faced. mortified.
 "The Multane! Oh. are you sure" . He looked up quickly, dismayed.
 "I say, do you know anybody on it: I'm awfully sorry. Look for yourself"
 He put the paper into her nerve less hands, but she could not road everything seemed to dance before her eyes.
 "Read it 10 me."
 He obeyed in a troubled voice. One or two passengers near them were listening with interest: Mary's white face and startled exclamation had ar- Tested their attention.
 The young man broke off suddenly.
 Shall we get ont and walk" he suggested. lIc thought Mary was going to faint,
 She obeyed with pathetic eager ness and haste: she could not bear the gaze of those curious eyes about Ter.
 When they were on the path, the young man drew her hand through i his arm. He had rammed the paper into an overc5at pockeet. "I ought not to have told you in such a clumsy way" he began. Not that I had any idea you would know anybody on the boat" "Of course not" Mary stood for a moment. her hands over her eyes. then she moted. I'm all right niw--let us go on." He walled beside her soberly; he lad noticed that she wore mourning. and wondered if this strange coinei- , dcnce had brought about a second tragedy in her life. So many dread i ful things were happening every day now; so many women were black clothes and went about with hope ] less grief-stricken faces. 1 Presently 1 "I should like to sce the paper now. please" she told him. ] They were beneath a street lamp. The miserable. drizzling rain was pouring down on them--it dripped from the brim Of Mary's hat.
 The young man unfoIded the paper. and showed her the small stop-press paragraph.
 "lt is the Mrliane, you see" he said gravely. 1 "Yes."
 1 She answered him dazedly. Dolly had sailed on the Multane--Dolly and the man she had married so soon after her widowhood.
 "It is feared that very few. if any. Of the Multane's passengers are saved. as she sank in a few minutes" ! The words danced mockinsly be- fore her. Oh, Poor Dolly! Poor Dolly!
 { The young man beside her spoke kindly. sympathetically. Don't be too sure. There may be 1ot of people picked mp that they know nothing about yet. Let me take you home; you're wet through and cold. YouTi feet ever so much better when you're warm and dry"
 She told him the number of ths flat and offered no demur when ht accompanied her to the door.
 She was lonely and miserable. and frightened. She wanted frient badly. and this young fellow, was gentleman. and sympathetic.
 "If you like. viH go down to th' ships office and make inquiries" h' said dfnTdently. ''T1ey pr0Jsbl, have other news by TOW. IT yor will ten me the name Of you friend 2"

kctchikan. Alaska, April 2b.-- Veterans from tho Yukon territory who mushed into the Ketchikan dis trict recently were optimistic about inc importation of 24 buffalocs from Wainwright Park.

RE NjDSHlP

No one thought in life is more in
the minds of humanity than friend
ship. By some it is understood, by
others appreciated but not lived, and
by others valued as the highest feel
ing of the human heart. In it's ideal
form it is all of this, and no sentiment
is more ennobling when honestly be-
slowed. There are varying kinds OF
friendship. One may be neighbor
and be friendly but not friend. An
other may be a silent, admiring
friend, standing ready to help or de-
fend in emergency-a very loyal kind
of friendship.
There are those who love to boast
that certain people are their
friends" when as a matter OF fact
they scarcely know the person alluded
to. Men often allude to prominent
men as their close friends when they
scarcely know each other These
false claimants are just humbugs.
George Ebers, the Psychologist, and
the author of many beautiful Egyp-
tian romances, in his Homo Sum"
said this of friendship:
THAT friendship only is indeed
genuine where two friends, without
saying word to each other, can new
ertheless find happiness in being to-
gether." This is the sort of mutual
understanding, leaning that is the
very germ of affectionate friendship
call it platonic if one likes. Yet it
exists, and such friends become very
necessary to each other. They can
commune in silence and appreciate
the meaning of being just there with
each other. And this can be between
two men or two women. True friend
ship is rare because it is so everlast-
ing hard to accurately understand.
But when it is not sensitive; when 1t
will forbear; when it is trusting;
when it will sacrifice-then it is true.

THE PRICELESS BLESSING

How often Fate turks in the
shadows, waiting to strike the NOR
tai blow, just as the fairest future
seems unfolding.
So it has been with President and

Starting modestly in a Massachusetts

toward supreme success.
All along the way, accident and cir
cumstance have seemed to cooperate
to advance the fortunes of the North.
ampton lawyer, and in the dissensions
a. Madison Square Garden many
thought, they saw the temperance
OF the Presidents never-failing star.
Then out of a clear sky fell the
calamity which turned fame to empty
noise and made the Presidency itself
seem worthless.
For doubtless that father and
mother in the White House would cast
all glory into the Potomac, if only they
could go back to Massachusetts,
back to the old life-and have their
boy again!
Honor, as the world esteems it, is
so little and everyday good fortune
so priceless-the everyday good for
tune cleaning in the faces of those
you love!
That's all that ounts!-Frederick

WHEN TAXES ARE HIGH

Hackensack is scheduled to elect a
Mayor this fall and the time would
seem to be opportune to institute
some inquiries looking toward econ
omy in the local government, with a
view to reducing the tax rate to, OF
near to the average of that of the
state, which was $3.50 per $100 OF
valuations this year.
Every business needs overhauling
periodically to eliminate waste and a
municipal enterprise does not differ
from the rule. No better time for
this can be found than when a new
Mayor is about to be chosen.
Among the subjects that have beer
suggested for inquiry are these;
How much is it costing Hackensacb
annually for legal expenses under the
fee system?
How much is it costing Hackensack
annually for engineering and survey
ing under the fee system?
How much money is being wasted
in supporting newspapers which have
no readers or very few readers?
Public money, we know has been
criminaIy wasted in public advertis'
ina and the fact arouses the suspicion
that there has been waste, though
perhaps not criminal in other depart
ments. Some questions on these sub
jects were asked last year by Freder'
ick U. Killers but they were not cor
rectly answered.
An inquiry by the overtaxed Main
street merchants, the Rotary Club and
some other public spirited organiza
tions could do no harm.-H Hackensack
Record.
The Record should come over to
Eastern Bergen county if it wants to
investigate money-spending without
answers. On the Palisade avenue

EINSTEIN DOUBTS, HIMSELF
DOUBTED

The last person to express disbelief
in the efficacy of the so-called death
ray" Is Prof. Albert Einstein, whose
theory of relativity has puzzled a
hard-pressed world The noted scien-
tist asserts that the claims of the in
ventor of the new ray are absurd.
Summed up, the opinion of the great
relativist is that the inventor is
bluffing.
The skepticism of Professor Elm
stein doubtless is discouraging. For
years the world has been cudgeling
theory of relativity. Mathematicians
and physicists have examined the
theory in all it's bearings, both the
oretically and experimentally, with
out decisive result. Only a few have
expressed the opinion that the theory
was all bosh and they did not enjoy
the highest standing in the world of
science. The attitude of the public
has been to step softly and to with
hold judgment
Now that Professor Einstein ex-
presses himself so freely concerning
the works of a brother scientist, we
may expect to hear retort concern
ing his own pet theory. After ALL we

HABIT CLINICS FOR
CHILDREN A SUCCESS
Department Of Labor Reports Favora-
BILE Results in Treatment of
Abnormal Cases.

Washington. Habit clinics" for
young children, the latest development
In the child hygiene field, are described
in a report just issued by the chill
dren's bureau Of the Department Of
Labor.
The habit clinic treats children dis
playing temper tantrums or other bad
habits as patients" and diagnoses and
treats the bad habit on a scientific
basis. BY eliminating the cause Of the
bad habit the clinic helps the child to
make normal adjustment to his sur
roundings and develop into a we'll
rounded personality
DR.. D. A. Thorn, Boston, director of
the habit clinics of the Community
Health association of that city, is the
author of the report issued by the
children's bureau. He states that the
first habit clinic, organized in 1921, was
so successful there now are eight
clinics, three under the association and
five under the division of mental n.y.
giene of the Massachusetts department
Of mental diseases. Doctor Thorn also
is director of this division.
Habits most frequently treated by
the clinics relate to feeding problems,
temper tantrums, pugnacity and shy
ness, problems relating to sex life,
enuresis, destructiveness, delinquency
and acute personality changes.
Children who just won't eat" the
wholesome food they need; children
who respond to every attempt at dis
cipline with a screaming, kicking at
tack Of temper; children who are
either too shy or too "bossy" to mingle
happily with schoolmates and play
mates, or even brothers and sisters
children who, without apparent reason,
begin to lie or steal, and many others,
come or are brought to the clinics to
get their difficulties Strengthened out.
Prior to Doctor Thom's report this
year, 100 cases were. registered at the
clinics, 13O Of which were studied
thoroughly. In only 10 cases, Doctor
Thorn reports, were results discourag-
ing and no evidence of improvement
shown. OF these discouraging cases,
12 came from families which gave no
cooperation. Only seven children
whose families co-operated failed to
improve.

Mr.. DAVIS ON FUNDAMENTAL
TRUTHS

Reports from the State of Maine
where John w. Davis has gone for the
purpose of preparing his speech of
acceptance indicate in modest Way
that he will have something to say.
For instance, a New York Tribune re-
porter ON Monday last had the follow
ing regarding the forthcoming speech
Mr.. Davis wants to condense his
acceptance speech to four thousand
words, if possible. He will refer to
the remedies which the various politi-
cal parties offer for the ills of the
time and add some remedies of his
own for good measure to the nostrums
proposed by his own party. Mr. Davis
will speak from the shoulder on funda-
mental things. He has his own text
before him constantly as he thinks
over what he is going to say. That
text is this:
PROBLEMS CHANGE AND POLL
CIES CHANGE FROM YEAR TO
YEAR AND FROM AGE TO AGE,

TRUTHS OF EQUALITY OF RIGHT,
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY IN

II Mr.. Davies succeeds in condens-
ing what he has to say in 1000 words
as limited, he will have to rise to great
heights indeed to surpass the "funda-
mental truths" contained in the above.
AT any rate, the country is interested
in this important document-more so,
perhaps, than at any time since 1912.
1t is far too early to predicate an
opinion as to who may be elected.
1t is a guess at present.

ton of expert rifieman," the highest
grade awarded for craftsmanship, was
given to A and the other two won
the rank OF "sharpshooter," the next
highest grade
The automatic rifle, a light, air
cooled machine gun, is carried and
fred like an ordinary rifle and re-

BETTER CHANCES FOR BABY
NOW

The older generation is bit be-
wildered as it watches some of the
new-fangled scientific ways of rearing
babies. We quote a white haired
grandma:
Land sakes! If these modern baby
doctors are right, it's wonder to me
that all the infants didn't die in the
cradle back yonder when l was young.
Everything has to be sterilized-
spoons, can openers, nipples for nurs-
ing bottles, cooking utensils, rattles.
We never thought Of boiling things
baby used long ago.
my children drank water right out
of the spring. Now it has to be boiled.
Cows milk isn't good enough-has to
be pasteuriZed.
Baby is isolated. Room of his own.
No one allowed near him except
mother. We used to cuddle them
right into bed with us. And everyone
who came to the house kissed and
fondled them"
The answer to this is that much
higher percentage of babies died in
the old days than now. You frequent
ly read about some scientist boasting
that the average duration of human
life is longer by years than it used to
be. This doesn't mean that people
who reach maturity live much longer.
1t means that fewer children die in
babyhood and early youth. This
brings the average up.
For this. thank science and it's new
tangled ways especially steriliza-
ton.
Another thing: Babies have to have
greater care now because there are
there used to be. More reasons, that
is, for being careful. More germs
particularly common colds, so dan
gerous to infants.
Our generation is living unnatural
lives, compared with grandma's gen.
Grafton. Physically we are weaker,
and this shows in the inheritance.
The health environment into which a
modern baby is born is decidedly in
ferior to that back yonder. Water,
food and even the air are more pol
luted. Each year, fewer mothers can
nurse their young. That's result
of living unnatural lives.
Young mother, obey the doctors in
structions unless you want to endan-
ger your child's life. Don't let the
old-timers stir you from your deter
mination to give baby the best pro-
lection available by modern science
The health of womanhood and man
hood is largely determined in the
cradle.

tion of public sentiment was against
the idea, so their sessions are now
open. Just how the Improvement
Association gets by in politics is to
induce as many as possible to cling to
the central thought of holding Pali-
sade's vote as nearly to a unit as pos
sible so that it may dictate borough
policies. But what good has it ever
done? To be balance of power is
a cheap bid for fame if nothing is
brought about by it. Are our taxes
any lower? Why not concentrate on
something really worth while? The
cry of the whole country is high

The Birthday of
The Great War
BY REV. ALLAN HUNTER
Written for The Palisadian

Ten years from tomorrow the Great
killed; 100000, 100000 worth of prop
erty destroyed This we all know like
formula.
But the 2O,000,000 were sons and
husbands and fathers. The money
could have given new hope to the
100000 900 children still beyond the
reach of Christian education.
Ten years ago pistol shot and the
nations scared out of their wits, whip
out their guns and proceed to shoot
in all directions. Fear, suspicion, the
secret passion of revenge-these are
the subconscious moods that disinte-
grated Europe.
But they were caused by system,
system based on intrigue behind
closed doors, imperialistic grabbing
for the control of raw materials and
markets and national self-conceit.s
This is time to take stock on the
whole business of war. In so far as
we are SNUG about it we are war pro-
ducers. Blind drifting will never get
us away from the most colossal curse
of our age. But the awakening and
mobilizing of the public conscience of
the world can. Through it's pressure
law, in the place of violence, can pre-
vail.
Right now fatalism is our greatest
enemy. The fatalism that shrugs: 90,
you can't abolish war. Men have al
ways fought and they always will"
The same kind of argument was used
about slavery and duelling.
Yes, the fighting instinct will re-
main, thank God! But it will express
itself increasingly in the throwing of
ourselves into the enterprise of attack
ing disease, child labor or even the
enemy, War, itself. The original ma
ture of man and the present social or
ganization are not such as to involve
insurmountable obstacles to peace, to
a social order where indiscriminate
mass murder will be ancient history.
Mankind is teachable.
