GEORGE A. HOJER SELLS HIS
PROPERTY IN JAMESBURG
'peciaI to tho EVENING Jews.

Special to tho EVENING Jews
Jamseburg, Sept. 30-George A.
Hojer, a former resident of 179 Full
ton street, Jersey City, who has been
engaged in the general plumbing
business here for the past year, has
disposed of his two properties here
and with the sale of the holdings,
two records were established for the
same property.
The property was originally pur-
chased by William Hankins for
$1,000, and he added living apart
ment, bringing the cost of the build
ing to $4,000. Hojer purchased the
property for $500 and added
small structure and other improve
ments that brought the cost to him
to an even $4,000. The price real
ized was S4,935-a loss to Hojer of
over $500, or about the same loss
that Mr.. Hankins made on the in
vestment. Joseph Pergoli, of town,
was the purchaser and was the only
bidder. The premises will be rented
by the new owner. Possession will
be given November 1st. Hojer will
return to Jersey City and re-enter
business.

AMERICAN NAVY
PLAYING At WAR
Big Fleet Under Fletcher
Over Eighty Vessels are
Stripped for Action.
Special by United Press Wire.

Special by United Press Wire.
Norfolk, Va, Sept. 30.-While ma
val forces of Europe are in death
grips, the U. s. navy today was play
| ing at war. The gray feet of Ad-
miral Fletcher, comprising over
| eighty vessels, was stripped for ac-
tion, but against only an imaginary
foe. Actual war conditions prevail
ed among the thousands of bluejack-
cts and marines, but their sham bat
tie was in marked contrast to the
real conflict abroad.
For the next few days the semi
annual war game" will occupy the
entire Atlantic fleet. The battle
ground this fall is off the southern
Atlantic coast. Last spring the war
game was held off the northern coast
Hampton Roads is the present base
of operations. The lighting" will
occur at sea, however.
The fleet is divided into two divi-
sions-the Red and Blue fleets. The
actual strategic maneuvers to be
worked out are being kept profound
secret. None but the highest officers
of the fleet are advised. The two
fleets are practically sailing to sea
under sealed orders.
According to the best information
today the Red and Blue fleets win
engage in struggle for the defense
of Charleston, S. c., navy yard, the
Portsmouth navy yard and test the
defenses of fortress Monroe, which
guards the entrance to the nation s
capital and the Chesapeake.
Conditions on the feet today were
those of real war. Grim, earnest and
determined, as If real battle, the
opening maneuvers of the big
game" wrought the bluejackets to
high pitch of excitement Rails
and superstructure of battleships
cruisers and torpedo boats have
I been hauled down. The ships are
stripped to battle condition.
The present war game is of pecu-
liar Importance and interest among
naval officials. Lessons of the Euro
pean war are to be tested. Subma-
r1nes, battle cruisers, scout ships and
mine layers are to take an important
and larger part in the maneuvers.
Some of the battleships have been
designated" as leviathan battle
cruisers. Fuel and tender vessels
have been designated as submarine
craft.
Strategam of the war game was
planned at the Washington War Col
lege. Several problems tested out
in the college this year are to be
tried out under actual fighting con-
dftions. Ability of submarines, with
out other support to successfully de-
fend harbor entrances similar to that
of Hampton Roads will be tested.
Naval hydroplanes will also take
part in the war game as scouts.
Rough weather practice, with the air
craft is hoped for-to test their abil-
lty to return to their stations in
heavy seas. Signal practice and tor
pedo tube drills will also be given.
Upon the war game depends to
great extent the policy of naval de-
rfesRP fsesPlse-to Sc to be adopted by the coming
congress. The success of the subma-
rines will be factO1~in determining
how extensive the submarine bIIiIiT1d~
ing program will be.

HIGH JIkKS" SEATS FOR SALE
AT THE MAJESTIC THEATRE

Dancing" says Mildred Shelly,
who is to have prominent dancing
role in High Jinks," the musical
comedy which will be shown at the
Majestic theatre Monday, lis today
a matter of sharp contrasts.
There are two kinds of dancing
ballroom and stage The new dances
are the rage of the ballroom and the
one on the stage Is reversion to the
dance of yesterday. To one not in
itiated to the intricacies of the dance
this paradox might not seem easy of
explanation. AS a matter of fact,
the present development of dancing
both ballroom and stage as
natural as the birth of the lily. In
the first place there was a real cry
ing need for some form of exercise
for men and women who had been
leading a sedentary life. The new
dances-the one step, the tango and
the maxixe, took on like wild fire
Furthermore, they became SO intri-
cate, so elaborate, so violent, If one
may say so, that no one who in
dulged in them could fail to get all
the exercise he required. Take the
turkey trot, for instance 1t is bet
ter known as the one step. This
dance alone brings into play every
muscle of the body Then there is
the tango and its first cousin, the
maxixe. These dances require so
much time, patience and exertion to
perform properly that no one can
fail by indulgence in them They
may be a fad, but they are serving a
good purpose, nevertheless, and
hope they will stay"

LOCKED IN LIBRARY At
KEYPORT FOR OVER z HOURS

Keyport, Sept. 30:-As a result of
not being familiar with the rules of
the Keyport Public Library, Miss Lii
liam Smith, of Staten Island, who is a
guest at the Walling house, was
locked in the building Tuesday morn
ing for more than two hours. The
library is open only from Q until 5

finding a librarian there she went to
the door to leave the building and
found it locked.
The janitor, James McGee, not
knowing there was any one in the
building, finished his cleaning and,
locking the doors, went down town.
After vain efforts she finally made a
noise which attracted the attention
Of Mrs. R. R. Burrowes who sent
word down town that a party was
locked in the library and E. E. Nor
ris finally located the ianitor, who
came to the relief of Miss Smith.

Its fine. said Arthur. "Tn get
my mother to write out some recipes
for you.
Arthur did. and he gained a good
customer. His sales have gone up TO
four dollars n day. The horse is nearly
paid for. He keeps account of his ex-
penses, separating income from his own
patch, from what he has earned on
truck bought from other boys.
Another man, John c. Woodlock Of
ST. Louis with a salary of never more
than Sll5 a month saved S2O. 200 after
thirty-five years work. which he in
vested in real estate and his monthly
income from rents is now $3.50 q month.
Mr.. Woodlock's rules for getting rich
honestly are worth noting. They are
as follows;
Marry an economical woman, who
will help you to get ahead.
Watch the nickels and see that
that are not wasted.
Don't go into debt for household or
personal expenses-you always have TO
pay more for what you get.
PAY cash. but going into debt on an
investment is a good thing. 1t makes
you save.
Don't squander money on amuse-
ments. A good play once a month is
sufficient for the average person.
Have plenty of good food. That
is economy, for it saves doctors bills.
So VIC see that thrift is n habit, just
as wastefulness. extravagance and care
lessness are habits. and the thrift habit
can be acquired, but not in a day or
all at one time. and it takes patience
and time and self-denials unless tho
habit was early formed in home Of thrift.
