Baird, 81, Beats
Edge at Trenton

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 6.-The tri-
umph of David Baird's man, Senator
Joseph F. Wallworth of Camden, in
the fight with U. S. Senator Edges
candidate, State Senator Albin Smith
of Paterson, for the Senate presiden-
cy is of great moment to Governor
Silzer's incoming Democratic admin
istration.
1t means that President Wallworth
will name Judiciary committee that
will be controlled by Baird. This
judiciary committee will have the
power to pass on all the appointments
that will be sent to the Senate by
Governor Silzer for confirmation.
The judiciary committee can come
pretty near to sealing the fate of the
Democratic Governors nominations,
because appointments as a rule are
only confirmed after the judiciary
committee has reported favorably.
Wallworth's selection as Senate
President means that the Democratic
leaders, Silzer, Edwards, Hayne, will
have old ex-senator Baird to deal
with in case of jam or contest over
an appointees confirmation in the
Republican Senate.
Baird at the age of eighty-two is
still very spry and power not to be
despised, as was proved yesterday
when he beat Edge, little more than
half his age, in the protracted strug-
gle over the Senate presidency.

Christmas Seals,
Help to Buy Them
Palisade, N. j., Dec. 1, 1922.

Palisade, N j., Dec. 1, 1922.
Editor the Palisadian, Palisade, N. j.:
Dear Sir-On behalf of the Wom-
ans Club of Cliffside Park and the
Woman's Club of Palisade, may I ask
for space in your paper for an appeal
to residents in the Christmas Seal
Campaign?
The Christmas Seal is strictly
tuberculous seal, and since 1919 has
had no connection with the American
Red Cross. How many know that a
clinic Is maintained in Cliffside Bor-
ough Hall, DR.. w. w. Schmidt in
charge? Christmas Seals are the
means of doing this work.
Buy your seals in your home town,
as your committee is anxious to raise
its quota. The money you spend for
seals is in turn invested in your own
town You give protection to your
self and to others when you buy
Christmas Seals.
1.-The good they do depends on
you"
Buy Christmas Seals!
Very truly yours,
LOUISE FRANCES BURNS,
Cor Sec. Woman's Club of Cliff

Frenzy dOisans, near GrenOble,
France, that they rushed over a
ravine. The shepherd, in attempting
to stop them, was dragged over with
them, but was rescued, though his con-
dition was grave. Numbers Of the sheep

awAsHBoARDg ROADS AND TREES

"WASHBOARD' ROADS AND TREES
The result of the questionnaire con-
Quoted by the state highway depart
ment in order to find out the cause of
the "wasfboards' on Vermont high
ways seems to shows, among other
things, that the ''washboardn effect is
rarely found ON bill roads or on curves,
The inference from this information
points Enthusiastically to the fact that
the ''waslboards' are caused by the
speed Of tile motor vehicles passing
over tho roads. AT the same time
speed OF motor vehicles does not have
d tendency to develop 'washboards'
unless the othc conditions are right
for that effect. A highway in shaded
or damp territory il protected from.
the "wasllboards." We have an illus
tration Of that in Williamstown gulf.
At the base of the little hill at the
north END u the gulf is level stretch
of road which Is the favorite spot for
speeding by motorists. Cars traverse
this stretch at rate anywhere from
10 miles an hour to 60 miles an hour
and more, yet this highway is not cor
rugated with "washboards" and is as
smooth boulevard as one could wish
for. OF course, the road is a good one
and is well maintained, 50 that its re
sisting powers are perhaps greater than
the average highway in Vermont; but
that condition would not be proof
against tie wearing influence of mo-
tor vehicles were it not for the fact
that the read Is protected to con
siderable extent By trees and is fur
Their protected BY the dampness from a |
brook st its very edge. The lesson to |
be drawn is that roads are protected |
very much by trees and that IL would !
be good economy, in the years to come,
to set ont shade trees alongside the |
roads of Vermont The policy of tree
planting along the roads OF the state |
has its merits in this respect.

German Ambassador and Sec retary Hughes in Lengthy
 Consultation on Plight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-By the Associated Press)-Administ of ficials believe that American influ- ence can be employed to help to- wards a solution of the German re- parations problem. That feeling was voiced authoritatively today at the White house.
 It was added, however, that no an- nouncement now was possible or even eminent. Things that may be occurring behind the scenes it was said cannot be expedited on the stage at this time without prejudice here or abroad to the very cause the Washington government hopes to serve.
 Such was the brief glimpse of of ficial purpose made available at the close of a day filled with specula- ton government might be contemplat- ing toward averting the threatened Anglo-French break over Germans capability to pay reparatiens.
 The White house statement was made after series Of developments of obvious significance, beginning with the official admission that Am bassador Harvey had been called from London for consultation here. This was followed by conference of considerable length between Dr.. Otto F. Wiedfeldt the German ambas- sador and Secretary, Hughes at which it became known theeconomic plight of Germany, already described in American official advices as on the verge of collapse was discussed with it's application to the repara- tiops tangle.
