Trenton. = After spending millions
OF dollars in corrective measures and
worrying a hundred years with the
economic problems presented by the
criminally degenerate element of in
habitants of the pine belt" including
parts of Burlington, Monmouth and
Ocean counties, the State is now seek
ing a method of halting the spread of
this defective race. To discover and
apply the preventive while still using
the corrective is the aim of the pres
ent investigation under the direction
OF the State Department of Charities
and Corrections. The work is under
the care of Miss Elizabeth Kite, who
has devoted many months to the
study of these "lost people," the exist
ence of whom is known only in a
vague sort of way outside the official
circles which have at length taken
{ ps to do something to remove the
blot from the State, existing over an
area of about 100 square miles and
not more than so miles by train from.

Boy Shoots Parents.

In what John Balas declares was a
struggle with his father over a shot
gun at their home on the Simpson
place, in Liberty Corner, both parents
were shot. The parents are Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Balas. Part of the
charge entered Mrs. Balas' leg, and
another part severely wounded the
elder Balas' right arm, which may
have to be amputated. Mr.. and Mrs.
Balas were taken to the Memorial
Hospital, Morristown, and their son,
who is 10 years old. was locked up in
the jail at ~Bernardsville.

County Farmers Exchange.

Five years ago the Monmouth Coun-
ty Farmers Exchange was organized,
mainly for the purpose of saving the
members some of the profits that
were going to the commission mer-
chants or being lost by consigning the
products of the farms to points where
the markets were c~ongested. How
we'll the enterprise has succeeded may
be known by the statement recently
made to the members, who now num-
Der 1927. During the season that has
just closed the exchange did business
amounting to $941, 1885, 81. 1t has a
capital stock of $75,195, having begun
business in July, 1908, with a paid-up
capital of $1,000. It's capital and sur
plus amounts to SOL, 734.26, after hav-
ing paid dividends to the stockhold-
ers. Potatoes, apples and asparagus
are the main products grown and
handled, but there is a considerable
business done in other lines.
Saving the Profits.
The exchange employs a general
manager, has thirty loading stations
conveniently, and in the last four
years has compounded and sold to it's
members 11,145 tons of commercial
fertilizers, thus saving to them the
manufacturers and middlemen's profit
IN the fertilizers. During the five
years the exchange has been in exist
erce the average price of potatoes,
which is Monmouth county's best
crop, has been maintained at an ave-
rage of $1.68 per barrel, which is much
higher than the average prices OBJ
tained before the cooperative plan
yas put into operation. These facts
aha figures suggest the benefit that
may follow to the citizens of Trenton
and the farmers of this vicinity by
the establishment of a curb or farmers
market here. The profits of two OF
three middlemen and the t~ransporta-
ton charges to and from Philadelphia
can be divided by the producers and
consumers.

Must Furnish phone.

Finding the refusal of the New York
Telephone Company to furnish service
to Philip B. Adams at his residence
in Allendale is in fact a discrimination
prohibited by statute, the Board of
Public Utility Commissioners has
made an order requiring the company
to install a service upon the same
terms as are given to other subscrib-
ers in the borough. At the hearings
1t was shown that although the COM
pany had refused to install a tele-
phone in the residence of Mr.. Adams,
it was supplying service to a number
of adjacent houses. The company in
defense pleaded that the Allendale
Central Office District is now connect
ed to the Ridgewood switchboard, but
that in order to accommodate the
business in A%llendale it had been de-
cided to establish a central office in
that municipality. Pending the secur-
ing of municipal consent and the in
stallation of a permanent service the
company has refused to run additional
circuits from Ridgewood to supply the
district. The board in a memorandum
reviewed the situation carefully and
reached the conclusion that the COM
pany was not justified in the position
it had taken. The board pointed out
that by providing one additional cir
cult from R~idgewood eight new sub
scribers can be added to the COM
pany's lines in the A%llendale district.
The board thought it reasonable that
the company should be required to
make such a provision.

William jolly, a farmer living in q
tenant house neal Plainsboro, was
burned to death when the house took
fire while the occupant was asleep.
Neighbors, who saw the fire, went to
the mans assistance, but the fire had
gained such Roadway that they were
driven back by the flames and the
man was consumed in the blaze. Jol-
ly's family was away, and the fire,
which started from a stove in the
upper part Of the house, failed to
arouse him. But the time the neigh
bors arrived be- was dead.

Lost to Society.

Lost to Society. 4
Marrying and intermarrying into de-
tective and often imbecile families,
the stock has dropped lower in the
human scale with each succeeding
generation, until the State now finds
that it has numbers of small commun-
ties scattered through the pines in
which practically every inhabitant
shows signs of degeneracy. Science,
n fact, brands them as a people lost
~rrevocably to society and civilization.
Neither education nor religious infiu-
snce a aid a people, the scientists
.ay, whose defective adult minds are
capable of nc greater mental percept-
We than those of children of 9 or 10
vears. Missionaries and school teach
ers, it is explained, can work on the
formal, but ignorant, mind of the At
'ican savage, but find in dealing with
.hese "pine-wood savages' that the
mind is not there to cultivate. Chill
lren of this stock, science says-and
his is the most serious phase CT the
problem from any viewpoint IN are
ioemed hy the law of heFedity to ~
come a menace to the community and
| burden to the State.
Study of ~Degeneracy.
The study of degeneracy along he
'edity lines first took Miss Kite into
his field as a member of the faculty
If the Training School for Feeble
Minded Children at Vineland. Her in
Festigation, covering a period of two
Tears, touched the problems that con-
.ronted the Department of Charities
Ind Corrections, and Commissioner
Joseph P. Byers recently appointed
Miss Kite to carry forward the inves-
legation for the State along wider
ines. 1t is the pitiable cases of the
children of these "Pineys" that opened
he eyes of the Department of Char
ties and Corrections to the need for
immediate steps to remedy as far as
possible the conditions that now exist,
more dreadful, apparently, than those
Of the past. Often deserted by their
parents, frequently living more like
wild animals than human beings,
sometimes throughout the summer
months wearing little or no covering
for their bodies, and suffering in win
ter from lack of proper clothing, the
lot of these children is desperate be-
yond the power of narration.
