Red Cross Gets
sos Members
Local Unit Appeals For "Beanies.

q Lambertville came second highest
in the list of Red Cross member
ships in Hunterdon County for this
year with total of 552. OF these
40 are contributing memberships
at 500 each, and are sustaining
memberships at $1,000 each. The
regular yearly membership is $1oo,
and there are sos of them.
1t is significant that Lambertville
got more money out of the 40 con-
tributing memberships than out Of
the entire sos yearly memberships
This is because 75c out of every
membership goes to National work,
and the balance, no matter whether
it is one dollar or a ten dollar
membership, is retained for local
work. Thus, while the yearly mem
berships amounted to $50S00, Lam
bertville retains only S12700 of it.
But the 40 contributing of $500
each, amount to $4,000, gave Lam
bertville $4,000 for local use. The
four $1,000 sustaining memberships,
amounting to $4,000, gave Lambert
vile $1,000 for local work. The total
amount going to the local treasury
is $33400.
This is pointed out to show that
where it is possible it is always
advantageous for local aid TO take
out contributing memberships. This
can be made possible by families
combining their individual member
ships into one.
The total memberships for Hunter
don County are 2,666, amounting to
S3,197. OF these Pennington was
highest with 547 annual member
ships, 81 contributing and sustain
ing memberships. Stockton has AZ

Babcock on Traffic Regulations

State Highway Commissioner Babcock Of Min
nesota has won national reputation as an expert
in road construction and the administration of high
way matters. He has been invited to attend the
national safety congress called by President Cool
idge to meet at Washington March 1926.
He sums up the situation in few words: "Too
many ,aws-too little observance"
The situation then resolves itself into a question
Of better enforcement of present traffic laws rather
than in new enactments. 1t u.s. to use designation
of Commissioner Babcock, the RECKLESS minority"
who endanger life and limb the public highway.
There should be uniformity of traffic rules
throughout the nation. One city restricts speed to
certain degree and the neighborng city has a
different rule and much confusion results. "Speed
traps are maintained by villages to enhance the
public treasury. Such cupidity as magistrates
display toward motorists nstills disrespect for all
regulations. There are two sides to the PROPOSE
ton Of street and highway safety. The laws must
be simple and reasonable. Each locality would find
enforcement if uniform regulations were used and
the national conference is step toward that end.
Gov. Sorlie is to follow up the national confer
ence with state safety meeting and much good
should result 1t is necessary and then to
focus attention upon the increasing accidents and
fatalities on the streets and the highways Of the

A Suggestion TO Governor Smith
(Grand Forks Herald)


Governor AL Smith of New York is out to improve
the housing conditions in the state of which he is
the executive. He has discovered that 70 per cent
of the states population needs better and cheaper
homes. Hence in message td the New York leg
islature the governor proposes to create state
housing bank, and state housing board to grapple
with the situation.
The board, according to his plans. would have
the power to condemn land and supervise the
construction of model homes, while the bank would
have the job of arranging the financing of the
building operations, which should not exceed six
per cent to the home builder, Governor Smith main
tains. Payments would be spread over long per-
iod Of years the amortization plan.
It might not be amiss for Governor Smith to read
up little on the history of the late amented North
Dakota Home Builders association, before he puts
his plan into effect. The history of that ill fated
enterprise should certainly give him some pretty
comprehensive ideas Of how not to 60 about the job
he is urging on New York state.
And incidentally the record made by the North
Dakota Home Builders association may convince
him that attempts to solve the housing problem BY
state Intervention don't always turn out to be un-
mixed blessings to the states in which the attempts
are made, and whose taxpayers must pay the bill
for the paternalistic experiment.

Editorial Comment
Pretty and Useful Work
Duluth Herald)


To be of real use in the community YOU do not
have to be prominent citizen, you do not have to
live in any particular section, and the organization
you work through does not have to be large or rich
or powerful.
AS example Of the truth of that statement,
The Herald would like to present the Fond du Lac
Garden Flower society.
Fond du Lac, in its beautiful setting, is not the
largest suburb by any means. And it lies at the
very edge of the city. Yet out of it has come the
gentle and yet powerful influence of garden flow
society that is doing real good in the community
and that is setting beautiful example
Just now this society is conducting poster con-
test in the high schools Of the city, the posters
illustrate the slogan of the National Plant, Fruit
and Flower Guild -"Share your flowers" This
local contest is part of national contest in which
very liberal prizes are offered But besides these
national prizes the Fond du Lac society is offer
ing local prizes Of five dollars, three dollars and
two dollars.
This contest, which is being conducted under the
auspices CT this society with the cordial co-opcra-
ton of the art department of the public schools, is
fine constructive enterprise, and nothing could
be prettier than this slogan which is its basis.
Last Christmas the Fond du Lac society dccorat-
ed fifty little Christmas trees and, accompanying
each with little gift, gave them to- shut-in folks
in homes and hospitals And that was pretty, too.
The society also conducts annual flower show
in September. at which the glories Of the wonder
full gardens Of this garden spot in what is becom-
ing garden city displayed. And this year a
spring show is planned also
This little society is live factor for good in the
community, and The Herald is glad to congratu
late it, its members, and especially it's president,
organizer and leading spirit, Mrs. Rebecca Pinnco

Fun at Chicago's Expense

Down East the New York press is berating Chi
Cages failure to cope with crime conditions Re-
Gently Vice President Dawes presented an appeal
for congressional investigation of the political
and criminal situation in Chicago. summary of
the Eastern criticisms is given below:
New York Times: 1.-THE petition submitted to
the senate on Saturday through Vice President
Dawes asking congress to come to the help Of Chi
cago in preventing and furnishing cirme, is per-
haps the most object surrender of sef-government
ever limited at in this country. The federal govern
mcnt has absolutely jurisdiction in the matter.
IF Chicago cannot rule herself, put down crime
and cause her government to be trusted, then she
ought to surrender her charter She is not fit to
American city.
'IIer citizens have forgotten the elementary prin
cp!cs OF local control Of local affairs But there is
no reason to suppose that Chicago has fallen on such
evil days. She cannot be truly represented by those
who lift up their eyes to Washington as the only
place where help be found in Chicago
New York Evening Post (under the heading
"Chcago's Shameful Confession'): "The document
laid before the senate by Vice President Dawes
himself Chicagoan, is not an official plea
Nevertheless it is the most humiliating confession
ever made by the people of an American city of
the first rank The second city of the United
States has thrown up her hands and is calling for
federal aid Here is confession Of breakdown in
local responsibility and self-government never wit
messed before in any great American municipality
New York Sun: "At first glance the appeal ;.
seems almost grotesque and the circumstances that
political primary campaign is in progress lays it
open to suspicion Yet
'lf these charges we'll founded it is plain that
the United States has duty to perform in Chi
cage. Alien criminals subject to deportation by
the United States government alone. But if the
Better Government association of Chicago conceives
it to be the obligation province of the United
States to police Chicago it strangely misreads
the facts"
