Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual, and, exhibited in the lives of many. it constitutes the true source of national vigor and strength. Help from with out is often enfeebllng in its effects, but help from within invariably invig- crates. Whatever is done for men or classes to a certain extent takes away the stimulus and necessity of doing for themselves, and where men are sub jected to Overguidance and overgovern- ment the inevitable tendency is to ren- der them comparatively helpless.-Sa uel Smiles.

In making insurance maps certain features are considered essential. and the growth of the system has proved their wisdom and changed them only as regards the amount of detail that has been incorporated. Of first impor- tance were the colors to show the diff ferent materials used in the construc- tion of a building. Naturally red seemed a proper color to signify brick and yellow to signify wood. These colors have always been employed for these materials. Other colors have been added from time to time, thus blue for stone, gray for iron, etc.
 In fixing signs and characters for such details as stairways, fire escapes, dumb waiter shafts, etc., a principal object was to make them plain and distinct. They must be easily under stood by an underwater without ref erence to my key or marginal foot notes.
 This object has been carried out. with the result that when these insur- ance maps are examined by an insur- ance man today each sign or charac- ter has such an Individuality of it's own that it can be easily distinguished and is not confused with anOther.- CaSsier's Magazine.

BY TRADE BOARD
TO BUY SPEEDWAY
Committee Named to Cooperate
With Council and Find Out
What Can Be Done.

The purchase OF the speedway which
runs through Irington was again taken
up by the %Iryington Board of Trade
last night. A committee consisting of
Michael A. Dougher, Joseph I. Castles
and George Jennings was appointed to
act in cooperation with the Town Coun-
ellis legislative committee to find out
what can be done In the matter. The
members feel that the street is of no
benefit to the town at present.
The resolution advocating the streets
purchase, which was presented by
former Assemblyman George r. Scribe,
was laid IN the table at a previous
meeting. Mr., Scribe last night quoted
figures to show that the community,
while paying s100, 900 for the speedway,
would desire compensating benefits
which would neutralize the outlay.

ODD POSITION FOR
CITY COUNSEL IN
PENDING SUITS
East Orange Official Asks to Be
Relieved from PrOsecut-
ing Water Deals.

Because of confidential relations he
had with two parties suing East Or
ange on account of water deals at
White Oak Ridge, Borden D. Whiting,
the new city counsel of the city, last
night reported to the city council he
found himself in a peculiar position, as
he could hardly act for the city in
prosecuting the suits.
Suits have been in the courts for
some time brought by the Meeker
estate, Ward and Crosby" said Mr..
Whiting, "and previous to my appoint
ment as counsel for the city / acted as
attorney for the two latter parties.
[ received full information of their
strong and weak points, and while l
did not nave entirely full confidential
relations with the Meekers, I often
conferred with their attorney and knew
his points.
lowing to the confidential relations
| had with my client l believe IT
would be highly improper for me to
prosecute these cases for the city,
and l therefore submit the propriety to
the council of having another attorney
than myself to continue In the It'll
CATION for East Orange. l recommend
highly Jerome D. Gedney, former coun-
sci for the city, he being fully COM
petent to act. | must positively de-
cline to act for East Orange"
Councilman George A. Grover was
in favor of having Mr.. Gedney named,
but 1t was recalled the Water Commits
sion was In charge of the cases, ana ne
hesitated. Mr.. Whiting believed II
NOS nroper for the council TO name the
attorney, this action being taken when
Edward I. Collie was engaged as as
sociate Of Mr.. Gednesy. Mr.. Whiting
then drew the necessary resolution FOR
the employment of Mr.. Gedney. Mr..
Whiting, of course, will sever his con-
nection with his clients in the case
The resolution will be considered by
the Water Board at it's next meeting.

LIVELY SESSION
OF SCHOOL, BOARD
EXPECTED TONIGHT
Plan to Abandon West Orange
Building Opposed by
Citizens.

Lively doings are expected at an open
meeting Of the West Orange Board of
Education tonight when the plan to
dismantle st. Marks School in Valley
road will come up. G. Hewlett Davis,
former vice-president of the board, will
lead a body of citizens to oppose the
plan of the board. Mr.. Dav has writ
ten a spirited letter to County Superih-
tendent of Schools A. B. Meredith OPP
posing the plan. Mr.. Meredith has
backed up the board in its purpose to
condemn the structure. Mr.. Dayis's
letter, in part, was as follows:
THE abandonment of our st.
Marks School buildings is a matter
which has been discussed in public
meetings on three different occasions.
and by a majority vote on each occa-
sion the citizens negatiyed the propo-
sition and recommended that the
school board make all repairs and al
terations necessary to render the build
ings adequate for school purposes. Had
these recommendations, as voiced by
the citizens, been carried out by the
board, no excuse or reason would eX-
list for the board again attempting to
force its desires against the oft TX
pressed will of the people.
II served several years as a member
of the Board of Education of West
Orange. a part of the time as its vice
president. In my official capacity. as
well as in that of a private citizen,
have made a great man personal in.
spections of the structural features OF
the two st. Marks buildings. I have
had architectural experience N have
/ constructed and remodeled many
buildings"
Mr.. Davis goes on to say that with
an expenditure of a very small amount
of money that the school buildings can
be made safe. He points out that the
CASTOR Street School needs to be
propped up. He hints that other mo-
tives prompt the board to abandon tht
building, and concludes:
you will remember that the board
based its prior cries for abandonment
principally upon the near presence tc
ST. Marks, of a certain saloon, but
as a final result of the last public meet
ing. and action by the teachers of 81
Marks and the honorable Town Coun.
ell, the saloon was abolished instead
of the school. Admittedly, If the schoo
be abandoned the saloon question opens
up again."
