has improved and enlarged with each
generation of miracle-mongerS. As the
legend goes st. Patrick is declared to
have announced that he would per-
form the miracle OF a~bolishing snakes
on n certain date, n from the crest
of the highest hill in Ireland. A great
crowd gathered at the appointed time
and place. When the drummer beat
his call to service on the famous drum
he waxed so enthusiastic hat he
broke the drum head-and the pes
simists at the party thought he had
ruined the plan-because much of h
saints miraculous power was thought
to reside in the drum. When the &C
cident happened it is reported that q
large black snake was seen gliding
down the hill, with a look very much
like Il grin. But, says legend. an an

Anti-sufCrage women oI -tea Jersey
have written to Governor Edge. re-
questing that he vote against the fed
cral amendment granting women the
ballot when he enters the United
States senate. The letter WAS drafted
at n meeting of the New Jersey Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
held in Newark. Monday. II is sign
ed by Mrs. Carroll +. Bassett, of Sum
init, the president of the organization.
The letter is as follows:
THE State OF New Jersey at a
special election in 1915 defeated
woman suffrage by n majority OF
51.IOS and thereby declared that the
voters of the state were opposed to
this change being made in the cleo
toratc.
In the recent election in November.
1913, Ii voters again expressed their
unwillingness to accept such a change.
The Republican party having adopted
a plank in their platform to ratify the
federal amendment, and this plank
having also been a separate plank
; adopted by the Essex county delega-
! ton, what has happened? All of the
Essex county delegation went down
60 defeat. The Republicans of New
Jersey lost two congressman and six
| teen assemblymen, thereby causing u
tie in the assembly. New Jersey. al
I ways a Republican state, lost ground
in o year when in other states the
swing was toward the Republican
party.
Furthermore. the sentiment against
the federal suffrage amendment was
shown in the election of Senator
David Baird. whose vote against the
amendment in the senate was made
the issue in his campaign by Presi-
dent'Wilscn. The voters of New Jer-
sey have upheld the stand of Senator
Baird that this is a question of states
rights. and not for federal action.
We therefore respectfully request
that when This question comes before
, you in the United States senate, that
you will expfeas h viii OF the voters

The women base their right to
make the request TO Senator-elect
Edge on the ground hat New Jersey
! gave a majority of 51.10S against
woman suffrage when the question
came before the voters on referendum
in 1915.

Everybody celebrates St Patrick's
Day-but few of us know WHY.
Only a tru Irishman can tell you
why he wears a shamrock, or give you
the origin of st. Patrick's claim to the
right of hero of one of the earliest
and biggest SNAKE stories" in world
history
Only Mother Ewes snake is more
famous than the snakes of st. Pat
rick!
st. Patrick's Day is a "foine, large
holiday" and even if ones name ends
in berg, or ski it's the proper thing
to wear a green bow, eat potatoes and
tell the latest Irish Joke on the seven
tenth Of March.
Nobody is quite sure whether March
IT is st. Patrick's birthday or the an
siversary of his death. Some say it's
both! There is a great conflict of op-
inions as to st. Patrick's birth date but
n best authorities say it was 3S6 A.
ID. in the village of Nemphthur. nea
Glastonbury. England.
One of the favorite legends regard
ing st. Patrick is that he drove the
snakes out OF ireland, n story that has
lived longer than the truth itself-aEd

Bad weather conditions prevailed
during tho fight across the Bay OF
Biscay. Nevertheless, the NC-4 kept
to her course perfectly, and the trip
from Fcrrol was made ut an average
speed Of about seventy miles an boar.
Before alighting in the sound the

Flight Ouer Pole
Halls for Money

The Roosevelt Memorial Arctic Elk
petition, which was to have started If
June for extensive Arctic exploration
including flight across the top of the
world, seems doomed for lack OF finan.
cial backing.
Captain Robert A. Bartlett, com.
mander of the Arctic ship Roosevelt
in both the Peary expeditions to The
North Pole, and captain of the Karlul
in the Macmillan Relief Expedition
had made all the arrangements for the
expedition At the eleventh hour, how.
ever, 1T appears that his preparations
will have been in vain.
Captain Bartlett regretfully admitted
this fact yesterday. although he SAID
| there was still just chance that the
expedition might start next month. H.
declared positively, however, that he
would not undertake it as half meas.
ure.
The expedition. as originally plannat
! and announced by The Aero Club O.
America, was organized for the follow
ing purposes:
Ito explore as much as possible
OF the 100000 miles OF unexploree
arctic polar regions.
2-Io fly across the top of the worlc
from Cape Columbia, on the American
side, to Cape Chelyuskin, on the 81.
berian side.
80 conduct extensive sounding.
IN the Polar Basin and collect fora anc
fauna from the ocean bottom.
do send W sounding balloons and
explore the upper air of the polar re-
glons, gathering meteorological data
and ascertain, as far as possible
whether polar air currents affect the
weather in different parts of the world.
1t was also planned that any land
discovered in the regions to be ex-
piorcd by aeroplanes was to be named
after the late Colonel Roosevelt, as
"Rooscvelt Land"
There is a chance that as q result
OF the successful fight of the naval
seapanc fnancitl backing for the
undertaking will be forthcoming" said
Captain Bartlett yesterday in ruetul
tones, "but the outlook for this year
is not very promising
Early Start Is Necessary
"To be successful we should start in
our ship early next month in order
to be in the Arctic regions by the time
the good weather starts. Their is
only six weeks of fair weather IN those
regions during July and August, and
it would be folly to start later.
I'VE have made al our plans. The
expedition was to consist of ten men
altogether, including young pilots who
have seen service in the war. In addi-
ton to flying over the North Pole. tney
would have undertaken exploration
flights in the undiscovered Polar Basin.
This would be much better than
sleigh parties, as the airplane would
be able to fly from one pate of open
water in the ice to another. The main
fact about these open leads in the ice
is that the water is always calm.
