MAY DECIDE TO PAINT
CLEVELAND HOME WHITE

What color paint was on the Pres
byterian mansion in Caldwell when
Grover Cleveland was born therein?
This is a question which the mem
bers of the Grover Cleveland Memo
rial Association. which now owns the
property, is trying to ascertain, with
the view to making the building again
look as it did on that historic occa-
sion.
Opinions differ among the old resi-
dents, but in view of the fact that
white was the prevailing color for
mansions years ago the committee is
likely to adopt it.
The committee is having needed re-
pairs made, and before July ex-
poets to have the building in shape
for inspection.

The eugenics movement in Mont-

the support and cooperation of all
who reverence the sanctity of the

method to pursue to keep their fund
intact.
IN Passaic," Mr.. Kennel said. THE
volunteers have been up against just
such a proposition. We found the
paid men, who, as volunteers, were
our friends. did not know us after
they had been appointed to the paid
department These men are not to be
depended upon. They will come up
to shake your hand and tell you what
a good fellow you are, and when the
occasion arises they will do their ut
most to put one over on you.
IF your own brother is a paid man
and you volunteer you cannot place
any dependence on him. The paid
men are out for all they can get and
they will sacrifice friendship to gain
their point"
Concerning the West Hoboken stu
way to solvle the matter is to have
an agreement drawn up to provide
for the creation of a directorate to
care for the fund. Mr.. Kennels idea
is to have one-half of the members
exempt firemen and the other half
paid men.
But be sure the agreement is
drawn up in such a manner as not to
allow the paid men to get one across
on you. Have competent lawyer do
the work, sand you viii have no cause
