, As tho lady member talked one could
ot resist n glnnre nt the three union
did girls and then a good, long Inn'
at their attractive mother. She was
drceacd in a blue serge gown, the hot
torn of which was beautifully cmhroid
red in henna and Alice blue and gold.
Ilennn fold added n touch of original
Uy to the neckline. A smart blun
beaver hat sat gracefully mi the nv
blonde hair and n luxurious soul coat

Sirs. Van Ness laughed when ome
one told her she was a "wonder."
"Why, it doeim't take any more time
titan plnjing cardt in the iiftertinnn or
gifting away on pleasure trips over th(
Weak-end," Mie said. "You kee, I have
my house regulated. All of the girls '
vtxx cook nnd ro cnu Mr. Van Ncs I
believe home ought to be the center of
a woman's life, but not the rirtum .
ference of it."
When asked what hn thought the
fitting of women in itatc houses would
do for women. Mrs. Van Nest. ald We
did not bollevo in class legislation I
htUove it is tho teamwork between
men and women that is going to giu'
rounded out legislation for all "
At this point in the journey the con
ductor came along to collect tickets.
Proudly this brand-new 1'ortla drew
forth a very feminine looking pocket
book nnd displayed her brand-new leg
islative rnllroad pnr-s used for the first
time today.
"You si'C " he pointed out, "it says
'Mrs. Jennie Van Ness' , that's what
I have to be up there Ju6t n woman. I
want to show you something ele, too.
This time a very official keyring,
with the name J. C. Van Ness was
displayed. "That came from the state,
too,, and this key is for the double
.locker that was put in specially for the
lady members."
Mrs. Van Ness will introduce n bill
making for equal guardianship for chil
dren in the legislature today. She has
found out politics not to be crooked, as
sho expected.
"When asked for her opinion on com
ing legislation she said she would prefer
not to make any statements just now.
"I have an Insatiable desire to hear
both sides of erery story "
Just at that moment on important
thing happened The conductor came
through the car and called "Trenton."
He did not. of courso, know he was
paging a new era for women.
But even at that, when the first lady
member stepped from the train to
eagerly greet the nicest man In the
world, tho first she thought about wns
whether she ought to powder her nose
Edwards Advises
Against Blue Law
QMrttnocd from Psx One
Jtoing to the community I there
fere suggest to you thut if such bills
appear tbey be not approved.
Not only am I opposed to any ex
tension or amplification of the Sunday
law for the reasons stated, but I be
lieve it should be liberalized. The dif
lenity inherent in our present Sundav
law la that the sentiment of the people
fa many localities is opposed to its en
forcement, with the rciIt that it bo
Oomes unenforceable at the hands of
grand juries, and it is therefore pub
fiely condemned. This situntion is un
desirable because it breeds u coutempt
ar law, and its results strike at the
tury bate of our system of government.
Favors Outdoor Sunday Itecreatlon
"While the settled policy of the btaf
baa at all times been directed to pre
serving the sacred character of the dnj .
aa one of rest, the necessities of modern
life hare resulted in compelling the peo
ple to take advantage of the jjunda

ktnusemert. Golf playing and driving
On Sunduj are generally indulged iu bv
those who can afford that specie of
recreation but that dues not includt
the vast masses of the people, who seek
ether and less expensive methods of rec
reation. "While I om anxious to preserve the
acred character of th day, I do not
think anything in that regard can b
lost by the enactment of legislation

of our people. This privilege wed not

Heading from left to right, the photograph shows ltuth, tho eldest of the three fair daughters of New Jersey's
lady lawmaker; Jane, the second of tho trio; .Mrs. Jennie Van Noss, of East Orange, who tooli her scat today
ns a member of , tho House of Assembly, nnd Dorothy, the youngest member of the family
cm which may desire to take advan
tage of the provision- of any general
act containing a local referendum."
The governor suggested the creation
of ft special committee of the Senate
and House to confer with him on a
proernm for good roads nnd for tho
conduct of state institutions.
The estimated cost of completed muln
highways up to .Tnnuury 1, 1023, he
ctated. i 5 lO.OOO.(KM), while for the
rebuilding and replacement of bridges
$15,000,000 will be required. Thews
estimated costs added to the $18,000,
000 already spent makes a grand total
of $7:1,000.000.
Referring to state institutions the
governor recalled that a constructive
program covering ten years, with nn
cstltuuted cost of $10,000,000, had been
presented to the 1020 Legislature.
llecituso of the size of the contem
plated expenditures tho governor stated
he thought a definite program should
be worked up by the executive and leg
islative branches of the state govern
ment. Inasmuch as tho state already has
a debt of $10,000,000.
Legislation should be provided, the
governor continued, so that all property
subject to taxation should contribute
preciscl in proportion to the value of
such property. To accomplish this ob
ject he recommended a widening of the
"power of the state board of taxes and
assessment.
Discussing automobiles and their re
lation to stnte roads, the governor said
experience had shown motor vehicle
fee insufficient to keep pate with
maintenance needs and he suggested
that a fair method of determining the
license fco of pleasure cars was per
haps upon the basis of carrying ca
pacify. Motortrucks should probably
be on the basis of weight of vehicle nnd
load ns nt present.
In urging legislation to protect
motherhood the governor suggested un
net bnrrlng nny woman from industrial
employment six weeks before and six
weeks after the birth of her child.
"Further," tho governor continued,
"I might suggest to you a modification
of our labor lawa 10 as to protldefor
women an eight-bour day within nine
consecutive' htwra and a forty-eIgbtk
hour week as applied to Industries now
covered by the tenhour daw, and the
prohibition of night work for women
employes In manufacturing between, 10
p. m. and 0 a. tn."
The State Budget
A1 summary of the budget, showing
the amounts recommended for the
various branches of the state govern
ment, follows: ,,,.., .
"Executive and administrative, 1,
275,101; legislative, $100,083.82;
judicial, $017,005; regulative, $1,711,
525.71 ; educational, $2,0ol,885.71 ;
agricultural, $465,070 j military, $332,
770.28; pension nnd retirement funds,
$46,000; constructive, $511,000; gen
eral, $310,245; special funds, $300,
000: Institutions and agencies, $0,
705.270.04. "The recommended appropriations for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1921.
are $77,073.07 In excess of the total
amount appropriated for the fiscal year
1020-1021, $15,248,114.40."
Governor Edwards took a fling at
stato appropriations made to share
federal funds. "It la a aerious ques
tion," ho sold, "as to how far the
states should ask the federal govern
ment to go In trying to run their af
fairs for them."
Abolition of the Department of Pub
lic Repftrta waa recommended by the
governor. An appropriation of $2700
had been requested for this depart
ment, which Is beaded by Commissioner
William A. Sweeney, Republican, Red
Dank, with three more years to serve
at $2000 a year. The department also
has a clerk at $000 a year. The com
missloncrshlp, rogarded as a sinecure,
was held by a Democrat PTlor to
Sweeney's appointment two years ago.
The governor entirely Ignored the pe
miinr situation created bv the Senate a
failure, on three occasions, to confirm
his annolntments to the state Public
Utility Commission.
The Ttenubllcan leaders, while agree
ing that tho utility board should be
taken out of politics, have reached no
agreement on tne means to do employed.
A 'steering committee" or tne Legis
lature will meet next Saturday or Hun
day In Atlantic City and try to draft
somt definite plan Chat may be Incor
porated Into a bill. One suggestion la to
remoro power of appolntmont from the
governor and give It to the chancellor
nnd the chief justice of the Supreme
Court.
The nouse waa convened at noon by
j'Jpton S. JeSerya, clerk. Assembly
man itowiana,',Csmden, moved omission
of the reading of members' election
certlflcatea. .
Andrew C. DosweU, a master In
chancery and member from Capo May,
administered the oath to Sidney W.
Eldrldgc, Union, who In turn gave the
oath to the other members.
,Aa members advanced by counties to
sign the roll of the House 'they were
applauded by friends In tho galleries.
The demonstration was grestost at
12:20 p. m. when Mrs. Van Ness nnd
Mrs. Laird advanced to the clerk's
desk.
