cations in New York, Philadelphia
and Trenton are sending groups of
children to the country for Fresh
Air Vacations" They could find no
better location than this section of
the Delaware Valley. But they are
not being told of it.
Recently delegation from the
Trenton Boy Scout organization Wis

buy a farm located conveniently for
swimming facilities and providing a
field for athletics. This is a strong
organization, and their location Of

HARDING HIGHWAY TO BE
HIGHEST IN AMERICA
Colorado Road to Rise 1920 Feet
Above Sea Level.

At Golden, Colorado, twelve miles
west of Denver, the Harding Me-
mortal Highway, joint effort of city
,ounty,s State, and Federal Govern
ment, begins.
The first section, which includes
the famous "Lariat Trail over Mt.
Lookout, was built by the city and
county of Denver in the development
IF the Denver mountain parks. The
second section, extending from Ber-
rem Park to Squaw Pass, was con-
structed by the United State For
estry Service.
At Squaw Pass, four miles below
Echo Lake, the State of Colorado
took over the work. Though the road
will reach the summit of Mt. Evans
this season, at least three more
years will be required for its com
pletion, as it is to be joined to
the system of highways on the oppo-
site side of the mountain.
The Harding Highway. in addi-
ion to its scenic beauty, will be the
highest automobile road in America,
f not the world. The price has fiuc-
uated from thirty to ten thousand
dollars mile, according to diff
,ulties encountered.

DID YOU EVER HEAR THIS?

Comrade C w. Steinhilber of Royal
Oak, Michigan, formerly with the
354th Infantry, 89th Division, says
his outfit enjoyed this Engineer song
so well that they adopted 1.-THE
tune, obviously, is that of "a Son
of a Gambolier":
Come all you gallant soldiers and
the story you shall hear
OF the trials and tribulations of
any Army Engineer,
Like every honest soldier, he took
his whiskey clear,
Till General Scott said, you shall
not touch whiskey, wine nor beer

up into the right stratum of atmos-
phere you breath it in. You may not
know that you have breathed il in
until come along and write IT out
on this blank sheet, and then you
read it and say, "Yes-your handl
that is surely so; | knew it all
alongi"
And so then if | tell you thing
you already know, | confer on you
the great blessing of introducing you
to yourself and of giving you the
consciousness that you know.
Let's see-what was it, then, that
we were talking about? Oh yes!
collectors and collecting.
Men collect things because these
things stir imagination and link
them with the people who once pos
sessed and used these things. Thus,
through imagination, is the dead
past made again to live and throb
and pulse with life. Man is not
the lonely creature that those folks
with bad digestions sometimes try to
have us believe.
We are brothers not only to all
who live, but to all who have gone
before.
And so we collect the trifles that
once were valuables for other men,
and by the possession of these
trifles are we bounden to them.
These things stimulate imagination,
stir the sympathies, and help us for
get the cramping bounds of time and
space that so often hedge us close
around.
The people near us may be sordid,
stupid, mean; or more likely thew
are weary and worn with the bat
tie for mere food, shelter and raj
ment; or they are depressed by
that underlined brooding fear which
civilization exacts as payment for
benefits forgot-so their better sell
yes are subdued.
But through faney's fight we
can pick our companions out of the
company of saints and sinners who
have long turned to dust. / have
the bookplates of Holbein and Ho-
garth, and | have book once owned
by Rembrandt, and so | do not say
Holbein and Hogarth and Rem
brandt were-I say they are.
And thus the collector confuses
the glorious dead and the living in
one fairy company; and although
he may detect varying degrees of
excellence for none does ne hold
contempt Of none IS he Jealous, none
does he envy. Fran them he asks
nothing. upon him they make no
demands. In the collectors cast of
mind there is something very child
like and ingenious.
My little girl has a small box of
bright bits Of silk thread that she
boards very closely; they she pos
sesses certain pieces of calico, nails,
eurtain-rings. buttons, spoons and
fragments Of china-all of which
are very dear to her heart. And
why should they not be? For with
them she creates a fairy world,
wherein are only joy, and peace,
and harmony, and light-quite an
improvement on thisl Yes, dearie,
quite.

Why should jury be required to
be unanimous? Only recently, an
English Judge, after agreement in
advance, accepted an IL to verdict.
The Supreme Court of the United
States frequently disagrees, and pre-
sent majority and minority opinions.
They are the highest legal talent
in the country, yet every one con-
cedes that they have a right to
differ.
Yet here in our County Courts,
II men of various races, ereeds and
ages are compelled to either return
disagreement or bring in un-
animons verdict.
II they have not brought the
recaleitrant jurors into line by 9
or 10 p. NJ, they are locked up for
the night in draughty courtroom
to report to the Judge at 1000 A.
NJ. the following day.
We will take the liberty out Of
our already sufficient experience to
offer you some free bits Of advice.
They are both from the Sermon on
the Mount" and are just as true as
when they were uttered 1000 years
ago.
agree with thine adversary
quickly, while thou art in the way
with him: lest at any time the ad-
versary deliver thee to the Judge,
and the Judge deliver thee to the
officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, till thou hast paid the ut
termost farthing."
And if any man win sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat,
let him have thy cloak also"

VIZ f are enioying(?) a new ex-
w perience. We were drawr On
the May panel of the Petit
Jury.
We have already revised some of
our opinions about Judges and
Juries and the other impedimerta
of courts. One bit of positive know
ledge is ours, we know what law
yers not to get if we ever need legal
help.
1t is doubtful whether or not we
ever criticize anyone connected with
courts, nor ever jurors.
We even have sympathy with the
"pariahs" and "untouchablesn of
India, as we have been the stub
born juror who caused jury TO
stay out until 600 P. NJ.
When dinner was ordered, after
seven hours elaboration. the fore
man ordered II dinners and bale
of hay.
Yes, we blush to admit it, the
bale of hay was for us.
What we can't understand is that
IL intelligent men can't see things
our way.
As Kipling said:
"And it isn't the shame and ii
isn't the blame
That stings like white-hot brand.
It's coming to know that she never
knew why
tSeeing at last she could never
know whyl
And never could understand"
This naturally leads on to another
thought, why should not two-thirds
majority Of the votes count.

AFTER STATE POWER

Having failed in successful oper-
alton of city lighting plants, the
politician is now offering to take
charge of state superpower plants
and wholesale electricity to cities
and to farmers.
Statistics show that more than
700 cities and towns in the United
States have in recent years abandon.
ed municipality owned electric plants,
and others have given up gas and
other utilities.
Only a very small per cent of ogr
entire population today is served by
municipal light and power plants.
All political management is known
to cost more than business under
stress of private enterprise and
private initiative and competition.
The people are learning that politics
is less efficient in getting a dollars
worth of anything for a dollar.-The
Manufacturer.
CAUSE OF CAFE" DELAY
The tired Saturday night patron
at the Elite lunch room in Hicks
burg had made up his mind to get
some action.
Where's that coffee | ordered ?"
he Numbered to the waiter.
9TH be here in just minute
now" replied the waiter. "You see,
it takes little longer to make
it on Saturday nights"
"Why is that ?"
Well, we put in fresh grounds
on Sundays, an long toward Sat
urday they get kind of weak. -

HARMONY AND COOPERATION

A proposal has been made that the
Lambertville Band cooperate with
the Fire Patrol in securing its am
bulance@. Due to the rowdyism for
merly experienced during free con-
certs on City Square, the members
of the band have been reluctant to
start them up again.
But if the Fire Patrol would turn
out in uniform and maintain order,
the band, it is understood, would be
willing to contribute their services.
Also the band could supply music
for the Fire Patrol If parade is
held when their ambulance is re-
ceived.
This is the sort of cooperation
that makes for city progress. 1t
would develop harmony not only in
the music of the band, but in the re-
lationships of the organizations.

Chorus:

He's helluva, helluva, helluva, hell
uvan Army Engineer
A rambling skate from any old
State and nothing does he fear.
He tried to do his duty and he tried
to do it we'll
But the captain and the sergeant
and the corporal gave him hell
They took him on the parade ground
to march, to rush, to crawl,
The first was bad, the next was
worse, the last was worst of all.
He bruised his belly on tack. he
tore it on nail,
He'd have made a damned good
lizard if he'd only had tail.
They took him to the rifle range to
learn to fire at will,
The aiming and the trigger
squeeze, the enemy to kill,
His rifle kicked him in the jaw-he
missed the bull mile,
For the chow shack is the only
place that he shows any style.
The doctor looked him over and the
doctor grinned with glee,
"A shot in the arm will do no
harm, bring on my large
squeegee,"
With fifty million typhoid bugs pa
trolling through his blood,
They shot in fifty million more
and then his name was mud.
