machine is costly.

Wise parents who own'machines are brining up their boys , to be bandy around the little home garage. The youngsters early ^ learn to keep the machine taut and trim, and to make all ordinary adjustments. Where a machine is thus nursed along at home, and driven carefully, it ought to be cheaper than the coat of a horse and carriage for a moderate yearly mileage. Farm young people in particular are usually able to handle a machine cheaply, as their daily experience gives them constant practice in making their own repairs and meeting exigencies. The fanner of the future needs an automobile to keep his young folks contented. In the bands of a fellow of enterprise, it ought to more than pay for itself as a business tooL

FRID\Y, FEBRUARY 26, 1915. r PROTECTION FOR THE NEW JERSEY COAST I Recent storms have done such trcmeiijutis damage along the * Jersey coast that the Legislature at Tteutou is begiuniug to e that something more than iudiviilual effort will lie required lard against the future. Two or three laws giving cities and lughs additional authority have been enacted, but these are not The State itself must he'p, sax s tl c l‘hiladelpku> Inquirer. I Jersey lias an able body of men, headed by J. Spencer tb—the New Jersey Harbor Commission is the official titles commission, under direction of the Legislature, has made L It is not yet prepared to ray just what should be done, but nvinced that “ means must be ft und, at a cost within reason, sliding up the beaches. The sand which has been eroded must ! with sand, and it must lie done in such manner as not ^injure other ports of the beach by eroding the sand from them. |ln other words, the sand for building the beaches must be taken i tbf floor of the ocean well outside.” Thi commission realizes that bulkhtads and breakwaters might e placed at once, but they might prove to be just the things that told not be done. And so the commission recommends that a efal Survey and study of the whole coast shall be mad; bv experts d a definite plan reported upon when the information is had. The cost for a ten mouths' study is estimated at about $35,000 'be legislature should not hesitate an instant in nicking the apiropriatiun, for a great deal of the wealth of New Jersey lies in its

Binds.

THE COST OF EYE-GLASSES. Many families felt as if they were being hit in a new place a few days ago, when it was announced that owing to the war, the cost of lenses for eye-glasses had increased from 25 to 50 per cent. Bat this may not affect the price of the completed glasses much, as the cost is in labor. It is to be hoped that this is the case, as the providing of suitable eyeglasses and spectacles is a very considerable

burden on many families.

Wearing spectacles was formerly a sign of advanced age. If old people felt their eyes failing, they were apt to buy of pedlars They would try on varions pairs of spectacles, until they found a pair that seemed to make their eyes fetl better, and buy them on the spot for

a dime or a quarter.

To-day it is generally recognized that wealc eyes need careful examination and measurement by skilled oculists or opticians, and high prices are often paid by people who are at all complicated. Probably a third of the children are now either wearing spectacles or ought to have them. It is quite a responsibility for a youngster to start out with a pair of spectacles that cost bis father several dollars. If the little fellow keeps them on while playing rough games, be is almost sure to get the glasses broken. In that case a fragment of glass may lodge in an eyt and destroy sight But if the little fellow takes them off and puts them in the case in the pocket, the first time he rolls over in a rough and tumble the optical outfit is converted into pancake. It is a bill of expense that our fathers never knew, but often inevitable if one is to give one’s children the best modern care. Poor eyes are such a serious handicap that parents who can afford it grunt and settle the bills

without question.

If yon have not already done so, apply to Irving Fitch, City Jerk, and get the number to go on your house. Then get the .lumbers and put them up. If they are not up by April, they will be put up by the ^ty—and that costs extra.

There need be no fear lor the retailer, provided be is progressive *ud adapts, bis business to the prices theconsuiner is able to pay.

Perhaps also by a little investigation among fanners and farm bureaus, he could find some one who would toiet hiifi have small quantities of food products evert - week , price a little ahead of l hat which the farmer gets from the jobber, which would permit linn to m-11 to the retailer for a moderate Retail business should I r •!< ue in bigger units.

Philadelphia, Feb. 28. 8. L. O'Donnel, chairman of the executive committee of th; associated railroads, seeking support of the grange orgaalxaUoua of Pennsylvania and New Jeracy in effecting repeal of the Full Crew Laws ol those states, baa addressed a personal letter to about 80,00xi farmers, in which be seta forth chief reasons for repeal. Mr. O’Donne! cites the stand Uken agalnat Full Crew measure • by the grangers of Texas, Missouri and New York. The farmers, he aaseru, should halp secure repeal of those lavs In Pannsylvanta and New Jersey, not only because they are fundamentally bad legislation, and as such opposed to good government, but also because tba farmers are confronted with labor problems which such laws make more difficult. “This year.” the letter reads part, “because of the higher prices for farm produce, there is a call for Increased plantings, and the great ot! drawback you have In taking nil • untag c of j'our opportunity Oils year la lack of labor. “The men employed as a result of leae laws have usually come from the farm, naturally seeking the hi ilibr pay which the railroads are obliged to give. "This creation of extra Job* hacalled for tl.c expenditure of over 82.hio a year by railroads In Penn aylvanla and New Jersey, whlrh musi be borne Indirectly by the shipper*. It has Uken away from Uie ruLroad* money which was needed for elimins lion of grade crossings, purchase of refrigerator and stock care, construe Uon of tidings In produi lng territory, and from general development work. “There la no purpose to lay off men whose services are nocossary to ade quauiy man trains: the object Ii merely to eliminate men for whom there Is no real necessity and whom Jobs exist only by edict
