American Cemeteries in France
Exquisite in Uniformity.

Though American relatives usually
want to plant flowers on the graves
of their sons or brothers in the Amer
lean army cemeteries in France. an
army ruling forbidding this has been
adhered to. The cemeteries, uni
form stretch of green grass with white
crosses, look like "acres Of white ILL.,
ies." according to Miss Elsie Goddard,

to this country after having had super
vision of the Y. w. G. A. rest huts
built for the comfort Of relatives Wis.,
iting the graves in four of the Amerl-
can cemeteries in France. AT first
every one wants to plant flowers on
the grave they love-" says Miss Cod
dard, ''but they soon see that the army
ruling keeps the cemeteries most beau
tiful and impressive because of the
uniformity. Cut flowers can be placed
on graves and flowers can be planted
in the flower beds near by, but not
on the graves. The French people
who are eager to decorate the graves
in some parts are often surprised at
this ruling, but our cemeteries, as cared
for, are wonderfully impressive. Aft
ter visiting them few Americans want
to take the bodies Of their boys home,
though they have been determined to
do it before they came" The Y. w. c.

mo matter how prepared mother
and father are for what they expect
to see, the first sight of the field Of
American graves overwhelms them,"

Great Response Yesterday
Adds to Confidence Of
Those in Back of Big Drive

Albert Leon. chairman at today's
luncheon OF the workers in the re-
organization campaign OF the Cham
Der of Commerce announced that
seventy-two new members have
come i'm since noon yesterday and
that the total at this time is 2S7. Al
though the last of the daily lunch
cons. this affair did not mark the end
OF the activities of the workers.
Special effort will be put forth for
the next three days during which
time IL is felt sure that the 500 mark
which was the goal set originally.
will be reached.
Today was woman's day and Mrs.

when any aid was solicited of them.
Mrs. Dorsey said that there Is
sheer need of some body to whom
the women may go for support not
only financial. but moral.
The foreign element of the city.
which is a pet consideration with
Mrs. Dorsey. according to her views
need help in many ways. Mrs. Dorsey
said that the cooperation of the
| Chamber of Commerce can help
educate this class of people to the
state where they realize that women,
as much as men require recreation
and activities outside the home. AL
though Mrs. Dorsey believes that the
woman's place is in the home first,
she also believes that, to become a
good citizen she must get out and
learn the essentials that will help
make her such.
Another thing the speaker men,
toned was an auxiliary in the Cham
ber of Commerce, for those men
and women who are interested in the
welfare of the city but who cannot
join the Chamber of Commerce be-
cause of the lack of means. Mrs.
Dorsey said that such people should
not be denied their proper place in

AS token of appreciation for the
entertainment and pleasure she has
afforded the workers in the move-
ment by presiding at the piano each
noon, Miss Emma Greiner was
presented with a large box OF candy
with few words of thanks from the
chairman.
Mr.. Leon. at the close OF the meet
ing gave very encouraging talk to
the members. praising their Efforts
and leading them on to reach the
goal which has been set by the re-
orga niZation committee.

FAIL TO FIND ORIGIN
OF STRANGE BLAST

By The Associated Press.
NEWARK, Oct. S:-Newark, Jer-
sey City and surrounding towns
were startled shortly after 10 o'clock
by an explosion. Police and county
authorities Immediately began an
investigation but have been unable
to locate the blast.
Several loud reports caused con-
siderable excitement. Newspapers
and police headquarters soon were
swamped with telephone calls, many
people believing one of the powder
plants in the eastern section had
blown up. Canvass of these and
the government arsenal at Raritan
brought no information.
Belief that the report had come
from big guns at the Fort Hancock
proving grounds was dispelled when
the military authorities announced
there had been no firing today.
They said it was planned to test
some thirteen-inch guns this after
noon. which probably would make
unusually loud reports.

SCOUT EXECUTIVE HEIN0LD
RESIGNS; GOING TO ITHACA

Scout Executive Louis o. Heinold,
who has been in charge of the local
council of the Boy Scouts for the
past year and half, has handed in
his resignation to the organization
here and will leave Immediately to
take up his work in ithaca, N. Y.
Mr.. Heinold came here in May, 1919,
when there were but six troops in
the entire council. During his term
here Mr.. Heinold organized six new
troops and leaves this city with
twelve registered troops in good
standing. Two of the scouts within
the past year have qualified for
Eagle Scouts, as high a position as
a scout can attain in the organiza-
ton. Assistant Scoutmaster Cecil
Roberts and Scout Norman Olsen
are the boys who have qualified, and
twelve merit badges were obtained
by other scouts in the council.
Mr.. Heinold will have charge of
scouting in Ithaca, and will organ
ize the work in the county of
Thompkins, of which Ithaca is the
county seat. On a visit to the city
professors assured Mr.. Heinold the
fullest support that the university
can afford. Cornell will probably
institute a summer course in scout
ing next summer and the new scout
master will assist in putting across
the program there.
Yesterday afternoon a surprise
luncheon was rendered Mr.. Heinold
in the scout headquarters by several
of those with whom he has been
working in the past year and a half
and others who have known him in
a social capacity. Miss Persis Snod-
grass, Mrs. Isabel Gould and Mrs.
Hansen represented the Red Cross
while Tracy ID. Waring, president of
the council. represented the Boy
Scouts here.
Mr. Heinold has accomplished
much for scouting and has institute
ed many new phases of the work
during his work for the council. II
was with deep regret that the ex-
ecutive board accepted Mr.. Helm
old's resignation.

LEAGUE ISSUE
IN M|DDLESEX
County Democrats Will Or
ganize at Big Meeting -
P. A. Leaders to Attend.

1t Is expected that a large delega-
tion of Democrats from this city Will
attend the meeting of the county
committee In New Brunswick tonight.
This delegation will include all the
candidates in district, county and
city offices who reside in this city.
People from all parts of the county
will be present at the meeting tonight,
and it is expected that many women
will be among the number.
From all indications at the pres
ent time. Thomas II. Hagerty, OF
New Brunswick. the present chair
man of the county committee will be
reelected to this office as no oppo-
sition has appeared against him.
Many women are expected to at
tend the meeting tonight. If the wet
and dry issue comes up a strong de-
bate will follow. Just what the out
come of the issue in the county will
be. no one is prepared TO say, but
inasmuch as the women are dry, II
is expected that the issue will be left
entirely alone or else dry declara-
ton made. Some are of the opinion
that the platform as adopted at the
state convention at Trenton will be
adopted in Middlesex.
Harmony prevails throughout the
entire Democratic organization, and
although there may be some OF q
different opinion than others, the
common end is to elect the entire
ticket.
After tonight's meeting the cam
paign in Middlesex county will begin
in earnest. Just in what manner the
campaign will be waged is one of the
questions to be discussed tonight, bu,
from what can be learned this morn
ing the league of nations will play
an important part in the future
campaign work. Monmouth county
has already lined up behind the Is
sue, this action being taken yester-
day at the meeting of the county
committee in Freehold, and early
this morning ii has been learned that
the league met with popular favor
with the women.
In Democratic circles today II was
rumored that many women who have
been debating the question in their
minds have come over to the Demo-
cratic side of the fence on the ques-
ton of the league. and this added
support to the party Is expected 70
work wonders between now and cleo
ton day. Women generally, it is felt
will be for the league of nations
once the issue is clearly explained to
them. and from all over the district
come reports of organizations of wo-
men who will go forth to explain the
issue in its correct light.

CENSUS FAvORS
WEST AND SOUTH
These Sections Will Gain
More in a Political Way
Than East or Middle West

by Inc Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. S-Exami-
nation OF the final census figures of
the country which placed the total
population of the continental United
States at 05,6S3,10S indicates that
The west and the south proportion
ately will gain more in a political
way than the east or middle west
through increased memberships In
the House of Repr esentatives, more
votes in the electoral college and in
larger delegations to the national po-
litical conventions.
As a result of the increase of 49,
7S1,S42 in population, fifty new
seats must be added to the House
TO prevent any state from losing
any part of its present representa-
ton.
Should the present membership of
436 be left unchanged by increasing
the basis of apportionment, there
will have to be transfer of thirteen
seats. now held by twelve states. to
nine other states.
BY liking the apportionment basis
so that Maine and Missouri would
each lose one seat the increased
population of the country as repre-
sented in Congress can be absolved
by a net increase of twenty-seven
seats. The apportionment basis then
would be 219.5S3 or a major frac-
ton, and seventeen states would alb
solve the net increase as also the two
seats lost by Maine and Missouri.
These gains would be distributes
with New Jersey getting two.
1t may be decided to hold the next
increase to lessen the score which
might be accomplished by causing
70
Kentucky. Maine and Indiana one
each. The apportionment basis
would be 234,947 inhabitants to the
congressional district with a net in
crease of fourteen in the size of the
house
