Bible Thought For Today
TRIBUTE TO COL. BRYANT

The plan to inaugurate a statewide movement to place a
memorial tablet in the state house in Trenton to commemorate
the service to New Jersey by the late Commissioner of Labor
Bryant. will be generally Endorsed in Perth Amboy and vicinity.
Both working men and manufacturers here found Col, Bryant
an able. conscientious and efficient public servant as well as being
a good friend. So popular was this public servant it is no won
der that Governor. Sizer is finding its so difficult to fill his position.
In summing up Col. Bryants achievements to improve labor
and employment conditions in the state the Manufacturers Asso-
cation, in resolutions adopted recently declares that 'he dealt with
industry and viii those who labored in industry with the sure hand
Of one who knew. He improved conditions of labor in the state,
rot in a few, but in a multitude of different ways; not only that,
but he stabilized industry and brought the employer and employee
into a better and more continuous relationship; he had the con-
fdence of all, not alone because of his answering integrity, but
because he knew whereof he spoke and those with whom he dealt
knew what he knew. He made the state of New Jersey a model
in its laboring conditions, so that he was sought after to aid other
commonwealth, but he felt his work unfinished and with true
loyalty continued to labor here until the end.'
A fitting tribute should be paid to this model public official
and Perth Amboy wants to join in paying respects to one who
made such an enviable record in public life.

THE UNDERWORLD

Crime costs the American people more than three billion
dollars a year-or roughly $50 for every man, woman and
child.
This is the estimate by the National Surety Company,
which bonds employers who handle money-cashiers, treas,
ursFs, etc,
the visible or reported crimes. Petty thefts, which never get
publicity, never are called to attention of public officials,
must mount up to q staggering sum each year.
What do you think is the most costly form OF erlIaeF
Stock frauds, answers Cromwell, president of New York
Stock Exchange. He figures that swindling by the sale
of securities costs the American people a billion dollars q year,
or q third of the total cost Of crime.
Fraudulent bankruptcies get away with 400 million dollars
- year.
Based on police estimates, the national loss from bHrs
glary, larceny and general petty thefts is only $50 million
dollars ? year, -
That IS amazing-burglars and other thieves getting away
with only q fourth as much as the stock swindlers.
BmbeEzers make off with 100 million dollars o year,
Forgefs get about the same. A fourth Of this amount covers
railroad freight thefts.
Bonding companies books show that between 1910 and
1922 the losses from ~burglaries increased 1900 per cent. while
entertainments jumped 500 per cent. These figures are based
on meaey losses. The average criminal JOB" of course, in
wolves more money than it used to. Putting it on a straight
douar-andueents basis, and eliminating moral considerations,
the theft Of 5000 today is equivalent to the theft of 500 before
the war, e
Even thieves have to figure on the increased cost Of living.
A prominent expert attributes the increase ia financial
crimes to discomfort, envy, unemployment, desire for luxury
beyond earning capacity, earelessness OF people whose funds
are stolen, unfairly low pay, and widespread ~disrespect for
property rights and law, caused partly by the World War"
That last reason may be the most important one.
Comparing the national crime bill with the total income Of
the American people, about 81 in each SIS OF $40 that is pro.
daeed by honest effort is stolen by the parasites.

AS THE PEOPLE WILL

A student of the problem of automobile regulation thinks he
has discovered why only a few states have undertaken to prevent
highway accidents by restricting grants of operators licenses to
the demonstrated fit and providing for revocation when evidence
Of unftness Of licenses is forthcoming. He says that, ''n most
legislatures the representatives of small towns and rural districts
constitute a majority. Except in q very few states the accident
problem outside the cities has not become sufficiently acute to
arouse public sentiment. the rural representatives gets no
demand for action from the people back home"
There may some truth in this. But it will not be generally ae-
eepted as an explanation Of the bad condition that is constantly
growing worse. There is as much complaint from small towns
and rural districts against reckless drivers as arises in the cities.
More real effort is made in the smaller communities, apparently,
ito enforce safety regulations and punish infEaeieps Of them than
rs made in the cities. In the earlier days of motoring farmers
were loudest among the protestsnts against the new dangers of
1.-THE roads. Tt is not believable that familiarity with the peris
mas made them eoptemptuous now. And if a serious condition
were chargeable in large degree to Getty fellers, we may be
sure ruralites would not cease. their demands for relief until they

BUILDING CONTINUES

A nationwide survey of building permits issued in July indi
- CRIES that high material and labor costs have not caused dis
enlargement to many of those planning construction. A total of
$685. 900, 900 in 23s cities embraced in the review shows that build
ing is till at high tide, these figures being 144 per cent. greater
than in the corresponding month last year. In the South alone
is there less activity than a year ago while the Pacific Coast ex-
hibits the highest percentage of gain. That there is no material
IuTl in building at peak costs is proof of the belief of those thus
putting their money into such enterprises that there is no imme-
date hope generally of a marked decline in prices and that the
demand warrants the investment.
If present conditions in building promise a profit on the
structures erected there is no ground for expectation of an early
drop in rents. This may not be comforting to those who long for
a decline in this important factor in the cost of living, but high
y cost Of new buildings will not diminish rents while it will assist in
maintaining present rates on older buildings. 1t has been the
belief of some that a reduction of the shortage of housing would
lead to lower rents but conditions are such as to prevent any
great excess. Those who are building at present rates certainly
are doing it as a matter Of urgency.
The situation is not such as induces construction as a matter
Of speculation in hope of a material rise in values, 1t happens
that the activity is not uniform over the country but taken as
a whole it is evident that there is a large amount of capital loose
for building despite conditions which might be regarded as un
favorable. 1t is proof the general prosperity Of, the country not
outstanding that agriculture has been hit hard by prices.

'ging a dusty sack of cotton, the hu-
man eye directs the human hand in
picking the cotton. The machine has
tive large s~heet-steel tanks, or the
inside of each Of which is a cotton-
sack some twelve feet long with its
mouth held open. A delivery tube
t%enters the mouth Of the sack. From
this tube leads a flexible rubber hose
pm the end of which is a nozzle of a
little less than one inch in diam
ster,
A centrifugal pump exhausts the
air from the tank, where-upon if the
noEzle of the flexible rubber tube is
opened a powerful blast of air rushes
into It. Hold the nozzle TO a ripe
cottqn-boll and the extremely light
nber Is caught by the thrush of air
and, as n description puts it
Pjerked hence in a manner so uR-
belieyeably swift that it looks like
maggie" The dried leaves or sepals
being relatively much heavier are
left on the plant. There is nothing
about the apparatus to become clog
ged up from the gum OF the cotton
boil.
The whole machine rides on top
OF a Fordson tractor, of which there
are already some 100000 in the
South, and o which it may be attach
ed without any modification what
ever to the tractor. The picking
tubes have a spring valve attachment
to the nozzle, so that if they are
dropped by the operators by acct
dent the air stream Is closed off auto
matically and no dirt will be picked
up from the ground.
In actual operation the air pump
Is put on only n tank at a time.
Six piekers constitute the crew of
each machine and all work at once.
Each picker wears a belt, to which
the vacuum tube from the harvester
Is attached. The tube forks in the
back and smaller tubes lead to two
n9zzles SO that the picker works
with both hands at once. The air
lines lie along the rows and eonse-
Iquently do not break down : this
plants, When the cotton sack on
the interior of the tank is full, the
white cotton is seen backed ur
lagainst a little window in the tank
lThe operator then switches the pump
Ito the other tank and removes the
full sack.
In the tests in Texas the harvester
picked cotton at the rate of 80
pounds per hour per man, and the
~elesHness resulting from its being
saeked infthe machine instead of be-
ing dragged over the ground led
cotton buyers to offer two cents
more per pound for the yacuum-
picked cotton.
While it was stated a few months
ago that a successful contemplating
machine had not yet been devised, 1t
does not follow that this new ap-
paratus is a product of the present
yeaT-the authority who made the
statement was in error The new
machine was tried out last year, and
may be somewhat extensively used
