About Men

Professor Adolph Marquier is back
from his wedding trip. The first thing
he lie was to make a collection of
the signs announcing his wedding
which were stuck up by his friends In
the neighborhood of South Orange and
Sanford on the day he quiet
ly took unto himself a bride.

Charles A. Feick is one of those law
yers who does not figure much in the
public prints but whose name appears,
however. on more documents of public
import and private interest than hall
a dozen members of the local bar
whose names are familiar to the read
ers of newspapers. Mr.. Feick hasn't
been seen in any of the local courts
in many a month, and when his repre-
sentatives get busy with the bench II
is usually only in connection with some
real estate transaction that needs
equitable adjudication.
Detective John Drabell, of the Or
ange police force, enjoys a good meal
and every time he comes to Newark
on business hunts up a new place to
eat. The other day he was at the
Court House at noontime and asked
Constable Joe Ellis where he took his
lunch.

road where l get all ! want for II

That's just like you fellows. LooI

FEDERAL AID FOR DOCK IMPROVEMENT

n T is questionable whether our city can obtain any more aid from
The federal government in the development OF our harbor facll.
ties than appropriations for making a deep channel connec.
ton between the proposed ship canal and the Kill Won kull, but
efforts should be made to get the government to make the whole
bay waterfront available for use for docks and piers by dredging to
the bulkhead line. The communication by the federal engineers
to the mayor simply declares against federal aid Tor improvement
within the bulkhead or pier line. If the Newark bay is deepened
outside of this line in all its approaches to the Newark shore the
city NAV well bear the cost of excavation of the canal and hllng
IL the meadows with the excayated soil, and federal and local WORK
can 90 on coincdently. The soil dredged in the bay will serve as
filling for the meadows. Al the least the conclusions of the federal
engineers are great encouragement to Newark enterprise and Will
be a stimulant to those who have the great work in charge.

grandest that anyone has ever seen,
and it is TOO bad that the location was
not chosen better.
In the first place ! believe that
had the statue been placed on a base
at a higher level it would have been
more dignihed. In the present posi-
ton children easily climb or the states
mans knees. others sit in his lap and
get into all sorts of postures. This
should not be and | am opposed to it.
| am sure that had the statue been
placed on a base say about five foot
high II would have looked better, and
then, too, it would be easily seen by
passers-by in the cars and others in
vehicles. Probably it is, too late at
the present time to make any change,
but if Mr.. Borglum, the designer,
should make the suggestion to the
proper authorities it is possible that
a change would be made.

DO Your Duty.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
In reply TO the letter in the Rostrum
signed Justice" / would say that the
writer is right. The High School chill
dren ought not to be the only ones
spoken about as far as low c~arfare
rates are concerned. The working chill
dren should also be considered. Their
carfare rates should also be reduced.
] III admit that this is a point well
taken. The carfare rates of both
classes of children should be reduced
to three cents. There was a time when
the students and all school pupils had
the privilege Of paying three cents and
receiving as many transfers on differ
ent cars as We're needed. The Public
Service has cut out the extra transfers,
and now ii is abolishing the three
cent fare also. Again l wish to say
that Justice" is right. All children,
both working and school. whether it be
grammar school, High School or BUSH
ness school, ought to have the privi-
lege of half fares. Mr.. Justice" since
you are connected with the Public
Service, I suggest that you aid in get
ting reduced fares for the working
children and likewise the school chill
dren. Don't fail, Mr.. Justice. Do your
duty! ALICE /. SIKANAK.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Allow me to congratulate you on the
Independent and n~on-partisan spirit
shown in printing letters from all
sources, from every viewpoint, in your
columns. One of the letters | saw in
the Evening STAR recently attracted
my attention for many reasons l
wondered if you could serve your own
interests and still please your cores
pondent.
My sentiments on the matter are
Identical with those of your CORES
pondent. Like him / think there Is u
great deal of harm, filth and disease
lurking in every public telephone
transmitter of the v~ulcani2ed rubber
type. The hot breath of a speaker
upon the mouthpiece is still moist
when he leaves it. and dust flying
about the room settles on the instru-
ment. Carelessress or something let's
1t remain there.
In time the dust eats small holes
into the rubber, and these make ideal
vantage points for germs of every de-
scription. 1t is almost impossible to
clean them at this stage. With the
telephone transmltter in this condition
it is not very hard to imagine that the
persons putting their mouths close to
it are not going to benefit by the ex-
perience.
Your correspondent had noticed more
than / had, though. He saw a remedy,
which at the time I had not noticed
In hundreds Of doctors offices and
places where the value of sanitation is

printing that letter doubtless caused
the sudden popularity of the glass

stumbling block in the path of tho
busy little army of germs which in,

success you deserve, n thanking you

Superiority OF P%arochini schools.
To the Editor Of the Evening star:
Noticing Mondays evening issue OF
The STAR wherein the Rev. DIR. Cal

cations for admission to p%arochial
schools would be SO numerous that
schools of hat class would be unable
to accommodate the applicants. ! am
moved to reply to it. ! am in the
Lutheran ministry. Many Protestants
who read this assertion of the reverend
doctor will doubtless come to the con-
clusion that the statement is an e
~travagantly broad one.
Nevertheless, every intelligent person
particularly those of the n-Catholic
denominations, must admit this asser-
ton is so near the truth that it would
amount to prejudice to the con-
trarv. Observation of the growth of
these schools (parochial schools con-

The Catholic paroehial schools during

tons nave not had such long expert

of the statement. The question natu-

edge of their Maker from Whom all
things come. which training deeply
rooted the sense of righteousness into
the young and held 1t there. This
righteousness they carried with them
into their various walks of life and
manifested it and continue to do so.
9. The college graduate, as we see
him today, he who received his early
training in the p%arochial school, is far
above the same graduate whose early
education was obtained from goddess
institutions. This is particularly so in
the matter of morals and a reference
to the penal records will c%orroborate my
assertion.
When DR.. Callaghan made his asser-
ton he no doubt did so from the
knowledge he must have had of the
above or other facts, and l believe his
reference to "parochial' schools meant
all schools attached to all the creeds.

BmoNTHLY WAGES O RAILROAD MEN.

AGE pay every two weeks, instead of monthly, for railroad
wv employees in this State, which is now required by the law,
will be of benefit to the employees, while costing the rail
road companies a considerably increased expense in their book
keeping. Monthly pay for the wageearner creates the necessity for
the credit book, always an expensive feature of the domestic econ
envy. Those who make their purchases of necessaries on monthly
credits do SO at a disadvantage. Wages coming in in monthly lamps
are apt to be too freely expended. When the money for the wage
earners household is received every week or every two weeks a
better balance can be kept between income and outgo.
