SiIzer Rnard Confirmed

TRENTON, March 14.-New Jer-
sey at last has a highway com mis-
sion. This afternoon at O'Clock
Messrs. Percy H. Stewart, of Plain
field, Abraham Jelin. of New Bruns-
wick, General Hugh l.. Scott, or
Princeton and Walter Kidde, of
Montclair. will gather in Governor
Silzer's executive office and formally
assume their new duties. They viii
take the oath of office and then elect
one of their number. Thus will close
another and the final chapter in the
seven weeks fight to get a set OF
officials to direct New jerseys road
building program involving millions
be dollars variously estimated from
Horty to one hundred million. I'M
mediately after it takes office this
afternoon the new board will begin
functioning and will take over the
direction of the activities of the
road department where the ousted
board left them off on January 22.
All this was made possible because
of the action of the State Senate yes
terday afternoon in confirming the
SilZer nominees in an executive SeS-
sion which was quarters of an
hour in duration. 1t was the COM
bination of eight Republican Sena-
tors and four Democrats that did the
trick. The Republican senators who
voted for all four nominations were:
Senator Republican Leader Stew
ems, Monmouth; former Senate
President Case, of Somerset: Senator
Whitney, of Morris: Roberts, of Bur-
lington; Parry, of Essex; Larson, of
Middlesex; Blackwell, of Mercer, and
Pierson. of Unions.
Democrats-Floor Leader Simp-
son, of Hudson, Barber, of Warren,
Kays, of Somerset, Agans, of Hunt
erdon.
This was the lineup which
brought victory to the banner of
Governor Silzer after seven weeks of
controversy, doubt and maneuvering.
The twelve above mentioned voted
solidly for Scott, Kidde, Stewart and
Jelin on every roll call. When the
name of Scott was reached they
were jcsned by Senate President
Wallworth, of Camden, so that the
general received thirteen votes, one
more than his Highway Board coll
leagues in the confirmation session.
Senators FODDER, of Gloucester,
Richards, of Atlantic, Mackay, of
nBergen, Bright, of Cape May. Mathis,
e Ocean and Richards, Atlantic

taken for each of the Silzer appoin-
tees.

recorded once and that against Stew

Mrs. Richards writes:

"Having been brought up on
farm, where I was accustomed to
butter right from the churn, 1T is
certainly a pleasure to get SO fresh

As Work Rushed
On Courthouse

Upwards of half a hundred men
are busily at work on the construc-
tion of the new county courthouse,
under the supervision Of Jarboe and
Murray, general contractors, and
Don Wells, architect. The forms for
the concrete walls for the first
floor have been pat in place, and
the steel reinforeements have been
set throughout the greater part of
the forms, ready for pouring con.
crete.
Workmen were busy today erect
ing an elevator tower at the south
end of the lot, to be used in raising
concrete and other material as the
building progresses. A power saw
has been placed in position near the
Main street side so that the lumber
necessary for the forms can be cut
i'll desired lengths as rapidly as
needed.
The work is proceeding without
delay, according to the contractors
and rapid progress is being made.
Within the next two weeks the con-
crete for the entire first floor will
be in place and everything indicates
the completion of the actual con
struction work early in 1924.

ACTING OF BIBLE
TO GET IT OVER"

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 25.-Bible
dramatizations in which living,
speaking characters in the ancient
costumes Of Bible times step forth
from the pages OF a mammoth Bible
and tell again some of the, dramatic
stories of the old and new Testa-
ment from the time of Abraham to
King Solomon, is the novel method
hit upon by DR.. r. II. Sawyer, pas
tor of the newly organized Commun-
ity Christian church of this city, as
a means of getting over' some of
the vital truths of the Bible.
"'Living portrayal of Bible truths
is a thing I have dreamed over for
years. said DIR. Sawyer. "'Today,
more than ever before, we need to
be impressed with the fact that
while the Bible features one people,
it makes that people the messengers
of Jehovah, to the people of all ma
tions.' ~

Here's Why We
Just Had to
Go Dry.

1t is edifytng to learn that
the skull and jaws Of a gigan-
tic camel far larger than any
living camel, have been discov-
cred in Nebrs ska. The fact is
vouched for by an expert of
the American Museum of Ma
tural History, under whose aus
pices the il-nunting expedi-
tion has been working.
Here is mute but convincing
evidence that America was dry
millions of years ago. A coun-
try that developed so huge a
camel in it's prehistoric youth
must have been predestined for
drouth from the beginning.
Other discoveries of the ex-
pedition include the tooth of
an extinct species of ape, the
skulls and bones of three-toed
horses and specimens of long
extinct deer.
And all this in Mr.. Bryan's
own state!

NEW YORK, October 25.- Who
are the country S ten greatest busi-
ness women?
Two insurance agents, Il manufac-
turcr of railroad ties, Il maker OF
paints, welder, chemist, a build
er of tug boats, the head of an iron
foundry, an industrial geologist,
and Il manufacturer of shoesa ~
All are comparatively unknown.
Yet, according to- Mrs. Elizabeth
Sears, former editor Of the Inde-
pendent Woman and Il leader for
many years in women s activities,
these are the women who rank with
the Fords, Schw;bs, Rockcfcllers
and Armours of industry!
The list of ten male leaders of
industry selected by c. r. Flint,
"Father of Trusts and published
recently was taken to Mrs. Sears,
now head of the New York League
of Professional and Business Wo-
men, for "sister' ranking.
"It is difficult to limit the list
TO tcn,' she said, "'for there are
iome 1900 women whose success has
put them i'm the front ranks of the
business world.
But foremost of these, | believe,
is Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest of De
troit She probably has done more
for blazing the way of women in
to the business world than any other
person. A wizard at her own work,
insurance, she matches up well with
any of the men in the same calling,
"Closely associated with her is
Miss Georgia Emery, head of the
women s department of the Mutual
Life Insurance Co. Formerly q
school teacher, she was forced into
business by circumstance. And she
made Il 90 of it. Now she is busy
Imperial Valley press., 1923-10-25

helping others DO as much. Any
failure can sell insurance, is her
idea, ard she is putting it over
big. She and Mrs. Forrest both
have made the exclusive 100000
Club, bringing in at least that much
business every year.
Kentucky Girl Third
"'Third place goes to Miss Ann
Baker OF Paducah, Kentucky. She
followed i'll the footsteps of her
dad who manufactured ties, r4ftcr6
and trimmings for steamboats. One
dav there was Il strike. The men
were unable to cope with it. Miss
Baker stepped into the breach, won
the issue, and succeeded %where
others had failed. She is now one
of the active heads of the Lord and
Aver Tie Co.
"Another woman who won sue
cess in the business world by pro
viding that her word was rs good
as her bond is Miss Mary Ryan of
Brooklyn With Il capital of $500
exceeded 100000. She is now pres
ident of the RYAN Paint and Sup
ply Co., and is believed to have
bdeD the inspiration Of the play
called The Ginging Vine which
had for its heroine a young woman
running Il paint establishment.
"None of these women are letter
head women. They are women VINO
do not seek the spotlight, and their
names are l;ttle known outside

Some of them share their sue
