FAVOR INCREASE
IN MOTOR FEES
Trenton Chapter Of Engineers
Association Adopts Resolu-
ton Asking for Increase.

For the purpose ~of stimulating
efforts to bring about increased IL
cense fees for motor vehicles, n
Trenton Chapter of the American
Association of Engineers at the reg
ular monthly meeting last Friday
adoptd a resolution to this effect.
Copies of the resolution will be sent
to Governor Edwards and the chair
man of the senate and assembly
hishway committees.
In the resolution the engineers
set forth that the cost of construc-
ton and maintenance of public
highway has increased at a rapid
rate In the last few years; that the
use oil the highways is now confined
to q great extent to III motor vehi-
Gle traffic, which enjoys a proper
fionally large benefit from the use
Of The roads, and that the license
fees for motor vehicles have not
been increased in recent years in
proportion to the benefit derived by
such vehicles.
The legislature Is asked to pro-
vide a measure whereby an increase
in fees is effected so hat motor We
hicle trafic will bear a more equit-
able share of the cost of RECONSTRUCT
ton and maintenance of roads.
A resolution vas also adopted en-
dcrsing the action of the Indianap-
oils chapter and other chapters of
the American Association OF Engi-
neers requesting the national rail-
road council OF the association to
invite railroad heads of the coun-
try to a conference with representa-
lives OF the council for the purpose
OF effecting a schedule of adequate
salaries for professional engineers in
the service of the railroads. This
conference is highly desirable as
the award of the railway labor board
OF July goth. did not provide Tor
the professional railroad engineers.

lean Association OF Engineers is a
body of professional engineers with
a membership of seventy-hve at
present and is growing rapidly. Its
territory includes the counties or

of more than twenty-five thousand
engineers, with local chapters or
clubs in most of the cities through
out the United States. The objects
OF the organization are to promote
the social and economic welfare. and
raise the standards of ethics of the

NO SEPARATE PARTY
FOR BRITISH WOMEN
Lady Astor and Others Attack
Mrs. BeImont's Call to U.
S. Suffragists.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The British
women, like the greater number OF
their American sisters, do not want
a separate women's political party.
A storm of protest broke through
out England upon the heels OF Mrs.
o. III. Z. Belmont's call for such a
division in party numbers. Leaders
declared that now having won po-
Iitical freedom, they have no wish
to shackle themselves by raising a
sex barrier.
Lady Astor said:
I'VE have had several centuries OF
sex legislation and / do not think IT
has been altogether a success. am
sure that the watch-word OF the fu-
ture is cooperation, and for that rea-
son, believe, we should be going
back II we women would band our
selves into a sex party.
Mrs. Patrick Lawrence said that
the sooner women stop thinking Of
themselves as women and consider
themselves human beings the better.
Miss Margaret Bondheld. president OF
the British Trade Union movement,
and outstanding igure in the women's
labor movement in London, declared
she didn't sec why women should
want separate party when they
are in position to dominate the whole
political machine.

Mrs. Milton astounded the anglers
sitting about her on the pier by
quickly doffering her skirt, hat and
shoes and going overheard.
She swan down alongside the pill
ing to a depth or fully six feet, fol-
lowing the line. until she was able to
nab the fish under the gills, release
the line and swim up and arouOl to a
ladder nailed to the pier for the use
of the swimmers.
When she landed on the pier hold
ing firmly to the rockhsh she was
given a hearty cheer for her unique
accomplishment. She has proven to
be not only a rare fsherwoman, but
also an expert underwater swimmer.
The fish weighed two and one-half
pounds.
Mrs. Milton is regarded as one of
the best anglers on the Chesapeake
bay and usually lands the first rock
fish of the season. This is her twelfth
summer season at her country place,
Seyton.
Mrs. Milton has many relatives and
friends in Baltiomre, where her
mother and grandmother resided for
many years. The Seymours are very
well known in Maryland and Virginia.

That Japan Is striving to establish

Government circles here today.
