Lewis b Brown, v~ice-chairman of the
membership committee Of the Automo-
bile Club of America. who visited the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor Club
this week as the guest of A. S. Marten,
told of the transportation plans the
club had perfected for the benefit Of
their members and friends.
The City of Savannah, the crack new
boat of the Ocean steamship line,
which will accommodate 125 passengers
with their cars, has been engaged for
the trip. The boat will be fitted up
with wireless biography so that guests
will be in complete touch with their
business and the stock market. There
will also be an orchestra and all up
to-date conveniences, including the
Marten fire patrol, which will protect
the cars at the races.
The boat will leave New York on
Saturday afternoon, November p. at 3
o'clock. arriving at Savannah the day
before the racing begins, and will re-
turn Friday, the day after the race,
reaching New York Sunday night.
During the entire time at Savannah
the members will live on board the
boat.
For the convenience of members of
the New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club who desire to attend the race,

The Atlantic Motor Car Company of
New Jersey has received several in
quiries for the new STANDARDIZATION
limousine and the indications are n a
his car will create a sensation in local
automobile circles. The company will
probably receive a demonstration In
about two weeks, but in case anyone
should desire to see the car before that
time the New York branch expects to
receive one some time next week. By
special arrangement a combination
price has been fixed by the company
so that the limousine can be purchased
with the touring body additional at a
moderate figure. This gives the owner
a summer and winter car at the cost of
one machine.

The Language" Of Animals.

Huxley thought that because Of the
absence of language the brutes can have
no trains of thought, but only trains of
feeling, and this is the opinion of most
comparative psychologists. l am myself
quite ready to admit that the lower ami
mails come as near to reasoning as they
come to having language. Their various
cries and calls-the call of the mate, to
the young, the cry of anger, of fear, of
alarm, of pain, of joy--do serve as the
medium of some sort Of communication,
but they do not stand for ideas or mental
concepts any more than the various cries
of child do. They are the result of
simple reactions to outward objects or to
inward wants and do not imply any men
tai process whatever. A grown person
may utter cry ofpain or fear or pleasure
with mind utterly blank of any ideas.
Once on a moonlight night I lay in wait
for some boy poachers in my vineyard.
As 1 suddenly rose up, clad in long black
cloak, and rushed for one and seized his
leg as he was fastening over the fence he
uttered wild, agonized scream precisely
as wild animal does when suddenly seized.
He told me afterward he was simply fright
ened out of his wits. For the moment he
was simply an unreasoning animal.

MODERN SURGERY.
It's Minute and Elaborate System OF
Sterilization.

The scene of an operating table in one
of our hospitals now would make one OF
the old masters of surgery stare. The op-
orator himself and all his staff are dressed
like the old holy priests of Solomon tenn
pie, wearing white caps and gowns, with
the nurses standing around like priestesses
all in spotless white, while every one about
the table has gone through as many ablu-
tions as BELTS the occasion Of bloody sac
rifice under the auspices of the immaculate
goddess of cleanliness. A minute and
elaborate ritual has been observed of ster-
ilizing everything-towels, threads, nee
dies, forceps, instruments and what not
while the floor itself is made Of glass or
glazed tiles rather than of wood. The sur
geon himself does not venture to cut the
victim till he has put on his sterillzed
gloves, because he cannot possibly clean
his fingers enough. Should any onlooker
take his hand out of his pocket to reach
for the gaping wound he would be elected
instanter for spelling the whole perform
ance with his defling touch.
The results of this vigilant war against
microbes are simply marvellous and can be
fully appreciated only by those who, like
myself, can remember the surgery Of for,
mer days in hospital wards and on the bat
tlefeld. Every Magazine.

Hints for the Housekeeper.

When coal is red it is nearly burned
| out.
When washing drop a small piece of
| orris root in the boiler and the clothes will
have delicate scent.
Use piece of velvet or velveteen for
dusting ribbons, hat and other articles of
silk. 1t is far better than brush.
To keep fire several hours shake out
the ashes, fill with coal, close the dampers
and partially open the slide above the fire.
When washing kitchen rag carpets starch
them with starch left over on wash day.
They will lie on the floor like new carpets.
To clean light kid slippers put one half
an ounce of hartshorn in saucer, dip a
bit of clean flannel in it and rub on piece
of white soap.
An excellent and simple method of
making lamp throw good, clear light is
to place small lump of gum camphor in
the receptacle with the oil.
In making fire, be sure that the CRATE
is quite clean, and the ash pan emptied
and cleared from cinders and ashes so that
there will be free circulation of air.
Immerse piece of chamois in cold water,
wiring out we'll and rub over woodwork.
IF any scratches appear apply little lin
seed oil with finger tip, after which polish
with dry chamois, and result will be very
satisfactory.
To protect the Dashboard of the piano a
large sheet of cardboard should be placed
in front of it when the little girl is practic-
ing. She is apt to swing her feet as she
sits on the high stool and kick unsightly
splotches in the polish.
To prevent hardwood floors from being
marked cut pieces Of thick felt the exact
size of the tips of the chairs and fasten on
with a strong glue. The felt is far less
expensive than rubber tips and will wear
much better. Rocking chairs may have a
long strip glued on.
Do not scrape the burnt saucepan. Fill
it instead with cold water, into which a
piece of laundry soap has been dropped,
and set it on the side to boil slowly until
the water has nearly boiled away. Refill
and let it boil away again. Then clean it
with scrubbing brush and soap.

TEACHERS PENSION LAW
Demanded by Enlightened Views OF
Public Education.

The stand which Governor Warfeld took
in his message on the question Of teachers
salaries and proper provision for their re-
tirement will doubtless meet with popular
approval, particularly as this recommenda-
ton affects the pension bill for teachers
which will come before the Legislature.
This measure is one of strict justice, and
so much interest has been manifested in its
provisions and passage that it is not likely
any serious opposition will develop. The
bill makes no unreasonable or extravagant
demands, but is along the enlightened
lines of the present high position of public
education, in which the teachers are looked
upon as class Of public servants doing the
most valuable work of the community, de-
voting their entire lives to this work and
deserving the substantial appreciation of
the community-an appreciation expressed
in providing for them when their period of
retirement from active work has arrived.
The teachers Of the city and the State
are not too well paid. 1t is impossible in
the majority Of cases to lay by enough from
living expenses for provision for the fu-
ture. Yet the exactions Of teaching forbid
the engaging in outside occupations; the
teacher whole time and attention must be
devoted to this one work Hence, as the
Governor urges, if we employ good teach
ers and wish to keep them, we must do as
other States, which hold out better pros
poets to their teaching force, especially in
the way Of liberal pension laws. In pass
ing this law the Legislature will do justice
to the teachers, to the public and to itself.

New Type of Roadway.

A new type of roadway has been devel-
oped in some parts of California known as
the petrolithic, which is nothing more than
well-built oiled road. The leading fea-
ture of this pavement is the very complete
compacting of the oiled material by means
of rolling tamper, a new piece Of road
machinery. 1t was designed to insure the
tamping of the material from the lower
portions upward to the surface, instead of
downward from the surface. The inventor
received the idea from seeing large flock
of sheep walk over wly-plowed road.
After the sheep had passed over it the soil
was found to be packed so hard that pick
indented it but short distance. To obtain
this effect with a roller the circumference
of the main roll is covered with hampers,
which act like so many feet walking over.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.
What It Is Doing in New York State
and May Do in Maryland.

As the subject of a public utilities com
mission for Maryland is being agitated, a
bill creating such commission having beer
already prepared by prominent Baltimore
lawyers, some facts regarding the sever
months experience of New York State
| with its public service commission, will bt
of interest The errors committed in thai
State in its work along this line should serve
to make our Legislature avoid like error
in this State.
The creation of the New York Public
Service Commission, for which credit be-
longs to Governor Hughes, was due to the
corporations whose business it now regu
lates. These corporations had grown SC
arrogant and so powerful that they even
attempted to dictate the course of legisla.
ton, having their paid attorneys occupying
seats in the General Assembly. The ju.
risdiction of the commission extends to
railroads and street railroads lying exclu-
sively within its districts; to any common
carrier operating exclusively within that
district, and to the manufacture, sale OF
distribution of gas and electricity for light,
heat and power in that district. An error
in the act passed one year ago creating the
commission was in the opinion Of Governor
Hughes in not including within the juris-
diction of the commission the telephone
companies The act lis likely to be amended
by the legislature now in session so that
the commission will have authority over
the telephone monopoly operating in this
district. The commission may investigate
freight rates on interstate traffic on rail-
roads within the State, and when such
rates are, in the opinion of the commission,
excessive or discriminatory or are levied in
violation of the Interstate Commerce Act,
the commission may apply to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for relief.
Despite partisan assaults upon it, the
commission has been, during the seven
months of its existence, of almost incalcul-
able public benefit, not only in keeping the
public service corporations in check, but
in acquainting the public with the dishon-
est operations of these corporations. All
of its sessions are public, and the testimony
which it has brought out would be suffi-
cient in any community having an efficient
public prosecutor, to land some of the
leading corporation managers and directors
in jail. 1t has, of course, no power to
prosecute. The commission investigation
has put the local traction monopoly, looted
and bankrupt, into the hands of the re-
ceivers, where it belonged, and has thus
saved the public from purchasing its almost
worthless stock at figures fixed by a coterie
of Wall Street gamblers. In the sphere
of investigation, with its consequent pub
licity of inside workings of the men in con-
troll of these corporations, the commission
has accomplished as great benefit as in
the exercise of its power in compelling
these corporations to give adequate service.
