It seems that a board of heallhsession does not go by without aresident or two of that sectionpresent at the meeting objectingto another resident's sewer drainsrunning through the objector'sproperty.

Last Tuesday night, anothervitriolic complaint was made by aresident. The health board in-formed the complainant that thematter would be investigated.

However, Arthur W. Larson,lealth inspector, reported thatonditions in the Henry Street sec-

tion have been investigated andthe violations appear to be ofpurely personal nature.

Mayor Christensen then enteredthe discussion stating that thetime has come for the board totake a definite stand on the con-troversies of the residents. Hefelt that the health board reacheda point in the matter where it wasno longer concerned with the re-fereeing of neighborly quarrels.Township Attorney Thomas L.Hanson concurred in the mayor'saction.

Expense Is CitedChristensen said '"it is abso-

lutely foolish for some to thinkthe health board must settleneighborly disputes when thehomeowner himself refuses to co-operate." He pointed out that in-vestigations are costly to thetownship and he would no longerstand for it.

Any violators of the health or-dinances hereafter will be sum-moned before Police Recorder Al-fred C. Urffer and dealt with ac-cording to the provisions in the or-dinance.

CHIEF RECOMMENDSBOUNDARY MARKSAS AID J U POLICESays Cops Act Because Of

Dispute Over Jurisdic-tion

COST SEEN AS SMALLRARITAN TOWNSHIP —Rec-

ommendations of Police ChiefCharles Grandjean to erect town-ship boundary markers on the mainhighways running through the mu-nicipality for the purpose of in-creasing the efficiency of the policedepartment was under the advise-ment of the township commissiontoday.

Chief Grandjean, at Tuesdaynight's meeting of the commission,reported that the erection of mark-ers to denote boundary lines wouldaid the police materially in takingimmediate action in accident cases.

At several points in the town-ship, it is impossible to ascertainwhether the police are within theirjurisdiction or in another munici-pality. In the case of an accident,valuable time is lost in decidingwhether or not to handle the caseor turn it over to the neighboringpolice. The same is true in thecase of fire.

It was pointed out that the costof the project would be negligiblecompared to its actual value to thepolice and fire departments as wellas to the residents of the town-ship.

The matter was referred to Com-missioner James C. Forgione, di-rector of public works, and Ray-mond P. Wilson, township engi-neer, for consideration and a re-port at the next meeting of theboard.

The thrilling, romantic, event-ful youth of Abe Lincoln makesDarryl F. Zanuck's production of"Younj? Mr. Lincoln" a completescreen surprise and excellent en-tertainment, according1 to advancereports based on "sneak screen-ings" of the unusual film.

Ignoring the great Lincoln withwhom everyone is familiar, thisCosmopolitan production for 20thCentury-Fox is a photoplay stir-ring with its drama, action andemotion; it depicts young Abewrestling:, fighting-, telling funnystories, falling in love. The high-light of ihe original screen play byLamar Trotti shows the younglawyer defying a frenzied lynchmob and defending two innocentboys in the famous "moonlightmurder" trial—young- Lincoln'sfirst challenge.

This is a Lincoln few peopleare familiar with. At the age of 23he was a gangling, brawny-armedyouth, a shy young lover and a"regular fellow." Covering ap-proximately ^even years of hisyouth, the film culminates in thefrontier trial.

Reenacting the best of the fa-mous Lincoln anecdotes, the filmis highlighted by such lines as:

To the lynch mob: "I'm not go-ing- to make any speeches. AH I've(jot to say is: I can lick any manhere hands down!"

To Mary Todd on the dancefloor: "I'd like to dance with youin the: woi>t way, Miss Todd; butany dancing I'd do would be thewor.st way!" ;

And during the famous "moon-1

light murder" trial: "How can amother choose which son shalllive, which shall die?"

Directed by John Ford, the filmfeatures Henry Fonda in the titlerole, Alee Brady as the mother ofthe accused boys, Marjorie Weav-er as Mary Tod.'l, and ArleenWhclan. Included in the cast areEddie Collins, Pauline Moore asAnn Rutledge, Richard Cromwell,Donald Meek, Dorris Bowdon andEddie Quillan. Kenneth Macgownserved as associate producer.

RITZ THEATREThis year's successor to last

year's memorable; "Four Daugh-i-s," is another "Warner Bros, pic-

ture of I he joys ;md sorrows of anamusing and lovable family, en-title! "Daughters Courageous,"scheduled to open next Friday atthe Rita Theatre.

While it is in no sense a se-quel to "Four Daughters," sinceit concerns another family playedby the same stars, but in a- dif-ferent setting;, the new picture hasmany facets of resemblance.

The most striking, and whatwill probably be the most satisfy-ing, is the fact that every mem-ber of the cast of "Four Daugh-ters' 'has a part of equal import-ance and of a similar significansein the new production. To assurerecapture of the charm which sodistinguished last year*s picture,the studio assigned the same dir-ector, Michael Curtiz, to "Daugh-ters Courageous" and even had thescreen play written by a team ofscenarists of which one memberwas also a co-author of last year's"Four Daughters."

A picture that packs a granddramatic punch, and relies on anunusual factor—short wave radio—for much of the motivation ofthe plot, ojjened last night at theKHz Theatj'e where Paramount's"Grand Jury Secrets'* was pres-ented to local audiences for thefirst time*

Director James Hogan, awarethat his material called for force-ful players, has cast the picturewell, choosing John Howard erst-while "Bulldog Drumniond," andlovely Gail Patrick' for the topfeatured roles. NoiH has he skimp-ed1 on (he suportiitg- cast, whatwith the presence of WilliamFrawley, Harvey Stephens, JaneDaivwell and Porter Hall.

1938 Report of the ScoutsThe H):iS report of the National

Council of the Hoy Scouts ofAmerica contained the followingstatement regarding the achieve-ments Scouting had attained dur-ing that year.

"Dunn** the year 1938, 14 goldmedals were awarded for saving

. Jjfe at the risk of the rescuer, and'.'2 CM'titWiUos for heroism. Fiveof those who received the medalwere boys only l;J years of age.They had been in Scouting- hardlya year, and yet they had in thatshort time prepared themselves tohandle cooly and quickly desperatesituations, where the lives of othersas well, as their own were endan-gered. This involved character aswell as skill, the ability to thinkquickly, act swiftly."

"It is a source of satisfaction to* us that year by year the number

of Scouts who qualify for Eaglevank steadily increases. Lust year,8,784 Scouts earned this badge—17,:*S1 Scouts earned the MeritBadge in Life Saving, 32,013qualified in First Aid, ,'!1,85G inSwimming, and 30,392 in PublicHealth.

First Aid in CampFor the past two months, every-

one has been discussing and pre-paring for their summer programof hiking and camping and are in-clined to put aside all other Scout-

4 ing activities.

But in order to enjoy the sum-)mer program you must make use )of the' experience and knowledgeyou have gained from every activ-ity which the Scout program offers.

One of the most important Scoutrequirements and one which is ofuse continuously, is First Aid. Nomatter where you are, at home, atcamp, at the beach, or out ridingwith the family; First Aid will beof use in any accident or illness.

At the council camp to be heldin August at Mendham, New Jer-sey, there will be little need for aScout to use his knowledge of FirstAid for there are men there whoare trained for this type of work.But a t troop or patrol camps, it is

essential that every member incamp have some idea of what theproper procedure for renderingFirst Aid is.

Here are a few First Aid hintswhich should prove especially valu-

Toothache may be cured by ap-plying a slice of fresh garlic tothe aching member.

Common mud is good for bee-stings if you have no iodine handy.

You can easily make a hot-waterbottle by filling a canteen with hotwater or by wrapping a hot stonein a woolen shirt.

Be sure that you have some sun-burn ointment along, especially ifyou are going swimming.

In case of poisoning, an emeticmay be made of common salt andmustard dissolved in lukewarmwater.

Mendham ! Here We ComeJust two more weeks and Scouts

from every district of the Raritancouncil will be enjoying themselvesat the Raritan council camp atMendham, New Jersey. But be-fore you do go to camp, here is alittle reminder of what a week ortwo in camp can do for you.

Hurry, hurry, don't be slow,Off to camp we soon will go,Off to have a lot of funAfter all our work's been done.

Swimming, boating, hiking too;They're some things we'll try

to do.Cooking, eating, games, and

then,Soon we'll all be home again.All the things that we've been

taught;Nature's wonders that we've

sought.Weeks in camp will help us

whenWe grow up, to be REAL men.

The WPA StrikeThe public's mind toward the strike of

WPA. workers is not one of sympathy to-ward the strikers. It is one condemningthem. However, before adjudging guiltythese who are biting the hand that feedsthem, some thought should be given to thefundamentals and policies that underlie thewhole vast relief structure. Those funda -mcntals and policies are in Washington.

When thought is given to that factor,public contempt for the WPA strike mayr-vell turn, for it should not be difficult \o se,ethat the strike is an inevitable off-shoot of aFederal relief policy as deplorable as thestrike itself. , • , .

The relief system has operated on a.theory that relief workers in the skilledjtrades should be paid the wage prevailingin private industry. -That means they havereceived the same wages as workers in^private employment doing the same kind

,of work.: No one will begrudge a worker getting

as much for his labors as possible, but it isian unsound policy for private, employersIwjw.Jwva ito earn, payrolls? to have to bidit£ainst relief projects supported by moneyExacted from taxpayers. It is unsound sim-ply because it kills initiative and makes em-tf^ lif ttti thanj ^ y m on relief more attractive than

honest labor at a real job. This has beenreported from many communities whereemployers, especially farmers, complainthey cannot get workers to quit relief proj-ects and take private employment. Re-ports from many sections of the country tellof. crops rotting in the fields because of thisintolerable situation.

The bone of contention now, and thething that has precipitated the strike, issimply that Congress has ruled that WPA-'crs must work 130 hours for theirThat is not an unfair demand, and thosewho are striking are only aggravating analready weary taxpaying public.

Meteors Attract AttentionLast week a flaming meteor attracted

the attention of thousands of people inOhio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania andOntario.

Just a week before, residents of Port-land, Oregon, reported the explosion of ameteor which was hoard and seen over aspace of several hundred miles.

Both of these meteors seem to havebeen of unusual size. Most of the so-railed "falling stars" that we see are smalparticles which burn out when they hit theearth's atmosphere. Occasionally, a solidparticle hits the earth and sometimes theseparticles weigh several hundred poundsTin.1 largest meteor collision ever knowiwas reported in Siberia in 1906. It re-sulted in a crater several miles wide anddamaged trees for a radius of many milesJn prehistoric times, a meteor, which struckin Arizona, created a crater a mile wideAlong the Carolina Coast are cei-tain era-lei's that some scientists think may rep resent the results of a collision with fragments in the head of a comet some millionsof years ago.

The largest meteor ever picked up wafound in Bellville Bay, Greenland, and is £thirty-six and one-half ton chunk, mostlyof iron ten feet by six by five. It is nowin the American Museum of Natural Hislory in New York.

Story With A Moralr-JInf^ "^Philadelphia .court .§i jcjyrefugees who had just been'"granted U.citizenship offered to buy an Americanffcig; to hang in the court room. There were•;hrr;e Italians, two Czechoslovakians andRussian. The Russian was a refugee fromriymmunist country, and the others fronRacist countries.

Said the six after being granted theirpapers: "We are so happy to become Amer-£w-.-i citizens that we thought Your Honor

Squalus Victims Forgotten?Under pressure from various veteran

groups, the United States has made gen-jrous provisions for those who served thisountry in time of war.

Not many weeks ago, the newspapersvere filled with praise for the conduct ofhe men who died in the Squalus submarine

disaster. Nearly every citizen expressedympathy for the brave sailors who wento their death in the service of their country.

Well, one might suppose that liberal>rovision has been made for the widowsf the men who gave up their lives'underhe waves. It seems, however, that suchs not the case. The Army and Navy Jour-nal says: "Forgotten are the widows andhildren of the.men who went to their deathn the service1 of their, country." •

Calling attention to meager pensionrates, which "are the result of discrimina-tory laws," the Journal says that depend-jnts of the men in regular service, who dien line of duty during peace-time, receive'less income than the dependents of emer-gency and other personnel who die in timeof war, less even than the income of thedependents of those enrolled in the Civilian

onservation Corps."Obviously, this discrimination cannot be

justified. The widows of the Squalus vic-,ims and the children of the men have suf-fered a'loss that cannot be exaggerated intime of war; They should receive pensionsommensurate with those given to war

veterans.

Killing To CareAs late as the year 1800 more than 200

crimes were punishable by death in Eng-land and it was not until 1846 that therebegan in this country the process of pruningthe powers of government to put its citi-zens to death on flimsy charges.

Thus we may well look into a bill nowpending in Washington and which wouldhave made our death-dealing forefathersgreen with envy.

Under its provisions, officers or direc-tors of companies who "have knowledge"of.any anti-trust violations are liable to anyor all of the following penalties: a $5,000fine, a year in jail, mandatory forfeiture oftwice their salaries for the period of theviolation, and temporary or permanent in-junction against serving the company or itscompetitors.

No one would object seriously to dras-tic penalties if guilt in anti-trust cases couldbe determined with absolute accuracy. But,with the present cloudiness and obscurity ofmuch of this legislation, business men fre-quently cannot tell whether certain indus-trial practices are legal or illegal. Suchdecisions rest on the whim of a bureau inWashington. In such circumstances, sen-tence of "industrial death" for those whomay have stepped over the borderline inignorance is scarcely the way to aid thatreturn to prosperity that business is soanxious to achieve.

OTHER EDITORS SAYTaking It Like a ManThere's a notion among the doc-

tors that when a patient has can-cer he must be lied to and shieldedfrom the depressing truth becausethe thought would bowl him overeven more than the cancel", butClaude Joseph Bradley of Brook-lyn is showing just how sadly thatunderestimates the quality of areal man.

Mr. Bradley is 53, a cementsalesman capable of earning any-thing he reasonably wants, and hehas a lot to live for. But he wentout to the clinic at Rochester,Minn., in May and received hisdeath sentence. It's just a fewweeks for him now, or perhaps afew months. And can he take it?

Well, he certainly captivated allthe newspaper reporters the otherday when they went in to inter-view him about his past, presentand future. He thinks the way tospend his last few days on earth isto be unpretentious about it butto be gay, to dispense lavish hos-pitality, to jolly up his old friendsand make as many new friends aspossible, and in case anyone needscement he still handles orders bytelephone.

If we wrote here that he wassetting a superb heroic examplehe'd probably resent the prenten-tious phrase. He puts it other-wise, merely that "there's a lot tothis do-or-dic stuff." And his mindis all on the "doing." When thetime comes he'll go out with hisflags all fluttering from the mast-head, and his brother human be-ings who may be tarrying a littlelonger can well afford to fire proudsalutes from the shore.—N. Y.World-Telegram.

Giving The News To The WorldThe use of short-wave radio stations to

transmit propaganda into foreign countrieshas been utilized for > ears by the subsidizedbroadcasting stations of Germany, Italy andJapan. Recently, other countries have re-sorted to the ether in order to get the newsof special events into various countries.

In a few days, this country will have itsfirst 100-kilowatt short-wave station whichwill broadcast news to Central and SouthAmerican countries.

Officials responsible for the broadcastswill follow the American plan of giving thenews "even if it hurts." Foreign languageexpert announcers, born in South America,will relate the news in Spanish and Portu-guese so that listeners in this hemisphere•caii. readily understand the broadcasts.

Incidently, American :shovtAvave sta-tions report formidable "defense weapons"are used by European Governments to pre-vent listeners from receiving Americanbroadcasts. During the Russian spy case,a mysterious roar of interference drownedout the announcer's voice whenever a bul-letin concerned the trial. A similar roarwas reported by listeners abroad duringannouncements concerning German news,

Pay-as-You-Go for ReliefThe Assembly meant well, but

its relief financing program wasnever more than an expedient, de-signed to avoid new taxes andbond issues, both banned by theRepublican platform of 1938.

Now the Assembly's optimisticstructure has been virtually de-molished by the opposition of theSenate and the Governor. TheGovernor's veto of the proposal todivert $3,000,000 of gas tax reve-nues from the sinking fund bringsa relief showdown nearer.

There remains only a choice be-tween large bond issues and newtaxes. Now is the time for thepublic to be wary. A fast one isabout to be pulled.

If the spenders can get awaywith it, bond issues exceeding?100,000,000 will be foisted on the

people of New Jersey. They willbe told the bonds are to keep theneedy from starving. This will bea lie, because it is planned to di-vert a large part of the proceedsto new highways, waterworks andpublic buildings.

The Republicans are highlycritical of President Roosevelt'sborrowing to finance federal ex-penditures. The Republicans insistthe President .should balance thebudget, but in New Jersey someof them want to meet their ownproblems by the Roosevelt method.

If borrowing for current needsis unsound in Washington it is un-sound in Trenton. A bond issueunder present conditions would bedishonest and a fraud upon thepublic, because it is an attempt toconceal what the politicians arespending.

If further economy is impos-sible, which is not at all certain,and if the state treasury is dry,then, as the Sunday Call has beenreiterating since January 8, soundpublic finance requires that relieffunds be raised by increasing staterevenue. This docs not mean gen-eral sales or income taxes, butlight taxes on cigarettes, cosmeticsand other luxuries, higher motortruck taxes and a one-cent increasein the gasoline tax, which wouldbring the New Jersey tax to thelevel of New York and Pennsyl-vania.—Newark Sunday Call.

that state departments entirely inthe hands of salaried executivesare ridden with politics, but cer-tainly there is more of it than inthe case of departments headed bynon-salaried commissions who needbe grateful to no one for their ap-pointments and who will suffer nofinancial loss if they are cut offfrom their jobs.

Horse racing is going to bewatched closely in New Jersey dur-ing the next few years, and itwould benefit from the efforts ofa non-salaried commission with nopolitical obligations. — SomersetMessenger-Gazette.

Salaried or Non-SalariedThere seems to be a good chance

that the Horse-Racing AmendmentAssociation will come through andrecommend that horse racing inNew Jersey be controlled by afour-man, non-salaried commission.What will happen to the recom-mendation when it gets in thehands of the Legislature is an-other matter of course. The Legis-lature has rather liberal ideas ofsalaries when it has any controlover appointments, and $7,500 ayear has been the sum establishedas worthy of anyone who has beenappointed to the Horse RacingCommission.

Non-salaried commissions havebeen of more benefit to New Jer-

| soy than salaried commissions.! Our Institutions and Agencies de-partment is run by policies estab-lished by a non-salaried commis-sion, and it has had a long experi-

j ence relatively free from criticism.] Many other State institutions aremanaged by non-salaried commis-sions, and they have dischargedtheir obligations without reproach.

This does not necessarily mean

Tax On CigarettesNew York State increased its

tax on cigarettes with the resultthat many persons living in NewJersey and working in New Yorkendeavor to buy all (heir cigarettesin New Jersey; and arc also pur-chasing cigarettes in New Jerseyby the carton for their friends liv-ing in New York.

This added tax is reducing thesales of New York retailers andhelping our retailers, which ispleasant enough for New Jerseyfolk, but economists might continu-ally inform the legislators hy let-ters to newspapers, and otherwise,that high taxes do seriously ham-per business and are one of themain factors causing so much dis-tress. Thousands of small retail-ers throughout the country are los-ing their stores, or in danger oflosing them, for no other reasonthan the terrific tax burden. Inmany instances, simply because asmall, old-fashioned store is on abusiness thorofare, in some townsit is assessed for exorbitant taxesresulting in men and women beingforced to the wall not by legitimatebusiness competition, but by poli-ticians who will not, or cannot, runmunicipal governments on a busi-ness basis. We have governmentalprojects purporting to show howthe public may be; served at littlecost to them. These compete withlegitimate industries. What wesorely need are projects in everycity, county and state governmentshowing how inexpensively, but ef-ficiently, such governments may berun.—Freehold Transcript.

SWEETNESS AND LIGHTBy CHARLES E. GREGORY

Chiselling On A Big ScaleI saw the other day by the Newark News, which or-

dinarily doesn't get out on a limb in such matters, thatthe Sovereign State of New Jersey this year chiselled 1,200passes, roughly, from the railroads. This may give yousome idea why the railroads can't pay their taxes.

I wasn't exactly surprised to learn about the currentvolume of deadheads carried on the trains these days be-cause even during my time around the capitol when theward-leaders were just getting hep to the racket, theywere handing out seven or eight hundred. Practicallyeveryone you knew, with the exception of the elevator op-erators, had passes; and you just didn't belong if you hadto buy a ticket when you travelled.

Passes are a favorite form of patronage. Gratis travelwas allowed certain state ofTicials under the franchises giv-en the railroads but the original list of beneficiaries has expanded by legislative enactment in recent years to thepoint where cob-webs are growing over the grating in theticket booths in the principal travel centers throughout,the State.

They All Get'Em V ISh\ addition to a long list of judges, dopartnint heads,

legislators and stenographers .statutory allowance is al-so made for passes for clerks to the various standing t;mittees of the legislature, door-keepers and bill-rVThe bill-clerks never clerk beyond opening day ol" thision when they arrive to get their checks and theirpasses, the door-keepers run out of doors to keep and tincommittee clerks can't find any committees handy to workfor. But they go back home and work for the ticket, any-way, because there's always someone in the family whowants to take a trip.

It probably wouldn't be quite so bad if the sundryclerks, officials and stenographers kept the ducats fortheir own use. But that isn't the case. If you're known tohave a pass and are not willing to let a friend use it tosave expenses on a week-end to New York, you'ro strictlya heel—and in the State House where there are heels ga-lore on divers other counts, this isn't one of them.

I remember very well the time that one of MayorHague's representatives in the legislature went to the Sec-retary of State, the issuing authority, and told him a longstory about losing his pass and begging a duplicate. Thehired help in Trenton doesn't argue much with MayorHague's delegates, and filled out a spare without comment..

The Pass Wasn't LostThe pass hadn't been lost, however, and the dupli-

cate was simply requested for a friend so as not to caiiniiany inconvenience to anyone. The hitch came, however, inthe form of a conductor with a memory and the coinci-dence that both politician and pal took the Htirac trainone night. There was. hell to pay for a minute, but afterthe flurry was over no permanent remedy was sought orpenalty exacted.

For years, now, the newspapers regularly try !o geta list from the Secretary of State, of the pass-holders. Italways is refused, although I know no legal reason why.The laws specifically provide, rather generously too, thosepersons entitled to ride free. I can't see why any gooilcitizen can't check up to ascertain whether the statutesare being obeyed. It stands to reason that 1200 passo.-iwill go a long way, and indications are that someone whoshould be paying his fare is travelling as a guest ol therailroad.

A Neighborly Thought:1 must remember to talk about this matter to my

neighbor, Mr. Hoffman, who knows his way around lli<>State House and might give nip an idea how I couldget a nice little scoop for myself by turning up that list.I know it would make very interesting reading, ami .sine;Mr. Hoffman is a newspaperman himself, I know howouldn't turn down a friend if he could help him gut agood yarn.

Come to think of it, I'll give him all righin to thnstory if he wants to dig around and get it on his ownhook. I won't even claim any credit for the suggestion. Ifhe wants it, lie can have it. That's the kind of a guy I am.

For Cleaner PoliticsThis newspaper supporter! the

original Hatch bill, introduced lastyear when even a mild' restrainton relief politics was too much forthe United States Senate. We fa-vored the stronger measure offeredby the canny and courageous Sena-tor from New Mexico this springafter the Sheppard Committee haddisclosed shocking abuses in lastyear's campaigns. We applaudedcongressional action now in adopt-ing this bill after the House ofRepresentatives had restored someof the "teeth" extracted by itsJudiciary Committee.

It should be recognized thatsome of its provisions are drasticand would be hard to enforce.Then, too, far-reaching reform ofpolitical practices requires morethan the simple passing of a law;it needs fundamental changes inthe attitude of people and officials.We can understand too the argu-ment of men wise in the ways ofAmerican government that actu-ally to prevent all Federal adminis-trative employees from taking partin "political management or inpolitical campaigns" might seri-ously hamper the operation^ of-ttio-

| party government. 'Yet this measure is headed in

I the right direction. The very ex-tent to which it must upset thepatronage machine only emphasizes the need for reform. So toodo the gibes of opponents, askingwhether a postmaster would bejailed for contributing a dollar toa campaign fund. A day will comein the United States when that

. question will not seem funny. Unt dei- a proper civil service no gev

eminent employee will need to buyhis job. At a time when Federaladministration is being tremen-dously extended there is less dan-

er in liar ring Federal workersfrom political activity than in per-nitting the development of a Fed-eral Tammany.—Chri*tian ScienceMonitor.

'Eat Your Spinach'What is this? Has somebody

been playing a colossal joke on usall these years?

Here comes Dr. Clara M. Davisof Winnetka, 111., with an experi-ment that seems to prove that chil-dren, once weaned, can pick theirown diets just as well as grownupscan choose for them.

Dr. pavis placed large trays offood before the children, let themeat what they liked. They triedeverything, soon developed likesand dislikes, ate what they likedand all thrived. All the childrennaturally and unaided picked outdiets for themselves which stackedup in daily calories with the dietsby specialists.

Just how far one would want togo with this principle, it is hard to.say, but it would be interesting ifthe next development would be amachine that would read the mindof the 15-month old youngster.What science ought to learn next iswhat Junior is thinking when dad-dy says, 'Eat your spinach."—NewBrunswick; Ho/ne Nevf. • ; -

Down To the SeaWell, here I am back in harness....—-What I need most

is another couple of weeks off to rest up from the vacationjust concluded At any rate I am back at the keys again

Don't be at all surprised not to find anything in thiscolumn about baseball, softball or what have you I'vegrone boat-minded So much so that I (along with ArtGardner) went out and got me a 33-foot cruiser—just tokeep up with the Jonses of Smith's Creek,. Sewaren.

Listed with the equipment that came with the boatwere several books on water and piloting regulations

I read a lot of the stuff and gained some knowledgeboat owners should know For an ordinary seamansecond class, I'm packing a helluva lot of nerve to tellweather-beaten skippers what to do and what not todo But, I've been approached by a half-dozen boatowners along Smith's Creek to write a few lines that willinterest the pilots of the nearly 100 crafts being mooredin Seawamen So here goes.

To begin with,-1 advocate a thorough knowledge ofthe Pilot Rules—and general application of them as a mat-ter of course I believe, too, that we profit individuallyand collectively when, as individuals, we draft a code ofethics for ourselves that goes beyond the exact letter of thelaw In doing- what we may to assist fellow boatmen,and refraining from action, not necessarily prohibited, thatmight cause another annoyance or inconvenience, wesquare with the best traditions of the sea..r....W.e do well asboatmen to perpetuate them.

Possession of a big fast powerful boat confers nospecial rights or privileges on the owner The driveron the highway whose pleasure it is to cut m and out oftraffic lanes will find no such fixed lanes on the water -Yet afloat there is still no justification for plying one'scourse heedless of the rights of others The lines ofproper course and conduct are no less well defined merelybecause of the absence of white lines and traffic lights.

The boatman who equips his boat according to the dis-tates of common sense, and operates it according to rulesof common respect for the rights of others, will never runaful of the law Demands of the Pilot Rules are few, inessence The equipment they require, the signals theyprescribe, and the privileges and duties they delineate havebeen drafted solely for the general safety of all afloat.

Thy insure equal rights to all, prevent misunder-standings in critical situations Certainly there is nointent deliberately to restrict the liberties of those whoturn to the water for the very freedom it affords _ -AsI see it, though, boat owners should not comply with es-tablished regulations solely because they are laws—toescape penalty A Federal law makes the owner ofthe boat responsible for damage caused by her wake -However, if we see that the wash we are creating causesthe fisherman in his rowboat or the party in the sailingdinghy or archored cruiser discomfort or even concernwe certainly violate the spirit of the law, if not the letter.

In boating, we already have laws enough to insure thesafe and proper operation of every pleasure craft Themarine laws which we now have are fair and reasonable

General compliance with such regulations can obviatemore stringent enforcement, or the drafting of new, un-necessary, regulations Several of the pilots operatingout of Smith's Creek invariably run their boats in and outof the stream entirely too fast, working up a wake thatpounds the moored vessels against their stakes and floats

A little common sense is all that is required to remedythe violation.

Well, Captain Starbuck of the Yacht "Sandra,"what would you do? Would you grab for the anchorand snub it? ...Would you cast off the sheet (if youhad one), or haul it in? Or would you jump for thehalward ? The wisest thing to do is get out yourPilot Rules and become more familiar with your rightsin the water . That's what I'm doing.

England Keeping FitEngland has a keep-fit movement

that is growing daily and may be-come a challenge to the health andyouth parades in other countries ofEurope. In the county of Londonalone are more than 100 health cen-ters, where 500 evening healthclasses are held weekly. In theseclasses 23,000 young men exerciseafter business hours. As manymore youths are having athletic andphysical training in other placeseach evening. In some exclusiveclubs electrical "horses" and "cam-els" are ridden. The Americangame of basketball has caught onand promises to become a body-building rage.

Swaziland. South Africa, was seenin the trial at Hlatikulu of three na-tives for murder. The rite was heldin connection with the funeral cere-monies for the son of a chief. An-other son, one of the accused, sum-moned his followers to ambush thefirst man who should pass a certainspot near the river. Toward sunsetSikota, a native, strolling past, wasset upon and stabbed to death. Theblood of the victim was collectedand given to a witch doctor, whoanointed a selected member of thetribe with it. The anointed nativecompleted the funeral rites.

Usually import-ed paints are used, as they provemuch more satisfactory than thenative product—a hard-bound color-wash in which can be found mix-tures of whiting, earth colors, eggs,buffalo milk, sugar (which acts as aglue) and possibly a touch of dis-infectant.
