|. N. /. 4. HOME
IN SIGHT; LEASE
NEW BUILDING

After several years activities with
the goal OF Y NJ II. A. home in
sight, the members of that organiza-
tion are about to realize the attain
ment Of their efforts, and when a
meeting Cf that organization, with it's
auXiliaries, the Y. w. H. A. and the
Boys H. A., is held this Sunday, the
members will undoubtedly sanction
the action of their building fund
committee in leasing the entire two
upper floors of the large new building
being erected by Fraser Bros. at the
corner of Smith and Mcclellan
streets.
With this view always in sight, the
members of the Y. NJ. II. a. have
been working diligently and when
the present plans are carried out the
association will be located in new
apartments, equipped in a very mod
ern manner. The building fund
committee has been active and the
plan they have decided on will be
ratified by the organization and its
auXiliarias, which have been called
together in joint meeting for this
purpose Sunday at 2 o'clock
The construction and furnishings
of the two upper floors of the build
ing are to be carried out according
to the plans of the association, which
have been drawn up by BENJAMIN
Goldberger, and the rooms will be
leased for term of years.
According to the present plans
there will be located on the first
upper floor a spacious library pool
room, secretary's room, lodge room,
kitchen and gymnasium. On the top
floor nearly the whole space will be
utilized for a large hall, in which
entertainments, dances. etc, can be
held. In the rear of the hall will
be ante rooms, ladies' room, gentle
mems smoking room, serving room,
etc. Everything will be furnished in
an up-to-date manner and in a way
which will compare with any similar
institution in the state in favorable
mau..c-'.
1t was realized that at the present
time steps could no. he taken toward
the erection of a large home. and it
was decided 10 lease the apartments
in the new building. Spacious ac-
commodations will be offered since
the dimensions OF the floors in the
new building will be fifty by eighty
feet.
There is already substantial sum
on hand toward the equipment of
the new rooms, and the remainder
will be realized by a canvass among
the members of the organization and
several big social events to be held
throughout the winter 1t is rough
ly estimated that the furnishings will
cost between ten and fifteen thou
sand dollars. The building fund
committee believes that the financial
prospects for the equipment of the
new quarters are so bright that no
outside solicitation will be necessary
The members of the building fund
committee are Morris l.. Goldberg
er, chairman; Meyer Friedman,
Isadore Greenspan, DR.. Bernard
Feldman, Abraham Sacarny, Samuel
Levine, Benjamin Goldberger and
Harry Eisner. The members of the
Y. M. II. A. and its auxiliaries are
enthusiastic over the prospects of
being located in their own home after
many years activities and it is eX-
pected that there will be a large
representation at the meeting Sun
day, both of the young men and the
young women who have assisted
them so ably.

made to take Konigsberg, which is
now being besieged and bombarded

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-An In.
crease OF the Socialist vote In the re-
cent elections Is shown by the unof-
fetal returns at hand. That this vote
has gone TO more than one million
and may have reached million and
q half Is the claim OF the party Of
ficials. Judged by the number OF So
cialist officials elected, the increase
In the Socialist vote was at least so
per cent. over the vote two years ago.
The Socialists elected TO Office one
congressman. four state senators, 70
members OF state legislatures. and
possibly some others where the re-
turns will be In doubt until the ofti-
cial canvass is made, This Is 90
per cent more Socialist legislators
elected than two years ago. This
takes no account OF the smaller po-
litical Offices, county. and city ofh-
Gals, where In many localities the
Socialists won. The most remarka-
BILE showing was in Oklahoma, where
they captured a state senator and five
members OF the legislature, and car
ried five counties outright. In three
states alone-Texas, Oklahoma and
Montana-half million Socialist
votes were cast.
This increase in the Socialist
strength at time when there was an
apparent reaction TO the old stand-pat
Republican ranks, accompanied by q
breaking up OF the Progressive party
and the reduction in the Democratic
strength is seeming paradox. Those
people who are reading in the returns
that what the people want Is reaction
and stand.patism fail 10 see the sig
nificance OF this increase In the So
cialist strength. This increase is
made UP In some part at least OF dis
contented Progressives-those who
thought they saw in the Progressive
party chance TO move forward along
the lines OF economic freedom, but
who found the party an impracticable
instrument Concluding that the Pro
ggessiyes were non-winning party

Euer Writed. RedlOne?

"The only absolutely safe love let
tar IL the one that Is cremated the
moment Il lights" says one OF our
eastern writer's, which Is pushing the
safety first idea 10 the limit. Every
fellow should preserve his first love
letter. II he can get hold OF 1t.
Your first love letter was, possibly,
the only absolutely sincere, honest,
courageous letter you ever wrote. IN
all the others there was calculaton'
concealment, insincerity and, very
likely, chicane In some degree. But
that first letter was part OF your hon
est self. II ran something like this,
IN effect:
You told her that you loved her
with your whole heart, her and her
alone, and you did Children, expert
ences, and the erosions Of time may,
In later years, impair that exclusive
monopoly, but when you wrote that
letter, that monopoly was the closest
on earth. regardless OF what the girl
was or promised to become.
You called her the sweetest, best
girl alive, and she was-to you. A
broader grasp OF the female nature
may cause modification Of this view,
later on, but at that time II was your
honest conviction.
You wrote that you could die for
her, and you could. In mind and
heart you were wholly and honestly
unself1sh and uncalculating, condi-
ton that would not be likely TO keep
you awake many nights In the future.
To be sure, you put into that let
ter lot OF gush, billion Of kisses
represented by stars like duck tracks
In the mud, and the sobs OF your soul,
the loneliness OF your solitary heart,
the ruined life without you," the
happiness OF the grave with the
corpse wearing a fresh mitten-the
whole spread OF sentimental Stiffness.

fering Lover"
But you we're honest with yourself
and with the other party Have you
always been so, since? Your thoughts
toward woman were pure. How
about this, since? You showed just
what you we're How many times
have you tried to pass of your coun-
terfeit self, since?
Great Scott! Man, underlying all
that romantic gush was your real
self. II you were an honest lover.
Don't burn that letter. II you've got
IT. II is a memento OF time when
you felt yourself to be a real man,
and genuinely good man. "All the
world loves lover" because he's gen.
uine. The first love letter IS beau

up into a cloudless sky, and never
comes back. 1t ia the blessed glory
OF anticipation that's later hidden by
the clouds OF realization. II is the
first. and likely your last, uncalculat-
ing expression of perfect truth. II Is
mirror that reflects not what You

have always been. It's very Stiffness
signifies sincerity and youth. and con-
