"A and delicate, so it is quite nat
ura1 that the bride-to-be stocks her
toilet table afresh.
First she wants a delicate sacnet
powder for seeming trunks, bags,
boxes and bureau drawers. A last
ing and yet dainty scent is secured
bv mixing powdered orris root and
any good violet sachet powder in
equal quantities. This is far more
Elusive and pleasing than any floral
scent alone.
An excellent lavender powder for
the linen closet is made by powdering
and mixing ten ounces of dried Law
ender leaves, three ounces of pow
dered benzoin and six ounces Of
cyprus powder, to which you add one
and a half drains of oil of lavender.
This is more lasting than plain Law
ender leaves.

The revised and complete list of

times In this city. William Heck

Cause of Muddy Water.

City Engineer Mason explained to
the water commissioners last night
the cause for muddy and otherwise
undesirable water pumped through
the city mains the past few weeks
and steps were taken to remedy the
matter and also increase the supply.
The engineer explained that about
dozen wells on the north leg Of the
ground storage system were out or
working order, causing decrease
in supply Of about 100000 gallons
a day. He stated the city was re-
ceivlng pond and artesian mixed at
this time, which was undesirable,
and declared 1t was not receiving
enough ground storage, despite the
fact there Is an abundance OF the
latter, there being upwards OF 10O,-
100000 gallons, which need only be
drawn from the ground. After a
lengthy discussion as to the best and
most feasible method Of repairing
the wells which caused depletion,
the subject was referred to q COM
mittee and engineer, with power to
proceed.
Engineer Mason told the board
how brass gauze screens, used to
screen water at the bottom of wells,
had become worn and useless, caus-
Ing sand and stones to block up the
end of wells and stopping the sup
ply. Mr.. Mason suggested we'll
driving apparatus be secured to haul
up the present depleted wells, make
repairs and sink them again. The
proposition of whether 1t would be
better to sink new wells instead of
repairing the present ones was also
discussed at length. The commits
sioners all talked for plan to SO
construct new wells as to enable
them to replace the gauze screens
whenever necessary without remoy-
ing the entire we'll. Mr.. Mason said
the life Of screen was about six
years.

WOMEN TO AID
CENSOR BOARD

Four members of the Woman g
Club are to be added to the Board
of Censors for motion pictures and
posters advertising the same, ac-
cording to motion passed at q
meeting of the newly appointed
board yesterday afternoon. Action
was taken to visit the four licensed
places Of exhibition for moving pic
lures in accordance with a schedule
adopted A general discussion on
the subject, involving the best meth
Cd OF procedure in censuring pic
lures, came up at the session which
was held at public school No. ! from
4 TO O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Chairman Joseph +. Walker presided
and Principal NJ. r. Letter acted as
secretary.
To Visit In Afternoon.
As pictures are changed daily in
local places 1t was decided best for
the censors to visit places as early
as possible in the afternoon or even
ing, as occasion permits. TWO cen
sors will go to an exhibition when
ever possible. Pictures or posters
they term Objectionable must not be
exhibited to the public after termed
so. Proprietors will be notified that
certain kinds of pictures will not be
tolerated and they must thereafter
refrain from exhibiting them. Fail
ure in that respect will cause com
plant to be made by the censors
to the mayor and the license Of the
offending proprietor may be revoked
by that executive.
Adopt Working Schedule.
The present Board of Censors,
comprised wholly of public school
principals, has a membership OF
eight. They adopted working
schedule yesterday whereby Proc
tors Royal, Bijou and Trionix the
atres Will be visited in the rotation
given by the following members:
Misses Emma MacWilliam and A. e

Frank H Lloyd. Thereby Misses
Macmillan and Van Mus will visit
Proctor's theatre first, then go to the
Royal, BijOu and Trionix.
At the suggestion Of the members,
Chairman Walker agreed TO apply to
Acting Mayor Garretson for identi-
fcation cards or slips to enable the
censOrs to enter show houses without
charge, This plan was decided bet
ter than to pay their way IN. for
inasmuch as 1t was considered a
duty to perform rather than pas
time and all the principals were
known, it would be useless TO try and
view exhibitions without the pro
prietOr knowing they were present.
VIII Bar Certain Posters.
In passing upon pictures and post
ers advertising the same, the cen
sors will endeavor eliminate sugges-
tive ones According to their dis
cussion, they are likely to oppose
pictures suggesting divorce. family
dlsruptions quarrels, duels, killings,
murders and the like Some Of the
members are inclined to believe that
warning will be all that is nee
essary TO prevent exhibition OF OBJ
tectionable pictures.
TO Work With National Board.
Acting Mayor Garretson has en-
deayored to make the path OF the
newly appointed Board of Censors
for motion pictures as agreeable as
possible, by having them work after
The National Board of Censorship.
He has given Chairman Walker the
address Of the New York headquar-
ters of the National Board, so that
he may communicate and learn which
films have been condemned by the
national board.
The acting mayor has learned
that pproximately one foot of film
out of each reel, meaning about one
picture out of q thousand. Is turned
down by the national board, 1t Is
his intention to have the local cen
sors supplied with lists of the re-
iected films as they are issued.

Former Congressman Benjamin
F. Howell, OF New Brunswick, has
announced that he will not be a
candidate for a Taft delegateship to
the Republican national convention
at Chicago at the presidential pri-
maries In May. Mr.. Howell had
been agreed upon by the Republican
forces backing Taft In the Third
Congressional District as one of the
strongest candidates that could bex
selected and a petition to that effect
had been circulated, but the con-
gresham. recently returned from
Florida declares that his name was
used in this connection without any
authorization whatsoever. When
asked concerning his candidacy, Mr..
Howell replied: Il am not a candl-
date and have no desire to go to the
convention"
According to John Pfeiffer, of this
city, chairman of the Republican
County Committee, Congressman
Howell's withdrawal from the race
leaves the Taft faction of the G g.
p without candidate tox =
present.
The Roosevelt men are working
harder than ever and now assert
that the Roosevelt majority In this
county will be enormous. They
base their hopes on the following
candidates as delegates: Adrian
Lyon, Of this city. and Charles E. F.
Hetrick, of Asbury Park. The al
ternates will probably come from
Ocean county. Mr.. Hetrick has not
officially announced that he will be
candidate, although strong pres
sure has been brought to bear upon
him by his Monmouth county friends
to enter the campaign.
Several petitions are in circula-
ton in Middlesex county supporting
Judge Lyon. Harry r. Wilson,
president of the Young Mems Re-
publican Club, OF this city, is hand
ling a local petition and reports that
he has experienced no difficulty In
securing signers. Mr.. Wilson Is
considered by many Republicans as
the leader OF that party in this city.

The board decided on this action af-
ter the pipe committee had reported
on the subject and made recommen-
dations that the prayers of petition
ers be granted. This Improvement
will mean the erection Of a number
of houses bordering on the lines af-
fected, according to information re-
ceived by the board. Plans are al
ready under way for a large tene-
ment house to be erected in Bruck
avenue.
The pipe committee also recon-
mended that the new twenty-four-

adopted, and the engineer was In
structed to prepare plans and speci-
flcations for the work, to be received
