EDITOR EVENING JEWS:
I wonder what will have to hap
pen in Jamesburg to arouse the de-
cent people? 1 ask this question fol-
lowing a dance held in Lange's Hall
on Friday evening, Jamesburg, that
rivalled any of the western dance
halls as seen in tn movies. Young
men and young girls, escorts of the
men, came to the hall in a half in
toxicated condition, displaying whis-
key bottles and using profane Ian
guage, many of the respectable la
dies who were in the habit of attend
ing the dances at Jamesburg, had
to leave the hall in terror. The hall
was filled with cigarette smoke and
as a fitting climax to the evening the
youth pulled the decorations from
the walls and ceiling as souvenirs,
This affair was a disgrace to the
Jamesburg citizens and a demonstra-
ton should be made to put an end to
future affairs like this when strang-
ers come to hire halls. What was the
matter with the police? Were they
asleep?

THOSE WHO GET THE CASH

The playing of the world series revives discussion concerning
the financial rewards of the diamond heroes. Last year each mem
bers of the winning team received about $1,000 as his share of the
receipts. The losing players got about $4,000 apiece. About
100000 was divided among the team owners, the two leagues and
the advisory council The total receipts exceeded 10000
This year the managers expect an even richer yield from the
pockets of the fans. 1t is remarked that the average college pro-
fessor or clergyman does not receive as much in an entire year as
these ball players for a weeks work. But neither does the average
lawyer or doctor, the country over. Teachers and preachers
ought to be better paid, but that is no argument for reducing the
amount of the champion ball players annual pickup. The size
Of their reward merely emphasizes the fact that financial payments
are not at all in accordance with the services rendered to society.
Money is not the measure of the man. The great painter en-
joys no such income as that of the comic cartoonist who makes
millions laugh. The most finished actor on the American stage is
q pauper compared with Charley Chaplin. The writer of chest
sellers is a capitalist, whereas the accomplished literary artist
may have trouble making income balance outgo. The public is al
ways ready to reward richly those who entertain it. Those who
lead and instruct it and heal its physical and spiritual ailments
must find their chief recompense in the consciousness of duty done
The public will submit to being taught and admonished and
helped by experts, but it is not going to pay them as much as the
folks who provide amusement for its leisure hours. 1t is not even
going to pay its statesmen, who bear the burden of government,
as much, nor its captains of industry, large, proportionately, as
their salaries may appear. This system of apportioning financial

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

That adage of Revolutionary origin, Gin Union there is
strength" has always been peculiarly American. Nowhere has a
union of geographical parts and racialy opposed peoples been eS-
tabished and perpetuated with the same degree of success as in
the formation of the United States. Americans have always be-
Union has been spontaneous in the face Of every common enemy
and in support of every cause.
Leaders of all unitarian movements have long recognized the
American instinct to unite. Thus, through the uniting of interests
and individuals, have national and community movements of gil
gantic proportions proved successful. Shown the need, the Ameri-
can people has always united in its attainment.
Almost daily confagratons by fire either in the large cities
with their great mills, towering skyscrapers and congested tene-
ment districts, or in smaller cities and towns or in the broad prai
rMs or in the deep forests have impressed upon the minds of the
people of the United States the sagacty of that ancient aphorism:
vention has been a crying need long recognized by the nation. AS
a result some years ago fire prevention programs were undertaken
by national, state and city governments and in some instances by
fire insurance companies and large corporations. They were
marked with some success, but something was lacking. That some
thing was the united effort of all the people.
The demand for a national fire prevention movement in which
every man, woman and child would be recruited has in recent
years provoked presidential proclamations fixing an annual fire
prevention week. Proclamations by President Coolidge and Gov
ernor Silzer have fixed the week of October 7 in which fire pre-
vention week is to be observed this year. During this week the
message Of fire prevention is to be carried into every state, COM
munity and home by intensive publicity, educational campaigns
and school programs. A national appeal is tt be made for ordinary
care in the use of fire and for the observance of the simple rules Of
fire prevention in the home, factory, business building, field and
forest.
