What do you make of it?" asked
the friend.
ITS like a friend of mine named
Jackson" replied Mr.. Lane. Jack
sons wife had habit of thinking up
little odd jobs for him to do on his
day off, so he concocted a scheme by
which he should be sick on his day
of rest.
Everything went well until after
dinner and he was allowed to stay
in bed. Early in the afternoon his
wife entered the room and asked him
if he didn't feel little better.
NO" he answered, I'm a sick
man; too sick to go puttering around
the house, putting on screen doors
and other such things"
1T isn't that, dear" she replied,

PAT .SILENCED THE PRIEST.

Father Xavier O'Hanlon of Dubu-

borer on the railroad rather got the
better of him the other day.
The laborer, one of Father Xavier's
parishioners, was laying sleepers un-
der the superintendence of an Ital-
ian, and the good priest smiled and
said
well, Pat, how do you like having
an Italian boss?"
Pat smiled back as he answered:

BANNER BILL
At PROCTOR'S

Two classy sketches and a song
and dance turn" comprise the bill
for the first half of the week at
Proctor's theatre, and the popularity
of the playlets have aroused SO much
by that popular management that
the playhouse was crowded on Mon
day and Tuesday evenings, and bids
fair to welcome another large turn
out tonight, from all accounts. Ey-
cry first nighter" agrees that the
bill Is by far the best that has been
presented at Pr~octor's theatre in sew
eral months.
OF chief interest is the little play
let known as THE Watch" has a plot
which foils the best of them. The
lead is played by Charles w. Bow
ser, who presents the company, as
sisted by Douglas Barr, Jean Barry
and Nine Mureal. The sketch Is a
complication, very hard to explain,
and chronic t~heatregoers r. urged
to attend tonight and get a glimpse
of this Offering.
The song and dance act, presented
by Holmes and Wells, Is laughable
as well, but the other sketch, "Lit.
tie Mother" easily takes second hon.
ors. 1t presents in a clear idea, the
life of a hayward son, who sud
denly reforms and declares his in
of assisting the Little
Mother" in building the next new
home on a sound and stone founda
1t Is a clever sketch and bears
promise of big time"

CIVIC UNION
IS ORGANIZED
Peter A. Peterson's Ideas
Promulgated Last Night.

Twenty-Five men, who say they de-
sire better excise conditions In Perth
Amboy, met last night in Dana hall
at the call of Peter A. Peterson a
local attorney to form a civic Union,
with the avowed purpose of clean
ing up the city as pertaining to ex-
else matters" MFR. Peterson was
elected temporary chairman, and
made a lengthy address in which he
outlined the need of such an organi-
cation and the field 1t will be re-
uuired to over. h. p. Steiner was
elected temporary secretary, and
these officers will probably be named
permanently at a later date. The
meeting adjourned to await the call
of the chairman, who said another
session will probably be held next
week.
In discussing the policies of the
union, Mr.. Peterson explained that
he is not ~arousing this sentiment for
personal or private reasons, or as q
means of attack upon the present
Board of Excise Commissioners. In
reference to the latter, he said:
I'VE will not delve into the past;
we will try to look after the future
Mr.. Peterson believes that the mum
Der of saloons can be lessened, and
NO decrease in the ctty's revenue
noted. The union does not pro-
pose to make a "dryY town out Of
Perth Amboy, But to better the ex-
listing conditions. He appointed the
following, in conclusion, to act as the
publicity committee: D. w. Boehm,
Wilbert Healey and c. C. Mason.

PUBLIC OPINION

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
y There are, I believe, about 1,3OO
subscribers to the New York Tele-
phone Company In Perth Amboy, and
probably not less than 500 more In
South Amboy, Woodbridge and
Roosevelt. 1t is safe to say that in
the entire number n.ne out of ten,
when CALLED, will answer Hello" In
stead q. giving his or her name, or
the name of the firm or corporation
whose number has been called for.
This senseless habit necessitates, as a
rule, the question: WHO Is that?"
or "Who Is this?" thus wasting
several seconds of valuable time.
There are very few, in this city at
least, who answer properly. One
ri Iasing instance Is that of the tel
ephone' office itself. Another Is the
Western Union operator. Some OF
the operators In the offices of the
I great industrial plants do it, and
sometimes the Adams Express agent.
But nearly always one gets that silly
and unfnforming Hello" The tel
ephoe people have often urged the
adoption by their customers of thfn
simple, effective and ~time-saving
method of answering a call. In fact,
part of the company's literature is
devoted to emphasizing this very
point. Identity yourself" says the
company's useful booklet. "If an
swertng the telephone for your com.
pany Tor FIRM aswer: BLANK ant
Company" Or If you desire to bt
known personally. add: MFR. Jone'
talking" Or again, if it be your In
dividual line, nswer This is Mr.
Jones talking" BY answering thu
telephone call in this manner 20,
save time, and furthermore, you
avoid the common Hello, who ar
you?"-an inquiry which frequent
ly provoked cross questioning an
possibly Ill temper"
Get the habit of answering prop
erly, as suggested above. And ge
out of that -exasperating habit o
saying, Hello" every time the bel
rings.

DRIVER
is FINED SIT

Found guilty OF reckless driving
after his Overland touring car had
collided with a rig Of the Perth AM
boy City Market at Smith and Pros
pect streets Sunday afternoon, John
Koenigsreuter, Of Elizabeth, has been
fined $40 by Recorder Kehoe. AS
told yesterday, he was given a hear
ing In police court Monday night and
after being found guilty was released
in the custody of Albert ]. Bender,
of Elizabeth, his counsel. The re-
corder has notified the lawyer of the
decision.
Much interest was centered in this
case because Of the popularity Of the
accident and the bearing the crimi-
nal complaint would have on a civil
action. A civil action or perhaps two
counter suits may be brought. Both
the rig and automobile were dam
aged and each party claims one ran
into the other.

PLENTY WATER
IN SHORT Time
Commissioners Discuss Re-
cent improvements at Runyon

The yield of water at the Runyon
pumping station is. being increased
constantly to such an extent hat the
Board of Water Commissioners hopes
to have an over-abundanCe in the
course of a short time to insure
enough for most any kind OF an
emergency. The increase in yield Is
being made by improving old wells.
It pea unlikely at this time that
more new wells will be driven.
The subjects of needs and i'm
provements at the city's pumping
station at Runyon, especially the
construction of more wells, was dis
cussed at length at a committee ses-
sion of the Board of Water Commits
sioners last night. Chief Engineer
Joseph Cottrell was present to give
information concerning the water
works. Although 1t was not abso-
Iutely settled the impression gained
from the commissioners was that
there are enough wells at present,
taking into consideration the refresh-
ing wells 0 In use.
Old wells that lack the proper
yield are pumped into in efforts to
clean the screens Of sand and other
obstruction. In event hal method
fails the we'll is drawn up and a new
screen inserted. The pipe is then
replaced in the ground and the well
usually seems as good as new. This
work is now being done by means of
the city's own we'll driving appara-
tus. The process requires about
two days and sometimes a little
longer. 1t usually insures at least
double the yield of the wells.
