UNDERWOOD ON OUR MERCHANT MARINE

Oscar w Underwood's Fourth of July address to
the Knights of Columbus in Prospect Park Brooklyn,
was mostly devoted to the subject of COM
merce. Incidentally he touched upon Panama canal
tolls. He gave illustration of how the repeal OF
free tolls for American ships will work.
All the European nations substitute their merchant
ships The tolls at Panama S,O00-ton ship are
$40. 900. An American and British ship start from
New York The British ship is subsidized to the ex-
tent of the tolls. The American ship is not Both
ships are bound Pacific port 1t costs the Ameri-
ship $4,000 than the British ship to carry
a cargo and the Britisher gets the cargo.
The American people built the Panama Canal
to build up the American merchant marine, and this
is the way the investment has turned out The
foreign ship is given advantage of $4,000 IN the
cost of voyage the American ship, and our
merchant marine, which is insignifcanA must
continue to dwindle. This is academic government

Editor Evening Star Newark, n. J.
Dear Sir-Published in one of our
local papers last night was a news
item referring to the opposition shown
to he nomination and election of the
three present freeholders. Harrison,
Malta and Lacombe. This article
covers the situation very we'll The
voters of the Republican party are
beginning to wake up to the fact that
the party must rid itself of
Jones and Dalrymple If it wants to
be successful in the future, and one
very effective way of doing 1t would
be to elect three independent freehold
ers next election day
It would be well for the anti-Jones-
alrymple-Alworth element to get
together and select a ticket for prim-
airy day in opposition to the ticket
presented by~Jones ct ais ! have in
mind a ticket of three very fine men
who might be induced to make the
run for the county William
Little, of Caldwell Milton Crawley,
of the Fifteenth ward of Newark,
and Christian l.. Volz, Of the Second
ward of Newark. This would be
vote getting trio end ticket that
would be successful on election day.
1t is absolutely necessary to defeat
the Jones ticket in order to get rid Of
Jones and Dalrymple from county
offices. In my opinion vote-getting
ticket, an ideal one, and a successful
county ticket, exclusive of the free
holders. would be Austen Colgate for
senator, Ralph B. Schmidt for sheriff.
Daniel F. Gaven for surrogate and
William H. Roberts, of Maplewood,
for supervisor. For Newark, either
George w Jagle or August V. Ham
burg for mayor. and Arthur r. Den
man and Louis F. Pfeifer for board
of works.
1t seems peculiar that Jones, Dali
rymple and Alwarth should persist in
forcing Heilmann and Taylor for
office, especially when Heilmann is
practically unknown to the voters of
today and so many good candidates
for sheriff are in the race. Mr.. Tay-
Tor has been county chairman
for little over a year and is a New
York lawyer, practising in New York.

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
BY NARY MARSHALL
JULY 8
Katherine Tingley, Lizette orth
Copyrighted 1914.
JULY 6

Mrs. =Tingley the celebrated theoso-
phist, was born sixty-three years ago
today in Newbnryport Mass. Her
name before her marriage when she
was thirty was Westcott, de-
rived from long line of dis
tinguished New England ancestors
When she was forty six she became
leader and official head for life of
the Universal Brotherhood and
Theosophical Society throughout the
world" About this time she took up
her residence at Point Iona, Cal,
the celebrated coloney Of Theoso-
phists.
Mrs. Tingley has not confined her
work to this country Twice she has
conducted crusades around the world,
spreading the teachings of theoso-
ply as she went Her purpose, like
that of the organization which she
represents is to teach brotherhood
create a new literature-and study
the latent divine powers in man."
Another celebrated woman whose
birthday falls on July is Iizette

In any large city of this country In
the same block, possibly in the same
building. can be found in use today
the first type of pen and the latest.
A fine hair brush was the first instru-
ment used by man for writing pur-
poses. The Chinese laundryman of
today marks his tickets and keeps
his accounts with a camers-hair pen
dipped in ink Next door probably is
a white merchant who uses the latest
make of steel pen.
Between the two in the long history
of the pen came the reed, then the
nuill. Steel pens are almost in uni
versal use now and are made by the
ton and in increasing volume every
year.
Confucius used a hair brush for
pen. and his ancestors for thousands
of years before his time. The reed
came into use for writing in the
marshy countries of the Orient. 1t

THE RETIREMENT OF CITY CLERK ooNNELLY

The long and honorable service of James F. Con-
nelly in the important public positions he
has held under the city and Federal and
especially of CITY, entitle him to testimonial
of public respect and regard upon his retirement
And Mr. Conney's public career has been unique
in one respect Although long in official position
he was never at any period of his life an office
seeker He was nominated and elected to the Com
mon Council simply as the ablest and fttest citizen
of his ward. He put on the Tax Board because
he was ideally qualified for it, AS comptroller he
had no peer. And when Newark needed new city
clerk the appointment naturally went to the man
so conspicuously capable.
Mr.. Connolly brought vgor and efficiency

Comments on American Women

The London Bystander sent Francis
Toye to New York recently to write
about the American woman and her
Toye discovered:
There have always been certain
cities famous for the beauty of their
women, and most people who Know
New York will have no difficulty in
deciding which one may especially
claim the honor today. Not so much
because of the beauty of the wealth.
Ter women, though you can see some
of the loyeliest faces in the world
among them. But-tell 1t not in Gath
many American ladies Of fashion
are too plump and soft looking to be
really beautiful. Despite recent reac
tion, / think the American woman of
the upper class is, physically, the
LATEST in the world. With the advent
of the automobile there seems to be
some danger of her losing the use of
her legs altogether. Indeed, on the
analogy of her ancestors tails, she
may end by being born without any
at all. But that is mere theory.
still, speaking personally, | am
bound to say that even the average
American woman of the upper class
seems to be distinctly prettier than
any of her European sisters. But
about the average American woman
of the middle class there can, am
sure. be no doubt at all, She is in
comparably the smartest most ele-
CANT and beautiful thing that exists
under heaven. You talk Of the pretty
faces of English girls, the distinction
of Partisan midlnettes, the dash of
Slavonic women-why. the American
girl combines all these qualities, and
improves on them, too.
Her face, or, rather one type OF
it. has been immortalized by Dana
Gibson. If she has not always a good
complexion, she at least knows how
to make the best possible imitation.
Her clothes are so smart that you
wonder how on earth she can afford
to buy them till you remember that

Common Council made brief comparison of the
wealth and finances of city between the time

But Mr.. Connolly could have added that much
of this growth was due to his own civic spirit and
efforts In his retrospect of thirty-one years he

Improvement on the hair pen.
The value of the quill was discoy-
cred at an early date in the history
of civilization, and it's use spread
from the East over Europe and then
to the new world. Before the day
of the metal pen England annually
was importing more than 100000
quills for pens. They were from the
swans of Iceland, the Irish geese, the
geese of the Hudson Bay country, etc.
Early in the nineteenth century the
metal pen began to be used in Eng
land, the first one beng one piece of
metal for holder and point. The inn

tachable followed quickly, and to keep
the point from being so stiff the sides
were slit, as they are today. Steel
pens in the early days cost % cents
each, sometimes double that.-Chicago

Staten Island has not prospered under New York

New York city doesn't need Staten Island, and
therefore neglects it. Even tunnel connection would
