ROAD CONTRACTORS TO MEET
TO ACT ON FREIGHT RATES


TRENTON, Sept. Estate High
way Engineer Thomas J. Wasser to-
day called a meeting Of all road
contractors in the state who win be
affected BY the proposed increase in
railroad freight rates on sand. grav-
Ell and crushed stone to be held in
the laboratory of the State High
way Department, this CITY, next
Tuesday night. The railroads of the
state have asked the Public Utility
| Commission to increase the freight
rate on these three road construc-
ton materials forty per cent, the
same as on all other commodities
and the meeting has been called to
organize a united protest of all
those who will be affected by the
jump In the rates.
When the Public Utility Commits
sion filed its report In August allow
ing the railroads to advance their
passenger rates twenty per cent.
and their freight rates forty for
service within this state, following
the same action by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the COM
mission suspended the freight In
crease as applied to the road ma
terials upon the representation Of
Engineer Wasser that such increases
would seriously cripple contractors
In this state who accepted their
contracts at the old rates of ship
ment and failed to take the in
creased rates into consideration in
making their bids for the work they
are now doing. He also stated at
that time that the a shortage had
held back shipments of material
which otherwise would have arrived
under the old tariffs.
This caused the utility board to
make the following comment in its
report at that time:
"It IS the opinion of. the board,
giving due consideration to all con-
ditions and to the public nature Of
the work for which the materials
are used, special rates may be made
on shipments of sand, gravel and
broken stone for use in road build
ing and repair, and this would not
be an unjust and unreasonable dis
elimination either in inter or intra-
state traffic. 1t is the opinion Of
the board, therefore, that the in
creased rates should not be applied
to intra-state shipments of sand,
gravel and broken stone to be used
for road building and repair, unless
it appears more clearly than at
present that this would be just and
The railroads have now come in
and asked for the forty per cent. in
crease on the three road materials
and the Public Utility
Board has fixed Monday, October II,
in this city. as the date and place for
a hearing on the reasonableness of
application. At the meeting of
the contractors to be next Tuesday
there will be a discussion of
the situation and plans made for
appearance before the Utility Board
October IL to present the view
point OF the contractors.
State Highway Engineer Wasser
has notified all the county engineers
to invite the contractors engaged in
road improvements with
state and financial aid to attend the
meeting next week also, as they are
also affected.

clans to kick around" Mr.. Cox
does not kick 1t around, he fondles

that mothers OF America want the
league OF nations. He underesti-
mates the intelligence of American
mothers.
The mothers Of America are not
dull and they can understand simple
English. They don't want war II
it can be honorably avoided, and In
any case. they don't van 1t forced
on their sons by a foreign council.
Article ten of the league to which
Mr.. Cox has pledged himself, says
that members of the league under
take to preserve the territorial in
tegrity of all members Of the league.
If the United States entered the
league and Russia, for instance. at
tackled the territory Of any member
Of the league the sons of the moth

the fathers of America would have
to go, not by order Of the congress
OF the United States elected by
American fathers. mothers, etc, but
by order of a foreign council in
which the United States would be
a mere cipher with only n vote
against all the other votes of Eu-

Shall America do 1t? Shall the

OdluLOklNR 0CDtCAAOCA ~ A1&C

Newspaper Syndicate)
This is a variable and uncertain
day, according to astrologZ. While
Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter are all
adverse, Mercury alone is in benefc
aspect.
During this sway there may be a
tendency to take a most pessimistic
and discouraged view of the world
and for this reason nothing that is
projected during this confguration
is likely to succeed.
There is a sign read as ~presaging
a gloomy view concerning business
conditions, but this Is due to the
power of sinister suggestion which
is strong when Uranus is in evil
aspect.
Saturn seems to be unfavorable to
real estate transactions and to min
ing operations today.
1t is not a fortunate sway under
which to undertake initiative of any
sort, especially where buying and
selling are involved.
Bankers are now subject to a rule
that may them to be extreme
ly careful since it imparts to them
misgivings and suspicion regarding
world conditions.
This is a day Of promise to writ
ers especially those connected with
the press which should benefit
greatly.
The signing OF contracts of any
sort should be lucky under this di-
rection of the stars. which is for
tunate for real estate deals.
Leases or mortgages bearing this
date should be lucky as the rule is

prosperity.
Messages between men of high
estate or between governments are
especially well directed by the stars
today. ENJOYS, diplomats and for
eign representatives of every rank
should benefit.
Advancement in methods of
transmitting mails is prophesied as
n of the reforms of the future
when letters will be superseded by
quicker modes of communication.
Many weddings are foreshadowed
for the winter, when there will be
one in Europe of special interest to
Americans.
Inventions are subject to unfavor-
able conditions while Uranus is UNI
friendly. but many important ones
are prognosticated. Motion pictures
are subject to the most remarkable
planetary influences, astrologers de-
clare.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should pass asquiet year in which
they attend strictly to established
business affairs. Speculation will
be very unfortunate.
Children born on this day may be
restless and unsettled, but gifted
and endowed with charm of person
atty. They are not likely to enjoy
hard work.

HEALTH ADVICE
Feeding Young Children.

The change from the bottle or
breast to table food must be made
i~ntelligently if the baby is to con-
tinue to grow properly.
No child three years of age or
under should ever be fed at the
family table. or permitted to have
tastes of food other than that
which is especially intended for
him.
To, try to feed a young baby at
the family table while attempting
to partake of a meal is not con-
ducive to a mothers or fathers
digestion. 1t is also unfair to a
young child to expect him to sit
ers take for their meal and not
ing.
A simple, safe and satisfactory
method of feeding a young child
and a practical substitute for the
always dangerous high-chair, is
the separate small table and chair.
Where the house-room space Is
limited, this small table may be
fastened on hinges to the wall so
it may be dropped out of the way
when not in use.
While the mother is preparing
the family meal, the baby may be
served just what he ought to have
at his own table. In this way, he
does not see other foods and will
not ask for them. When baby has
finished his own meal, he will be
content to play or sleep while the
family enjoy theirs unhampered
by his presence.
The small table is an excellent
means Of training in table man
ners. When the child has learned
proper control of himself at the
age of four or five years, the fam
lily will then enjoy his presence
at their table.
Pyelitis.
@. Will you please tell me what
pyelitis is? Its causes and after
effects? Is it the same as Bright's
disease?
A. -Pyelitis in an Inflammation
of the funnel-shaped collecting
tube of the kidney, characterized
blythe formation of pus which ap-
pears in the urine. The disease
is durable, and is not at all the
same as Bright's disease. A pa
tient suffering Of pyelitis should
be under the care of a good physi-
clan.

IDEWALL OF
TIRES NOT MERELY
A BILLBOARD

The side-wsll of an automobile cas-
ing is not simply an advertising bill
board for the manufacturers, nor is it's
main use to specify size and type Of
tire. Though it carries practically all
the markings on the casing, il has
much more important mission in life.
Like the skin on the body. its duty IS
to protect the carcass underneath.
As some skins are red. some white
and some yellow. so are some Side
walls red. some white and some tan.
Some are gaudy. others conservative.
Some are black and blue and striped.
While the side wall is a thing Of
beauty. it is primarily compounded for
endurance and resiliency.
At the edge of the rim, 1t forms q
seal against water seepage. 1t pre-
vents chafing between the rim and the
inner fabric and serves as a bulwark
between rim and tread line against
rays of the sun. grinding of the road,
and the moisture which causes rotting.
Its enemies are oil grease. ruts and
curbs. According to the Miller school
of tire repairing. it has an important
part in giving the tire grace and eie-
gance Of appearance, which, combined
with uniformity and maximum mile
age, gives a perfect tire.
At the upper edges. 1t serves as an
anchor for securely fastening the edges
OF the tread Altogether 1t is only q
fraction of an inch in thickness.
