.DATHHOUSE PLAN
MAKES ADVANCE
Finance Committee Members to
Act on Proposed lronbound
District Building.

A resolution providing for the
establishment of a public bath with
modern equipments in the Ironbound
section of the city was introduced at
the meeting of the finance committee
of the Common Coucil by Alderman
John +. Reilly last night. Alderman
Reilly's motion followed urgent pleas
for the bathhouse on the part of
President John II. Donnelly, of the
Council, and representative of various
organizations. Alderman Patrick A.
O'Brien, chairman of the committee,
was authorized to appoint a commit
tee of three to confer with the Play
ground Commission on the bath
project.
Mr. Donnelly, who once before had
appeared before the finance committee
in the matter, stated that he came not
only as a citizen and an alderman of
the Fifth Ward, but also of the Tenth
and the Twelfth wards, or in other
words he said he came for all of the
"lronbound" district. He also APP
peared, he added, as the chairman of
the board of governors of the John
f. Monahan Association, the members
of which earnestly desire that some
thing be done for the citizens of the
downtown section.
Too long, Mr.. DonnelIy said, had the
lower section of the city been neglect
ed In the matter of having a public
bath which could at once accommo-
date the residents of that section
properly, as well as be of easy reach
for the inhabitants of the three wards
in question.
AS he understood It, there was still
credit of over 100000 for bath pur-
poses, and under such conditions
therefore, the project should not be
further delayed.
Assemblyman-e Thomas J.
Smith appeared. as president of the
East Side Public Bath Association.
Others who spoke on behalf of get
ting new bath for that section were
Mrs. Grace Duryee, of the East Side
Day Nursery; Miss Clara Pengrave
Curtiss. of the Neighborhood House;
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Schlesinger
and Frederick Breidenbach, for the
| lronbound Improvement Association;
| Frederick Zahn, on behalf of the Bal
| bach Smelling Works; John Hanra-
han, on behalf of the Celluloid Com
pany's employees, and Alderman
| Louis Pfeiffer, on behalf of the Tenth
| Ward.
Aldermen Hopper remarked that
the bathhouse would not have to be
as expensive as the one in Montgom-
cry street. where. he stated, a whole
lot of money went into fancy trim
ming.
Miss Curtiss, In answer to this,
said that the citizens of the DOWN
town section want just as fine a bath,
and not alone that, but a general rec
reation centres such as the south
side of Chicago has.
1t was the opinion of those who ap-
peared before the committee that the
bath should be located in the centre
of the downtown section, possibly
near Hamburg place and Merchant
street.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For 80 cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two your hair
becames beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also discover
dandruff is gone and hair has stopped
falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is q. sign of old age, and as
we all desire youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look
years younger.

License Committee Drafts
Form to Govern the Dance
landowners Applications

The license committee of the Com
mon Council last night drafted form
of license application to be used when
the new dance hall ordinance goes into
effect. The applicant is required to
be citizen and to live up to the ordi-
nances and regulations of the various
city departments. A temporary ap-
pointment of a dance hall inspector for
sixty days will probably be made at
the next meeting of the committee.
Another protest against the grant
ing of q license for a moving picture
show at 213-215 Clinton avenue. was
received in the form of a petition
signed by sixty-five residents and
property owners. This was filed with
previously received one. The place
in question has not filed an applica-
ton for a license as yet, as the build
ing will not be completed before the
latter part of February. No action
on the protests could be taken for
this reason.

FREAK SHOWS
ARE CRITICISED
But Alderman Welch Fails to
Get Their Closer ReguIa-
ton by License.

Alderman Maurice H. Welsh, of the
Thirteenth ward, made a futile at :
tempt to put added regulations on
what he characterized freak" shows
at the meeting of the license commit
tee of the Council last night.
In advancing reasons the alderman
contended the only purpose served To-
cally by this class of performances
was to enrich real estate men by the
temporary renting of vacant stores.
He contended the shows were not
Despite the fact that they were pos
sibly a detrinent to the city, he oon-
tended they were given no considera-
ton by the license committee.
This brought quick denial from
Chief Inspector Ward who stated
these shows were under the same
regulations as the moving picture
performances, having to comply with
the city ordinances and pay license
fee of $3.50 per day. They were vis-
tied at times by his inspectors, he
said.
do they know about sickly wopi-
an. probably a consumptive, who is
exhibited because she Is an inveterate
cigarette smoker?" asked the alder
man.
"I couldn't say about that. We
leave the morals up to the police,
responded Inspector Ward.
The alderman then described what
he had heard about the woman's per-
Torrance, which elected expressions
of surprise from the other members.
After the description of "the nicb-
tine fiend" Inspector Ward remarked
he did not believe 1t immoral enough
to warrant the revoking of the Ii
oense and Chairman Frank Diener
closed the discussion by saying: III
she smokes too many cigarettes, that's
her fault. We can't stop It,"

SOLDIERS HOME
NOW A HOSPITAL
Annual Report on Kearny Insti-
tuition Tells Why Expenses
Are Growing Heavier.
DIRECTORS FORCED TO
OBTAIN OUTSIDE HELP
Deficit of $4,000 and Request
for Special Appropriation
for Needed Repairs.
Ispeclsl to the newark start


TRENTON, Dec. 4.-The annual
report of the New Jersey Home for
Disabled Soldiers, at Kearny, was
filed with Acting Governor Taylor to-
day. The report is the forty-eighth
annual one submitted to the governor
of the State.
The report renews a recommended
ton of last year for a supplemental
appropriation of $4,000 to pay bills
which remained unpaid for the fiscal
year and which come in and must be
paid out of the money received this
year. A request for a special appro-
priation of $4,000 for needed repairs
and improvements is also asked to
complete the construction of build
ings, the plans for which have been
submitted to the State architect.
The report in part continues:
The growing age and infirmities
of the old soldiers have made this
institution practically hospital. The
men are unable to scrub floors, wash
\ windows and wait on each other
Outside help should be substituted in
most cases so that they may be prop
erly taken care of. This has been
done in the national homes. The hos
pital quarters must be enlarged and
an intern physician employed. The
payroll will thereby be increased.
This can only be done If we have
an Increase of the yearly appropria-
ton. We ask for $4,000 or about
twenty dollars annually for each
member of the home, and with that
increase the cost would still be much
less than that in other homes.
Economy will be jealousy regard
ed as heretofore; but we must not
economize at the expense of the COM
fort of the members.
We respectfully submit that there
should be special appropriation of
Sl5,O00 to cover needed repairs, re-
newals and improvements of build
ngs, heating apparatus, fixtures,
furniture and roads, and also a sup
Elemental appropriation of $4,000 for
this year, as well as an increase in
the annual appropriation for the
maintenance of the home from S55. 600
to $4,000, and a supplemental appro-
priation of $4,000 for the maintenance
of the home this year"

tanned by the institution in the death

ing the year through deaths and other
causes was PIP, and on October 81
this year there remained 525.
The total disbursements for the
year were $102,736.01. The cost of

Plumbing Thieves Cost
Contractors 100000 in Year

NEW YORK, Dec. A new form
of organized thievery has been dis
covered. For the last twelve months
gang has been operating in new
buildings and has stolen plumbing
fixtures valued at more than 100000.
The situation for contractors be-
came so serious that the department
committee of master plumbers visited
Police Commissioner Waldo on Tues
day and complained to him of the
numerous thefts. Commissioner Wal
do was much interested in what the
contractors had to say, as he had be-
lieved that the average theft of
plumbing had been due to desires of
small boys for money to see moving
pictures He promised that he would
instruct Commissioner Dougherty to
use his best efforts to round up the
thieves.
