TRENTON. Jan. is.--Bris Gen. Howard
S. Borden. commander Of the Infantry
Brigade Of the New Jersey National
Guard. Is stiil determined not 20 offer
his resignation, although by so doing
he would relieve Gov. Edwards OF a
strong attack that is being made by Re-
publican leaders IN both houses of the
Legislature. Tho question OF Gen. Bor-
denis elimination from his command be-
came a political issue this week with
the report submitted at the opening of
the Legislature criticizing tho manner in
which he was elected brigade COM
mander.
Gen. Borden's answer to this report Is
that the recommendations OF the inves-
tigation committee headed by Senator
William II. Mackay of Bergen county
were framed for political purposes only.
and II carried out the efficiency OF the
National Guard will suffer.
One Of the vital points upon which the
fight against Gen. Borden hinges Is his
recent order transferring National Guard
headquarters from southern to northern
New Jersey and the amalgamation OF
South Jersey and North Jersey compan-
les. Members OF the National Guard are
greatly upset over the rearrangement
and Col, Guthrie, new commander OF the
Hath Infantry, who was sent into South
Jersey on u nission-af harmony met
with cold reception.
bill has been introduced for the re-
organization of the National Guard in
conformity with plans of Republican
leaders. In an effort to restore the Ma
tional Guard affairs to an efficient stand
ard. but this Is recognized as n long way

the approval Of the Federal War De-
partment.
Senator Maclsay. contrary TO expecta-
tions. has announced that he Is still

ceived the support Of United States Sem

had been shot three times. but by whom
ana under just what circumstano es
never was determined. II was the belief
OF the police that he had been attacked
from ambush.
There have been other deeds OF police
bravery during the period. and there
nave been numerous instances in which
policemen have narrowly escaped death.
One or these incidents was that OF Pa
troiman John III. Conk, who, on May 3,
received injuries which resulted In his
death while trying to stop a runaway
horse at Knickerbocker avenue and
Grove street Brooklyn. II was his third
act of heroism within few days. There
also was Patrolrnan Charles d. Potter,
who was drowned July 22 while trying
TO save his daughter
One who was near death was Patrol
man Daniel Shine Of the Astoria sta
ton. He was shot August 20 by one
Of two men whom he had stopped 20
search. For time II was feared he
would die.
Two policeman who risked their lives
In conspicuous manner last year were
Patrolman william j. McNeice and Pa
trolman John Simcox. On may Nc
Neice. attached to the Clinton street
station. rescued two women and seven
children from q burning tenement at ~
Allen street. On that same day Simcox
OF the East Thirty-fifth street station
saved several children from what ap-
peared to be sure death. when he stopped
n runsway horse.
One of the greatest fights ever re-
corded by policeman in this city was
that CT Patroiman william e Bostwick
of the Morrlsanis station. November "a.
He arrested John Monahan at 1921

five Of Monahan's pals" would como
20 his rescue. He was rookie po-
licemsn, and he finally was knocked un-
conscious. but before that happened he
had used his fists, feet. stick and gun
TO good effect. One OF the alleged at
taclsing party. Richard Barrett. was
killed.

Mr.. Hawkes. said that the demand FOR
rogs, cats and birds was never greater
than mt present, and monkeys and
squirrels were growing in popularity.
The squirrel market, he added. was
never as brisk as at present as they are
considered ideal pets for a New York
apartment. They take to the life with
apparent enjoyment. according to Mr..
Gawkes.
Gold FISH and rabbits. he says. are
steadily losing in popularity--the former
because of a certain lack Of responsive
ness. and the latter because of re-
gretiable tendencies which the present
housing shortage renders embarrassing.

State the same civil rights, privilege,
end immunities as are enjoyed by men
The bin Is along the same lines as q
draft Of a proposed amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which will be pre-
sented in the Senate by Senator Curtis.

fore the law wound undo all that has
been done for working women by the
many welfare bills that have been passed
by various Legislatures. She declared
that high legal authorities have assured
her that the police power of the States,
which has been upheld by the United
States Supreme Court, would be sufficient
TO give proper protection TO these laws
ON the ground that they we're neces-
sary for the good of the public morals

Similar bills will be introduced In
many other State Legislatures this win
ter. II has already been passed In

moved all legal disabilities of women.

A Ray of Sunshine

The Department of Labor notes
the presence, despite the coal and
rail strikes, of strong undercur-
rent throughout the country in the
direction of industrial recovery.
In ten out of fourteen basic indus
tries there has been decided increase
OF employment. The iron and steel
business, which has suffered to some
extent from fuel scarcity, has, never
theless, registered an increase. In
other metals and metal products en-
ployment has risen, as it has in the
leather industry.
Forty-four cities out of sixty-five
covered in the industrial analysis
for July reported employment in
creases for the month.
From Detroit comes the report
that hard times are over there and
that business is booming. Detroit,
the. country's greatest automobile
manufacturing center, prospers as
the nation prospers, and reflects
perhaps more than any other city
general business conditions.

A Radio Suggestion

Those who are leading blighted
lives because they have never heard
a marmot whistle to his mate will
be cheered to learn that the DEPART
ment of the Interior is CONSIDERING
proposal for broadcasting the
shrlll evening chorus of thousands
OF the little fellows who are resi-
dent near Glacier National Park.
Let US hope that the Department
Of the Interior will not fail to &C
cept this proposal. 1t points the wav
to broadening Of the educational
influence Of the radio. If the wire
less can diffuse the love plant of
the woodchuck, why cannot it also
bring us the we'll chosen words of
other animals? The radio program
of the future may include the yap
of the coyote, the chirr of the Kansas
grasshoppers, the ling of the New
Jersey mosquitoes, the singing of
the Connecticut clans. Maybe-for
the sake of our little ones, of course
-Bossy will moo into the ether,
Biddy cackle her p@an of achieve
ment and Rover bark his honest
welcome in 360-meter wave lengths.
Nor must it be overlooked that
there are other natural sounds of
cultural influence. The roar of surf
and waterfall and tornado, the crash
OF hailstones as large as eggs, the
creak Of our forefathers turning
over in their graves-all these and
more will no doubt be broadcast
for our enlightenment some day.
And then how gratifying it will be
to the patient people Of the East to
hear the rumble of CALIFORNIA;
earthquakes and the steady pitter-
patter of CALIFORNIA; wet season
rains!
