GETS $4,000 FOR SAVING LIFE

New Brunswick, N. Capt. John
w. Vanderveer has just learned that
70 him has been left the $4,000 estate
Of Patrick Lang of Atlantic Highlands
as a reward for saving Lang's life 10
years ago. The estate was willed
originally to Mrs. Lang, with the pro
viso that al her death it should go to
Vanderveer. Mrs. Lang died only a
short time ago.
Lang was rescued by Vanderveer in
September, 1909 off the rocks at Port
Monmouth, N. J. Lang was one of five
passengers in a mOtOrbOat returning
from a fishing trip off the Highlands.
Captain Vanderveer, standing nearby
in his motorboat saw the peril. Two
of the men were saved by other fisher
men, and Captain Vanderveer plunged
into the sea and got Lang safely to his
boat. The others were drowned

enroll CHILDREN
FOR SCHOOL WORK
SoULEN ADVISES STARTING SIX.
YEAR-OLD CHILDREN SECOND
SEMESTER.

A few days ago Superintendent Sou
len announced through the columns
Of the Star-Mirror the desirability of
having children who have reached six
years enroll in the first grade at
the beginning of the second semester.
Six children responded.
Perhaps the significance of this was
not made clear Assuming that about
as many children reach six years of
age in January as in September a
small enrolment like this indicates
that next September there will be an
unusually large number. Since Mos
COW teachers are not engaged for the
half year it means unusual crowding
for those who enroll in September and
consequent loss to the pupils.
Children enrolling in January have
exactly the same type of work as
those enrolling in September. This
crowding at one period of the year
may necessitate additional expense to
the district, but always results In
more or less disturbance Of efficient
work. Parents who have children now
six years Of age who are not in
school should not postpone registra-
ton until next September, but should
enroll their children at once. Monday
will be reserved for such re-
gjstration In Miss Browns room at
the high school.

pay the sugar producer his 1920 ex-

grower his 33 cents per pound extra
on pound of wool. And the manu-
facturer of woollen goods his extra
$100 or $500 per yard for his cloth.
And the lumber man his extra price
permitted by the favoriteism of the
government. And so on down the
line which would include an extra
price for labor on the farm. And we
would still have enough to pay our
taxes. Such measure would stabel-
ize land values. If this could become
a law now for the next crop, the
wheels of almost every industry
would double their speed. 1t would
bring prosperity now.
Equal Division of the Pie or Divide
No Pie at all.
However, strong, healthy children
of family do not object to seeing
a once promising youth, who has
grown thin and pale and Is liable to
succumb for want Of nourishment, re-
ceive a piece Of pie, while they do
without. And this should be the case
especially when the weakness Of the
pale brother has been brought about
by the over feeding OF the others.

There does not seem to be much
sentiment in this business Of furnish

Saving of $3.50, 900.

Seven blocks of real estate now oc-
cupied by temporary war-work build
ings, west of 18th street and north
of the new Munitions and Navy annex
buildings, have been purchased under
an appropriation of $1,500.O00 last
year. In this transaction a saving of
between $180,000 and 100000 was
effected, which will be turned back
into the Treasury, Representative
VIII r. Wood of Indiana told the
House yesterday in presenting the
independent Offices appropriation bill.
In showing how savings are being
made in the cost of housing various
government activities, Representative
Wood said:
"The superintendent of public
buildings and grounds since our last
appearance before you has taken
control over the Patent Office, the In
terror Department building, the Land
Office building and the Pension Office
building.
This was splendid piece of bust
ness. By reason of his taking over
the Interior Department building
alone 1T has resulted in saving OF
$4,000 in one year, and a saving in
all the buildings. including the In
terror Department, has amounted to
$11S,787. This has been done very
largely by reducing the overhead ex-
pense. One of the principal items In
this reduction is the getting rid of a
whole lot of unnecessary watchmen."

THE RICHES OF THE RUHR
German Industrial Prosperity.
What the French Expect to Find.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

less analytically discussing Ger
many's capacity to pay reparations,
il is interesting to recall a grandilo-
quent tabuIation of German national
wealth issued at Berlin on the eve of
the world war. 1t was compiled by
the famous Dresdner Bank, one of
the so-calIed four I'D" banks Of Ger
many, which comprise perhaps the
most powerful money trust in Europe.
The compilation was entitled Ger
many's Economic Strength" and was
issued in honor of Emperor William
lis silver jubilee in 1913. The pur-
pose of the publication was to demon
strate that the German empire was
the richest country in the world, bar
ring only the United States. Ger
many's Economic Strength" was
translated into virtually every mod
ern language and circulated broad
cast as categorical, statistical evil
dence of the fatherland's financial
and Industrial might.
AS the DreSdner Banks figures
throughout are compared with cor
responding data in France and Great
Britain, the obvious object was to
show Germans and the world at large
that they were the wealthiest people
in Europe. Here are some of the
German claims:

HOUSE COMMITTEE
CLEARS DAUGHERTY
Charges in Impeachment
Case Found Unsupported
by Evidence.

The report of the House judiciary
committee on its investigation OF the
impeachment charges brought against
Attorney General Daugherty by Rep
resentative Keller. republican. Mime
sofa, was submitted today to the
House by Chairman Volstead. Whether
1t will be called up for action by the
House has not yet been determined.
The high spots" of the report
are the resolution adopted yesterday
by the committee virtually dismiss
ing the charges as unsupported by
evidence and the finding of the spe-
cial subcommittee, approved by the
committee, that the House had ~---
thority to punish Mr.. Keller by i'm
prisonment or otherwise for his re-
fusal to obey a subpoena issued
after he had withdrawn from the
case.
May Force Appearance.
The committee report said there
was no merit" to Mr.. Keller's claim
that he was not obliged to respond
to the subpoena since it was served
on him while representative in Con-
SreSS, ana AIDED:
Your committee is of the opinion
that Mr.. Keller was legally required
to obey said subpoena; that the House
or Representatives possesses the
power to cause him to be arrested
and confined in prison until he shall
consent to testify, such confinement
not to extend beyond the term of this
congress, and power to otherwise
deal with him so as to compel obedi-
ence to the summons"
Bitter Fight Feared.
There was no suggestion as to how
the Minnesota representative might
be dealt with otherwise than by I'M
prisonment, nor was there any rec
ommendation that the Hodse take any
action against him. Some committee
men favor the establishment of a
precedent in this case, but it was q
foregone conclusion that if the mat
ter were taken up on the floor there
would be a long and bitter fight
against adopting the committee view.
as an established rule of the House.
The entire report of the committee
contained slightly less than a thou
sand words, and most of it was de-
the impeachment proceedings. There
was no attempt to analyze the evil
dence submitted, the committee con-
tenting itself with the publication of
the names of the witnesses and the
text of its resolution, holding that
there had been found no ground ito
believe that Mr.. Daugherty had been
guilty of any high crime or misde-
meanor requiring the interposition OF
the impeachment powers OF the
House
