What the Waves Say

A flowing river speaks a different
language to Henry Ford than il does
to the poet or to the artist who are
content to express or to portray its
passive beauty. To Ford its motion
is a call as of loose horses running
away to be caught and made to minist-
er to the needs of men. He has a pos
tive mania for waterpower and is turn
ing this way and that to get control
of it not forhimself at all, but to dem
onstrate what it can do too for the
world and to make its WELD give def
mite results for the greater benefit and
ease OF men in general and particular
" through the contentment of produc-
tive labor which he thinks will solve
so many of the social problems of the
times as wei. and by this eliminate
war While Muscle Shoals remains
out of reach he turns to other points
and this week secured for the use of
the Ford Motor Company, WATERFOWL
er from the dam at St. Paul and Min
neapolis.
The present oweners of the beau
tiful home of Thomas Jefferson now
negotiating with an organization of
Washington women for its sale at
S50O,000 says it has cost his family, the
Levy's, more than 100000 since their
purchase of it in 1882 and that he

Unusual Honor

Something new and interesting was
the appointment of a social and club
leader of the New Orleans women,
Mrs. William Lamb as deputy state
fire marshal in Louisiana, certainly
the first woman to be so nominated
there and- possibly anywhere. State
Fire Marshal Lecoq said he appoint
ed Mrs. Lamb in recognition of the
fire prevention I1ovements that wo-
mems organizations had so valuably
achieved.

The Noise Nuisance

Among the many unnecessary noise
nuisances must be classed the auto
mobile horn in the hands of the usual
ly young and thoughtless driver who
uses it with the same degree and spirit
OF annoying others as he, or she, did
the tin horn of few years previous.
The automobile horn, designed ds a
protection to others becomes almost
the opposite as now abused Some
young people, and particularly girls,
who in other respects would wish to be
esteemed as refined, go up and down
the streets and rudely foot their
screaming auto horns as they pass
their chums' houses just to let them
know they are passing, quite over
looking the fact that they are possibly
waking sleeping babies, put to sleep
with some effort and much time of
busy mothers or Earring the sensitive
nerves of the sick, already on edge
with racklng pain Politeness is con-
sideration for others, whether one be
III the parlor or driving a car, and
making loud noises is rude anywhere.

She Has Earned It.

No one will deny the bestowal of
the 1923 Nobel prize of $4,000 ON the
Swedish Ella Brandstrom. except her
self, who modestly disclaims any mer-
it. At the outbreak of the world war
she organized Red Cross unit at her
own expense and sent it thru every
part ri Siberia for a period of elk
years. and suffered the sickness and
the hunger and seven weeks of i'm
prise nment by the Russians with a like
herotsm of those who could not es-
cape it. Since the war she has estab-
lished a sanitarium in Germany for
the care Of the widows and orphans Of
the men who died in Siberia. Miss
Brandstrom is now on a lecture tour
OF the u. S. soliciting aid for this
sanitarium. 1t was on her arrival in
New York that she was informed of
the recommendation made for her in
regard to the Nobel prize which SEEM
ed greatly to amaze her.

VISITOR IN PARIS IS ENMESHED IN MUCH RED TAPE
Plethora of Blank Forms Almost Swamp
 Foreigner
POLICE FULLY INFORMED
Violators May Be Fined for Not Having
 Credentials

PARIS, March 17.-France is coun, try of blank forms, permits, identifica- tion papers and "red tape"
 Would you remain more than two weeks in the country? It is obligatory that you go within ten days to the prefecture of the police and obtain a permit to stay.
 At the same time you might apply for a certificate of identity. For that there is required only a passport, five small photographs and certificate of domicile, signed by the concierge of the house in which you live and stamped by the police commissaire of the arrondisement in which the house is located.
 Some days later you may humbly apply for the card and receive it for the sum of ten francs.
 Would you change your home in the city? Proceed again to the pre- lecture of the police and have your address changed on their records.
 Would you engage in a certain line of business in France. Set about at once to get a permit
 Would you practice profession You must first obtain license from the proper authorities.
 And what happens if you fail to make the necessary applications, ob- tain the necessary permits and keep in sufficient close touch with the police?
 Intermittently the newspapers re- port police raids on fashionable res taurants, Montmartre pleasure spots and other rendezvous of foreigners in the city. Half hundred persons, per haps, who are unable to produce the necessary papers, are packed into pa trol wagons, taken to the police sta station and locked up. Next day they appear before a Justice of the peace, plead guilty and are fined for a breach of regulations.
 Would you leave the country? Do you wish to take with you more than 5000 francs worth of foreign curren- cy (now less than $350)? You go first to the Commission des Changes and secure a permit. Otherwise you may be turned back at the border.
 And so it goes. Continually the for eigner puts his name down on first one blank and then another.
 In case of emergency the French police could round up the subjects of any foreign country within a few hours and almost tell them more about themselves than they themselves know.

DETROIT OFFICIAL ASKS
 LAW TO REQUIRE PROOF
 AUTOIST CAN DRIVE CAR

DETROIT, March 17.-Revision of automobile license regulations so that every applicant will be forced to give a demonstration of ability to handle a car properly in congested traffic will be asked of the State Legislature by Dr. James w. Inches, Detroit police commissioner.
 Such modification of the automo- bile laws would be a proper supple ment for Judge Charles l.. Bartlett s campaign of severity against offend ers," Dr. Inches says. "It would pre- vent many incompetent drivers from getting into trouble at all.
 "At present the issuance of licenses is little more than formality."
 A record of the identity of every driver would be required under the police commissioners plan.

LEADS POLICE TO MERRY
CHASE; THEN DISCHARGED

SOUTH AMBOY, Jan. Civil
liam Wagner, of the Melrose section
of the city, who according TO the
police is subject to seasonal hallucin-
atoms. lead officers O'Leary and
Olesen, the latter of the Sayreville
police department, q merry chase
through the thick woods adjoining
the Melrose and Mechanicsville sec
lions and which kept the pursuers
busy for the greater part Of two
hours, was finally captured by Officer
OLeary in the underbrush at Stew
~ensdale, after considerable maneu
yering.
Wagner, according to the report Of
the police, had a delusion that Frank
Malacewski, of the Melrose section,
was using a gas machine on him.
Yesterday he threatened Malacewski
to exposure unless the latter gave
him $500. AS a last Mala-
cewski notified the Sayreville police
and Officer Oleson "a placed On the
case. On his arrival in the lower
section of ~Sayreville, Oleson found
that it was necessary to use strategy
to get his man. Every effort failed
and Officer O'Leary of the local force
was called upon the scene. The ar
rest followed in the woods of Stew
enSdale.
Wagner after his capture was
taken to the city hall and held for a
time, but the ~Sayreville authorities
notified the desk sergeant that no
charge would be pushed and he was
set at liberty.
From all accounts Wagner at va
rious intervals is possessed with the
fear that someone is using a gas
machine on him. and he cauSeS con-
siderable excitement during these
times. 1t will be remembered that
a brother of Wagner was found dead
in a lonely path leading to his home
from Raritan street in the Mechan-
i~csville section some six years ago.
The theory of the police was that he
a murdered, although the ase re-
mains one of the unsolved crimes of
MiddleSex county.

WOODBRIDGE, Jan. 23.-Like a
cat watches a mouse, SO the officials
of the township OF Woodbridge, and
also the residents r watching the
activities of the Franklin Contract
ing Company, for the first signs of
building, on their property in the
Edgar Hill section OF the township.
That the township will put forth
every effort to keep the company
from erecting their contemplated as
phalt mixing plant in the Edgar Hill
section, has been proven by the fact
that when men appeared on the
property recently and started work
digging a ditch they were called be-
fore Recorder. Ashley, and warned
that they would be arrested as soon
as a move was made to erect a
building or foundation of any kind.
According to Recorder Ashley to-
day, the fact that a ditch is being
dug. does not, under the law, mean
that it IS part of a Building. How
