DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN
People Of the Island Of Jersey Have
for Centuries Been Proud Of
Their Loyalty.

There Is no part Of the kings do
minions which has shown a more &C
tive devotion than the island Of Jer-
sey. The true Jerseyman still regards
the king as the successor Of the dukes
of Normandy. Jersey elected to re-
main under the English crown In the
reign of John, when the rest of Nor
mandy reverted to France.
1t supported the Royalist cause dur
ing the Civil war and harbored Charles
II when he was in exile; it banished
Victor Hugo because Of some sighting
remarks Of his about Queen Victoria,
and during the late war it passed Its
own military service act, for which
there was very little need.
Moreover, not once nor twice in this
rough island story .has armed In
vasi0n by the French been success

Plant Juice for Fish Bait.

Late in the dry season, when the
rivers are low in the heart Of Africa,
the Gwari, who inhabit the central
Soudan, set out on prolonged fishing
expeditions. The natives who live on
the banks Of the rivers are proficient
fishermen, taking great pride in their
work, but the village Gwari are not
very sporting in their methods. They
go out for the final results rather
than for the pleasure of the sport.
They pour the juice Of locust tree
pods into the pools, to which the
streams have shrunk, and this causes
the fish to leap out Of the water.
Wildly they leap, Hopping out on the
dry river bottom as often as not, but
the excited natives do not wait for the
fish to catch themselves. They lean
over the shallow water, finding great
delight In snatching the leaping fish
as they flash from the river.
This custom Of using the "jump
juice" seems to have been handed
down from time immemorial among
these strange Africans.

OLD FLINTFACE

The Old Flintface Humbug who says
he is seldom wrong ON the weather bug
he has, and who is seldom anything
else, came out the other day before
Labor Day and said various things
about the weather, what it was, ought
to be, would be, etc. 1t was hot, he
knew, but would cool off and Labor
Day would be fine and fair-much
cooler. What happened was that La
Dor Day was hotternell, and everybody
felt like snatching Old Flintface bald
headed, only they didn't. Then on a
day of this week, after he had been
predicting" rain for days that never
came, he said there would be a con-
tinuation of the dry spell, and right
away it rained very hard Sunday
night. Caught mapping again! Just
as though he was ever awake! "Cool-
er to follow" Ell? Much he knew
about it, for it was still sizzling hot
Monday. OF course cooler weather
would follow" quite the most natural
thing in the world, but through nc
knowledge of this laundering piece OF
exaggerated ego. There is nothing
more ignorant than an ignoramus.

BERGEN's BEST WRITER

The more one sees of the writings
of Edward A. Caffall the one is drawn
to the conclusion that he is the best
writer of good English in Bergen coun-
ty. He is a thinker of rare abilities
and ranks with the strongest men of
the entire country. He should be real
ly famous. Instead, he chooses to hide
his light under a bushel on the weekly
press, place he has no right to be.
But he is one of the most humble of
men, unObtrusive to the last degree,
patient, pious, unafraid and really a
most wonderful genius in many ways.
God does not give us many men of his
type He never expressed an unjust
thought for the reason that he is in
capable of it-yet he is never hesitant
to give expression to what he thinks,
and his trenchant pen has many times
called spade spade till it cut in.

BRAVE MR.. HART

s-eA salss-z 4, q
County Prosecutor Hart deserves
the thanks of the general public for
his outstanding frankness in discuss
ing last week, at Hackensack, the
limitations to be set upon women serv"
ing on juries. What he said is repro
duced in another column of this news
paper. At least it may be said that
Mr.. Hart has the courage of his con-
victions, and also he calls a spade
spade. On the subject of the deli
cacies of the situation surrounding
jury work in much of their applica-
tion, the prosecutor plainly says he
disapproves of women having anything
to do with it because of it's degrading
nature. The mere fact that women
are now the political equals of men
does not mean that they shall lose
their feminine charm nor have their
natural refined sensibilities assaulted
through some vulgar facts too plainly
spoken in the grand jury room, for
there is where no words are minced
in the majority of cases. 1t is an op-
portunity for plain talk, for without
it much of the laws strongest appli-
cation as well as protection cannot be
obtained. So far as this editor is con-
Harris views, and this with no thought
of denying women all they want in
the way of equal rights. What Mr.
Hart has said is well said, and brave
ly, too.

THE PRESIDENTS GOOD TIME

So many Presidents have left the
White House with impaired health in
recent years that it is cheering to OBJ
serve that Mr.. Harding isn't in mood
to let the piled responsibilities and
cares of his Office get on his nerves.
Colonel Roosevelt's experience, like
Mr. Wilson's, showed what the burdens
of the presidency can do to men who
have not the knack of distributing the
weight on shoulders appointed to re-
ceive part of it.
For long time Colonel Roosevelt
tried to think for millions of citizens
who wouldn't think for themselves. He
tried to share his nervous force with
the country and he. tried to make up
fully for the shortcomings of the aver
age politicians and the average man.
Mr.. Wilson undertook similar task.
Both suffered terribly in the end.
Mr.. Harding promises to accomplish
as much as either one of his immediate
predecessors-with breaking his
heart, or wrecking his nervous system
at the task.
When he went out to golf in Atlantic
City yesterday he wore, according to
the dispatches, "a natty brown mohair
golf suit with cap to match" and-he
breezily smoked cigarette. He en-
Joyed the Boardwalk as thoroughly as
a one-day excursionist and played his
golf without side or Formally.
There is suspicion in Washington
that the President likes to speed in his
motor. He certainly manages to make
fast time on his frequent trips. And
he appears to be getting tons of fun
out of the old Mayflower
A good nervous system and sense
of huInor and faith in subordinates are
helpful to any man. And they are
qualities likely to be of good use to any
President of the United States and of
value, in turn, to the whole country

well, it might be well to remind the
President that it would not have harm
ed him to have eaten from gold dishes
1t was all intended as a personal COM
pliment. 1t is also we'll to remember
that there are certain kinds of fine
china, Sevres ware, even more costly
than gold. But, after all, it is nothing
more than a question of taste. Per-
haps some of the Presidents enemies
might have tainted him with the state
ment that he was an aristocrat, "eating
from gold Dishes" and the like. AS no
political capital can be made of his re-
fusing to eat from gold platters, surely
no one will now undertake to say that
he is affected. AT least let us hope not

WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY
But One Hundred Years Ago the Horse
Was the Only Means Of Rapid"
Communication.

A few hours after Caruso died the
civilized world knew Of it and was in
mourning A hundred years ago
Napoleon died, on May 8, 1821-and
1t was exactly sixty days before the
world received the news, the New York
Evening Post states.
Though the English were expecting
his death at any moment and had made
every preparation to have word trans
mitted from st. Helena to England
with all possible dispatch, 1t was not
until July 4, that the news reached
London, having been brought there by
the sailing vessel Heron. In accor-
dance with the spirit of the times,
the message was not given out on the
arrival Of the vessel, but was first con-
veyed to the colonial Office, an act
which required approximately two
hours in itself.
July 4, 1921, fell on Wednesday.
On Friday, July 6, the news reached
Paris. Messengers were dispatched
from Paris to Germany, where the
newspapers commented on the death
Of General Bonaparte" for the first
time on July II, sixty-eight days after
the event had taken place. And this
notice was in paper published at
Mayence, then virtually a French
town. 7 a=5 t.
The Vossische Zeitung, founded in
1704 and then, as now, the leading
German daily, contained no notice Of
Napoleon's death until July IA, and
then it merely copied the London
Times. Private individuals living in
the provinces, regardless Of their
station in life, received the news much
later. 1t was not conveyed to Goethe,
then living at Weimar, until the very
last Of July. He received it in a
letter bearing a black seal.
