n. J. SENATORS
FAVOR TREATY
Both FreIinghuysen and Edge
View Adoption by Arms
Conference Success
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of Tht
Perth AmbOy Evening News

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Both
Senator's Frclinghuysen and Edge of
New Jersey look with favor upon the
four power treaty adopted by the
disarmament conference for pre-
servation of peace in the Pacific, al
though Senator Frelinghuysen said
he would like to go a little further
into it before giving it his unquali-
fed support.
Both view the adoption of the
Pacific treaty as a great accomplish
ment and likely to be very beneficial
for the United States if it does not
call upon this country to yield too
mucn in return.
II consider the treaty a very great
accomplishment" said Senator
Edge. Il cannot agre with those
critics who profess to find in it some
similarity to the League of Nations
and some of the objections inherent
in the league. 10 my mind the dis
tinction is perfectly plain: The
league undertakes to preserve the
integrity of the possessions of all
member nations, while the new
treaty simply binds the four powers
to respect each others rights and,
if difficulties arise, to get together
anu vi
or cooperation to remove them.
1T is a difference between an OBJ
legation to act and an obligation to
consider action. The treaty binds us
to cooperate with other powers.
When the time comes that the
United States cannot cooperate ii
seems to me we will have reached a
situation which would not only be
dangerous, but very selfish"
Senator Frelinghuysen, although
a close personal friend of President
Harding and one of the Republican
regulars in the senate. wants to be
sure the United States does not
abandon any existing rights in the
Pacific.
II notice the new treaty is con
ditioned upon the reaching of GER
tain agreements with respect to Yap
and the inundated islands," Sena
tor Frelinghuysen said. Those
agreements will be of the utmost i'm
portance to the United States. While
/ am heartily in favor of the prin-
ciple of cooperation and discussion
e~nunciated in the new treaty. l wan
to sect what goes with it before say
ing unqualifiedly that l will support
it. :,
at want to make sure first that II
does not mean the surrender or ouI
prestige, power and Influence in the
Far East: that u trade relations
in China will be properly protected;
and that the open door will be kept
open. 1t is also important that we
shall retain full control over the
Philippines, and shall not abandon
all we have done there"
"If we are to remain a world pow
err and are not to be excluded from
participation in the development OF
the Far East it rs highly essential
that we shall be represented in the
Western Pacific. / assume of course
that this thought is also in the
minds of our representatives who are
engaged in the present negotiations

this place, received the third and
final degrees of their membership
in that order at New Brunswick

CATION of members from the lodges
Of the district and much interest
was manifested in the work of the
order.
This initiation followed the dem
o~nstration given az the rooms OF
General Morgan Lodge, at South
Amboy on December 6, and was
the final oae for an increased mem
bership launched two months ago.
Following the work of the degree
team addresses were made by mem
bers of the degree demonstration
committee who told of the work of
the committee and has recommend
ed that the committee continue as a
whole in the work and that another
demonstration be staged at some
central point in the spring that will
eclipse the one closed.
The committee has recommended
that the degree be conferred by de-
gree teams from members of lodges
in this district and discouraged the
bringing into the district degree
teams from other districts. This will
arouse renewed interest among the
members of the order and be more
fruitful. An address was made by

DENIES CROW is ALL BAD
Bird That May Be Said to Have Few
Friends Finds Defender in
Eastern Writer

Volumes have been written about
the crow, remarks writer in the
Christian Science Monitor. He is
famous-yes. and infamous, to not a
few of his biographers. Thus he re-
sembles Napoleon. Further, he resem-
bles Napoleon in his complete self
reliance, his cosmopolitanism, and his
many-sidedness. The crow is our COM
posite, or ideal bird. He is typical
of the class ayes. Frequenting our
average or general environment and
climate, he has adapted himself to
the requirements of that average sur
rounding in an all-around manner. He
is about a mean proportional in size
between the humming bird and ostrich.
He can fly enough, walk enough, wade
enough. His beak is long enough,
strong enough, round enough, curved
enough, so that little which is food de-
fies his efforts at utilization. He does
not object to hot summers, wet springs,
dry autumns, and icy winters. And, in
line with this almost Grecian equilib-
rum of faculties, experts studying his
economic status have at length con-
cluded that his virtues about balance
his shortcomings in this field also.

Temples Reveal Character.

People with "bony" temples-the
cheek and frontal bones almost cover
ing the temple space-are stolid, non
imaginative and slow in thought and
action. To set against those defects
the above type of temples is that
which is big, white and fianked with
small. well-formed ears. That is the
statesman's temple, the authors tenn
pie, the temple of the "big man." Ora
tors and noted preachers have this
temple. The character indicated is
business, generosity, kindness and a
great capacity for forgiveness. This,
too, is the long-life temple. Those
with temples, which, owing to the
shape of the skull and the growth of
hair, look high and unduly narrow,
are geniuses, with great incentive
power, but of erratic temperament.
This type of temple is not usually a
longlife one.

EARLY AMERICAN BLUE LAWS
In 1643 the Idea of "Paternalism" Had
Distinct Hold on the
Communities.

In early America the township and
provincial authorities regulated pri-
vate conduct and personal affairs with
a rigor which, If sought to be applied
now, would raise general and indig-
nant outcry. What are called "blue
laws" We're familiar TO our ancestors,
and II would appear that they repre-
sented public opinion as to what con.
stituted proper and seemly conduct
ON the peoples part.
As bearing on the daylight saving
matter, and as proving that ii is diff
ticult TO find something new under the
sun, the municipal authorities of Hart
ford, Conn, have found among their
records that general town meeting

New Life-Saver.

To lifeguard at Pablo Beach, Fla,
is attributed the invention of a new
kind of life-saving float, which is a
cylinder of thin steel, pointed at both
ends, three feet long and weighing
only six pounds.
The contrivaEce is attached by a
short line to the guards belt. Thus,
If an adventurous swimmer be in dam
ger of drowning outside the surf, the
life saver can swim out to the rescue
the float bobbing behind him. To the
float are attached rope handgrasps,
which the drowning person can grab.
The float, however, is connected
with the shore by long line, SO that
when the exhausted person has
grabbed it he may easily be dragged
ashore. Though very small in size it
will support six men.

MOVES WITH REST OF WORLD
ing Up From Her Sleep of Two
Thousand Years.

AS a study in strange customs and
startling incidents, China is interest
ing because 1t has changed so little in
point of view during the last two thou
sand years. The characteristic of
China Is satisfaction with the wisdom
of the fathers, slowness to let go of
principles tested by ages. The good
old-fashioned Chinese soldier SLOUGH
ing along in his baggy clothes, or dou-
bled up on pony, the shave-pated
priest, the magistrate with his glass
button and peacock's feathers, the
coolie in his blue cotton drawers, the
plumy merchant in his silks, have
been coming and going for two or
three millennlums, just about the
same. Up to two decades ago the
land seemed unchanged and unchange-
able. The empire has an organization
under which the nation has as much
internal peace. and more prosperity,
than most of its neighbors.
in China makes it clear enough that
China is rapidly going through a great
change. Many Chinese in the treaty
ports wear European dress, telegraph
wires are strung all over the country;
a Chinese post office takes your mail,
unless you make point of turning it
over to/ the foreign posts; Chinese
steamers splash along the rivers; To-
comotives frighten Chinese donkeys;
iron works clang: schools spring up;
modern buildings arise; newspapers
appear; armies are created; public
opinion has become a fashion.

LAKE or FIRE NEVER QUIET
Spectacle Furnished by Hawaiian vo.-
cano May Well BE Said to Be
Everlasting.

Hawaii's lake of everlasting fire
has never been quiet so far as Hilo
local records or traditions testify.
That is, not quiet for any length of
time.
1t covers itself with a black sheet
of lava which looks like wet rubber
at intervals as regular as the breath
ing of sleeper. This black covering
no sooner completely hides the liv-
ing, angry red lava than it cracks and
splits with startling noises. breaks in
to cakes which sink into the burning
pit, and the molten lava of the lake
is again in commotion. The whole
strange performance, as recall, the
freezing over, the breaking up. the
renewed billowing of fire, takes less
than ten minutes.
The lake so called, is an opening
hundred yards or so wide in the floor
of the crater, which is eight miles in
circumference. 1t can be compared
to hole in ice; the crater floor, al
though of black, hardened lava, is in
physical character like rough shore
ice, the surface of the lake like water
kept in commotion by wind, except
for the periodic freezing over. The
live lava of the lake rolls in waves
which break against its shore, sending
up spindrift, which, blown from the
top of the waves, hardens into hair
like glass The natives call this glass
"Pele's hair" that lady being the God
dess of Fire.
Little wonder that the excellent
deacon who had sat on the edge of the
lake in wonder and terror piously an
swered one who asked him what the
lake was like: Brother, it's a HI
of a hole !''-New York Sun.
