THE WHITE HOUSE CHINA
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 1S.-China used
by the Presidents-from a Canton porcelain
plate belonging to George Washington down to
pieces Of the Wilson state dining set-is no"
on exhibition in the White House.
A room in the executive mansion off the
ground floor corridor has been set aside as a
collection room and fitted with colonial cabinets
Here, on shelves lined with ivory colored VeiVet,
are 236 pieces Of historic glass, silverware ana
china-souvenirs of every President up to MI
Harding, with the one exception or Andrew
Johnson. AS President Johnson is known to
have duplicated the Lincoln china for his use
he may be said in a way to be represented ny
some of the Lincoln souvenirs.
1t is too soon for the present executive ana
his wife to add their contribution to the por-
celain hall Of fame. Mrs. Harding has not YET

odd pieces for family use, but it Is not hkely
that a new state set will be needed for several
years anyway, as the wilson stale SET Matt
was bought in 1903 by Mrs. Roosevelt, and con,
tanned about 1, 200 pieces. 1t stood fifteen years
hard service, but White House china, like any
other, gets Clipped and sets are broken.
Mrs. Wilson had seen an exhibit of American
made china and determined to order from a
New Jersey pottery. Several Presidents wlves

NEED OF REAL CITY PLAN.

Zoning the city to provide residential. bust
ness and industrial sections Is one Of the first
essentials of city planning. But It is only one
Of the features of a city plan. 1t ought not
20 be tackled by itself. The zones ought to be
made to fit in with every other contemplated
municipal development.
Perth Amboy needs q real city plan. It
needs an extension of its corporate limits so
as to include much of the surrounding territory
and the city plan should provide for such
extension. A broad boulevard as an approach
to the new state highway bridge ought to be
provided for. Plans for the development Of
the waterfront both for parks and for COM
mercial purposes, ought to be provided. Prop
erty for adequate parks and Fairgrounds in the
more thickly settled parts Of the city ought to
be secured and developed.
The Board of Aldermen recently awarded
several new contracts for sewers. This has
been done without consideration for the future.
In the first place, any new sewers laid In Perth
Amboy ought to provide for separate drainage.
The sewer carrying the house drainage ought
to be separate from the storm sewers carrying
surface drainage. Before many years have
passed the city will be compelled to treat its
sewage and dispose of 1t in a more sanitary
way than merely dumping the raw sewage into
the bay. The fact that the city's sewers today
carry both storm water and house drainage
makes the treatment of the sewage impossible.
This is the great obstacle in combining all the
sewers that now flow out across the beaches
into one trunk sewer. The cost of building a
sewer large enough to care for storm water
as well as house sewage would be enormous.
But It is not doing any good to 90 ahead
building more combination sewers when It Is
known that within a few years the work Will
have to be done all over again. This Is going
to involve a tremendous expense. With every
new sewer built the old way this expense Tor
the next generation increases.
The city could pay for an expert to draw a
city plan with the saving that
could be brought about by having all future
sewers laid right in the first place instead OF
going ahead under the present haphazaro
method without a plan.
The future development OF Perth Amooy Is
really in the hands of the city plan commission
Tins far it has not shown any inclination 10.

Now that Einstein has come and
gone, we may be hearing less about
RELATIVELY. On the other hand. we
may find a tendency to extend the
scope of that idea from physics into
morals.
is there any absolute right and
wrong, or are things only relatively
wrong and right? Is virtue. to quote
from the first high school essay Of
william H. Seward, 1.-THE best Of the
vices?" Do things become right or
wrong by reason of circumstances,
and not by any inherent properties?
I think we can face that question
calmly, and say that human conduct
in the moral sphere is largely a rela-
tive matter.
For myself, I do not like the de-
rivation of the word religion" from
the words which mean ITO bind
back" but rather from those which
mean ito lie along SIDE" ito be re-
lated" Religion itself Is q matter
of relationships, or relatively.
But some things are fixed, far be-
yond the shifting degrees Of conven-
ton; they inhere in the very struc-
ture of human life.

And the grass serenely blue:
II might have been that grapes on
thorns
And figs on thistles grew.
It might have been that rainbows
bright
Before the showers came:
II might have been that lambs were
fierce,
And bears and tigers tame.
It might have been that cold would
melt,
And summer heat would freeze;
It might have been that ships at sea
Would sail against the breeze.
And there may be worlds unknown
dear.
Where we might find the change
From all thai we have seen or heard
To others just as strange
But it never could be wise. dear,
In hate to act or speak;
It never could be noble
To harm the poor or weak;
It never could be kind, dear,
To give a needless pain;
It never could be honest
To sin for greed of gain.
And there could not be a world, dear,
While God Is true aboye,
Where right and wrong are governed
BY any law but love.
That is the first and final act Of
moral relativity-our relation to the
law Of love.

In day when terrible crimes were

pretty little woman with an air of
youthful innocence. One day she was In
troduced by her husband to Godin de
st. Croix. young cavalry officer OF
gay ways. The scandal of their rela-
tons soon became topic of the hour.
When the husband Of the Marquise
failed to interfere. probably because
OF his flight before creditors. her
father had st. Croix put In the Bas-
tile. There the young blade medl-
tated vengeance. A means came to
his hand through an acquaintance

be avenged on her father. He told her
of the prisoners recipes. and she tried

st. Crolx had been avenged But
more pressing matters weighed upon
him and his mistress. They needed
money. Then the natural question
arose why not poison her two brothers
and sisters so that she would inherit
the whole estate? But these guilty
lovers were crafty. They waited four
long years. when the two brothers
were despatched, with the aid of a
valet. An investigation followed, show
ing the method of their death. but
without directing attention To the
Marouise. Then st. Croix suddenly
died. He had no heirs, so the police
were called in. and found among his
papers documents which incriminated
the Marquise and the valet. The latter
was caught. tortured. and confessed.
Then he was broken alive on the
wheel. But the Marqulse had taken
flight TO England. Afterward she
went to Germany and finally TO n

Italian girl to England. toward the
close of the Seventeenth century. But
no one who saw this ivory-skinned.
dark-eyed beauty. would have thought
that she was to plunge England Into
period Of blOodshed. So her destiny
proved. for Mary Of Modena was the
embodiment OF bad luck to England.
She came over from Italy as the be-
trothed bride Of the Duke Of YorL.
In the course Of few years he as
cended the throne as James ii. al
though at the time of his marriage no
one could have foreseen that event.
James was bad king. and what Is
perhaps worse. he was a weak king.
The people muttered against him. and
his wife, Mary Of Modena, urged that
he flee. James hesitated, and he pres
emily was dethroned. William OF
Orange taking his place. Immediately
James followers banded together In
what was called the Jacobite uprls-
ings. this being play on the Latin
name for James. which Is Jacobus.
Civil strife ragged throughout the land
with untold suffering and destruction
on all sides.
Mary, watching events from France,
paid her court to Louis XIV. She Is

gallant Louis and to have persuaded
him to declare her son the true king
Of England. instead Of William. Louis

flict which had preceded II In Eng

allies when Louis declared his own

ran with blood. The struggle lasted
IA years and before II ended practical

England and undying fame for him

France just escaped 'alling into the
clutches of her enemies.
Mary. the maker OF wars. had well
earned the name. But she still was
unsatisfied. and when peace finally
came she used all OF her blandish-
ments to stir up new Jacobite trou-
