PUBLICITY FOR PORT PLANS
The Jersey Journal, of Jersey City, thinks it is about
time that the Port of New York Authority had its plans pre
pared for the development of the Port of New Y’ork as a
whole, so that the people may be given a chance to examine
them and understand them before they are submitted to the
legislatures of New York and New Jersey for acceptance.
There is reason in the Jersey Journal's argument. Such a
tremendous project as this port development is going to be
ought not to be jammed down the people’s throats in any
high handed manner.
Those who have had an opportunity to examine the
plans of the port authority know what an elaborate scheme
it is. To carry out the full project will probably cost to a
hundred million dollars. It is quite evident that this vast
sum of money has got to come from the taxpayers in two
states—probably only from those within the port district.
If the people are going to be asked to put up such an amount
as this, they, naturally, want to know all about the project.
As the tentative plans stands today, the most expensive
feature of the port development is the underground auto
matic electric railroad system intended to relieve the eon
jestion on Manhattan island. This tunnel system is most
comprehensive in its detail and, from what can be gained
from the commissioners who are drawing up the plans, the
port development seems to center around it.
The primary purpose of this port development scheme,
as we understand it, is to relieve congestion and modernize
the Port of New Y ork. But the congestion in the port is an
entirely different thing from the congestion in Manhattan.
The way to relieve the congestion in the port is to spread
out and we take it that the purpose of including all this sec
tion within the Port of New York is to give room to spread
out and still keep within the port. The idea is that when
shippers from the interior are exporting goods they can send
their goods by rail to some other section of the port to be
loaded on steamers instead of sending them to the already
congested section about Manhattan island. Likewise, in im
porting goods, the vessels carrying cargoes destined to inland
cities can come to docks and unload within the Port of New
Y’ork and yet not be compelled to go to the piers at Manhat
tan or Brooklyn, as they must do at present in order to find
the necessary accommodations.
This is a problem that ail tne municipalities witnm
the port district can be interested in because they can all do
their part to help relieve the congestion. But the congestion
.ttun island, involving distribution through truck
le like, is something that is purely local- Manhat
lo take care of her own congestion within her
own limits just as Perth Amboy, Newark and every other city
within the port district is expected to take care of its own
local problems. As a matter of fact, if Manhattan were re
lieved of much of the so-called “through freight” bound to
or from interior points, there would be a whole lot more
room on her piers for her own local freight so that the
problem of distribution on the island itself would thereby
, be partly solved.
The point we are interested in is whether or not New
Jersey, or even that part of New Jersey included within the
port district, is going to be compelled to help pay for the
relief of the congestion in Manhattan. As the automatic
electric railroad, which forms such an important part of the
port development plans is designed almost entirely to re
lieve the congestion on Manhattan island, it would seem as
if that is something that should be tirianced entirely by Man
hattan, or at least by New York, exclusively. We are willing
to bear our share of the whole port development to relieve
congestion in the port, but we object to being taxed to relieve
the congestion In distribution on Manhattan island.
These are points that ought to be thoroughly explained
to the people before they are asked to pass upon them.
These things ought to be brought out before the matter is
vsubmitted to the legislatures for final adoption or rejection.
^ he matter is so important and means so much to the future
of this entire section that every detail ought to be fully ex
plained. The time to lay the facts before the people is before
the legislatures meet so that the representatives in the legis
latures can get the sentiment of the people in order to pass
upon the report with some degree of intelligence. To with
hold such a comprehensive report until the legislature is in
the midst of all kinds of legislation with only a few weeks
left of the session to consider the matter and expect the
plans to be adopted forthwith is asking too much.
There is much merit in the port development scheme
and something along the lines as laid out must be done if
the Port of New York is to maintain its supremacy. But
when manv millions of dollars are involved, all of which
must be furnished by the people, it is only fair that the peo
ple have ample time to consider the project in detail before
they are finally adopted. Of course, if the people are too
indifferent to consider them even when given an opportunity
they have no ground for complaint if they finally get some
thing they do not want. What is needed now is the final;
report of the Port of New York Authority laid before the
people at the earliest possible date.
CONSERVE THE FORESTS
Lumber is being cut in the United States at the rate of j
33,798,800.000 feet a year. That is equivalent to a plank
four inches wide, two inches tick and forty feel long, for
each man. woman and child.
Seems like a small amount. But picture a procession,
of' 106,000,000 people, each walking out of the woods with
a plank like that, and you realize that forests are being de
stroyed faster than they are growing.
T^be day whep lumber will be as scarce as hen’s teeth
i* not far in the future, unless the nation stops its forest;
destruction or replapts a tree for each one cut down.
WATCH DOCTORS NEEDED, HASKIN SAYS
Dully Letter by Frederic J. Ilaskln
WASHINGTOX, Oct. 31:—Horol
ogy' is going to be added to the list
of professions. By getting it recog
nized as a learned location, on the
same plane as pulling teeth or de
fending and prosecuting criminals,
the Horological Institute of America
hopes that some embryo dentists
and lawyers will be deflected to
horology. It is promised that they
will find less competition, and more
chance of service in this neglected
field.
Perhaps it should be explained
that an horologist is not a crystal
gazer, but a watchmaker. The term
is going to become more familiar in
the future, because the new Horo
logical Institute has decided that it
is a title preferable to that of watch
maker.
It might also be explained that a
watchmaker is not a man who
makes watches. At one time he was.
But now, when watches are made in
a factory, the employe who makes
a certain wheel for thousands of
timepieces generally has no claim to
the title of watchmaker. That name
is reserved for the man who knows
the anatomy of a watch as a surgeon
knows the human body. The watch
maker repairs watches and designs
new models.
The country needs 4,000 more of
these horologists than it has, and
the public is suffering accordingly,
though it may not realize it.
You may have noticed that getting
a watch repaired of late years is a
difficult undertaking. You take the
watch to a watch doctor, and he
returns it in time—generally a much
longer time than you expected. It
might have been fixed. Or, again it
might not. In this latter case, you
try this doctor again, or you try an
other. Watchmakers who can cor
rectly diagnose the trouble in a
watch without proceeding by the
trial of error method are scarce.
This is a serious situation because
the time we carry is inevitably less
accurate than it would be i£ the
country had the proper number of
expert watch repairers. In the ag
gregate we are wasting enormous
amounts of time through the decline
of punctuality.
With many individuals a close ac
curacy in a timepiece is not regard
ed as necessary, though almost
everyone has to catch trains and
meet important engagements at
times. With the railroad man, on
the other hand, a watch that is un
reliable may mean death or injury
to scores of persons.
itnilrouu lime vital
There are 2,000,000 of these rail
road timepieces that have to be
kept to no more than 30 seconds er
ror in a week. At the recent horo
logical conference it was pointed out
that while there are some excellent
horologists, there are l'ar too few
who are capable of repairing a time
piece so important as a railroad
watch. And there are undoubtedly
some doing this work vyho are not
qualified.
To improve conditions in the hor
ologieal industry, the Horological
Institute of America has been form
ed. it has just held its second con
ference, and agreed on its program.
It lias desired that watchmakers go
back to the standards of former
years when the designer and repair
er of timepieces was regarded as an
artist and a learned man. Watch
making was recognized as a difficult
art and it consequently attracted
many promising young men.
Now the boy or girl who wants a
career rarely thinks of this old art.
Horology requires more study and
receives less financial reward than
other professions, and so it is passed
over. At present it is not classed
with the professions, and students
refuse to spend two years or more
mastering a vocation that is general
ly classed as a trade.
Most people do not realize that
the man who fixes their ailing time
pieces is, or should be, a highly
trained technician. To repair a rail
road watch a watchmaker should
not only be thoroughly familiar with
its mechanism and himself an expert
craftsman, but he should know
something of physics and metal
lurgy. Knowledge of these subjects
and also of astronomy and trigo
nometry can be used by the expeit
watchmaker in his work.
Fewer and fewer students are en
tering the schools of horology. One
watch factory in New England ex
perimented with the idea of filling
the depleted ranks of the watch
makers from the high schools. Stu
dents In the senior year were offered
the chance of spending half of their
time in the watch factory, with
credit for study there.
This was intended to Interest stu
dents in the work, so that they
would enter the factory or a school
of horology when they graduated.
The plan did not work. A represent
ative of the company told the Hor
oiogical Institute that the boys were
more strongly attracted by the short
courses that would tit them for more
remunerative trades.
The Horological Institute hopes to
interest more students in the pro
fession of horology, where, it says,
chances for advancement are good.
It also hopes to improve salaries.
The institution hopes also to raise
the standard of repair work, and to
encourage research work in order to
advance our technique of watch
making.
Certified Watchmakers
This is to be dope by certifying
watchmakers. No watchmaker will
be required tq take an examination.
But those who wish to be certified
will be given a chance to take a test.
This'test will probably be prepared
by the Time Section of the Bureau
of Standards. The watchmaker wiil
be given a watch to repair and will
be asked questions to test his under
standing of the work.
Three examinations for three
grades are to be given, according to
the institute's decision. These will
he for “certified junior watchmaker,"
“certified w-atchmaker,” and "certi
fied horologist.”
The man who passes the first
.trade test—the last named—must
be a specialist. Such a man is an
engineer in horology, and the fact
that he deals with springs and
screws that are almost invisible, in
stead of with iron girders, makes his
work no less technically exacting.
The tests are to be of value to the
public in that a certificate from the
Horological Institute should be a
sign of ability. On the other hand,
as the tests are not compulsory, lack
of a certificate will not imply incom
petence.
The tests are also designed to pro
mote the interests of the watchmak
ers themselves. They will know that
by taking these tests and perhaps
studying to gain the higher certifi
cates, they can earn more money and
a reputation for greater skill.
Members of the Horological Insti
tute have said that the work of their
organization now is chiefly for the
future. Men who have been earning
their livings for years do not always
take kindly to examinations and cer
tificates—though the institute has
found that Us own members from
big watch companies and repair
shops are willing to stand the tests
for the example of the thing.
The certificates will be of most
interest to young students of horol
ogy who will be encouraged to study
longer and become more expert, in
stead of accepting the poorly paid
jobs that are offered when they are
half way through a course.

LONDON. Nov. 3.—Crime waves
are all a matter of mental contagion.
Tne phenomenon of mental conta
gion is as old as the world.
Cases in history are without num
ber—terrors of the millenlum, mys
tic hallucinations, massacres, politi
cal or religious, the frenzy for duets,
the bath of blood attending revolu
tionary guillotines, suicides in the
so-called romantic epoch of the last
ccgtury.
Nihilism under the Russian czars
and bolshevism of today are nothing
other than phenomena of mental
contagion.
A man who yawns sets his neigh
bors R-yawnlng. A smile calls forth
smiles. Tears are likewise infec
tious.
Frenzied speculation which
tcaehed fantastic heights about 1919
1920 also proceedeil from mental
contagion. The fall In prices will be
largely determined by the same
moral factor.
Attempt* at crime due to mental
contagion are not sensibly dimin
ished becauso of the punishment in
flicted ujipn their perpetrators.
. Mchtal contagion acts upon people
in a state of receptive criminality.
The microbe of came, like that of
grip or typhoid, takes effect upon or
ganisms ready for infection.
Perhaps tho worst of mental con
tagions can be the mistaken indul
gence of juries and courts. To give
freedom to people without any other
means of existence than theft or as
sassination is simply to encourage
tho worst of crime waves.
To cure criminal contagion It is
necessary to use the contagion of
fear. Tho duel disappeared from
Kngland the day it was known that
the survivor of a contest would be
hung as a murderer.
Can humanity be preserved entire
ly from mental contagion? Vain
hope! Book at the tyranny fashion
exercises upon the fair sex. All wom
en will tell you that their hat or
their dress is' undomfortable, that
their decollete can be fatal to health,
nnd that their high heels are un;
hygienic. But they would not give
them up for anything, so long as
fashion decrees that they shall wear
them.
How then can you expect that men
—sons of the daughters of Kvc—
shall ever be free from the mental
and hereditary contagion?

BULLETINS BY THE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
THK EVOUTIOX OP FIKK FIGHTING
The passing of the fire horses
from Manhattan Island and the in
stallation of a high pressure water
system in Boston to eliminate even
the fire engine are further steps in
the stage of progress from the ro
mantic days of the picturesque old
hand-tubs,” says a bulletin from
the Washington, D. C., headquarters
of the National Geographic Society.
“Some remember when citizens
tricked themselves out in red shirts
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front of a procession or form
ed part of the bodyguard of the gal
lant old tub as it paraded the
streets on a gala occasion. Then
passion for fire fighting ran to a
high pitch and arguments were
waged about the merits of partic
ular engines. Today the throbs of
a motordriven engine are taking
the place of those heart throbs.
The horses that might have clat
tered from their stalls, glided be
neath their harness, and raced glo
riously through the drizzly aight
darkened streets before the lire
spitting demon are drawing farm
wagons or plowing the fields.
”ln those days communities were
dependent upon volunteers, and
men from all social ranks gave
valuable time to qualify themselves
for the service.
“Fire fighting in some sort of or
ganized form is ancient. Ma
chines for throwing water from a
distance were known, according to
our first clear evidence, in the sec
ond century before Christ. Heron
of Alexandria, two hundred years
before the Christian era, in an old
manuscript which has escaped de
struction, described an hydraulic
machine used in Egypt during the
time of the Ptolemies. It was com
posed of two brass cylinders resting
on a wooden base with pistons fitted
into them—in its principles practi
cally like our present engine. Like
most other knowledge, this was lost
in the dark ages which followed.
"The Ron«ns had squads of men
port and maintenance of the same.’
This ordinance states in its pream
ble that ‘In all well regulated ci
ties and corporations, it is custom
ary that fire buckets, ladders and
hooks, are in readiness at the cor
ners of the streets, and in public
houses for the time of need.’ Im
agine the modern Manhattan so
equipped! Buckets hung out on
Broadway corners would in num
! ber run close second to the bulbs
| on its electric signs.
“Boston had the first regular fire
company under municipal control
In this country in 1678. Before this
date, however, the sturdy Boston
ians had buckets and ladders in
their meeting house and Imposed a
penalty for their use except in the
case of fire.
George Braithwaite, an English
man. first conceived the steam fire
engine, which so definitely marked
the next stage of progress in fire
fighting. Scoffers jeeringly called
his invention a ‘steam squirt,’ and
•kitchen stove,* but it came to stay,
unless such steps as Boston’s inno
vation in installing a high pressure
water system drives it into a ro
mantic past.”

where It was projected onto the
lire by those in charge of the ‘si
phones' or hand pumps. The pre
cise nature of this instrument has
not been determined, but from
specimens found in excavations it
must have been much like the old
fashioned syringe used by garden*
ers. These large organizations, of
men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. Tra
jan, the Roman Emperor, and
Pliny, at that time one of his, gov
ernors, had long and serious cor
respondence over the advisability
of organizing fire departments in
the cities under Pliny's jurisdiction,
leading to the conclusion that such
groups would attain sufficient
strength to be a menace to the gov
ernment.
"Mention is made of the medieval
use of forcing pumps as fire engines
at Augsburg in 1518. England and
the countries of the continent were
using hand squirts and syringes at
this time. America took her ideas
from the English adapting them to
her peculiar needs. At first the col
onists were content with preventive
measures, but these scarcely had
any effect upon the chimneys, built
of wood, generally used by the
early inhabitants.
“Before the English flag flew over
Manhattan an old Dutch ordinance
directed the burgomasters to de
mand from every house money for
the purpose of ordering from the
mother country leather fire buckets,

If you have blue eyea, broad
head, narrow brow, long chin, firm
mouth and prominent nose—
Then you have the typijal feat
ures of the inventor.
The accompanying composite
photograph of famous American
scientists was analyzed in the cur
rent issue of Popular Science
: -Monthly, by Dr. Katherine Black
I ford, expert in character reading.
The significant features charac
terizing the inventive genius are
the prominent, well modeled nose,
the strong jaw and the peculiar
shape and breadth of the head.
The immediate sign of the inven
tor lies in the long chin and square
jaw, which indicate unsual resolu
tion and tenacity.
The general expression of the
composite face, according to Dr.
Blackford, is that of a likeable hu
man personality. The mouth is sen
sitive as well as firm.
"This typical inventor is not one
to be era|ky or sour, or to fly into
petty rages over trifles. He has
hope, optimism and faith.
"One of the most striking things
about the face is not evident in the
photograph. Practically all of the
men included in the picture are
blonds and nearly all of them have
blue or gray eyes.”
Notice the narrow brows, and
that the head broadens above them
until its greatest width comes at a
point fully an inch above. Note
also the width of the head above
the ears.
It is this feature, chiefly, accord
ing to Dr. Blackford, that stamps
the composite portrait as that of a
scientist of the creative type.

deceased: the corpse was bathed and
if a person of any consequence, the s
body was laid for a time in spices, I
or was anointed with them, swathed ^
In linen bandages and deposited in
a tomb. The mourners went bare
headed and.barefooted, covered their
mouths and kept silence, wore sack

average yield for Florida is about
150 boxes of fruit to the acre or
somewhat less than two boxes to the
tree. Occasionally groves yield 500
boxes per acre in a single acre, but
only the best groves average more

BREATHING
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL
By Bit. It. H. BISHOP
Man is not ordinarily conscious
of his breathing, it has become a
habit, a necessary habit of course.
He does not notice whether he
breathes deeply or not. Most people
do not.,
Many of our most famous physi
cians prescribe deep breathing exer
cises every day, since no one actu
ally exercises his breathing appara
| tus regularly unless he is an athlete
accustomed, to regular feats of en
durance.
A Itussian author, who suffered a
nervous breakdown, found, after re
peated experiments of many aids to
health, that a retired life in the
mountains in which simple deep
breathing exercises taken sys
tematically formed the principal
| part of the program, brought about
i a permanent cure.
Most working people are shut in
doors throughout the day. Deep
breathing is a source of great bene
fit to such people. They should
seize the chance, whenever offered,
to step outdoors and snatch a dozen
or so deep breaths. One would be
surprised how greatly this simple
exercise will offset hours of indoor
living and breathing.
Ordinarily only about one-tenth of
the lungs contents is changed at each
breath. In deep breathing a much
larger percentage is changed, the
whole lung is forced into action, and
the circulation of the blood in the
abdomen is more efficiently main
tained. Thus, too, is the circulation
throughout the body equalized. In
creased blood pressure due to ner
vous or emotional causes is lowered,
also by such exercises.
Breathing exercises should always
be deep, slow and rhythmic and
through the nose rather than
through the mouth.
An Oriental breathing exercise
which insures slowness and even
ness of the breath consists of clos
ing one nostril and inhaling through
the other, breathing out of the first
rostril in the same manner and then
reversing the process. One can tell
whether his breathing Is regular or
not by listening to the slight sound
of the air, as it passes through the
one open nostril.
Muscular exercises are good to
start deep breathing, and it is well
to take the two exercises together.
But deep breathing by itself is also
beneficial if slow.
She Knows After 20 Years.
A cold, even when it has developed
a hacking cough, difficult breathing,
sleepless nights, raw throat and sore
lungs.—even than a cold yields

Mrs. Milton Waite. Box 32. Azalia,
Mich., writes: “I have used Foley’s
Honey and Tar for the past 20 years
and find there is no other cough or

my name.” It gels right at the seat
of trouble. Children like It. Sold

IheTramp
There's a tramp just in
With a battered stack,
With her paint all dingy
And her stays all slack;
Like a tough old harpy
That is drunk on gin
She has wallowed homeward—
There's a tramp just ini.
She is filled with guano
And some wet raw hides,
And the seaweed's growin'
Halfway up her sides,
And she smells to heaven
And she looks like sin.
She’s a hard old hooker—
There's a tramp just in!
She doesn't look romantic
But she is—to me.
For she's been a ploddin’
LTp and down the sea;
When I sorta figure 1
What she's done and bin.
Well, it kinda thrills me—
There’s a tramp just In!
There's a tramp just in
And I saw her come
As she hogged and wallowed
Like a poor old bum.
But she brings in visions
That I dream about.
And—I may be on her
When that tramp goes out!
