BOONE QUITS

Differences Over Law En-.
fOrcement and Political
Ambitions Believed Cause.

Franklin NJ Boone has quit Mayor
Carson's board Of public safety, and
now the mayor is looking for some
one 10 take Mr.. Boone's place.
The mayor was not very clear Sat
urday as TO why Mr. Boone resigned
from the police and fire board. He
said that ne could not rememb er
clearly.
Mr.. Boone could not be found sat
urday but his friends insist that
his resignation was not due solely
TO Mr.. Boone filing his declaration
for the republican nomination for
county treasurer.
Some Of Mr.. Boone's friends re-
called Saturday that once Chief OF
Police Kline refused TO have a no
toriOus resort raided upon the de-
nsand OF Mr.. Boone made following
an interview had with two unfOr-
tunate young girls from this resort

Boone Not Satisfied.
They also recalled that Mr.. Boone
was not satisfied with the investiga-
ton by the board Of public safety
sometime ago of the disappearance
of liquor from the bull pen at the
city hall, which resulted in two mem
bers OF the department being made
the goats" and the resignation and
reinstatement Of a sergeant of de-
tectives.
These friends OF Mr.. Boone say
that there has been friction among
the board members regarding the
enforcement Of the law, and that
Mr.. Boone did not want 20 embarrass
himself as a candidate for a county
office with Carson administration
ENHANCEMENT.

Mayor Carson said Saturday that
he has not selected anyone TO NIL
the vacancy on the safety board
caused by the resignation Of Mr.
Boone He said that he had not
even accepted Mr.. BOOne's resigna>

would accept il or not. Under court
rulings, however, a resignation be-
comes effective when it is filed and
even though the mayor would de-
cline 10 accept the resignation, and
Mr. Boone would continue to serve
as a member of the board. his ac-
tion would be illegal unless he was

FIRE PROTECTION FOR EXHIBITS.

The necessity OF adequate fire protection and in

plain in New York recently when a collection OF
paintings. sculpture and miscellaneous objects
worth half a million dollars gathered for exhibit

fire
The collection contained contributions from most

Art and industrial exhibitions are of both educa-
tional and pleasurable value any community, but
properly constructed and freproofed buildings
should be provided to house them and while such
collection is assembled every precaution for the
prevention. detection and fighting of fire should be
observed
How many local exhibits and fairs are held in
fimsy wooden buildings with not much a hand
fre-extinguisher to put the sudden blaze? How
many farmers who provide concrete buildings foI
their stock at home send valuable animals for ex-
hibtion without any knowledge what

More Truth
Than Poetry
By James J. Montague

\ LEAP YEAR VALENTINE.
Won't you be my valentine?
l cannot say your face is fair.
I cannot praise your form divine
Or rave about your ripping hair;
1 cannot say that with your voice
Sweet as a linnets-Tm en-
thraled;
Moreover. if had my choice,
I'd rather have you not so bald.
Won't you be my valentine?
Your hands are large. your voice
is gruff.
Your nose is somewhat out Of line,
Your neck is just a trifie rough.
You nave no elegance nor grace,
And all my lady friends remark
That you have got the sort CT face
That's better looking after dark.
Won't you be my valentine?
I do not like your taste in ties;
The more your patent feathers shine
The more one notices their size.
Your hats but emphasize your faults,
You've got the most enormous
ears
And you will never learn to waltz
Although you live a hundred
years.
But men don't shine in beauty
shows.
And, if the truth must be con-
fessed.
With all your failings. ! suppose
You average fairly with the rest.
/ want a mate-all women do
That ] can love, and have for
mine.
And-well, it might as well be you,
So won't you be my valentine?
