WHY WAR TAXES STILL HAVE
TO BE PAID.

Attorney General Daugherty is evil
IDENTIFY in earnest about the investi-
cations he is having made of the
profiteering done by government con-
tractors during the war. He has issued
the statement that he hopes to be
able to acquire enough evidence to
send few of them to jail. Reports of
findings include the following account
of the lavish expenditures made by
contractors at Camp johnson, Fla,
where there were cost plus" plans of
building ii. e. per cent for them
selves of everything bought for the
government Here is the kind of food
they ate:
"Cavair at 1892 pound, pompano
at 40 cents a h., broilers at AZ cents
h.. ducks at rs cents h., turkeys
at 81 cents a b.. geese at rs cents a
h., oysters at $3.50 gallon. The COM
misary there was operated IA days,
and the government sustained a loss
of 500, 1860"
"The cost of the camp was $500,
600, The contractor received for his
profiteering $240,00O,00. "AND HE
WAS ON THE JOB JUST $50 DAYS!
In order to boost the costs so they
would be able to gobble up more mon
ey, the contractors WITHOUT OR
DERS, installed marble-tiled bath
rooms, nickle plated showers, expen-
sive spruce ties were used on the tenn
porary railroad that was built. Auto
mobiles were hired for even common
laborers to ride around in, and the cost
of this hire was s61, 100000.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that some
of these blood-sucking parasites may
be brought to justice for such outrag-
eous thievery. They are too contem-
tible for decent business.

, TIMBER BEING SAVED.

Within the last year the Depart
ment of Forestry has been reorgan-
lied throughout. The spring fire sea-
son of 1921, which is just closing,
supplies the first important test of
its efficiency under the new organ
ization.
During the past spring, ITO fires
were reported, or more than in any
other corresponding season in the his
tory of the Department. Moreover,
this was much the longest fire sea-
son recorded, lasting as it did from
early in January until the middle of
June. or five months and a half. The
average spring fire season lasts but
three.
In spite of a season of nearly double
the average length and the largest
number of fires ever reportd, the total
area burned over was reduced from
100000 acres in the spring of 1920 to
10000 in 1921.
The area of State Forest land burn
ed over in the spring of 1921 was
2O71 acres, while the next lowest
area burned was 1864 acres in 1914.
In every other spring season of re
cord, the burning of State Forest
lands was over 10000 acres
knowledge is made to the assis-
lance of thousands of Boy Scouts,
hunters and fishermen, railroad men,
and others, and of the press, the pull
pit. and the business and other inter
ests of the State, who have cooper
ated with the Department as never
before Without their help the results
achieved would have been impossible
The whole situation promises well
for what can be done with the mil
lion dollar appropriation for fire pre-
vention made by the last Legislature
and now available.

LOCAL NURSE ATTENDS
N. Y. CONFERENCE

Lambertville- Miss Jane Whitlow,
Public Health Nurse, attended con-
ference of the Red Cross Health Cen
ter Personnel of the Atlantic Division,
In New York City, last week.
The value of a Health Center in the
life of a community is shown in the
following statements, reported by
Miss Whitlow, made by prominent
speakers at the conference:
"The function of a new public
health, as eNemplfied in the Red
Cross Health Center. is the proven
ton of disease" said Dr. Charles S.
Prest, Director of Health Service of
the Atlantic Division of the American
Red Cross, at Fridays session. "Few
realize the tremendous import of
this idea and the startling innova-
ton that it presents The physician
deals with disease already present
and strives to alleviate or cure it.
His mission is to restore health. That
of the Red Cross is to prevent its
loss. There is and can be no conflict
between them. When people realize
that the onset of disease is often slow
and that any departure from complete
well-being is abnormal, physicians
will have a fair chance. Instead of &C
cepting patients when recuperative
powers have been weakened their pa
tients will come to them in so early
stage of disease that prompt and COM
plete restoration may be hoped for.
1T was as only yesterday that the
average span of life was thirty years,
but today it is AZ. AS we comprehend
that forty percent of all sickness may
be prevented, the mission of the Red
Cross Health Centers dawns upon US.
They are the outposts of new Re
public of Health. 1t was hard and
oftentimes discouraging for our fore
fathers toconquer the wilderness but
they won; and so can we help to
bring on the day when a common
knowledge of the ordinary principals
of health and sanitation is the COM
mon possession of the entire people.
Gone out of ten of all deaths of
women between the ages of IS and As
years is the cost of maternity. Ad-
equate instruction and care of pros

by half. 1t is terrible thing that the
very continuance of the race should
entail such needless sacrifice. The Red
Cross Health Centers, through their
prenatal conferences and classes are
doing much to prevent this loss.

THIEVING IN LAMBERTVILLE

There has been an epidemic of pet
ty thieving here that demands at
tention. A number of cases have been
traced to the guilty parties, but not
hing has been done about it,
At Mrs. Van Horns store a small
bolt of silk, valued at about $50, was
stolen a short time ago. William Beat
ty has had numerous articles stolen
from his delicatessen store In two in
stances he caught the theft, boy, in
the act. He appealed to the police, but
could get nothing done about it.
Last Friday night, after his place
had been broken into and small a.
mount of money stolen, Louis Price,
dairyman, stayed in his place after
it was closed, and waited in the dark
to apprehend the thief if he should
come again. His watch was rewarded
by the appearance of boy, and he
was caught in the act of coming thru
the window. Price recognized the boy,
and took him to his father, demanding
settlement.
Officer Lynch was talking with
the father when Price carried the boy
to him. The father promised to make
good the thefts. But Officer Lynch
made no attempt to impress the SER
iousness of the case upon the boy,
much less to arrest him.
The name of the boy is known, but
in the hope that the officials will
punish the boy and impress him with
the seriousness of his thievins.
If this boy is not stopped, this
paper will print his name and call
on the officials to arrest him. 1t
sounds very well to argue that there
is no need to put the city to the ex-
pense of arrest and trial. But the
property of the town is not safe. This
boy should be sent to a reformatory
if he cannot be made to behave.
If others have been troubled with
this petty thieving, they are invited
to notify this paper, and an attempt
will be made to assist in the arrest of
those who are committing the dep
radations.
