INSURANCE IN
FOREIGN FIRMS
DECLARED SAFE
Newark Men Say War Will Not
Affect European Com
panies.

Newark Insurance men today de-
clared there was no need for alarm
among persons holding fire insurance
policies in foreign insurance compa.
MES. The only thing that might af-
feet such companies, it was declared
would be a war of tremendous Ions
duration or great confagration
1t was said the risks held by for
eign companies are protected suff
GENTLY by investments in this country
and that there was ne need for ans
uneasiness. Foreign insurance COM
panies. 1t was explained, are permit
ted to publ sh only their American
assets.
Out of 1877 fire insurance companies
that have filed certificates with the
New Jersey Department of Banking
and Insurance, sixty are foreign COM
panies. Fifty-two of these sixty are
located in countries involved in the
European war
An investigation of the records of
fire insurance companies at the De-
partment of Banking and Insurance
shows that the investments Of for
eign insurance companies doing bust
ness in this country are of the very
safest kind. They are mostly United
States, State, county or municipal
bonds or railroad bonds. Most of the
assets of these companies are of such
a nature that they would not be at
fected by a condition of war.

eign companies of nations actually at
war include in 1913 the following;

ESSEX AUTO|STS
WILL GIVE DAY TO
SIGN-POSTING
Will Tour State and Place
Warning Notices at DAN
gerous Points.

The board of directors and the
members of the good roads commit
tee of the Automobile Club of Es-
sex County will hold an important
meeting at the Washington Thurs
day night when arrangements will
be completed for "A Sign Posting
Day" It is planned to have signs
placed on all bad roads throughout
the State and warnings placed at
the dangerous curves of the thor
oughfares traversed by motorists.
During the past two months the
club has placed many of the dam
ger warnings on the Asbury Park
route. roads to Pennington and Suf-
fern. Dead Mans Curve at Nor
gan and the right angle turns at
South Amboy have already been
posted by the organization.
The signs placed by the associa-
ton differ materially with those
placed by other auto clubs. 1t is
contended by the members of tile
Essex organization that danger signs
are of no value if the motorists are
rot asked to blow their horns while
approaching a bad curve. If the
horns are sounded then a machine
coming from the opposite direction
will heed the warning of the horn
and either stop or slow up.
1t is planned to have automobiles
leave Newark on the Sign Post
ing Day" and go over all the roads
in the State. The machines will be
divided into groups, each group to
take a route assigned to it. This
committee in charge will make a
detailed report of the conditions as
found and signs will be placed where
deemed needed.
Many other Improvements are con-
templated for county and State roads
by the local organization. A COM
mittee will also be appointed to han
die the motorists end of proposed
auto legislation.
In their zeal to minimize the dan
ger 20 automobiles in other parts oe
the State, the Essex safety squadron
does not intend to overlook this
county
Attention has been called to a par
ticular point where signs and sounds
will be of service. This point is on
Irvington avenue, in South Orange
township, few hundreds to the east
of Ivy Hill, where the Newark aims
house has been erected. There is a
right angle turn just to the west of
small frame building, on which
appears the sign, Ivy Hill Hose

SAFE IN LONDON
Harrison Woman for Whom
Government Was Asked to
Search Located.

Though the state department in
Washington had been asked to look
for Miss Frances E. Hall, daughter Of
Rev. Thomas Hall. of 16 North Fourth

nation was cleaned from cables re-
oeived telling of the Americans who
had registered with the citizens com
mittee in the English capital.
No word has been received in Har-
rison, but it is supposed Miss Hall Is
stopping with relatives in London.
The attention of the state depart
ment had been called to the matter by
Congressman Eugene F. Kinkead. to
whom an appeal had been made by
Rev. Mr.. Hall, who is pastor of the
Davis Memorial NJ. e. Church, Harri-
son. Miss Hall is a teacher in the
Jersey City High School. and went to
Germany in July The last word from
her was from Dresden, and the letter

COUNTY RATABLES
SLOW IN COMING IN
Taxation Board likely to In
crease Valuations in Out
lying Municipalities.

The Essex County Board of Taxa
ton today considered the proposition
of revising the ratables submitted by
some of the municipalities. 1t is
probable that the board will increase
the valuation of the ratables of some
of these towns. This would result
in a lower tax rate than the present
total valuation indicates.
Official figures of Newark's rata
bles show that the estimate given on
them last week was too high. It was
estimated that the Newark ratables
would show an increase over the
1913 figures of $4,000 00 The valua-
ton of Newark ratables for 1913 was
1890. 764, 147, and this year they amount
to S403,046,909, showing an increase OF
ST., 282, 762.
The municipalities of Irvington
and Caldwell have not yet submit
ted the valuation of their ratables
for 1914 to the county board. Pres
ent indications, however, are that
neither of these municipalities will
show the increases which were esti-
mated a week ago. 1t Is thought
that when the full ratables of the
county are submitted, the county tax
rate will be in the neighborhood of
SO. This would make the tax rate
for Newark 2.07, or two points higher
than earlier county figures indicated.
The city tax rate has been decided
at 1.38.
The twenty-five municipalities of
the county are required by law TO
submit their tax budgets to the
county board by the third Tuesday
in August. Therefore it is expected
that these figures will be in the
hands of the commissioners by next
Tuesday. In the week following the
county board probably will decide
on the county tax rate. Under these
circumstances the county tax rate
announcement is due to be made a
week earlier than usual.

To preserve the health of the family the home must be sanitary
and good sanitary conditions prevail the Kitchen where the
food is cooked, above all other places.

Selecting the Goats"

TN THE hearing before the Public Service
i Commission II was argued that New York
was enjoying better commutatlon service at
n cheaper rate than Philadelphia and no in
crease had been suggested for New York"
Mr.. Pennypacker seemed to think that the
railroads were suffering from rate delusion.
That is the opinion most people have when
they stop 60 consider the absurdity of great
railways urging the necessity for increases
I'm the envlrons Of one metropolis while they
themselves, by their actions, admit that there
is no necessity whatever for such increases in
another metropolitan territory but 30 miles
away The situation is 30 obvious that 1t Is
scarcely worth arguing.
The truth is that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has put the railroads in such
fix that they are trying to wriggle out In
whatever way they can. They have been
goaded to desperation by extra -crew laws and
grade-crossIng enactments and dozens of
other reform -the-world- in a. minute statutes,
all of which have combined to increase eX
penses inordinately. But the solution is not
to muct commuters II is to get fair treat
ment We surmise that the Legislatures viii
be less radical hereafter, and there is some
reason to believe that the Interstate Com
merce Commission Is waking up. But the
commuters do not intend in the meantime TO
have the burden shunted onto their shoul-
ders: nor do the Philadelphia commuters, in
particular feel that they should be singled
out for punishment

Women. War and Government

TXToMEN suffer from the effects of war not
w less than men; women nurse the
wounded who fall in battle; women are taxed
upon their property to pay the costs of WIZ.
II the hundreds Of thousands of bereaved ano
starving of Europe might have their
way at the close of the terrible European
holocaust there would never be another ap-
peal to arms And undoubtedly women are
right when they point to the present cata-
clysm Illustration Of mans incapaclty
for government; he has ruled negotiated
quarreled, on behalf of only n fraction Of the
race, and that the comparatively small mas
ouline militarstic class.
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence has laid down two
propositions that are worthy of careful
thought
Reinforcement of the democracIes of the
world by the inclusion of the mother-half of
the human race into the ranks of articulate
eitizenship."
THAT women well as men should be sent
as representatives of their nations to The
Hague Conference"
These suggestions are not only practical,
but they are right. If women are an integral
part OF the nation and inseparable from the
well-being and progress of the race; if they
are sufficiently responsible to hold property
and capable OF shaping the physical mental
and moral life of the country, they surely are
competent to share the problems and perform
the duties of full citizenship.

its heroic experiences on the operating table
Unemployment has become the most pressing
OF Immediate problems. Those who have sur
fered least during the period are being called
on for contributions with a regularity that
has seriously depleted exchequers. Yet there
has been no let-up in generosity. and GER
tainly Philadelphia has set a new standard
Tor community service and the practical ap-
plieatlon of the Golden Rule.
But what man. If he can avoid it, wants
charity? The most priced right OF the Amerl-
can citizen is TO do without II. That is what
America has stood for-the land of oppor-
trnity, with a living in it for every man
with grit enough to take it. Prosperity IS
sorething demanded as right. It belongs
70 this people. They have been trained TO
expect it. Better. then, than charity is COM

Realism in the Nursery

rs THE doll-face done for2 Not on ladies, of
i course-that were too much to hope-but at
any rate on dolls God has given you one
face" says Hamlet to the doll designers,
"and you make yourselves another" The
smpering, pudgy sweetness of fat cheeks and
fat foreheads and teeth like picket fence
has been thrust upon children year after year
as a model of feminine perfection, until one
can hardly blame the way young ladies have
taken to initiating it between is and %.
But that is over now. Realism has invaded
the nursery. The toy shops are full of real
baby dolls. They have a jolly sort of every
day kiddishness about them. Rolypoly and Il
bit gawky. they look very much like an in
fant at it's most investIgative age, and with
a subtle insight into the wishywashy frame
of mind behind the baby-doll face, the makers
call them character babies. Hooray for
