MOVIES AND MORALS
What of Girl Stor's Social Life? Mrs. Calhoun Explains

 We are all made tc be sociable and every movie maid must call upon her morale when she sacrifices the rightful pleasures of youth simply to sleep in order to be fit for the next days routine of the studio
 And as soon as one serial is fin- ished, there there is the scenario for the next to be studied To endure the swift rush of events in the cinema country, one must have a sense of humor. and humor, they say. is one of the important morales for all humans. There are few artists who have grouched a lonely path through the 1 jungle of movie difficulties, delays 1 harassm entss and endorsements l but most of the so-calied 'fortunate' personages of movie-land have the spirit of fun in their hearts. When things go wrong. they get g | full portion of humor out of the situation. This has many rewards. Probable we get out of life pretty much what we look for. But is il fair, or even sensible, to assume tha, the girl in the movies is different from the girl in any other employ ment?
 We do not expect a school teacher | to be eternally concerned with her heart affairs. Why should we sup pose that stenographer or movie star thinks of little else?
 It was reported of famous beau ty, Mime. Recamier, that she simply could not see sin anywhere That particular characteristic Is rot i'm possible today, and doubtless il makes a dependable shield for any woman.

When tomatoes are to be used whole for salads try preparing them an hour or two before dinner and chilling thoroughly. The easiest way to peel tomatoes is to scald them and slip off the skins. A few scalded at time entails no risk of over scala ing and cooking. Chill thoroughly and the tomatoes will be perfectly firm.
 These salad recipes are a bit un- usual and may appeal for company dinner or luncheon

This public refuses to get excited over the coal
probe that Senator Mackay is conducting in this
state. If the senator hoped to get any political
out of the probe to help his gubernator-

closed and the next scene will be staged in
Newark. But it is the same old story no mat

AS a matter of fact, the people are tired to

lions into the coal situation for years past yet

and his ommitte may hold hearing from now

HUGHES,S OPPORTUNITY

President Harding has done the expected by
appointing Secretary of State Hughes head of
the American delegation to the Washington dis
armament conference.
1t will probably be the verdict of the nation,
irrespective of politics, that no wiser choice
could have been made. This entirely apart from
the fact that Hughes's position as cabinet pre-
mier made his appointment practically a fore
gone conclusion
No man in high position in the Harding ad-
ministration has grown in public esteem since
his appointment as has Hughes.
1t is not too much to say that this conference
has possibilities of developing into the most i'm
portant international gathering in the worlds
history.
Much will depend upon Hughes, who, as head
of the delegation of the nation calling the con-
ference, will undoubtedly be chosen as it's pre-
siding officer.
No such opportunity for world service and
world fame has ever before come to an Ameri-
cabinet officer.

LEE MANSION AS A MEMORIAL
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-Is Arlington Man
sion, bare and gloomy since Lee rode away,
again to be turned into the semblance of
a beautiful colonial home, with its relics of
Washington Custis and Lee restored?
Arlington was stripped OF its souvenirs of
George Washington, its works of art, and its
furniture in the exciting Civil War days. Price
less relics, left unguarded, were somehow stolen
by vandal camp followers. Soldiers quartered
about the grounds had opportunity TO buy for
q song, or even to take without price, souvenirs
TO send back home. What was left of the Wash
ington things was finally carried to a museum in
the patent office, whence the exhibits later found
their way into the National Museum and to
Mount Vernon.
General Meigs, once Robert E. Lees intimate
friend, was so embittered by Lees allegiance to
his state that he vowed that never again should
the mansion be used as the Lee homestead. 10
insure this, he ordered graves dug on the
grounds for the Union dead, and Arlington be-
came a national cemetery, with the mansion
deserted, save for certain rooms set aside for the
use of the superintendent of the cemetery.
Meigs' vow will always hold. The mansion
can never again be the real colonial home left
by Lees family. Thousands of stones dot the
lawns of the Arlington estate, even close to the
homestead. But Arlington Mansion can be made
into a museum. like Mount Vernon, of great his

WHY RUSSIA is HUNGRY

In the year 1913, imperial Russia produced
$50 million bushels of wheat, 200 millions more
than the United States. In the same year she
produced Is per cent. more oats than this coun-
try, more than half the worlds crop of rye and
nearly half it's barley. She raised one-third the
worlds potatoes and one fifth of the worlds
sugar beets, and, aside from this country, was
the greatest of all livestock producers.
\ This year Russia is starving, and one must be
a whole-hearted radical in politics to blame it
on the deity or the drouth. 1t is true enough
that 20, 900, 900 are in eminent danger of starva-
ton, but the drouth of which we read has not
touched Russia's great winter wheat district.
The fact of the case is that the peasants as
a whole, whether discouraged by Bolshevism or
looking for some MARKHAM miracle, have neglec-

FOR THE FREEHoLDERs TO CONSIDER

county pays ffty-eight cents more a square yard
for highway construction than the city of New
Brunswick does for the same kind of work.
ing it is a taxpayer who has put up his share
of the funds that the freeholders spend, he is
entitled to an answer.
At the same time perhaps the freeholders will
answer the question that the NEWS
has asked several times as to why the free
holders persisted in advertising for a bitumi-
nous top dressing for the West avenue paving
in sewaren when economy and durability, as
well as the sentiment of property owners along
West avenue favored an all concrete road?
Incidentally, the Times points out the fact
that the report of the county treasurer for the
month Of July shows that over $1,000 was paid
out for automobile hire in the general expense
account. In addition to this big sum there are
other items for automobile accessories and re-
pairs which would bring the total up around
the $4,000 mark. This averages around $50 a
day for automobiles for the county during July.
An itemized account of these expenditures
would be extremely interesting. Perhaps the
freeholders can be persuaded to furnish 1t along
with the answers to the questions that nave
been asked. In these days of high taxes and
excessive costs, the people are anxious to see
that their money goes as far as possible. 1t Is
natural that they should begin to take an inter-
est in these things. especially as there is an cleo
tion approaching.
