One HUNDRED YEARS Ago TO DAY
General Jackson Whipped the
British and Won The Presi-
dency Thereby

For one hundred years ago to-day
there has been Peace between these
United States and Great Britain. The
War of 1872 was officially ended De-
cember "a, 1914, but the greatest battle
in it was fought January 9th, which
has became noted in history as Jackson
Day.
But for the Great War now in
Europe there would have been a big
celebration held to commemorate the Of
fetal close of the war by the Treaty Of
Client, signed at Client, in Belgium,
December "a, 1874.
In December 1914, 10000 British
troops, under General Pakenham, were
transported from jamaica to Louisi-
ana for an attack on New Orleans
General jackson made every possible
preparation to resist them and gained
minor successes on December %, %
and January !.
On January Sth General Pakenham
attacked Jackson's 5000 men who
were behind bales of cotton. AS the
British advanced they were killed by
the hundreds. The slaughter was
terrible but another division advanced
against Jackson's strongest defense, but
the deadly fire Of Jackson's frontier
rifemen moved them down and also
killed Generals Pakenham and Gibbs
who were in command and wounded
the next officers. The British lost 700
killed, 400 wounded and 500 prisoners.
The American loss was only 3 killed
and thirteen wounded.
The battle is the most famous of the
wal of 1872, because it was fought
after a treaty had been made with the
British at Client, in Belgium. There
were no telephone nor telegraphs to
send the news quickly. Because OF the
decisive victory Of the Americans and
because it gave such great fame to
Gen. Andrew jackson that he became
president in 1928.
| JACKSON AND THE PRAYER MEETING
Rev. William M'Kendree, one Of the
early Bishops of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Was a warm friend of Gen.
Jackson, who vas a Presbyterian. The
Bishop use to give some striking anec-
dOtes of the General, one of which is al
follows:
The memorable January 9th was Oh
Sunday. The attack of the British was
expected at any hour, and orders had
been given that no unusual noise be
made in Camp. After breakfast some
of the pious men met in a tent and held
a prayer meeting. Some in the meet
ing becoming SO entbusis sticly noisey
an officer decided that orders were
disobt yed and ordered the prayer
meeting discontinue d. They appealed
to the General who replied: 5000
forbid that prayer should BIZ All unus-
ual noise in my camp" They returned
and the camp meeting went OH unit
they were called to battle.
JACKSON AND THE MINISTER
When President, all Office was asked
| by Il gentleman who presented strong
recommendations to the old hero and
to make it doubly strong, urged that he
was a minister.
President Jackson replied: "Sir, this
being the case, you hold a higher
office, and more honorable station, than
l or any other man can give you. My
advice to you is to make a faithful use
of the very high commission you al
ready have"

School Ventilation.

1t is hard for the layman 10 under
stand why, in this age OF fresh air
CT usades, and when open all schools
ale being provided for tuberculosis and
anemic children, it is necessary to
spend such vast sums upon school ELL
tilating systems. Newark has spent in
ventilating machinery in the last twen-
ty years sufficient money TO build and
equip several schools, and i'll many i'll
stances the expensive equipment have
been miserable failures. A careful and
scientifically conducted test in, say two
schools, one with with ventilation
solely and the other with an artificial
system in full operation, should be con
Quoted. In all probability it would be
found that the latter does not very
materially improve the health and sail
itary conditions. AS a matter of fact,
the artificial system are frequently
out of order, the windows are thrown
open and children seem none the worse.
The decision to require that two or

open during recreation periods is a
step in the right observation-disclosures
Sunday Call.
COMMENT
We publish the above 10 show that
the complaint against expensive school
ventilating- systems which have proved
failures, exist in North Jersey as well
Us in South Jersey. In fact there has
been complaints of failures where the
hot air systems have been installed.
The hot air heaters cost less to in
stall and the promise s'to use Is per
cent. less coal than any other system
HANDLING THE SAME AMOUNT OF
AIR." catches some who wish to
economist toward the taxpay in first
cost and fail to note the Is per cent.
less cost in fuel is compared with other
systems using air and not compared
with steam,
The hot air system drives the air in
with a fan while another fue takes it
out Of the room up a chimney to mod
crate the temperature outdoors. Pri-
vate dwellings heated with hot air do
not have 1ues to take it out doors as
soon as it %circulates across the room.
When there is such a general COM
plant of failures in different parts of
the State, and when the State official
who has the legal power to condemn
buildings admits that there are more
lost days in cold weather in buildings
heated with hot air, there are grave
reasons to question the economical
efficiency of those in State authority
and the taxpayers have great reasons to
kick and kick hard.
Interviews with the experienced
men who handle the coal for steam and
hot air heaters in large school buildings
will give evidence to those who wish to
learn.

WOMEN! HERE'S ONE
Says you save S In an hour by
dry cleaning everything
with gasoline.


Dry cleaning at home is just as SIM
pie as laundering. Any woman can
clean five dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gaso-
line, where it quickly dissolves. Then
immense articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists, dress
es, coats, ribbons, kid gloves. satin
shoes, evening slippers, shawls, belts,
yokes, furs, boas, muffs, neckties.
lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses, dra-
peries, fine laces, lace curtains, wool
en- garments, in fact, any and every
thing that would be ruined by soap
and water as dry cleaning doesn't fade
shrink or wrinkle, making pressing un-
necessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces of solvite at the drug
store, which is simply gasoline
soap. Then a wash boiler or large
dishpan completes your dry cleaning
outfit.-Adv

Yancsi Dolly has capitulated. Like
other stage celebrities who once
thought motion pictures unfit as me
diums for the expression Of their
artistry, this famous danseuse has re-
allied her error, with the result that
she enacts the leading role in kalem's
four-act broadway Favorites" pro-
duction, 1.-THE Call Of the Dance"
1t Is to be regretted that Miss Dolly
should have remained adamaut in her
refusal to be screened as long as she
did. Her career should at once be an
inspiration and an example to those
girls who aspire to win fame, but who
think that the odds are all against
them.
Although the Kalem star but recent
ly turned twenty-one. she has already
had eight years of professional expe-
rience. Her first impulse to dance
came when she was a slip of a child.
Her parents had taken her to see a bal
let in their native city Of Buda-Pesth.
Hungary. and then and there the girl
who was one day to be one Of Broad
ways brightest stars resolved to be-
come danseuse.
But her parents had horror Of the
stage and of everything connected with
it. Did this discourage little Yancsi?
Not at all. In the seclusion Of her
room the child practiced the steps and
movements she had seen. And right
here it may be remarked that Miss
Dolly has never received a dancing
lesson. She is self taught!

Miss Dolly Joined Max Hoffman's own
company. It was not until she ap-
peared at the Brighton Beach Music
Hall, however, that real fame came to
her. As the result Of her work in
vaudeville the girl was engaged to ap-
pear in ''The Midnight Sons" Even
tually Miss Dolly was given the lead
ing role in this production.
One Of the principal events in her
career occurred when Cornelius Van
derbilt, who saw her in 1.-THE Merry
Countess" which had just opened at
the Casino Theater, determined to
have Miss Dolly dance at a ball he
was about to give at his Newport home.
The success the girl had scored in the
production caused the management Of
THE Merry Countess company to re-
fuse to allow her to leave the show
even for one night, with the result that
the famous financier transported the
whole company to Newport for spe-
cial performance. This is said to have
cost Mr.. Vanderbilt $4,000.
Although 1.-The Call of the Dance" is
Miss Dolly's initial venture n motion

artistic is stamped I Jon everything she
does. Her dancing makes this Broad

light. It is safe to predict that the
