LXn. QUALITY (c0NTINUED).

If a single island of even small size
is deleterious you may easily imagine
what a demoralizing effect an unin
terrupted series of islands must nave
upon a line. Such a formation is called
a chain and the line affected by 1t a
chained line, and constitutes the tenth
and last Of the defects that lines ARE
heir to-"
When you see a line of this descrip-
ton you may at ono conclude that its
owner is wanting in all that makes
for success in the qualities that the
line In question stands for. II all the
lines In a hand are chained they spell
inevitable and rarely ever remediable
failure. For the chains are like so
many crosses along the line. each link
being an almost .insurmountable bar
rier to the progress of the current Of
energy which tries to force its way over
the obstacles and is constantly re-
tarded.
You can form q correct picture OF
what must be the result of this IL you
compare 1t with a stream In which
great deposits of sand and soil have
erected bars. Tho waters are forced
from their natural channel and are
bound to overflow and lose their char
acter as a stream.
So likewise with the energies that
move along the chained line. They be-
come disintegrated and scatter. and
the result is that the person with that
sort Of lines is wanting In character
as well as health and is at best a sorry
figure.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
II seems to me that President Lau-
renee It. Fell, president of the Essex
County Tax Board, is deserving of great
credit for the stand he has taken In
notifying the tax assessors that certain
of their valuations must be Increased.
According to your paper, he summoned
to his of1ce several OF the assessors and
notified them that certain lands OF
Freebooter Amos w. Harrison and OF
former United States Senator Kean are
not properly assessed. The former, it
was stated, was getting his cheap
while the latter was paying more than
his share.
This attitude. 1t seems, means a great
deal. Can 1t be that there is partially

MEXICAN KILLINGS ACROSS II BORDER.

q ENATOR STONE, of Missouri; was somewhat Incorporate in
his remarks in the Senate yesterday excoriatlng the govern
ment for its inaction while American citizens were being
shot down on American soil by Mexican federals and insurrectos.
But, nevertheless, the feeling expressed by the senator is a rising
one among the people of the United States. If England, France
or Germany existed on this side of the Mexican border not a shot
would be fired across, and if a stray Mexican bullet did wound or
kill there would be prompt and decisive action. Is there any merit
in tolerance by "A government of acts by the foreigner that make
American soil unsafe for Americans? Are not the soil of Texas
and the borders of the country as sacred as the soil of the national
capital?

THE ARTISTIC NORTH JERSEY SUBURB.

XIV EW ideas in the laying out of suburban places may be obtained
AN in Europe. There is too much uniformity of plan in the
suburbs of this State. Large sections of Northern New
Jersey are being opened for new suburban communities, and in a
few years the Orange mountains will be dotted with them. Flee
trical rapid transit will be the great stimulant of this enterprise.
A study OF the beautiful suburbs of some European cities will fur.
nih suggestions that if carried out will make the Orange noun
tains the Mecca of homeseekers from the cities. A notable example
is a new garden city" begun two years ago as a suburb of Dresden,
Saxony, and covering 345 acres. A suburb laid out with good land
scape effects, with artistic houses, well grouped and with all the
modern conveniences, will be a profitable investment for a land
company. There are fortunes to be made in the residential develop
ment of Northern New Jersey, and the quickest and best results
will be achieved by those who have the knowledge how to build
attractive dwelling places.

Trust Probe a 81. Anthony's ermon
To the Editor of the Evening star:
One of the pleasant things to note in
the reading Of the newspapers of today
is that the sugar trust is to be investi-
gated by a congressional committee.
That's very fine-I mean the prospect
of investigation, and not the sugar
but (and there is always as"but") why
will Congress butt in" just now?
I may be innocent, very innocent, per-
haps, of these little games played on
this 'checker-board of nights and
days." as my Persian friend, Omar
Khayyam says, but it strikes me that
Congress is somewhat late in getting on
the band-wagon. l thought | read
something during h strenuous admin

STATE INSURANCE FOR THE T0HER.

TNGLAND'S proposed new law for the insurance of wage
IL earners for sickness and unemployment is to supplement
the existing law for insurance for old age, which involves
an annual charge Of $650 100000 upon the public treasury. The new
law, it is estimated, will cost the British taxpayer about $27,00000O
annually. The cost will decrease after the law is in operation for
a few years. Germany has similar worknen's insurance laws. The
system was begun in Germany in 1905 and since then the benefits
paid for sickness have amounted to upward of $69sy 0o0, 900. This
amount does not include the payments for old age or accidents and
for pensions. The new insurance plan for England contains one
feature not belonging to the German system, namely, insurance for
unemployment, and this will be practicable because there is now
in operation a system of labor exchanges, which will furnish a
means of testing an unemployed workmanis willingness to work.
The establishment of State industrial insurance in Germany ere,
atd no desire in the United States to initiate it, nor was much
notice taken Of old age insurance in England. The American idea
has been that these countries. with their underpaid labor and
labor discomfort, needed this help to the laborer. But stateNsocial-
SIN is now making progress in the United States. too

tt INCREASED rates OF fare for school children and charity workers
on the steam railroads are now suspended by the Public Utii
ties Commission pending a decision as to what the new public
utilities law can be construed to permit. The case of the steam
railroads will, of course, be settled by the decision of the Supreme
Court in the suit by the Public Service Corporation in the Supreme
Court. The commissioners action does not refer to elergymen, who
have also been favored with reduced rates of fare. But how the
new law can be interpreted to permit that which it explicitly for
bids, namely, any kind of discrimination in the rates of fare. passes

THE ANNUAL SCHOOL BUDGET.

NV EXT years school budget for Newark, now being constructed
AM by the Board of Education, will foot up about So, 100000
an increase of $685. 900 over the budget for the present
school year. The Board of Education is so careful and conserva-
tive in its estimates that it's figures are not seriously questioned.
This year the item of teachers salaries is $~1,659357. Next year
the total will be 81 ,S30,552. This is inclusive of the salaries of the
principal and staff of the new high school. But the ever increasing
cost of education does not cause the concern it formerly did. The
public is getting the worth of its money.

Commends Pastor Who Become Actor.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
In an item in the STAR / see the
statement of q man who quits the
church to go on the stage. Whether
his choice be a wise one or not one can
but admire the mans courage and
honesty of purpose. If every man left
the profession he Is in because he is
honestly OF the opinion that he Is not
fitted for It we would have a much
higher standard of efficiency In all pro-
LESSONS.
Many persons get into a groove IN
their professions. They realize It them
selves. but have not the courage Or
honesty to get out of 1t. They give
themselves different excuses, Il am
too old" or, II do my work as well as
the average. even ii it is mediocre"
and so on.
These men do not realize that the
amount Of satisfaction they would get
out Of a work which they enjoy would
easily make UP for any difference In
income at the beginning.
With most Of US our opportunities
are too limited to choose wisely In ref
erenoe to our iife-work. We find out
what We are good for when we think
it is too late" But it is never too
late to give up work that is distaste-
ful and DO that which we think we are
best fitted for.

vaccination an Operation

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
There seems to be O probable con-
tinuation OF the characterization prop
uganda through the orders Of the Or
anse School Board and the condition
of the young man who has an added
infection at the M~ountainside Hos
pital.
The one particular thing which
causes vaccination troubles is cross
infection. Vaccination in itself Is moi
the deadly thing some would have
us believe. 1t is THE, injection that
carelessness and ignorance r adding
that Is claiming the deadly toll that Is
the cost of Inc still bteneficent freedom
from smallpox.
The operation for vaccination is re-
garded too lightly. In the first place
it Is a surgical operation, and the fear
full things that we find creeping In
shows that it is one of no mean i'm
portanee.
The crudest practitioner can usually
perform an antiseptic operation be-
aus he car drench the part operated
upon with his solutions and kill any
leftover bacteria he may have on in
struments or hands before he makes q
planting in the wound.
Only the most skilled surgeons car,
maintain a high percentage of recov-
cry In what is known as aseptic opera
tons. These are operations in which
infection Is avoided, not by killing al
possible germs in the planting. but by
SO preparing surroundings, hands and
instruments that an injecting germ
may never come neal the location OPP
Grated upon.
In the operation for vaccination q
still insist on the term) the situation
is more complicated than either of the
above in that a single organism and
only that organism, the living virus
must be introduced.
So the man with the dirty. OF
the ma with the antiseptic instru-
ments, is bound TO cause trouble-ont
may add infection, the other kills tbs
virus along with all other germs.
In conclusion, then, the operator
should be one who knows enough Of
his virus to be sure that 1t Is bacte-
riologically correct, and one sufficiently
skilled in surgery to know when he has
except for his virus, attained absolute
Is aseptic conditions. Very truly,
