Therefore, wooden clothing should
be confined to outer garments, such
as ~overcoats, designed especially for
colder weather. Fur coats make the

Outer clothing should be adapted
to the changes of the weather and
mediun-weight underclothing should
be worn throughout the winter sea

mesh underwear might wear light
weight wooden or silk over cotton.

Most people think it is the cloth

clothing regulates the amount of
heat allowed to escape from the
body. OF course, clothing does de-
fend the body against the external
influences of wind and cold. too.
Clothing, no matter of what ma
terial, possesses more or less power
of retaining a layer of air kept warm
by our bodies. This layer of air
varies according to the fneness and
closeness of the weave or the ma
terial used. Thick garments of the
same material are warmer than the
thin because they retain in their
meshes a greater quantity of heated
air.
Loose clothing is warmer than
tight clothing, so also with shoes
aud gloves. With loose clothing,
shoes or gloves. there is a larger
layer of heated air between the skin
and the material. The circulation
of the blood is freer. too.
The material of the clothing
should be such as to allow free per-

in winter as well as summer. but
the sweat is in the form of vapor

CONCRETE FOR WOODBRIDGE

Being in a ~quandary as to what kind OF a pavement the
property owners of Fulton street, Woodbridge, wanted the
township committee had a personal canvass made OF the
people directly concerned and found that a majority favored
concrete. This is quite different from the method adopted
hy the Board Of FreehOlders.
In deciding to pave North Main street, Metuchen, the
freeholders first advertised for bids for warrenite, a mate
rial controlled by the patent pavement interests, and then
when the bids were about to be received, decided to invite
tie Metuchen borough officials to state what kind of material
they preferred for the pavement.
No doubt the cost of laying concrete as compared with
he patent material has a great deal to do with the decision

Get a first class pavement besides. The difference in the
cpst of the two pavements will go a long way toward paving
more streets in Woodbridge-an excellent object lesson for
the Board of Freeholders.

JAPAN's PLACE IN THE PACIFIC

Japan which from a position of
isolation in the Asian seas has
emerged to become one of the DOM
inant factors in the Pacific might
be termed the narrower and less
compact Britain of the Far East"
says a bulletin from the Washing
ton, d. C. headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Like the British Isles the Japa-
nese Islands form the fringe of a
great continent; both were in the
hands Of petty kings and grew into
a centralized nation; both looked
abroad for expansion; and both
have conceived of their safety and
future prosperity as dependent
largely OF sea power.
Has Remained Center of Empire
But there are differences as well
as likenesses between these w is
land nations. Since she began TO
grow into an empire Great Britain
has resolutely turned her back on
Europe in so far as territorial ac-
quisitions, are concerned, and has
sent her colonists into the remote
parts of the world. Japan, on h
other hand, has acquired large
blocks of the neighboring continent,
but has expanded somewhat in
other directions also. Great Bril-
tain has become the headquarters
of a scattered, distant empire. Jap
an has remained so far the center
of her empire with her possessions
drawn relatively closely about her.
Though Japan had imperial am
billions even in the early centuries,

once conquered Korea. and laid
claim in the sixteenth century to
Formosa and ever the Philippines.

Perry opened communications with
the west in 1854, was confined to
the three main southern islands
of Japan proper and the small islets

velopment of Yezo, the big island to

something unaccountable. But In a
world where the field is open ana
competition keen, not many men
are able to secure and hold positions
of eminence unless they deserve

When you see a man who mas

chatka. In 1875 Russia induced
Japan to take the Kuriles and re-
linquish all CLAIMS to Sakhalin.
Wars Have Profited Japan
These expansions to the north
yer of little value. for the cold,
bleak northern lands have never
appealed to Japanese colonists.
Yezo is sparsely settled, and the
Kuriles have only a handful of in
habitants. Japan's next step was
to the south. In 1879 she annexed
the LuChu archipelago extending
from the southernmost of the large
japanese islands southwestward for
700 miles to Formosa. China laid
claim to these small but pleasant
and populous islands as she did to
Formosa but she fi-ally consented
to Japan's anneXing them.
"Japan's victorious war with
China in 1895 gave her immediate
territorial advantage and in addition
greatly heightened her prestige
among the nations. China coded
the island Of Formosa (now ofici-
ally known as Taiwan) with iss
1900 square miles of territory and
its 100000 Inhabitants; and the
Chinese peninsula of Liaotung on
which battle SCARED Port Arthur
is nov situated; and acknowledged
the independence of Korea. Rus
STA France and Germany forced
Japan to relinquish the Liaotung
peninsula and Russia later leased 1t
from China; but the Russo-Japa-
nese possession and the island en-
pire now holds it under a 99-year
lease. By defeating Russia Japan
further extended her influence both
on the mainland of Asia and among
the islands. She obtained a pro-
tectorate over Korea. a sphere of
influence in Manchuria and the ces-
sion of the southern half OF the is

MRRY2

What's your hurry, Mr.. Man?
Why. this rush that makes us dizzy,
Do you think mere hustle can
Prove that you are truly busy?
If you'd planned exactly right
There would be no need to scurry;
Use your common a mite
What's your hurry?
Haste won't take the place or
thought
And it's not so darned impressive;
Things are often badly wrought
When they're done with speed ex-
cessive.
Why this galloping about?
Why this fierce, frenetic furry?
You can do your work without
What's your hurry?
All this restless motion serves
Not to prove your zeal and ardor
But to wreck your brain and nerves.
Make your arteries grow harder:
Thinking Is the thing you need,
Saves you time and toll and worry
Nix on all this frantic speed,
What's your hurry?

of anyone to provide relief should
