SEVERAL CONCERNS ARE
AFTER SITES IN CITY

Inquiries for sites and manufae-
turing buildings have been pouring
in on the Board Of Trade. 1t seems
that the city is becoming known as
q place of opportunity for manufac-
turers. The concerns If they locate
here, would require probably the ser
vices OF 1000 emloyes.
One inquiry has been received
from tile making company that de-
sires a site of about twenty-five or
thirty acres with good transportation
facilities, located near residential
section of laborers. Another is for a
ladies' underwear mandatory. They
want building with floor space
OF about 60x100. Another plant
from the west wants TO locate here.
They want a building with floor
space of about 100x100. They man
ufacture some kind of machines,
weighing about 1000 pounds each.
The fourth inquiry recently receiv-
ed, is from a southern concern man
ufacturing pants and oyeralls, who
desire to locate some place in which
they can be supplied with 150 to 800
female employees.

families. Mr.. Moore declared that
they were more of unfortunate boys
than young criminals.
He thought the situation was

The boy replied, Hard luck

Though some think that these

logized them in a number of charac-
teristics. He pointed out their in

ambition, which though many times

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality low
ihat colds and coughs get Il foothold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your run down condition againR
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N. G., says: 81 took Finol for a
cbre tic cough which had lasted two
years and the cough not only disap-
peared, but it built up my strength as
well.'
The reason yigSl is so efaiiieeaeilops efaiiiee:a in
such cases is because it contains in q
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elem, nts of cod liver
oil, with tonic, blood building iron
added
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak
aned, run down system.
You can get your money back any
time if Vinol does not do all we say.

MIGRANTS Get
SEVERE SCARE
Recorder Says g Months"
But Changes 1t Later.

Two Camden vagrants known to
the police also as bushmen, beggars,
hoboes, panhandlers and the like
were given the scare of their life
when arraigned before Recorder
Pickersgill this morning. They had
come to police headquarters last
night while in a druken condition to
ask for nights lodging. This was
a violation OF a strict rule of the
hotel "De Luxe" for which the rec
order committed them to the county
Jail for six months each.
The blow almost killed the prison
er5, who gave their names as George
Ryan, of Cherry street, Camden. and
John Clark, of Camden. Ryan re-
peated sorrowfully, six long months,
a hundred and eighty days" Just
then court attache remarked isn't
it fine spring morning." The
"boes" were reminded of the ap-
preaching summer and the doom of
spending the hot sultry months In
jail. They pleaded In pathetic way
promising to run out OF the city
without a minutes delay If released.
Chief of Police Burke came to their
recuse and at his request they were
let go under suspension OF sentence.

SERVANT PROBLEM AS
VIEWED FROM PULPIT

In connection with the sermon on
1.-The Servant in the House." OF the
series of five sermons on THE
Home" the pastor of the PresbyteTi-
an church is armed with expert opin-
ions from many of the ladies of the
Woman's Club, with which to tackle
the serEantgirl problem this Sunday
night. He is not a little pleased that
these women of practical experience
treat the subject as an important
application of the Gospel. Their
theme, he says, might be properly
named The Gospel in the Household
The NEWS, in a recent editorial,
said that Mr.. Colby had gone to the
root of the matter and that "the
time is rapidly approaching when
women will have their say in all af-
fairs that come close to the home"
The pastor has secured a number
of splendid letters from prominent
women of our city. They are exceed
ingly alive to the problem and their
letters bristIe with bright ideas. They
all speak in high praise of the course
in Domestic Science in our public
schools, as great help to the solu-
tion of the problem. The Federation
OF woman Club of the State
brought about the establishment of a
six weeks course in Domestic Science
In Rutgers College.
Of course the opinions don't al
ways agree. One woman says that It
is most helpful to share the ideals
OF the maid and make her, as ii
were, one OF you; but another thinks
this is one OF the mistakes, that the
ideals of the two are different and
they should not expect anything else
or impose the one on the other.
Some object to being made slaves
by the servants in their own house.
Another thinks nothing short of
catastrophe should interfere with the
girls 'stime off,
Two recent articles that have at
tracted considerable attention will
contribute to the sermon; THE Ex-
periences OF a Hired Girl (writtep
by herselD, and The Saints of nv
Kitchen" by Antoinette Hervey.

I'D let them do my washing"
said young sport, after seeing the
pretty employees of the Rag Time
Chinese Laundry" at Proctor's last
night. But when they magically
changed to cunning mattresses in a
chop suey parlor. he said that he
could eat chop suey for the rest of
his life. William e. Bence, who I'M
personated the proprietor OF the
laundry, looked and acted so effec-
lively the part Of Chinaman that
many of the audience thought he
was of that nationality until they
read his name in the advertisements.
Cleverly he initiated their speech and
actions, showing wonderful histrionic
ability. The girls who enlivened the
two scenes with singing and grace
full dancing were; Sylvia Adams, vi
Wan Rose, Dotty Meyer, Frances
Raymond. Harry Pearson and
Thomas Sullivan have parts in the
sketch.
Cody" the lightning artist, with
clever crayon work drew number
of pictures with precision and
rapidly that elicted much applause.
The feature of his entertainment be-
ing his representation on a board
"The Old Kentucky Home" made
more vivid by his singing the song.
Sailors from the deep blue sea are
impersonated by the entertaining
"Jermoe and Walker" who please
the spectators In several lightning

ter comedy. The country store will

Pl lions FOR
EARLY CLOSING.
Want All Stores to Shut
tuesday and Thursday.

An effort Is under way to have
merchants generally throughout the
city close at o'clock on Tuesday
and Thursday nights of each week.
A monster petition is in circulation
10 bring about such a result and the
promoters of the idea are meeting
with complete success. Thus far
many merchants along Smith and
State streets have been seen and
there have been no refusals to sign
the petition. A few have signed on
condition that others in their respec-
tive lines of business will close at
the appointed hour. Business rivalry
is responsible for this, 1t is claimed.
The list of merchants sought to
close on Tuesday and Thursday
nights include principally those deal
ing In clothing generally, shoes and
millinery. At the present time mer-
chants along Smith street, between
State and High streets, and a few
west of State street do close on those
nights.
Merchants circulating the petition
are working industriously In an af-
fort to have the scheme started next
Tuesday. They have met with some
difficult propositions in some In
stances, finding it hard to convince
fellow merchants OF the advantages
of the idea. The most doubtful ones
are those who fear rival dealers will
lounge about their places of business
and sell something on the closing
rights.
1t Is pointed out that the move
ment is benefit to the store keepers
end their clerks. 1t is shown that
nothing can be lost when the closing
is general and the proper announce
ment is sent to local and out Of town
buyers.

PROGRESS At
CREEK BRIDGE
News Man Visits Scene.
Work Shows Results.

II the general public could
have taken the tour of in
spection in County Engineer, A.
B. Fox's new thirty-horse power
automobile out the the Wood
bridge creek bridge, this morning as
did an EVENING NEWS man, they
der which the contractor labors in
completing that bridge. Rapid pro-
gress is being made at present on the
structure, and the southwestern end
Of the southern concrete abuttments
will be finished today. The work Is
under the supervision of George
Thomas, of Perth Amboy, who is do
ing the work for the bondsmen Of
Contractor Monaghan, of South Am
boy, who originally had the contract
but whose slowness caused the Board
of Freeholders to remove him.
Monaghan only completed the pre-
liminary work, such as removing the
old supports of the ge and driv-
ing piltng for its temporary main
tenance. The real crucial operation
is now being done; that Is the con-
crete structures on which the bridge
will finally rest are now under way.
The procedure IN building these on
the edge of the tidal stream is very
slow, as the excavations made for
the concrete abuttments have to be
kept free of water by the manipula-
tlon OF pump. When the tide Is
unusually high 1t fills up these ex-
cavations which the contractor had
pumped dry at low tide.
The work On this southwest
erp section OF the southern
abuttment which VIII be completed
today has been retarded by cold
weather which necessitated a cessa-
ton of ACTIVITY lest the mixture
would have frozen and erumbled.
The next concrete work will be start-
ed on the northeastern part OF the
north abuttment and then the bridge
will be placed diagonally across
from this structure to the southwest
ern part of the southern section,
making room thereby for the con-
struction OF the southeastern sec
ton of the southern abuttment and
the northwestern section OF the nor
thern abuttment. Men working on
the bridge say it is one of the worst
Jobs they have ever handled.
The southern abuttment will be
Ave feet thick at the base and have
a length of twelve feet, and the nor
thern abuttment will be twenty-five
feet in length and eight feet thick
at the base.
When the abuttments are COM
pleted the bridge will be replanked
and painted. a respectable waiting
room placed at the southern end, and
the road approaches will also be i'm
proved.
