Washington. March 23.-when IL a
cellar not a cellarY
Answer: When Il is a swimming
pool.
That is 10 say. II Senator Joseph
Frelinghuysen OF New Jersey had a
concrete cellar. and Il later turned
out TO be a swimming pool, with
nothing stronger in. IL than water,
does that prove that Frellnghuysen
is not entitled TO the votes OF New
Jersey drys?
Assuredly.. the cellar or swimming
pool Is wet. Frelinghuysen's friends
concede; but so is the ocean wet
without In the least annoying Mr..
volstead. and where cd the demo-
Gratis and vets get that cellar stuff.
anyway? II never was a cellar and
Frelinghuysen never had It full OF
booze, and he never was a wet, and
the whole yarn is just a malici IS
canard. And that's that.
The wets-and New Jersey, report

Frelinghuysen out of the senate

linghuysen for the G.. o. P. nomi-
nation. For n thing, he stands
close to the Harding administration.
When the administration is popular,
Frelinghuysen's fortunes boom; when
it is unpopular-or relatively So

Make It At Home By This
Easy Process Takes Less
Than 30 Minutes.

Nowadays, more and more women
are doing as their mothers did and are
making their own soap. II you have
never tried it. you will be surprised to
9 how easy it is to make good soap,
soft soap, hard soap or floating soap,
JUSTIFY using kitchen scraps and waste
grease together with q can of Merry
War Lye. the safe andsure soapmaker.
In the old days when soap was made
by the boiling process it took nearly
all day to make a Kettle of soap. Now
1t is hardly any work at a~ll-requires
no boiling-takes less than 80 minutes.

CELLAR TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT
PART IN NEW JERSEY POLITICS

"Joe" feels the effect. But when,
ask enthusiastic New Jersey repub-
leans OF the Frolinghnysen persua-
sion. when, II ever. has the Harding
administration been even relatively
unpopular? A second buttress TO
Frelinghuysen's strength In his own
party is the help he has been able
to give some influential citizens In
matters pertaining to property affect
ed by the war.
His pet hobby. collecting rare and
valuable postage stamps. has not, so
far AS is known. hurt him with the
voters.
While the republican vets seek in
vain for a champion to overthrow

act was knocked out by a court de-
cision the other day, and that, FIRE.
linghuysen's opponents lssLrt, was
a hard blow to him, and a cores
ponding strengthening of Governor
Edwards senatorial chances.
The place of the cellar-svimming
pool story in the plot of the rapidly
thickening Jersey political drama is
that of comedy-relief. Somebody
started a story that Frelinghuysen
