and Frank Weber, two Holmdel

scene they saw portrayed in NOV

search for two months.
The film showed detectives tricking
criminal into a confession of his
crime and when the lads saw an
ex-employee of a neighbor. whose
home had been robbed shortly after
the mans discharge, they got an in
spiration.
They followed the man to a lonely
spot, seized him and told him he was
under arrest for theft. The fellow
broke down and confessed he had
stolen $25 from his ex-employer.
Taken to the police station, the
prisoner repeated his confession to
the police.

Fthe members of the Board of Street

egineer Charles Van Keuren and Hugh
Kelly. of the City Plan Commission,
the latter taking photographs of
4many points at which the water is
polluted.
That there is serious danger be-
cause of the sewage that empties into
the Roekaway River at Roonton,
Dover and other points along the wa
stershed was admitted by all of the
: officials and it was the unanimous
opinion that immediate action would
have to be taken to purify the water.
A. new chlorine gas publication
plant has been installed at the drill
mill in Dover at a point where the
water from a brook runs into the
Rockaway. This was inspected close

we'll pleased was the State Board of

1t is simple contrivance and can
be operated at little expense. If the
plant proves satisfactory similar ones
will be installed at other points in the
Watershed district
Z Commissioner Doody was surprised
that there should be so many sources
nf pollution, and he thought the State
Board of Health should aid the city
in stopping the factories from empty
ing sewage into the river. This
phase of tho matter Dr., Fitz Ran

At the. gate house near the reser-,
voir, where the water is treated with
chemicals and thus purified, there is
a lack of proper attention at night,
the only person on duty from p. m.
until a. m. being the Waterman.
This surprised DR.. Fitz Randolph, as
1t was apparent that in the event of
a break in the machinery millions of
gallons would pass through into the
pipes without having been purified.
All the officials agreed that the
only hope for pure water for Jersey

MILADY CAN CHOOSE
HER EVENING GOWN
WITHOUT VEXATION

TantaliZing loneliness in daylight
fragile mediocrity in the evening! Dis
appointment, tears, despair! This has
been the experience of nearly every
woman who purchased an evening
gown Under usual conditions.
There is another way nova way
devised by the most intelligent Cos
tumerS-and Milady's smiles are those
of complete satisfaction. She enters
delightful room, decorated in the pc
Rod when beauty reigned supreme, and
loses all veXatious thoughts before she
begins to choose her gown The mir
rored panels reflect her gown in its en-
tirety and the white woodwork with it's
chaste touches of gold make the re-
Election pleasing. The indirect light,
shed from an ample inverted bowl of
white and gold, gives Milady in the
noon of day the ball room effect of her
gown.
French it is, and that is all that need
to be said of this dainty room in white
and gold and old rose. The gilt chairs
upholstered in old rose brocade. the old
rose velvet carpet, the large white and
gold Chiffonier containing the lovely
evening gowns exert a subtle fascina
ton before the gowns themselves ara
produced
This little room is at Rich's, and they
take justitiable pride in the solution Of
a difficult problem.
