New Jersey Holders
Must Pay Rail Fares
is Federal Ruling

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 30-The
federal railroad administration has
decided that the state law requiring
railroads in New Jersey to furnish
passes to certain oficeholders is
of no effect while Uncle Sam is
operating the railroads. Thus, after
January /, 1919, certain New Jersey
citizens will either pay fare, walk,
stay al home or board in Trenton.
The governor, state senator's,
members of the house of assembly,
Judges of the higher courts, certain
state officers other than the execu-
tives, have been entitled to these
passes, as we'll as most of the leg
islative employees. Each year the
legislature either added to or made
an effort to enlarge the list.
The passes, it is said, were used
throughout the year by many hold
ers, and were especially desirable to
the South Jersey resident who
spent his summers at the shore.
Many of the officials now commute
to Trenton on their passes.

English Are in Controversy
Over RaIeigh'S Burial Place

London, Nov. 30.-Newspapers
here have been engaged in a con-
troversy as to the location of the
burial place of Sir Walter Raleigh
in connection with the celebration
Of the 300th anniversary of his birth
Biographers of Raleigh supposed
that, after his execution, the body
was buried in the ehancel of St.
Margaret's. The Times, however,
suggests that his body was placed
there, for short time only and that
Raleigh really was buried at Bed
dinston, in Surrey, where the
widow desired that he should rest.
Raleigh's head was embalmed and
cherished by his widow in a red
leathern bagge" to. theaday of her
death. The head was afterward in
tered in the church at West Hors-
ley, in Surrey.

Big Terminal Building
Being Considered by
Chamber Of Commerce

A subcommittee has been ap'
pointed by the Chamber of Com,
merce to consider plans for an In
dustrial Terminal building. This is
to be a large modern building with
trackage and other modern conven-
fences arranged with movable. par
titions so that any part of it can be
sublet to number of small manu-
featuring concerns, thus doing away
with the overhead expense usually
encountered by a concern occupy
ing single building.
1t is thought by Chamber of Com
merce officials that it would be an
added inducement to manufacturers
to locate plants here.
The committee will investigate
the Busch terminal building in New
York, which is handled in this way;
also a large terminal building used
by many concerns in Milwaukee.
Mr.. Gillian says that both St. Louis
and Minneapolis are now consider
ing the construction of buildings to
be used for this purpose.

British army during the war. Large
numbers of them were used for

proved his grit and worth for many

EASY TO MISJUDGE CHILDREN
Youngsters Called "Stupid" in Early
Years Have Later Been Found
Possessed of Genius.

Let me remind you of the sufferings
of the stupid" child. Real stupidity
is great aff1iction, but one which
rarely receives the sympathy it stands
so much in need of. Now, many chill
dren who are thought stupid are not
stupid at all. They may have certain
defects of physical nature which can
be remedied, or their schooling and ed
ucation in general is of a kind that
is not adapted to their special needs.
If juggling with figures, enormously
called arithmetic, is made test of in
telligence, then the constructive or ar
tistic genius of child may remain IN
discovered; and if parents and teach
ers judge those children to be bright
who can, by sO-called parsing, arrange
the dead bones of the language in ar
tificial order, or who shine out from
the others by brilliant recitations and
unchildlike discussions of adult prob
lens at graduation exercises, then the
dreamer, the philosopher and the poet
will pass for ounces.
1t is only too true that many of our
greatest minds have been considered
absolute failures during their school
career, not to say in the homes of their
childhood. How many of them had to
assert their native excellency against
the most violent resistance of those
who were too blind to perceive the di-
vine spark in their children's souls?-

PERSHINC CALLS
FOR A|RPLANES
American General Asks That
Bombing Machines Be Sent
Over Promptly.
ORDER CAN Be FILLED
Secretary Baker Asserts That Request
Has Been Placed on Priority
List, Insuring Immediate
Transportation.

Pershing has asked immediate ship
ment of large number of De Haviland
bombing planes for use of the Ameri-
can forces, and the order has been
placed on the War departments prior
lty list, lnsuring prompt transportation,
Secretary Baker announced. Already
400 OF these planes have been sent to
France.
The Secretary's announcement fol-
lowed closely publication of the fact
that General Pershing had criticised
the De Haviland plane and suggested
many notifications and improvements.
There are no perfect airplanes,"
said Mr.. Baker. Improvement in the
best of them has been rapid both as to
types and as to succeeding numbers OF
the same type. This is true of the De
Haviland as of all others. The latest
machine of that type is better than the
earlier ones.'
Investigation of the criticisms of the
De Haviland planes was begun today
by the Senate military subcommittee.
Maj. H. c.. A. Muhlenberg and Capt.
R. w. Schroeder and j. M Foote, avia-
ton officers in charge of testing this
type of plane at Wright field, Dayton,
Ohio, were examined for several hours

officers. 1t was understood the Amer

URGES STICKING TO BUSINESS
Physician Asserts That Too Early Re.
tirement Of Successful Business
Men Is a Mistaken Policy.

To old men who are thinking of re.
hrlng from active business DIR. Will
liam j. Robinson, editor of the Medi-
cal Critic and Guide, gives the cele-
brated advice once rendered by
Punch ito young people about to
marry" namely, "Don'tw The coun-
sci often given to those of advancing
years, even by physicians, to take
things easier" to give up this and
give up that-in short, to lead a dull,
empty, vegetable existence, is unqual-
if1edly bad, Doctor Robinson thinks,
although. of course, there are excep-
tons and special cases. He writes !:
IAN old man with very high blood
pressure. e., high for his age
should not engage in business which
is likely to cause him great excite
ment and throw him in fits of anger:
and a man who is showing symptoms
OF senile dementia should not be in
trusted with important affairs; but,
generally speaking, there is no rea-
son why man should give up his
work or narrow the circle of his in
terests, merely because he has cele-
brated the SEVENTEEN or eightieth an
niversary of his birthday. The gen.
eral condition Of the man, his fitness,
should be the criterion, and not his
age In years. We all know that some
people at sixty are actually older
than some are at seventy or eighty.
1.-The advice to old men to retire
has sometimes, if followed, very dis.
astrous consequences. A man of sew
enty or eighty is attending to his pro-
fession or business in a satisfactory
manner, and he feels well. Suddenly
he decides or is advised to retire and
take things easy for the rest of his
days. He does-and in a few weeks
or months that man is physical or
mental wreck and ruin. AS long as
he kept up his mental interests he
was, all right. A sudden change, q
sudden vacuum, I might say, perhaps
the pernicious subcOnscious feeling
that now it is all over for him-all
that contributed to the disaster And
1t is not the physical change so much
as the mental that is the important
factor. /, for one, am sure that men,
tai activity, mental interest, has a
influence, because
mental activity stimulates many, if
not all, of our vital processes. 1t is
not mental work that ever kills; it
Is worry that does it, and even it's
baneful influence has been greatly ex-
aggerated. We know of octogena-
rians whose lives have been one round
