LET LEGISLATORS
FIX A 'CAOY" DAY

xyyas our able Assembly, and Senate too,
n their next session kindly establish a
dnte when 1t will be legal for men 20
wear straw hats? Some may deem 1t I'M
necessary. but. dear reader, rest assured
that 1t is ~all-important. The question np
toanow has led to several feuds, aud no
one benefits except the straw hat dealer
and the Made. in Newark sign.
One of the little incidents which re
suited seriously for one young man hap
peued last night, when a handsome dam
sol and her admirer were on their way
b. the. exposition. They were in an
Orange. street trolley car.
aWhy. dear said he, 81 bought my
new straw hat today. but on account 81
the damp weather viii wait until tomor-
row to wear it
II think II absurd to get a straw bat
NOW, my dear. because June Is is the
Gate for wearing them" said she.
"oh, now answered the gent, II saw
q sign in the hat store which read, Get
Your Straw Hat Before May 49,"
Well, the argument lasted for several
blocks. and then the woman pushed the
car button after telling her escort th9t
they were no longer friends.
Therefore, kind legislators. please lett
have n law that may prevent the blight

At LAST A REAL
MOSQUITO KILLER
Newark Man Uses Vacuum
Cleaner Attached to
Lawn Mower.
AT last 1t has Camel

last II has came.'
What? Haven't you heard about it?
Why. there Is now nearly ready for the
p%estered New Jerseyltes an invention to
abolish the mosquito which makes the
summer months so uncomfortable. Here
1t is:
Arthur Bingham, of the down Neck"
section noticed that mosquitoes habi-
tated the tall grass in front of his home
after leaving their abode In the swamps
Thinking that the vacuum cleaner could
be brought into play for this outdoor
sport, which the legislature recently de-
cided to pay an enormous sum for. Mr..
Bingham, who is a meehanie. did some
more thinking.
He figured that the suction from the
vacuum cleaner, applied to a lawn mower
would take in the mosquitoes lurking
ON the lawn.
Inc mechanic experimental with the
idea and found that 1t worked better
than his fondest expectations. Not only
were the mosquitoes taken In" in every
sense of the word, but the process also
deprived them of their singing d
sites n left them deader'n door nails.
Then another thought came to Mr..
Bingham. Great public benefits result
from his thoughts, so close attention is
paid TO them. He invented a scythe.
very SHARP unlike a safety razor, and
attached it to his Bingham lawn now
ing. vacuum cleaning and shaving mos
quito killing machine. This knife is TO
make sure that the pests who come in
contact with the Machine are really
killed before they go through the entire
process.
To such a ~fineness is the scythe sharp
ened that 1t takes from the shoulders
Of the mosquitoes their very heads.
knowing that the fang of a mosquito is
harmless without he body Of such ami
NAL, the Importance of this machine can
be realized. It will be some time, how
ever. before the general public will be
taken in" because Mr.. Bingham is
thinking these days and may possibly
concoct n few more attachments which
will mean certain death for any mos
quite which safely passes the scythe,
mower blades and vacuum cleaner. He
may possibly attach a cyanide of potas-
SUM drinking fountain to the machine
and invite the pretty thinks to drink
thereof.

days. The two disappeared from the
home of Mrs. Mortimer C. Seaman.
mother of Mrs. Brokaw, 1880 Pimpton
avenue. the Bronx. where Mrs. Brokaw
had been staying since the closing of
the Elizabeth Trust Company, which
financially embarrassed Mr.. Brokaw.
Mrs. Brokaw is alarmed over the dis
appearance of her husband and son. She
cannot understand why he left her, as
they had had no trouble.
Mr.. Brokaw had suffered business re-
verses that might account for his own
departure. psi. although he was de-
votedly fond of his boy. he was also
very much In love with his. young wife.
Mr.. Brokaw, who was stopping at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel. visited her n
their son every Sunday.
II was about 2 o'clock in the after
noon when he arrived at the Seaman
home May 8. He found his son at play
in the yard. Mrs. Seaman greeted him
and told him that his wife had not been
we'll and was lying down.
When Mrs. Brokaw came on the lawn
neither husband nor the child WAS in
sight. A nelghbor boy told them Buster
and his father had gone to Fort George.
1t was decided in the evening the po-
lice should be notified. The communica-
ton was accompanied by the plea that
the matter be kept secrets After sew
eral days, Mrs. Brokaw was In such a
serious condition from lack of sleep and
constant worry that she had TO have Il
physician. Her condition has grown
steadily worse.

this has further increased the mystery.
He married Mathilde Seaman eight
years ago. They lived for a time in
New York and then went TO New Jer-
sey. About two months ago a new hnan-
cial venture-the Elizabeth Trust Com
pany-was launched In Elizabeth, with

days ago and to cause Raymond Castelo-
nin, tho unhappy bridegroom, to be
thrown into the. Hackensack Jail or the
very eve of his nicely planned honey
moon.
Lattermnn was awakened a few nights
ago by Castelonia, who appeared to be
greatly excited, and told him OF n
fight he had had with a burglar In his
room. The following morning Latterman
missed $50 In cash which had been in
his clothes. For a time the supposed
burglar was blamed for the robbery, then
the victim became suspicious.

METUCHEN's GREAT NEED.

One of our most thriving suburbs today is,
without doubt, the borough of Metuchen. This
place is about six miles away from Perth Am
boy and is so located that it forms one OF the
most attractive spots for anybody desiring to
live outside the turmoil Of the city.
1t is interesting to note that quite a number
of Perth Amboy people have decided to To-
cate there and the real estate men of Metuchen
are taking advantage of the trend in their di-
~rection to urge the advantages Of the place to
the utmost.
We took occasion a short time ago to sup
port the movement in Metuchen for better
train service on the Lehigh Valley railroad, be-
tween that place and Perth Amboy. There is
no doubt that such trolley accommodations as
we have are not satisfactory. But III addition
to transportation facilities, there is another
thing that Metuchen, as a borough, needs be
fore it can hope to draw as many people as
might like to locate in that vicinity. We are
informed that the place is without a sewer sys-
tenn. In these days Of advanced science III
sanitation the town without ewers can hardly
be considered up to date. People thinking Of
moving to Metuchen would do well to ponder
this matter carefully before they decide to 10
cate. Metuchen, if she'hopes to appeal to the
class Of people who delight to live in suburbs,
must make expenditures along this line to
bring about the improvement or she cannot
hope to gain the prestige that her other at
fractions entitle her to.

MORE INTERESTING THAN ELECTION.

It is a matter of much interest to the read
ers of the EVENING NEWS that, during the
few strenuous hours while the returns were
coming in on election night, Woodrow Wilson,
who was the leading candidate for the presi-
dency and whose future career might be said to
have been at stake, was found deeply interest
ed in Frederic j. Haskin's book, 1.-THE Ameri-
to the people of this vicinity as a premium
with the EVENING NEWS.
Any volume that would hold the attention
of d man so vitality concerned III the election
while the returns were being received, must be
something worth while. AS the title page Of
this volume declares, it is a "book to tell
about the federal government Of the United
States Of America, what is required Of the
servants of it's people, from the President
down, and how these officers perform their
services" 1t is this volume, that anybody can
secure from the EVENING NEWS by clipping
the coupons on page 2, accompanied by fifty
cents, that held the attention of President
elect Wilson at a time when all his fellow
Americans were straining their necks in front
of bulletin boards and were worked up to the
highest tension over the probable outcome.
A great many of these books have already
been distributed in this vicinity through the
EVENING NEWS and we are sure that when
it is realized that such a we'll Informed man as
Woodrow Wilson, the president-elect, found
enough interest in the volume to hold him dur
ing the strenuous hours of receiving the cleo
ton returns, hundreds of others will want the
volume as a matter of interest, if not for the
information it contains. Never has a more
valuable book been placed before the people,
and the EVENING NEWS is glad to be able
to aid in good citizenship by offering to the
people of this vicinity this volume at so small
an outlay.

DISCUSSION OF EXCISE AFFAIRS.

Excise affairs are uppermost In the minds of
the people in this city at the present time. A
communication, signed "Citizen," published
in the EVENING NEWS Saturday, shows to
what extent some people will go in expressing
themselves and indicates the amount of
thought that is being given to this vital mat
ter for the city's welfare.
The suggestion of "Citizen," which he so
kindly offers without cost to anyone, is well
worth serious consideration. There is no doubt
that the license question could be greatly SIM
plifed if every license in the city expired at
the same time. This would do away with the
continual agitation that is now before the ex-
else board at every meeting for a renewal.
By having all licenses expire at the same
time the matter could be disposed of at a single
meeting when the entire time could be devoted
to this important question. Once disposed of,
the matter would be off the hands of the ex-
