 Women Collect Funds
 Turkish women are actively working in anticipation of war and are collecting funds for the Red Crescent society. The foreign colonies also are giving valuable help. The local chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross society has offered to CO., operate with the Turkish Red Crescent and Ambassador Rockhill who is presi-
 
 to the state department at Washington asking for special credit. He has also invited private subscriptions and the as- sstance of the parent society. The rooms of the American embassy are being devoted to the use of mem bers of the colony willing to work at making garments and hospital requisites Mrs. Rockhill is helping to organize and the crew of the United States converted
 yacht Scorpion have been busy the past l few days cutting out garments for the women to sew. Prepare Fleet for Action 1 The war ministry is preparting the Turkish fleet to take part in | the campaign against the Balkan states. Three battleships and two cruis- CTS which had been bottled up by Italian 1 seuadrons have now heen stationed at the mouth of the Black sea in order to l escort an army of invasion to the Bul- l oarian coast This nnove-'ent of the

Daddy Bedtime
o. Lie-a-Bed Makes
An Unexpected
Trip to Elaana

~ ADDY was fond Of telling the children that early to bed should mean
early to rise.
"Once upon a time" said daddy at story time, there VA a small
boy who lived n a cottage att he foot IF a tall mountain. Treesg grow
almost to the foot of the slopes, and people said that the elves still lived in the
wild mountain forests.
"f you get up very, very early you may sometimes see the elves flying
home as the dawn tits the sky, they would say,
"'And whoever sees a n elf has luck for a year II he will say very Quicky
"Ef, oh, eIfn, pray be kind! Leave III fairy luck behind" ~ they would odd.
Little Lea-Bed-his real name wa Benne-laughed when he heard this
story.
Gle laughed SO loud that his grandmother said, TITS a II Ill thing to laugh
1t the fairies o. a night like this
"When Bonnie went to bed he drew the cover up very close about his
head, but it was not long until he snoring.
and then Bonnie thought somebody caught up his bed. He felt it rising,
up, up, through the roof Of the house and OF into the dark night. Then It
went whnTing over the tree tops until at las. the bed was set down in fairy
land.
Bonnie vas afraid to look around, but when he did he wanted tt get right
out of bed and have a good time All around were trees weighted down with
good things to eat, and the most delightful toys were running about.
But a merryl little elf climbed u p att each corner If his bed and whenever
he tried to get up pushed him down again.
1.-THE other elves gathered about in a circle and began dancing and singing:
" Ide-a-bd. hea AIDED, you are a sight ----

When before ten o'clock ~ open eyesn

THAT $4,000.

The New Brunswick Home News
becomes greatly excited over the
fact that the county has been call
ed upon to pay $4,000, the costs
of settling the recent strikes in this
county. 1t points out the fact that
the strikes were along the Staten
Island sound, while "the taxpayers
of a county nearly entirely inland
are expected to pay this as the mat
ter now stands"
But the finland taxpayers are
mighty glad that there are a num-
Der of industries along the Staten
Island sound, when it comes to rails
ing money for county improvements.
BY far a greater part of the taxes
paid into the county treasurer comes
from the section north of the Rari-
tan river and the greater part of
that comes from the cities, boroughs
and townships touching Staten ISL
and sound. The taxpayers north of
the Raritan have been putting mil
lions of dollars into the county II
nually and the southern section,
New Brunswick in particular, has
been getting the benefit. Yet when
a strike occurs among the numerous
and the county is called upon to pay
a paltry $4,000 a great howl goes
up from the county seat.
In spite of the fact that far more
than half of the taxes of Middlesex
county come from that part of the
county lying north of the Raritan
river, the section south has always
received the greatest care and at
tention.
New Brunswick made no COM
plant when the taxpayers of the
county were paying for an excellent
asphalt pavement being laid from
curb to curb on Its widest and hand
: soonest thoroughfare. The county
seat people are even now adyoeat-
ing the county spending money to
buy a site for an armory with which
to beautlfy the city. Yet, when the
county il called upon to spend a lit
tie extra money In that section from
whence most OF the money comes,
the Home News finds fault. The
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-08-01

large industries along the Staten
Island sound have been paying vast
sums of money into the treasury of
Middlesex county to be spent in sec
tons that do them absolutely no
good. The county should not com
plain, therefore, when once in a
while it is called to render a SER
vice such as was the case recently.
The expenditure of $4,000 for
the protection of the plants along
Staten Island sound during recent
labor troubles is a small amount for
the county to pay in comparison to
the vast amount of taxes collected
from these concerns every year and
for which the county is mighty
thankful.

SUMMED

The summer squash is II OF the
strictly summer vegetables and Is
most tasty II well seasoned. Perhaps
the seasoning is the important feature
for a more fiat, insipid vegetable Is
hard to find. A gentleman visiting In
a small place where summer squash
was abundant, expressed his liking fol-
that vegetable; he was SO fond OF 1t
lie remarked that he could never get
enough. The lady with whom he was
boarding said he should be fully salts
fed, as they had an abundance OF the
squashes. The first meal when they
were simply boiled, drained and sailed
and served with no other ~seasonings
convinced him that for once he had
had enough. He decided it was the
s~easonings he liked instead OF the
squash.
One must be lavish with butter in
seasoning this dish or 1t will be unpal-
atable.
Wash and cut In quarters and cook
in boiling sailed water until tender.
Too long cooking spells the favor also.
Then drain carefully and chop season
ing with salt, pepper and plenty OF
butter. Reheat and serve.
A pretty way to serve radishes,
though not new, is to cut them to tm1-
tate tulips. Begin at the root end and
make six incisions through the skin,
running up three-fourths Of the length
OF the radish. Pass a knife under the
sections OF skin and cut down as FAR
as the incisions extend. Place In cold
water and the skin will fold back, Civ
ing the radish the fowerltke appear
ance.
Swiss Chard.-This Ia a vegetable
not halt well enough known. 1t Is easy
to prepare, quick to grow and js most
tasty, cooked and served as one does
beet green's.
Cucumbsrs are another popular sum-
mer vegetable, for the dollhouse va
riety is too scarce and expensive to
tempt the average thrifty housewife.
During the summer a small plot OF
ground will grow plenty for an ordi-
nary family.
Sliced with fresh young onions and
served with French dressing ID one OF
the most popular ways OF serving
them. Mixed with celery. onion and
parsley and stuhing a pretty ripe to-
mato II another we'll liked combina-
ton.

DEMOCRATS AND BATTLESHIPS

~
1t turns out that the action of
the Democrats in Congress in refus-
ing to maintain the standard of the
is true the members are trying to
make it appear so, but it is signif-
cant that the leaders in the opposi-
ton to the battle ship program are
the members who have been disap-
pointed in the pork barrel" legis-
lation. Not only are they not for
saving money, but they want to
spend even more. They are willing
to agree to the battleship program,
it seems, If they can be assured of
money to erect public buildings in
the various towns and villages in
their respective districts. Because
those who are really sincere in their
effort to save money will not agree
to this, the others are determined
that there shall be no money for
b%attleships. Thus the future of the
Democratic party is threatened.
While America loves peace, the
great majority of people are deter
mined that the nation shall main
tain her position among the powers.
The congressman who ~disregards
this public sentiment will hear from
the people in no mistaken terms the
next time he appears before them.
In the meantime it is to be hoped
that there is enough patriotism left
in Washington to overcome this sell
fish group OF Democrats who are at
present acting as stumbling blocks
In the nations progress.
Even a compromise ON one bat
tleship this year is not sufficient.
The United States is the richest ma
ton in the world. We maintain
that we are the greatest and We
want to always be In q position to
prove that we are. Congress cannot

NON-PARTISAN EXCISE BOARD.

The idea suggested by the Demo-
cratic leaders that a non-partisan
excise board be named in this city
this fall to be Endorsed by both po-
litical organizations, is an excellent
one provided the right kind Of men
will consent to take the office.
The duties of an excise commits
sioner are not easy by any means,
and should a man go into the board
with the determination to do what
he considers absolutely right for the
welfare of the city, he will have a
hard time of it. We believe, how
| ever, that there are men capable of
filling this Office with credit, and the
EVENING VIEWS, with a great MA
jority of the people of this city,
would be glad to see such men elect
ed.
One of the best things ever lone
for Perth Amboy was the nomina-
ton of a no~n-partisan school
board, thereby taking the public
schools out of politics. But manag-
ing of schools and handling the sa-
loon problem are two entirely differ
ent propositions. The schools deal
mainly with children, on the other
hand the saloons deal with a class Of
men who are often times the most
interested in politics. In few places
has the attempt to sever the saloons
and politics been successful. If
Perth Amboy can accomplish it the
city will gain a reputation that will
| attract attention everywhere. Such
an advertisement would be an ex-
| cellent thing and should, if posi-
BILE, be brought about.
AS the Democratic leaders of the
| city are the ones who are urging
this non-partisan idea it remains for
them to suggest a set Of names
whom they deem satisfactory fof a
non-partisan board. When the sub
ject is preached to Republican lead
ers they invariably say they want to
know who will represent the Demo-
cratic party. If the Democrats are
sincere in their agitation along this
line, and they give us every reason
to believe they are, we would sug-
gest that they advance a list of
names as a preliminary step toward
getting together with the Republi-
can leaders for the Endorsement of
a .non-partisan board. We are salts
fed there are five men in this city
who would handle the excise affairs
with credit to all and this does not
mean that Perth Amboy would be-
come a dry town by any means. .---
