RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
POOR OLD

Nebraska's eyes are fearful, there's
sorrow in her marts; her ons pre-
tend they're cheerful, but they have
aching hearts. On, still her hogs
may fatten, her steers do passing
well, from Broken Bow to Btratton,
from Hastings to Odell; she still
may harvest glory through fresh and
sailed meat, and live in song and
story by raising corn and wheat;
her bards may gain the bacon, her
healers bring back health, but Bryan
has forsaken that sad-eyed common
wealth. There other living wonders
may dance around and sing, and
with their verbal thunders make all
the welkins ring; the state may al
ways nourish strong men whose aims
are high, boy orators may fourth
and fade away and die; and War
wicks oft may ramble athwart the
pleasant scene and commoners may
gambol upon the Lincoln green: the
future is uncharted, we know not
what may be, but Bryan has depart
ed, alas and hully chez! No homes
so well defended it has no vacant
chair, no flock so well attended. but
dead lamb is there. From York
to Weeping Water Nebraska feels
bereaved, and every son and daugh-
ter is sore and deeply~peeved; men
drink the bitter mixture and say the
facts a crime, for Willyum seemed
a fixture, a landmark for all time.
The affairs all are shaken, and rent
the temples dome, for Bryan has
forsaken his old Nebraska home.

A. The steam hammer was in
vented by James Nasmyth, who first
conceived the invention in 1889 but
did not patent 1t until 1912. Mean
while a steam hammer had been ac-
built at the iron works of lie Creu-

@. Has any change occurred in
the representation of Christ in con-
nection with the crucifix? NJ. H. S.
A. On crucifixes wrought as late
as the eleventh century, Christ is
represented az alive. Since this
time He has teen represented as
dead. The first example OF Christ
being represented as dead is fur
nished by a manuscript in the Lau-
longing to about the year 1859.
9. Is the widow of a United
States consul entitled to a pension?
A. l.. G.
A. There is no provision for such
a pension. In some cases where the
death of a consul has left his wife in
financial straits, his salary Tor a GER
tain period has been paid to her.
@. I am building a dairy barn.
How wide should the stalls be? r.
NJ,
A. If the cows are to be tied in
stanchions, the stalls should be AZ
to A inches wide for large breeds,
and SO to AZ inches for smaller
breeds.
@. Is the natural gas of the
United States being conserved? w.
H. M.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
that there are two and a half mill
lion domestic consumers of natural
gas in this country and that at least
n and a half billion cubic feet of
gas is being wasted by them each
year. A slight adjustment of most
gas burners and stoves would re-
suit in a saving of at least SO per
cent. of this loss.
Q. How are rose beads NADER J..

A. Use petals from the most fra
grant roses while still fresh. Pass
them through a meat chopper, using
the finest cutter. every day for a
period of five days letting them stand

WOMEN FOR JURY DUTY.

While there has been no demand by the
women of Middlesex county for a chance TO
A1nt6v-nedua, rights with men in the way or
;ury duty, still the announcement by SherlH
Elmer Wyckoff that female voters will be drawn
next fall for grand and petit jury duty will be
GENERALLY regarded as a step in advance or the
old order of things, in that men only were
held intelligent enough to decide the tate OF
criminal and civil cases at law.
There is no doubt but that the average
woman of Middlesex county will prove as COM
petent in the jury box as the men. In many
cases moro so. The great interest taken by
women during the last campaign, in some sec
tions of the state being elected to Office, ana
the general activity shown by them in matters
of civic betterment, is a start of the refining
influence in all big things that cannot be denied
There is no reason why women should not
serve on juries if they really want this KIND
of work. In many cases tried in this county
q woman's patience and intuition Is needed
Some trials might prove rather embarrass-
ing or trying upon their finer impulses, but
as Sheriff Wyckoff and the jury commission
intend to show great caution in selecting the
women to act on iuries. it is certain that no
woman will be called into a case that might
prove Objectionable to her.
The sheriff has shown excellent judgment in

PUBLIC MUST SEE III THROUGH.

Senator Borah has well said that, with the
disarmament conference assured. the real task
has only begun, and public opinion will have
to finish what public opinion started" 1t is
the literal truth. If this fact is lost sight of
and public interest wanes, there will be little
accomplished.
This is not said in disparagement or distrust
of the government at Washington or of the
government of any other country. 1t may be
taken for granted that the statesmen of every
country concerned, and especially the American
representatives, will do their best. But certain
facts of human nature have to be recognized.
1t is people rather than governments that
are interested in disarmament. This is neces-
sarily so. The heads of navies never want to
diminish or limit their forces. They do not
consider it safe. Professional pride and special
ization affect their perspective and warp their
Judgment. 1t is the same with the heads of
armies. Military experts are VIGOROUSLY clamor-
Gus for large forces, not smaller ones. Heads
of governments, having a multitude OF things
to deal with, naturally listen to those who are
considered experts, and are themselves likely
to be swayed by traditional views. 1t is the
exceptional man in public life who, in a re-
sponsible executive position, can take a per-
fectly fresh view of a situation, and frame a
new, living, correct %judgmen of it.
The public, acting together, is better able to
furnish this new view, and so it is from the
and expression of living public
opinion that nearly all big reforms are accom-
plished.
The public in almost every country today Is
demanding disarmament, as the best Immediate
way to lessen the burdens left by the war, and
also as the best way in sight to discourage war
fare hereafter. Statesmen, though wanting
peace as much as others, are still somewhat
and reluctant. They have to be driven.
The public has forced this disarmament con-
ference, and the public will have to keep on
the Job il It is to get what it wants.

A woman confided to a friend that
her cup of sorrow was very nearly
full; she had an unsympathetic hus-
band. She said:
Il am sick, and he will not be-
lieve it.i
What is your trouble? ?" asked
her friend.
1T is a affection" she re-
piled. 81 have been to many special
lists, and they say it is an obscure
case. Several have told me it is the
most perplexing cas- they have ver

'They lie to you," replied her
friend. "There is nothing obscure
about it. You need to do your own
housework, and have something to
think about besides your own mag
mary aches and pains"
Found No Comfort
The woman departed, weeping Bit
terly. Not only was she abused by
her unsympathetic husband, whom
she described as "horrid'' in his lack
of sympathy, but she had not found
comfort in the friend to whom she
had came.
She ought to have been thankful
for so honest a friend.

deciding that women who have children to take
care of and other family duties to attend to,
and women who have to work to take care of
their families, would be done an injustice by
being chosen for jury duty.
The women of Perth Amboy and Middlesex
county have received full recognition at last.
AS never before are they on an equal footing
with the male voters. We trust that when they
are called they will respond with the same
spirit and willingness" shown by their hus-
bands, fathers and brothers.

BLOOD TESTS WISE

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Many centuries ago
King Solomon in his great wisdom. hit upon a
simple and excellent way of finding out which
one of two claimants was the mother of a
certain child. He merely offered to cut the
child in half and award a portion to each. one
woman agreed. tho other demurred, and the
wise patriarch decided that the one who objected
must be entitled to the babe.
Now the claim has been brought forward
that tho fatherhood of children can be de-
termined by surgery of a much less drastic
kind. 1t is claimed that examination of the

THE ROAD SITUATION.

Once again the road situation in Central New
Jersey has assumed a more encouraging out.
look. With street repair wrok about completed
at South Amboy, which will eliminate a con.
fusing detour through the streets of that city
and with a improved detour system at CIiffwood
to Matawan, on the route to the shore, some
thing that looks like normal road conditions
is about to return. Indications also point to
the fact that it will not be long before the
entire main route to the shore by the way of
Keyport will be opened to vehfcular traffic.
While drivers of motor trucks and pleasure
car agreed that roads in this section were
ir deplorable, conditions and while improve
ments were urged on all sides, when work is
started and the main roads closed to traffic a
some grounds for complaint, especially where
detours were not placed in safe and passable
condition., still the task of the State Highway
Commission has been a severe one. Many prob
lens have confronted the state engineers, and
serious obstacles have delayed the work to a
large extent. Roads have to be paved when
weather conditions permit. They cannot be
rebuilt in the dead of winter. when motorists
have no idea of travelling the state and county
highways pleasure bent. Roads have to be
IXeu, IL appears, WHEN lne I'LL travel is dl
its heighth, and, of course detours are the only
solution If people are to be allowed to travel.
But the detours should be placed in as good
condition as possible before the main roads are
closed.
The detour between Cliffwood and Matawan
was one Of the worst in the state. Great diff
fculty and delays were experienced during the
traffic jam over every weekend and holiday.
However, the State Highway Commission finally
devised a system of one-way roads for traffic in
each direction that did much to better con-
dition at that point. The roads were kept in
as good shape as possible and traffic moved
along at a fairly good rate.
1t is hoped that there will be no change in
the plans to keep open the bridge over the
Matawan creek at Keyport. The main road is
opened at that point. The temporary struc-
ture should be ready as soon as the main span
is closed for repairs and the shore highway
opened.
Government officials complain that the public
buffalo herds are multiplying too rapidly. That's
easily remedied. Give the Boy Scouts a chance
at them.
