GOVERNOR IS CRITICIZED FOR
EMERGENCY MONEY ACTION
By specaaI corrsspOndsnt.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON. May 22:-Members of
the State Board of Institutions and
Agencies at their meeting held here
yesterday were outspoken in their
criticism of the attitude of Governor
Edwards in refusing to act upon any
emergency requests for appropria-
lions while the present legislature
continues In session.
The discussion was provoked by
the report OF Commissioner Burdette
G.. Lewis OF his action in filing with
the state house commission emer-
gency requests of the department Of
institutions and agencies totaling
S23.025. Included in this amount
was an item of $4,000 for the Glen
Gardner sanatorium for the purpose
Of purchasing food for the inmates.
the funds for this having become ex-
hausted.
The money was refused by the
state house commission. The act I'M
der which the emergency funds are
distributed, according to interpreta-
ton here, provides that the decision
to meet requests must have the
unanimous support of all members
Of the commission, who are Governor
Edwards, Comptroller Bugbee and
State Treasurer Read.
1t is understood that Mr.. Edwards
takes the position that the commits
sion has no right to make emergency
appropriations while the lawmakers
remain in session.
According to information CLEANED
at yesterdays meeting of the Board
Of Institutions and Agencies. the fail
ure to get the $4,000 for the sana-
forum probably means short rations
for the patients there until the be-
ginning of the new fiscal yea July 1.
when the regular appropriation law
becomes effective. Funds will then
be forthcoming under the money al
loted to Glen Gardner in this act.
The balance of the s23,025 re-
uuested was for the central Office of
the department, J~amesburg Home for
| Boys and the Girls Home In this city.
| Commissioner Lewis was instructed
by his board 10 take the matter up
again with the commission.

Effort Being Made
To Control
Weeds in State

A little over year ago the State
Entomologist appointed q special dep
uty for weed control. This Office was
created because of the necessity of
finding some method of control for
the whorled milkweed. There are q
number of other weed pests, such u
wild morning glory, perennial pepper
grass and foxtail, upon the direction Of
the control of which this officer might
well spend his time. The weed prob
lem deserves special study in the field
and should be attacked by the concert
ed efforts of whole communities. The
Deupty on weed control could do much
to help in the organization of this
work and in the formulation of def
mite plans of attack.
1t is the desire of the deputy to
be Of all possible sssistance on weed
problems. He is now engaged on
experiments for the chemical eradica-
ton Of whorled milkweed and is sta
toned at Paonia. While most of his
time is at present time taken up with
the milkweed work, he is now carrying
on some experiments for the chemical
eradication Of wild morning glory. The
California Experiment Station has
been very successful is using sodium
arsenite to kill this plant.
The work Of the California Station
is being in part duplicated At Paonia
to determine i: the methods used IN
the coast state are of equal value n
this state. Definite results cannot be
expected until next year, but it is
the purpose of those engaged in the
work to follow it up completely. As
information is available it will be
given to the farmers.

its your questions on weed problems.

because in many instances sufficient
study has not yet been made. Your

can come in close contact with the field
problems and be of the most assistance
to agriculture of the state. If you

Origin and
History of
Common Phrases

CAL" is an expression derived from
Lloyd's Registry Of Shipping" The
letters were used to donate the quality
of ships hull and the figures to de-
note the quality of merchandise. An
CAL" registration denoted that the
ship and its cargo were first class in
all respects.
Blood is thicker than water" is an
old English proverb which was pub
lished in collection about 1872. 1t
is derived from the fact that when
water evaporates it leaves no trace,
but this is not true of blood.
Boycott is word recently added to
the ranks of good English. During
the agrarian trouble in Ireland a GER
tain Captain Boycott refused to accent
the rents at the rates offered by the
peasants. The peasants thereupon re-
fused to have any business dealings
whatever with him. They would not
buy from him or sell to him; they re-
fused to work for him. Though he
was finally rescued from the position
in which this placed him, his name has
become an accepted term descriptive
Of similar business situation.
Cemetery is derived from the Greek
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-09-02

and means literally "a sleeping place"
Coffee is probably a corruption of
the Arabic word "kahwah." Coffee
seems to have been introduced into
Arabia about 147O A. D. Its use stirred
up fierce opposition on the part of the
strictly orthodox Mohanedans, on the
ground that it was an iatoxicant, and
as such, prohibited by the Koran; in
connection with which it may be point
ed out that kahwah in ancient Arabic
means wine. Coffee reached England
in 1852.
"Dished" is now a slang term but it
was once good English. When pro-
perty which person expected to in
herit was left to someone else, he
was said to be dished.
