PASS BRIDGE BILL
WITH TAX CLAUSE
Jersey House Adopts Measure
Despite Veto Threat by
Governor
HOUSING LAW IS ADVOCATED

Trenton. April 29.--Mustering SUN
cient votes. Republicans in the House,
before adjourning last night, passed the
Camden bridge and Hudson funnel bill
with the direct tax clause inserted by
the Senate. The vote was 81 to II. Mr..
Barrett made hard fight against the
passage and predicted its defeat at the
polls.
Governor Edwards had announced he
would veto any bill containing the dl'
rect tax provision. a fact which made
the House Republicans unwilling to ac'
cept the bill in its amended form.
Governor Edwards made final ap.
peal to the Legislature for affirmative
action TO relieve the housing situation in
the state and for legislation guaran-
teeing equitable rates by public utility
corporations.
In his appeal for housing legislation
he suggested passage of Assemblyman
Bowen's bill authorizing municipalities
to erect houses and lease or sell them to
residents Of the municipality. The bill
passed the House but failed of passage
in the Senate. In his message the
governor said:
II notice from the record of the
Legislature that litr%e or nothing has
been done toward passing laws which
might, in some degree, at least. relieve
the housing situation. 1t seems to me
that honest and industrious people who
fipd themselves with no roofs over their
heads may well indulge in a feeling of
unrest and dissatisfaction with the gov
ernment which is so impotent to deal
with their needs. There are some ways
in which this matter could be dealt with
by the Legislature that I think would
in some measure afford degree of re-
lief and aid our people who are labor
! ing under this very serious deprivation.
The condition is caused, as you well
know. by the failure of building to keep
pace, with the needs of the people. In
other words. the supply docs not meet
taa demand, and under this situation
many INSCRIPTIONS persons are taking
advantage of the necessity of the pub
lie and advancing the rents to exorbi
tant figures. but believe that some re-
lief can be extended to the people
through the passage of House bill No
4Ho. now pending in the Senate.
This bill grants power to munici-
| ralitieS TO construct homes and TO sell
and lease them to the people of such
municipalities. 1t Is permissive meas
GIe and carries n referendum feature. 50
that its provisions remain imperative
urtil assented to by the voters of such
municipalities as desire TO operate under
Its provisions. 1t may not be the best
thing to do. but az least it is q move in
the direction of providing means of
meeting the demand for housing accom- =
modations. ] urge upon you that before
ycr adjourn you pass this or some other
bill granting such powers.

bulk Of his S15 .00O,0 900 estate went,
why nothing has been done toward
carrying out that provision of his will
calling for the erection of small chapel
over the family graves.
Wyman, an eccentric millionaire
whose "closeness" was notorious in
northern New England, died ten years
ago and to the surprise of everybody
except his lawyars left the bulk of his
estate to Princeton.
He directed his trustees to expend
"such sum as in their judgment may
seem best in erecting small memorial
chapel on the Wyman burial lot where

FEARS GERMAN MENACE
Victor Head Declares Enemy Nstior
Is Again Taking Military Lead

Germany. again accepting military
leadership, is rapidly being welded into
greater menace to world peace than
ever. according to Eldridge X, johnson.
president of the Victor Talking Machine
Co, who has just returned from a Eu-
rOpean tour.
Mr., johnson looks upon the treaty as
a mistake brought about by politicians
with an eye for the plaudits of the peo
pie. He declares the authors have
already lost caste among the public.
"A commission of the worlds best
financicrs, with power to do away with
present clauses in that instrument
would effect powerful treaty which
could not only put Germany upon her
economic feet, quiet rumblings from the
people, but save world commerce and
enable the defeated nation to pay at
least part. the indemnities, he added

FEEDING a Llama.

A most unhappy fate befell a young
llama that came into the port Of New
York on the U. S. S. Munaires, says
contributor to the Geological Society
Bulletin. United States sailors won
the animal at a ball game In Buenos
Aires, and brought him north with the
intention Of presenting Kim TO the New
York Geological Park. Not realizing
his capacity for food, they failed to
bring enough hay to last until they
reached port, especially since they gen
erously permitted the llama to wander
into the hay compartment at will and
eat all he wished at each visit. The
hay gave out when the ship was cross
ing the equator, but the llama solved
the difficulty temporarily by discover
ing several brooms and eating the last
wisp Of straw from the handles.
In desperation, the men collected all
the brooms on board and fed them to
the llama. When the brooms were
gone. the animal became demonstra-
tive. but he refused every substitute
until they offered him dried prunes.
On that diet he arrived in New York
alive and apparently we'll but during
sudden cold spell he developed bron-
chial troubles, and finally died Of
pneumonia.

Hats for Husbands Only.

Marriage in Korea divides the men
from the boys in way that may he
convenient, but that sometimes is
amusing. No one but married man
can wear the peculiar high-crowned
hat that is so characteristic of Korean
dress. One day, writes Mr.. Roy G.
Andrews in the National Geographic
Magazine, / noticed little fellow who

on the top of his head. He was only

"Do you mean that man?" the cook
asked, pointing at the child.
said, YES" and learned that the
little fellow, who was only eleven
years old, had a wife Of ten, to whom
he had been legally married. Although
they would continue to live with their
parents for the next two or three
years, the boy was referred to as
man." and had all the privileges Of
a full-grown member of the commu-
nifty.
Near the "man" was fellow Of
forty-seven, who wore his hair part>i
in the middle and hanging in long
braid down his back. Because he was
unmarried he could not wear a hat
or tie up his hair; no matter what age
he reached, he would always be con
sidered to be a boy. The two were
photographed side by side, to the great
displeaSure of the eleven-year-old man.

DECLARE SIZE A HANDICAP
Women Of Generous Proportions Say
Their Fragile Sisters Are Pre-
ferred BY the Men.

Suzanne looked fearful and tears do
not suit Suzanne. You see, she stands
six feet in her silk stockings, wears a
seven shoe and a seven glove, and isn't
bit proud Of the fact
Ny Amazon had had a big diSap-
pointment, says a writer in London
Answers Put in plain words, she had
allowed just little more of her inter-
est than was wise TO center round a
big Dick Harbury, and Suzanne had
dreamed dreams. Now had come the
news that little fluffy AIaisie, a doll
like girl of barely FIVE feet, was wear
ing Dicks ring.
Said Suzanne: "We big women
haven't chance. A man always falls
before the tiny woman. Why do men
prefer little w0men?"
That query set me thinking. DO
men prefer little women to girls Of the
Amazon type? Has size any power
when it comes to question of falling
In love?A
Undoubtedly women like big men. A
giant catches admiration from the eve
of any and every woman in his vicin-
ity. Women love power in their men,
and they imagine that the big man
possesses it. It's natural superstition,
after all, isn't II? Big men impress,
although they do not always live up to
these first impressions.
But turn the subject round, and
you'll find that there's grain of truth
in SuZanne's wall.
Little bits Of fluff do appeal to the
masculine sex. The wee woman gets
there all the time. A man likes to feel
that he could pick up his girl in his
arms if necessary, carry her miles
without stralning his heart, and have
the nice feeling that she needs his pro-
lection.
SO you win find the big men carry
ing off the little women-bits Of FEM
ininity who reach up TO their hearts
and what happens to the Amazons?
Nature being cOntrary-at least, hui
man nature-the little man asplres TO
the big woman, and marres her.
Like repels, unlike attracts all
along the line, you see. Maybe, But
1t doesn't always happen.
/ rather fancy that it's more mat
ter of the come hithcr' look in the
eye rather than of size.
