BIG LOAN NOT AN INVESTMENT.

The fact that the Anglo-French financial COM
mission, working upon the proposed loan to the
allies in this country have offered the bonds to In
vestors at the rate of 98h, after having cut the
amount of the loan in one-half, seems to indicate
that necessity for making the terms more attractive
has arisen.
There appears to be question In the minds of
conservative bankers to the adylsability Of max
Ing the loan. In this they are not moved by sentf-
ment by the threats of certain of their customers
to withdraw their business If the loan is participated
in. But these bankers have taken the view that
tho lending of their funds would be speculative
rather than of an investment
No doubt the commissioners, even though they
be men of high repute honest and earnest of pur-
find 1t difficult to make astute trustees of other
peoples funds believe that loan to warning nations
that spending countless millions of money daily
is of the sort that they should engage in 1t has
been suggested that the great financial institutions
Of these countries, who guarantee the safety of tho
bonds, are of sufficient strength to safety
And yet it would appear that financial insttu.
tions matter how strong, cannot maintain their in
tegrity when they flying buttresses uphold
ing nations that deliberately fingng themselves
into financial and moral bankruptcy.

Tho Automatic Tariff.

From the Portland (Me.) Express.
The prosperity which this coun-
try is now enjoying in spots and
which is based upon war orders"
finds its real origin in two conditions
to which the Democratic party has
always expressed adherence.
These are, first. a monopoly. Ours
is the only market in which foreign
belligerents and many neutrals can
trade. To this, and to this alone, the
country owes its tremendous trade
balance in our favor. 1t Is some
thing which we did not create and
which we cannot escape from-even
IL Secretary Redfield does talk as
though he had invented 1t.
The second of these favorable con-
ditions is that the European war has
established, automatically and with
g.. line of legislation, tariff which
Is practically prohibitive-a tarif
wall behind which our manufactur-
ers can carry on their business alb
solutely secure from the competi-
tion of the highly organized industri-
alism of Germany and Austria, and
freed IN large measure from compe-
tition with the producers among the
allied belligerents, whose main activ-
tiles are for the time being devoted
TO warfare.
This condition, had the Republi-
cans remained in power, would have
been secured by legislation. The
Democrats, however, legislated diff
ferently, and when the war began
our producers were graphing with
the most intense and disastrous for
eign competition which this country
has ever experienced. Along came
the war with it's automatic tariff"
and much of this competition was re-
moved. Enough of 1t remains, never
theless, to cause great hardship in
many lines of industry, and when the
war is over and the automatic tar

there will be but one means of de-

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
How tho Pineal Gland May Cure Back
ward Children.
By DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBERG.
A. b. M. a, NJ. D. .(John Hopkins).

How the Pineal Gland May Cure Back
ward Children.
Situated as if 1t were the third eye
of a cyclops, in the forepart of the
gray matter, and connected by two
little strands to the so-called "optic
thalamic" of the brain, is tiny hol-
low globule-the pineal gland-about
the size of pea, of a pale, yellow
ish hue. This is the little gland once
thought by Descartes and other
philosophers to be the scat of the
soul.
Modern science, equally in error,
regards the pineal body as the rem
nant of an undeveloped third eye.
Psychologists, however, have rather
discredited the doctrine OF evolution,
and by experiments have shown that
the strange little gland exerts a
marked influence over all the other
tissues of the human skeleton, par
ticularly mental and sexual growth.
DR.. Carey Pratt McCord, of De-
troit, has just undertaken a series of
experiments with small animals,
which Indicate beyond cavil that
pineal gland substance from cattle,
given as food, causes precocious de-
velopment of young animals.
Chickens, puppies, calves and guinea
pigs to the number of 1903 were given
pineal glands as food. The first es-
sential result of the experiment was
to show that pineal glands taken
from grownup creatures are of little
or no value.
Experiments on Young Animals.
Pineal gland substance however,
taken from calves and young animals
yielded at once very important re-
suits The young creatures fed with
young glands grew and matured rap
idly and acquired the full weight and
sexual development of adults in a
few weeks time.
Strange to say, the instant the
young guinea pigs or other animals
became thus full grown and parental,
the pineai gland lost it's effects. Al
though DIR. McCord tried hard, he
could not produce giants or other eX-
traordinary creatures. The extract
from the pineal gland seems potent
only to produce precocity and full de-
velopment in a short space of time
Besides feeding the gland, and In
order to escape the action of pepsin
and other engines of the stomach
and liver, hypodermic injections of
pineal glands from lambs were ad-
ministered to forty eight animals.
There was no great advantage mani
fest in this method over mouth feed
ing, hence the pineal gland may be
given as a medicine in the food.
Offspring Much More Robust.
Mother animals, fed young pineal
glands. gave birth to their offspring
earlier than others not so fed. More
over, the mothers thus fed with the
pineal glands of veal brought forth

paper, but he also had the editorial
mind He was the most patiently In
quisitive man, using that word In
it's best sense, whom I have ever
known. 1t was his view that any man
of high or low station has some in
formation of value TO communicate.
He was an earnest seeker aftef
knowledge associated with the devel-
opment of great business. Everything
that he accumulated in that way he
stored away in his memory, feeling
sure that the time would come when
he could make good and appropriate
use of the information. His memory
in that respect was marvellous and
he had instant command of 1t. This
explains the frequent and very felici
tous Illustrations or anecdotes or
facts of which he made copious use
in his addresses and in his sermons.
He was o close student of nature.
His mind was always active. 1t was
both receptive and creative. He had
a wonderful capacity for assimilating
facts and getting the meaning Of
them.
This quality regard as an essen
tial one for a very great journalist.
Moreover, Mr.. Moody had wonder
full gift for rapid and yet comprehen-
sive reading. His field was a very
broad one and he never read book
without mastering it. treasuring up in
his memory all that ii contained
which was worth remembering. This
too, is a characteristic of the great
journalist. These are the reasons,
why have long felt that If he had
taken up the vocation of Journalist
he would have become one of the
great ones.'

THE PRESIDENTS EXAMPLE.

President Wilson sets example in going from
Washington to Princeton to vote in his party pr-
mary that should duly impress the minds of the
business and others who habitually neglect to
fulfil this duty Of citizenship The President is
whemed with cares and responsibilities that of
supreme Importance to the nation, but deeming his
duty citizen to be paramount to all other duties
he takes the time and trouble to to Princeton to
perform 1t.
And what keeps the average delinquent voter
the primary? Sheer Indifference for thing,
and very largely some comparatively unmportant
matter of private business; unwillingness to make
the effort perhaps in the idea that voting
at primary is derogatory TO personal dignity Ana
there is still the idea exant that the primary doesn
amount to anything. President Wilson's example
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-09-28

Dwight L. Moody would have
made very great ournalist If he had
chosen that vocation" said Henry w.
Rankin, a summer resident of East
orthfield-Moody's home-to me
when he was telling me some of his
"reminiscences associated with his re-
lations with Mr.. Moody and members
of the Moody family. Mr. Rankin has
earned and deserved a fine reputation
with those who know him by reason
of his scholarship, especially in the
field Of English literature and the
Greek classics. 1t may have been
this in part which brought him into
intimate relations with Mr.. Moody
and before the death of Mr.. Moody s
mother into pleasant companionshlp
with her.
1 was anxious to know why Mr..
Rankin was convinced that Moody
would have made a great Journalist
had he chosen that vocation.
I'm the first place" said Mr.. Rankin
in reply, Moody was gifted with ex-
traordinary business capacity, and In
these later days it seems to be essen
tial that a great journalist be not
only mastery editor, but also a very
capable business man.
'~rhe creation and organization Of
the great institutions with which his
name is identihed-the seminary for
girls at East Northfield and the in
stitute for boys at Mount Hermon,
three or four miles distant, are suffi-
cient proof of Mr.. Moody's business
ability. Those who were associated
with him in his evangelical work here
and there gained knowledge or which
the public knew little Of his capacity
for organization.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The brusque ''hurry-up, got but a
moment to catch train explosive
air of demand for billion-doliar
loan recalls a business mans actual
experience with a would-be borrower.
''Yes, this is our time for laying
in special stock, and as we are
little shy of ready cash, would like
to + low a few hundred dollars for
a couple of months or so. 1t would
be a great accommodation, you
know"
oh, yes, we knew, truly knew
Upon being asked why he didn't
shove his note into his own bank
and have 1t discounted. He dis
tressingly sighed, and with deep con-
viction replied: why, don't you
know that you can't get dollar from
the banks? They are tighter than
drum heads"
Upon being positively assured that
there wasn't any personal inclination
to loosen up any special drum-heads
upon that especial occasion, he sud-
denly forgot the lightning express
and veered to hay wagons, or any
thing else en- route, even graciously
offering to wait couple of weeks, If
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-09-28

needs be, when possibly it might be
more convenient
Upon further assurance that even
hay wagons were out of commission
he departed.
CHANGING sometime later upon an
other party, who, having fallen for
the lightning express, and had, as he
expressed It, unfortunately come
across" he was sadly wondering
where it would end-having forgotten
the good old business rule THAT
without absolute security one should
never loan more than one could af-
ford to lose-whether in friendship,
or business relationship
The above is written in connection
with a placard on the desk: do not
loan any money. If you do, you will
not only lose the money, but get the
rankest of ingratitude and abuse in
return The placard, having once
fallen upon the floor, and forgotten,
was followed by subsequent loan
confirming the necessity of the
/ placard's constant use.
But the billion dollar loan scheme,
however, is a different proposition,
opening up wonderful possibilities in
many directions. For instance in the
matter of tax arrearages. Why
wouldn't 1t be good scheme for
municipalities to loan delinquents a
sum equal to their arrearage and then
upon the repassing of the money
loaned back through the wicket to
give receipted tax bills, thus saving
the city cost of advertising the de-
linquent list, with all that tumble OF
amounts, cost of collection and time
now taken by the clerkship in figuring
up interest, etc.? Such a scheme
would not only wipe out costly press
columns, but further save the feel
! ings of those now deeply grieved by
their publication. BUSINESS.

LESSON FoR THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Many National Guard officers of this State at
tended the of the New York city National
Guard division in Van Cortland Park last Saturday
and admired this fine exhibit of New York's citizen
soldery They knew that the ten thousand men of
all arms that made this creditabe display not by
any means the equal of regular soldiers and would
need a period of hard drill and seasoning, with some
considerable wedding out, before being fit to face
invading army. But they recognized great advance
in organization, discipline and drill from the average
conditions of the National Guard in this country, and
they got ideas that be utilized in the New Jersey
National Guard.

offspring one-third larger than the
others.
The father animals were equally
large, robust and fully developed
when so fed Indeed, the power of
the pineal gland in augmenting vi
tallty, weight, mental alertness and
yigor was about equally great for
both male and female animals.
The animals eXperimentally inves-
tigated gave seemingly complete evil
dence to show that pineal glands may
be advantageously used upon chill
dren, when for their ages they are
seXually, physically or mentally be-
low par.
1t remains to be seen whether
equally important uses can be found
incidentally among human creatures
Tor the ptneal gland. The dry extract
has already been used for backward
children with occasional success.
These experiments would seem to
point to that practice and method os
correct.

RELATED BATHHousE CONSTRUCTION.

The contractor for the West Side public bath
oitered in carrying out his contract for many months
and, although there penalty in his contract he
was not penazed, although his remissness kept the
public from the of the bath entire summer The
architect for the Side public bath has seemed to
be preoccupied by other work, for it has been
sary for the Board of Health hospital committee to
notify him to "get the job or off of it."
1t is always observed that private building con-

there is a for this difference. Any excuse by
the architect contractor in the latter case is ac-
cepted and there never is penalty paid. On the

What Gives the Monroe Doctrine VI
tally.
From the Sioux City Iowa Tribune.
What is to prevent any European
power, Immediately after the war is
over, or at any more remotely subse-
quent time, from stepping into Mexico
upon the ground that such action is
necessary for the protection of that
country's interests?
What is to prevent any European
power, at any future time from as
suming control, suzerainty or outright
possession of any Central American
or South American country?
lnstinctively, due to years of Amer
ican teaching, comes the reply, the
Monroe doctrine, which forbids such
action by any European power" But
the Monroe doctrine is strictly an
American political policy. 1t has no
standing in international law, no
legitimacy in any court of inter
national arbitration, no passports
even to The Hague. No European
nation has ever accepted it, and
France, Austria, Germany and Great
Britain have challenged it in vary
ing degrees.
If any European nation should see
fit to violate the Monroe doctrine by
extending it's authority or dominion
in the western hemisphere it is a
question which this nation could not
submit to arbitration. for the reason
that no international court would up
hold the bare, bald ipse dixit of

Today, with the first appearance of
step has been taken towards the mill
lennium in Newark since Charley Gil
len made shaving obligatory for the
jitneymen. To guide the destinies of
our local populace but once a week
has not proved sufficient for The
Bugle, as on those days when its
warning note was not uttered Alfy
Dalrymple has predicted the victory
of the organization Republicans at
the primaries and Frank Crissey has
dropped blobs of ink on marriage
licenses and been forced to make them
out all over again.
By appearing daily The Bugle as
sures the expansion and continued
prosperity of our city from the boun-
daries of Fred Sadler's Bloomfield
to the uttermost limits of Theo Fet-
fingers Clinton Hill. Although the
makeup of The Bugle has undergone
a change and its confines are mar
rover, the matter that fills its col
umns, our readers may be certain, will
be as broad-minded as ever.
1t was with no thought of malice
that today was chosen as the date
for the initial issue of The Bugle as a
daily. That the primaries will be
overshadowed by the momentous oc-
and many residents in their
delirious joy will forget to vote is no
fault of ours The primaries should
have been moved up or postponed

and beneficial event in the
249 years of Newarle's existence.

There are two good reasons why
everybody should exert himself to
save q little more money now than
commonly. A purely selfish reason is
that saving now counts more than
saving during ordinary times. A dol
lar saved now will yield larger returns
than dollar saved two or three years
ago, and more probably than a dollar
saved two or three years in the
future. Money saved now can be in
vested with as much safety as is
humanity achievable 50 as to bring
in ( per cent or more. A few years
ago savings invested in securities of
similar strength would yield only per
cent. When this war is over the world
is going to be very poor. Persons who

Another reason for saving now Is that
it is the best thing noncoanbatart
can do to help the world from the
fate that is being brought upon 1t by
the war. Accumulated savings are che

The accumulated savings OF the world,
