A FULL HOUSE.

Congress soon will face the men,
bership problem. This is owing to
the increase in population. The pres
ent basis of apportionment is
representative to every 2I1,S77 OF
population. The increase. IL made.
will give the lower house fifty mem
bers more than it now has.
Already is the House unwieldy. A
few leaders transact the business, and
by reason of this fact many districts
are represented by rubber stamps. A
House of ASS members will have an
even larger proportion of rubber
stamps. Also. the larger the House
the less chance of persuading really
big men to become members.
The increase would be in Califor-
mia (5), New York (4), Ohio ca,
Pennsylvania (D. Michigan ca.
Illinois (S), Texas (3). Massachu-
sets (2), New Jersey CD. North
Carolina (2), and one each for seven
teen other states. II the apportion-
ment figure is increased there will be
many states with fewer representa-
tives in the next congress, with the
ten states enumerated having smaller
increases than suggested above.
There are many students OF con-
g~ressional work who believe a House
of not over 200 members would be
the ideal law-making body. This. of
course, would mean a reduction In
membership for at least two-thirds Of
the states. 1t is hardly possible that
such a drastic cut can be carried
through congress. for a majority OF
the representatives would have to
legislate their own jobs out of exis-
tence.
But one thing Is certain: Congress
cannot go on increasing the member.
ship with every Isl increase and
continue giving the nation the best
in legislative effort. A halt must be
called somstime. Why not now?

DO YOU LOVE TREES?
BY DIR. JAMES I. VANCE

What a wonderful thing a tree is!
Think Of how a tree comes into
being. One day a tiny seed falls
into the lap of mother earth. Rest
ing its tired cheek on her warm
breast, it falls asleep, and when it
wakes, the miracle of being has
been wrought, the door of destiny
has swung wide, and the world OF
light and sunshine and song is call
ing.
infallible instinct it feels out and
finds what it needs. It gathers food
from the soil. 1t draws ~sustenance
from the rocks. 1t drinks from
stream and sky. 1t captures and
imprisons the sunshine until its
garments are living green. 1t bows
TO the wind and bends to the storm
and bushes under the warm gaze of
the ardent sun. Through all this 1t
| grows tall and strong and lusty.
spreading it's branches to bless the
earth, and lifting its head to salute
the heavens.
Think of how a tree serves. The
birds come and build their nests in
it's boughs. Any bird that wants ia
may come, for the gospel of the tree
| is. "Whosoever will may come"
| The beasts of the field, the cattle
| and the sheep, and tired men from
| the noisy town come to rest in Its
| shade. And when its fruit grows
to luscious ripeness, it says: Take,
eat" and if you will not take. it will
| of it's own accord drop its bounty
into your hand, for the tree lives to
serve.
Think of how a tree suffers. II
| bares it's head to the tempest. 1t Is
exposed to the ice and snow. 1t Is
assailed by the stormwind, and its
bruises and broken branches bleed
Then when the woodman drives
the keen edge of his axe into its
heart, the tree gives it's life to feed
his fire.
Think of how responsive a tree is
Nothing leaves it the anne 1t re-
spends to the changing seasons II
stores up in itself the record OF
every experience. and draws a circls
around its heart for each year IL
lives. 1t carries to it's grave the
kiss of every sunbeam. the baptism
of every raindrop, the caress OF
every kind, the blow of every thun-
| derbolt.
Think of how a tree binds tbs
world together. Successive genera
tons have had the same tree for q
friend.

"In a minute" were the words

She had a beautiful canary that

RlPPLlNC RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.


I've lived about a hundred years,
and as / lived I looked around; and
in the course of time, my dears,
some chunks of wisdom I have
found. I've found that kindness al
ways pays; II smoothes the path we
have to tread. and takes much an
guish from our days, and lulls us
when we 60 to bed. Speak kindly of
1.-The man next door; he'll hear the
unkind things you've said, and they
may make his spirit sore, 81 he will
come and punch your head. Speak
kindly of the %grocer's clerk, who
stung you when you bought some
rice; he's wearied by his grinding
work, and so got balled up IN the
price. Speak kindly of all men who
pass; they need kind words to make
them glad: they're trying hard to
cut their grass. and hands are tired
and hearts are sad. My life has
been a joyride great, because I hate
no man on earth, and in the cheap
est kind of skate I try to find some
signs of worth. I have about a mil
lion friends, who smile upon me
when we meet, and when my little
journey ends, my funeral will be a
treat. The boys will boost me on
that day, not for the silly rhymes /
grind, not for my wreath of fragrant
hay, but for the fact that 1 was kind.

NOT SUSTAINED BY FACTS.

No person in the city, not eve the
doctors. come into more intimate re-
lations with the poorer class of peo-
pile than the city nurses. This in
cludes the nurses working under the
Board of Health. the Red Cross
Home Department, the public school
nurses and the assistant to the over
seer of the poor. These nurses are
especially trained to go into the
homes and help the mothers. They
will take care Of the sick, often assist
in the housework where the mother
is unable to do It herself. and in
many instances, they virtually be-
come a member of the family.
The purpose of these nurses is to
instruct the mothers especially in the
bringing up of children. Having the
opportunity for close observation
along this line, any cases of women
being drunk or of mothers feeding
booze 10 children would quickly come
under their observation. When the
EVENING NEWS questioned these
nurses along this line yesterday they
all were quite positive in declaring
that no case of mothers and babies
being drunk. or even of indulging in
home brew had come to their no.
.tice.
Miss Alma Widerstrom, who has
been a most efficient and conscien-
tious workers in the department of
the overseer of the poor for a great
many years, declares that not only
is there little or no intoxication
among women and children in this
city. but that since the Volstead law
went into effect there has been a
decided improvement in the homes
that were otherwise kept continually
in distress because of drunken
fathers. Yet DIR. w. E. Ramsay, the
Democratic candidate for congress,
in his canvas for votes, tries to
make his audiences believe that the
Volstead act has actually destroyed
the family life.
Today the EVENING NEWS pub
fishes interviews with a number of
insurance agents who deal in the
industrial form of insurance and
who visit the homes of the poorer
classes every week collecting the
small payments on insurance poll
cies. These agents know when
children are born, they insure the
babies, they become the advisers of
a great many of their policyholders;
few people. indeed. come in closer
contact with these families or know
them more intimately. These insur-
ance agents. with one accord. de-
clare that they have never found any
such condition in the homes of the
poorer classes as DR.. Ramsay so
wildly describes.
Under these circumstances 1t
would seem as If DR.. Ramsay had de-
graded his city about enough. We
are all aware that this is not a model
city. Things are bad enough when
we stick to the facts. But 1t is
rather humiliating to have deroga-
tory statements made about the city
when there is really no foundation
for them. The city is being given a
bad reputation for the purpose of
trying to advance the candidates
selfish interest at the election. The
situation becomes all the worse
when 1t is the women and babies of
the community that are being ex-
plotted.
Truly. If DR.. Ramsay wants to get
votes at all in his home town 1t Is
time for him to change his methods
of campaigning. He owes 1t to the
city to undo some of the harm he
has already done Perth Amboy by

HEALTH ADVICE
Only Measles,

Among n letters received Dy tHe
Information Editor is one which
reads: Some friends of r have
IA child a year old with a mild attack
of measles. Shall we take our child,
who has never had the measles, to
visit the one who is i'll, in order that
he may take it and have II over with,
especially as it seems to be a mild
case?"
NO, From a mild case" a severe
case may be contracted. and In ex-
posing your child to measles you are
not only exposing it to that disease
but to others which often accompany
or follow it, such as bronchitis and
pneumonia.
The number of deaths from measles
reported from thirty states in 1918
was $500, and this number does
not include those from the other dis
eases which were brought about as
a direct result of the attack of
measles.
As this number represents only
thirty states, it is safe to that
over 10000 deaths occur each year
in the United States from "ONLY

l have a birthmark on my chest
that Is tan in color and looks
what like a wart. 1t grows every
year. 1t has grown from my chest
over on to my left arm. Could 1t be
removed?
A. Everything will depend On the
nature of the birthmark. Some Of
these can be removed by proper treat
ment. In many cases, however, moth
ing can be done. By all means ask
your family physician to refer you
to some experienced skin specialist.

Catarrh or The Head.
@. Kindly inform me what to use
for buzzing and singing noises in the
ears. 1t affects only at nighttime or
when lying upon the couch.
A. Buzzing and Staging noises in
the ears are usually the result of an
Inflammation in the internal part OF
the ear, and this, in turn. commonly
comes from chronic catarrh in the
head. The condition is often success
fully treated. but usually requires the
services of a nose and throat spe-
cialist. The trouble may sIbside
