PEACE DAY
Pledge to Expend Savings to Promote
 the Cause.

The fear of war is consuming the homes of the rural and village popu- lations of Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States in a single generation, according to bull letin on the school observance of Peace Day. which is soon to be is sued for free distribution by the Un:- ted States Bureau of Education.
 In discussing the cost of war, the bulletin says in part:
 War debt began. with the nine- teenth century. Not until the estab- lishment of constitutional government had nations any credit in the world of finance. The bond of a king was notoriously bad security. Since 1900 the war debts of the nations have grown by leaps and bounds. That of Europe as a whole amounts to more than $26 GOO, ,000, 900, bearing interest at the rate of $1,150. .000,000 per year. All these endless caravans of ciphers' represent sums which have never been paid, will never be paid, can never be paid. so long as the present system of national armament goes on. For practically the entire amounts now raised by taxation in civilized nations go into the support of armies and na- vies The United States, in splendid Isolation from old entanglements. without an enemy in the world, and bound by ties of blood and commerce to all civilized nations, spends 73 per cent of her income in this way. The eivil, or non-military, expenditures of Europe are so small as to be negligi- ble
 "At the present rate of expenditure the four countries of Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States will spend in the next 40 years, The life of one generation. for the support of armies and navies an amount sufficient to build twenty mill lion country and village houses at an average cost of two thousand five hundred dollars each. With father, mother and four children in each of for one hundred and twenty millions tal present population of these four open country. Thus the fear of war and village population of these great nations in a single generation.
 sIt is estimated that the total di- rect cost of the armies and navies of the world each year in time of peace is two and one-half billion dol lars, which equals the total valua- lion of the wheat and corn crops of The whole of the United States"
 The Bureau of Education's bulletin which Is entitled Peace Day." con- iains suggestions and material for the observance in the public schools of khe occasions, which comes on May IS. The bulletin was compiled and in part written by Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews Secretary of the American School Peace League.

ANYTHING TO
 DEFEAT WILSON
No Move Too UnscrupuIous For
 His Opponents.
PLOT TO PARCEL STATES

Supporters of Underwood, Clark and
 Harmon Divide tho Union to Suit Turn Back Tide Setting In Favor of Now Jersey Governor.
 [Newark (N. J.) Evening News.I The charge made by friends of Woodrow Wilson that there is com bination on the part of the supporters of Clark. Underwood and Harmon to defeat the New Jersey governor at the Baltimore convention has substantial evidence to confirm it.
 It is charged that the states have been apportioned among the three can didates. Clark is to make the fight in Iowa, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Kentucky. Oklahoma, Kansas, California. New Jersey and Illinois; Underwood in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina. South Carolina. Mississippi and Lou isiana, and Harmon in Texas, New York, Delaware. the New England states, Pennsylvania, Ohio and adja- cent states.
 Harmon instead of Clark would have been chosen to lead the fight in New Jersey had he not refused to run in the home state of any other candidate. The primaries in Kansas and Okla homa have already been held. and in both the contestants were Clark and Wilson. In Illinois only Clark peti- tions have been filed In opposition to Wilson. In Florida the name of liar mon has been withdrawn. and news papers that were supporting him have didate. Tn Wisconsin, where Harmol was supposed to be strong. his nams has been withdrawn in favor of Clark This may not be absolutely conclu sfve evidence of an understanding among the three candidates named, but 1t is pretty strong evidence. While such a combination of forces can hardly be considered fair play. it is characteristic of the influences that are opposed to the nomination of Gov ernor Wilson. They care little who the candidate is so that it is not Will son, and they are ready to adopt any methods that will assist in bringing about his defeat
 It is not necessary to assume that Messrs. Clark, Harmon and Under wood are parties to what looks 90 much like a deliberate conspiracy. In this fight for the presidential nomina- ton, they are little more than lay fg- ures manipulated by powerful. but un- seen. forces. Their putative managers are merely dummy directors, so to speak. who probably do not realize themselves that they are being used as catspaws for interests that see in the election of Woodrow Wilson a menace to their selfish and undemocratic pur- poses.
 That it should be necessary to make such combine as is alleged is con- fession of Governor Wilson's strength. If he shall be- nominated it will be the greatest victory over the allied forces of machine politics and privileg- ed business ever achieved by a presi- dential candidate. for even William J. Bryan has always had the party ma chine with him, except in 1896. when his nomination was brought about by , accident.

Studer.t5 Of B. H. s.
 And Their Doings

There was a meeting of the Junior Class yesterday after school, in Room il. It was voted to hold the class day exercises on Friday, June IA. It was also decided to hold class dance in the evening to which outside cou- Schack was elected to fill the office of sergeant-at-arms.
 The April Criterion was out yester- day and, as usual, there was a large sale of cipes. The cuts drawn for the paper by Fordham "A Commercial are exceptionally good. The after noon classes may take pride in hav- ing an artist of such ability.
 The girls of the Senior cooking classes yesterday learned how to bake nut, sponge, layer and marble cake. Those of the boys who were lucky 1t was fine. After baking the cake the girls have to wash all the dishes and pans which they have used.
 The members of B. H. S. baseball team leave on the 9:30 train tomor- row morning for Waterbury. there to play the team of the Taft school. Taft school has a very strong team this year and the local boys will have to work hard to defeat them.
 Helen Weiss, '13 Commercial, was the winner of the spelling bee held by the Junior Commercial fourth per iod Literary Club, last Wednesday af- ternoon. It is a great deal to ones credit to be able to outspell the rest of the members of the class.
 Because of the fine collection of voices in the Junior Commercial class, it's members are thinking of forming a glee club Action should be taken at once if they are to become devel- oped in time for the Junior Class Day ex ercises.
 Nice days are coming and nice days are going, but still the students have no recess. recess was promised long ago and their patience is about at an end. If the students have to wait much longer, influence will be brought to bear on members of the school faculty.

WHERE CONGRESS LAds IN DUTY.

m ONGRESS promised to amend the patent law which, by a
" Supreme Court decision, gives to the patentee the ex-
elusive right to furnish to the user of a patented article
every article appertaining to- it or used by or for it. Thus for
u patented stove the patentee would have the monopoly of the
sale of the fuel burned in it and the food to be cooked in it.
But Congress has done nothing. A House committee has held
hearings on a bill and that is as far as it has gone. The Su-
preme Court decision made the law supremey ridiculous. 1t
gave to the patentee the most extraordinary monopoly that
could be conceived. The decision was received by the country
with establishment and in the belief that Congress would at
once amend the law in reason, which it hasn't done and evidently
won't do at this session.

Safety Razors and BARRIERS.

Safety Razors and BARRIERS.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The BOSS BARRIERS of Newark have
recently organized into a body called
1.-THE Master BARRIERS of Newark
Their main object is to make n
maintain rules, ways and means to
protect their livelihood.
BARRIERS have found their business
decreasing and their chances for liv-
ing decently rapidly becoming fewer.
The barber lives behind his shop,
usually in one room, and with usually
a large family. With their lessening
earnings, BARRIERS are finding 1t hard
10 maintain life, ever in such condi-
tons, and give their children a
proper education.
They ascribe this condition in the
first place to a large number of In
competent BARRIERS, who give up good
! positions to branch out for them
selves in establishments paid for on
the instalment plan, and soon real
ize that it is harder to make a living
as a JOSS paying high rent, high
wages and constant high instalments
| than as a hired helper.
Secondly, with h wide use OF
safety razors, the BARRIERS business
has been depleted by half.
These w influences, added to the
great hardship which intense compe-
tition and increased cost of materials
work upon the BARRIERS, have reduced
them to desperate straits, and at a
recent mass-meeting stringent meas
ures were decided on. The price or
a haircut will be a nickel more, since
a man cannot cut his w hair; a
massage will cost 5 cents more, Tor
a massage is a luxury, and the same
advance will be made on the price
of a hair SINCE. for the same reason.
| Shaves will still cost 10 cents apiece,
for should the barber raise that price,
most likely there would not be a sim
gle customer.
If the BARRIERS can have a chance
to feed their wives and children and
themselves and to make a comfort
able living instead of a desperately
poor one. they will 10 that work
with a will, and well, satisfying both
their customers and their working
men, fully ~repaying the former for
the lust increase in the amount they
will pay for better work. In
words, the BARRIERS will give a square
deal for a square deal.

She Wants a Husband.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In answer to a letter written by
Mayor Gaynor, of New York, to a
Mrs. Clara Lee Brown, of Kansas
City, Mo-, the mayor advises her, as
1 understand, to look in another di-
rection for happiness, rather than to
seek a husband to obtain it. Does the
mayor not approve of marriage?
I am a widow, looking in the same
direction, and I am sure there must
be in all this wide world some man
who could make me happy. I know
/ am capable of making some man
happy. but the difficulty is in meet
ing him.
I am a lady born and bred, with
some means, but my home lacks the
essential feature, in my point Of
view, of being the dearest spot on
earth. Not being a clubwoman or 4
gadabout, I do not have the opportu-
nifty of meeting a worthy person,
which / would very much like to do,
I know we could be happy ever If
Mayor Gaynor thinks to the contrary.

FORESTRY ENTHUSIASM SPREADING.

XIV EIGHBORING States are setting an example to New Jer-
AM sey in forestry. The New York Forest, Fish and Game
Bureau in offering 100000 baby trees at 81 a thou
sand is taking a practical step toward reforesting that State.
A nurseryman is buying up infant white pines to be transplanted
upon the estates of rich men, with the motto, 1--WE make your
forests while you wait" A million circulars have been dis
tributed to school children in the Keystone State, with pictures
and facts teaching forestry and instruction how to prevent and
fcheck forest fires. Forestry enthusiasts are buying preserves
in the Appalachian and White mountains and expect to acquire
enough to save the $1,000 900 appropriated by Congress for this
purpose. The forestry movement is sweeping all over the land.
1t means the salvation of a mammoth national asset.

1 AVE a daughter in n of our
large local department stores, in
which she is greatly annoyed by her
superiors. AS a rule, the girls are
afraid of losing their positions, so
these ~superiors think it matters little
how they treat a little "store girl"
For the small salary they receive it
seems they must stay at h store
all day and then be mistreated by
the said gentlemen after working
hours.
I am not the only father who com
plains, but it seems no one ever used
the right step to avoid such nuisance
/ again thank you and trust this
matter will receive some attention,
as it surely is embarrassing for a
father to try to forget his troubles
of the day and to think that his
daughter has to stand for such abuse
for the sake of a small salary and
amusement for others.

MAJ ANY of the motorists of other States who are permitted
AVN by the New Jersey law to use the roads of the State
for fifteen days without license fee abuse the privilege,
and as there are only eight paid inspectors employed by the

The law State Commissioner Lippincott proposes that garage
owners be obliged by law to keep proper records of all machines
that enter and leave their garages, the records being open to the
department inspectors. With the record as a guide the inspector
can keep track of outof-State machines. A law Of this kind is
in vogue in Massachusetts. The record would also enable owners
to know whether their automobiles have been surreptniousy
used by chaufeurs. The reciprocity law was passed in the faith
that QUITO State motorists would not abuse the States hospi

should reinforce the law with regulations to make it effective.
