New Jersey State
Chamber Of Commerce
ToBanquet OnI Jan. IS

1t was announced to-day that Hon.
Thomas N. McCarter, President of
the Public Service Corporation will
deliver the principal address at the
banquet of the Real Estate Board of
the New Jersey State Chamber of
Commerce, to be held at the Hotel
Washington, Newark, on January Is.
Messrs. Louis Schlesinger of New
ark and T. Frank Appleby of Asbury
Park who constitute the committee
on speakers have reported that in ac-
cepting the invitation to speak Mr..
McCarter emphasized the great need
in New Jersey of having definite
policy of development. He told the
committee that he had joined the
State Chamber of Commerce three
years ago with confidence that it
would eventually start a movement
of this kind and that he appreciates
the opportunity which now has been
afforded him to assist in some degree
by explaining the advantages which
Will accrue TO the pubic.
The governors of the Board in each
congressional district have had ample
evidence of the interest being taken
in this project in all parts of the
State. Not only have Real Estate
men endorsed the movement and
pledged their support, but bankers,
manufacturers, contractors, building
supply men and representatives from
other business interest have express
ed the belief that an efficient promo
ton campaign will be successful.
Director Charles F. H. Johnson
has received assurances that the
time is suspicious. New Jersey bust
ness men are not only anxious to be
shown the right road to expand and
develop their industries within the
law but they desire that instead of
other States receiving all the bene-
fits resulting from better general
conditions that New Jersey be placed
in the position to take advantage of
prosperity.

Miss Destinn Going
Back To Opera,
Kisses Mr.. Souso

Miss Emmy Destinn, prima donna
soprano sang at the weekly concert
at the Hippodrome last Sunday
night to the accompaniment of
Sousa and his band. Twice her name
appeared on the programme and be-
tween her solos a messenger arrived
from the Metropolitan Opera House
with a message which concerned her.
She has not been singing at the
Metropolitan this season but has been
devoting her time to concert work.
When the singer appeared on the
platform for the second solo, she was
accompanied by William Stewart of
the Hippodrome Company, and be-
fore she had time to sing, he an
nounced that she had been engaged
again at the Metropolitan for the re-
mainder Of this season and part of
next and was to appear there on
next Monday, as Elsa in "Lohengrin."
The audience applauded loudly at the
news and there were shouts of
Speech! Speech!
Miss Destinn seemed to be quite
happy at the announcement, but she
is a singer and not public speaker,
so she threw up her hands at the
suggestion. However, the audience
continued to applaud and she had to
do something, so she went to the con-
ductor's stand where Mr.. Sousa was
standing, baton in hand. She shook
his hand, and then before he could
move, she kissed him. In the dis
turbance Mr.. Sousa dropped his glas-
ses, but he soon recovered them and
his equilibrium, and when the ap-
plause ended he was ready to con-
duct his band through the aria
"D'Amor Sull all Rosee" from I'll
| Trovatore."
Miss Destinn was in the best of
voice. She had thrilling high tones
and beautiful low ones and she sang
with fevor and fnesse.
The band was heard in several pop
ular selections and Miss Helen De-
Witt Jacobs played violin solo. In
the intermission the Marimba band
was heard.

TROUBLE AHEAD

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The baggage problem in America has been simpler and more satis- factory, from the point of view of the travelling public, than In any other country. For this reason habitual travel CTS will view with annoyance the plan of compulsory baggage valuation, bag gage insurance baggage red tape, an nounced by the railroads under the Cum mins act Persons who are not habitual travellers, but who are occasionally pas sengers upon railroads, will view the change with positive alarm. All compli- cations attending travel are alarming to persons who are not practiced travellers All simplifications are rejoiced in by everyone who goes anywhere. America has led other countries in making it easy, from all points of view save the financial to get about. It costs more to go by train in the United States than it does in many countries, but having paid the cost the traveller is-or has been-free to for get about his baggage and enjoy his book or an idler's view of lively out-of- the window panorama.
 It is not quite clear just what benefit will accrue to anyone under the new ar rangement. The railroads, apparently, have found the established plan of bag gage carrying satisfactory That part of the public which is American born and not foreign travelled has perhaps not been fully awake to its advantages. Aineri- cans who have travelled in Europe pr the orient have returned home with a keener appreciation of the benefits of American | citizenship because of the freedom from | unnecessary detail that makes American l travel restful in comparison with travel | in countries in which 1t Is necessary to 1 enter into extended diplomatic conver-
 sations upon the question of getting a
 trunk shipped. and where it is necessary
 to sign papers-the signers death war
 the train.
 All customs or laws which have the ef-
 feet of creating difficulties, however slight which necessitate the consumption of time inquiry, bother, confusion, anx-
 ety at the railroad station, are dalhnabe | to the fustered, perspiring, harried ticket l buyer, They are doubly so to the unfor-
 tunate employe of the road whose daily 1 grind is to answer questions which ap- | ear of tremendous importance to the unaccustomed traveller, but seem sense
 less and superfuous to anyone to whom
 they are a part of the days routins. The provision of the Cummins act neces
 sitating the baggage bother seems ar
 example of pestiferous legislation owing
 it's existence to the activity of the discov
 erer of mares nests. It seems likely tt
 make bedlam in the railroad station, ant
 make travel a trial, without accomplish | ing any purpose of such importance .s tt | warrant the annoyance.

Extending Rural Delivery

Postmaster General Burleson has affected many economies in the post office department-some critics have said at the expense of efficiency. But on the whole the various branches of the service give satisfaction and there is no question about the Postmaster Generals money saving record.
 The figures show that Mr. Burleson has administered his department at less cost relatively than the most economical of his predecessors, and the public has got the benefit in the way of increased service.
 The postoffice departments recent announcement that, without curtail- ing present mail facilities, readjust- ment of rural delivery service has re- suited in a reduction of operating ex- penses amounting to $511 ,262, is of all the more interest to the public when it is stated that this sum has been used to establish 710 new rural routes, serving S2,390 additional families. Automobiles are to be used in the suburbs of some of the large cities to deliver mail to the people outside the i municipal limits the same as if they were living inside the city. Also auto mobiles are to be used in the parcel post service for delivering the pro ucts of the truck farm to customers ir town.
 Now that the great value of ths
 rural free delivery as an educationa factor in the countrys social ant
 commercial life has come to be ap preciated the wonder is how we eve
 got along without it. When Congress in the 9O's, made the first appropria tion for rural delivery the project wa regarded only as tentative. News
 paper paragraphers poked fun at tn idea of delivering mail daily to ou country cousins just as if they wer
 city folks. The appropriation in 1S9
