OPPOSE SCHEME
To STEAL RIGHTS
Of LAND OWNERS
Opponents to Military Park
Loop Bill Fight Against Trade
Boards Endorsement.

Opposition to the MCGOWAN trolley
loop bill was made at the meeting Of
the Board of Trade last night. The
bill, Assembly No. $40, takes away
property owners rights.
1t gives the Board of Works power
to authorize without the consent of
property owners the construction of
trolley spurs and loops to connect
existing lines or make detours around
them, providing the loops are not more
than half a mile in length.
The bill is a replica of the Lee meas
ure of last year, which met its doom
because of the provision that robbed
the property owners of their rights.
There was considerable discussion
on the bill, and by a divided vote the
board Endorsed 1t. Former United
States Senator James Smith, jr., Charl-
ton McCurdy and Richard C. Jenkin-
son spoke against the bill. while La
throp Anderson, James w. Howard
and Lee Ottolengui argued in favor Of
1t.
IndOrse Home-Rule Bill.
The home rule bill now pending in
the Legislature was also indorsed. 1t
provides thai the boards of finance in
every municipality shall fix the salaries
of all municipal employees.
The board also endorsed Assembly
474, which fixes a maximum rate of
tolls upon property passing over the
Delaware and Raritan Canal between
Bordentown and New Brunswick and
exempts canal boats or vessels from
the payment of any toll.
The bill prohibiting female employees
from working after 10 o'clock at night
and before Z o'clock in the morning
and limiting the number of hours of
employment to ten a day n sixty a
week was not Endorsed on the ground
that it would legislate many women
out of employment.
A resolution was adopted indorsing
the bill prohibiting the use of auto
matte and pump guns in hunting.

queen Of Spain, said to be worth s22,-
900.
The statement often made that vio-
lin making is a lost art and that no
modern maker can produce vioIins
equal to those of the old masters, has
been proved absolutely erroneous by
tests made in America during the past
two years In New York last year one
of the greatest violinists of the world
was unable to detect the differences
IN tone between a rare Stradivarius
and an instrument valued at $50 that
had been made in America less than
three years ago. Violin making re-
quires an attention to small details
which Americans find tedious But
there is no reason why they should not
be mastered, and they have been. ITO
say that good violins are not being
manufactured now would be to say that
we are not making progress" said
well known manufacturer at a recent
convention And I do not believe any
American is willing to admit that we
are retrograding. A perfectly toned
violin can be produced by giving scien-
ttfic exactness to every detail of wood
varnish and string, and we are doing
it Each year there are thousands of
American violins made which are fully
equal to the finest antiques in exist
ence and superior to most Of them"
Many limitations of Old vioIsns.
The high prices which have been
paid for a few old violins led to the
making of many fraudulent limitations
Quite recently a prominent business
man in the middle west became the
proud possessor Of what he believed to
be a very valuable old violin He
wanted an experts opinion upon it.
He was unwilling to trust it even IN
the hands of the expert, but sent it to
be deposited in national bank in New
York city. There the expert, in the
presence of the president Of the bank
and three other witnesses, was per-
mitted to examine the violin and de-
eide that it was really a very poor
modern instrument not worth SO. For
this information the western man paid
$50
Americans have lately been giving
much attention to tone-testing as ap-
piled to stringed Instruments In John
Hopkins university some experiments
are being made in measuring the fun
damental tone in its various portions
which go to make up musical sound.
An appartus consisting Of 100 resona-
tors has been devised for analyzing
tone effects. These experiments may
lead in time to determining the value
Of stringed instruments by their tones.
Instruments submitted to test will have
a record of their exact vibratory char

One OF the newer stringed musical
efforts Of the country is the revival

Much Of the music used by the rural
fiddlers had become obsolete, but IT IS
now being carefully collected and pub

EFT KNOW what the riddle Of the
Sphinx is. Is her pocket
- book" said ne fourth man,
the real thing about woman, that no
man ever gets a line on, is the way
she spends her money, and her theory
of economy.
"A mans idea of thrift is to do
without the things he wants and put
the money in the bank. A woman's
idea Of thrift is to do without the
things she wants and spend her money
for something she doesn't want, be-
cause 1t happens to be cheap A wo-
man never feels so much as If she
would be secretary Of the treasury, if
she had her just deserts. as when she
buys carrots, which her family won't
eat for dinner, instead of potatoes,
which they will eat, because carrots
are cents cheaper than potatoes.
80 far as 1 have been able to COM
prehend this cryptic matter at all.
woman's theory of economy is based
on the bargain counter. You must al
ways spend your money on something
that has been marked down from 81
to 90 cents II you do that, you are
a pattern of thrift, and whether you
needed the thing. whether it Is suit
able. or Of good quality, are imma-
terial matters with which you DO not
need to concern yourself.
In Awe OF Real Money.
ALSO. have discovered that checks
and bills women hold in contempt and
deal gayly and frivolously with, but
the real mazuma fills them with a
sort Of superstitious fear and awe;
and they salaam before it, and part
with it with reluctance. A woman
will spend twice as much If she has
things charged, or pays for them with
checks, as she will If she has to dig
down into her pocketbook and fish
out the good money every time.

Nothing would do her but she must

told her I would send the money up
from my office and she could go and
buy it.
We'll. I sent around to the bank and
had a check for $500 cashed in large
round silver dollars. It took two boys

of $4,000 miles. and everywhere has
faced the deplorable disposition Of
young men to get away from their

they are subject to difficulties and

How many delightful hresides and

The little book performed miracle;
Zoska listened to the very end ana
all night she thought Of the servant
who became a saint because OF her
virtues. Zoska pondered. Was she
not, too, poor servant girl? But
what had she done to acquire eternal
happiness? Not a thing. 1t was to
be different from now on
Zoska made rapid progress. OF all
virtues charity was the one which at

day she saw signs of heavenly grace
She leaned against the door OF the
church and it opened. Zoska knew
what such a thing meant and was al
most angry with her master, who sug-
gested that the lock was probably out
of order.
One day she was brushing costly

brushed, sighed and prayed. A bell

she cried, and ran back into the
kitchen.
For two hours zOska was in a state
OF exalted delight. A miracle was
about to happen. Tt would have been
a sin to doubt this. But suddenly she
received a terrible blow.

her master was going to Sontch' next
and would not let her suffer.
The angel would surely come, perhaps

When everybody was in bed, zoska
left the house and walked down the
path leading to the road It had been
showing all day. everything was
white, trees and fields.
Zoska kneeled and prayed. She is
waiting for the angel who is to appear
