The following appeared in the New.
ark Advertiser" of June 4th:
Wrangle on Plans for Normal
School
State Education Board Commit
tee in Midnight Session.
I" Row Over Architect"
There was a midnight session of
the special committee of the State
Board of Education in MOrriStoWn,
Saturday, which was appointed for
the purpose of obtaining plans for es-
Inmates of cost of construction of the
proposed new Normal School at Mont
clair Heights. An acrimonious dis
cusSion took place, it is said, over the
question of the right of the board to
employ an architect other than the
State architect"
We congratulate the readers of our
esteemed contemporary on the accu-
racy with which current events of es-
pecial interest are reported in it's col
umnS
The preceding account of the Satur-
day evening session of the committee
of the State Board of Education is en-
tirely correct with the exception of
four important particulars.
l. There was DO acrimonious dis
cussion,., Of any character among the
members Of any committee.
2. The building of new Normal
School or the selection of an architect
was not discussed either formally or
informally.
3. The special committee having
the matter in charge did not hold a
meeting.
4. The members Of said committee
were not present.
If a reporter must lie for living
why should he be malicious about it?
The simple truth is that the COM
mittee held a ten minute session on
Monday evening and on Tuesday re-
ported to the. Board srhat.a recently
enacted law might be so construed as
to place the erection of all State build
ings in the hands of the Commissioner
of Charities and Corrections.
They had referred the matter to the
Acknowledgement and nothing can be
done until his opinion has been re-
ceived.

MUCH progress has been made by
the potable water commission APP
pointed by Governor Stokes to inquire
into the subject of state ownership OF
the numerous beautiful lakes within
the commonwealth and it is expected
that a report will be handed to the
next legislature recommending that a
number of the most important of these
fresh water bodies be acquired. 1t is
desired that the lakes be acquired not
only as source Of public water supply
but for the enjoyment Of fishing and
boating by the general public instead
Of being held by several private owners
Of wealth. Resentment is felt because
many of the prettist lakes in New Jer-
sey have been purchased outright by
residents of the large cities and are
now being held as private summer re-
sorts to the exclusion of persons living
In the neighborhood who formerly had
the privilege of fishing and boating at
pleasure 1t was for the purpose Of
inquiring into these matters and to
ascertain the price that the state
should pay for such property that the
commission was appointed. Among
the most desirable Of these lakes are !;
Morris county Budd s lake, ATS acres I;
Green pond, 400 acres; Lake Hopat-
cong, 2,443 acres !; Splitrock lake, 315
acres. Passaic county Cedar pond,
2lS acres: Dundee lake, 224 acres
Greenwood lake, 1920 acres Pompton
lake, 1876 acres Macopin lake, 229
acres. Sussex county -Culyer's pond,
486 acres; Long pond, 299 acres
Swartswood lake, sos acres Wawaya-
ma lake, 24O acres. There are, all told,
ITO natural and artificial lakes in the
State, ranging from eleven acres up to
2,443 acres, which is the acreage of
Lake Hopatcong, the largest. A large
number of these are located in pic
turesque sections and their ownership
by the State would be most beneficial
to the people from an artistic view
point, in addition to insuring the fu-
ture generations a pure and certain
supply of water for domestic uses
Governor Stokes ever since he has
been in Office has strongly urged the
acquisition Of these lakes.

Eaat orange MunIeipal ownership.

Within seven miles Of the corporate
limits Of Morristown, the city Of East
Orange has acquired eight hundred
acres Of land for the present and fut-
ure water supply needs. The land is
at White Oak Ridge, just across the
Passaic river from Morris county and
between Chatham and Livingston.
Here twenty wells have driven and
connected up and an extensive pump
ing station erected with two pumps,
with capacity Of four million gallons
daily each. There is also an electric

FROM the start we have held the
opinion that the place to begin the
investigation Of insurance companies
was with the State Banking and In
.surance Department., hence we were
not surprised when it came out on
Friday at the first regular session Of
the Senate Committee to investigate
the life insurance, trust, and savings
bank companies of this State, in testi-
mony given by the Deputy Commits
sioner of Banking and Insurance, that
while that department. makes a care
full inspection of the State banks,
trust companies and savings institu-
lions at least once year, investiga-
tions of the insurance companies are
made only on an average of once in
three or four years, and then the de-
partment has practically no direct
connection with them. The work is
done by a New York actuary who con-
ducts it in his own way and the de-
partment accepts his reports without
further inquiry. This revelation is Of
itself sufficient to Justify searching
examination into the conduct Of the
life insurance business in this State,
and such an one the people will insist
upon. Ifitis made by the committee
now in,charge, all right. II not, the
matter will surely come up again be-
fore the next Legislature, and in the
face of this official testimony the de-
mand for a turning on Of the lime
light viii be too imperioqs for denial
or temporizing.

Az a General Rule, They Came From
the Smaller Countries.
Portugal is a small country, with a
land area one-third less than the state
of New York. but it has turned out in
its time celebrated navigators, Cabral
and Da SouZa among them.
1t is a somewhat peculiar circum-
stance in the history Of ocean naviga-
ton that the chief navigators of Eu-
rope have usually been natives Of
minor kingdoms and without the adj
vantages which would naturally accrue
to a representative of one Of the larger
governments.
Christopher Columbus, as every
schoolboy knows, was native OF
Genoa at the time when the Italian
peninsula was subdivided among nu-
merous petty governments. John
Cabot was a Venetian, who sailed In
the service Of England, as Columbus
had sailed in the service of Spain.
Amerigo Vespucci was a Florentine,
who sailed originally in the service Of
Spain and afterward transferred him.
self to the Portuguese service and
then went back to the Spanish service
for second time.
vitus Boring, after whom Boring
strait was called, was a Dane by
birth, who served under the naval
flag of Russia. Magellan, after whom
Magellan strait was named, was ma
tive of Alemtejo, in Portugal, and was
the first to complete the circumnaviga-
ton of the globe, in 1922.
verazzani was Florentine, whose
voyages of discovery were undertaken
under the protection Of the flag Of
France. Hendrix Hudson was an
Englishman and it seems surprising to
many persons in this day familiar with
the pre-eminence of England as mari
time nation that he should have been
in the service of the government OF
Holland when he discovered Manhat-
tan Island.

Honey Gathererx That Have VERY

Almost every form and variety Of hui
man crime is to be- found among ami
mails. Cases Of theft are noticed among
bees Buchner in bis Psychic Life OF
Animals" speaks Of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble Of working, attack well stocked
hives in masses, kill the sentinels and
the inhabitants, rob the hives and car
ry of the provisions. After repeated
enterprises Of this description they ac-
quire taste for robbery and violence.
They recruit whole companies, which
get more and more numerous, and
finally they form regular colonies of
brigand bees.
But 1t is a still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced ar
ti1cially by giving working bees a mix
ture Of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage, which has the same disas-
trous effects upon them as upon men.
They become Ill disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work, and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plumber the well supplied
hives.
There Is one variety of bees - the

on plumber.

Cold Feet.

Never go to bed with cold feet; new
er try to sleep without being perfectly
certain that you will be able to keep
them warm. To lie one night with cold
feet gives such strain to the system
as will be felt seriously, perhaps end
ing in fit of sickness. Cold feet show
an unbalanced circulation. The very
best thing to do is to warm them by ex-
ercise. if that be practicable; if not
by dipping them In hot and cold water
alternately two or three times and then
using vigorous friction. If that does
not warm them and keep them warm
heat them before the fire. drying them
thoroughly. and then correct your hab
its or improve your health. for be sure
that one or the other Is wrong, perhaps
both.
