 ''The first prison in this country was organized at Richmond, Va, the second in Boston and the third iT this state. The reformatories in this country are from Elmira down.

 Separa tion From Criminal.
 ''The main thing is the separation of the first-timer from the hardened criminal. It is considered that about forty. per cent. of prisoners are men, tally defective. The greatest problem to solve is the care and custody of the Predetermined. They produce more paupers, -degenerates and crime than any other cause! .

DON'T GRIEVE,
ITS. SPILLED MILK.
Broken Axle Causes Milk Laden
Truck To Smash 22O Cases
of Borden Milk.

In the early hours of Friday morn
ing, February 5, something happened
which the many who were in the
depths of slumber missed, and con-
sequently there did not gather a
crowd which in the daytime seems to
spring out of nowhere. At the junct-
ion of Fourth street and Park avenue,
Weehawken, one of Borden's heavy
milk trucks drawn by four horses was
laboring along, when without warn
ing the hinder aXel broke, and some
220 cases of milk were promiscuously
mixed up. Just on the trolley car
tracks about 200 bottles of high grade
milk were smashed, which, mingling
with the snow, formed first-class ice
cream, much cleaner and purer than
the fake stuff with which our youth
regale themselves in many icecream
'parlors." The one drawback was
that it was badly mixed with broken
glass. The Public Service people soon
had breakdown gang and trolley
truck sent to the scene, and by a.
m. the derbis was cleared away.

Palisades Park Has
Voted SOS, 600 For
School Addition.

There was school election in Pal
isades Park on Thursday night for a
new addition to the public school.
The vote resulted in 65 for to AZ
against the proposition. Bonds will
be issued to cover the cost.
The new school has been planned by
Ernest Sibley, who built the present
Palisades Park school, and will cost
$4,000 furnished. 1t will be one of
the most modern and complete
schools in New Jersey. 1t will have
thirteen large class rooms, a large
room for sixty Kindergarten pupils,
besides a splendid auditorium seating
700 people, This latter feature will
be one of the main attractions to the
new school, and architect Sibley is
going to make it beauty. 1t will
have a stage and full set of scenery
for school and local plays.
Another striking feature of the
new school will be a modern gynasi-
UNI with full equipment. This will
be a large room, so by 70 feet, of
ample size for basket ball contests.

Freebooter Bender was present to
urge that the projected work on the
repairing of Palisade avenue from the

Gorge road and Anderson avenue be
begun without delay. The sum of
$4,000 which the Freebooter had re-

error. The amount was only $4,000.
This amount to be duplicated, or ex-
ceeded, if possible by the borough.
The mayor thought the borough was
favored by receiving such substan-
tial offer of assistance.
Under the head of Claims, the US

Under committee reports, authori-

How many merchants know the
true worth of advertising? Few, it is

are just barely making ends meet,
when by the jurisdicious use of news
paper columns they could vastly in
crease their business. All successful

Two beautiful dress hats emphasize
the fact that hats large or small or
anywhere between may be chosen by
milady when she centers her atten-
ton upon her summer millinery. The
matter of size need only be consid-
cred in connection with that Of be-
comingness. The little hat still holds
it's own in glorious company of
newly arrived picturesque wide
brimmed allurements that pleasingly
distract the attention and divide the
honors.
Without doubt the trend is toward
the large hat for midsummer. And if
a vote might be taken and recorded
as to which is the most beautiful Of
all hats the chances are the big black
picture hat would be conceded to be
the favorite of womankind-an man
kind, too.
A masterpiece in the art Of millinery
is pictured here in the lovely wide
brimmed hat Of black lace and velvet.

arrangement is unusual and the effect
beautiful.
Streamers of wide black velvet rib
bon add final touch of richness to
superb conception.
In the shadow of this spIendor the
small brilliant turban loses nothing of
it's charm. To the little hat belongs
all sorts of eccentric curves and turns
and poises, and it's business is not to
be dignifed.
The model shown is of silk straw in
putty color. At the front, pieces of
the straw braid are edged with an en-
brcidered band and draped on the
frame. Grapes and leaves, simulated
in silk in brilliant colors, are posed
fat against the hat, and an occasional
tendril reaches out from the coronet.
This very clever little model is fin
ished with a long slender feather
which scars from the left side with
great singleness Of purpose to add
height, apparently. But it changes it's
mind and curls downward again, tax
ing advantage of the privilege of the
little hat to be eccentric.
