To those who have tried their in
genuity in our previous Proverb con-
tests the bare announcement of an
other test of skill and brains will be
most welcome.
It is q fact that all those who have
once tasted the delight and excite
ment of q contest of this nature are
sure to be contestants in all future
trials Not alone are the cash prizes
attractive, but the contest itself has
been pronounced the most fascinat-
ing form of entertainment for the
long winter evenings that has ever
been devised.
To the young folks it is liberal
education because. in the search for
the correct answers to the puzzle
proverb pictures they unconsciously
absorb the worldly wisdom of these
pithy truisms which, in after life, re-
cur to their minds and often guide
their actions and steps Alright.
The older people, too, find enjoy
ment in perusing the wit and the
wisdom of these apt sayings, every
enc of which was inspired by q con-
dition in the life of it's author.
In short, proverbs have been called
the concentrated wisdom of all the
ages, and those who are not familiar
with them will learn much by a care
full study.

MANY THOUSAND
POUNDS OF FISH
PLACED ON SALE
Also 30, 600 CLAIMS and $500
Grabs at the City
Markets.

Eleven thousand pounds of fish ar
rived here this afternoon from Bel
ford and were placed on sale at the
municipal markets. Although the fish
supply had been exhausted on Satur-
day 10000 CLAIMS and $500 crabs had
been shipped by freight and were
ready for sale when the stores opened
this morning.
The clans sold at the regular mu-
nicipal market price of six cents a
dozen, and the crabs at twenty five
cents a dozen The demand for this
seafood was as large as ever, and the
stores at so Ferry street and SO Belle
Vile avenue did good business.
City Sealer John Fl. Sullivan is
making arrangements to open another
market to take the place of the one
at 215 Norfolk street, which has been
discontinued. 1t is probable that the
location of the new market will be
announced tomorrow. Mayor Jacob
Haussling, under whose direction the
municipal markets are conducted, has
received numerous requests to open
stores In various sections of the city,
A large number of these requests
came from the congested district near
South Orange avenue and NorfolIs
street, and efforts will be made to
open a market in that vicinity.
About 10000 CLAIMS and $500 crabs
were included in the shipment which
arrived by boat this afternoon. The
demand for the clans and crabs has
been greater than the markets have
been able to meet and special efforts
are made to secure as many of them
as is possible. The fish placed on sale
at six cents a pound included weak
fish, butterfish, bluefish, founders
herrings and croakers
One hundred crates of eggs were
offered for sale at thirty cents a
dozen at the city stores today. More
than 5000 dozen were sold at the
stores on Saturday. and it is expect
ed that when the three markets are
in full swing the supply of eggs will
be sold out rapidly. Numerous In
quiries have been received at the
markets as to whether or not the city
can make deliveries. 1t was ex.
planned that no deliveries will be
made as this is one of the items oi
expense removed so that food can be
sold at low prices.

RECOUNT SHOWS
MORE VOTES THAN
ARE REGISTERED
Find Fifteen Extra Ballots in
One District and Five in
Others.
SUBPOENA CITY CLERK
FOR REGISTRY LISTS
Satisfactory Answer Not Forth
coming When Election Of
ficials Are Quizzed.

The County Board of Elections
found gross irregularities today when
they recounted some of the Repub-
lican ballots cast in the recent pri-
mary election in the Second ward in
the recount called by Frederick r..
Lehlbach, defeated congressional
candidate in the Tenth district.
In the first district they found four
more ballots than the number regis
tered by the tally clerk; in the second
district they found one more balloe
than the number accounted, and in
the fourth district they found fifteen
more ballots than the tally clerk re-
ported cast.
The board decided to put the entire
for a decision.
The discrepancy i'm the First was
quite unexpected and not discovered
until the board had nearly finished
counting the ballots. In this case the
ballots were taken out one at a time
and read off until fifty-nine, the num-
ber reported cast, had been reached.
-Four more remained in the box.
George r. Brandenburgh, chairman
of the board, inquired from the cleo
tion officer from the district, who was
present how the discrepancy could
have been made, but was unable to
get any satisfactory explanation. He
did learn, however, that in that dis
trict the Republican election officers
had counted the Republican ballots
and the Democratic officers the DEM
ocratic ballots.
The ballots in the Second district
were counted before any of them were
read and here one more than the
number reported was found.
In the Fourth district, however, ftf-
teen more ballots than the number
reported were in the box, and the
board. realizing the seriousness of the
situation, decided to subpoena City
Clerk Archibald to learn the exact
situation.
The county board found itself un-
able to dispose of the matter and will
refer 1t to the court.
Lehlbach gained two votes on the
recount of the ballots of the first dis
trictaof the Second ward, the first to
be counted, but there we're four bal
lots remaining In the box after the
board had counted fifty-nine. the
number registered
( The original count gave HdHfffs 36,
Iehlbach is and Carl A. Ahlstedt 1.
with total of fifty-nine ballots
registered.
The recount gave Adams 81, Lehl-
bach 15, Ahlstedt 1, with eight blanks
and one rejected ballot. Four more
ballots remained in the box The bal
lots had been removed one at a time
and the excess was not discovered
until fifty-nine had been counted
When the board started to count
the Second district they emptied the
box at one and found fifty eight bal
lots although but fifty-seven had been
registered.
Robert II. McCarter appeared at
the recount as representative m Lehl-
bach, and Walter e. Hampton, OF
New York, looked after the interests
of Adams.

Of Montana, who replied to the criti-
cisms of Senator Reed of the pend

CONGRESS TO HAVE
NO EXTRA SESSION,
WILSON ASSERTS
President Says Legislative Pro-
gram Will Permit of Adjourn
nnent About October Is.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Ontlining
the legislative program for the re-
mainder of the session of Congress.
President Wilson told callers today
that no extra session in November
vas contemplated. He added that
only some extraordinary emergency
would necessitate an extra session,
following adjournment of the short
session in March.
The President said the war tax bill,
the Clayton antitrust bill and the
Alaska coal leasing would complete
the important work for the present
session, and that when these bills
were disposed of he saw mo reason
why an adjournment should not be
taken. October Is is the date tenta-
lively agreed upon.
Asked about threats by Represent
ative Henry, of Texas, to fight
against the adjournment until cot
ton relief measures were passed, the
President said that the membership
of the House rather than Mr.. Henry
would decide when to adjourn.
For the next session the program as
outlined by the President will include
the Alexander ship purchase bill, the
Philippine bill, the general leasing
bill, the general land bill, the general
dam bill and the usual appropriations
bills.
Regarding the Presidential primary
bill which he favors, the President
said today that he had held several
conferences on the subject, and had
found there would be great complex
ity in framing the details in order not
to conflict with State election laws.
He asserted 1t would be difficult to
complete the legislation this Con-
gress, but that he was still at work
on the subject.
The President said he did not think
it necessary to act on the safety-at-
sea convention during the present
session. The Reyburn securities is
sue bill also probably will go over un-
til the next session.

To Win Confidence Deserve 1t,

Dear Miss Fairfax: have been on
gagged to a young man since last May.
Our meeting was more or less flirta-
ton, as l was introduced to him through
o friend of his whom l met through a
filtration. My friend is very much
against Irritation, and TO make matters
worse before out engagement L told him
of the many times f1irted and the good
times l had with men. This has seemed
to make my friend lose his confidence in
me since he feels that ] still continue He
feels he cannot trust me. ] want his con-
ndnce. How can win It, for l long to
so so? MABEL w.
The best way TO win confidence is alb
solutely to deserve it. Since you were
once so indiscrete as to flirt. you must
prove by a long period OF dignified be-
havior that you realize your own foolish
ness. This distrust is the penalty you
must pay for your. actions. Just realize
how wrong your conduct was, and make
up your mind that there will be no more
of 1t. and 1 think you will be able to
convince your fiance of your change OF
heart.
