The appearance of these sign boards a week ago was the cause of a lot of agitation on the part of the townspeople, who ware horrified at this defacing of the Main street of our borough, and Mr. Schwarts was the object of much bitter criti­cism for allowing such billboards to be erected in so prominent place. Several of the good housewives were so wrought up over Mr. Schwarts’s lack of civic prida that they felt un­able to continue to deal with thi Schwarti butcher shop.

Sixty-five years ago. He gradaatad from Rutgers College in the dare of 1880, end shortly afterward* was an assistant to Dr. F. C. Van Dyke at the college. Later he took a med­ical course and became a full-fledged physician. During President Grover Cleveland’s administration he was medical examiner on the Government Pension Board.

Dr. Freeman, who received his degree from the College o f Physi­cians and Surgeons, New‘ York, did not practice medicine. Shortly after completing his studies, his father, Manning Freeman died and left him a big lumber and coal business known as tile Manning Freeman A Son Company o f Metuchen, which ousiness had been established over fifty years at the time Dr. Freeman assumed control.

On January 1, 1902, Dr. Freeman married Mary E. Wilkins, o f Ran­dolph, Mass., and brought his bride to live in a handsome new Colonial home on Lake street, Metuchen, which home Mrs. Freeman still oc­cupies. She and the physician sep-

In “/The Paterson Morning Call” under/the- Head o f “ The Iron Ped­dler” j James J. Davis, United States Secretary o f Labor,, tells the story o f his life ih the Rolling Mills ana what came o f it.

It would be well if every one of oun boys and even girls could read it trod it will interest many a man. Here is an interesting paragraph:

^Once three boys about fourteen y ea n old went on a strike because the proctor asked them to scrub the dining room floor on their knees. They thought this work would de­grade them, and they started to­ward the superintendent’ s office.

“On the «ay they met me and told me their troubles. T think it is ail right for a young man to scrub the floor on his kfie^s,’ I said. ’I ’ve done it for my mbther, many a tyne. I have been a j boot- black. But it didn’t hurt my j char­acter. You are going to the super­intendent for his opinion. He is a Harvard man, but he worked his way through school and one o f his jfobe was a bell-boy in a hotel. Had he been too proud to work as a servant he never would have gotten the education that makes him head o f this great School (Mooseneart).

and varnish it. work done better than you can do it, but that wouldn’t be giving you a chance to learn the work. Now 1 am not telling you boy6 to go pack and do the work if you don’t want to. Use your own judgment. But fellows that balk on a job never go far. A balky man is like a balky horse. Everybody gets rid of him as quickly as they can. A quitter is never given a good job. i hey always keep him in a place where it doesn’t make any difference whether he qits or not.’

“ The leader o f the boys said; ‘Aw, piffle, cut it o u t We might as Well oe scrubbing the floor as listening to this talk. Come on 'fe llow s.’ He ied them back, one o f them pro­testing that he would never scrub a noor tor any man. He went ahead and scrubbed the floor stilL saying that he wouldn” t That lad was .veaker than the leader. He went wherever he was led. The leader was a bey who made his own de­cisions. He was ashamed o f calling off the strike, but he did it be­cause he felt the strike was wrong. This is the idea o f the Moose heart uea o f eaucation. Every boy must Jse his own judgment. He faces every fact that he will face in life, ana by the time he is eighteen his udgment is as ripe as that o f the

.nuch older average man. The Mooseheart boys as a group have

outers beaten in all the quali­ties that go to make a young ntan excellent. W e have prepared them or life.”

palities have adopted it in this State including practically all of the large cities o f the first and second riasg^ Elizabeth and Paterson are tha, more noticeable exceptions. These large industrial centers have what is known as the “ Board o f Works” lorjra.

^he “ City Manager Plan” is not mandatory, but is ojtional with the voters o f any municipality whether large or small. , They can tik e it jr ileave it U3 they see fit. Neither do^s it apply to county government.

stitute proceedings for the adoption o f the “ City Manager” plan until after commission government shall have been in operation in such mu-

iipality for a period o f four years.(The plan o f procedure for the

Sption o f the plan is as follows: it, a petition containing the

o f fifteen par cen t o f the voters, who voted a t the previous election for members o f the General Assembly is presented to the mu­nicipal clerk. This petition is to be Checked and certified by the mu­nicipal clerk. Then a special elec­tor. is held within toui weeks from he date o f the petition. I f the ma­

jority o f t^e votes cast are in favor of the adoption and the majority represents thirty per cen t o f the votes cast at the previous election far, the' memhsrs Fif th* fUnm rml i . -sembly the plan wiBtfbe declared adopted. Four weeks from this date a primary is held and the p er ions receiving the highest number >i vote* to a number equal to twice the number of place* t# be filled are placed upon the general election ballot which general , election shall be held four weeks after the pri­mary.

The commissioners who now combine ex­ecutive direction o f their respective departments Would, under the man­ager plan, turn over the executive functions to the city manager, and retain for themselves the legislative, general administrative and judicial powers now exercised by the com­mission.

GET TO BOTTOMGovernor Silzer'i stand on tho highway question deserves!

commendation. There have bent all aorta of charges and rumors and reports on the highway situation* in this State, but no defi-; nite action was ever taken, and the public at large was not in a | position to know whether there was any basis for the attacks or whether they were merely political camouflage.

By taking the case into the courts, however, Governor Sil­ver has put the case into concrete form for a definite decision, and the truth of the matter can be thoroughly threshed out in a manner which will be above criticism. — r-™=------------ -

The old highway board, if it had only the interests of the State at heart, will welcome a chance to exonerate itself, and that is the attitude which is indicated by Chairman Burton’s statement which was issued to the press yesterday. On the other hand, if there is any reason why the money should be returned to the State treasury such action should be compelled by the courts.

A most searching investigation into the whole question of highway management for the past few years should be made for the sake of the people whose taxes have been going to foot the bills, and there should be no hesitation. Taking the case intd court instead of before a politically organized legislative committee indicates that action is what is really desired by the Governor.—N. B. Daily Home News.

The debt funding bill gave opportunity for international 1- iiiud slinging which Senator Reed and one or two others found j irresistible, but it also gave opportunity for a demonstration that j such members of Congress are in a very small minority. Both j in the House and in the Senate the occasion waS seized by the p Democratic leader to call for a non-partisan consideration of the measure in a speech which was cheered to the echo. Here i the session rose to its greatest height. Its handling of a do­mestic financial problem by means of legislation* providing for larger credit to fanners was less statesmanlike. The Senate, passed the Capper bill, which was based upon sound principles, and followed it with the Lenroot bill, which involved the Gov-| emment in far deeper risks. The House took the short and easy | way out of the difficulty by combining the two measures. In its final form, therefore, this fan a credit legislation constitutes an experiment which must be closely watched.

If President Harding saved Congress from the liability of the Bursum pension bill, Congress paid the debt by saving him from the liability* of ship subsidy. It is the fashion to rail against checks and balances, but sometimes it looks as if the framers of the Constitution were uncommonly well informed re­garding the practical working of democratic government.— N. Y. Evening Post.

How Telephone Company Wins Battles W ith King Winter

London Hears New York by Radio Telephone . r "ocbal Experiment Exceeds Expectations

To the average person In home or office howling galea of wind that drive blasts of sand like snow against the window-panes only make a warm ra­diator and an easy chair more' com­fortable.

But for N. Y. Telephone Co. men storm brings another story, says the Telephone Review. When King Win­ter marshals his forces and sends them sweeping over the country tele­phone men call upon tholr regular and' reserve supply of men and materials and work until they hare made a ooa- plate restoration of telephone sendee after Nature's ravages.

Suppose a big blissard occurs In the Cstskill region. Bill Jones, the Wire Chief, has first knowledge of the ex­tent of the damage because he Is the first to receive the reports on toll and exchange lines out ,of service. His

traction, Plant mtn from all over ter­ritory of the N. Y. Telephone Co. meet, discuss details for all emergen­cies that may arise and lay out plans to meet them. The men who will su­pervise the restoration work go over evory detail and are ready when trou­bles arise so that the forces may be mustered at once. Their men are carefully Instructed In the duties that they will have to perform later. Si­multaneously with these conferences tho Building and Supplies Department secures from the Western Electric Company extra supplies of copper wire, poles, emergency cable, etc., and places them at strategic points where they can be reached without delay. This year 68,000 feet of circular loom Impair emergency cable, 850 miles of wire, 100,000 copper sleeves of va- rious slses, 45,000 bridging connectors,

New York and London are now within speaking distance. Recently Tuekssiges, sent by radio telephone from New York were clearly heard by an HMHH.nibly of British officials and scientists gathered in a suburb of London to participate in an exporl mebt which added a new page to the history of communication.

The talking was done from s room In the American Telephone and Tele­graph Company’s building at 195 Broadway, New York. The following description of the experiment is from the Telephone Review, N Y H B.

Mr. Thayer began speaking at nine P M , which* was two A. no. Green­wich time in England. At 9:11 word- had been received back from England by cable announcing the complete suc­cess of the experiment.

General J. J. Carty sent a message at 9:07 P. M. and at 9:14 a cablegram arrived reading "Purves recognized Carty's voice.” This refers to Major T. F.

first job Is to determine the extent and Ideation of sll damage. With the aid of carefully kept records In the Emergency Bureau containing the names and addresses of all men who can be used for storm work, he gets his force together. These men, bun­dled In heavy clothes, leave their warm hornet or headquarters to go out through tha drifted snow and dis­cover the details of tha wreckage. Each man is assigned a certain line to cover, and he makes his patrol,1 noting on a specially prepared form1 the extent and location of all damage to telephone property. Having reach ; ed the end of the line assigned to him,' he calls the Wire Chief and reports his findings. If he le unable to get a call through, he tramps back through the storm and makes hla report at the local report center.

As soon as the location and extent of all damage la ascertained, aeveral other forces snap Into action The Division Engineer haa a large skele­ton map which ahowa the lines and stations In each central oGJce area and the open-wire trunk- lines. As fast as the reports come In he enters the breaks on it, add later makes cor rectlonaaa soon aa tho damage is re­paired./ With this "birda-eyo v!ew**ol the trOnbl* before him he determines the type of restoration work whleh shall be done. He le often obliged to make Wiergency and temporary as­signments. For example, there may be a toll circuit routed through a dam­aged cable between Albany and Syra­cuse end he must take emergency steps to get this repaired as quickly, as possible. Or Cairo, far back In the mountains, may be entirely cut off, and he must Issue orders for perhaps a single insulated circuit to be run across the snow, on fence tops and trees to give this town some com mu nlcatlon with the outer world until a more permanent job can be done.

Meanwhile, the Division Supervisor of Supplies having been informed of the amount of cable, poles and wire affected, gate all necessary materials to the places where they are needed. He then commandeers Company trucks and vehicles, either In his own division or from another, and sends his stocks in them. H# also knows where outside transportation facilities may be obtained. Then if supplies ere needed in some out-lying district where It would take considerable time to get a Company track through, he •ends word to the "Empire Trucking Company" to get certain material such aa "three poles and six cross arms” from tho Tayvtlle office and tahe them'Youths place where they are needed.

Broken poles and crosftmnu are Cleared away, together wlth^all poise, aerial wire which has became crossed with eleetplc or trolley circuits la eat down. Tangled wire# are either an- eaerled or caat aside. Now poles are set or old ernes reset, often lscsssl tatlng the dynamiting af holes In fro- ■on north. Temporary wires are run, to oertaln potato designated by the Division Bagla ear end old cable Is re­paired or new cable is ran. AH theca and many other Jobe are dene by the men with the greatest efficiency and •peed possible, for every minute that

and 2,500 cross-arms were obtained and distributed .to our various store­rooms to be used for storm troubles. Beside these emergency materials the Company and Western Electric sup­plies are always available for use.

Long distance and toll trunk linos because of their great Importance are the first to be restored and as fast aa men are released from this work they nre used to augment the Wire Chief’s forces to restore local lines and Indi­vidual subscribers’ drop lines. Hun­dreds of stories have been told of the gneat loyalty of telephone linemen, and thousands remain untold, of hours spent in patrollng lines In gales or wind, or working by the light of huge bonfires or under arc-lights ftr into the night. A ffian who dropped in the REVIEW office the other day told of seeing linemen near Syracuse who were bucking their way through four feet snow drifts to get to i pi out In the country where tr were In trouble.

iiouolulu, on the Island of Oahu, in far-away Hawaii, is said to have a moet up-to-date telephone system. In other of the island there aremany small exchanges and because of the many nationalities represented In the population, the Hawaiian tele­phone operator must be an expert In tifty-seven varieties of human speech.

Her nationality Is generally Chi­nese, Japanese or Hawaiian and what her day's work is like is told by a writer in the Christian SciSncd Moni­tor.

A Chinaman from his home In the rice field $ calls her and says: “Tele­phone line, him on the floor." Imme­diately tlje girl makes a'report to the "trouble man" that Hung Lung has reported the line broken and lying on the ground.

A Japanese calls central but does not know the number nor h^w to spell the name of the person to whom lie wishes to tmik. The. girl immediately puts him through a rapid croea-exami- natlon In pidgin English as to Where the man works and his friend's name, and tn nine cases out of ten gets the connection for him In a remarkably short time. When he has the correct number he does not understand that it la nsesaaary to drop ten cents in the coin box, and the girl proceeds:

"Yon drop dime box." "Yob put ten cent* Inside." "You aee little box near jonr nose, 6, 10, 26. eh? Yon see? Will, yon drop ten cents middle hole. AH right, now you talk.” "Why you no talk, you talk, other man he listen."

Then on another line n call oomeo from a Hawaiian who cannot talk English. He Is connected to a tele­phone tho owner of which dose not wish to talk Hawaiian, as ho nadcr- ■ toads Bngliah hot tar over tho tote phono It Is then neosesary ter tho operator to not aa referee, and by coaxing or near fores compel tho re­luctant subscriber either to talk Ha­waiian or to got some one to tho tote

"In 1915 the American Telephoneand Telegraph t'ompany transmitteda message across the Atlantic by ra­dio telephone from Arlington, Va., to the Eiffel Tower in Haris, .where it was heard and understood by ouf own engineers and by others. During 1915 we also sent a telephone message from Arlington part way across the Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands where It-was heard and understood by our own engineers ami by officers of the United States Navy Since then great Improvements have been made In the art not only of radio but of telephony and of radio telephony the experiments which we are conducting .

Toward the end of the experiment the loud speaker was used success­fully, and at eleven P. M. this mes­sage was received from Frank Gill, European Chief Engineer of the Inter-. national Western' Electric Company and President of the British institute of Electrical Engineers. "Loud speak­er now being used—good resells— great enthusiasm." “Your Interview on loud speaker came through fins." A final mesnage from Mr. Gill read as follows: "On conclusion of thesa most successful • and historic 'tests which have mitie a profound impression, all those assembled at the London end wish to congratulate most heartily Ihs American Telegraph end Telephene Company and the Radio Corporatisn of America."
