THE TwO.HEADED MONTH.

January. first month of the new year. is at
the threshold. A good, keen standard. reliable
month it holds fresh opportunities for everyone.
Several months were named after Roman gods,
and January, named for Janus, was one of
them. He was a god given two faces that look
ed In opposite directions, and his adoption as a
month name led to the idea that the month of
January looked reminiscently to the past and
hopefully to the future.
According to one writer Janus meant the
spirit OF opening and the double head indcat-
ed a gate swinging both ways. The Romans
thought that this god was interested in all their
enterprises and so they honored him by naming
a month for him.
The custom of exchanging presents and calls
on New Year Day. Jan. l, dates back 10 the time
when the month was named, for then the Ro-
mans ito start the new year right" forgot their
personal enmitles exchanged presents. made
calls upon the other. and installed their consuls.
No wonder January was named for Janus, for.
by the wise men of early Roman days. Janus
was believed to be the doorkeeper of heaven.

WILL THE CONFERENCE BEAR FRUIT?

The two strong features that marked the con-
ference at Trenton yesterday when Governor
Edwards invited heads of police departments
and prosecutors from all over the state to con-
fer with him as to the best methods of suppress
ing crime, were the pronounced sentiment IN
favor of a state police force or constabulary and
the agitation In favor of enacting a law in New
Jersey similar to the Sullivan law In New York.
Prosecutor Stricken made a strong plea for
better police protection in the small towns aud
rural districts and his argument carried much
force. He certainly has many instances to back
his contention that the smaller communities
are not doing their part in furnishing the proper
police protection for themselves. Every town
ought to have a police department no matter
how small 1t is. There ought always to be an
officer close at hand who can be called upon at
ANY time for protection or TO handle criminals
But. at best, these officers are only local.
Their jurisdiction is limited. as it should be.
But there are miles and miles of highways
throughout the state that are absolutely unpro-
tected and no local police force can meet the
situation. With our highways travelled by auto
mobiles as they are now it is the duty of the
state to furnish a patrol to make these high
ways safe. with the whole state highly organiz-
ed through a state police force, machinery
covering every section could be put in motion at
a moments notice and it would be pretty hard
for a criminal to escape. At least, there would
be far greater opportunity for capturing him
than there is at present.
AS for the Sullivan law. New York passed a
strict regulation several years ago making 1t
unlawful to have weapons in ones possession.
even in ones house. without a permit. The sale
of firearms is also carefully regulated and a
record is kept of every purchase. This is as is
should be. But the gunner of New York care
nothing for these regulations when they can
easily cross to Jersey City or Newark and buy
Ill the firearms they want and be back in New
York again within an hour. New Jersey ought to
Sc willing to cooperate with New York in this
respect and both states would be greatly bene-
atted.
1t is to be hoped that this conference that
was held at Trenton yesterday will not end like
70 many other conferences have ended, in moth
Ing but talk without accomplishing any good.
The people are sick and tired Of conferences.
It is all we'll enough to talk things over to fix a
plan for action, but 1t is necessary to carry out
he plan If any benefit Is to be derived.
Sentiment was overwhelming at Trenton yes
,erday In favor of a state police force. The next
legislature ought TO see that the state is thus
oy all means, should have one. A law placing
restrictions on the handling and dealing in fire
arms would go a great ways toward eliminating
much Of the lawlessness that is now so preva-
lent.

HOW To KEEP YOUR RESOLUTION.

As the new year approaches. 1t might be well
for folks to take stock of the resolutions they
made at the beginning of this year-and most
OF them probably will discover a deficit.
In most cases the books simply won't balance.
In the average life resolutions broken far exceed
resolutions kept. Resolution is the most perish
able flower of human character. Its cultivation
is the most difficult of enterprises.
It's easier to wink at ones faults than to fight
them of: to compromise rather than to Insist
on the strict letter of the new year contract one
makes with ones self.
A man, making a business agreement with an
other. demands a strict Interpretation OF every
comma. period and semicolon. But he is much
easier with himself.
The trouble is the average resolution is a sort
of secret treaty. II resolutions were open cove
nants, openely arrived at, more resolutions
would be kept.
One man realized this. SO whenever he de-
cided to make a resolution, he told his wife
about It. And what his conscience could not
compile him to do. pride would not permit him to
evade. He didn't want his wife to think him u
weakling.
Others might copy his example.

Women have more courage than men. A
man wouldn't dare go out on the street half
naked in Zero weather.
Talk to a modern young man about burning
the Midnight Oil and he'll think YOU are re-
ferrlre to Gasoline.
Somehow or other it doesn't take a man long

Women are highstrung creatures. Maybe that
Is the reason why they are always harping.
1t may seem paradoxical. But it takes a
certain amount of vanity to feel that you have
not lived in vain.
1t has just about got so that a woman feels
uncomfortable in shoes that are large enough
for her.
The trouble with the man who can talk like

You have to marry a girl to discover that she
isn't as sweet as she looks.
And some girls would make better house
keepers if they knew as much about Pastry as
they do about Passementerie.

WASTED LAND.

Georgia has 20. 900, 900 acres of idle, cut-over.
logged off. non-productive wasted" land. Michi-
gan. Minnesota, Wisconsin, each have more
than half that many acres Of cut-over timber
lands. A dozen other states have from five to
fifteen millions acres of such lands.
Once. not many years ago, these were for
ests. The best of the timber has been turned
into furniture. houses and bonfres. Stumps and
brushes remain. The acres are idle. They're
worse than idle, they increase the danger of
forest fires.
Those acres should have young saplings
growing into timber for the next generations
grandchildren. 1t is wrong to waste the land.
1t is wrong to waste the time, and waste time
we do when we postpone planting trees. For a
tree isn't a thing you can plant in April and cut
down for lumber in August. You set out the
tree and your great-great-grandchild harvests
timber. The longer we delay the planting the
longer off the harvest. In the meantime the
timber shortage is growing more acute with
each tree the lumberjack fells.

With the pruning knife lowering over appro-
pr~iations for the woman's bureau in the govern
ment labor department. congress is reminded
that out of last years appropriations congress
allotted 56-thousandths of one per cent. of the
total to the interests of women and children.
Speaking OF percentages and appropriations
by congress, it is interesting TO note that 92 per
cent. of the total cost of running the govern
ment goes for war purposes. past, present and
contemplated.
Ninety-two cents out of every dollar!
That leaves eight cents for education, agricul-
ture, and the general good of the country. And
yet there are people who are opposed to cutting
down the naval and military appropriations.
Even big business is now getting to be pacihs-
tic.
No longer is it the American union against
militarism which is bowling to reduce the great
war appropriations; our big banks and manu-
lecturers are beginning to crowd on congress
with the suggestion that if business or pros
perity is to have any chance at all, if taxes are
ever to be reduced to respectable proportions,
here will have to be some very radical change
in this war job business.
The least that congress can do at this time is
to take favorable action on the Borah resolution
calling upon Great Britain and Japan to join
with the United states in a naval holiday. 1t Is
narrow. to be sure, to limit our invitation TO
these two nations simply because they are our
only possible rivals, but that seems to be as far
y the "irreconcilables' are willing to go as YET.
II disarmament is a good thing for the United
hates, Great Britain and Japan, it is a good
ming for every other country and the United
bates ought to help bring it about. While Great
Britain and Japan may be our only rivals, other
Nations have their rivals, too. They cannot dis
Urn unless the others do. One of the objects
{ the League of Nations is to bring about gen.
aal disarmament. 1t takes very little to start
Omething. as was manifested in the apparently
Insignificant beginning of the World War which
as Just cost 10000, 900 lives.
Disarmament for the United States. Great
Britain and Japan would not have prevented
that war. But If the United States senate. IN
its present mood. is unwilling to go any fur
Their than disarmament for United States. Great
Britain and Japan, that, at least, is something,
and may lead to greater endeavor later on. We
are realizing more and more how closely the
whole world Is knit together. When we realize

that it will be necessary to scrape II
out with a sharp instrument. If the
