SERPENT OF LERNAEA.
Scientific Basis For the Myth of the
Many Headed Monster.

A noted surgeon suggests that the
story of the many headed serpent OF
Lernaca, IL a myth, is yet myth with
an altogether scientific foundation The
monster was credited with anywhere
from nine to 100 heads, ana, according
to the legend, il one was cut off an
other Immediately grew in its place
Some averred that each head was re-
placed by two.
The origin of this serpent, as well as
its acts and its final destruction by
Hercules, are entirely fanciful, of
course, but some recent Juggling in
biological laboratories seems to show
that the ancicnts may have got their
conceptions of its form and being from
what they had actually seen. Profess
or II. III. Morgan, for instance, has cut
off the anterior end of an earthworm
and excised piece of the central
nerve cord. This left the anterior
nerve ends, and head grew from
each.
DR.. Van Dyune recently. went much
further in the case of marine plana-
rian. actually developing six heads
upon the creature, each with its own
eyes and apparently normal in its
functions Exchange.

CITY PLANNING LEGISLATION
New Jerseys New Law an Aid to
N Growing municipalities.

Effective work by commercial organ
izations resulted in the enactment OF
a new law by the New Jersey Iegsla-
ture Inst April. There has been on the
statute books of New Jersey since 1919
law giving to the first and second
class cities the power to appoint mu-
nicipal planning and art commissions.
| Such power had, however, not been ac-
corded to the smaller municipalities.
Realizing the need for such legisa-
tlon for their own community. the di-
rectors of the board of public improve
ment of Madison, \. j., suggested to
the New Jersey state chamber of com
merce the desirability of cooperating
in the advocacy OF law OF this kind
AS result the state chamber of com
MERGE appointed Il committee which
drafted what was subsequently known
rs assembly bin No. 59l. When this
bill was printed by the legislature it
was accompanied by the following
statement;
I'm recognition of the need so fire.
quently apparent of more careful ad-
vance planning of future municipal im-
provements, such as streets, parks, pub
lie buildings, etc, and OF the location
and design of public buildings and pub.
lie works of art, the New Jersey state
chamber Of commerce heartily indorses
the foregoing bill and bespeaks for 1t
the favorable action Of the legislature
at the present session.
This bill gives all municipalities ex-
cept first and second class cities Qor
which similar provision has been made
by laws of 1913. chapters - and 100
the power to appoint municipal plan
aud art commissions, the members of
which are to serve without pay. Such
commissions are to act in an advisory
capacity to the local municipal govern
ments and are to have no power to in

have been provided for and covered by
appropriations previously made by the
local municipal governments
The new law was signed by Cover

it viii be of material aid to the many
small and growing municipalities in
New Jersey in controlling more efrec-
lively than heretofore their future
growth and development along ration

UTILIZE rHE POWER Ar HAND

The gigantic merger of Southern
Idaho electric power companies
means capitalization upon a scale
that will tax to the utmost the ability
of the community to pay a reasonable
return thereupon What has occurred
may be the ordinary course of Big
Business. but it places an extra and
nnwarranted tax upon the consumers.
The big company must have reason
able profit upon an investment that
consists of unnecessarily duplicated
equipments, upon the mistakes, more
or less costly, of the different com
panies that endeavored to compete
for the field, and upon thousand and
one things that are attendant upon a
method of stock manipulation instead
OF upon actual expenses incurred in
construction work.
The people of Boise have a remedy
right at hand. Some man should
come forward with foresight and capa-
city for work and utilize the power
that the government has at diversion
dam, and which will be practically
idle after the work at the big Arrow
Rock dam is completed Midsummer.
The power at the diversion dam would
furnish Boise with power for all leg
itimate purposes, and the city should
take steps to secure it. 1t will re-
quire individual leadership of high

the citizens of Boise in this matter

advanced to cure social wrongs. And

BOISE cry ELECTION

A quiet, orderly and peaceful pri-
mary election. without any untoward
event, took place in Boise Tuesday
resulting in the election Of Jere w.
Robinson as Mayor by majority of
600 over the present incumbent. Ar
thur Hodges. The result came as a
surprise to the Hodges forces, who
thought the Mayor would be an easy
victor, but Mr. Robinson's campaign
was in the hands of past grand mas
tiers in the art of carrying elections
and permitted the Mayor and his
friends to rest in fancied security
while they carried on the most quiet
and effective campaign ever conduct
ed in the city of Boise. The fact that
Hodges was up for third term had
greater weight in the scales than was
anticipated. The people of Boise and
of Ada County and of the State OF
idaho, in fact, are opposed to third
terms on general principles Mr..
Robinson is superbly equipped for the
position of Mayor and the outlook
for successful administration of the
city's affairs could not be better.
Messrs. Harrington and Davis, pres
ent incumbents, and Howard NJ. Buck
and Charles Mcconnell were nominat-
ed for the city council, and two of
these will be duly elected at the final
try-out in two weeks.
