NO FIGUpHs OR ESTIMATES OF THE CENSUS.

~ DISPATCH to the STAR from Washington states that the re-
Nv turns from the census enumerators have not been received
by the bureau, and, therefore, it is not possible TO give any
abatement or make any estimate of the population in any State or
municipality. Several weeks must eapse before any final count
will be made. Faxed estimates, purporting to have been sent from
Washington, should, therefore, be taken for what they are worth.

There will be an abundant crop of
Strawberries in South Jersey, and the
supply will begin coming in next week.
Prices ought to be reasonable and the
strawberry box an honest one. Regular
dealers can be relied on in that respect,
but beware the peddler. A trick of the
peddler is to raise the bottoms of the
boxes so as to reduce it's capacity. The
chaser examines the bottom m finds it
is raised above the sides. Cheating by
measure is against the law. Peddlers
and others who sell berries in such
boxes should be handed right over to
the police,

The old familiar signs, Keep off the
Grass" are disappearing from public
parks. They disappeared some time
6 from Newark's parks. Mayor Gay
nor has just ordered their removal from
thirty parks in New York. The parks
are no longer considered merely features
of a city landscape or well-kept lawns
for adjoining residences. They are
children's Fairgrounds. And what is a
park to children If they are forbidden
to venture upon the grass? In our
grandmothers' days the home parlor
was reserved for visitors and special
occasions, and at other times the chill
were locked out. That rule doesn't
prevail now. Civilization is asserting
itself in these and various other ways.

There is a dearth of operatives in the
clothing factories in South Jersey. OF
thirty factories more than one-half are
short of labor and are working with
half or quarter force. Eight factories
have shut down. The same conditions
exist in the glass and cutlery factories.
The Egg Harbor Board of Trade is sit
ting up nights trying to work u a
scheme to attract labor to the fac
tories. All this time there is a~-plenty
of idle labor in the large cities. Is it
not a stupidity governed State that
makes no note of such conditions and is
incapable of the enterprise of estab-
fishing a system of labor exchanges to
transfer idle labor in the large centres
of population to the factories and farms
of the rural sections?

ROADS IN CHINA.
They Are Narrow and Crooked and
Edqed With bitches.

They Are Narrow and Crooked and
Edged With bitches.
The Chinese road is private prop
erty, strip taken from somebody's
land. This is done much against the
will Of the owner, since he not only
loses the use of it, but also still has to
pay taxes on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. As the surface wears
away and the dust blows of it gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile it
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows it
out. and thus has arisen the proverb
that road thousand years old be-
comes a river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge Of their
farms instead Of cutting across them,
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often so crooked
that one may have to 60 considerable
distance to reach place that is in re-
atty but few miles away. This al
ways interests the stranger.

his Office. he can dictate his core
spondence to his stenographer in all
other part Of the building. This can
be accomplished without talking d.
rectly into the machine or coming in
contact with it in any way, the speak
er often being twenty or thirty feet
distant from the instrument.
The inventor has arranged to install
it in several of the large hotels Of
New York and other cities for the pur-
pose Of paging guests in various parts
Of the building. He is also planning
to introduce it generally into the rooms
Of several hotels in the theater district
Of New York, so as to enable the
guests to be entertained by music from
adjacent playhouses in which comic
operas are being produced.
Valuable In Time Of War.
Another important application Of the
wonderful invention to which it will
be adapted in the spring, for which
arrangements are now under way,
will be as an adjunct Of the United
States signal corps in important mill
tary maneuvers. A photograph Sc
creted in bush or tree alongside of
the road will enable the army using it
to determine the approximate size Of
a marching force by fixing the time it
takes to pass a given point When
placed at the fork Of road it will
also help in determining the direction
Of the enemy's movement.
In this connection it will prove in
valuable, military experts believe, in
time of war. Inventor Turner says
that if Napoleon could have had the
invention as an auxiliary Of his army
the disaster at Waterloo would have
been averted and Bluch hers delay in
joining him discounted in advance.
AS soon as he returns from his visit
to King Victor Emmanuel Mr.. Turner
intends to take up the question of in
stalling the instrument in the execu-
tive Offices at Washington, so that
President Taft, seated at his desk,
may hear the debates in the senate
and house Of representatives and thus
keep in touch with every development
Of the legislation in which he is inter-
ested.
he has in mind also similar install
lation in several of the state capitols
for the use Of the executive who de-
sires to have up to the minute infor-
nation concerning the activities of the
state legislatures.

remote part of any building with which
1t is equipped. In this connection it is
now used by one Of the best known
tinanciers of the world in his office in
Wall street. New York. The dia-

Is concealed in an ink we'll which is
secretly connected with wire that
carries the conversation between the
financier and his callers to a distant
room where a stenographer at re-

notebook unknown to the visitor.
Thus the financier has a faithful rec
ord Of everything said by himself and
his caller respecting the great financial
deals that daily engage his attention.
In similar way the invention is be-
ing employed by Chief Wilkie Of the
secret service and by the presidents of
many of the largest banks and trust
companies in the country and abroad.
Another unique feature Of the in

a business man using it to dispense

WOMAN OBTAINS LIQUOR
AND ARRESTS GROCER
Defense Is That Whisky Was
Bought at Saloon

Madeline Darcy, the detective. ap-
peared as chief witness against Charles
Folletta, on trial before Judge Short
all yesterday for selling liquor with
out a. license, and woman's wiles were
again the cause of a strong mans
downfall
FoHetta conducts a grocery at 34S9
Mission street. Miss Darcy was de-
tailed to ascertain If he was violating
the liquor license laws, so she rented
a room in the neighborhood and got
acquainted with Folletta. One day
she asked Folletta to fill a flask with
whisky for her. but Folletta was wary
and advised her to take beer. The
woman objected, so Folletta weakened
and\promised to see that the flask was
filled. Miss Darcy called later and was
handed the filled flask. The arrest
followsd
That's what you get for trying to
accommodate a pretty and appealing
woman" explained Folletta. ct told
Billy Thomas, a friend of mine, that
pretty woman wanted the flask filled
and he ran all the~way TO a saloon
and back when 1 promised I would in
troduce him. But L never had a chance
as I was arrested when I handed her
the flask"
The case was continued until Sat
urday to allow Folletta to produce wit
nesses to show that he purchased the
whisky outside his own store.
