Col. Collier, formerly director
general of the ui-Centennial
viewed the Exposition and was
distinctly pleased with its arrange
ment. The exhibits are particu-
larly pleasing, the state having
prepared over $4,000 worth,
showing the work of every de-
partment. The Fish and Game
Commission is maintaining a live
exhibit of the species of fish and
wild game which abound in Jer-
sey. A very interesting exhibit
of forestry has also been arrang-
ed on the grounds.
Commercial displays of nearly
every article manufactured are
found in the Exhibition Hall.
These are both interesting and
instructive and represent many
thousands of dollars worth of eff
fort on the part of exhibitors.
On July 26, mayors from 26
other cities named Camden in the
United States will visit the EX-
position and very fine program
has been prepared. Each mayor
will bring with him a tree which
will be planted on a thorofare af-
forwards to be known as the Ave-
nue. of Camdens.

PENALTIES TO BE
HEAVIER FOR GRIMES
IN NEW JERSEY
Courts Power to Impose Maxi
mum and Minimum Terms
Nu,Iified

Nuilified.
Crimes committed hereafter in
New Jersey will carry sitter pen
alties than has been the rule for
several years. Effective this week
the repeater enacted by the last
Legislature takes away from the
courts the power to impose maxi,
mum and minimum sentences, and
the chance for parole prior to
serving the straight sentence CIV
en- hereafter will be slight.
The repeater also nullified the
supplement to the criminal laws
that allowed life-termer to re-
gain his liberty under certain con-
ditions within fifteen years. There
is no such minimum now to life
sentence.
Crimes committed before this
week will not come under the new
law, and all criminals now await
ing sentence or trial may benefit
by the maximum and minimum
privileges as heretofore. This
feature of the law will continue
the imposing of such sentences in
Atlantic County for some time to
come owing to the fact that near
~ 500 indictments on the books
are still awaiting trial.

THE MOSQUITO GOES NORTH

(From the Philadelphia Record)
President Coolidge is not the
first person to make the discov-
cry that, as compared with the
much maligned New Jersey mos
quito, the insect that infests the
northern woods is a raging lion.
So great are his numbers and so
painful his bite that the only way
to avoid him is to keep behind
the wire screens with which the
summer White House is well
supplied, as Mr. Coolidge is do
ing. 1t is one of the curiosities
of nature that the mosquito in
creases in size and ferocity as
one progresses northward. In the
Panama Canal zone it is rather
an insignificant pest, though it
has to be guarded against as
possible source of contagious dis
ease. When, however, one reach
es the Adirondacks, and then up
through Canada clear to the Arc
tic Circle, the mosquito in sum-
mer becomes a serious affection
to man and beast. Some eXplor
ers, indeed, have contended that
unless some way can be discov-
cred of getting rid of this menace
it will make settlement of the
Far North almost impossible.

Dangerous Section
Of Army Flight is
Along Coast Of s. A.

San Antonio, Dec. 16.-LFD-De-
spite the fact that the Army's Pan
American flight, which is planned
to 60 under way here December 20,
will cross mountain chains four times
in its circuit Of the nations south Of
the Rio Grande, the most dangerous
section of the flight is tho long
stretch Of the western coast of South
America where the mountains drop
precipitously into the sen.
On this section Of the trip the
flyers expect to meet the most
troublesome winds of tn whole Jour-
ney and the danger Of forced land
ing is great. The continental shelf
drops abruptly into the sea and the
coast In many places is devoid Of
any level spots that might offer q
landing. Because Of the winds and
the steep shores the breakers are
apt to be high and the surf heavy.
Should any Of the flying boats be
forced down under such conditions
the flyers would be in grave danger.
The high breakers are apt to wet
the spark plugs, or other portiona
OF the igniti0n system, cutting Oh sme
engine and leaving the ship without
any means of holding her COURSE. In
such case the plane might be cap
sized. broken up on the rocks. Or
swept far out to sea before help
could arrive.
The mountains will offer little. dit.
ticulty in the opinion Of the flyers.

be able to avoid the peaks and the
same is true of the two trims across

return. The Andes will be crossed

Peril in Lake
What adds to the interest Of the

history of Lake De Smet. The lake

1t is honeycombed with weeds,
which makes boating pcrilous and
renders swimming impossible. 1t is
very deep-how deep no one knows.
A small fish hatchery has been es-

but even the state employees who run
the hatchery never venture far on
the lake, and then only in motor
boats.
