The system OF relief that prevails in

boats can approach only in fine
weather.
As Il matter of fact. the men often

TWO Minute SKETCHES
Patrick Henry.
By ROBERTUS LOVE.

~ ATRICK HENRY is the patron
~ saint of the American school
q boy. He made two speeches,
each containing single sen
tence sufficient to immortahze any or
ator. Give me liberty or give me
death" These seven simple words still
thrill the breasts of lovers of freedom
throughout the world. Caesar had his
Brutus. Charles the First his Crom-
well and George the Third Urea
son, Treason cry the royalist dele
gates in horror "And George the
Third concludes Patrick Henry scorn-
fully, may profit by their example. If
that be treason, make the most of it,
Fly these two speeches. which nerved
the colonists to stronger protest against
British misrule, is Patrick Henry best
remembered. but there was much more
In this provincial Nirginian than mere
forensic fervor. Henry proved his
words by his deeds AS soldier, as leg
islator, as governor of Virginia and in
all capacities to which he was called
he showed metal that rang true.
Yet Patrick Henry as Il boy and
youth was considered Il neerdO well.
He was n red headed, slouchy ungain-
ly youngster, caring little for school
and much for boyiSh adventures in
wonderland. He failed III three or four
business enterprises, including farming
and bookkeeping, and. though a mar
ried man. was desperately poor
Some years before he reached thirty,
however. Patrick Henry perked up and
aStonished the Virginia natives. He
studied law about month and man
aged to obtain admission to the ba~
In n surprisingly brief time he was Il
leader in his profession.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Patrick Henry was his ability
as decliner of office in his later
years. He declined Il seat in the Unit
Ell States senate; he declined Washing
tons invitation TO become secretary of
state; he declined the appointment TO
the chief justiceship of the supreme
court of the United States: he declined
another election to the g0vcrnorShip of
Virginia. though he did submit TO cleo
ton TO the house of delegates, but died
before takiugNhis seat.

Ware Your Friends Plants.

eff you have friend going away for
the summer said the woman of ex-
perience, don't keep plant for her.
The thing will probably die away, and
you would consider yourself respon-
sihle. 1 worried through six weeks
one summer tending plant for a
friend and then was invited to the
country for week end. 1 stayed two
days in addition. OF course the plant
was dead when L came back, and my
outing was half spoiled by worrying
over it. l bought duplicate of 1t the
day before my friend returned, and it
cost me 50. Even then she said she

TIMELY AUTO TOPICS
another Demand for an Amendment
of Nez0 Jersey Lao.

The North Jersey Automobile Club Of Newark
is the latest organization to come forward and de-
clare that the present automobile law in New Jer-
sey should be amended At a meeting held on
Monday night a law compelling all vehicles 70
carry lights was favored. 1t also agreed that
non-resdents OF the state should be welcome IN
New Jersey for certain period without having to
pay license. Many other states give such a
privilege to visitors and it contended that If
this privilege not inserted in the law visiting
motorists would shun New Jersey as much as
possible.
The evil of chauffeurs taking out their en-
ployer's without his consent was condemned in
strong terms, and the general sentiment was IN
favor of a severe law for such offence 1t has
been proved that such action is responsible for
many automobile accidents.
Following the example of the Newark Board Of
Trade, II is expected that the Elizabeth Board OF
Trade will take similar action at a meeting TO be
held Monday evening. A special committee will
submit a report recommending the need for legis-
lation which will open New Jersey to automobilsts
and not keep them out
