pathians Hungarian kings were
crowned until the years toward the
close of our Revolutionary war, a
very recent event in the perspective
Of Magyar history. The ruins of
the royal palace, burned during our
war of 1912 because, one story has
it, workmen grew tired of carrying
supplies up the 270-foot climb. still
crown the hill. Smugglers used
these ruins, in the last few years, as
q signal tower. And among the
kings that Bradshaw knew was
Maria Rex so called because the
fierce Magyars of that day, like the
Israelites of old, could not forego
the national precedent for a titular
KING.

Only Wives Unframed.
Now the strange part of it is that
his marriage is a business which Is
supposed to require no training
whatever. The woman who wants
to be a doctor must study hard for
tour years. She who succeeds in
writing often serves a hard appren-
ticeship for longer than that busi-
ness, science, nursing, welfare work

| go-require hard and definite train

| destinies of n man and three or
four children are to be trusted, re-
quires no training whatever, accord
ing to the American custom. Most
| of the training her mother gives her
is designed to teach her now to
catch the man, not how to take care
of him or raise his offspring. The
high school teaches her French and

| adds music, classic dancing and tea
| pouring.
1t is true that she may find in
| either of these places a course of in
struction known vaguely as "domes-
tic. science" and it usually consists
of a little instruction in cookery.
But of the realities and difficulties OF
married life, of the science of raising
and educating children, not one
American girl in a thousand is ever
taught anything. No doubt the

PUBLIC OPINION
PRAISE FOR MIR. HULSE
Editor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
We all know of the good work
that Mr.. Henry S. Hulse, Jr., Of the
Grammar school, gave the teachers,
pupils and the citizens of Perth
Amboy. The greatest tribute that
Hulse when DR.. w. Spader Willis
Of the New Jersey State Normal
School said: 1.-THE Grammar school
a compare favorably with any
school in the state"
The work for which Mr.. Hulse
has been greatly responsible lies in
the personality with which he is en-
dowed. He is the type of a man
who can ecu and has secured 100
per cent. plus cooperation. He is
the type that can put owe in fine
fashion two great big Red Cross
drives CATER the war is over). He
is the type Of a man who can serve
as an inspiration to the Boy Scouts
and which he has done. He is well
deserving of a great share of the
credit which goes out to scouting n
Amboy. He was one of the inter-
ested people who helped to re-estab-
lish the Home for the Aged on a
| sound footing.
Is a man of that style, that per-
SOnallLy, LndL CIVIC
which he has already proven beyond
q doubt he possesses, too good for
Perth Amboy? Is the man who has
the credit of adjusting, working and
finally establishing himself as the
head of one of the best Grammar
schools in the state of New Jersey,
too good for Perth Amboy? Is It
fair to the little children who can
not fully express their true senti-
ments to have taken from them one
whom they love?
The voters cannot express by bal
lot their dissatisfaction of the work
of the responsible committee be-
cause this committee is an appoint

that there is a responsible commit
tee and that this committee has net
done it's best to retain zone Good

TOO Good for Perth Amboy" don't
go hand in hand. 1t is not consist

q wealth of opportunity, such as
women have never enjoyed before IN
any age or country. 1t is r that
she has certain legal disabilities, and
that she is apt to be paid less for the
same work than a man. But her SIS
tiers are organized to remove those
legal disa bilities and her situation in
all sorts of work is steadily improv-
ing, while there are few things In
life from which she is barred by her
sex. She can get as much education
as IN man. Science and medicine
both offer her opportunities OIL

opportunities are open to her on
every hand. She has almost as much
social freedom as a man. She can
and does travel and go about alone,
and choose her own associations. The
chaperon and the escort play just
about as large a part in her life as
she wishes them to play, and no
larger.
This creates an ideal situation for
the woman of brains and energy,
who wants to enter a profession or
business, who has a definite craving
for independence and self-govern-
ment. There are many thousands
of women in America who have
availed themselves of their unusual
opportunities to the full, and who
present to the world a heartening

and independence. But the great
majority of women do not strongly
crave achievement and independ-

do not differ in this respect from

WASHINGTON, Jan. THAT

idea that seems to be steadily gain

It got another recommendation
the other day when DR.. Simon katz-

told the Bridgeport Board Of Educa-

purpose of training girls in the dim

said that American girls get no
training at home in this line, n
therefore the schools must give IL.
He placed all the blame for dlvorce
and the general failure of marriage
on the ignorance of American girls
Apparently DR.. Katzoff was con-
cerned chiefly with the girls POSI-
tion as wife rather than as mother,
| his criticisms of the American wife
contained nothing new. He simply
limited what every international OBJ
server has stated, that the Amerl-
can woman is a tyrant in her nome,

AGENTS DISCOVER A
 $250,OOO RUM HOARD
Quantities of Liquor Found in New York Cellar; Champagne in Sealed Room.

New York, Oct. 12-A tip that liquor was being carried into the five story building at 13o West Third street came recently to Ralph A. Day, prohibition director. The building is warehouse and garage not far from where Sixth avenue loses itself in Greenwich village.
 Yesterday fifteen of the raiders of John H. Applby, zone chief, bounced into the place and found s250,00o worth of spirits. There were 1000 cases of Melvale rye whiskey, 300 cases of champagne, 15o gallons of wine and 800 gallons of alcohol. Per- mts and bonding certificates were ex- hibited for everything but the cham pagne and the alcohol, worth about s4o,O0o. They were seized.
 The champagne was hidden in a completely walled in room of the eel lar. To reach it the raiders removed three ton stamping machine and cut a hole in the floor. The whiskey, wines and alcohol were on upper floors.
 The whole Italian quarter in addi- ton to Greenwich village, turned out to watch the invasion and the carting away of the stuff, which took hours. In the midst of the furry an automo- bile truck in front of the building caught fire. What with the smoke and the firemen and everything even the most sophisticated villagers en- tertained something like thrill.

Berlin, Oct, 12.--About the only thing that can be bought in Germany today for one mark Is a wire nall Under the present quality standards of production" remarks a native pes simist, the nail may or may not be strong enough to hang ones self on after he has looked over. the other in- creases in prices"
 Before the war a thousand marks would pay for twenty suits of clothes. Today that sum will purchase vest. A good piano could be bought then for 900 marks. a sum now required Tor nelr of boys shoes. Five hun dred pre-war marks suffced to build a small house. while now it scarcely foots the bill for two pairs of worfl- ems woolen stockings. Two pounds of butter can be found on the market today for 400 marks, or the pre-war price of milch COW.
 One cannot get a spool of thread today for the former price of sew ing machine. Fifty marks once bought lady's silk dress; now f, will buy cheap handkerchief. There was time, some eight years ago, when one could get bottle Of champagne for what 1t costs now to ride on the subway. Two cigarettes are worth what hundred of the same quality cost in 1914.
 To follow the daily rise in prices at the present time, the Berlin news paper reader must pay six marks for a copy of his favorite journal. In the good old days" the paper cost him sixty times less, or ten pfennigs.

 "The possibility of such transmit tation on any scale is of enormous im- portance.

In that case, if all thef hydrogen on earth were detonated into space, the sue cessfut experiment would be pub lished throughout the entire universe as the birth of a new star.
