THE FIREMEN's RELIEF FUND

Whenever there is an accumulation of money, particularly If
it is public money or the funds Of some organization, there is al
ways somebody ready to spend it. Elaborate schemes of various
sorts are proposed, some of them more or less attractive, that
would use up the money on hand in jig time. Some people simply
cannot endure having a surplus of money lying about, especially if
they have only a part interest in it and believe that they can SO
manipulate things as to get a larger share.
The volunteer fremen Of the state seem to be up against a
situation like this. Their association, with the assistance OF the
state. has built up quite a fund out of which very substantial sick
and death benefits are now paid. This fund is in a prosperous con-
some leaders in the organization; they want to do something Win
it. Paying it out in small sums as benefits is not spectacular enough
for them. They want to do the big thing, make a grand splurge and
point with pride at some magnificent achievement.
Accordingly, the idea is advanced that a hospital be erected
at Boonton where the state fremen's home IS located. 10 Dulo
and maintain such an institution would wipe out the entire SICK
and death benefit fund, it is claimed, and 1t is natural tnat there
should be opposition. The Perth Amboy frement met yesterday
and registered a strong protest against such a move. Ihey argue
that they can well take care of any OF their members needing nos
pital treatment and so can any other association IN the state,
especially with the assistance of the relief fund. 1t is clear that il
this fund should be used up in maintaining the hospital only those
who need hospital treatment would receive the benefit and they
would have to go to Boonton to get it. Under the present arrange
ment every fireman stands a chance of receiving help. He re-
ceives aid when he is sick whether he goes to a hospital or not
and his family is helped by the benefit received at his death.
The chief b~enefciaries from a hospital at Boonton would be
the people living in that immediate vicinity and occasionally a
who might be sent from some more distant part of the
state. It would seem as if the protest of the local fremen is JUST
fed. There is no question about the greatest service being given
with the fund as it is.

J. @.
A. All vessels passing through the
Panama Canal are required to pay a

coastwise trade were originally to be

that a new bill was draft | providing
that American vessels pay the same

|. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Did you
ever wonder what a scientists wife
thinks about while her distinguished
husband Is absorbed in collecting
fossils, rocks, and other important
trifles? Some scientists wives no
doubt sit at home and placidly wait
for their rowing husbands to return
from the field. Not SO Mrs. Charles
D. WaIcott, wife of the head of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Every spring when DIR. Walcott
packs his camping things in order
to start for the great fossil hunting
grounds of the Northwest, Mrs. Wal
colt packs her knickerbockers, boots,
and water color paints and prepares
to go with him. Knockers and boots
are the only possible toys for cross
ing glaciers, climbing mountain
trails on horseback and camping
for weeks at a distance of 100 miles
or more from your nearest neigh
Dor. The paints are equally impor-
tant in a different way. Mentioning
them brings us to what Mrs. Walcott
does while her husband collects
specimens for tho Smithsonian.
Her hobby is s%ketching wild flow
ers. She does not paint flowers in
an impressionistic way. She makes
carefully exact reproductions, paint
ed life size, with colors and shad-
ing copied, and every distinguishing
feature of the plant shown.
She mas 500 of these sketches of
wild flowers of both East and West.
She has always made her sketches,
as another person might collect
coins, entirely for the pleasure they
gave her. But recently scientists
saw them and were enthusiastic.
They pronounced the collection
unique a.-d valuable to science. Now
some Of the paintings are on exhl-
ton at the Smithsonian Institution
here and at the Art Institute in
Chicago, and Mrs. Walcott is being
urged to publish them In book form
wit descriptions.
The Rocky Mountain collection is
of especial interest to science be-
cause no such reproductions of the
W.T. flowers of that region have
been made before. Botanists have
collected the flowers and pressed
them and studied the parts and de-
termined the families to which the
plants belonged. But there was 10
set of naturalistic sketches showing
the plants as they are WAsH LiesLiy
plucked, and Mrs. Walcott's Work,
being done with the accuracy dear
to science, greatly pleased botanists
who saw the sketches.
It is difficult to believe that the
author of the sketches is neither g
| highly trained artist nor q botanist
| Mrs. WaIcott's mother, it seems, was
| greatly interested in botany and IL
| painting. She wished her daughter
to paint flowers. So, for four years

colt, took one lesson a week in water

WEAKNESS, encouragement ana IIequeutty uSprese
YOU as you climb toward the top Of the difficult mountain,
Success.
And the weakening of your grip-the temptation to let 60
and abandon the struggles apt to occur most strongly when
you are almost at the top. This is natural, for a climber
grows more and more exhausted as he nears the mountain
peak.
The idea is illustrated above, in the pen picture by Artist
Satterfeld. He shows a young man, near the top, stricken
with sudden fear because he has just made a mls-step. Ob
serve that his feet have loosened small rocks. But he sth
has his grip. And he will not fall unless he loses his nerve
his fighting spirit.
The mountain, Success, can be climbed. That is proved by
by millions who have already climbed it. When discouraged,
the young man should remember their precedent.
A peculiar thing is that most of us, like the young man
climbing the mountain in the picture, may be very near the
top though we cannot see it because the climb keeps our
eyes close to the mountainside.
Some philosopher has said that the last S per cent. Of the
climb to success is as difficult as the whole 95 per cent. be-
fore. This is true. Many get 95 per cent. to the goal. Only
a few keep up the fight until they conquer the short remain
ing distance.
That is why men of average or even inferior ability so
often win success by their logged perseverance, while other
men of greater ability fail. The victory is more IN the will
power than in natural ability, Influential backing or other
forms of strength.

RUM SMUGGLING ALONG THE COAST

Rum running on the New Jersey coast has got beyond a scan
dal. 1t S a joke. The 'lqiuor fleet" is / becoming more numerous
and, as is usually the case, it is the little fellow who gets caught,
when any are caught at all, and the big fellow escapes.
There is no excuse for this if the government really wants to
stop it. There are tied up at the Philadelphia navy yard hundreds
of torpedoboat destroyers fully equipped, that could be put into
service if the government would spend the money; and unless the
government does spend the money the smugglers Will never be
eaugbt. These destroyers could form a Gordon along the coast that
eonld stop the smuggling in short time. With their searchlghts
they could turn night into day on the ocean and not a rum-runner
could escape. As long as the government is content with one or
two patrol boats to do this work the smuggling Will continue.
