only thing we would like to suggest
to the girls is: when you have saved
$50 withdraw the amount from the
savings fund and open a bank ac-
count, where you can get 21a per
cent interest on your money.
ave do not give the girls any in
terest on the money saved. as that
goes for the expenses of the women
who have charge of the savings fund
offices, for the printing of the stamps
and other literature. Instead of
spending your money for candy and
soda water open an account with the
savings fund and when vacation time
is here you will be surprised at the
result of your saving"
The girls at the meeting last night
were very enthusiastic about the
savings fund and it bids fair to take
hold in this city and rival the main
fund in New York city. Miss Smith
announced that any girl who did not
know about the fund and would like
to know, had only to attend the next

dropped the Imhoff idea, but was in
Difference to the Judgment expressed
that the ordinance would not stand,
even If enough votes were secured to
override the mayors veto, as the
bond lawyers insist a measure to be
binding must be introduced and final-
~ passed within the calendar year.
Mayor Murray, who was present at
the session, took up criticisms OF his
veto at a meeting Of the advisory
committee last week, and he gave an
earnest argument to illustrate his ef-
forts to secure all the light possible
upon the big problem before the city.
That he stands alone as executive in
assuming responsibility for placing
life in an ordinance he outlined
plainly, and he also gave an interest
ing prophecy, based upon his study OF

ture, and the votes on legislation
offered that would prove hostile to an
independent scheme for Orange. East

ELECT WOMAN IN
EDUCATION BOARD
Mrs. Edward F. Chamberlain
Named by East Orange Body
for Vice-President.

Members of the East Orange Board
Of Education last night broke the
deadlock which has existed since their
organization meeting a week ago by
electing Mrs. Edward F. Chamberlain
as vice-president for the ensuing
year. The action of the board in NAM
ing its only woman member to the
office was unanimous.
Lacking a member at the meeting
last week through the failure of
Mayor Gregory to make the necessary
appointment, the election was post
poned until the next meeting of the
full board. Although the mayors ap-
pointment was made Saturday in the
person of Hamilton S. Corwin, presi-
dent of the Manhattan and Hudson
Railway Company, of New York, the
latter was not present at the meeting
last night, and organization of the
board was completed without him.
Mrs. Chamberlain was nominated by
Commissioner Lewis Buddy, Sd, who
declared it was a fitting tribute to
the only woman member, and ex-
pressed his hope that the choice would
be unanimous.
Physical fitness as well as mental
abilities will in future be required of
teachers seeking positions in East Or
ange schools, If the recommendation
of Superintendent of Schools Edwin
G. Broome is carried out. In his
monthly report Mr.. Broome declared
that more teachers fail because of ILL
health or lack of sufficient vitality
than for any other reason.
