PROPOSED MONDAY HOLIDAYS
- MEET WITH. MUCH CRITIC IN
New jersey Measure Is Opposed Destructive of Element
Sentiment in Public Observance of Annual Events

Passage by one branch Of the New
Jersey Legislature of a bill which would
require the observance of all holidays
on Mondays is denoted by the press as
suggesting the possibility of national
action. So far as New Jersey is con-
cerned, 1t is believed that the public
would not be satisfied to have its observ-
ance on days ignored by the rest of the
country, especially the Fourth of July.
Monotony also is seen.
Several times year." says the New
York Herald Tribune. I'VE might have
Saturday, Sunday and Monday off In a
row, but that would be another matter.
Three days is time enough to take a
trip of respectable length, or to rest and
relax. To observe holiday on Tuesday,
Wednesday or Thursday is to mess up
the weeks work and routine completely.
But sentiment is the excuse and occasion
for almost every holiday. A shift that
detracts from the emotional content of
a great day comes close to destroying
the occasion as we'll. There is the rub.
It would certainly seem odd to observe
Thanksgiving on Monday, or to know
that we were to celebrate the Fourth Of
July on Monday, even If it happened to

The best remedy for ants is to let
them alone. Nor Is this defeatist attt-
tude.
This advice is the result OF many years
experience with these pesky insects.
We have tried trapping them, poison
Ing them, pouring boiling water on them,
swatting them.
They always come back stronger than
ever.
Finally. in despair, We gave up the
battle-and have had fewer ants than
ever before. It is an attitude that works.
The reason for this is simple enough
half the trouble with ants is In the home-
owners mind.
Once he gets over the feeling that
these capable insects have some dire
designs on his grass and flowers, he is
in fine way to know that best flower
of gardening
Tolerance.
1t is impossible for a human being to
get away from the human mind-either
his own or the minds Of others, and
many Of those gone years ago. Still
mind and minds play big part In this
life; often for good, sometimes for i'll.
One of the bad ways mind plays a
part is to magnify trivial things out Of
all importance to their size.
Thus the ant-to listen to some gar
deners, one might think the ant a fero-
cious beast, as large as lion, and twice
as deadly.
1t is true that entomologists are on
their side. These tell us that the insects,
lett to themselves, would conquer the
world In few years.
But what of the individual garden?
Will these anthills, so unsightly, really
ruin lawn?
will the ants destroy the peonies?
We do not believe they will.
All this ant pother is useless, not only
because the remedies so often fail us,
but also because the creatures themselves
will not play such part in the yard as
they do in our heated imaginations.
Even the least imaginative sort CT
person can think up all sorts of dire
things which he is quite sure are going
to happen.
The ants, however. have other plans
They are not thinking about your old
plants, or grass, or flowers.
They have biological urges
Your plants and grass are purely ac-
cidental, in their small lives. They
know nothing about them. In fact, they
are mainly big nuisance, in the ant
life. just something to get over, or
around, or through
Let them alone. in time they tend to
dwindle out, or at least stop throwing
up hills, and otherwise making a nui-
Sance out of themselves.

CLASH WITH JAPAN
FEARED OVER FISH
Congress Warned of ARMED
Conflict Unless Alaskan
Salmon Are Protected.
By the.ASsociated Press.

by the'Associated Press.
A move to protect American salmon
fishing in the Bering Sea was sup
ported by Anthony J. Dimond, Alaska
Delegate to Congress. today, with the
assertion that armed conflict" might
follow japanese "encroa chments" on
Alaskan fishing grounds.
He suggested that possibility in a
statement prepared for the House
Merchant Marine Committees hearing
on a bill to protect the Territory 5
fisheries.
Fears Clash.
Il am greatly apprehensive that un-
less suitable legislation be passed there
will be an armed conflict in Bering
Sea-" he said.
He said he had reliable informatio
that American fishermen, faced with
the knowledge that japanese en-
croachments would exhaust the salmon
fishery, would resort to force against
the Japanese II the Government did
not protect them and their jobs.
The bill. introduced by Mr.. Dimond,
would make it unlawful for any one to
fish for salmon in waters adjacent to
the Alaskan coast except under Com
merce Department regulations
1t would declare United States juris-
diction over all Alaskan waters east
Of the international boundary In Ber-
ing Sea, where the depth is less than
100 fathoms and which the President
has designated as a salmon fishery en-
forcement area.
Vessels Would BE Seized.
Vessels found in such areas could be
boarded by American officers and
seized if there were any violation Of
the proposed law
Japan repeatedly has denied, Mr..
Dimo1d said, that any japanese are
engaged in commercial salmon fishing
in territorial waters.
But in 1887. he said, 1t was believed
several million salmon may have been
taken by Japanese ships.

Mr.. Roosevelt said:

from the testimony that comes to me

spiritual reawakening in thu four
years which have passed since ( spoke
in 1894.
1T Is p very significant thing that
this awakening has come about in
America. 1t makes me realize more
fully that we do have, in addition to
the duty we owe to our own people, an
additional duty to the frest Of the
world. Things have bekn going on
in other countries-thtngs which are
not spiritual in any sense of the word
and that is putting it mildly.
Il must make a confession: I did
not realize until the last few years
how much influence America has in
the world. I did not really, deep down
IN my heart, believe very much in
church missions in other lands. To-
day do. I have seen what the Amer
ican church missions have accom-
plished in many countries. not only
on the religious side, but on the side
OF health and of education After all,
the three Of them tie In very definitely
together. We call what We have been
doing human security and social JUS
