MR.. TYRRELL FOR POSTMASTER

With the withdrawal of Edward F. Kinsey as a candidate for
the postmastership the field is clear for the appointment of John
Henry TyrrelL. Mr.. Tyrell has been the assistant postmaster for a
great many year and has been acting postmaster since the resigna-
ton Of Richard F. White few months ago. His long service in the
post office and his thorough understanding of every phase of the
work makes him eminentIy fitted for the place. 1t is to be hoped
that his appointment as postmaster will not be long deferred.
With Mr.. TyrelI as postmaster there is every reason to believe
that the office will be taken out of politics. This is greatly to be
desired. Running a post office in a place the size Of Perth Amboy
is something more than a political sinecure to be handed out as
a reward for party service. Mr.. Tyrrell has taken no part in poll
tics for a great many years. He has devoted his entire time to his
duties at the post office, making it his sole object to give the
people service. He is popular with the employees of the office all of
whom are anxious to see him advanced to the postmastership.
Now that Mr.. Tyrrel has no opposition, and with his qualif-
cations for the office so well known, Senator Edge ought to recon-
mend his appointment to the President without delay and his ap-
pointment ought to follow promptly.

THE REFEREE
lBy Albert Applel

Thumbs
The legal value of a thumb, lost
by accident, is $225 in Wyoming and
5000 in Oregon. Similar variations
in legal value exist in regard to loss
of an eye, foot, hand, ETC., reports
the National Industrial Conference
Board. 1t urges more uniformity of
values in administering workmen's
compensation laws.
Here's a matter that'll have to be
adjusted in time. An eye is an eye
and it's as great a misfortune to lose
it in one part of America as an
other, though courts seem to think
otherwise. Lack of uniformity in
state laws is a weak link in u
union or states. The penalty for
murder, for instance, should be the
same everywhere.
Son
A court case in Paris reveals that
a Frenchman cannot be personally
sued for breach-of-promise unless he
is thirty-five years old. Up to that
age the legal action has to be direct
ed at his parents. You probably
know that q Frenchman under
thirty-five cannot marry without his
parents consent.
This is carrying things to ex-
tremes. However, we're nearly as
extreme the other way in America
children taking charge of themselves
and often the rest of the family.
American children need more disci-
plining, and American parents need
more responsibility. The so-calied
disintegration of the American home
is more the fault of parents than of
children. Discipline Is the basis of
individual character and community
progress.
Can't
American farmers, between now
and 1888, must save and put back
into their business about ten billion
dollars, to keep farms in good rum
ming condition. The Department of
Agriculture makes the estimate. . AS
n item of many, it points out that
half of the present mileage of fences
will have to be replaced in the next
ten years.
Obviously true, the same as a fac
tory must allow for depreciation
lay aside so much each year to buy
new machinery when the old equip
ment is worn out.
The farmer will answe How
can 1 do 1t, unless l get higher prices
for my crops?"
Farming, u largest industry and
the most important one, is being
driven toward bankruptcy.
Damage
Insects destroy 100 million dollars
worth of our forests a year, the gov
eminent claims in a bulletin. Still,
the forest Is the insects natural
prey. Before getting alarmed at the
insects, we'd better stop our own
needless destruction OF forests by
fires and by logging without plant
Ing a new tree for every old one we

cut down. Treeless America is one
of our national goals.
Vanishing
Americans r using up their tim.
Der supply four or i've times as fast
al new trees are being grown.
Three-fo2rths OF our original soft
wood supply has been cut down. So
warns Colonel Henry Scion Graves.
He's head OF the Yale Forest school.
The situation Is the sa. 3 as if we
ate steadily OF the bakers bread and
the baker stopped baking. Or har-
vested our wheat and failed to plant
a new crop. We must learn to re-
gard forests as q straight.ou pfopoA
sition of crops, ~replanting as we
harvest.
The replanting should be done by
the ones who chop down trees.
Dollar
Wages now buy more than they
did during the boom OF 1920, claims
National Industrial Conference
Board. Fewer dollars in the pay en-
velope, but a dollar buys more. Many
will challenge the statement. How
ever, it's true that iii dollar is an
ineonstant value. Maybe we need a
new standard of value nearly as
much as Germany and Russia. The
elastic dollar" Is not all that it's
cracked up to be.

HASKIN TELLS HOW TO
V HAY FEVER
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

having shown the type of protein
to which you are unduly sensitive,
you are ready for treatment. This
consists in giving you repeated inocu-
lations of the same protein in grad
uated doses
Similar To Typhoid Treatment
This as the principle similar to the
method OF treatment whereby per-
sons are made immune Il typhoid
FEVER and other bacterial maladies.
n human organism is stimulated
to develop protective agents within
the blood stream, or it may be said
to become desensitized. At any rate,
after a sufficient number OF treat
ments the hay fever victim frequently
ceases to be susceptible to the toxic
influence of the pollen hat has made
his life a burden every summer or
fall.
BY way of caution 1t should be
tated that this inm1nization method
of treatment is a comparatively rec
ent developments and that it should
be undertaken only by a competent
physician.
However, probably the best cure
for hay fever is a preventive meas
ure thai everybody can apply with
out danger or the possibility of COM
plications. This is the simple process
of destroying the noxious weeds be-
fore they reach the Towering stage.
If there are no weeds there will be
no pollen-infested atmosphere and
no hay fever. And If the weeds are
cut or otherwise destroyed before
pollination there will be no seeds to
sprout again another season.
ManNy efnfnE md nsasn, 1fAtar
have laws or ordinances providing
for the destruction of weeds and the
Observation-Disclosures Association is
constantly a~gitating for additional
legislation along that line. Unfor-
tunately many of the state laws that
were enacted some years ago do not
specify the pernicious rag weed in
the list of weeds that are to be de-
stroyed and 1t has been found nee
essary to seak amendments to those
statutes If they are to benefit the
hay-feverites.
But experiments have demonstrate
ed that concerted community ac-
ton car accomplish much toward
making any given section practically
free from the nay fever menace. AS
long ago as 1915 such an expert
ment was tried in and about New
Orleans with splendid results. The
city authorities co%operated in seeing
mat all rag weeds in that vicinity
were destroyed that summer and It
was found that the season of hay
fever in that city was shortened by
several weeks. The output of pollen
was so reduced within a half-mile
distance of the city as to render it
innocuous except to the most suscep-
tible, and these eventually escaped
by temporary removal to the center
of the city, beyond the reach of the
pollen laden winds.
Golden roo was loong blamed as
one of the most fruitful sources of
hay fever. but il has bech foGnd that
this was a mistake. The p i;en of
golden rod, and of daisies, dande-
liens and sunlowers, as WEI. will
produce the symptoms if directly in
haled, but at a little distance such
plants are harmless. Their pclien is
