Bible Thought For Today
DELAY on HIGHWAY BRIDGE

What is holding up the progress on the state highway
bridge across the Raritan river here? The funds are avail
able and the need is great, yet month after month passes
and apparently nothing is done to get the work under way.
The old bridge is carrying an awful lot of traffic and it will
not be long before it will require elaborate repairs at an
enormous expense to the taxpayers. Much of this might be
saved if the State Highway Commission would get busy o..
the new structure.
After wasting a year the plans drawn by the state high
way engineer were discarded and a consulting engineer was
engaged at enormous expense to start the work all over
again. He took hold early in the spring. Several conferences
were held and two or three different types of bridges were
presented. The choice narrowed down to a choice between
an all concrete bridge and a steel girder bridge with the
prospects much in favor Of the latter. So far as known no
definite decision has yet been reached.
Why the delay?
There are rumors of politics, favoritism and other COM
plications holding up actual work. Is the State Highway
Commission going to wait until a real scandal develops in
the matter before doing something?
Apparently a whole summer has been lost in the con-
struction of the new bridge. Work in winter is necessarily
slow. This means that it will practically be another sum-
mer before anything worth while is done and as it will take
several months to get the preliminaries out of the way, an
other winter will be upon us before the structure begins to
take shape.
There is a suspicion that the highway commission is
using some of the money intended for the bridge to lay more
patent pavements. 1t will be remembered that early in the
year the commission had no funds available to pave the Me-
tuchen- Highland Park road. But when the Board of Free
holders were frightened off the idea of paving the road on
the reimbursement plan, the state commission suddenly
found that it had the money to do the work, after all. Where
did the money come from? 1t was a foregone conclusion
that the pavement would be of the patent variety despite
the excessive cost. Why was it so necessary to have this
stretch of road paved with bitulithic this season? Is this
one of the reasons why there is no action on the construction
of the bridge?
II would seem as if the State Highway Commission
owed the public an explanation as to why there is not more
progress on the bridge. Better still, get the work started
and no explanations will be necessary.

SELLING AUTOS

How would you like to take a whirl, In business Tor your
self, selling autos? Like most other things, 1T looks petter
from the outside.
Thirty-one thousand auto dealers went out OF business
with a loss if $685. OOO,O 900 last year, according to Leroy W.
Campbell, New York banker, addressing a convention OF used
car dealers.
Most of these failures, says Campbell, were due to lack
of careful figuring when allowing for old cars, lack OF cour-
age in trading and lack of selling ability"
An interesting situation. Most of us imagine that CONNER
cial failures usually are caused by bad business. But here
are thousands of failures due to too much business. Inc VIC
tins literally traded themselves out of existence.
A tremendous and fascinating business, the auto game.
1t now ranks fifth or sixth among all American industries:
In August the output of motorcars was about Zoo,OOO,
against $780, S5 cars in August last year. Rather a startling
figure, showing how rapid has been the recuperation from
hard times.
Germany, by the way, is exporting less than Lulu motor
cars a month. We're doing nine times as well.
American output of passenger autos and trucks, so lar IN
1922, has beer at the rate of $1,000 a year. In rough hg-
ures, that's as many autos as exist in all countries OF the world
combined outside the United States.
Less than 20 years ago the auto was such a novelty that
everyone turned and stared when a 'horseless carriage" rat
tied past, Even the widest Missionaries never dreamed that
autos would ever be as numerous as they are now.
One of the greatest thrills of living in America is the ee-
ment of surprise, the rapid and constant change.
1t is not at all improbable that, 20 years from now, people
will be using as many airplanes as there are autos today.

the FRIENDLY CONSTITUTION

Recent developments in the railroad strike give polht'
to the remark made by Senator Borah in a telegram last
week to John ]. Dowd, chairman of the general strike COM
mittee in New York City. Expressing his desire to preserve
unhampered the guarantees found in the United States con-
stituton, Senator Boah wired:
'After all, we find the old constitution a fine charter IN
time of trouble, do we not? Let us stand for 1T regardless OF
who would undertake to disregard it or violate 1t"
Radicals usually represent that charter as an Oh
sfacle to human freedom and rights. Organized labor is
sometimes lured into the same view. 1T seemed 10 man!
labor representatives, when the recent injunction was issued
against the railroad strikers, that here was a glarlng IN
stance of constitutional tyranny. 1t soon began to dawn on
sober minds, however, that if there was any tyranny mVolVeu
If must of necessity be unconstitutional And SO instead OF
attacking the constitution, organized labor has invoked II
as a friend and defender. =,
Within the last year or two the unions have discovered
that if they could be enjoined, they themselves could also
enioin-that the courts were effective weapons LOT 'helr
hands as we'll as the hands of their employers, the only ques-
lion being whether they had demonstrable law and Jusuce
on their side. 1t is a revelation full of promise for the sanity
and progress of the labor movement in this country when
orpanized labor realizes that in case of need 1t can invoke
the constitution even against the United States government

HOUSE FLY A HUMAN PERIL

1.-The danger of the typhoid or
house fly in the carriage of disease
has been abundantly demonstrated,
and yet it is allowed to breed I'M

Thus writes DR.. l.. o. Howard in
a communication to the National
Geographic Society. He continues:
Even if the typhoid or house fly
were a creature difficult to destroy,
the general failure on the part of
communities to make my efforts
whatever to reduce its numbers
could properly be termed criminal
neglect, but since it is comparatively
an easy matter to do away with the
plague of flies, this neglect becomes
an evidence of ignorance or of care

mind constitutes a serious blot On
civilized methods of life.
IF we allow the accumulation of
filth we will have house flies, and
If we do not allow it to accumulate
VIC will have no house flies. With
the careful collection of garbage in
cons and the removal of the con-
tents at more frequent intervals
than 10 days, and with the proper
regulation of abattoirs, and more
particularly with the proper reSul-

kept. the typhoid fly will become a

BOOTLEG SUPPLIES

Withdrawal of whisky from government bonded ware
houses is decreasing. That is due partly to the decrease OF
Tho stock itself, which is less than half what 1t was when
nrohibition went into effect. 1t is due more, though, TO a
Tightening up of the enforcement Administrator. Appn nea
,ions for Withdrawal are scrutinized more closely and there
are fewer loopholes left.
If does not follow necessarily that the illicit liquor traf-
Gc is diminishing at the same rate. A great deal OF strong
drink is still being made from 'any old stuff mostly alco-
bol wafer and prune juice or other flavoring and colorlng
matter. There is also considerable white whisky" or corn
umoonsbine, made and sold in some sections.
With congress in its usual mood Tor investgaung' an
other little investigation would do no harm. 1t might do
much good if dependable data were obtained as to the pres

this great bootleg traffic. Then it could be dealt with more
effectively. The mere undertaking OF an official inquiry
might drive many operators to cover and shrink the dimen-
sions of the traffic.

AMERICA is WITHOUT ANY
NATIONAL FLOWER
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON-An important
defect in the structure of American
civilization has been brought to
public notice again. This great
nation, so complete in most respects,
has no national flower.
There is no blossom that the poll
teal candidate ear stick in his but
tonhole to show that he is a patriot
and to which he can point with
pride as the living symbol of his
high ideals. There is no flower that
can be carved into public buildings
about Washington to remind the
government worker of some inspir-
ing tradition. When the President
chooses a flower for his coat or his
wife selects decorations for a state
dinner, they must ponder the entire
list of flowers in the White House
Conservatives. No national BIOS
som ONE instantly to mind as the
emblem which fittingly represents
the nation. This catalogue could so
on indefinitely. The nation simply
has n national flower.
Generally such things are ar
ranged for a country through acct
dent. Some gallant leader takes to
wearing into battle the flower be-
loved by his lady and his cohorts
follow suit. Eventually the nation
is saved by the hero and he attri-
butes everything to the charm Of
the flower. Popular sentiment is
aroused. The story of the flower
that saved the country becomes ira
dition. Gradually the flower be-
comes the national flower without
any arguments.
England acquired the rose as its
national fnupr thro11Oh a sarieS Of
romantic instances each of which
deepened the significance of the
flower. The thistle really saved
Scotland when a moat filled with
thistles prevented the enemy from
reaching an important fortress. The
lily became the badge of Louis VII
Of France when he started on his
crusade to the Holy Land and all
France accepted the kings choice.
But early American heroes were
strangely neglectful of this matter.
They spent much time planning a
suitable seal and flag. But they
never bothered to snatch up a sprig
of goldenrod or snapdragon when
they went out to fight, and their
great. great grandchildren are suf-
fering today as a result.
In the recent war when the scar
let Flanders poppy became so poig-
nant a symbol of Americas sacrifice
the national flower seemed about to
appear. But the beautiful poppy, II
was explained by horticultural ex
perts, was a weed in France and &c
introduce it into the gardens of this
country would be a mistake. So the
poppy remains only a memory ex-
cept for the artificial specimens that
occasionally bloom on national holi.
