WE'LL MERITED APPOINTMENTS.

Mayor Wilson has shown good judgment IN
mis- choice of men for the detective force In this
city. The fact that John Murray and Michael
Muska have been making good as acting detec-
tives so long would in itself warrant the action
o. the mayor in naming them permanently for
that branch of the police service. Before going
on plain clothes duty they established = record
for themselves as patrolmen. Murray's services
as traffic officer at State and Smith streets max
ing him particularly popular with the public.
The Perth Amboy police force Is shaping up
into a most efficient organization. Good men
are being brought to the front regardless of out
side Affiliations. A lively pace is being set; the
inenicient men are being left behind. 1t is plain
that once the men realize that merit wins and
that faithful performance of duty is rewarded,
the rank and file can be depended upon to do
their part.
Taking the police force as a whole, Chief Tom
nesen has a fine body of men under him and he
knows how to handle them. The confidence
that the people used to have in the police de-
partment Is being rapidly restored and by stick
ing strictly to duty, performing the Disagree
able work in the same conscientious manner
that the more pleasant tasks are done, the repu-
tation of the local police is bound to be en-
HANGED.

@. who invented the wagon
wheel? M. E. W.
A. The p~resent-day wheel for We
hices is an evolution from the
wheels roughly made from SOLID
blocks of wood and attached to
carts which were used centuries be-
fore the Roman conquest.
@. Who said "A fool and his
none are soon p~arted?" c. L. W..
A. The we'll known phrase "A fool
and his money are soon parted" IS
an old proverb. 1t is to be found in
the Epistolae Hoeliance in the edi-
ton of 1854, and before that In the
airy S, ~1630-31.
@. Does the government appro-
pirate money for the burial of SOL
diers' widows? w. B. r.
A. The CemeteriaI Branch of the
Quartermaster Corps say that there
is no appropriation by the federal
government for the burial of SOL
diers' widows. In cases where a
soldier Is buried in a national ceme-
terry and it is anticipated that his
widow will be buried in h same
grave with him, arrangements are
made with the War Department so
that the grave will be made deep
enough for a second casket to be
placed upon the soldiers casket in
the same grave.
@. Please tell me how to clean
feather beds and pillows. c. p.
A. Choose q bright day when a
good breeze Is blowing. Have ready
a bag of c~heesecloth or thin -four
sacking, closed except where the
feathers are put into it. Rub the
entire surface of this bag with a
good quality of bar soap. Shake the
feathers into the soaped bag. This
Is best done by ripping a hole in the
pillow the size Of the hole in the bag
| and sewing the two edges together.
| After shaking the feathers into the
bag, rip the two apart and sew up
the bag. The bag should not be
over two-thirds full, Or the feathers
will not have room to expand. Fill
a washboiler with cold water: i'm
merse the bag of feathers and slow
ly bring to a boil. Lift and turn the
bag frequently with the clothes
stick. Boil for 2 or 8 minutes. Re-
move and rinse thoroughly in plenty
OF cold water. Drain and squeeze
out all the water possible; shake and
hang in the wind in the shade to
dry, which will require about two
days. Do not try to shake the down
clinging to the inside of the ticking
immense right side out in water and
the down will roll UP in balls and
be removed easily.

Franklin bid his last farewell to his son. He
made the journey from Philadelphia in an eff

RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason.
ENCOURAGEMENT

The nan who holds exalted place
sees grief around, knee deep, and
tears would trickle down his face if
he had time to weep. Because he
is a shining mark the knockers seek
his trail: from early morn till after
dark they roar and kick and wall.
And so the great mans heart is sore,
and life seems gray and fiat. and oft
at night he walks the floor and
wonders where he's at. We choose
a skipper for our ship, a skipper
brave and strong, but ere he's had a
chance to skip We show him where
he's wrong. We say he's steering
for the rocks before he's under way,
and criticisms, sneers and knocks
confound him day by day. Encour-
agement the skipper courts, and all
he gets is blame; and yet we think
we're dead game sports, who play a
decent game. The man who has a
station high is much like Richard
Roe: If he is praised he'll strive and
try to make the business go. He's
just as human as he was when he
was pounding sand; his mature
doesn't change because he's fore
most in the land. With honest pride,
emotions high. he feels his bosom
swell, when people rear on end and
cry. Good boy! You're doing well!'

clerical worker in an office have? X.

A. The Public Health Service says
that 70 square feet are required for

@. What causes the earth to turn

A. The Naval Observatory says
the earth turns on it's axis in accord
ance with the first law of motion, j.
e., having received an original I'M
pulse Of rotation 1t will continue to
rotate uniformly unless acted on by
some external force.
Q. Have all Catholic Popes been
Italians? s. F.. r.

who have not been italian. 1t is
officially stated that Adrian the Nv.

Beautiful as Is the Weakening of
nature to new life after the pause
of winter, the phenomenon has
other aspects which may now and
then give us occasion for thought as
we behold the verdure Of the earth
in spring and early summer. The
plants are our indispensable friends.
They are our soul reliance for the
continuity of the life Of man upon
this globe.
The energy of the universe is be-
lieved to. be conserved somewhere:
so far as known there is-no ulti-
mate waste of it. But the energy
available for use grows less. and
steadily Is dissipated. OF the en-
ergy Of the sunlight falling on h
earth, no very great fraction is
used; and as for that which rad
ates through space, nearly all, so
far as we know, is wasted. There
are seven or eight little worlds that
stop a trivial part of it: the rest Is
dissipated. If 1t is conserved, as we
believe and hope 1T Is somewhere
far beyond our reach.
But of that energy which reaches
the earth, no form of animal life is
capable of laying hold and trans
forming it into tissue. Vegetable
life only can do that. DR.. E. e.

TOO DUMB TO VOTE!

Baron Saito, the Japanese governor OF Korea,
has opened a fine field for research by his re-
fusal to extend the electoral law to the natives
under his charge.
He says the Koreans are mentally incapable
of exercising the duties of citizenship.
In other words, they are too dumb to vote.
How dumb must a person be to be denied the
ballot? 1t surprises a citizen of this republic
to learn that any manor woman either--out-
side a BOBBY hatch, can be termed too dumb to
vote.
Here for years we've been voting dummies of
every kind and caliber-even dead men in a
crisis-and not getting excited about it.
1t would be interesting to find out exactly
how dumb is a Korean and how much dumber
is a dumb Korean than a dumb American poll
tician.
Let's hope the Japanese aren't going to get
too fussy and establish a lot of mental stand
ards in the Far East that will stir up all sorts
of complications il they creep westward.
American politicians like their constituents
dumb and they'll be everlastingly dumbfound-
ed il they're ever anything else.

Amt Doctors the Mean Things!

Some one is always taking the joy out OF
Corn Fed girl and all of our argument in favor
Of Corn Feds, here comes the Journal of the
American Medical Association with a report
that fat Ia a burden and an incubus and that
it shortens life and produces discomfort and
disbursement. We are also told that fat puts
that it pushes up the diaphragm and cramps
the lungs.
Is that so! Well, 1t doesn't put bones In the
chest and angles in the joints. And 1t doesn't
push one hip higher than the other, because
the Corn Fed has her own hips, not store hips.
And it doesn't cramp the chest and the hips so
that you look like a bed Stat. And it doesn't
put a strain on the shoulders wearing sus-
penders to hold the skirt up.
This medical authority also announces that
fat results in "overfeeding." Well, 1t doesn't.
A Corn Fed girl doesn't eat half as much as
o thin girl. She is afraid to. She would.
rather go hungry than make two curves grow
where but one grew before.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The quick
melting away of the premium of the
American dollar over the British
pound sterling has been halted
Stated conversely, the rapid recov-
cry of the pound after Its slump
between midsummer 1920 and the end
of last year has been at least tenn
porarily checked
Since the motivating forces behino
the rally in the pound sterling were
not fully comprehended, IT Is not
feasible to be overdogmatic as TO
the reason for the reaction. especial
ly since day-to-day movements In
the foreign exchange market are
frequently without broad economic
Significance, but merely results OF
the creaking of the machinery OF
the market place.
And yet II seems more than
curious coincidence that the setback
in sterlitg began on the very day
that intimations were made in Eng
land that dollars would be accumu-
lated through the sale OF sterling
soon for the purpose of resuming
Interest payments on the British war
debt to the United States Treasury,
although the Treasury last year
agreed to defer receipt OF interest
on the entire allied debt for three
years.

the effects OF the recent unpleasant
ness with the Central Powers the
more i am convinced that the good
accomplished was infnitesmal. Men
are fools to risk their lives in
war which does not directly affecs
their individual happiness and homes
How the German ruling power could
persuade presumably sensible
people to make such tremendous sac
rifces in an aggressive campaign is
more than l can fathom. This Is even
more of mystery. as we must in
fairness admit that our enemies could
compare very favorably with the
most of our allies in morals, brains
and industry. i say all this looking

manner and putting aside temporarily
