The Isthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are not many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence of a large
number of British subjects-the ia
maican negroes-has forced on the in.
habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side of the
road. Probably this is due to the fact
that most of the cab drivers are ia
maicans. All the people of that island
are intensely proud of being subjects
of King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.
Every cabby in Panama and Colon
and their number is legion-carries
either a bicycle gong or an automobile
horn with. which to warn other We
hicles and pedestrians of his approach,
and on a busy day the noise is more
unpleasant than that of the blasting
in the Culebra cut.

the purchase of Moro is wondering
who got the best of it.
Panama City's water supply is de-
rived from the Rio Grande reservoir,
little lake quite close to the canal.
For obvious reasons bathing or wad-
ing in it is forbidden, and all around it
are signs stating that fact. Recently
the wife Of a member of the canal
commission was entertaining friends
from the states, and in the course Of
their wanderings one day they came
upon the reservoir. They were tired
and dusty and the cool water looked
so inviting that they all took off their
shoes and stockings and went in wad.
ing. Unfortunately for them, one of
the efficient zone policemen came upon
them and arrested the whole party.
They were taken before the nearest
magistrate, and despite the pleading
of the commissioner, who had been
hastily called to the rescue, each one
was compelled to pay fine and listen
to sharp lecture on law-breaking and
sanitation.

Visits of congressional investigating
committees are no novelty to the peo-
pie who are making the canal. Neither
are they any pleasure. 1t is the gen.
eral belief down there that these are
mere junkets, and it must be admitted
that the visitors often show a colossal
ignorance concerning the canal. Col
onel Sibert, engineer in charge of the
Atlantic division, one day spent hours
showing a congressman over the Ga
tun locks and explaining it all to him.
When the colonel concluded his little
lecture the lawmaker clasped his
hands behind him, gazed about and re-
marked ponderously: WE'LL So this
is the famous Culebra cutl I'm glad
I've seen it and learned more about
It."

MOTOR TRAFFIC
REGULATION IN
NEWARK URGED
State Commissioner Lippincott
Requests Police Chief Long to
Cooperate in New Movement.
Especial to the Newark star.l

TRENTON. Dec. 4--Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles Lippincott today re-.
quested Chief of Police Long. of New
ark, to cooperate with the motor We
hicle department in the regulation OF
motor traffic during the winter
months. ~ 80
Mr.. Lippineott says during the win
ter months vehicle traffic on our coun-
try roads is reduced to minimum,
while travel in the large cities re-
mains generally on the same averag.e i
the year around. He further states 1t
is important then that regulation OF
motor traffic be centered in the large
cities during the winter He points
out that the number of accidents does
not decrease in proportion TO the ap,
paref1t decrease In motor venice lraVei
during the winter, the only dlHerehcs
being that such accidents are connneo
to the cities.
In requesting the cooperation OF
the Newark police department., MT.
Ii . fncott suggests the folloWing pro-
ceudre.
.'First-That certain days be imme--
diately set aside upon which special
attention will be given by the mem
bers of your force to motor Yehlcie
regulation, in order that wide pubic
note may be given that policy or
strict regulation has been instituted
by your department, and that all
speed laws will be enforced.
"Second-That officers be estab-
lished on the main thoroughfares at
all times for the purpose OF limiting
vehicles and making arrests when
necessary.
''Third-If not already arranged,
that q series of reasonable traffic rules
be adopted by your department that
can be practically administered by
your officers.
"Fourth--That you arrange dates
upon which our inspectors can CONFER
with members of your department Tor
the purpose of a uniformity in the
matter of regulation.
THAT your officers report all minor
violations and that such reports be
sent to this office for remedial action.

might be overruled by the other cam
didates in the convention.
After a while, however, the candt-
dates OF the Republican party-and
the same thing would apply to all
other parties-might get together on
a platform which the people them
selves had no part in debating. The
tendency in the regular campaign
would again be toward elevating per-
sonalities at the expense of princi-
pies.
Congress, the constitutional lawyers
say, will not be able to change the
electoral system or take the power of
arranging the primaries out of 1.-The
hands of the States without con-
stitutional amendment.
AS the people will have nothing to
do with the formation of policies in
conventions, the new scheme offers
exceptional opportunities for the
"strong men" of the country to dom
mate the situation, regardless of pol
icies. Such men as William Jennings
Bryan and William Howard Taft will
loom large on the political horizon II
they should decide to go into the
primaries and make a fight for the
nomination.
Naturally the Democrats are great

wide popular primaries in the South,
fearing that If constitutional
amendment is adopted there will be
difficulty in handling the State fran
chise problem. Many of the Eastern
States already have primary laws
but even these are merely "preferen-
tar and the actual votes are cast
for delegates to the convention and
not for the Presidential candidates
themselves. 1t Is recognized that the
plan suggested by President Wilson
will require an entirely new law,
either passed as the result of a con-
stitutional amendment or by the
States individually.
The question came up in the Sen
ate yesterday Senators Bristow
Cummins and others expressed the
hope that Democrats would follow the
President In support OF reform
which, they declared, progressive Re-
publicans long had demanded.
Senator Martin replied that the
Democrats were ''in entire accort

DOVER, Dec. 4.--Only a few mer-
chants responded to the request Of
the special committee of the Com
mon Council asking them to attend
a meeting last night In the council
chambers and make known their
views regarding bulletin boards on
the sidewalks, show cases and dis
play signs In front of business places
and similar sidewalk distractions.
After the object of the meeting had
been explained by the chairman,
Max Heller. OF the L. Lehman Com
pany, addressed the meeting and ex-
planned that he opposed the placing
of bulletin boards at the Grub line,
as they not only were an obstruc-
ton, but were liable to be blown over
and injure children. He believed.
however, that in town like Dover
the merchants should be allowed to
display their goods In front of their
stores to a limited degree, as long
as such display did not interfere
with pedestrians. He thought that
electric signs should be encouraged on
all streets and that full measure OF
cooperation and assistance should
be given to the business man in the
development of trade. Others spoke
along the same lines as Mr.. Heller

.OUSTED OFFICIALS
LOSE COURT FIGHT
Bayonne City Council Is Upheld
by Upper Branch OF
Judiciary.

TRENTON, Dec 4.--The action of
the Bayonne Common Council In dis
missing a number of officials from It's
service was upheld by the Court OF
Errors and Appeals today.
The men dismissed were Thomas j.
McGrath, assistant building inspec-
tor; John Roth, second assistant col
lector OF revenue. and Amos j.
Harker, assistant water purveyor.
McGrath and Roth claimed ex-
emption from removal because they
were exempt firemen, and Harker
claimed exemption because he was
Spanish war veteran.
The Errors Court took the position
of the Common Council that the
places held by McGrath and Roth
were offices with definite terms and
the men not protected. In the
Harker case the court held that the
council had q right to abolish and
combine positions when the action
was to benefit municipal government
In each case the Judgment OF the Su-
preme Court was reversed.

A recruiting station was opened in
Military Park today for the first
time since the Civil War The object,
this time, however, Is not to send
Newarkers to war, but to increase the
standing army of New Jersey in
the National Guard. 1t is thought by
those in charge that the standing of
the various companies of the Third
battalion of the First regiment will
be brought to their quote, sixty-five
men each.
In the presence OF several hundred
witnesses a service tent was erected
in the park, just opposite West Park
street, under the direction of First
Sergeant Henry Voss, of Company
l., and business was started early this
afternoon. In charge of the station
today are Privates Fred c. Dawson,
Company X, and Morris Bateman, of
Company I.
Others who will receive enlistments
at the tent In the next few days will
be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES J. r. Morris,
u. 8. A.; First Sergeant Henry Voss,
Company L; First Sergeant Leroy
Brant, Company X; Sergeant Joseph
Braelow, Company X, and First Ser
geant James Terwilliger, Company c..
The officers who will supervise the
receiving of enlistments will be Major
Roland d. Crocker, Captains Arthur
Marsh Winfried Van MUSE, Carl J..
Schultz, John F. Ryan, Harold Arm
strong and George Ts-s Patston, and
Lieutenants Alvin Graft, Anthony
Weis, Louis Bachelor, Manley Low,
Benjamin f. Day and Holmes Doger.
The Third Battalion consists of Com
panies I, L, C and k.
The National Guard offers many
inducements to young men. Those
between eighteen and thirty five
years of age are eligible to join. Each
man must serve three years In the
guard. Uniforms. guns, tents, equip
ment, etc, are furnished free by the
War Department so that National
Guardsman Is put to no expense.
The men are required to spend one
night a week in drill. Every summer
the regiments go to Sea Girt and
spend q week. While at this resort
the men are paid by the government.
The trip costs them nothing.

Trio of Firemen Are Hurt
When Shed Roof C0llapses

Three members of No. 8 truck fell
ten feet when the roof of shed from
which they were fighting a fire caved
in. They were slightly shaken up and
scratched, but went on with their
work. The blaze was in the bakeshop
of Bender & Turhoff, in the rear of
1914 Prince street. and resulted in a
loss of $500. The blaze was started by
an uninsulated electric wire attached
to the outside of the bakery.
1t was difficult for the firemen to
get at the flames. When the three
firemen climbed to the roof of a shed
their combined weight made the frai
wooden shack collapse. The firemer
who were injured We're Henry Peter
son, Herman Feustel and Albert
zirlsel. They are all on duty today.

"Clean" and ''White''

You never saw them be-
fore in any advertisement of
Chewing Gum.
Manufacturers have told
you about the flavor, the
package, every good quality
they could think of-but
they never told you their
product was clean.
Why not? Isn't the clean
illness of an article you are
to put in your mouth an i'm
portant factor? Isn't white
the color you associate with
cleanliness.
MO-JO gum is the first
gum to be made thor
oughly clean through

When you chew a
MO-JO you have no
lurking suspicion of I'M
pleasant things.
Just try asking for a

Rather simple, isn't 1T?
