THE CLAD
HOLIDAY SEASON

Preparations for the wonderful Christ
mas time are being made the holiday
spirit is at hand. The merchants of
Bridgeton provide for the holidays
every year. The preparations for
Christmas 1915 are more complete and
elaborate than in all previous Christ
masses.
Among the concerns in Bridgeton
that make an attractive display of hol-
iday gifts is the Security Pawn Shop.
A few years ago the Security Pawn
Shop was opened in small East Com
merce street store and was at once an
established success. The store former
ly the Women's Shop was then taken,
and but short time ago the manage
ment moved the business to the large
store No, 20 North Laurel street, next
the Majestic Theatre. This store gives
opportunity for the management to
make a splendid display of the large
amount of goods that are carried by
the concern. All the while the stocks
increase and the line covers practically
everything for wear, jewelry, tools,
guns, revoIvers, sporting goods, musi-
cal instruments, suit cases, etc.
In addition there are boots, shoes, rub
bers, etc.
The Security Pawn Shop has the
reputation of being a most reliable con-
Germ and eminently fair in all its deal
ing with its customers. Its business
has increased from the time it was in
stituted, and to-day is big, growing
concern.

MEETING OF
. TEACHERS
City School Supt. Porter
Speaks.
WORK TOGETHER
General Teachers Meeting Was
Held Yesterday Afternoon in
Bank Street School.

There was general teachers meet
ing in the Bank st. building yester-
day afternoon at four. o'clock. with
all of the Bridgeton teachers in at
tendance. Supt. d. c. Porter adj
dressed the teachers. He spoke of
the recent County Exhibit and
thanked the teachers for their hearty
co-operation and splendid results for
SO short a time in preparing for it.
/ The marking of the pupils report
cards was also taken up. Mr.. Porter
discussed the various methods Of
counting credits for the reports and
tried to plainly point out to the teach
ers just what plan would be the best
one to follow.
The Christmas vacation was Off
icially announced as beginning on
Thursday evening, December 23d.
This will enable the out of town peo-
pie to get home in time to hang up
their stocking by their own fireside
and to joyfully plan for happy
Christmas Day on Saturday.
The principals were again remind
ed that 1t is time the State Teachers
Association dues were in. So far, ev-
eryteacher has been enrolled for sew
eral of the schools and it is hoped
that the other schools yet to be heard
from will offer equally as good re-
suits.
The subject of reading was also
spoken about. Which is it better to
do. 10 require the pupil to correctly
pronounce the words or to get the
thought of what he is reading? This
was talked about and decided to have
the answer Teach phonics when you
teach phonics and teach reading when
you teach reading"
Various phases of language work
were brought up. Some time in the
future, samples of composition work
from the pupils will be called for by
the superintendent for inspection.
On account of Mr.. Porter having a
severe cold and 1t being difficult for
him to speak, the meeting was not a
lengthy one and was brought to q
close after final announcement
about the Teachers Club party to be
given tomorrow evening in the Ware
building. To this all teachers, the
members of the Board of Education
and their wives, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Porter are most cordially invited.

AN APOSTLE OF
AUTOMOBILINC

1t is doubtful whether the automo-
bile Industry ever produced a more
eloquent apostle of the joys of auto
mobiling than Benjamin Briscoe,
President of the Briscoe Motor Com
pany. ''The love of outdoor life," says
Mr.. Briscoe, ''has never received an
impetus like the one given it by the
automobile. And when I speak of the
automobile do not have in mind the
costly limousine or the elaborately
equipped town car of the ultra-fash-
ionable, but the present-day car of
moderate price which has done more
for the popularization Of motoring
than its higher-priced predecessors OF
years gone by.
For one thing, the automobile is
a leveler of classes. The minute you
ado motor car, no matter what kind
to the list of your worldly possessions
you revise your notions of a few
things that in your mind seemed i'm
mutually fixed. You find, for instance,
that there is nothing more enjoyable
than to go out on the highways of the
country in utter oblivion of the dust
that fills your system and of the Wind
that puts complexion on cheeks that
had none before. Occasionally the
goggles are the only means enabling
the roadhouse man and the hotel keep
er to distinguish the motorist from
the rest of humanity and it is often
said that some of our most exclusive
hotels would hesitate to turn away
fairly well dressed vagabond for fear
that he might be a wealthy motorist.
That, of course, may be good deal
of an exaggeration, but the fact is
that the new motorist soon learns
how much fun there really is in going
out and becoming saturated with the
dust of mother earth and then to wash
up again.
Even milady of fastidious taste
gradually comes to the conclusion that
it is well to discard the hitherto in
evitable box of cold cream, the pow
der puff and various other aids to
Identification and to appear more like
her male companion, like genuine
motorist. Every one who has had the
good fortune to observe the crowds
of motorists at the big races-and this
statement includes the feminine ele-
ment as well-how they camp on the
ground or bunk in their cars, rough
ing it in the full sense of the word
must have realized that there are joys
of automobiling quite apart from the
mere exhilaration afforded by rapid
motion, and heaTth-giving advantages

MUCH TROUBLE
FOR THE BANKS

The forms furnished by the u. s.
Comptroller of the currency, to he
made up showing the financial condi-
tion of the national banks at the close
of business Nov. 10, says the Elmer
Times, contain 244 lines to be filled
out by the banks in the form of. an
swers to questions. or statements of
assets and liabilities. Three copies of
the large form which is sent to the
Comptroller's office, must be made.
and two copies must be made Of the
condensed form to be published in the
newspapers.
Some of the questions asked have
no bearing on the condition of the
bank as to assets and resources, while
others are vital to the subject. The
present Comptroller has put more
work on the banks than any other
man who ever held the office.
Among the questions to be an
swered are:
How many members of your board
constitute your Executive or Finance
Committee?
What plan (if any) have you by
which each member of your board
smay take turns in serving on the
aforesaid committee?
Give the names of the present mem
bers Of your Executive or Finance
Committee, and state for how many
years each member has served con-
tinuously on this committee?
How often does this committee
meet?
Give names of directors who have
been members of your board contin-
uously during past five years, but
have not served on the Executive or
Finance Committee.
Given ct earnings, after paying ex-
penses and dividends for years 1912.
1913, 1914, and state per cent. Of divi-
dends for each year. (This informa-
ton has been on file continuously for
each year with all Comptrollers. and
for the years mentioned is also on
file in the revenue department, 80
that it is mere duplicating of info--
mation).
Questions are to be answered show
ing losses on different classes of in
vestments for each of three years.
There are questions in percentage,
and a requirement showing number
of notes discounted since Sept. 2, how
many of them and how many renew
ais, etc.

that it was the duty Of the Board to
count the ballots.

and proceeded to count the votes.
