DROCEEDs from a card party the
Travellers Club of Roseville will
hold tomorrow afternoon at the
residence of Miss Sophronia Anderson,
612 Mt Prospect avenue, are to be de-
voted to the endowment fund of the
New Jersey State Federation or
Women's Clubs, following the suCges-
ton of the prosperity committee of the
State organization asking the clubs to
contribute to this fund by holding an
entertainment during the club year.
Mrs. Benjamin F. Hurd is chairman
of the arrangements of the affair. and
will be assisted by Mrs. Arthur Dick
inson and Mrs. George Scull. There
will be eight tables In play.
An appeal has been made through the
department of sociology of the New
Jersey State Federation of Women's
Clubs to arouse interest in the Georse
Junior Republic, at Remington. The
George Junior Republic for boys and
girls was opened on April l. 1910, at
Flemington Junction. The farm, on
which a substantial stone house and
out%buildings are situated, comprises
about eighty acres. and is the generous
gift of the Lehigh Valley railroad. The
house has been comfortably furnished
by the Woman's Club of Orange, and
n of the buildings, a large barn, a
been remodeled and is used as a dormi-
tory for boys and as a school room for
the boy citizens. Seven years ago the
State Federation became interested In
the George Junior Republic at Free
Vile, n. Y, and established several
scholarships. Each scholarship amount
ed to $3.50 a veal and entitled the Fed
GRAFTON to send n boy or girl for a
year. During these years one, and at
times two boys, were sent by the Fed
Grafton to Freeville. In order to main

fetal umpire-several close decis-

opposing sides being left to the

self with a loaded half for the oc-

the house would settle all ques-

IN this country approximately
70 per cent of the total govern
mental income is spent on wars
and preparations for wars, while
the remaining 30 per cent is de-

peace, but it compares favorably
with expenditures of other nations

whether, in the light of past exper-
