BIG SHOOT is
BEING PLANNED
Gun Match at Morgan on
Fourth of July.

One Of the most interesting gun
matches ever shot off in this city or
vicinity will be staged on July 4,
at Morgan Station, IL the plans of
the gunners do not miscarry. VIII
liam Hartmann, of eye Olde Spye
Inn,' of Morgan, known along the
entire Jersey coast, has posted $25
as q side bet that he can defeat
Antoine Cerbo, of this city, at one
hundred blue rocks. AS said, the
match will be staged on July, Wealth
er permitting, for Cerbo has called
"BilPs' challenge and has covered
the Iatter's coin by placing twenty
five iron men in the hands of Patrick
Rocks, chief Of the fire department
of this city.
Hartmann has a reputation as a
marksman, especially among the
members of the Perth Amboy Gun
Club. He's good. and no mistake.
Cerbo came here from South Jersey,
where he competed in several match
shoots with fellow members Of the
Ocean County Gun Club, winning the
title of champion. OF late, however,
his hand Is less steady from want of
practice and he will shortly begin
daily saliies upon the blue rocks in
preparation for the Hartmann shoot.
Not only will the wager go to the
winner, but all expenses-you know
the kind re1ished On a hot summers,
aftaTnoon-wili be borne by the de-
feated niInrod. ,

AT
HIGH SCHOOL
Pitchers Out and Show
Good Form.

Practice for the high school base
ball pitchers was held several after
moons last week in the lowest por-
ton of the new annex which has not
until the present time been used for
anything. Walter Schilke, who halls
from Matawan and who said early in
the season that he would try to win
pitching honors onethe varsity team,
warmed up several times. Schilke's
pitching impressed those who saw
him perform and he will very likely
be n of the slab artists. The Mat
avian boy is a southpaw and besides
having a speedy ball, he also has a
fine curve and out-curYe. His speed
and form is more praised than his
slants. He will probably be a great
factor of the high school baseball
squad this season.
Lies" Spencer and Nathan Gold
berger must also be given a word of
praise for their form which they dis
played in the few practice afternoons
last week. The fact that Lies" has
practiced throughout the winter
jcouid jbe easily seer from the man
Iner in which he controlled his I'M
derhand ball. This peculiar throw
has many times puzzled some of the
best high school batters and the only
thing Spencer lacked to this ball was
control. BY his performances in the
annex he showed that he has finally
controlled this delivery.
Nathan Goldberger proved that he
was in the running for the mound
Itoo. Not only did he show control
and speed, but also several slants.
I"Goldy's" big slow ~out-curve was
working fine. With Schilke. Spen-
Ger and Goldberger on the sale5dvwttaass

New Orleans Feels Safe.

New Orleans. La, April 9-The Mis- sissippi river reached the flood stage, IS feet, at New Orleans, at o'clock tonight, showing two-tenths of a foot rise since o'clock this morning. The crest of the flood is estimated to be at least 700 miles north of New Or leans and is not scheduled to reach this city until May 1. when the weath- CT bureau predicts the gauge here will register 21.5 feet, nearly one foot above the previous high record.
 The wash caused by the movement of ocean going vessels slightly dam aged the capping work done on the levees near Poine a la Hache, SO miles north of New Orleans, today, and steps were taken to construct a re- vetment. A large shipment of sacks and lumber was sent to this point to- day. and the government engineers express the belief that little trouble will be experienced in holding back the flood waters. All vessels plying the river south of New Orleans are now limited to a speed of 10 miles down stream and six miles up stream. Weak points in the leyees have been reported at Athertin, Bayou Sa- ra, Lake Providence and Angola, La, where large forces of men are at work constructing reyetments and capping the levees. Tonight the state and federal engineers in charge of the work said the chances were more than even that the levees would hold at these points.
 Day and night patrols have been established along the levees in Lou isiana and steps have been taken to report all weak points to the officials promptly.
 While some apprehension is felt in the vicinity of the towns mention ed there is no feeling of uneasiness in New Orleans, where the levees are four feet above the highest gauge predicted by the government, and from 110 to 200 feet wide.

Scenes of desolation, personal ex periences of privation, and possible extreme suffering, heretofore record ed elsewhere are expected to be re- enacted through the territory affest- ed by today's levee collapse. The ter ritory. however is much more extens- i've; and the devastation, loss of prop. erty, as we'll as expos ure and hunger, will be on larger scaAe than has been recorded in the recent Tayages of the river.
 At least 40 per cent of the flooded section is fine farming land, only a small part of which, however, had been planted. The effect will be to retard preparation for crops, but the actual crop loss will be small.

 A pretty woman may enhance her beauty and plain woman become good looking by the proper care of her hair.
 Nice hair, pretty hair, growing on the head it adorns, is one of natures greatest beautifiers.
 The kind of hair which always makes us look the second time, fol- lows the use of Newbros Herpicide, and is possible for every woman. Regular applications of Herpicide kill the hair destroying dandruff germ, keep the hair from coming out and add to it that luxuriance, snap and luster which are essential to hair beauty.
 Newbro's Herpicide is the original scalp prophylactic, All other hair rem edies claiming to kill the dandruff germ are simply trying to trade upon the reputation of the genuine Herpi- eide.
 Applications may be obtained at good barber shops and hair dressers. Send 1Oc in postage to The Herpi- eide Co.,, Dept. R., Detroit, Michs for sample and booklet,
