WOMEN APPOINTED.

Mayor Dorsey has made two good
appointments for the park and play
ground boards and the Board Of
Aldermen has confirmed them with
out hesitation. This is the beginning
of women being members of munich
pal boards and commissions in this
city. Judging from the calibre of
these two women the city is going to
profit by the new order Of things. A
worthy precedent has been establish
ed.
But no matter what the personnel
OF any municipal board may be. un-
less the Board of Aldermen provide
the necessary funds by making a
liberal appropriation in the annual
budget not much can be accomplish
ed, In a city of this kind where the
great majority of the people remain
here the year round. parks and re-
creation centers are an actual nec-
essity. This feature of our munich
pal life has got to receive more at
tention in the future and 1t is to be
hoped that having women on both
these boards will be the means OF
securing for 1t the recognition re-
quired.

DAILY HOROSCOPE
"Wednesday. October 9, 1920

Copyright, 1920, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
During the busiest hours of this
day kindly stars rule, according to
astrolpgy. Venus and Mercury are
in benefic aspect, while Saturn and
Mars are adverse.
Women in public activities should
benefit by this rule which seems to
indicate that newspaper approval
and notice may be easily gained.
1t is a favorable sway for love
affairs as we'll as for political inter-
ests, but danger lies where love and
politics meet.
This Is a lucky day for actors and
actresses and should be especially
fortunate for new ventures of any
sort, since critics should be kind
under this direction of the stars.
Theatres and theatrical managers
should profit. the planetary govern
ment being favorable to whatever is
novel or out of the ordinary.
Mars is in a place threatening to
all who adhere to old-time methods,
and the seers read that there is to
be a complete change of the system
by which plays and players are
managed.
Again there is a sinister forecast
lot ilhliiiS. may
be a. coal crisis even more serious
than any that has been predicted.
They who prophesy concerning
the result of the presidential cleo
ton declare that there will be
young folk in the White House.
Mercury promises distinction TO
writers who are to profit greatly in
the coming year.
Foreign visitors of note, some OF
them bearing important messages.
will be more numerous than ever
before when the new year dawns.
Food will be a matter of much
concern later in the autumn when
there will be public agitation con-
cerning a phase of distribution.
A newly elected congressman will!
shock his confreres by too much ac-
tivity in reform measures, the seers
declare.
This should be a lucky wedding
day, If the ceremony is performed
before sundown. The evening has a
sinister and forbidding sign for
lovers.
There is to be an autumn that
fingers long, if the stars are rightly
read.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have rather busy year that brings
a few anxieties. They should be
cautious about signing contracts and
writing letters.
Children born on this day are
likely to be exceedingly quick and
clever. They may have literary
gifts, which they must be taught to
use in a way to bring financial re-

RIPPLINC RHYMES
CLIMATE.
BY Walt Mason


For balmy airs I've always wished,
and now l have my hearts desire;
the finest climate ever dished sur
rounds me as / crank my Tyre. The
summer brings no sizzling heat. but
from the sea cool breeZes blow; the
winter has no snow or sleet to fill
rheumatic legs with woe. But when
I lay me down to sleep 1 dream of
Kansas every night; of Kansas, where
gild billiards sweep, and summer
heat Is just a fright. Some day, no
doubt, will depart for Eden, where
all things are fine, where scaiding
teardrops never start, and grief and
woe take in their sign. There with
the saints l hope to roam along the
crystal rivers shore, exulting in that
final home where sorrow soaks us
nevermore. But still my thoughts
will wander thence at times, when
choruses are stilled; I'll lean against
the jasper fence, and with strange
longings I'll be filled. Strange long
ings for the old elm trees beneath
whose boughs used to stray; strange
longings for the Kansas breeze, that
blew our county seat away. New
splendors rise at every turn, new
glories every hour / find; yet my old
heart must ever yearn for those dear
scenes I left behind.

The League of Nations does not
rrevent bo Iadaries being changed,
but only prevents their being changed
by war by external aggression. In
fact, It provides much-needed mach
ineyy for changing boundaries by
arbitration. and 1t does not Interfere
in internal revolutions.
Some critics objected to the FIRST
tentative draft of the League on the
ground that 1t interfered with the
Monroe Doctrine. 1t didn':. ye., to
silerce criticism, a specific reference
to the Monroe Doctrine was inserted
in the final draft.
But the critics didn't want to be
satisfied. So. when forced to drop
the Monroe Doctrine objection, they
complained, instead. of Article X.
although, as both Mr.. Taft and
Governor Cox have pointed out,

THE TRAIL BLAZER


We hear much these days about
the trail hitter. speak for the trail
blazer. I have nothing but cheers
for the trail hitters. They mean well
and want to do better. But I have
more than cheers for the trail
blazers.
1t is great to go up against the
wldernees-to strike in where no
one has gone on before you; to chip
the forest trees so that those who
come after you may find the way.
to face unseen perils, to adventure
the> unknown and the untried, to
have a heart of courage in the dark,
and resolute will that declines to
respect a barrier. All this is great.
1t is the story of the trail blazer.
1t is. if possible, greater when the
wilderness he goes up against is life
in human society. Most of us
meander the old cow-paths and are
satisfied. Ours is a type of mind
that does not take kindly to a new
idea. We worship at the shrine of
tradition. We have great respect
for a precedent, and are quite salts
fed to let well enough alone.
Not so the trail blazer. He is not
a lover of the way the thing has al
ways been done; but of the way it
never has been done. He insists
that wrongs are not to be endured.
but redressed. He is something of
a progressive, very much of a radi-
cal, occasionally an iconoclast. One
must admit he is not always pru-
dent. Som etimes in smashing idols
he jostles real saint; but if the
saint Is alive. he can climb back 20
his niche. Sometimes in clamoring
for the new, he is not quite reverent
to the old.
But this trail blazer is the hope
Of a better day. We must have
some people who will plunge on,
feered only by faith. The promise
land is waiting.

Ledque And Monroe Doctrine
BY PROFESSOR IRVING FISHER, of Yale University

, territorial integrity and existing
political independence of all mem
bers."
The Monroe Doctrine means that
the United States undertakes to re-
spect and preserve, as against
European aggression, the territorial
integrity and existing political In
dependence of American nations. In
short, first. they insisted we should
put in the Monroe Doctrine spe-
officially, and now they ask that we
take 1t out in general.
The typical self-respecting Amer
lean Independent is beginning to re-
sent what he believes to be attempts
to hoodwink him, to play on his pre-
judices and fears, to capitalize any
dissatisfaction he may have with
Wilson or any dislike of England,
and to pervert his patriotism into
national selfishness.
If we go into the League We should
do so not as slackers, but as we went
tlto the war, willing and eager to bear
our share of the responsibilities.

Treatment of ChlOrosis
O. Please let me know something
about the disease "chlorosis." and
best treatment for same. have a
lady friend suffering from it: has
had it several years. Doctor told her
this was her trouble, but she does
not seem to get results from medi-
cine. She is twenty-seven years OF
age.
A. In the treatment of chlorosis
while iron. as we'll as other drugs,
is often used with benefit, the medi-
cines are usually required to be sup
plemented by careful attention to
the bowels. In fact, I believe it was
Osler who said that If he were re-
stricted to one remedy in the treat
ment of chlorosis, he would choose
a cathartic. This, of course. does
not mean that Osler did not believe
in other drugs as also being of serv-
ice in the treatment of chlorosis.
but indicates how strongly he felt on
the need of proper elimination.
In the case of your friend, 1t is
suggested that she discuss the mat
ter frankly with her physician, and,
IL necessary, have him refer her 10
some specialist for further exami-
nation and advice.

GERS of the lower bowel. Some ul-
cera heal spontaneously. provided
the patient is placed under proper
conditions. Some ulcers demand
surgical operation, and some are not
amenable to either medical or sur
gical treatment. A person suffering
from ulcers of the lower bowel
should be under the care of a good

MORE STATE BOND ISSUES.

Voters would do well to consider
the statement of the State Highway
Commission made to Governor Ed
wards yesterday setting forth the
fact that $1S.O00.000 will be needed
for the bridges alone that are in
cluded in the state highway system.
OF this amount It is stated $4,000,000
will be needed within the next three
years. 1t is suggested that the gov
ernor recommend to the next legisla-
ture that is give authority for
measure carrying bond issue to be
voted upon by the people at a refer
endum for the purpose of raising the
money to provide for this bridge con-
struction.
1t must be apparent to all that
bridges are just as necessary on the
state highways as permanent pave
ment. These bridges must be pro-
vided for in addition to the money
required for the road construction,
which. in itself. is going to far ex-
ceed the original estimate. The fact
that the people are already paying a
state tax for the construction Of the
state highways. which tax, although
originally intended for only five years
is going to be continued indefinitely,
seems to make bond issue the only
feasible means of providing for the
bridge construction.
This bridge construction. there
fore, should be borne in mind by the
voters when they come to vote this
fall on the proposition to bond the
state for $2S,00O.O00 for the vehic-
ular tunnel under the Hudson river
and the bridge over the Delaware at
Camden. At the present time New
Jersey has no bonded debt, a provis-
ion In the state constitution making
it impossible for the legislature to
issue bonds for mora than 100000
without the consent Of the people.
This consent the people have con-
sistently refused to give.
To approve bond issue for $685.
100000 for the tunnel and bridge
this year and then to have the pro-
position of still more bonds next
year adding $1s.o00.o0O more for
bridge construction along fhe routes
of the state highways, is certainly
piling on the debt in earnest, This
is especially true when the most en-
thusiastic advocates of the tunnel
and bridge proposition admit that
s2S, 100000 will not be nearly enough
to complete the tunnel and bridge
projects.
In other words, the people are
asked this fall to approve bonding
the state for s2S.0oo.O0o for a tun-
mel and bridge with the certainty Of
being called upon to put up as much
again before the work is finished: at
the same time they face the propo-
sition of approving another bond is
sue next year amounting to s1s,-
100000 for bridge construction on
the state highways. Naturally. the
question is, where will It all end? It
is well to pause a moment and think
of the constantly increasing state
tax to pay the interest on all these
bonds as well as to create fund to
retire them when due. in addition to
the ever increasing county and city
tax. combined with the federal in
come and profit tax.
When 1t comes to a choice of these
matters, the people of the state. out
side of Hudson and Camden counties.
will naturally prefer the bridges on
the state highways because every
body in all sections of the state gets
the benefit
