To Take Out Grease.

Dear Miss Doom:
a you please tell me how to re-
move a grease spot from a red serge
dress? I have tried carbona, benzine
and vinegar cloth, but without success.
Yours, M. NJ.
AS o have tried so many things it
will be rather difficult to get the grease
spot out now. To remove a grease
spot, the very best thing is to lay a
piece of blotting paper over the spot
and put a hot iron on the blotting pa
per. The heat Of the iron draws the
grease out Of the material Into the
blotting paper. The heat Of the iron
draws the grease out of the material
into the plotting paper, which alb
serbs it.

storm was beating softly against the
windowpane. Close Il the lighted glass
was pressed a mans face. He caught
a flashing glimpse of a pair of eyes
staring in at them. of a thick, wild
beared whitened by the snow. He knew
the face. When life seemed slipping
out of his throat he had looked up into
it that night of the ambush on the
Great North Trail. There was the n

words bravery and courage, and what
Is it? Please answer soon, and oblige,

Bravery is Unborn and instructive.
Courage is the product of reason. Men

19 HE mobilization of United States troops on the Mexican border
is intended to cut off flibustering expeditions from United
States soil against a friendly power, prevent complications
with European governments and to be prepared for any possible
emergency that may arise. That is the simple explanation Of the
action taken by our government. AS usual in such cases rum0r
and newspaper exaggeration have distorted the purposes of the
government. All kinds of stories are given currency and every day
brings a new fabrication. These falsehoods are cabled to European
newspapers and are credited. But there is no law against lying in
such cases. and il will be kept up to the end as long as the present
situation exists. The American public, however, is used to this
exaggeraton and takes little stock in the stories put forth. The
American people know Mr.. Taft as a man of peace and golf and
they are satisfied that he would no more harbOr a thought of sending
an army into Mexico than he would of sending an army into Canada,
even if there was some provocNtOn for a colorado excuse for such
an act. Every reflective man must see that there was reason enough
to mass an army on the Texan border. The frontier is a long one.
difficult to guard, and the guard that has been maintained could not
prevent the invasion OF Mexico by insurgent bands and American
Adventures with arms and supplies at many points. It will take
$4,000 men to police the border. 1t is not our business to interfere
in the struggle in Mexico, but ii is our business to prevent Ameri.
can soil from being made a base of supplies and a depot for re-
cruits. 1t is also our business under the Monroe Doctrine to make
sure that no ofense is given TO Justify hostile action against Mexico
by a European power. That is our chief concern.

MONDAY EvEN1N c. MARCH 49, 1911.


NV EWARK has grown in spirit as well as in substance in the
AM last twenty-five years. 1t has thrown IF the shackles of the
village spirit tlat have been dominant in its affairs and in
its methods of business and become one of the most progressive
cities in the United States. The old spirit obstinately fought street
improvement and the new water supply and other large improve
ments, and with every defeat and discontinue ii has grown weaker.
If that spirit had prevailed we would have today no Pequannock
water supply, no system of improved streets, no City Hospital, no
county park system, no Public Library and the county insane ay-
lum would still be the old wooden barracks in Camden street. The
old City Hall would still stand, a concrete expression of the village
spirit. Newark would be a village i'll the year of our Lord 1911. At
the same time business interests in Newark would be conducted on
the same old unprogressiye lines and in the same dingy shops. But
this reactionary spirit is now reduced TO a feeble protest. 1t would,
if it could, put an end to municipal meadow development and dock
improvement. 1t is the old cry so familiar years ago, when village
craftsmanship was in the ascendant: Why spend money at the risk
of a higher tax rate? Why make Improvements that our fathers
never thought of making? Why incur debt for the taxpayer to pay?
Public enterprise is public extravaganza. We are we'll enough off
us we are. But the last village generation has mostly died off, and
what remains of it has no influence or weight in shaping the desti
MES of our city. The present generation believes in progress, and
one of its legacies to future generations will be a fully developed
meadow and a dock system, making Newark one of the principal
seaports of the Atlantic coast.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
One of the writer's to your "Rostrum''
column said the other day that the
saloon business should be put on the
same competitive basis as every other
business.
He seems to think that because il is
legalized it should be a free-and-open,
all-around business for anybody but
ex-convicts to run. But the very fact
that it is necessary to license the
business shows that it is in a class by
itself.
1t should not be restricted only, but,
If I had my way, every saloon in the

Defends the stnge.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In the current issue Of a weekly
magazine William Winter, the we'll
known dramatic critic, writes of the
stage, and discusses the moral and edu-
cational influence of the theatre. He
says that the stage is educational and
defends the people in the profession
from the adverse criticism of narrow
minded persons. Mr.. Winter is of the
belief that actors and actresses are as
moral as the members of any other
profession, but that because the press
make a target of stage folk we hear Of
their escapades more often than we do
Of the doings of the clergy or other
public people.
In his defense of the character of the
personnel of the profession Mr.. Winter
is consistent and logical, but when he
says that the stage is educational, and
then adds that problem plays and
plays dealing with the social evils
should not be produced he is inconsist-
ent. Mr.. Winter would put the ban
on such plays as The Easiest Way"
and others of its kind on the ground
that the theatre is not a dissecting
room and the audience not students of
sociology.
Here the venerable writer is mis-
taken; although the audience is
mixed" and is composed of the youth
OF 10Th sexes there is still a large
enough portion left who are students
Of sociology. and who do find It an
