Architects Give Opinions.

Chicago, Jan. 3O.--In Washington
the average snow weighs about seven
or eight pounds per cubic foot, said
Prof. Henry ]. Cox, Of the Chicago
weather bureau in commenting upon
the caving in Of the ROOF of the
roof of the Knickerbocker motion pic
ture theater.
IF the snow was three feet deep
on the theater building, I doubt if
there was a strain Of more than
twenty pounds to each square foot"
he said.
Some Chicago architects expressed
doubt that such a pressure would
have crushed in the roof, and said
they believed investigation would de-
velope some structural strain. They
pointed out that the Chicago building
ordinances require a roo which will
support a strain of fifty pounds to the
square foot.

STRIKING AT THE PATENT PAVING EVIL

It must be remembered that the State Highway Commission
is not the only body having road contracts to give out that looks
with favor upon the patented pavements. The Board of Free
holders in the various counties have been very partial to this ex-
pensive paving material and the Middlesex board has been one
of the leaders.
Perhaps the greatest abuse that has been saddled upon the
state as far as highway Improvement is concerned is the REIN
bursement act whereby the counties pave the highways and are
reimbursed by the state later. Under this plan a great many miles
of patented pavement have been laid throughout the state and,
except in the localities in which they have been laid, they have
escaped notice. Many instances can be mentioned where the pa.
tented pavement has been favored by the Middlesex freeholders.
Where the responsibility has been scattered among twenty-one diff
ferent boards it has been easier for the patented pavemnt crowd to
put it over as the total did not show up as prominently as 1t
would if all the contracts had been let by a single body such as
the State Highway Commission.
The Middlesex freeholders, u late, have declared that they are
willing to give the people any kind of pavement they want. This.
sounds goods, but when we realize the tricks that the patented
pavement interests resort to IN their effort to make it appear = II
the people want their pavement and no other, and when we recall
how easy it has been to get a pavement put through when the pa
tented material was requested and how many obstacles there have
been when other material was favored, we cannot help but be
skeptical about this great desire to please the people.
As a matter of fact, when it is known that the patented ma
terial costs so much more than the other kind without giving any
better pavement, it was the duty of the freeholders to refuse to
consider the patented material at all unless 1t was IN competltonI
with other unpatented material. There is no reason why the state
of New Jersey or MiddleseX county should pay such an exorbltant
price for top dressing, when in other states where real competition
is provided the same material, whether patented or not, IS oought
for a great deal less.
And because the Board of F~reehoders is as great an offender
in the matter of patented pavements as is the State highway Com
mission, the voters who want to put an end to this form OF highway
extravaganza can show their %disapproval OF present methods by
sending a minority representation to the Board of Freeholders
There is only one way to break this hold that the patent pavement
interests have in this state and that is to strike 1t at every place
where it has been shown to have influence. At the present time
the Board of Freeholders is made up entirely of Republicans who
have been in office so long that the board is like a little clup' as IL
were, and the members have entrenched themselves so that they
WELD a powerful influence. The only way the voters can change
conditions is to break up this little Organization" by electlng TWO
freeholders this fall.

THE STREET DEPARTMENT ISSUE

A whole lot is being said about the care Of horses in the street
department in the present campaign IN an effort to dscredlt one
or the other of the candidates for alderman in the third ward. 1t
50 happens that Alderman Patten, who is seeking reelection IN
that ward. is chairman of the street committee, while his Kepuon-
can opponent, Antonio F. Munoz, was, until a short time ago, Street
commissioner. 1t would seem, therefore, that the responsibility
for the management of the street department, up until the I'M Oh
MI. Munozis resignation at least, was a divided one ana What hs
Mr.. Munoz hits Alderman Patten with about equal force.
But in all this controversy the feature IN connection WIN me
management of the street department that appeals 10 n ak
PAYERS most is entirely ignored. That is the wages paid the EN-,
ployes who work on the streets. These men, many OF them 100 oo
to do a real mans job, are receiving wartime pay, pemg aDOut
double the wages now being paid common labor anywhere. VINO
is responsible for keeping these old pensioners on the city pay ron
at such high wages? Why should the taxpayers have to stand this
expense when, as private individuals, they employ the same KIND
Of labor for a great deal lessF
Here is a real issue in the management of the street depart
ment, but it is doubtful if either party can take advantage OF 1t
because both are equally guilty. There is room for a great deal
more business administration in the street department as well as
every other branch of the city government. The party that can
convince the people that such an Improvement will take place Is
the one the people will vote for, as far as municipal affairs are CON
cerned. 1t is rather small potatoes to be quibbhng over the upkeep
of a few plugs that may have gotten into the city stables when
there is so much that is really worth while to talk about.

How far are you removed from the breadlinef If you
lost your job and your income were entirely cut off, how many
years, months or weeks would it be before you had to seek
charity?
The Morris Plan Banks are making loans to about 1000,
900 people a year. AT the annual convention OF the heads OF
these banks, they tell two interesting things about people who
come to them for money:
First: The average loan is 1886, though some loans run
as high as $1,000, as low as $50.
Second: Threefourths of the borrowers have no prop
erty, are unable to furnish security. They have to get re-
sponsible people to ego good for them by endorsement.
From people who borrow small sums from banks, We pass
to another class. You meet them right along-trying to raise
loans among their friends.
Every office or shop of any size has at least one person
who is always a certain amount OF money behind the game.
1t may be so cents or SIS or some other sum.
Whatever it is, it seems to be the improvident one S Dor
rowing capacity If you watch, you get SO you know just
how much he is going to ask for when he rushes up and shakes
hands warmly.
A certain fellow seems to be always borrowing S.. He
pays it back and soon borrows it again-from the same source
or some one else. Often he has a route that he works, in a
circle, like the gent who used to do a lot OF walking in ac-
cumulating his jag.
This fellow is chronicaly SIS behind the game-just that
much removed from the breadline. One of the great fnan-
cal mysteries is why he doesn't manage to get SIS ahead of
the game, so he can borrow from himself instead of his
friends.
Borrowing small sums or cups of flour becomes a habit.
Housewives have noticed that certain neighbors are eter-
nally borrowing the same things, time after time.
Borrowing started back in the days when an IMPROVE
dent cave man saw his neighbor bring in a catch of fish or
a "bag' of wild birds or animals. You can picture the i'm
provident man rushing to the Woodworking hunter with this
proposition: "Lend me a bird or a carcass and LII pay you
black when I kill some"
A certain number of unfortunates are driven to borrow
ing from their friends, by sheer bad luck. The chronic bor-
rover. however, is usually a plain od-fashioned specimen of
what country town people call shiftlessness.

THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT FOR WOODBRIDGE

Whatever may be the local is,ue in Woodbridge it S a pity the
people of that delightful suburb cannot get together long enough
to clean up that miserable swamp that is such an eye-sore rig m
the heart of the town. The only excuse we can find for permitting
this nuisance to exist year after year is that the people OF wood
bridge have become callous to it and do not realize what an unfav-
orable impression this over-grown waste makes on the public In
general.
There is nothing in the way of Improvement IN Woodbridge
township that would do more to enhance realty values, draw new
people and make the place altogether a more delightful location
for a home than to transform this unsghtly tract OF land into a
thing of beauty. This could be done at comparatively little ex-
pense. The township already owns the greater part OF the land.
The rest of the property should be bought so that the park would
extend from the railroad to Amboy avenue. With trees, shrubbery
and winding paths and with the stream flowing through the prop
erty properly bordered with weeping willows and ferns a more
attractive place could hardly be imagined.
The matter of the location of the proposed town hall is some
thing entirely foreign to this main question Of cleaning up the
swamp and making it an asset TO the community. Yet we cannot
help believing that for such a building as is proposed, the setting
in the midst of a beautiful park would be ideal.
Woodbridge has paved a great many streets and made other
improvements that have run into considerable money and it is
likely to go on doing so, but the one big thing to do IN order to
make Woodbridge the attractive place it ought to be is ignored
Not until this swamp is transformed into a park can Woodbridge
ever hope to realize her ambition.

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT

ways been assumed for them that
they knew by instinct now to COOK
and bring up children but lacked
the instinct for politics that Is
mans birthright. The women them
selves are perfectly willing to ac-
cept all these assumptions. In the!f
own hearts they know that they
had to learn cooking and h care
full not to be expected to know poll
tics by instinct. but to be the object
of the children: and so 1t Is rest
of male concern hat they be prop
erly educated. The process OF Give
education they are finding pleasant
1t gives them club life and undo
nestle interests and activities, n
| they are basking III the enjoyment
of it.
Equal suffrage has now been IN
effect long enough to make Val!o
certain congratulations. No millen-
MUM has resulted: none was e.
pected by the intelligent leaders OF
the equal suffrage movement. Tine
country in its politics wags alorS
about the same as ever. In pro-
portions, the ignorant vote is as
large as ever, the intelligent as
small. Only the numbers of ba.-
lOlS nave l"nCredSSu'
But one rather unexpected dis
covery has been made, one attribute
of women as voters brought to light
which, with plenty of exceptions to
prove the rule, distinguishes them
from men. The attribute is this:
women are distrus:ful of political
orators and oratory. The good fast
talker in politics who once had the
voters hocking after him is now
wearing a dazed and puzzled ex-
preston; the spellbinder seems to
have mislaid his formula.
The plain ract is, as shown by
two years of experience, gentle
woman Is a voter is just plain
hard-boiled. Men voters are always
seeking a Moses in politics: the
women demand to see what he has
written on his tablets of stone. This
attitude is plainly an inheritance
of their domestic life, 1t goes right
back to the dressgoods counter N
the department store. The gentle
manly clerk there gives his IS
| toner an argument that would con-
| vince nine men of every ten. But
nine women of every ten listen with
a thoughtful frown, meanwhile
pinching and examining the goo IS
anf then as a matter OIL course VlsIl
all the other dressgoods depart
ments in town before purchasing.
In politics they act the same way
They have not been dazZled by
demagogues or misled by magnetic
~presences, as some statesmen fear
ed they would be. On the contrary,
they have deliberately "shopped'
for tickets and candidates. This
they have done by means of formal
printed questions submitted to, al
candidates for various jobs and in
mass meetings of women which the
candidates were invited to attend.
One other innovation of the rom
en- voters has been welcomed by
conscientious officeholders. The
women voters are adopting a prac.
tice of holding mass meetings about
six months after new o~fficeholders
get their jobs and inviting the in
cumbents to come and give an ac-
count of their stewardship. A m,r
trying to do real public service
often finds this his only opportunity
to bring his problems to the atten'
ton of his constituents.

Savage
When 1t comes to instrumental
music, Americans still are in a state
of savagery. says Prof. Peter w.

He thinks that jazz has a rhythm,

tributions to music, and that the
trouble with jazz usually is the
players rather than jazz itself.
1t must stun materialists, this
