Although opposed strenuously
the Senate concurrent resolution
introduced by Senator Pierson,
Union, authorizing the State High
way Commission to make an eX-
haustive survey of the highway
problems in the State has been
adopted by the Senate, there is
much opposition to it in South
Jersey. Her representatives open
ed vigorous fire on the plan and
particularly upon the policies of
the Highway Commission, which
was charged with ignoring the in
terests of individual counties in a
number of important matters and
with having created conditions
that are highly undesirable.
Senator Richards, Atlantic, con-
sidered it unwise to vest addi-
tional powers in the commission,
declaring that the board has been
instrumental in placing half
dozen unnecessary hairpin turns
in the White Horse Pike, the prin-
cipal artery of traffic leading to
Atlantic City One of these, he
said, is at Hammonton, where it
would have been easier to use the
straight road while in the con-
struction of the highway to Mays
Landing, he said, there is the sus-
picion that a route was chosen
with a view to benefiting certain
real estate interests.
Plans for the further develop
ment of the old highway system,
Senator Bright, Cape May, insist
ed, are inopportune because the
system costing $40,000,000 has not
yet been completed. Adoption of
the proposed legislation, he said,
will mean that all of the legisla-
ton on roads which has been
placed on the statutes, after eff
forts covering several years, will
be cast into the discard. He in
sisted that the Legislature should
not relinquish any of it's powers
governing the selection of pri
mary highway routes.
The Pierson resolution provides
that the commission upon the
completion of it's survey shall sug-
gest to the Legislature a more
comprehensive system to consist
of 1000 or 2200 miles classified
as primary and secondary roads.
The plan is proposed with a view
to continuation of development of
the system authorized under the
$40,000,000 bond act. This work,
it is anticipated will be finished
at the close of 1927.

A SWooSe

An English slang word of COM
paratively recent invention Is
"swoose," meaning buster, as
near as we can find out. It is
apparently portmanteau word,
for a London paper rhymes about
1t thus:
I'm told there's a bird called a
"swoose,"
A kind of a sort of goose;
With swan for a pater,
A goose for it's mater,
It's manners are really the doose.

hymn written by Theodore, a
Greek writer of the fourth centu
ry and derived by him from a
widely known tradition. Celsuh,
in the second century, attacking
Christianity, argued that if Christ
had been divine he would have
been differentiated from other
men, either in size or voice,
whereas they say he was small,
unfavored and ignoble." Finally
st. Ephraim, the Syrian, who
wrote in the fourth century
said, God took the human form
and appeared with stature of
three human cubits. He says he
rose upon us little of stature"
Three cubits is five feet, one inch,
