Match Box Is Tricky.

Do this trick before a mirror and
you will actually surprise yourself. Al
though exceedingly simple. 1t is very
perplexing to the onlooker. Take an
ordinary match box and lay 1t fiat on
the back Of your hand. At your COM
mand 1t will "sit up" or '1ie down"
Moreover, 1t will accomplish the task
slowly or rapidly at your own will.
No threads. wires, wax or weights are
used. Nothing but your hand and the
match box. Try 1t as you read this:
When placing the box on the back
Of your hand have the drawer open
just the slightest bit. Push 1t togeth-
er with the fingers of the hand that
is placing the box. This will cause
a bit of the loose skin to catch in. The
box viii lie perfectly fiat until you
push your closed-up fingers into your
palm. The slightest strain will tight
en- the skin and the little box full Of
matches will gradually rise up in the
most amusing manner.
To have 1t 'lie down." merely relax
the pressure. AS you do this not a
muscle or vein will move. Only the
slight pinch feeling Of the skin will
keep you from fooling yourself.

ses. 70 Depend on Oneself.

A western philosopher has said that
swhen a man succeeds, lie Goes 1t In
spite Of everybody, and not with the
assistance Of everybody" When a man
makes venture much out of the ordi-
nary, he ia opposed by about everybody
connected with him by relationship or
friendship. His enthusiasm must be
great enough to cause him to go on lin
spite of everybody"
While the shoe is still wet, apply the
oil or grease, rubbing it In with swab
of wool, or better still, with the palm
of the hand. After treatment, the
shoes should be left to dry in a warm
but not In hot place. Castor oil Is
recommended for shoes that are to be
polished. For palmer footgear, fish oil
and Oleine or any one of the less ex-
pensive oils may be substituted with
very good results.

provision that liquor cannot be sold
on the premises. The social plane is
also somewhat elevated, but in both Of
these particulars there will be a depre-
citation II prominence to be allowed
to interfere with justice. Prosecutor
Kelsey has taken notice of this matter
and he does not propose to let the case
rest in the shape it now appears to oc-
cupy. He will notify the officers and
Others who have information on the
subject to report the facts to him. II
this is not done the prosecutor will put
the matter up to the grand jury. He
does not recognize one class above an
other in his line Of duty. We dc
not know who are involved in this
case but these remarks are made on
the basis that there is not any reason
why the boy who is not so fortunate tc
be prominent" should be made tc
come under the law, while the boy
"higher up" is allowed to go free.

LAUGHED IN WRONG PLACE
London Theater Managers Waxed In
dIqnant Over Behavior Of George
Bernard Shaw.

After Shaw had been working with
me for some time on the Saturday
Review, writing the dramatic crit
cisms each week, which are better
than perhaps the best of Leasing,
began to receive complaints about
him from theater managers, says
Frank Harris In Pearson's Magazine.
answered them laughingly. Two
or three of them called ON me one
day and told me that Shaw was i'm
possible.
HE comes to the theater dressed
In tweeds, you know" said one; "and
looks awful"
HE is so conspicuous" said an6th-
er. 'sTall and gaunt with that un-
kempt red beard of his"
= "You ought to thank your stars that
he goes to your theater at ALL" re-
piled. 81 certainly shall not instruct
him how to clothe himself"
II should not mind his Dress" said
a third; what, l object to is that
he always laughs In the wrong place.
1t Is dreadful when a favorite actor
Is saying something very pathetic or
sentimental to see great figure in
gray stretch himself out In the front
stalls and roar with laughter"
II know" said, grinning, land the
worst of 1t is that all the world laughs
with Shaw when he shows them the
unconscious humors of your perform
ance."

In ONE of the columns of the Bor-
dentown Register there is an article
headed Don't spread idle gossip"
Just above this item is another touch
ing upon cleanup" of the city.
After reciting cases that seem to need
attention the Register makes this
sweeping assertion: "And last, but not
least, to make some attempt at clean
ing up the immoral houses which are
known to exist and which are q con-
slant source of danger to visiting
soldiers and the youth Of the city,
This is q plain statement and with the
advice not to spread idle gossip the
Register must be in possession of facts
which should be brought directly to
the attention Of the authorities-city
or county. In every community
there are places which are more or less
under suspicion. but when the charge
is made Of immoral houses that are
known to exist" all traces Of suspicion
ere removed. In its issue of Friday the
Register followed its previous state
ments on the line we have suggested.
Without any fear the editor gave suf-
ficient material for the city commits
sioners to act. Places that needed
watching and persons who seem to
have no fear of the law were indicated.
The Register has done its duty in the
matter and it is up to the authorities
TO take action.

WHATEVER may be the outcome Of
the contest for United States Senator
30 far as Governor Edge and former
Governor Stokes are concerned, there ID
one item that the people of this section
want clearly defined and that is who is
to be supported for president OF the
State Senate. There is no Disgusting
the fact that the prospect of having
Senator Richards, of Atlantic, made
the presiding officer of the Senate,
with the possibility OF his be-
coming acting Governor, is not at
all pleasing to great many OF the
people, not only in Burlington county
but in South Jersey generally. and this
feeling extends to supporters sof
Governor Edge. In this county there
il feeling that our Senator Wells was
not fairly treated In being pushed aside
for leader Of the Senate, and it will re.
quirs much proof to show there was
not political deal in that action.
Governor Edge is said to have given
definite announcement that he will not
make prohibition a part OF his cam
paign. That question having been
settled by Congress- he claims it does
not enter the Senatorial contest. Hay.
ing disposed Of this part of the subject
1t would be pleasing to many to have
him announce his ideas on having
Senator Richards put in position to
become the head OF the state, even
though 1t be for few weeks.

TUESDAY, APRIL 80, 1918

ONE Of the political disappoint-
ments Of the last week was the an
nouncement in several papers that
former Governor Stokes had decided
not to be candidate for United States
Senator. His many friends in South
Jersey and North Jersey as well-for
he IL not man with only sectional
frisndships-ars very sorry that he is
to be deprived OF q chance to realize an
ambition Of long standing. He has
been staunch supporter Of the Repub-
lican party and has given his time to
the interests OF that party when it has
been to his personal disadvantage.
He accepted the nomination for Cover
nor when it was conceded from the
staff that defeat was more certain than
victory. But he entered the battle
and did his best to keep the party Or
ganization intact. He succeeded in
that purpose but he, personally. SUI
fsrsd. Under all circumstances of past
fidelity 1t would SEEM as II he should
b given the chance to be the party s
choice from South Jersey, for there is
little doubt what the result would be il
he had bssn given the field against
the men in the upper part of the state
who are seeking advancement. He
would make m able representative for
the state in the upper halls of Congress
and in company with Senator Freling-
huyssn would place this state among
the highest on the list.
The announcement of Mr.. Stokes
withdrawal seems to have come from
some who do not want him in the race.
The whole statement appears to have
emanated from some Of the friends oil
the former Governor who were told by
the latter that they were at liberty t.
support whoever suited them best
Many OF these people wanted to get
into the Edge camp and Governor
Stokes gave them perfect freedom in
the matter. In letter published by
him last week he said: Everybody
seems to be talking for me. I hay,
nothing to say about the matter.
