TRENTON, N. J. Aug. lo-Though
the $4,000 expected to be left after
the paying of adjusted compensation
to New Jersey war veterans cannot
be used for hospital for disabled
ex-service men, the American Legion
has requested Gov. Edwards to call
a special session of the legislature to
appropriate a similar amount. The
hospital would be state owned ana
state operated and men disabled over
seas or who served and have become
disabled since would be eligible for
admittance
RICHMOND, Va. A number Of

have so far been unable to establish
their claims for compensation al

Hitting II or Alone

HE majority members OF the present Con-
gress who come up for denomination
and reelection this fall may count upon the
moral support" OF the White House but
the President has let 1t be known that he
Will not take tho stump for his party's can
didates and will have no broadside defense
To make of the record OF the Congress which
was ushered into power with him March A.
1921.
All this is particularly interesting in con-
nection with the strenuous effort now being
made by Republican congressional leaders
to convince the country that there are, after
all. no serious differences between admins
tration and the two houses OF Congress-
These legislative spokesman do not see any
thing to bother about in the fact that the
President has repudiated their bonus pro-
gram; that they in turn have repudiated
his army and navy programs; and the two
sides are far apart on the ship subsidy, the
tariff and practically every other Issue now
pending. These differences 1t Is argued
are mere trifles and cut no figure in the
relations between the elements in the party
Be that. as 1t may, the President does
not feel enough concern over the perform
ance OF his party associates in Congress to
take the fold in their behalf, to lend such
popularity as he may enjoy toward their sue
cess at the polls and remind the country
OF the Importance to the party OF remaining
In power all along the line until its obliga-
tons have been discharged.
The President in taking himself out of
the campaign does 1t on the preteSt that he
will not duplicate the "blunder" of his pre-
decessor, referring OF course. to the Will
son appeal in 1915 for a Democratic Con-
gress as the only safe means of carving
into effect the policies for which he stood.
Most Of Mr.. Wilson'S contemporaries were
tn !,
committed serious misplay in calling upon
the country to give him a Democratic Con-
gress. The country did nothing OF the sort
but returned a Republican majority in the
House and reduced Democratic majority in
the Senate. This result was pointed to as
a rebuke to a President who had dared ask
his countrymen to uphold him in the further
prosecution OF the war and in making the
peace which even then was imminent
Whether this appeal was a political mis-
take Will long be a matter OF spirited debate
Many OF the Presidents friends are con-
WINGED that his declaration to the country
did not affect the result in a single con-
gressional district and that the House would
nave been Republican. appeal or no appeal
from the White House Whether or not Il
was mistake 80 have asked for support in
a partisan spirit, subsequent events clearly
proved that the President was right I'm his
assertion that Democratic Congress was
necessary TO the consummation OF his pro-
gram. That is no longer q matter OF dis
pute.
1t will be widely suspected that President
Harding's lack OF enthusiasm over his
party's congressional candidates does not
proceed so much from his fear OF the punish
ment visited upon his predecessor as from
his consciousness that a successful defepe a
OF the present Congress is an impossible
thing.

c. l.. Bartlett, OF the Detroit Traffic Court,
says that when he endeavored to control

system, he noticed a great many repeaters
In court He had persons to stand about in

OF the speeders and learned that they did
not pay any attention to fines He deter
mined to send such offenders to jail.
Referring to the new system of restraint
put into practice by Judge Bartlett, rep
resentative of the National Safety News
says he sat in his court and heard him send
twenty-nine speeders to manual labor in tho
House OF Correction for from one to ten
days. Five OF the persons so sentenced were
roputed to be millionaires. 1t was In this
court that young Dodge got his fve-day
sentence. Fines are imposed in addition to
Jail sentences, and automobile licenses arc
revoked for periods OF from three months
to year. Judge Bartlett said that there
used to be 800 speeders' cases week in his
court. Now there is an average OF only six
seven.
AS result or this vigorous method OF
dealing with offenders against the regula-
tions, Detroit reduced its traffic fatalities
from 240 in 1920 to 1874 in 1921. That
shows what jail penalties will do to dis

most places is to permit Offenders against

Elcctromotivc Force


In order to have flow OF water
through pipe II is necessary to
produce n pressure somewhere to
force tho water TO flow. This pres
sure may BIO created by means of a
pump to which the pipo Is connected,
or IL may be created by filling a tank
full OF water and allowing tho water

stop flowing as soon as the pressure
was removed
Although electricity Is not a form

OF electric current It Ia necessary to
provide nm electrical pressure or cleo

tromotive force ceases the current
also ceases. When tho electromotiyo
force does not exist It's value Is, of
course, zero.
There nre various ways In which

practical ways are TO produce II by

charges may DO noted by holding tho
amber. for example, near some light
bits of paper, which will be attracted
to tho amber. Now. II tho amber
and the silk could DO quito highly

an elnctromotive force present be-

cause the elcctromotive force was

maintain II we should havc to con-
