Motherly Old Hen

The contention that the hen is the most
compassionate thing in creation is strik-
ingly illustrated by a case of motherhood
in nature related in Country Life" A
correspondent of Tit-Bits tells how in
farmyard were two puppies. for whom the
mother had no affection; an old hen
took pity on them, and when she went to
roost they followed her Squatting in
corner of a cart-shed she lifted wing
and the two youngsters crawled under for
the night, her chicks slumbering on the
backs of the puppies.
As a proof of how strongly motherhood
is developed in the lower creation, two
incidents occurred recently. cat, hav-
ing carried away a young crow from its
nest was attacked by six older birds and
killed. The other incident was where a
hen blackbird held at bay a cat. The
cat hid behind some bushes, and not three
yards in front OF the bush the bird stood
clucking most Indignantly. The cat lay
quiet for a time, the bird still holding it's
ground. When it quieted down some
what, the cat crouched forward as if to
spring; but the bird set up again a defiant

lasted for 20 minutes, until the cat was

COUNCIL VOTES
TO PAVE STREET
East Orange Body Appropriates
$4,000 for Central Ave-
nue. Improvement.

The East Orange City Council last
night by a vote Of TO l approved
the specifications for the repaving OF
Central avenue, authorizing the eX-
penditure OF not more than $4,000 as
the city's share of the Improvement.
which will be completed by the Es-
sex County Park Commission
Councilman Grover was the only
member of the council opposing the
measure stating in advance that his
sentiments regarding the proposed
Improvement had undergone no
change since the last session of the
body, when he voted against a SINH
lar resolution. Instead of reconsid-
ering their action on the matter at
the last meeting, when the resolution
was not carried, brand new one was
introduced last night by Councilman
Barradale.
Councilman Dixon eontended that
bor6r. should be issued as a means OF
raising the money, as the matter was
an important one, and. the sum in
volved considerable. He also de-
clared that the city should assure
itself that the pavement to be laid
will be a permanent one, TO which
County Engineer Reimer replied that
there was mo such thing as per
manent' pavement" Mr.. Reimer add
ed, however that the prospective
paving would undoubtedly be good
for at least three years, owing to the
fact that the width of Central ave-
rue is greater than Main street,
which is similarly paved. thereby
rendering the wear and tear upon the
former much less.
Before the pavement resolution was
introduced the ordinance authorizing
that the name of Park street, East
Orange, be changed to Freeman ave-
nue. was passed on it's final reading.
1t was brought out that the frontage
of the thoroughfare-1,3 300 feet-fully
warranted such a change, although
one or two objections to the new name
had been offered by some of its resi-
dents.
A communication from the State
Board of Equalization of Taxes re-
questing that tax maps of the city be
produced on or before September 10
was referred to the finance committee.
The council granted a license to
operate a moving picture show in the
auditorium of the Lyceum. Main
street, to the North Jersey Amuse-
ment Company The fee was $1,000
and the period of the license one year.
An invitation to the Board of Play
ground Commissioners to attend the
