tinental Congress from it's inception.
AS to the question OF separation
from Great Britain, opinions in the
Province differed greatly and in
1875 it's delegation was divided on
the subject. Taking his seat late
in July, Morton showed high and
disinterested courage in voting for
the Declaration, thus committing his
Province to the Revolution, and Of
Tending a number of his friends who
were Loyalists or Conservatives.
He helped to frame the plan of
confederation, but did not live to see
it adopted, dying of fever at his
birthplace near Philadelphia in
April, 1777.
Morton was the only man OF
Swedish birth to sign the Declare
tion. A memorial to his name will
be erected by Swedish-Americans
all over the United States for the
Sesqui- Centennial Exposition. The
John Morton Memorial Building will
stand on the banks of the Della
ware River near the United States
Navy Yard, and will be used as
headquarters for Swedish-Americans
during the Exposition.

ment of prohibition. Drastic econ
omy can begin when prohibition
enforcement becomes reasonably
satisfactory in all parts OF. the
country. Until it does, the prohi-
bition. force should be increased
daily so long as valuable men can
be found who are willing to risk
their lives and put up with the
miserable employment conditions OF
a service where men are likely to be
dumped upon the street without 6
momnt's warning, where an agent
must in many cases advance out OF
his own pocket the money with which
the government does business and
where he is constantly subjected t.
systematic abuse and persecution on
the part of the. opponents of the
law
T The Board of Temperance, Pro-
hibition and Public Morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has con
fidence in the prohibition admins
tration and is sincerely sympathetic
with the difficulties so courageously
faced by General Andrews. 1t be-
lieves much of the criticism of pro-
hibtion enforcement is because OF
faulty administration in a few
localities and that this administra
ton is almost always the result of
political interference. The time has
come when a man should not be ap-
pointed to administer the prohibi
ton law because he is a Democrat
or Republican, but because he is
a prohibitionist and man who has
the ability to do the work. Give
Andrews every chance-Give prohi
| bition every chance.

1925 AS A WHOLE WAS
WARM AND DRY

Everybody has different opinion
about weather. Some always thinf
the year just passed the coolest or
record, and some sigh for the "gooc
old days. of their youth when biz
yards were billiards. and Fourth OF
July heat was really insufferable
The Weather Bureau of the United
States Department OF Agriculture
says that the temperatures for 1925
as whole in nearly all parts OF the
country were we'll above normal
IN other words, it was generally E
warm, dry year. The only area
that had rather cool year were the
lake region and the more north
eastern districts, such as northern
New York, Vermont, and New
hampshire.
The year was especially warm ir
the South, throughout the interior
valleys, and in all districts west O.
the Rocky Mountains. There was
less than the usual amount of pre-
nipitation in most regions east OF thu
Rocky Mountains, with the creates
DEFICIENCIES in the southern APP
palachian region, the northern lake
area, and in the central Missouri
Valley. The coolest weather of the
year, as shown by the yearly mini
mum temperature, was decided.
warmer than the previous record O.
cold in most parts of the country
The coolest weather reported from
first-order Weather Bureau station
was Al degrees below zero at Can
ton, N. Y. At few stations in the
northern Great Plains temperature
dropped to 20 or 29 degrees below
zero. but this was some 20 degrees
warmer than the previous low
record
The outstanding features OF the
years weather, as affecting agricul
tural interests, were the PERSISTENT,
warm summer weather, causing
most crops to mature early; severe
drought prevailing in the South
eastern States; and persistent wet
ness in the fall in much of the cen
trail valley area. which greatly inter
rupted the gathering of crops and
seeding of winter grains. There
was no unusual harm from low tenn
peratures.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
THE PHYSICIANS HELPER

The advent of the public health
nurse in all of the counties OF the
state has led to numerous questions
in regard to the status OF the nurses
in the communities they serve. In
some instances" said Miss e. Ethel
Monroe, the Advisory Nurse OF the
State Department of Health, the
mistake has been made of thinking
that the public health nurse ir
some ways supplants the practicing
physician. This is not the case.
Public health nurses, like all
other nurses are trained to assist
physicians in their fight against
disease. Just as a private duty
nurse is an assistant to the physician
in charge of the case she is nursing,
so the public health nurse is an as
sistant to the physicians with whom
she works. Any sick care that is
given by the public health nurse, is
given only when the patient is under
medical care The doctors work is
in the field OF medicine. He
diagnoses the case and prescribes the
treatment that is to be followed.
The nurse supplements the work of
the physician by her knowledge OF
nursing. The physician tells the
patient what to do; the nurse, at
the request of the physician, goes
into the home and shows the patient
or the person who is, taking care of
him, how to do what has been
ordered.
I'm every part of her work, the
doctor and the public health nurse
are allies in the fight for health
For instance, in the work in the
schools, after the physical examina-.
lions have been made by the health
officer, the advice that is given tc
the parents of children in need OF
medical attention is Get in touch
with your family physician The
nurse gives her help then in carry
ing out the doctors recommenda
tons for the improvement OF thu
childfen's health.
When a nurse comes in .contac'
with an expectant mother her advice
is place yourself at once under
medical supervision. Visit your
physician. Get him to advise you in
regard to your diet; to, make the
necessary examinations and to do al
in his power TO bring you through
this ordeal safely
The nurse is the physician
helper. The two work hand in hand
for the promotion of health, tho
prevention of disease and the con-
seryation OF human life" t

.CROQUE7 ENJOYING
 A REAL REVIVAL
Elderly Men Declare It Is a He-Man'S Game for He-hen

New York, Sept. 2S Pl lEe leisurcly game of croquet is enjoy ing a revival in the hectic metropo- lis, shut off from the roar of trat- dc in parks hcmmcd in by sky scrapers.
 It's enthusiastic deyotoes, es- pccially the elderly men who haunt the courts on the velvety lawns of Central park in Manhat- tan and Prospect park in Brook lyn, indignantly deny that it is ladies game" It's game for he men, they say.
 Dr. George Wardenburg of Brooklyn. for instance. has been knocking the cropu"t balls through the wicliets for 4O-odd years and he likes to play golf, too. "But give me croquct any day. he says Golf calls for skill only, but this game calls for skill, strategy and q constant battle Of wits
 "I spend two or three hours a day out here. from the time it gets warm enough in the spring until snow falls" he said. Then l go down south and play"
 Two retired Brooklyn business men. of 96 and S7 summers, re- spcctivcly. assert that if they hadn't played croquet they would have been in their graves years ago.
 On some days as many as c5 courts arc in use in Prospect park click Of maIlets and balls. Matches between experts --- men and women -- draw q good sized gallery and there Is dignihcd cheering and handclapp,ng at particularly shiIful shot.
 The rivalry is strong, too, and and the same cXultation in victory and depression in defeat is as evil dent as in any other sporting con test.
 "Thcse fellows are surely keen on the game" says Tommy Dono- van. keeper of thc mallots in Pros- ppct park. "I have seen them ont there on days when they carried an umbrella in one hand and q mallct in the other"
 The real dyed-in-thc-w wool Brook lyn players keep their private malIcts in special equipment house in the park and Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen never took 9 more jealous care of q favoritr mashie than these players Io of their equipment.
 One prominent physician rccom- mends croquet as an ideal game for q fat man. Golf and tennis are too strenuous, hc says, but stoop- ing over mallet has the same effects as 2 massage and 1t doesn't cost as much.
 The players are divided as to 'ho relative valun Of tho modern rubber balls and tho wooden balls. Some Of the o'd-tiniers favor the old kind saying it gives zost to their play to hear the resoundlng whacks.

.HAML|N PRESIDENT
 OF CHURCH LEAGUE
Succeeds Cline-Outing in Ken.
 Singt0n on October g

George IT. Hamlin was elected president of the 1nter-Church ath- lH'ic association at a meeting of the board Of managers held last night at tho !. NJ. (. X. Mir. Hamlin. who has managed Memorial teams in the league and has been secretary treasurer for the past year, succeeds Raymond Cline, who has been fore cd 10 retire by pressure of other activities. Kermet F.. Parker, South church manager was elected to sue ceed Mir. Hamlin as secretary treasurer.
 An outing for church league players and those of both sexes in terested in the teams will be held on Saturday afternoon, October 9, at Benedict-Phillips Recreation field. behind the Congregational church in kensington. A game be- tween two teams chosen on the spot will be played. other athletic activi- ties will be conducted. hot dogs and coffee will be served. and the champion St. Matthew's German Lutherans will be presented with the trophy.

Hobart were named 10 secure a suitable cup for the winners.
 The league Is now In fine shape financially. The benefit game last week resulted in the selling of more than 15O tickets. and the money thus realized, together with the as sessnlents on the teams, which are now coming in rapidly, has put the league back on it's feet after monetary shakiness. IL was voted 10 have all equipment turned in to Mr. Parker that it might be available again next spring.
 The nominating committee. con- sisting of Mr. Hobart, Mir. Phillips, and Mr. Hamlin, brought in the name of Mir. Hamlin for president and the recommendation was ac- cepted unanimously.

SHEP BINGHAM 0N
 BROOKLYN ELEVEN
Former Yale and AIl-NeW Britain End Joins HOrSeInen

New York, Sept. 2S - Humbert !. Fugazy's Brooklyn Horsemen started their final week of practice at Commercial field yesterday aft ernoon in preparation for the American Football league opening Sunday which will find them lining up against Joe Sternamann's Chi cago Bulls. A feature of the session was the appearance of Shep Bing- ham, Yale, and an all-eastern wingman in 1924 The acquisition of Bingham will add considerable strength to the line.
 The former Bulldog end didn't get into the scrimmase session, limiting his first days efforts to a light drill Coach Ed McNeeley. however, expects that he will be in shape 10 play against the Chicago eleven even if not for a full game.
 McNeeley was more than pleased with the way his line held up through yesterdays practice. II was figured that the forward wall was the weak link in the Horse mems makeup. but there was no evidence to support this idea yes terday The men worked as though they had been playing together for several sessions. It was clock-like team work all the way through with never a break to mar the practice.
 The backfield has come along in great. style under the able coach- ing Of Captain Harry Stuhldreher, former member of Notre Dame's famous Four Horsemen. Stuhldre- her. it was announced last night, would surely start against the Sternamann machine, as will Earl Britton. famous running mate of Red Grange at Illinois. Britton also was bumped about in the final practice session of last week.
 He has been on the sidelnes for the past few days; but will get in against the scrub outfit tomorrow afternoon for the final hard scrim- mage of the week.

RUTH ID BREAK
 RECORD IN SERIES
Babe to Enter His Seventh Battle
 for Worlds Baseball Title

New York, Sept. 2S tP - Babe Ruth will break his first world ser ies record by going out to the park and taking his place in the opening game. If the big fellow retains a grip on his health and is able to play he will enter his seventh worlds ser ii ies. No other player has played more than six.
 Tied with Ruth up to this year at six participations in the baseball classic were J. Franklin Baker, Ev- erett Scott. Eddie Collins and Wally Schang. Baker is farming and not interested in playing worlds series baseball. Scott, Collins and Schang can not better their records at the moment for the White Sox and the Browns are not winning pennants this year.
 The leading exponent of baseball Diff played three worlds series un- der the colors of the Boston Red Sox and wielded his mace in as many series for the Yankees.
 Other records may be expected 10 fall if the Babe Is on his game. He will have to score more than eight runs 10 better one mark-for he is tied with Tommy Leach for the most runs scored in one series at eight.
 Ruth is tied with Goose Gosln and Joe Harris of Washington for the most home runs in one series three, or tr-it1 IJOonar nf +ho n ai CnN- o Kauff of the Giants for two home runs in one game. Ruth smashed out his circuit blows in successive innings. October II, 1923.
 The Babe is tied with a number of fellow athletes, past and present, for the number of extra base hits in a series, with five. but holds un- disputed first place for the most ey- tra bases on long hits, IS, compiled in 1918. 1921. 1922 and 1923 by four home runs, two triples and two doubles. He also has established tie with Hooper and Kauff for the most extra bases on long hits In one game, six.
 He was in q receptive mood for a record in 1923 when he was given eight passes on balls during the ser ics.
 The versatile Ruth also has his name engraved in the department devoted to pitching records. He pitched o9 scoreless innings for the Red SoX in 1916 and 1918, going 13 innings the first year and 16 the sec ond.
 Ruth has a total of four worlds series home runs against six for Cos lin of the Washington Senators who hit three in 1924 and three more in 1925. Ruth will have to get three in the series to establish new record.

KENSINGTON TO MEET RED
 SOX INSTEAD OF FALCONS
Change in Schedule Made at Request of Manager Joe Veniski- -Buckleys Crew Has Chance to Wind Up Play Against Tobn's Club - Arrangements For Postponed Game to Be Made This Week-Probaby
 Will Play Saturday and Sunday October and 10.

The Kensington baseball team will meet the Corbin Red Sox in Ken sington next Sunday afternoon in- stead of the Falcons, Manager Pat Buckley announced today. The Fall cons were scheduled to meet the kensington team next Sunday after noon. but because of the fact that number of the Falcon players will be away, some seeing the world ser ,ies and others busy in other places, there will be no game between these two teams next Sunday. Instead. arrangements were made between Managers Pat Buckley and John To- bin to have the Corhin Red Sox ad- vance their game ahead one week.
 When the schedules were first made up. the consecutive dates were made between the kensington and Falcon teams which had the two playing last Sunday and then com- ing back again at each other the following week. The Corbin Red Sox were to have played the follow ing week and the last game, if neces- sary on October 17.
 The Kensington team has an op- portunity of finishing up the Corr bin Red SoX series this coming Sun day. providing that the team wins again. The score in games now stands with kensington having two wins 10 it's credit to one for the Red SoX. If konSington wins Sundays game, the series will be finished be- cause it is running the best two out of three. If kensington loses. it will mean another game because the teams will then be tied.
 Arrangeme to play the post poncd game with the Falcons will be made some time this week and it will probably be decided 10 play both Saturday and Sunday, October 2 and 10 so that the series will be cleaned up one way or the other.
