 About the only thing that the lives of great men remind most of us of is what pikers we are.
 Most of the knocking people do can be traced to sour grapes.
 When man guesses a womans age he makes his guess at least 10 years under what he really thinks her age is. But when another wo- man guesses 1t she adds about 10 or 20 years.
 Men may never pay much atten- ton to dangerous curves-unless they are on a pretty girl.
 When girl says her face is her fortune it would be breach of etiquette to ask her if she made her own fortune.
 About the last thing that seems to interest a young man in love is whether the girl has the qualified. tions for making good wife-or good biscuits.
 Women are queer. When one of them meets another woman with whom she has had a fuss she'll kiss her as sweet as can be- But she never kisses her husband when she is on the sents with him.

)AYS MUNITIONS
KEY IN NEXT WAR
ZEN. Williams Declares VIC
tory of America Depends
Upon Reserves.

The next major war will be won or
'ost on the sufficiency of munitions
'cserves," Maj. Gen. Clarence C. Will
Jams. chief of Army ordnance, pre-
ticted in his annual report made pub
ic today at the War Department.
II wish to emphasize the prepon-
}erating Importance of adequate
emergency reserves" Gen. Williams
aid, adding that in view of the iso-
ated position, highly developed spe-
ialiZed Industries and immense re-
Sources of the United States 1t
seemed fairly certain that no power
or combination of powers now in eX-
'stence" could successfully invade the
country after American man power
and industry had been fully mobil-
zed.
The possible rate of mobilization
will always be determined by the
state of our reserves" the report said
since man power can be modified
much more rapidly than industry.
from this point of view, taking into
account the present economic devel-
opment of the world. it may be said
that the next major war will be won
or lost on the sufiiciency of munitions
reserve"
The war left the country with a
large stock of reserves on hand, Gen.
Williams continued, but with the
passage of time the value of these is
decreasing due to DEVELOPMENT of
improved and more powerful types"
There is also, he added, a deteriora-
ton in stocks of ammunition. which
is very much more pressing" than
the question of obsolesence of ma
terial.
The report said that lack of funds
during the last two years has pre-
vented completion of the artillery de-
Nelopment program worked out at the
close of the war. and that 1t has been
possible to cover reasonably well"
In contracted program only the gun
equipment for infantry. divisional
batteries and small caliber anti-air-
craft weapons, together with one
type of tank. Even the contracted
program cannot proceed ito an eff
fectlve degree" during the coming
year under budget limitations, the
report added.
The department has now been
working on the program for four
years and can see no hopes of devel-
oping for the service and getting GER
tain designs under the limited pro-
gram ready for production without
substantial increase in the funds
available" said Gen. Williams. He
added that work which could be done
IN one year by his department now
required three years time to com
plete.

BOY WIZARDS

A wonderful boy astronomer lives in Athens. Greece. he
is William Nelson Abbott, Is years old.
This lad was the first to make the discovery, some weeks
ago. that the star Beta Ceti had "flamed up" to the extreme
briliancy known as "star of the first magnitude"
Astronomy has been his hobby since he was IL. AND he
is so far advanced in this great scientific field that he has been
given honorary membership in the Societe Astronomique de
France and the Association FRANCHISE DIES observations
dEtoles Variables of Lyons.
Young Abbott is descended from an Englishman who went
to the Near East as q Crusader, centuries ago, and settled IN
Greece. That ancestor certainly would have been dun1btounded
such a boy prodigy at astronomy. That's the great fascination
of parenthood-the uncertainty as to our descendants, their
mentality and careers.
Abbott made his discovery, about the Star Beta Ceti, with
his naked eye. Then, he says:
I went to the telescope to compare Beta with the star
Aldebaran, which is taken as a unit and found that Beta had
increased in briliance more than three magnitudes. I deter
mined the stars position on a chart and telephoned to the
Athens Observatory, where it was said that nothing had been
observed.
"I telegraphed next day to NJ. Flammarion, the astronom-
er in Paris"
Flammarion checked the lad up, found he was right.
You recall the Polish boy chess wizard. On his heels
comes this lad in Greece, apparently destined to be one of the
worlds greatest astronomers, possibly the leader.
Margaret Mcguire, Philadelphia educator, originator OF
schools for backward pupils, tells about a boy who came un-
der her observation. He seemed to be the champion %dumbbell,s
half asleep and disinterested in the subjects that the teachers
brought to his attention.
'Then, says Miss Mcguire, some one happened to men
ton radio. And the boy stood up and began to lecture on
radio technical terms that amazed the teachers. "
That boy had, born in him, the scientific intellect that is
characteristic of the rising generation. When a groWn'up
hears some Of these knee-trousers lads talking about radio
well, it rather makes him feel that the older generation
belongs to an obsolete period"
The world is entering a great scientific age. The rising
generation reveals that, clear-cut, Enthusiastically.

TO SOLVE THE MORRIS CANAL PROBLEM

Governor Silzer is going to call a conference of all the munich
palties interested in the Morris canal project in an effort to arrive
at some decision as to what to do with the waterway, now that it
has been turned over to the state. The governor vetoed a bill
passed by the legislature at the last session providing for a COM
mission to study the matter and carrying an appropriation of
$4,000 to defray expenses. The governor said that such commits
sons were useless and the money would be wasted.
The method adopted by the governor is. much better. 1t is
likely to get results. Public sentiment is bound to be expressed in
this manner that could not be brought out in any other way. The
solution of this canal problem is essentially for the municipalities
through which it passes. High speed electric passenger service
seems to be the logical use of the canal in the thckly populated
sections between Newark and Paterson. Beyond Paterson one gets
into the mountain and lake region of the state. There the canal
becomes involved in valuable water rights and other economic
features that will require much care and considerable study to
work out.
From the point of view of the state at large the main object
is to get rid of the ditch so that the expense of the upkeep can be
eliminated. The quicker this is done the better. The canal, as far
as its cash value is concerned, has been removed to a more logical
location for waterway development. The money received from the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has been turned over to the State
Board of Commerce and Navigation for the purpose of buying the
right of way across the state for the proposed ship canal that is
the connecting link in the chain of inland waterways along the
Atlantic coast. No more appropriate use could be made of the
money. But the old canal is still to be disposed of and unless it is
disposed of quickly it will be a great drain on the state treasury.
