IRRATE BOVINE BAT- TILES PLATE GLASS
T0READ0R WILLIAMS TO THE
 RESCUE

Last week a gentlemen |of weight and importance ir the community strolled ur to the large plate glass window of the Title Bldg. on Porter St.
 At anyrate he took one look at his mirrored image in the shining expanse of fiawless plate glass and then issuing a blatant chal. lenge proceeded to give battle. Perhaps the image in the glass accentuated the fact that he was rather heavy set and played ur the high lights in his red hair in such a fiamboyant fashion as to injure his amour prOpre.
 Whatever the immediate cause he rumbled out a few wild curses deep down in throat, stepped up on the sidewalk close to the image that was so tauntingly mi micing his every action and in another minute several hundred dollars worth of plate glass would have been in the same condition as our poor friend the egg who starred in the part of "Humpty-D y-Dumpty."
 But just at the crucial moment when the window was in imminent danger of demolition Bill Williams of the Navajo Garage stepped around the corner. He took one nasty look. The irrate gentleman carried a good deal more weight so Bill possessed himself of a few good sized rocks, and ad- vanced to the rescue.
 Routed by this surprise attack in the rear, which distracted his attention from the mirrored rival in the window and urged by a sharp rock on the ribs from the rescuing tOreador, with a wild below of astonish- ment, a chatter of retreat ing hoofs, and an angry tat too of his stumpy tail, the

CONUNDRUM

Query: When is a derby not a derby? Answer: When it's been knocked into a cooked hat!
 Bill Williams will vouch for the truth of this riddle. Ask Bill. He knows! You see he went to the ball game on Sunday wearing a stylish stiff derby, and after he got there a catastrophe happen ed. A swiftly moving body, in point of fact a nice rock like baseball collided forcib- ly with his stiff lid much to the latter's detriment. At present it is a very badly bent derby.
 But the sad part of the tale is that 1t is whispered around it is not really Bills derby at all, but that he had merely borrowed it to swank around in a little when our boys won the game, and now he may be compelled to pur- chase a shiny silk hat and give it to Teep to make a. mends.

TAKING AUTOMOBILES

With due respect to the opinion of the city attorney
given in his letter to Alderman Clark regarding the tax on
automobiles, the fact must not be overlooked that an auto
mobile comes under the head Of personal property just the
ame as a horse and wagon, a piano or any other goods and
attels that a person may own. Having already paid a tax
his personal property which tax comes along with the tax
cal estate, by what right is a man taxed again on one
fular item of his personal property?
NJ the automobile is not taken into consideration when
the valuation is being placed on personal property that is
the fault of the assessors. 1t is the duty of the assessor to
find out as much about a mans personal property as possible
and place a value thereon for taxing purposes. When a man
receives his tax bill, therefore, and he finds thereon a certain
amount as personal tax he has a right to assume that his per-
sonal property is included, automobile and all. He pays this
personal tax in good faith so that it would seem that he is
justified in refusing, later on, to pay an additional tax on one
particular piece of personal property.
The way to solve this automobile tax problems is to fix
the value of the automobile before any tax bills are sent out
and simply add to the other personal tax the amount OF tax
to be placed on the automobile. Thus a man would be pay
ing but one personal tax that would include his automobile
along with every other piece of personal property that he
owns.

The worlds richest man, John D. Rockefeller, goes to a
circus.
He laughs at the clowns, feeds peanuts to the elephants,
applauds the hair-raising acrobatic acts, and buys pink lemon
ade and 'hot dogs
Ali around, It is a complete circus day, even to his daugh-
ter-in-law having her tintype taken on the Midway.
eft brought back memories Of boyhood days, " said Johr
And it probably is a safe bet that he had the best time Oh
circus day that he had had in a year, though the diversion
was of the inexpensive sort within the means of the man who
can count the dollars of his weekly pay envelope on his fingers
The greatest joys of life, for rich or poor, involve simple
things. And our greatest pleasures are inexpensive. Money
is desirable, but it is not everything. This may be platitud
inous. Most platitudes, however, are true and philosophical
The mob that followed John D. Rockefeller about the
circus was most interested in the dimes he gave to 200 OF the
fun producers.
Observe his system-only one dime to each person, and
always a bright, spanking-new dime, fresh from the mint.
John d. always carries a pocketful OF dimes-and never
appears in public without distributing some of them.
He is rich enough to distribute S. gold pieces. They, how
ever, would be quickly spent. He is shrewd enough to know
that nearly every one would save a dime from the worlds
richest man, as a "lucky piece"
In his unique psychological way, Rockefeller is trying to
impress the public with the value of the humble dime. Pen
MES might be hurled back at him in derision. But none ex-
cept drunken men ever threw away a dime. Probably John D.
is like the rest Of us, and would spend dollars Of time trying
to recover a dime lost through a sidewalk grating.
You see Rockefeller, with his dimes, spreading the wis
dom of thrift with all the cunning theatrical instinct Of
Phineas T. Barnum.
After all, it was thrift that gave him his start, back in the
days when he was a bookkeeper toiling for $35 a month.
He learned to handle dimes before he was able to handle
dollars. So did Henry Ford, when he was a machinst. So did
Schwab when he was a day-worker in the steel mills.
Comfortable financial independence is a matter Of plain
old-fashioned thrift, though expanding the modest fortune
to a gigantic fortune depends on ability and chance.

HOLD THE PROPERTY FOR A COUNTY PARK

The Board of Freeholders ought not to be in any hurr,
about selling the tract of land at Menlo Park which wal
bought for the purpose of erecting a tuberculosis sanitarium
thereon, but which has been declared unsuitable by the
State Board Of Health. This property which the county now
owns has many attractive features that would be ideal for q
park and sooner or later Middlesex county will be consider
ing the establishment of a park system. This tract would
make an excellent beginning.
Perhaps the greatest asset that Essex county has today
is its wonderful park system. Those who have ridden
through Branch Brook Park and the South Mountain Reser-
walton are able to appreciate what Essex county has accom-
plished and can realize the pleasure that the people derive
therefrom.
Union county is now advocating a county park system
to be linked up with the Essex county system. And Middle
sex county joins Union.
AS the law stands today only counties having a popula-
ton of 200, 1000 or more can have a county park system.
Union county, seeing what Essex county has done, has been
wanting a park system of her own for a long time. But it
was not until the census of 1920 wa taken that the popula-
ton of Union county passed the 200, 900 mark. Now the
movement is on in earnest.
Middlesex county in 1920 showed a population of
i62,334 so that unless the law is changed the development
of q park system here is impossible at the present time. But
with only IS, 5000 to go it is evident that it will not be long
before Middlesex can go in for a park system-probably by
the time the next federal census is taken-then it would be
a fine thing to have such an attractive piece Of property
available as the tract the county now owns at Menlo Park.
With hills and dales, woods and meadows, wonderful
springs of the finest kind of water and pretty streams, a
more charming spot for the beginning of a park system
could not be found within the boundary of the county. Why
cannot our public officials look ahead a little and see these
possibilities of the future instead of living and spending
only for the present? This tract at Menlo Park has been
held by the county for several years, now 1t has been raid
for and is not burden on the taxpayers. Why not let it re-
main as it is for a few years more with the county idea in
view? The satisfaction and enjoyment that the people would
get from it as a park would be far greater than having the
land sold and the money Turn over to the freeholders for
them to 'blow in in their customary manner.

@. Can a man be held to 4 con-
tract he made while he was ihtoxi.

A. The general rule is that con.
tracts made by a person under the
influence Of liquor are voidable but
not void, sc that if some innocent
third person for value acquires
rights the contract is binding upon
the person making it. If a person
makes a contract when he Is so far
under the influence of liquor as to
be deprived of his senses, ana the
contract is SO one-sided as to be un-
reasonable, the question Of fraud
may enter into the transaction.
@. Is there any trade where the
employees fix the price OF the COM
modify sold Nv. w. E.
A. The BARRIERS are organized in
a union which not only regulates
wages and hours of labor, but fixes
prices charged to patrons. Every
raise in BARRIERS wages must under
union rules be followed by a corr
responding increase in prices ann
vice versa.
