JERSEY "WETS" WIN VICTORY
BEER BILL PASSES SENATE
With Galleries Jammed as Never Be-

Applause, "Drys" Lose
Battle.

Trenton, N. j., March 1.-The New
Jersey Senate tonight passed by a
vote of IL to the compromise beer
bill providing for the manufacturing,
selling and transporting of beverages
containing not more than 3 IL per
cent alcohol by volume. Under the
provisions the bill, after being enact
ed into law, will not become effective
until after peace has been officially
proclaimed.
The measure. which passed the
House last week, went through the
Senate after references had been
made to the State Senate in 1868 con-
demning President Lincoln for his
emancipation of the slaves; after it
had been stated that the State of New
JERSEY would become traitor to a
great cause, and after the Anti-Sa-
loon League had been excoriated for
it's lobbyism in antagonism to move
to have the beer law in the State 80

for States rights on the question be-

in the Senate within quarter OF a
century.

HARD TO ANALYzE FRIENDS
wife Unable to Understand Choice
Made by Her Husband, and He
Is Equally at Sea.

My husbands friends are a source
of never-faiIing psychological interest
to me. am always trying to discover
why he chose them and what consti-
tutes the secret of their enduring charm
Tor him, says writer in the CONT
mental Edition of the London Mail.
Not one of them really resembles
MN and some possess little traits that
would irritate him in anybody else.
Take, for instance, George, who is
always restless; in the garden flinging
ABOUT like a boy, with the children
trailing after him; in the house, when
they are in bed. gamboling necessarily
With the kitten, setting the phono-
graph going, whistling. humming or
vamping on the piano.
He does not know what repose
means, yet he appeals to my husband,
whose most obvious characteristic is
serenity and calm. Then there is Ed
ward with his absurd laugh. kind
OF shrill cackle that reduces me to icy
pessimism. My husband rarely smiles
and only really laughs once in a month
OF Sundays. Nevertheless, there must
be some fundamental basis of solid
sympathy between the two men, for
Edward is always welcomed heartily.
My husband goes fishing with an
other friend whom l privately call a
grumbler. He must be most depress-
Ing. Then he never has a dull mo-
ment when Stephen is at hand ready
to prattle about science, though my
husbands sympathes are completely
classical.
Tidy to righteousness himself he
does not appear to see how most of his
friends scatter things about when they
stay with us, borrow his books and
either put them back in the wrong
places or never return them at all ;
leave pipes here and pouches there,
and break again and again the unwrlt-
ten laws that rule our household.
AT times | see my husband look re-
fectingly at my friends, and the
thought fits across my mind that they
provide him with the food for specu-
lation that his friends give me-
Then | realize that have never
analyzed my devotion to Mary. or spec
ulated how 1t is that Roses compan-
| ionship is a perennial pleasure.
| suppose we are friends now he
cause we were children together. or
went to the same school, or met when
happily holiday making.
Anyway, there it is, and | expect
if truth were sifted from speculation
i causes Of the same kind or others as
primitive, rule my husbands choice

Pocket Radios.

During the war radio outfits were
made so small and light that they
could readily be carried IN small
aeroplane. An even more compact ap-
paratus has now been devised which
is trundled about in a wheel chair.
The antennae consists of a network
of wires forming square of about a
foot, which is not even raised above
the level of the seat. The receiving
apparatus is tucked away under the
seat. AS the chair is wheeled about
the boardwalk by the sea, messages
are picked up from ships many miles
at sea. The operator sits in the chair
swept by ocean breeze" and listens
in on all manner of radio messages
transmitted from the. ships to the
shore stations. or the other way
about, or from one ship to another. II
Is possible to pick up messages from
ships thirty miles or more at sea. The
same apparatus may be carried by an
automobile or even bicycle.-Boys'

china,s Clay Cliff DWELLINGS.

When we speak of houses built of
clay in the United States, we mean
brick. But along the banks of a GER
tain river in the Yuman province of
China the idea is carried out much
more literally, according to the Kan
sas City Star. There a lofty YER
teal cliff of clay affords homes rent
free for several hundred people. The
cliff is bright yellow, so fine in tex
ture that bit of it rubbed between
the fingers gives no feeling of grit. 1t
is easily dug out with spades, and 6
great many cave dwellings have been
excavated in the face of the cliff, over
looking the river. Some of them are
two anu three stories, the clay being
so tenacious that thick horizontal lay
ers of 1t furnish a series of floors.
Nothing st all like these homes is
to be seen anywhere else in the world,
Ii is said. Scattered over the face of
the cliff among the cave houses, are
quaint buddhist shrines, with images
carved out of clay.-New York Sun

A monkey was brought into the
court at ConstantinOple in connection
with the murder of the manager Of
the Ackermann circus. which had been
giving performances for a season in
the Turkish capital
A married couple named Starr, who
were members of the circus troupe,
were suspected of the crime and ar
rested, but no evidence could be dis
covered against them. The judge
thereupon resorted to a reconstruction
of the crime. The circus manager
had been murdered at a moment when
he was feeding an Indian monkey
named Scamp. Starr and his wife
We're conducted to the cage.
The instant the animal, which had
previously shown much affection
toward them, saw the couple, IT
broke into a furious rage, throwing
itself against the bars of its cage in
its attempts to attack the STAIRS.
At subsequent sitting of the court,
the monkey was led in and had hardly
caught sight of the STAIRS when it
again flew into a paroxysm of rage
The spectacle produced a great i'm
preston on the court, and, notwith-
standing their emphatic denials, Starr
and his wife We're judged guilty.

RUMMAGE SALE WORTH WHILE
Occasions When Things of Greater
Moment Than Old Clothes May
Be Disposed Of.

Did you ever attend one? Here on
a table is old Browns silk hat that
ne wore to church many years and
now that he's gone it has been sent
by his family to the rummage sale to
be disposed of for the benefit of the
church.
And there on the counter is an old
china pug dog that used to guard the
mantelDiece in somebody's house.
And on rack hangs the Prince AL
bert coat that some fellow wore when
he was married and which his wife
kept as treasured thing through the
years; now she has given it away be-
cause the sentiment that attached to
it is dead and has fiuttered away like
last years leaf.
They are handy institutions, these
rummage sales, enabling one, as they
do, to give away for good purposes
what he no longer needs or wants or
cares for. He holds on to such things
long time and then one day he gets
tired seeing them around and sway
they go to the rummage sale, the Sec
ond-hand store and the rag shop.
But the rummage of minds and
characters most people hold on to and
cherish forever. To their dying days
they keep old and wornout preiudices
and fight hard for them.
They hold and feed cankering hates
and envies as things of great value,
worth treasuring in their hearts,
They keep fast to habits, knowing
they are bad, but lacking the will or
the courage to throw them Off.
They cast off only good resolutions
and intentions because they interfere
too much with comfort.
The next time you gather together
your old clothes for the rummage sale
and you have packed it all in one
bundle, suppose You say to yourself:
Lets see, what have | left out?
What else is there that | ought to
get rid of? What passions, prejudices
and habits are littering up my mind
and character?"
You will not be able to get rid OF
this rummage as easily as you car
dispose of your old clothes. but once
having taken stock of it you will know
yourself better. The first step to self
improvement rs to become acquainted
with your defects.
