TRUNK sEWER OPPONENTS LAST CARD.

7HHE last card is being played by private interests against the
Passaic Sewerage Commission plans for seNering the passac
valley. 1t was brought out last week al Il meeting OF
Iassaic Council. and at a moment when the council was about TO
authorize a contract with the commission. A company controlling a
foreign patented process for local disposal of sewage hired the
commissions former consulting engineer, who, 1t appears, readily
undertook to queer his old job by inducing municipalities TO with
draw their cooperation and invest in his employers patented
process. The only recommendation the process could have IN the
passaic valley would be this engineers favorable opinion. and that
reason seems to have Influenced the companys selection of an
engineer But there ar men and influences in IA number OF munich
palties in the Passac valley eager enough to adopt any PROPOSE
ton that is hostile to the project of a trunk sewer and they caught
at this one, unmindful of the various other local disposal enter
prises that we're urged upon the commission and its consulting
engineer and by them turned down as worthless. The long story
of the efforts TO clean the polluted Passaic is not an edifyng one.
The trunk sewer may be longer delayed, but it will finally be built
despite the narrow selfshness, the intrigues to make private gain,
the treachery and ineptitude that the sewerage commission has
encountered at every step. Y

ELL TO GREAT BATTLES n I'll AIR.

TT r is well enough known that the great interest that governments
in Europe take in the development of aviation has reference to
probable wars in the near future. The first success of Count
Zeppelin in his great dirigible was instantly hailed as a military one.
Germany had produced a machine capable of overcoming the sea
barriers of England and putting the British navy out of com
mission. France took to the heayierthanair machine and has
increasingly strven to develop it. The aeroplane has become iden
titled with the French army and the organized efforts of French
citizens in promotion of aviation are, i'll their motive, patriotic.
The flight of a French aviator from Paris to Madrid was a great
step in advance. as will be the result of the competition in the race
from Paris to Rome and Turin. When again France becomes
involved in war she will have fleets of airships, manned by skilled
pilots, and unless other nations shall catch up with her she will
have every advantage in aerial warfare. What the world is wit
Messing today in these spectacular aeroplane races is only a prelude
Of an era of battles in the air, the most thrilling in the worlds
history. E4

70 The Editor Of the Evening Star:
Somebody recently suggested the con-
tlnuing of our public schools the whole
year without the customary intermis-
sion of two months. The State Boari
of Education is said to be seriously
considering the movement and the
writer would like to voice the opinion
of several parents and himself on the
subject in the Evening STARS Ros-
trum columns.
This proposition is impracticable and.
if attempted, would probably prove Il
waste Of money, for the parents Of
school children would undoubtedly keep
their children away from school during
the customary vacation months. Should
the parents be persuaded to send their
children to school during those mid
summer months, the project would take
on a different aspect.
After ten months Of plodding, the
youngsters need the rest and relief from
study. a principal in one of our largest
public schools of Newark recently de-
clared that he also believed the whole
yea term would not and should not
become a reality. 1T would not be just
to the children he said. why, when
they come back from their vacations,
even if they have only been romping
the streets, they show the improve
ment in their physical makeup. II this
were taken from them, ] think the cor
inuous grind would result in stuntinc
our children both mentally and physi-
cally."
That is the opinion Of a man who
has been in contact with children tor
years. knows them. loves them and
would consider their interest before
anything else, If the whole year
term would be beneficial he and
scores Of others would readily say so.
Do not let the State Board Of Education
make this foolish mistake.
