 JEWISH COUNCIL HERE

The Phoenix Council of Jewlsn Women entertained a distinsulsneu visitor last evening at dinner at the Adams hotel in the person Of Mrs; Felix A. Levy of Chicago, natlonai chairman of the committee on rehgloh Of the Council of Jewish Women.
 Forty were present at the dinner and were greatly interested in a talk given by Mrs. Levy, who made piea for the spiritual value of life in the home and for the work of women as individuals in national and interna- tional affairs.

 The members of the Phoenix Council of Jewish Women, after being organ ized for four years and waiting long for the visit of national officer, greatly appreciated the coming of Mrs. Levy. They feel that her visit is an inspiration.
 Accompanying Mrs. Levy was her husband, Felix A. Levy. rabbi of Tenn pie Manuel of Chicvago and secretary of the Conference of American Rabbis.

His bicycle was found sl.er midnight Friday, where he had Ieft 1t before entering the automobile near Elizabeth street The police de- partment of Asheville reported the Identity of the automobile in which the lad left is known and that an ar rest was expected momentarily.
 Dr. Barrett went to Asheville several weeks ago on a vacation and had been Irving at 53 Panola street with his son. lie was formerly colonel in the medi- cal corps and commanding officer of the Camp Hancock base hospital He was chief of the section of internal medicine of the surgeon generals office or the army in Washington during the war and is a prominent physician of New York city.
 The domestic troubles of the Barretts first became public when in 1918 Dr. Barrett brought suit in New York city for divorce and the custody of the child. The case was heard by referee, but before the report of the referee was
Arizona republican., 1921-03-02

confirmed the matter was dropped and a reconciliation reached. The court, however. awarded the custody of the child to the father
 In August. 1919. the trouble started again and pr. Barrett and his wife were separated. The father retained possession of the child, the boy being placed in school in New England. Dur ing this time it is understood that the mother threatened many times to take the child and the father declined to state his whereabouts. Finally the mother located the child and instituted habeas corpus proceedings in a New York court in March, 1920. In response to this writ the father produced the child at the court during the Easter holidays. In the meantime another suit for divorce had been instituted. The child then became temporarily the ward of the court
 Three days later the mother is said to have taken the child by force and
 then her attorneys started action to have the writ set aside, as they evil dently had accomplished their purpose and secured possession of the child. A referee was again appointed. not only to look into the divorce suit. but to decide whether the mother should be held in contempt of court
 As result of this action the father was awarded full legal custody of the child on Nov IS, 1920
 Some days later. while William ans his father were window-shopping on Broadway, New York, four husky men lifted the lad from the curb into a waiting automobile He next turned up at the Hotel Hollywood with his mother only to be 'kidnaped' again and recovered by her. Since them, 1t is said. this shuttlecock of lad has passed back and forth between father and mother several times

TALK THAT IS NOT HOT AIR

This the way Mayor Archibald, of Newark, talks:
Every municipality will profit through a Greater New
ark. This city's taxes have reached the limit. They must be
made lower to attract new industries. If the smaller towns
continue on their separate ways the sewer and water prob
lens will become more difficult TO solve. Newark is the
mother of them all. The vast majority of suburban residents
are commuters. 1t is essential that something should be
done now. The feasibility of a Greater Newark can be deter
mined by representatives of all the municipalities involved.
There is one assurance-the project will do everything for
everybody that has been claimed for it,"
The mayor was speaking at a meeting in Newark Thurs
day night when the agitation was started for the annexation
of Elizabeth, Belleville, Bloomfield, Irvngton, East Orange,
South Orange and the Town of Union to Newark. The eco
monte benefits to he derived from the a~malgamation of
Newark and neighboring municipalities were f~orcibly point
ed out. The economic benefits shared by these various mu-
inequalities. it was commended, would certainly tend to reduce
The tax rate.

FERRY compANy,s IDEA OF JOY RIDING

1t looks as if definite action by the grand jury is the only
way that the public using the ferry can get relief from the
present intolerable condition that compels the foot passen-
gers to use the same approach that the vehicles use. The
Staten Island Rapid Transit, apparently, does not care how
many people it kills in the operation of the ferry as long as
il can rake in the coin from the automobile traffic.
AS long as people are compelled to stand and walk in
front of the vehicles going on and off the %ferryboat at Perth
AAmboy so long must the Staten Island Rapid Transit assume
share of the Responsibility for any accident that occurs
.use of this condition. 1t would seem to be within the
y of the grand jury to indict the ferry company for gross
III yenee.
III The fact that this ferry operates between two states
Ykes it difficult to get at. 1t comes under the complete
n fsdiction of neither the New Jersey Public Utility Com
mission nor the New York Public Service Commission. Being
inter- state, it really is under the authority of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, but that body has so many great
problems before it all the time that It is hard to get it to give
any consideration to this local matter.
However, there is some ground for the Board of Free
holders to act and it is to be hoped that they will not dis
appoint the people. Perhaps some assistance on the part
Of the grand jury, in the light of recent occurrences at the
ferry here, will help spur them on.

STATE HIGHWAY BUMPS AND COUNTY AID

While the Board of Freeholders are planning to help
out the State Highway Commission next year by %repaving
the stretch of the Lincoln Highway between Metuchen and
New Brunswick with the idea of having the state refund the
money later, it might be well also to consider that other
state highway within the county known as Route No. 4.
This pavement is particularly bad between Perth Amboy and
Woodbridge beginning at the bottom of Spa Spring hill and
extending to Alpine cemetery. What does the State High
way Commission propose to do with this?
There is an opportunity here to save a mile or two of
travel and, incidentally, make possible the development of
some valuable land bordering ON the railroad. This can be
done by establishing a new right of way for Route No. 4 fur
And Perth Amboy.
Perth Amboy's City Plan Commission has an interesting
proposition TO make, also, III connection with this Route No.
{ as it passes through this city. By widening and extending
cleveland avenue it would joint the present route at the
Florida Grove road just north of the new Barber asphalt
plant and extend in almost a direct line across the western
end of the city to Convery place and then to the proposed
new state highway bridge. These things ought to be taken
;nto consideration before my grea! amount of money is
spent on Route No. i between this city and Woodbridge.
However, the present condition Of this route makes it
imperative that something be done. The road is almost as
bad now as it was after the heavy winter OF a year or two
ago. Travel is becoming unbearable. There must be an i'm
provement before the tremendous traffic to the shore sets in
next summer While the Lincoln Highway between Me
tuehen and New Brunswick could be greatly improved, es-
peciaIly in regard to its width, as far as actual conditions
are concerned, it is not nearly as badly in need of attention
as Route No. 4 between Perth Amboy and Woodbridge.

FOOLS AND ANGELS
BY DIR. w. E. BARTON

upon the dial. then some fool rushes
IN. and turns the hour-glass upside
down, and the world starts anew.
Fools are made to do the work
which the angels see needs TO be
done but are too conservative to do.
Sinners sometimes perform the
good work which the saints nave
long neglected. Let him that Is
without sin or folly cast the hrst
stone at them.
For myself, I intend to stand
among those wise men who acknowl-
edge the sagacity of fools. l admire
the men who for the sake of the
good which all men acknowledged
but which the wise could not find a
way to perform, dared the reproach
of folly for the display of the great
err wisdom. Among them are the
adventures, the inventors. the
martyrs, and also now and then
some millionaires.
Not all the great fortunes were
made by sitting tight and cutting
coupons. Among the rich whom all
admire are q few brave fools who
happened to guess correctly.
l admire the angel. But the
angels themselves were less safely
protected but for the temerity of the
fools.

army and navy. h is the only
nation in Asia that has not been

to lay down that gun.
Anglo-Jap Alliance.
None-the-less world peace de-
ponds largely upon the renuncia-
ton by Japan of her imperialistlc
ambitions in Asia generally m IN
China In particular. These ambitions
are made possible largely by her al
lance with Great Britain. If this al
lance come to an end the militar-
istic party in Japan will be weak
ened, and without losing anything
that is rightfully hers, japan will
probably be forced to adopt a for
eign policy less menacing to her
neighbors and to the peace OF the
world.
1t is clear then that a leading OBJ
iect of the conference for the United
States is to prevent a renewal or the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. 1t is here,
in the opinion of experts, that our
diplomacy will be tested. The al
lance will probably be explained as
one that does not in any way men,
ace our interests. 1t is probable, too,
that we will be invited to join 1t,
making it a triple alliance.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance has
been an extremely profitable relation
for both of the principals. They
will not give it up without a strug-
gle. But the best-informed opinion
in this country is that American in
terests demand a complete divorce
ment of British and japanese in
t~erests. and a definite alignment OF
Great Britain behind American Pa
cific policy.
1t should not be forgotten that
international agreements often have
clauses which are not published, and
sometimes work put in ways that
could scarcely be deduced from their
wording. 1t seems probable thai
American diplomacy and American
public opinion should stand firmly
against any sort of Anglo-Japanese
alliance, regardless of its wording or
of its projected inclusion of this
country. By reason of her inan-
cial strength alone, America is in a
position to enforce her point of view,
if her representatives are shrewd
enough. American diplomacy was
outwitted at Versailles. 1t a been
outwitted ar least once since then.
Undoubtedly there are many per-
sons who expect it to be outwitted
again in Washington.

He who said beauty is only skim
deep did not know what he was
talking about. A beautiful COM
plexion walks hand in hand with
good health. The complexion. good
or bad, comes from within the
body. You can be assured that ev-
eryone with a good complexion has
a good Working body. Men should
have good compilations, but every
woman needs a good complexion
and every woman wants it. There
can be no real beauty without IT.
When the complexion is good the
scalp is normal, the growth of the
is more lu4uriant. and it has a
luster that gives it it's charm: The
eyes also have a sparkle that is en-
gaging. Every person. young or old
is entitled to a good complexion
and may have it, at least they can
improve il.
To maintain a clear, healthy COM
plexion il is necessary to eliminate
all wastes of the body promptly. II
daily termination of waste is equai
to the production of waste In the
body, good compilations Will be the
rule and bad ones the exception.
Wastes are not promptly elimi-
mated because the right food Is not
eaten. Elimination cannot go on
thoroughly unless the intestines are
kept in a filled-up condition by eat
ing the food that leaves a residue
in the intestinal tube after digestion
has done it's part. Concentrated food
leaves little or no residue.
Every farmer knows hat his live
stock in winter, needs to be fed
what he calls roughage; that is,
straw. IT fills up the stomach n
the intestinal tube. This filling up
is necessary for animals; II is
equally necessary for human beings.
The reason for sluggish elimina-
ton is the eating OF food that is

too highly concentrated and leaves
little or no residue in the intestinal
tube. The concentrated forms in
which foods are now produced are
largely to blame.
Such concentrated foods are SUI
gars, starches, fats, fruit juices and
all fluid foods leave little or no res
idue. They are almost wholly alb
sorbed from the intestinal tube and
sent to the tissues and organs of
the body.
Other foods with a content. such
as skins and seeds of fruit, the
outer covering of grain. such as
bran of wheat and the skin of corn,
the stringy portions of vegetables,
as found in the outer layers of cell
cry, substantially all raw vegetables
and especially raw cabbage, the
body of asparagus, spinach, string
beans, oranges, nuts, raisins,
prunes, the fiber of meats. all leave
q residue, because they are soluble
or digestible and consequently are
not absorbed.

The more 1 mediate upon this
wise aphorism, the more respect L

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-That
there are but two world powers, and
that the Washington conference is
really an effort to reach an agree
ment between these two, which will
stabilize international relations
enough to permit the reduction OF
naval ornaments, is the view held
by many of the best informed OBJ
servers
The two powers, of course, are the
United States and Great Britain.
France and Italy + powers in Eu-
rope but in their present condition,
neither of them can alone exert a
decisive influence upon world af-
fairs. Japan is the one Asiatic pow
er, but she is not a world power is
stands alone. Her important part in
the international affairs of the last
twenty years has been made possible
by her alliance with England.
The public is prone to regard the
conference as an effort to make war
impossible by agreements for the re-
duction of ornaments to the point
where the nations will not be able
to fight. As a matter of fact, dis
armament is a minor phase of the
conference. Military disarmament
probably will not e. be discussed.
Naval ornaments will at most be
limited in such a way as to reduce
the burdens of taxation and per-
haps pave the way for further re-
duction at some future time. But
such a reduction would not make
war impossible or even much more
improbable than it now is.
There are in the world certain
forces of military and economic I'M

are present in all Of the countries
represented at the conference except
China. But in some other countries
thew are more clearly dominant
than in others. To curb these forces
is the real object of the conference,
or at least, it's best hope of taking a
step toward insuring peace. The
conference will be another great er-
hibition OF diplomatic horse-tradlng,
like the meeting at Versailles, put
it need not be as futile as that n
was. 1t cannot hope to make war
impossibIe. 1t is even among the
possibilities that it will precipitate a
war. But it is also among the posi-
bilities that it will be a setback
for i~mperialistic ambition in several
quarters, that it will check nayal
building. and that it will establish
an equilibrium in world aftalrs
which will make another world war
improbable for a long time. During
that time the revulsion OF men
against war, which has been Slowly
growing since the Middle Ages, VIII
have a chance to grow stronger sun
growth OF this feeling is the only
thing that can ever really prevent
war. Governments inevitably make
wars, but when the common man re-
fuses to fight them Or pay for them,
the governments will be disarmed
indeed.
Japan's Policy.
One of the countries i'll which the
imperialistic or war-making feeling
is more clearly dominant is Japan
That fact is recognized in Manchu-
