State Federation
Protests Against
N. ]. Bridge Plan

The New Jersey State Federation
of Women's Clubs and affiliated
bodies have Instituted a vigorous
protest against the proposed bridge
plan of the state highway commits
sion to span the new highway
bridge on the Raritan River be-
tween New Brunswick and High
land Park with Jones avenue as the
main artery. The opposition by the
clubs has the interest Of the New
Jersey College of Women in mind.
The planned cut of the new state
road through Jones avenue would
divert the traffic by the science hall
of the college and directly through
the campus of the institution.
Mrs. Clayton D. Lee, president Of
the state federation has sent out
this morning an S. o. S. to the dis
trict presidents of the club in the
state urging them to take immediate
steps in protesting against the plan.
in her appeal to the divisional
bodies Mrs. Lee believes that such
an action of the state highway COM
mission would seriously imperil the
college. She states that according
to figures traffic in the vicinity Of
the college would increase some two
hundred percent within the next
few years.
"You can picture what this
stream of vehicular traffic going
past the college would mean for the
girls Mrs. Lee pleads.
Mrs. Charles A. Prickett, third
district vice-president of the state
federation commenting on the state
wide campaign against the plan
queried why the state should sacri-
fee one institution in which it has
so great an interest for the sake of
| another improvement is hard 10

! to the efforts put in by the fedora
ton some five years ago in bring

| istence and the hardship all districts

1 state has contributed more thar
$500, 900. The federation has also
in mind to add a music hall which
would cost in the vicinity of $780,
900. The college is attended by
400 students.
There have been a number OF
substitute routes suggested to the
highway board, Mrs. Prickett said
but none of them seemed to receive
the attention of the commission.
The protest will not only be carried
| to the attention of the state high
way commission but Governor SilzerI
| Mrs. Prickett declared.
In the meantime the commission
is expected to be swarmed with
| petitions from all parts of the state
| against the present plan. Follow
| ing the suggestion of the state presi-
| dent, chairmen of the district
clubs will mail out within the course
of a few days petitions urging them
to abandon the plan and divert the
traffic through other routes. The
| highway commission is asked
| to consider the objections of the wo-
men.

DON'T BE PETTY

A petty soul and a petty mind are a deadly combination.
1t spells stagnation. A petty soul means a narrow, warped IN
significant personality. Such a nature is filled with the venom
of envy, the poison of jealousy, the sting of spite and the greed
of avarice. In life what chance has the person with a petty
soul7 By her pettiness she has branded herself as unpopular.
She has shut off all avenues of growth by stunning her per-
sonality, embittering her disposition and b~lighting her nature.
Above all thinks avoid pettness of soul.
Closely related to a petty soul is a petty mind. Let us con-
slider the petty mind in business. Every business woman
knows Of such a type. One does not naturally find such a type
very high on the business ladder, [ wager you.
The windows of a petty mind are so small that they mar
row ones vision, lower ones standards and cramp ones per-
spective. How can there be growth with such a combination?
Keep the windows of your mind large. Have a perspective.
Don't focus anyways on one spot. Don't be a slave to details.
Let us learn to put the emphasis in the most important place.
Let us see the essential point; for the truly successful person
is the one who does.
Another type of a petty mind is the person who is big
oted, narrow, one-sided in her opinions. Listen to, see, and
consider all sides of a question or plan of action before you
adopt or condemn it. Overcome pettiness of mind # you de-
sire to grow in the world.

YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. L. G. S. writes:
Tell me, please, the reason for the
fontanel being sunken at times
why does a doctor when examin-
ing a baby feel of that alwaysE An
infant weighing 7 pounds, IA ounces
at birth should weight how much
at three months Is there any
cause to worry if one eye does MOI
open as widely as the other? What
is the best time for bowel move
ments, and how man during the
tw~enty-four hours?
Answer
A sunken fontanel usually 1ndl-
cataes a physical condition tina Is

To see how the fontanel is closing.
About thirteen pounds is the r
rect weight for this age.
The eyes are not working IN

one eye will be closed when the 9TH

worry.
The best time for a bowel action
is directly after the first feeding OF
the day, or just before the bath time
Two a day is about right. One can
be perfectly normal, and so can
