Bow THE STATE CAN oHEAPEN FOOD.

The coast fisheries of this State produce an enor-
nous amount of food which can greatly increased
by proper management An immense amount of food
FISH is deliberately wasted destroyed for the sake
Of keeping up high prices in the markets The States
fisheries are State property but the State has aban-
doned this property to foreign trust, which is ex-
plotting it at heavy to the people of the State
to make outrageous profits.
Food prices of all kinds going up, and when
people make any unusual demand for fish in the mar
kets the order goes out the trust to boost fish
prices too 1t will be claimed that by reason of the
war in Europe there is a scarcity of fish on the New
dorsey coast All except the commonest species of
Z hsh are now at luxury prices.
This could be ended by the Governor and Legis-
lature of New Jersey. 1t could have been ended by
the Governor and Legislature last winter, but the
Governor gave no heed systematic plumber of the
people and the Legislature failed to act.
- The State should take over and administer the
ocean fisheries and besides getting needed annual
income of 5000 600 insure fish for the people at rea-
sonabe prices The method of doing is simple,
feasible and capable of putting into vogue without
delay The outlay would not exceed $4,000, for
there are no rights to buy and no property of any
account to acquire
- Food prices going up and the means of live
1hood for the people being curtaed. Very seri-
Gus conditions may soon be created. Should Gov
ernor and Legislature supine and do nothing while
there is presented the opportunity to increase and
cheaper the food supply? Is necessary to wait for
another Legislature to perform this duty to a har-
assed people? Should not special session be called?

UPLIFT TALKS
GRADUATING INTO ovERALls"
BY oRIsoN SWEET MARDEN,
Author of Pushing to the Front" Etc.
Cartwright 1914

President Schurman, of Cornell,
said recently, that "the three most
significant events in the educational
history of the world were, first, the
founding at Salerno, Italy, of the first
of the medieval universities, a school
devoted not to theology (like the old
University of Paris), and not to law
(as the Bologna University was), but
to the study of medicine and the
physical sciences; second, the intro
duetion in the University of Berlin,
by Won Humboldt in the last century
of scientific research as applied to the
industries, and, third, the passing
of the Morrill, act by the United
States Congress-"
To the far sighted craftsmanship OF
the Morrill, act, setting apart vast
tracts of pubic land for the support
of industrial education, President
Schurman ascribed much of the re-
cent interest in raising the standards
of industry and the increased respect
accorded success in industrial work.
Apropos of this, Prof. Dillon, of Kan
sas State Agricultural College, COM
ments vigorously in the college paper
recommending a diploma for gradua-
ton into overalls. Now, this is not, by
any means, a bad suggestion. 1t APP
pears that people are most particular
ly determined out in Kansas to
realize the American ideal, and are
taking steps to extend the scope OF
industrial and technical training, not
only to the high schools, but to every
public school in the State. is a

quently begins long before the middle
life is fairly concluded-various views
have been set forth at different times.
The silvery gray appearance which
is seen in aging persons is probably
characterized to some extent by the
occurrence of a larger number of air
cavities, and not by the destruction
of the pigment, Hair pigment can be
destroyed only by the most vigorous
chemical treatment. Dry hairs con-
tain more air. and therefore will ap-
pear somewhat lighter in color than
moist ones; but black hair may be
dried to the utmost without becom-
ing white, and the hair of mummies
dried through centuries still show
their pigment precisely as do fresh
hairs.
The explanation of the familiar COL
exchanges of the hair is probably to
be found, not in a destruction of pig

but rather in complete renewal of
the hair. Pigmented hairs fall out
and are replaced by unpigmented or
white ones. The appearance of gray
or white hair is therefore attributa-

coat rather than by the alteration of
the old one. Completely pigmented
hairs never turn gray; they fall out.

The most rapacious of our purveyors of food is

How are we to harmonic these
statements with the many published
records of hair having turned white
suddenly as the presumable conse-
quence of fright or other profound
emotion? A careful study of the re-
puted instances has Invariably shown
that they were mythical. 1t is popu-
larly related that Marie Antoinette
grew gray during the night after she
was condemned to be executed 1t
is true that at her death her hair
was gray; but her biographers all
record that her hair had been gray
long before the time of her death.
1t is also quite possible that the
change in her hair while in prison
was due to the fact that she did not
have access to hair dyes and other
toilet preparations. This may serve
to illustrate the value of hearsay
evidence and popular tradition.
The conspicuous changes which the
color of the fur of certain species of
animals undergoes at different sea-
sons of the year, becoming white in
the winter months. affords an oppor-

and white hairs grow in their place.
No sudden changes are found when
accurate observations are instituted.

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

Charlotte Yonge
Copyrighted 1914.

When Charlotte Yonge began to
write her object was not to gain
money or fame, but simply ito be
useful to young girls like herself !"
And though she gained fame and
large money returns from her books,
It was as a writer for young girls
that she is known the world over
The money she earned she spent
largely for religious and charitable
purposes. Out of the large profits of
one of her most popular books THE
Daisy Chain,' she contributed ten
thousand dollars toward a missionary
college in Auckland, and she spent
large sums of money on rebuilding
and identifying the parish church
which she attended
Charlotte Yonge was born on Aug
ust IL, 1928, near Winchester, Eng
land According to her own words
she was Born clumsy, inaccurate, in,
attentive and at no time able to keep
accounts" But in spite of these
handicaps she always had taste and
ability for storytelling. "All my
life," she writes of herself, has been
spent In one place. and one which can
boast of nothing extraordinary. But
then 1t has always been looked at
with loving eyes" At the age or
seven she began to teach Sunday
school in this little English town

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Great Editors FOndness for Poetry

best short poems written In the Eng
lish language within the past hum
dred years.
Mr.. Dana did not hesitate a mo-
ment. He named ten and in doing
so made no reference to any work,
but simply relied upon his memory.
| do not recall now the titles of
these ten poems, although Mr.. Swim
ton mentioned them to me, but ! do
remember three. These were Blake. s
poem, Tiger, Tiger" Tennyson's
BLOW, Bugle, Blow" and Thacke-
rays "At the Church Door,"
Each of these, Mr.. Dana said, was
perfect not only in form, but in the
manner in which a single thought
was expressed, there being not even
any technical violation of prosody.
He said that you could almost hear
the tiger growl if you read Blake s
poem aloud, and you could also seem
to hear the distant sound of the bugle
if Tennyson's poem were properly
read.
Mr.. Dana was a great admirer of
dialect poems, and was especially
fond of Eugene Field. He was the
first one to discover a dialect poem
which was written by Sally Pratt
Mclean sister of United States Sem
ator Mclean, the first line of which
was de massa OBJ de sheepfold."
Mr.. Dana was so fond of this that
he caused it to be reprinted, and he
appended to the reprint of 1t some
enthusiastic comments of his own.
He often spoke of it as the most per-
feet dialect poem he had ever read.

In no part Of his editorial work
did Charles A. Dana, during the en-
tire thirty years of his direction of
the New York Sun, find greater
pleasure than in searching through
the newspapers-esp those pub
lished in small communities-in the
hope that he might find some stray
poem worthy of reproduction in his
paper. He was rejoiced If he discov-
cred in a modest corner of a news
paper or in the so-called poets
column" a little poem which con-
tanned a single thought expressed in
such a manner as to reveal the poetic
temperament of the writer. Mr..
Dana maintained that every man has
at least one poem tucked away in
the brain, although not many have
the true art Of poetic expression.
Having culled from the newspapers
various poems, Mr.. Dana caused as
many of these as would fill a column
of the Sunday Sun to be printed. He
frequently re-read a little poem
which he had thus preserved from
oblivion.
Mr.. Dana's longtime friend and
editorial associate in the preparation
of what was regarded for many
years as the leading American en-
cyclopedia, the late George Ripley,
once said to John Swinton that he
was persuaded that Mr.. Dana pos
sessed the most accurate judgment
respecting poetry, and especially
modern poetry, of all the authorities
whom Mr.. Ripley had ever met.
Mr.. Ripley once spoke to Mr.. Dana
about having been keenly interested
in a question which had been SUBJ
mtted to him by a lover of poetry
who was also not quite sure of his
judgment respecting it. Mr.. Ripley
asked Mr. Dana what were the ten

.spoicy of all the eombatants in Europe. Relatives
and friends of the killed will be kept in ignorance

after long delay will be communicated by the govern

1t is to prevent public lamentation and keep the
population as a whole from knowing the great

In Civil War there was no such suppression.

1t is inspiring to see how such an
emergency calls out the sense of
unity so little apparent in the fac
tional disputes of peace. There is a
sense in which the times of peace are
the only real times of strife. In the
presence of a great emergency, citi-
zenship becomes brotherhood, and
things that were vital become petty
and are forgotten. In England there
was manifestation of the same
spirit in that splendid utterance of
John Redmond's after Sir Edward
Grey's speech, in which the National
list leader told him that the govern
ment could take away its soldiers
from Ireland, for the Catholics of the
South and the Professionals of Ulster
would take care of its defense. Two
weeks ago the differences between
the two parties were so vital that
King George himself spoke of the
danger of civil war. Now how small
they seem! In a lesser way the instant
abandonment of the differences that
seemed so weighty between the par
ties in Congress has illustrated the
same spirit.
