Real Mental Discipline,

A mind is disciplined, not by rea-
son Of the quantity of related or I'M
related matter that has been displayed
before 1t, or crammed into it, but when
it has learned to confront the difficult
with intrepidity, relying upon methods
Of attack which it knows it can use
with dexterity and precision because
it has been using them right along,
and which are in the available kit Of
tools just as the carpenters saw and
chisel lie in his chest sharp and ready
for the grip Of his hand. Mental dis
cipline rs a matter of the quality of
instruction, and the quality Of the
mental application demanded by the
instructor, rather than of the guam
tity of subjects presented. Hence a
few proper subjects In qualified hands
are enough to make a start with

LOCAL OPTION
RULING UPSET
Elections in Several Places In
valid Decision Affirmed
BIZ Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, Nov. 1S:-Eight local
option elections which resulted in
dry victories were upset by the
Court of Errors and Appeals yester-
day in opinions handed down, prior
to the opening of the November term
of court here today. The elections
were in Montclair, East Orange, Cald-
well, Roselle, Dunellen and Dover in
North Jersey and in Northampton
Township and Palmyra in Burlington
county, South Jersey. The elections
had all previously been declared In
valid by the Supreme Court because
soldiers and sailors were not afforded
a proper opportunity to register their
opinions in the elections, and the
Court of Errors affirmed those deci-
sions.
The attacks were originally made
on the dry" victories in the Supreme
Court by the VETS on the ground
tina the service men of the commu-
mites where the elections were held
did not have the proper chance to
vote. Also the question of whether
proper notice of the elections was an
issue in several of the cases. Consti-
t~utionality of the local option law,
previously upheld, was talso raised in
several instances, but not taken judi
cial notice of by the highest court in
Its decisions of yesterday, that al
ready having been decided.
Victory for the "wets" In these
cases comes too late to be of much
substantial value, inasmuch as war
time prohibition is now in force.

APPLY FOR WRIT
N LOCAL CASE
Case Of David Diamond Taken to
Supreme Court

An application for a writ of GER
tiorari to review an order of Judge
BENJAMIN b. Smith of the Asbury
Park District Court, in the case OF
David Diamond VS.. Paul A. Taylor,
former Mayor of Belmar, was made
today to Supreme Court Justice
Kalish by Jacob S. Karkus OF TINS
city.
The suit originally started when Dia-
mond sued Taylor for damages as
the result of breach of contract. AT
that time Diamond sent Taylor an Of
fer by mall in which he agred to IN
stall glass in a certain building OF
Taylor's and the latter accepted the
order in O. letter which he mailed 10
Diamond. Before this letter reached
Diamond, however, Taylor ~telephoned
him and told him not to consider his
mailed answer as he had changed MS
mind. The Judge in Asbury Park held,
however. that a contract was entered
into as soon as the letter vas malled
and the telephone call could not re-
woke 1t. A Judgment of $1S5 was rem
dered for the plaintiff.
Ten days after the rendering OF TINS
Judgment Harry r. Cooper, City AT
torney of Belmar and attorney for
Tavlor. applied for a writ to show
cause why a new trial could not be
held. The court denied his appllca-
ton. After the lapse Of thirty days
Cooper made another application. TINS
time the court granting his request TOT
q new trial.
Mr.. Karkus contends in his appll-
cation for a writ of certiori that Judge
Smith lost his jurisdition in the matter
after thirty days had expired from
the time the judgement was originally
rendered and that the judge had no
right to order a new trail.

LONDON, Nov. 1S:-Commenting
upon reservations to the Versailles
treaty by the United States senate
and President Wilson's threat to
withdraw the pact, the Chronicle,
which is supposed some times to re-
fleet the view of Premier Lloyd
George, says unless the league is to
fall altogether other nations must go
ahead for some years without Amer
ica's participation, and we hope they
will promptly decide to do so.
Great Britain and France have
been very anxious not to hurt Amer
lean susceptibility and there Is no
foundation for the rumor suggesting
they have addressed representations
to Washington regarding r~eserva-
tion," the newspaper continued. In
justice to our own peoples and Eur
ope. however, we cannot delay in get
ting to work with the league"
