OBJECT To HAVE
HIGHWAYS SAFE
Says State Commission in Or
dering Wagons, Etc., From
Right of Way of Roads

TRENTON, Aug. 31.-Pointing
out that such action was taken ex-
clusively for the protection of tie
travelling public, the State Highway
Commission, in a statement today,
denies that in the Issuance of the
orders prohibiting vendors from
placing wagons and stands within
the right of way of the state high
way system there vas any thought
OF interfering with tho business OF
these men.
What we had in mini" states the
commission, was not on'y the eiimi-
nation of traffic congestion on the
roads but the actual savins of life.
The resolution IN question WAS no.
passed az a matter of fact unit. a
man had been killed on the White
Horse Pike. between Camden and
Atlantic City" The comrnission's
statement in full follows:
IAN impression has
evidently been gained by certain
newspapers as to the motive which
prompted this commission TO re-
Gently pass a resolution prohibitinc
vendors from placing wagons and
stands within the right of way of the
state highway system for the pur.
pose of selling their goods.
What we had in mind was no
only the elimination of traffic con
gestion on the roads, but the actua
saving of life. The resolution il
question was not passed as a matte
OF fact until a man had been killet
on the White Horse Pike. betwee,
Camden and Atlantic City, becaus,
of this situation.
These booths and stands are
placed within the right of way, gen
orally on Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays. when the traffic is the
heaviest, and anyone who has trav-
eled on these days can appreciate
what this commission is aiming to
accomplish in the interest of the
general public when it takes a step
looking to the elimination of all
possible obstacles.
In pursuing this policy there has
not been the slightest thought or
desire to destroy business initiative
upon the part of these vendors and
there has been no objection made
to the produce sold. The resolution
passed simply stated that due to the
greatly increased traffic upon the
roads and the danger to the public
from distractions, that all vendors
who have no particular place OF
business on the highways. be pro-
hlbited from encroaching on the
right of way because of the menac
to travel which they create"

REPAIR CHURCH
At MATAWAN
First Methodist Church is Be-
ing Redecorated- Other I'M
provements Being Made

MATAWAN. Aug. 31:-Work of
redecorating the auditorium of the
First Methodist Episcopal church
here is progressing rapidly. The en-
tire auditorium is being done YER
the decorator, John Wilson, being
at work for some days past. A
color scheme of white. blue, buff
and gold is being carried out and
indications are that the room will be
one of the prettiest to be found in
This vicinity when completed.
The handsome steel ceiling OF the
auditorium is finished in four colors,
the most notable of these being
gray, white, blue and buff, the
being beautifully done. The side
walls are to be covered with a buff
paper to match the ceiling and the
woodwork of the windows and doors
will also be decorated to match.
An arch over the choir and organ
loft. spanning a distance of many
feet, is being done in gold leaf and
buff with the other colors inter-
mingling in the decoration. The or
gan and choir loft is being decor
ated to harmonic with the rest of
the auditorium.
Not only is the auditorium being
~redecorated but plans are now un-
der way to change the lighting in
the room so as to give the best light
possible. At the present time light
is furnished from a massive brass
chandelier from the center of the
room. This will be removed and in
it's place handsome newly designed
electric fixtures will be hung.
During the past few years many
me StaiOp glass
have been placed in the edifice and
it is likely that the three remaining
windows that still contain the old
plain glass will be replaced with the
new windows soon. 1t is understood
that another memorial window is to
be installed shortly.
1t will probably be two or more
weeks before the auditorium will be
ready for regular services.

The two chief means by which the

pieces of furniture were turned so as to
give them a pleasing shape. The panels,

some parts of the heavier seating furni-

else the decorative effect was produced
by inlay or 5y applying holdings and
turned ornaments. In any event. what

Can You Tell?
Why a Slap on the Face Is Considered
an Insult
By r. J. aud A. W. Bodmer

When YOU slap the face of another
or box his ears you are really issuing
challenge to an inferior. This was
one of the developments Of the time
when cases at law were decided by ducls.
The duel was regularly instituted legal
process of the northern tribes. which
overthrow the Roman power. and was
adopted on the principle that gods
would give victory to the right. Cow
ardice in any one indicates other vices
also. and one who would not fight to
defend his honor did not care for the
esteem of his fellows and would not be
governed by the code of real men. This
was the foundation of the trial by COM
bat. =,
When this law Of combat was adopted
n regular code of rules was drawn. Cen
tlcmcn fought on horseback and villains
(those who performed mcnial laborl
fought on foot and with cudgels: as
swords were not permitted them. Hence
il came about that the cudgel or club
was looked upon as weapon of insults
and affronts. None but these interiors
fought with faces uncovered. so thht
they alone could receive a blow upon the
face. Therefore, a box on the ear or
sian on the face became an insult pc
cause the one who received the indlgnity
had been treated as an inferior.
In those days il you did not answer a
summons a challenge was issued.
Everything was considered on the basis
of honor. If one person declared an,
other had committed certain act and
the opponent told the accuser he lied.
the judge ordered duel. Thus It
became the rule that when one person
gave the lie to another he had to hight
for it.

The BaclJ. Wide Head

In contrast to the head which Is
widest in front of the ears you have the
wide head which is widest at about the
line of the ears or in back Of them.
This Wilderness well toward the top of
the head indicates caution; just over
and around the ears it indicates de-
StructivencsS or executive ability (for tie
difference between these two faculties Is
OF degree rather than kind. and de-
pendent generally upon such things as
intclligcncc and the high head and long.
hend facultics): and between caution
ana dcstructivcncSs. Wilderness of head
denotes sccrctivcncss. 4 bit further
back it indicates combativeness.
Thus, while the front wide hcai
shows person to be prcdominnntly
mirthful. tone loving. mathematical,
idcaliStic, dramatic. constructive and
acquistivc, the back wide head shows
a person prcdominantly cautions, sccre.
tive, executive and combative.
DO you wish to know whether pcr /.
son is likely to live long? Look inst
in front and just in hack Of the ear,
a good development Just in front of
the ear shows n woll-controllcd ana

Wilderness just back of the ear shows !,

course. these things don't mean that n
person can fail to digest and assimila,r
his food properly or that it t. in,oos .
siblc for him to die young. bur Simply
that. other things being equal, he l.

0\NIHEN I passed him on the street

"\X1HEN I passed him on the street
w he did not take off his hat to
speak to me. What did he mean py
that?' asks one. y,
"He went away two weeks ago and
l have only heard from him once, put
he sent me postal card and said ne
would look me up when he came eack.
Now what did he mean by this? Does
he love me or is he just kidding me|'
writes another.
'My girl friend and I had quar-.
rel not long ago and neither of us would
speak to the other for several weeks.
Then at another girls house | saw her
and offered to be friends again. But she
would not give me a definite answer.
Now what should ! do, give her up
or try to make her give in?' worries
another.
Everything must have definite
meaning. and must be set down In fig
urative black and white.
The first girl thinks there must be
some significance in the fact that this
boy failed to remove his hat when he
spoke to her.
She will not put It down to plain bad
manners; there must be special rea-
son for 1t. Either he does not like her
any more or else he is trying her out.
Evidently she knows boys who would
be rude enough to do just that--fail to
remove their hats in speaking to her,
because they are tired Of her or want to
start a silly quarrel.
Or she has had the experience of
being tested" by boy who does some-
thing unkind and discourtcous to see
whether she is good SPORT or not.
"HAT an elastic term that Is 1t
w can be adapted to suit so many
needs.
Some boys think girl isn't a good
sport If she rescnts their being down
right rude; If she objects to their max :
ing an engagement with her. keeping
her at home waiting for them for hours
and never turning up.
And so when they impolitely nod
without touching their hats she thinks
there Is some treason" for 1t.
THE second girl cannot bear TO think
L that the sending of the postal card
is just casual expression of friendship
She must attach some significance tc
It; maybe he loves her.
