DOLL EXHIBITION
DRAWS CHILDREN
"Kiddies" Out in Force at
Opening of Plaut Conn
pany Show.

Toyland in all its glory was never
more interesting to the little folks
(and many of the grown-ups, tool
than is the doll-dressing contest
which is going on at the store Of
l. S. Plaut & Co. The display, which
opened today, will continue for an in
definite time.
There are nearly 1000 dolls on ex
hibition. As a special attraction Miss
Caroline Haas, midget, entertained
the children. Miss Haas is we'll
known to Newarkers, having appear
ed in this city several times in en-
tertainments.
The arrangement of the dolls is
unique. The famous little Camp
bell Kids" have a house all their
own. These attractive character dolls
are popular among the "kiddies" and
naturally are one of the chief at
fractions.
The elimination of the dolls dressed
to represent various nations has re-
suited in larger display of "loabyHt
dolls, little romping dolls dressed in
angora sweater suits and the little
debutante dolls who are dressed in
silk and lace.
A group of dolls dressed as brides
is also attracting attention. The dolls
range in size from the tweive-inch
imported ones with the usual bridal
array to dolls three feet high and who
appear very stately In their garb Of
white satin and tulle.
Although the names of the exhibi-
tors are not known to the public and
the judges, It is not difficult to pick
out from the large crowds who visit
ed the exhibit this morning the proud
mothers" of the dainty creations
The "Hiddies" will stand before a
case and gaze with fond admiration
at certain doll" They will, in {
half-hearted way show an Interest
in the other dolls displayed, but any
one can tell by their face that they
know their ''ownest doll" Is the
best one.
There are numerous prizes that viii
be awarded the winners, and when
the display is over, each doll will be
delivered to its mother"

Fire Commissioners
Wind Up Business
for the Year 1914

The Board of Fire Commissioners
held it's final business meeting yes
terday, and the members were kept
busy for more than an hour signing
bills. President William A. Weber an
nounced that all the debts incurred
by the board had been paid and that
the affairs of the board were in good
shape
Following a request from the chap
plains, the board passed a resolution
which recommends that Chief Moore
take steps to provide for the housing,
maintenance and driving of the auto
mobile which was presented to the
fire chaplains by B. NJ. Stanley, jr.,
and other public-spirited citizens on
Monday. The board further urged
that the incoming board carry out
the plan suggested.
Both chaplains, DR.. James c. How
ard, of the Halsey Street Methodist
Episcopal Church, and Rev. Michael
p. Corcoran, pastor of st. Johns
Roman Catholic Church, addressed
the board briefly, urging the grant
ing of the request.
DR.. Howard said that he did not
think it would entail any additional
expense and would be great conven-
ience for the chaplains.
taLner GOrcOran explained IndL ne
did not think it becoming the dignity
of the clergy to have to rush through
the streets to get TO the quarters
where the automobile will be housed
when the chaplains are responding to
fires The commissioners said they
would do all In their power for the
chaplains.

s to Mayor.

me appointment OF a board Of con-
sxoI TO have supervision over motion
bicture exhibitions in East Orange,
and investing the body with powers
similar to those of an excise board, rs
ersed IN the first annual report OF the
Board Of Censors Of that city. which
mas forwarded to Mayor Julian A.
Gregory today.
The censors, who are not AFFILIATED
With the city government, but pursue
their tasks independently, declare
there is absolute necessity for more
direct and positive supervision of the
exhibitions. That reels which did not
have the approval of the National
Board Of Censors have been eXhib-
tied in certain amusement places IS
alleged
other films the eensors witnessed,
which could be considered as having
immoral influence or else as being
the portrayal of a plot that is I'M
moral, are cited. Infractions noticed
at the movie houses by the censors
are noted and recommendations made
10 amend the ordinance TO prevent
repetitions. T principal infractions,
lhe report states, were In permitting
people to stand in the aisles or in the
nassageways in the rear Of seats and

years without adult escorts.
The cityis ordinance stipElates that
children over fourteen can be admit
ted to the places. and the censors urge
he age limit be fixed at sixteen,
which is the State law. The censors
recommend the number of theatres be
Emitted to one for every 10000 people.
An excess of that number, the eensors
state, tends TO create pressing compe-
tition between proprietors and the Sc
auence is that sensational films are
exhibited which are detrimental to
the city.
The censors had but little difficulty
with proprietors and only in one IN
stance were they compelled to hale an
owner of o theatre into court for vio-
iating the law At this theatre the
censors say objectional films were
shown. The theatre has a new man.

exhibitions are being conducted salts.

EXERCISES Al MUNICIPAL
AUDITORIUM CLOSED
FRIDAY NIGHT.
PRESIDENT GAVE We; DIPLOMAS
TWENTY Seven Young Men and
Women Closed Their High
School Work.
PRESIDENT gave DIPLOMAS

In spite of the threatening clouds,
the auditorium was crowded for the
High School Commencement exercis-
es, Friday evening.
The opening number on the pro-
gram was a song, Over the Hills
given by the Eoys' Glee club. They
were called BAG. for an encore, point
eddy called "The Tack"
The invocation was by Rev. r. Z.
tStrutz, following which came a most
interesting and instructive address on
"A Paying Investment" In this, Mr..
W. Il. Johnson, president of the Ellen
dale Industrial school, set forth most
convincingly the necessity and value
of a good education to help our boys
and girls to success. .
Exercises Pleasing.
The Girls Glee club sang the chorus,
"In May" and "The Morning Ram
ble," as an encore. The way in which
the Glee clubs rendered their songs
was a witness to the time and labor
which Miss Smith has spent upon
them, and was a credit to the High
school.
The diplomas were presented by
Mr.. H. w. Richholt, president of the
board Of education. Hearty applause
was given as each name was read off.
Mr.. Root made a few timely remarks
on the growth of the number in our
schools, especially commenting on the
increasing per cent of boys enrolling
for the work.
The final number on the program
was the hearty singing of the class
song by the graduates. Myron Atkin-
son accompanied them on the piano.
This is the last of the graduation
exercises and, except for the Alumni
banquet this. evening, concludes the
graduation festivities for the year.
