SENATOR FRELINGHUYSEN'S
SPEECH ON THE DEATH OF
COMMANDER GALBRAITH

Washington, D. c.
June 1921.
In announcing to the Senate the
tragic death of Colonel Frederick W.
Galbraith, Commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, Senator Frelinghuysen
said:
"Mr. President, the morning news
papers convey the sad news of the
accidental death of Col. Frederick w.
Galbraith, head of the American Leg
ion. 1t might not be inappropriate at
the present time for someone to say
few words of appreciation of the ser
vices of this distinguished soldier.
"Col. Frederick w. Galbraith, Jr.
entered the service as Lieutenant Col
onel of the 145th United States In
fantry, an Ohio regiment, and COM
manded his regiment on the other
side through all of its activities in the
Argonne and Belgium. He was twice
wounded in action and was decorated
by the United States Government with
the Distinguished Service Cross, and
by the French Government with the
Croix de Guerre. In civil life he was
identified with the paper manufactur-
ing business in Ohio.
GAS the oldest member of a large
family he started as a sailor on
sailing vessel and worked up to the
position of first mate before he be-
came twenty years of age, yet he
was only AZ years old at the time of
his untimely death. He was chosen
last year as the national commander
of the American Legion and has since
devoted himself earnestly to assisting
those who suffered by reason of their
services in the war.
"In my association with him IN
matters of legislation pending before
the Committee on Military Affairs
have found him at all times great
patriot, good American, and entirely
unselfish in the great work he has
done for the benifit of our soldiers
who served in the great world war"

Legion. He was formerly a deputy
sheriff in Birmingham.

ment, according to a resolution adop

HIGHWAY
DECISION NOW
BEFORECONCRESS
Presidents Recommendations for
Board to Correlate Highway Pro-
grams Embodied in Townsend Bill.
Federal Commission Needed to Assure
Economy and Guarantee Greatest
Service to Greatest Number.

Washington, D. c. With commit
tee hearings concluded in senate and
house and with the present Federal
appropriations coming to an end June
30, the whole question of the future
highway policy Of the United States
has reached a stage where delibera-
tons of Congress become of i'm
mediate and vital Importance to the
nation, according to Roy D. Chaplin,
chairman of the highways committee
of the national Automobile Chamber
of Commerce
Because of the principals invol-
ved," said Mr.. Chaplin, perhaps no
single issue now before Congress will
effect more profoundly the lives of
more people in this country than the
necessity for a broadened highway
policy"
President Favors Adequate Road
Agency.
mo one has stated the case more
accurately or with clearer vision than
did President Harding in his first mes
sage to Congress when he said that
the Federal agency of administration
should be elevated to the Importance
and vested with authority comparable
to the work ahead of it.. No one has
spoken more forcibly than he when
he said i know Of nothing more shock
ing than the millions Of public funds
wasted in improved highways, wasted
because there is no policy of mainten-
ance'.
when the Federal government en-
barked upon its course of participa-
ton in highway work five years ago,
the Federal Aid road act then adopted
seemed ample. But in the time inter-
vening world war and the almost I'M
believable growth Of highway trans
port have brought US to a new con-
sciousness of the far reaching influ.
ence of this new and evolutionary form
of individual, supplementary transpor
tation.

Mr.. Editor
Dear Sir;
Kindly allow me space in your
paper for a protest against Daylight
Saving.
In the first place it is illegal and
the next place it causes a whole lot Of
expense and discontentment.
Also numerous other ways, day
light can't be saved, sun rises and
sets no matter what the clocks say.
Let nature take its course in this
time business and don't get the name
of Lambertville as being full Of crazy
people, the same as these other places
have that are trying to run on two
different times.
There are other reasons but !
haven't the time to write now.

READY TO SERVE

A man building a home has just spent six months completing his building at a cost of S10, 900.
 A few days before he moves in he rings up the electric light, gas and tele- phone company and is con- nected with these various household utilities on a mo- ments notice.
 Little does the average person realize the millions of dollars that have been in- vested and the years of time required in developing these great ready to serve" or ganizations which await on- ly his order to start ser vice.
 It the builder had to put in a private phone system the cost would have been m u c h more t h a n the cost of his house and then he would not have really had service. The monthly cost of running his private plants would have been much more than the monthly bills of the ready to serve" organizations al- ready at his command.
 In considering rates of public utilities the average user overlooks the fact that being ready to serve" costs money and that the value of this potential service must be covered by the rates.
