meat. It is covered with thick sout-

substance not unlike molasses. This
is called the milk Of the sponge and

If your daughter is just six or seven
years old and you are beginning to feel

Of Santa Claus, just silence that con
science and wait until she finds out the
truth for herself.
II your daughter has any illusions
left in this day of disillusion. let hei
keep them. She will feel more resent
ment toward you for SCATTERING them
than she will for deceiving her. You
do not think 1t necessary to tell youi
grownup girl all the things you have
discovered about love and matrimony
and thereby terminate her dreams that
those myths are all they seem to be
do you?
After all. the sweetest part Of girl's
life from babyhood up is the dream
part. Some day she will find out that
there is no Santa Claus, and then she
will find out that there are 10 fairies
and then she will find out that 70
nance doesn't last. and then that mat
rimony has its thorns. and then that
women grow old. hut why open he,
eyes to these things?
Let child believe in Santa Claus
Just as long as he or she will and

mythical Christmas tree to Der hearts

the sawdust In the doll Of life when II
begins to fall ont without being told
about it when you thought 1t was real

If any mothers conscience Is trou

NO AID FOR MAN
WHO SUED BOARD
School Contractor Who En-
countered Quicksand Now
Pleads for Help.
Special to the Evening star.


SUMMIT, July while expressing
their sympathy for him in his finan-
cial difficulties, the Board Of Educa-
ton at it's meeting last night de-
clined TO take any action which would
aid Arthur Topper. as the latter re-
quested in a communication.
Topper was president of the COM
monwealth Construction Company of
this city, which erected the Brayton
Public School In the construction of
the building the company encountered
quicksand and water. It cost the con-
Germ muck money to overcome this.
The company sought through the
courts to compel the Board OF Edu-
cation to imburse it for the extra
work in connection with the quick
sand and water, but failed.
According to Topper an indebtedness
Of several thousand dollars was left
to him TO iquidate by the company.
In his communication to the school
board he asked that that body origi-
nate a movement whereby subserip-
tidns of money might be obtained to
help him pay the financial obligations
with which he is now burdened.
Commissioner John d. Morgan
thought that since Topper and his
company had put the city to an ex-
pense of about $3.50 in defending the
suit instituted for the collection of
extra compensation the appeal for aid
now came with bad grace. The board
members, however. agreed that the
company had hard luck in executing
their contract, and therefore extended
the sympathy of the board to Topper.

RAILROAD FIGHTS
FLAGMAN ORDER
Erie Granted Writ in Case Az
fecting kearny Meadows
Crossing.

JERSEY CITY. July 7.TJustce
Swayze at the Court House today
granted writ of certiorari to the
Erie Railroad Company to review
the action of the Public Utility Com
mission in ordering hagmen stationed
at the roads two crossings over the
Belleville Turnpike, in Kearny. The
writ will be argued peobably at the
September term of the Supreme
Court. Justice Swayze, however,
made 1t plain that the writ does not
act as a stay, and that pending ar
gument ON it the fagmen must re-
main at the crossings.
c. B. Bradley appeared for the rail-
road company, County Counsel James
J. Murphy for the Board of Free
holders, and Frank Sommer of the
Public Utilities Commission was pres
emit for that body.
The railroad company is willing to
place bell of new design 100 feet
each side of the two crossings (the
Greenwood Lake and Newark branch)
which will ring evedy twenty seconds
on the approach of a train, and also
to put up warming signposts 500 feet
each side of the crossings, but the
Freeholders insist that the fiagmen
are necessary and will oppose any
step to dispense with them.
There have been several accidents
at the crossing, and had 1t been prop
erly protected several months ago
the. Walsh Willis auto accident, which
caused four deaths, might not have
occurred, 1t is claimed
