RepOrts From India.

If reports about India may be
trusted in any sense, England has
good cause to be alarmed over the
situation. If India should revolt and
undertake to throw off the yoke of
English rule, England would have
her hands full in quelling such ire
mendous demonstration. Heretofore
there has been little trouble in quel-
ling Indian disturbances, but at this
time England is having her hands
full trying to balk German further
progress into France, and stopping
the drive to Constantinople. The
situation presents grave problems to
our English cousins, for one of her
prominent statesman only recently
limited at a possible revolution at
home over the proposed conscrip-
ton act. At the very most England
cannot hope to adjust her present
difficulties except at great cost. If
she should actually lose India and
Egypt, she would be without a large
source of revenue, but she would
still be England.
There are very astute minds today
that believe England's colonies a
hindrance rather than a benefit. But
this can scarcely be true, since with
the progress of time and the adj
vance of civilization they should be
a tremendous force and power for
England. The investment feature of
England's possessions as time rolls
on and she keeps down revolutions,
must be colossal. The problem in
India may be grave, but England is
strong enough to solve it.

The Road Question.

The rapid piling up of big debt
for Bergen county has been "viewed
with ALARM" to use the usual poll
teal warning. But there is another
way of looking at the Bergen public
debt. If the debt which is largely
for road building, be created right, it
should prove a good investment, but
not otherwise.
AS the Bergen roads are now being
made the road surface could scarcely
be better. Most of the newer roads
like Anderson avenue appear to have
been properly constructed, but the
large majority of them are lacking
in one element of finish that causes
the best roads to depreciate faster
than they should. The shoulders are
not properly cared for, and wear off
on the edges quite soon by heavy
trucking and wagon service. The
life of road must be damaged at
least twelve or fifteen per cent. in
this manner. This fault can be
remedied if the Freeholders will in
clude in their specifications an al
lowance for proper shoulder protec-
ton. 1t would be even better if six
feet wider surface were placed On the
roads.
In California they are building
roads at great rate. Already that
state has as fine roads as any coun-
try in the world. An election was
held October 26, making into law the
question of spending $15,000,0OO
for new roads in California. This
will make $33,OOO,OOO California has
spent in five years past, $18,000,OOO
having been appropriated in 1910.
Bergen county is rich, but none too
rich to have money wasted on poor
road construction. Let the good work
go on. Good roads will bring more
population than almost any thing
else.

The English Note.

President Wilson's note to Eng
land, which was given publicity on
Monday last, has been received every
where with the same concentrated
interest that attaches to all his pub
lie utterances. The President has
dispatched some nine or ten mes
sages to England since the establish
ment of the blockade against Ger
many and Austria. The discussion
has gone on for months, and the
public has grown impatiently anxious
for something tangible in the way
of results. England has gone on
siezing American shipments under
suspicion or otherwise, thereby hamp-
ering American interests, but claim
ing the right to do so under So
called "exigencies" which have now
been fatty denied by President
Wilson.
So far since the European war
started there has been no real clash
between England and the United
States. Nor, is there likely to be any.
England, no doubt, in the fire of her
enthusiasm may repeat her claim of
"exigencies." But it will avail her
nothing. She must yield her posi-
ton or forfeit her standing for fair
ness and respect for international
law before all neutral powers. Eng
land will not dare to bring the issue
down to SO fine a point as this.
All that the United States de-
mands is the recognition of right
She demanded it of Germany and
finally that country saw the light
and yielded. England will do the

Hints For The Home

To destry the smell of paint place
pals of cold water-which should be
changed daily-in the rooms that are
being painted. 1t lessons the annoy
ing smell considerably. If you live in
the country and get hay put hand
full of hay into the water, as this al
so helps to absorb the smell.
To clean a burnt pan dip hard
crust of bread in kitchen salt and rub
the burnt portion, then wash in hot
soda and water.
The glass of hot water which has
such a beneficial effect when drunk
first thing in the morning is improv-
ed by pinch of salt.
Cane chairs that have become
slack can be frightened by rubbing
them well with salt and water. Turn
them upside down and put them in the
sun and air to dry. They will be
found to have frightened up like new
articles.
The best and simplest way to test
silk is to cut off small piece and
burn it. If it burns out quickly, leav-
ing a clear, crisp, grey ash, the silk
is pure; but if it shoulders and lea
YES heavy, reddish-brown ash, the
material has been treated with chemi-
Gals and will not wear we'll.
In case of dandruff a good hair
lotion is made by putting a table
spoonful of borax and three table
spoonfuls of pure glycerine in a pint
of water (warmed). Apply this with
a sponge vigorously to the roots of
the hair at bedtime. 1t will promote
the growth of the hair, as we'll as
cleanse

What's The Use?

"My DEAR" said Mr.. Scadson,
"these reckless expenditures of yours
must cease"
"To what do you REFER" asked
Mrs. Scadson.
"Well, for instance, that fur coat
you are wearing. According to this
bill it cost $780,"
'Men never do appreciate what
women do for them," replied Mrs.
Scadson, on the verge of tears. "For
whole week l fought the tempta-
ton to buy another coat l liked bet
ter, priced $3.50, and finally took
this one because l wanted to save
you money"

same. Besides, at this time America
is too important factor with all the
countries at war. Cut off American
supplies and the entire war situation
would be instantly changed.
Everybody looks to see President
Wilson come out of this tilt with
England not with flying colors," but
with the banner of truth still waving
on high and still unsullied.
