Thursday, the tenth, at the spacious
home of the regent, Mrs. w. H.
Brewster, with large attendance
present, in honor of State Regent Mrs.
j. A. DeBoer, who was the guest of

tary showed the society in a growing
condition, also the treasurer's report
gave an increase in membership, and
balance in the treasury to be proud
of.
The regents nominated Miss Susan

scented by delegates. She importuneC
every member to venerate the flag,
still more, and arise whenever she hears
the familiar strains of the ''Stal
Spangled Banner" thus showing hen
love for the dear old emblem, for which
our ancestors fought and died. She
also spoke of many other matters OF
interest to every daughter of American
Revolution.
Our order now numbers some n, 600
of which we ought to be justly proud.
At the conclusion of the meeting &
fine musical entertainment was given by
Mrs. Eddy, who was in fine voice. She
accompanied herself and was assisted
by Mr.. Reynolds upon the violin in his
usual classical style.
Very delicious and dainty refresh

feeling our enthusiasm and patriotism
greatly strengthened, and determined
to take up the work with renewed vigol
and inspiration.

a contributor to the August Woman's
Home Companion tells, as follows,
how you may find your way out of the
woods if YOU get lost;
eff you discover that you are lost in
the woods, sit down and think calmly
back over the road you have travelled,
trying to decide where the camp should
lie. Then. if you have your compass,
and it seems to agree with your judg
ment, stick faithfully to that direction.
Even if you are wrong in your decision,
it is better to keep on in one direction,
because you may fall in with some
stream, and can follow it to a human
habitation.
If you have no compass, the sun is
an excellent guide during the day.
Should the sky be overcast, place the
point of your knife-bade on the nail
of your thumb; turn slowly until the
full shadow of the blade obscures the
nail, and you have discovered where
the sun is
"You can discover the points of the
compass in other ways; by noticing
that the tops of small trees incline to
the north; that the leaves of trees are
generally closer on the south side; that
their branches are shorter and more
irregular on the north side.
"To prevent getting into the circle
habit break off branches of the bushes
you pass. Start a fire, if your match
safe is with you-as it should be. Re-
member that fire piled up with damp
wood makes dense smoke, and quickly
attracts attention. Two fires going al
once, one little removed from the
other, constitute a well-known sigma
of distress among woodsmen. The fir
ing of three shots in succession-two al
first, then a pause, then the THIRD
shots another recognized signal, il
you happen to have gum"

Orders for printing 100, 900, 900 Red
Cross Christmas seals for use during
the holiday season this year have already
been placed and preparations for the
sale are well under way, according to an

Over 40, 200, 600 or $500, 1000 worth of

prints the following editorial in its

THE problem of milking by means
of machines is still long way from
being solved, but we are much nearer
the goal than five years ago, or even a
year ago. More people are thinking
about mechanical devices for Tightening
the work of the tired hands and aching
fingers than ever before.
The New York Experiment Station
has announced the result of "a milking
machine experiment which covered a
period Of four years. The experiments
show that, including the time required
to get the machines ready and to wash
them after milking, cows can be MIXED
by machine in 3 SO minu ties per cow, as
against seven minutes for hand milking.
A higher class of help is, however, nee
cessary to milk by machinery success

bound trip, returning next day at noon.
The weather was fine, though varied,
which brought out the natural beauties

manner. The occasion was made I'M
usually pleasant by the interesting
presence of Mrs. DeBoer, state regent,
as a guest of the chapter. Mrs. De-
Boer held an informal meeting in the

short address to the Daughters and
told of the work of the d. A. r. in the

BOARD OF HEALTH.
REPR|MANDS M. D.
Declares Doctor Victor Parson.
net Failed to Report Diph-
liberia Case.

Because he had failed to notify the
Board of Health of a case of diph-
iberia DIR. Victor Personnel was hailed
before the board last night. The doc
tor explained that the board had
made four cultures and reported mega
lively each time. He was reprimand-
ed and the case dismissed.
Dr. Edward e. Ware, superin-
tendent of contagious diseases, con-
Quoted the case. DR.. S. Rubinott was
the complainant against DR.. Par
sonnet and he had called DR.. Eman-
uel Schwarz as a witness. DR.. Ru-
binott had been called to attend a
five-months-old child named Mintz,
whose parents reside in a two-family
house at so Charlton street. He told
the parents that the boy did not have
diphtheria, and cultures he sent to
the Board of Health came back with
a negative report. The family de-
cided they wanted another doctor and
called in Dr. Emanuel Schwarz. He
went to DIR. Rubinott and reported
that he had been called in. Together
they went to the house and decided
the case was not diphtheria.
The parents were not satisfied with
the diagnosis and called in DR.. Vic
tor Personnel. He said he thought
DIR. Rubinott had refused the case.
He said the child had diphtheria.
Last night he insisted that his clint
cal diagnosis showed diphtheria, al
though the high temperature and the
age of the child discouraged the idea.
Later DIR. Rubinott came to see him,
insisting that the case was not one
of diphtheria and they took more Gull
lures These also came back from
the Board of Health with a negative
report.
Last night DR.. Personnel said he
did not notify the Board of Health
that there was diphtheria in the
house at so Charlton street because
of the negative report from the
Board of Health He did not sec
what his personal opinion had to do
with it when the bacteriologist of the
Board of Health had declared that 1t
was not diphtheria, as no germs ex-
listed.

for the benefit of the lay members OF
the board that there are two distinct
varieties of diphtheria- one of which
shows no results from the test
Hereafter the Board of Health will
require all physicians that they no.
tify the board of all cases of diph-
iberia so diagnosed clinically,
whether the archaeological tests
show germs or not and the houses
where the afflicted live will be iso-
lated and placarded.
The board authorized the organiza-
ton last June of the Board of Health
Employees Pension Fund Association,
which designs to form g pension fund
by contributing percentage of the
employees salaries, the board appro-
priating an equal amount. The en-
ployees had chosen DIR. J. T. Wright
son, DIR. Frank P. Meeker, DIR. George
L. Warren and Otto b. Schalk
trustees of the fund.
Four ordinances passed their third
and final reading and legally go into
effect. They are the milk ordinance,
one requiring that public slaughter
houses for poultry be licensed and
another requiring the same thing of
private poultry slaughter houses, and
the dead animal ordinance. The lat
ter places the penalty for carting ami
mails which died of disease, through
the streets of Newark without a per-
NIT from the Board of Health, pun
ishable with fine of $50 or ten days
Imprisonment.
The resumption of health inspection
of parochial schools having been re-
quested by those IN charge OF them
the board referred the matter to the
sanitory committee to take action
The inspections were dropped because
of lack of funds. AS it was not in
tended to omit them after January 1.
1t Is probable they will be resumed
from that date. Dr. Warren said
they did good work, especially by
causing vaccination of pupils who
would not otherwise be vaccinated.
