breast of lamb" Mrs. Happy Home

kinds of stews. The neck cut in small
pieces is boiled with onions. turnips,
and carrots. and when almost done

thick. creamy paste with milk. Let
this boil with the stew for ten min

informed. According to descriptions
In the hands of the authorities, the

similar offenses. There were two
men, according to Kuta. One felled
him with a blow in the. face. They
then rified his pockets, Kuta claims
When Patrolman Andrew Jensen
found Kuta near the scene of the
crime at 1880 o'clock he appeared
to be in stupor, as though he was
under the influence of liquor, accord
ing to the officer. He talked inco-
herently and Patrolman Jensen
spent a long time to procure a tangi-
BILE story concerning the holdup. The
man bled from above and below the

Colonel Kinstry is Greatly In

With view of promptly acquaint-

officials of the Staten Island Sound

enthusiasts that he will remain in
Office for his full term of four years
and will assist in doing something
worth while for the water courses.
Lieutenant Colonel Mckinstry
succeeds Colonel Abbot as the United
States engineer here. He is the third
district engineer of the government

deeper waterways project here, since
united forces were presented to pro-
cure waterway improvements. Many

formed today by the secretary of the

thing unforeseen should happen,
Colonel McKinstry would be left in
charge of this district for the next
four years, which was much desired.
In order to lose no time Mr. McKin-

Mayor Garretson has been advised
that the commerce of the Staten
Island sound for the year of 1914

GOV. FIELDER URGES
BIG STATE MILITIA
Tells Governors States Should
be Ready to Provide ESQ.,
600 Men for Defense.
Spec. IL by United Press Wire.

Spec IL bU United Press WIRE
Boston, August 27-The closing
day of the eighth annual governors
conference opened with Governor
Stewart, of Montana, presiding at the
forenoon session. National defense
was the subject discussed at the af-
ternoon session. Governor Fielder,
of New Jersey, was the first speaker
his paper dealing with tThe Relation
of the State to National Defense"
Governor Fielder told the govern
ors that every state in the Union
should be prepared at all times to
furnish the government with $780,
900 trained and equipped citizen sol
diers.
This question of national de-
fense," he said, has reached the
point where it has divided the ma
tions into two parts-one advocat-
ing the greater preparedness and the
other pooh-poohing it. l take my
stand with those who believe most
sincerely In peace, but who feel the
United States should make some
reasonable preparations against the
happenings of the unexpected.
THE great trouble with the mill
tia or national guard in this coun-
try Is labor attitude toward 1t. La
Dor claims the militia is controlled
by the employers and in some un-
ions members are forbidden to join.
This should be eliminated by re-
moving from the military duty strike
and labor duty. Most business men
believe in it's insurance. Then why
not insure this country against the
unexpected?"

DOLLAR SIGN is
PROMINENT HERE
Merchants Ready for the Shop
pers Who are Expected To-
morrow for Dollar Day.

Shoppers of this city and nearby
towns are going to have their inning
tomorrow, for this will be Dollar
Day. With the Perth Amboy mer-
chants ready for business, and with
hundreds of wise out-of-town people
ready to take advantage of some of
the best bargains they have ever
been offered, Dollar Day needs only
the sanction of the weather man to
make it a thorough success.
store windows on the main busi-
ness thoroughfares will bear yellow
pennants that will point the way to
the bargain counters where the spe-
cial Dollar Day offers are to be made,
and these bargains will be of the
kind that will repay the out of town
shoppers for their visit whether it
rains or shines.
Suggestions for shoppers may be
found in the pages of today's issue
of the EVENING NEWS, for Perth
Amboy's progressive merchants are
giving in the advertisements just a
foretaste of the bargain dishes that
are to be served up tomorrow to the
visiting shoppers.
some stores are making up spe-
eial com mbinations of articles which
on any other day would be sold at
a total price far over the dollar
mark Tomorrow, however, they
will bear the dollar signs that indi-
cate a greatly reduced price. Other
stores will offer articles with the
even dollar cutoff no the prices, and
still others will slash prices down to
the even mark to introduce their
goods to the Dollar Day bargain
seekers.
Seeking to extend their trade. the
merchants are really going to give
the shoppers that trade here the ad
vantages that they cannot usually
gain, for Dollar Day is designed to
reach people in the outlying districts
so that they viii want to return
again. 1t is not means of foisting
off on patrons the remnants of the
season, but it is a medium of giving
the shopping visitors the very best
treatment at the time of the year
when the counters are brimming
over with choice assortments of sea-
sonable summer and early fall goods
Saturday seems to be the logical
time for staging this big shopping
event, for many people take advan-
tage of the half-holiday to roam
around in Perth Amboy's spacious
and well-kept stores, buying the sup
plies of groceries and other need
les" for the week end, as well as Sc
lecting articles of clothing, furni-
ture, and other things to meet
their needs.
Seekers for bargains will find
many ways of transportation to the
"Pacemaking City tomorrow There
will be good trolley service and good
train service. and those who are for
tunate enough can come in auto
mobiles. Others may come from
Staten Island by boat to take ad
vantage of the rare offerings.
So as not to make the Perth Am
boyans think that the special sales
day is intended for suburbanites
alone, the merchants are ready to
surprise local people with the offers
of the best at the lowest prices. While
Dollar Day was intended primarily
to bring out of town people here,
the wise local people will mingle
with the suburban throng and pick
up some of those once-in-a-l lifetime
bargains.
