TRUTH in IRIfLES

Be sure you're wrong; then back up.
Despair is the conclusion of fools.
Man proposes--or the girl gets left.
The cup of JOY Is heaviest when
empty.-Marguerite de Valois.
Make haste to live and consider each
day new life.
True repentance Is to cease from
sin.-St. Ambrose.
There is no true happiness outside
of love and self-sacrifice.
Philosophy is Just a discreet de-
cision to let the wife run things.
In the old days widowhood was a
misfortune and not an achievement.
Fear of old age comes only to those
who have not learned how to live.
If man keeps his mouth shut he
seldom acquires reputation as a liar.
The man who persists in doing 9TH
ers often terminates his career by do
ing time.
The chronic bore would make
plendid population for some deserted

+ d. T o r ! A L S
is THIS THE SECRET OF
LAMBERTVILLE STAGNATION?

Under the head, "Ink From Other
Presses, in an adjoining column,
is reprinted an editorial from The
Industrial News Bureau, entitled,
"Tax- Exempt Bond Communities
Dead" Those who know the fnan-
cial condition of Lambertville could
truthfully say that this article was
written with this city expressly in
view.
Lambertville is bonded right up
to the muzzle. And because munich
pal bonds are exempt from taxes,
people with money to invest will
naturally buy such bonds in prefer
ence to industrial bonds. But indus
trial bonds provide capital for bus
mess development, giving employ
ment to men and women, bringing
money to the town and helping
bear the burden Of taxes.
It is intimated that Lambertville
taxes for this year will be increased.
They are already $4,02 per 800,
which is about twice the amount
charged in Trenton. 1t is true that
assessments may be said to be low,
but if new industries were encourag-
ed to come to the city, and if peo-
pie would invest their savings in
them, the distribution of taxes
would Tighten the burden for ev-
eryone.
There hasn't been a new industry
started in Lambertville in twelve
years. And when the New Hope
Brick Co. started to build their
plant they could sell very little of
their stocks and bonds in the COM
munity.
On the other hand, other cities
vie with each other in efforts to
encourage new industries. Each week
the Industrial News Bureau circu-
lates bulletins listing towns seek
ing new industries. They advertise
their towns, and show community
cooperation which is sadly lacking
in Lambertville.
As somebody has aptly said,
What Lambertville really needs is
few first-class funerals. Then per-
haps progressive citizens might get
together"

TRUER THAN WE THOUGHT
To the Editor

To the Editor
In your column last week you
referred to the "Polar Bear Club"
members taking dips in the icy
ocean. You say: "But we often Won
der if they stay in only long enough
for the newspaper photographers to
take pictures of them"
Your comment is truer than you
may think. A year ago, when l was
pictorial editor of the Philadelphia
Evening Public Ledger, arranged
with group of mermaids and mer-
men of the Hygeia Pool, Atlantic
City, to frolic on the sand and even
in the surf for the exclusive bene-
fit of staff photographer whom l
sent to the shore for the purpose.
The weather was bitterly cold,
but the bathers were game. A hand
full rushed out on to the beach,
clad only in bathing suits, did a few
stunts for the Ledger cameraman
and even went into the ocean, then
hastily retired to dress.
That was on Sunday. The
following evening l came out with
an eight-column spread on the pic
torial page, and I understand it
made a hit with everyone except
the managing editor, who told me
that such exposure was Indecent"
Very truly yours,

TAX EXEMPT BOND
COMMUNITIES DEAD

A dollar spent in building up a
local industry factory, a special
lied crop, big utility-pays more
than dollar invested in a tax
lodging public security. The indus
trial investment pays its interest,
it builds up local payrolls and gen
era prosperity, and it makes your
dollar express your community CON
fidence and pride. Too many com
munities register only as at" be-
cause the people do not build
personality and faith into their
own outstanding industries.

Plan for Improving
Artillery Fire Found

Honolulu.->-E "A scheme for
taking ballistic wind, to be used in
correcting the ranges Of guns in night
firing, has been devised by Major
John H. Hood of the 18th Coast Ar
tillery at Fort Kamehameha here, and
is announced to have passed success
full tests in improving the accuracy
and precision of fire.
Portable searchlights, capable Of
revolving both vertically and hori-
zontally, were trained on pilot as
cension balloon 26 inches in diameter
as it rose. The speed and direction
were computed, as is done at the me-
neurological station during the day.
This is said to have been the first
time the idea of tracking a small bal
loon at night had been tried.
The experiment was carried out
successfully by the operator of the
light the first time and without field
glasses. Atmospheric conditions were
adverse, with low clouds and a heavy
wind velocity; nevertheless the bal
loon was tracked for 1900 yards. Mill
tary experts said that with better
equipment it could be tracked as high
as 5000 yards,

Business Men Urge
Building Good Homes

Business men and trade crganiza-
tions, not directly allied with the
building industries, are now taking
active steps to educate the public to
own and properly furnish their
homes, as they realize that a de-
mand for better homes means not
only prosperity for the builder, but
also added business in many retail
lines.
The advantages of this far seeing
policy are many. In the first place
the householder becomes a perma-
nent factor in the growth of the city.
He. is actuated to greater industry
and wise economy. His trade, also
belongs to the community in which
he resides. He is an asset to every
retailer, and patron to be culti-
waited. A nation of home owners
would be nation of stable, conser-
vative citizens.
One of the chief considerations in
thus promoting the cause of home
ownership is to discourage unwise
extravaganza on the part of the
owner and systematic his outlay for
maintenance and upkeep so that
his debts do not become burdensome.

Homes Built for
Setting Are Scarce

It is seldom that we find street
where the homes, collectively, form
a really artistic architectural plan.
Individual examples of artistic beau
ty are everywhere evident, but an
entire block of homes built and
planned for their particular setting
and in relation to the other homes
is hard to find.
Many builders follow given line
Of sameness in the exterior plan of
their buildings, leaving the artistic
touch to the individual landscaping
of each particular location. 1t works
out in some instances, but not to a
degree which could be termed sue
cess.
Some day a building organization
will purchase a tract of land and de-
velop the entire property in accord
ance with the proper placing +
homes in relation to the lot and the
surrounding structures, and when
this is done it will present such a
real departure from modern subdi-
vision development and will meet
with such a ready response from
the buying public that it will be
followed by many other organiza-
tions as good business procedure.

MADISON BUSY
WITH POLITICS
Governors Return Brings
Increased Activity in
Political Circles.
MORE ABOUT ELECTION


Madison, Wis ~ Increased po-
litical activity here was in prospect
today with the return of Governor
Blaine from his trip to the northern
part OF the state. The executive re-
turned 70 his Office yesterday, and had
a conference with Robert M. La Fol-
lette, Jr., progressive candidate for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator, in the afternoon,
The call of the special election to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator LA Toilette has been gener-
ally expected to come shortly after
the governors return. Attorney Gem
eral Herman L. Ekern today made
public summary of the laws gov
erning the election.
The primary election must be held
two weeks prior to the special cleo
ton and nomination papers must be
filed at least eighteen days prior to
the primary, the summary said. The
required number of signatures on the
nomination petitions, it stated, must be
Slit for the Republicans, 6s1 for the
Democrats, and 800 FOR the Socialists,
based on the votes for presidential
electors in the last election in which
the parties had candidates.
Zimmerman Raises Question.
Secretary of State Fred r. thinner
man said he had found a provision in
the election laws which would prevent
any candidate defeated in the primary
elections from entering the special
election as an independent candidate
This provision, he said, requires indie
pendent candidates to file their NOM
nation papers for a place on the
special election ballot not more than
forty days and not less than thirty
days before the election, Thus, he
pointed out, with only two weeks be-
tween the primary and election, the
defeated candidates would not have
time to file as independents.
Such situation would make it i'm
possible for the regular Republicans
to have the name of any candidate
placed on the special election ballot
other than the man nominated in the
primary, Mr.. Zimmerman said.
Could Organize Party.
The secretary of state expressed an
opinion that a candidate could file
nomination papers as a La Toilette
Wheeler progressive and gain place
as such on the primary and election
ballots, The papers would have to
be filed within the eight day period
which will come between the issuance
of the ~call and the date when the
papers must be in the secretary of
states hands, he said, The petitions
would receive 4,537 signatures, based
on the vote of 453,678 received by
Senator La Toilette in Wisconsin for
president in the last election.
1t was said unoficially at the at
torney generals department several
weeks ago that the establishment of
new party organization would be
necessary to obtain place on the
primary ballot under designation
as progressives.
