WALLPAPERSCRA
TURNED TOACCOUNT
Pretty Pattern Used in Fancy
Work.

The pretty patterns in use just now for
wall paper have inspired some ingenious
person to make use OF 1t In fancy work.
and the scraps left after paper hanging
are turned to good account.
An art waste-basket can easily be made
from stiff cardboard. cutting a square.
pentagon or hexagon for the bottom. ac-
cording TO fancy. This. OF course, deter
mines the number of sides for the bas-
ket; but the worker, according TO her
choice, can make it all OF one size by
cutting the sides parallelograms. or make
1t fare at the top by cutting them trape-
zoids. Cover each piece OF cardboard sep
arately. with a wall paper in chrysanthe-
mum pattern for the outside. showing
shades OF brown and old rose. For the
inside use plain cream paper. Put the
edges together with brown passed. -partout,
or string them together with golden
brown ribbon.
A writing pad is easily made, being
fashioned in the desired size and shape.
from heavy cardboard. Cover the out
side with an Alice-blue ceiling paper
fecked with silver stars, and use white
watered wall paper for the lining. Bind
the covers together with blue or silver
bookbinding, attaching the pad proper
through eyelets with a very narrow fancy
silver cord

Something UsefuI.

It is easy to make from these materials
telephone memorandum that is both
dainty and useful The printed memo
randum pad can be bought at any store
that carries stationery supplies. Fit the
pad to a cover of cardboard, and cover
II on each side with wall paper in a
small rosebud pattern, showing shades
of green and pink against a cream-col-
ored background. Bind the loose leaves
and the outside covering together with
narrow dark green ribbon. and leave the
ends long enough 20 make a neat bow,
besides a loop by which to hang the
pad beside the telephone.
The cover of a five-pound or ten-pound
butter-box makes a very pretty plant
stand, by first carefully painting Il white,
being careful to skip no part OF the wood
except the under side OF the% top. Be
particular to paint every part OF the rim.
Now carefully cover the inside of the
top with wall paper in violet or wis
terra pattern, and 1T glass into the rim,
to cover the paper As the plant will sit
on this glass. The coloring is protected.

The Main Trouble.

That's the trouble with women. They
have no pride. They have so little pride
that in marriage they do not even pre-
sumo to pick out their mates; they have
10 little pride that a good woman con-
Eiders q man with any sort of a past
good enough for her TO marry; so little
pride that wife doesn't demand any
recompense for her work in the home
but her food and clothes, and in business
she will take any kind Of wages she can
get Women have so little pride that In
the churches they will do all the work
and let men do all the bossing, and in

ore. The time to do this is when
the Hebrew solicitors come around
for a donation to their fund. 1t
should be remembered that some of
the most liberal contributors to the
Y. NJ. c. A. campaign were He
brews. The opportunity is now at
hand to show them how much their
efforts are appreciated. AS a mat
ter of pride in the progress of Perth
Amboy, if for no other reason, the
people should see to it that the de-
sired $4,000 is raised for the He
brew Institute building fund. Let's
have the two buildings under way at
the same time. Nothing would better
show the true spirit of Perth Am
boy, and We are sure the city will
be doubly repaid for the effort.

NO EXCUSE, H PROVEN.

The suspension of a patrolman on
the charge of being drunk while on
duty, especially at r time when the
city is experiencing one of the
worst strikes in its history, is a very
serious matter. Any man who has
so little regard for the duty Of a
peace officer at such a time is not
fit to wear a uniform. We do not
know whether or not the man ac-
cused is guilty, but if the charges
should be proven nothing short of
dismissal from the force should be
his punishment.
Under ordinary conditions a fine
might be sufficient for the first Of
tense. But with the circumstances
as they are in this city today, a po-
lice officer who deliberately becomes
intoxicated proves that he has not
the proper sense of responsibility.
1t would be better for him and the
city, too, If he found some other
employment.

AN INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.

Perth Amboy Is now experiencing
one of the greatest industrial crises
in the history of the city. Striking
employees have already tied up five
of our leading industries and there
is no telling to what limit the trou-
BILE will go before peace and quiet is
finally restored. No one can pre-
vent a man, or a body of men, refus-
ing to work if they so desire. Like
wise the constitution guarantees to
every nan the freedom of speech.
The moment they incite violence, or
riosng starts, however, the author
tiles have a right to take a hand and
1t is highly necessary that they do
so for the protection of life and
property.
We do not pretend to say whether
or not the grievances Of the EN-
ployes are justified as there are al
ways two sides to every question,
and it would be decidedly premature
for anyone to attempt to say which
side Is right until both have been
given a fair and impartial hearing.
We do insist that the interest Of
Perth Amboy as a city shall be pro-
tected. The strike already will
cause the city great loss, and hun
dreds of innocent persons will suf-
fer as a result.
Wages cease the moment the men
walk out of a plant and when Sat
urday night m the pay envelope
contains little or nothing. Merchants
are bound to notice the result and
the whole city will, In a sense, be-
come paralyzed, particularly where
so many industries are involved.
The occasion calls for the exercise
of common sense. Under present
conditions it Is practically impossi-
BILE to come to any understanding.
Nothing is to be gained by lettering
about the corners, preventing men
who desire to work from entering
he plants, rioting and wrscking

is but n effective way to stop vio-
lence during a strike and that is to
stop it. A prompt and decisive
show of force is the most sensible
as well as really the kindest policy.
We were in hopes that such a
show of force would not be necessary
in Perth Amboy at this time, but
when the strikers attempt to take
the law in their W hands strin-
gent measures must be taken at the
first sign of trouble. In the coun-
| tries from which many of the strik-
ing laborers come. disorder is
quickly suppressed. In this country,
however, these men find conditions
very different. The people will not
tolerate the Cossack methods of
Russia, and the police are often long
suffering. The result is that at first
| only warnings are given. The strik-
ers misinterpret these and, finding
themselves still at liberty, grow
bolder.
By a prompt show of force and a
determination that assaults and de-
structiOn OF property shall not take
place, the strikers can be kept well
in hand. If the local police force is
not sufficient it should be augment
ed by specials so that when lawless-
ness starts the authorities Can act
quickly and effectively. In the mean
time 1t Is to be hoped that wise u
sci will prevail and the men will be
shown the folly of listening to the
talk of dlsinterested agitators who,
| of late, have made it Il business to
travel from place to place setting up
as much discord as possible in in
dustrlal centers.
Perth Amboy Is q city that can
not afford to have Its reputation
completely ruined by men who have
absolutely no interest in our future
progress. We have not yet fully
got over the effects OF the strike in
the tireproofing plants when the
state militia was called. This mat
ter Is frequently referred to by out
eiders and 1t has given many people
an unenviable impression Of this
city. We went to live down this i'm
preston, not confirm it. For this
reason 1t Is to be hoped that Perth
Amboy will be spared any serious
trouble and that the men will be
persuaded to return to their work
peacefully and take up their griev-
ances with their employees through
| more satisfactory channels.

THE Y. NJ. H. A. CAMPAIGN.

Another campaign for a cause
equally IS worthy as the one which
has Just closed so successfully, as
far as the public is conce"ned, is
about to be started in this city, This
time it is the Hebrews who will en-
deavor to raise 5000 for the He
brew Institute which they propose
to erect here. That there is
here for a hourishing Y. NJ. Fl. A.
as well as a y. NJ. C. A. no one can
doubt. There are hundreds of YOUNG
men to be cared for and the two in
situations can work side by side with
their one great object in view
clean lives for the young men with
a chance for a physical, moral ami
mental development, and for the up
lift of the entire community. 1t
makes no difference what name an
institution bears, as long as its prin-
ciples are right, 1t is deserving of
the utmost support. Perth Amboy is
fortunate In having two such organ
izatlons as the Y. NJ. C. A. and the
Y. NJ. II. A. Activities along this
line show that the city is wide awake
to its opportunities and possesses
the right kind of material to make
the most of these opportunities.
As we said in commenting on the
result of the Y. NJ. c. A. campaign,
we zone of us know what we can do
until we try. When it was announc-
cd that it was proposed to raise
$35, 900 in nine days among the citi-
zens of Perth Amboy, nearly every
one had their doubts and not a few
declared 1t was impossible. 1t was
done, however. and many have not
yet recovered from their surprise.
Now the Hebrews are going to see
what they can do. Thus we inspire
one another to do things we had not
dreamed Of before. The Hebrews,
however, have been working for
their institution for a long time and
they have met with remarkable sue
cess, combining their efforts to prac-
tically their own members, They
have already raised $1,000 in this
way and have purchased q most de-
sirable site. The Y. NJ. C. A. Will
be erected close by so that both in
situations will be the better able to
work In harmony In the common
cause.
The Hebrews are asking for only
$4,000 more at this time to COM
plets their plans. They should get
this. Those who have already con-
trfbuted to the Y. M. O. A. have Just
learned what they can do. The
poorest of US can always strain an
other notch and do Just a little bit
