Women Discuss
Civic Matters;
Aid Red Cross

In an effort to raise the standard
of moving pictures presented in
Perth Amboy the Woman's Club,
at their semimonthly session
yesterday afternoon in the Presby-
terian chapel, launched a movement
by which they hope to accomplish
much good in this line. A commit
tee, with Mrs. Jean Dubois as chair
man, consisting of the members of
the club who are now serving on the
board of censors, together with other
women who may be appointed by the
chairman, will be organized and take
steps to cooperate with the censor
ship board in attaining the purpose
for which they were organized.
The club will also assist the Sal
vation Army in their linen cam
paign" by establishing headquarters
at the Leon store, where a receptacle
will be placed to receive old linen
and other white material that may
prove suitable for bandages to be
used in the war zone. 1t was also
decided at the meeting to purchase
$50 worth OF Red Cross seals for
the benefit of the Anti-Tuberculosis
Society.
An amendment was introduced
and adopted raising the limit of
membership of the Woman's Club
from 200 to 225, and the organiza-
ton will now be enlarged by the ad-
mission of twenty-five women whose
names now appear on the waiting
list.
1t was stated that Mrs A. T. Dorf,
H. 0f h.
broidery class being held In the high
school building, has donated the
proceeds OF the class to start fund
for the propagation of the Red Cross
work by the club.
At the close of most interesting
business meeting Miss Susan Daniels,
who is member of the University
Club of New York, rendered a plano
selection. Miss Daniels, who has
studied abroad and under the tute-
lage of such a distinguished musi-
cian as the American MacDowall,
played the selection with rare
musical ability that afforded keen
delight to the members of the club.
Mrs. Gordon Richie, wife of the
noted playwright and an artist who
has won favor both in amateur and
professional dramatic circles for her
clever portrayal of the parts in which
she has appeared, delivered lecture
on "Shakespeare's Women" her eff
forts being very well received. The
manner in which she recited Portia S
appeal for justice In behalf of Bas-
sanio, taken from THE Merchant OF
Venice" won especial favor. Mrs.
Ritchie quoted extracts from the
plays of the great poet, bringing
into prominence Immogen, the hero
inc of "Cymbeline, Juliet from
"Romeo and Juliet" Beatrice OF
Much Ado About Nothing" Isabella
from Measure for Measure" Cor
della from king Lear" and other
women made immortal through

Paris, Nov. 17-With the lighting
from Nieuport through Dixmude and

ed to cannonading, the German and
allied armies on the Aisne and In the
Argonne are showing greater activ-
ity. The official communiques is
sued today report an attempt OF
Germans to cross the Ainse near
Valley. In Argonne German trench
es were blown up by French mines.
The cannonading In Flanders has
become more violent the statement

the Germans have continued attacks
about Ypres and south of Dixmude.
All assaults have failed and the al
lied line is held at all points. The
Germans attempt to cross the Aisne
near Valley was also defeated.
The communique states: THE

REAPPO|NT TWO
ASSESSORS FOR
REST OF TERM

With a view of making Thomas j.
Connors and Math Weirup, two of
the commissioners of assessment for
street Improvements, eligible for
service, the Board of Aldermen re-
appointed them to fill out the unex-
pired portions of their terms for the
year, at the regular meeting last
night. Alderman f. William Hilker
passed on the vote for Mr.. Connors,
while the vote for Mr.. Weirup was
unanimous.
Just prior to casting his vote for
the men last night Alderman John
J. Clark said he wanted to explain
his vote. He said he had doubts
about the men, particularly Mr.. Con-
nors, having been ineligible to serve,
but to make it doubly sure, he would
be one of those to vote for him.
Mr. Clark nominated Mr.. Connors
and Mr. Kelly put forward the name
of Mr.. Weirup. Just before the vote
was taken there came discussion.
Both Mr.. Hilker and Mr.. Wilson
wanted it understood that the ap-
pointments were only for unexpired
terms.
A supplement to an ordinance pro-
viding for the duties and compensa-
tion Of the city surveyor, which was
designed to prevent errors in assess
ing for street improvement work, was
passed on second and third and final
readings. 1t provides that the city
surveyor must make surveys, COM
pile maps and send notice of prob
able costs to owners along lines OF
proposed improvements at least ten
days before contracts are awarded.
The question of eligibility was
raised lust before election, which 1t
was claimed that at least two of the
commissioners were not property
owners in the city, as was required
by law. The matter came up during
squabble over the making of as
sessments. Efforts were made to
have assessments made In such way
that there would have to be no re-
funding by the city. 1t was pointed
out that discrepancies discovered af-
ter assessments had been made and
bills issued, caused loss to the city
in several instances. Alderman
William c. Wilson stated that the
whole subject simmered down to the
question of having capable assessors.
He was answered and 1t was stated
that he would apologize, but the
apology was never demanded and
Mr.. Wilson then made the exposure
that at least two Of the assessors
were not eligible for service, be-
cause they were not freeholders here.
The aldermen decided to investigate
and the next day Messrs. Connors
and WeiruD purchased tracts In
Compton avenue.
