back He sank his putt for a par s..
This was great work in view of the
fact that his hooked drive might easily
have ended up in his starting out with
an cight-Stroke hole. And that might
have unsettled his whole game.
But this was not all. Throughout
the first round Johnny was having
trouble through the fairway. He was
unusually wild and found himself in
the traps constantly.
But, on no less than of the Is
holes he chipped out of traps and got
down with but one putt.
Some of these puts were fairly long.
but many of them were short.
That's the kind of recovering" that
shows real courage. Johnny finished
the round with a 76. when he was

and he finally captured fourth money.

CHILD WELFARE

The providing of an American home
for the orphan of every man who fell
in the nations service is so obviously
right that it needs no discussion.
These children are plainly entitled to
the same chance in life which they
would have received had their father
not given his life to America. That
is the very minimum. "a home for
every homeless child of veteran" is
the basis of the American Legion's
child welfare program.
The constantly growing casualty
list, as men die by the thousand each
year from wounds and disease incur
red in the World War, accentuates
this need. The accommodating discov-
cry of these children in almshouses,
in unhappy and unfit homes of dis
tant relatives unable or unwilling to
give proper care, in the very streets
and alleys sometimes, has wrung the
heart of the Legion. 1t is determined
that every homeless child of vet
eran shall have a fair and square
chance at life, an honest, happy
American home; proper education.

A GOOD PLATFORM

Candidate Boylan, of Union City,
who is candidate for the mayoralty

He has already measured up to the
bigness of the Office as outlined in
the charter.
Mr.. Boylan has a program-IN
WRITING.
He has a contract with the people
IN WRITING.
The people will tell Mr.. Boylan on
May whether they will close the
contract with him.
If they accept his terms, these are
things he will be FOR:
Drastic economy in municipal spend
ing.
Starting city with sound, business
like methods of financing.
Clearing up muddle of municipal
finance now existing in West Hobo
ken.
More education and less politics in
public school management.
Improved fire department with
equipment that will secure lower in
surance rates.
Clean streets; prompt snow removal
in winter.
More efficient garbage removal
Comprehensive study of plans for
Fairgrounds.
Better transportation and en-
oouragement of rapid transit plans.
Stadium for school boy athletes, to
be financed by private capital and
self-supporting; not to be taxed upon
property owners.
Organization of Chamber of Com
merce through which citizens may
cooperate with municipal government
in civil matters.
These are the things Mr.. Boylan
is unqualifiedly AGAINST:
Wholesale graft in CLOSED" specifi-
cations for street improvements and
other public works.
| Retail graft in selling jobs in police
and fire departments.
Favoritism in assessing property for
taxation.
Politics in management of public
schools.
Gambling houses.

REMOVE THE HANDICAP

The recent appeal addressed to the
by mail to all residents on the matter
of aiding financially the effort to
boost the Palisades contained at least
one missing link. Giving account of
ell of the natural advantages of the
section, it left out most important
thought in not addressing itself with
all it's force to the educational ques-
ton. In Selling" the section to the
homeseeker, communities where poll
tics and personalities affect the
school problem should look after that
particular matter with religious fidel-
ity, freed from all bias, and looking
upon educational advantages as para
more essential than the best educa.
tional equipment and advantages for
the towns of the Hilltop section, it
would be interesting to hear it
named. Surely there was something
lacking in this latest appeal, and il
is not too late to correct it. There
should be new arousing of public
clamor on the educational issue, for
it is the most important thing to
press hard and keep at it. This
whole section is wholly lacking in the
biggest asset it could possess in not
having adequate educational facili
ties. 1t would invite more people
than any other thought. Get the
movement started, and let it be a
community pledging of interests-a
sort of pooling of the big thought
that needs to be put over

RAIN WITHOUT COST

Soaking rains have come to this
section of the state and threat of
early drought has vanished. Natures
hand turned loose the food of water
which freshened grass and trees, sank
rapidly into the cleared farm lands
which were waiting, blotter-like. for
such a downpour.
The world still depends directly
upon Nature for the ebb and flow of
prosperity. Artificial devices have
been substituted to take her place
night becomes day and the law of
gravity is defied. But the heavens
and the mystery of the spaces beyond
remain with us as the irrefutable re-
minders of our own paltry power
when compared with that which form
ed the universe.
There is much religion in rain
which comes to a parched land. Since
the dawn of mankind prayer for i'm
munity from drought and for good
weather in abundance has ranked
high in the list of mans supplications.
Many have been the human sacrifices

tracted sunshine and devastating ty-
phoons.
Today we accept the fortuities of
Nature with little appreciation and
seldom bother to remember that Ma
ture is the only dealer whose goods
are absolutely free. Perhaps we have
come to believe, without realizing it,
that anything which is free is not
worth appreciating. Or perhaps we
are actually under the impression
that man-made miracles are greater
than those of Nature. In any case,
the loss is surely ours if we drop the
age-old vision of Nature, refuse to ad-
init her majestic power and her domi-
mating hold upon the happiness of
mankind

fred Sprague, of Stamford, Conn,

The bride wore a gown of peach
chiffon georgette, with large pic
turesque hat to match. The bridal
bouquet was shower of roses and
lilies of the valley.
Mrs. Frank Alexander was the
brides only attendant. Her gown
was of green georgette. John Sprague
brother of the groom, acted as best
man.
The church altar was decorated
with spring flowers and the music
was furnished by the regular organ
ist and a soloist,
Following the ceremony wedding
dinner was served at the home of the
brides parents. The decorations
were of white streamers and bridal
bells. Only intimate friends and rela-
tives were present. At the conclusion
of the wedding trip the couple will
live at Stamford, Conn.

REGARDING COLDS

With colds more or less prevalent
in all sections during the last few
months, they have commonly been
ascribed to weather conditions. 1t is
pointed out that the sudden changes
in temperature are largely responsible.
Persons dress too thinly or warmly,
or sit in rooms that are chilly or that
perhaps are not sufficiently heated.
This Is all true, and no doubt the
weather conditions and our own heed
lessness increase the number of colds.
But attention is called by the Popu-
lar Science Monthly to the fact that
we are prone to blame the weather
for far too many disorders of the
head or nose or throat. In substantial
tion of this opinion, it is pointed out
that colds have their seasonal out
break throughout the country, that
the warm south suffers along with
the snowy north, that outbreaks occur
at almost the same time in Chicago
and Boston, and New Orleans and
San Francisco. Also, persons in those
climates where much of life is spent
III lu6 Oul-OA-uOOlo dit ahOStOQ oiOh3
with those who must of necessity. on
account of the extreme cold, keep
close in doors during most of the
winter.
Finally, the conclusion Is reached by
Popular Science, and this opinion is
doubtless that of many PHYSICIANS who
have dealt with the stubborn epidemic
of colds, that germs are largely re-
sponsible.
"The common cold is extremely con-
tagious" 1t states. at does not come
from bad weather or wet feet, but
from germs that attack those whose
physical condition makes them sus-
ceptible.
"Most OF US, on the average, suffer
from 81 colds a year.
"Colds make no distinction between
youth and age. But indoor workers
and city dwellers seem more suscepti-
BILE than those who have outdoor occu-
pations or who live in the country
October is the worst time of the
year for colds. Another bad month
is January. June is the month in
which you are least likely to catch
cold"
And while all that is doubtless true,
it yet behooves people to keep out OF
draughts and to dress properly and
to be sure their feet are dry, and to
exercise all reasonable precautions
during the period of variable weather.
But there are those who believe
that immunity from colds is more
