Mrs. Feickert
Has Statement

PLAINFIELD, March 80. - Mrs.
+. L. Feickert, president of the New
Jersey Women's Republican Club in
a statement gives an account of the
commotion in the assembly at Tren-
ton the night the no night work for
women bill was passed. She contra
diets the statements of the various
papers credited to Assemblyman
Evans, Hershfield, Dater and Scher-
merhorn in connection with her
election from the assembly cham ber.
Mrs. Feickert says that in spite of
the efforts of Assemblymen Sexsmith
and Stiles she could not secure a
pass admitting her to the chamber.
Assemblyman Rowland, chairman of
the miscellaneous committee noticed
Mrs. Feickert outside the chambeV
and secured a pass for her. Almost
Immediately after she was admitted,
Mrs. Feickert says it was moved to
go into conference on the night work
bill. After an hour and a half As
semblyman Negus. of Passaic county
came out in the lobby and said that
he needed one more vote. This
meant that thirteen were standing
firm against an amendment. The
conference then broke up and the
matter came back to the floor.
When the session was resumed,
Mrs. Feickert says, Speaker Evans
ordered her out of the chamber in
spite of the pass. The bill was then
in order to kill it. The
bill did so through the
senate after all but the amendment

A special ring for Divorces has
been designed by a Paris Jeweler.
He is undecided whether to call it
a divorce ring or ring of dis
union.
The design consists of Cupid's ar
row broken in halves and can be
executed in various ways.
Its originator says that divorce has
become SO frequent as to form part
of our most fashionable institutions,
and that it is an absolute necessity &c
provide parties thereto with a dis
tinctive emblem.
Great possibilities are seen in this
quaint little custom from over the
sea.
Just picture, for instance, the di-
vorcce drawing down heavy alimcny
from. the dear legally departed. Her
ring would be fashioned with gold
dollar mark conspicuously chased.
The grass widow who separated
from her continually late spouse on
account of ill-temper and its allied
vexations, could flaunt a fiery red
ruby on the broken dart.
A rolling pin rampant is another
heraldic device that could be en-
graved on a mans seal ring to ex-
plain why he is now living at the
athletic club.
An ingenious mind could devise
many novel things in the way of di-
vorce rings.
But why bother? The men would
never wear them. Witness how few
men don wedding rings. But they
do everything they can to encourage
women in the wearing of distinctive
tags,

Bible Lecture
Most Entertaining

Miss Elizabeth Vermilye spoke on
THE New Testament" in her usual
charming manner, before a large
assemblage in the high school lio-
rary. yesterday afternoon.
The period between the end of
the Old Testament and the birth OF
Christ was a trial of sadness for the
Jewish people, the speaker said.
Under Israel they began to build
Jerusalem and under jeremiah they
were permitted to finish it. During
this period we find Apostolic litera-
tur, among the oriental people. Min
isters today are using their interpre-
tation on Apostolic literature, SAID
the speaker. 1t is very hard to
dissect the new testament. 1t is alb
solutely the only place we can go
and get the information we need.
There has grown up a new scrutin-
izing which has given it new power,
and new value.
There is nothing that has come
up that has detracted from the new
testament. continued .the speaker.
We can admit certain things in the
fault of the new testament New
facts about the old world and new
facts about man which seem to up
set the new testament said the
speaker. The new testament is not
a book, it is a series of miscellane-
Gus documents, twenty-seven in all
We find biography, autobiography,
poetry, little history, Greek philos-
ophy, and quite a bit of Apostolic
literature. 1t contains four records
of the life of Jesus telling of his
teachings. The dates of the Apostle
lie records are in great doubt, and
have been the cause of discussion
for many years. and it is generally
conceded that the earliest gospel did
not come later than forty years after
the death of Christ. Other divisions
of the testament are The Historic
cal Record of the Forming of the
Christian church" Letters written
by Paul and others known as epis-
ties and revelations, a prophecy Of
what is to come.
Miss Nermilye concluding, spoke
of the Resurrections, and said that
the Christian church was founded
on the behalf of the resurrections.
This concluded an unusually fine
series of lectures on The Bible as
Literature" given during Lent,
which have proved most interesting
and educational.
MIS-. n. I. clark, chairman or lne
Literature Department of the WO-
mans Club, and her committee un
der whose auspices these lectures
were given are to be congratulated
upon procuring Miss Vermilye, who
is a gifted, cultured woman, who

- MOTORS ard MOTORING -
SAYS FLYING MAKES
MOTORIST CAREFUL
Capt. Horton Claims Aviators
Learn to Appreciate Speed
ing" Danger.

Has a knowledge of flying any
effect on the way motorist drives
his carr" is question frequently
asked by those who believe the av-
iator ought to have an interesting
slant on automobiling.
Capt. Harry NJ. Horton, who is in
a unique position to judge, being
both an aviator and the local Duesen-
berg representative, says that once
you have braved the air you are much
more careful how you brave the mod
ern traffic of the streets and high
ways.
AN aviators most uncomfortable
moments" Capt. Horton says, ARE
when he is the guest of an automobile
she'll do The motorist seems to
have a notion that the man who flies
speeds and thus proceeds to the as
sumption that, no matter how wildly
he drives. 1t cannot be as dangerous
as the sport the aviator indulges in.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. The aviator Is one Of the few
who really appreciates the vast dis
tinction between speed and speeding.
In an airplane speed is the safety
factor, the motion of the plane de-
termining It's ability to weather the
of the city Speeding in an airplane,
IL recognized, would mean speed that
is inconsistent with conditions.
These speeds might be forty miles
per hour or $50; any speed which
renders the vehicle unsafe. In the
former speed the slow motion Of the
plane might endanger the pilot and
the lives or property of others should
an occasion arise for sudden accelera-
tion from gliding to a speed sufficient
to rise. In the latter he might en-
danger himself and others through
straining the engine. thereby encour-
aging breakage and loss of power.
When the motorist comes to ap-
preciate that speeding means driving
at rate inconsistent with traffic
road. weather and car conditions he
will not consider himself a law-abid
ing pilot Just because he keeps
within the legal limit or just because
he thinks fifty miles per hour is a
snails pace in these days of aviation
and high speed"

By WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Among the numerous problems now
before police officials and traffic ex-
perts throughout the country is the
question as to whether the medical
profession should or should not be
granted special privileges in the mat
ter of parking. right-of-way and
speed when engaged in the perform
ance of their duties.
In some cities the authorities have
said Yes" to the plea of the NJ. D.'s.
In other cities the police say NO.
Washington is among the latter.
But what seems to be consistently
overlooked in the matter is that the
request made by the medical men Is
an indirect plea for the public.
Officials in the cities where the
physician is delayed and inconven-
fenced in the performance of his most
serious duties take the attitude that
no special privileges should be
Eranted to any classes OF people; to
which the medical profession replies
that every physician is a public serv-
ant when called in an emergency.
Under Obligation to Public.
This throws a new light on the sub
iect The medical man is constantly
under obligation to the public to an
swer emergency calls. night or day
storm or sunshine. when human life
hangs in the balance. He does not
contemplate jeopardizing the lives OF
others to save the life of one, but he
feels that 1t is to the public's benefit

ever possible. and especially to see
that he is not delayed by NO park
ing" signs.
Denver. Memphis, Knoxville. Ke-
nosha. Syracuse, Buffalo. Springfield
Mass0 and other large cities now
give special recognition to cars bear
ing the automobile emblem of the
American Medical Association, but the
public does not always appreciate the
underlying principle of the thing, nor
is the profession always granted suf-
ficient leeway to make the plan com
pletely effective.

plans to have scout cars placed all
around the city to guide strangers

These scout cars will be stationed
along the Rockville pike to care for
visitors from the north and west,
other cars will take up duty on the
Washington- Baltimore boulevard. while
still others will stand watch on the
south shores Of the Potomac In Vir-
ginia.
Since It is certain that virtually
every first-time motoriSt to the ma
tion's capital will want to visit Mount

these points have been prepared by
