OF the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of sof, aspbalts

destructive to the ordinary roof.

is the result of long experience. 1t produces
arooflng more pliable than those which have
less saturaton, and which are, therefore
harder and drier.

test and blend the asphalts used; also to exper.

Summer Outpouring
Of Lovely Music

Song came to Madison Square Gar
den again on Tuesday night when the
hundred vibrant reeds and shells in
the hands of the Civic Orchestral
players responded to the master i'm
pulse of Conductor Rothwell. Under
his almost clairvoyant urge the soul
of List and Wagner, Bizet and
Strauss shed their radiance in glow
and CLEAN, in blaze and burst, over
the wrapped hearers, painting again
the magic happenings of the gods in
Valhalla, in Wagner's "Rheingold";
and the tornado surge of the Gypsy
Dance, and the Habanera, from Gear
mem; the oceanic lunge of the Wand
ering Jew of the sea in Wagner's
"Flying Dutchman"; and the Hun
garian Phantasy of List with
Paolo Calico at the piano.
The concerts are an almost perfect
picturing in sound and tone of the
mighty epics of our species, and
should not be missed by any who can
possibly take them in, one or all.
Prices are 10 cents to so cents, each
Tuesday and Friday night.

Children's Eyes

Parents, do you know whether your
children have good eyesight? Do you
know whether they are "1ong-sight-
ed" "near-sighted" or "color-blind ?"
Do they often complain of being
tired, or of having headache when
they return home from school? Do
they dislike school? Are they sleepy
and dull when trying to learn their
home tasks? Is it hard for them to
keep up with their class? Are they
inclined to "play hooky?" Do not
punish and scold them until you first
find out whether there is not some
physical cause behind it all, so that
you may not regret later and blame
yourself for neglect or injustice.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
to the lawbreaker in court. Ignorance
is no excuse for neglect of your chill
dren. Many of the headaches Of chill
dren and others are the result of eye
strain caused by the attempt of the
delicate eye muscles to overcome the
defect. This overtaxing strains the
muscles, then the letters blur or run
together, the child feels tired and the
eyes pain or headache follows. Do
not neglect your children's eyes!
A little boy once said to his school
mates: II don't make any more mis-
takes in my music" This little boy
had such poor eyesight that he could
not read letters three and one-half
inches square more than six feet
away from him, and yet he had been
repeatedly punished by his violin
teacher for making mistakes while
taking his lessons. Just think of it
punished for making mistakes when
he could not see his notes plainly.
How did he find out tht his eyes
waere week? The school teacher had
been making tests of the sight of her
pupils and had discovered that this
boy could not see we'll. She reported
the fact to his parents, who got
glasses that made him the happiest
boy in the school, saved him many
undeserved punishments and caused
him to say: 81 don't make any more
mistakes in my music"
This boy did not know, nor did his
parents know, that he could not see
so well as any other boy, and his mis-
takes were thought to be from care
lessness and inattention.

Sounds At Night

Squirrels are running on the roof,
Hear them pitter-p atter.
Simon's getting in the wood,
Hear the woodbox clatter.
Now he's filling up the troughs,
Hear the bucket straining.
When the poplars culver so
Don't it sound like raining?
Smell the phlox beside the we'll,
Amt them awful sweet?
Simon's creaking up the stairs
In his stocking-feet.
Fathers locking up the barn.
Burleigh's dogs a-howling-
Skunk or something prowling round,
There's Old Tiger growing.
Mothers mixing up the bread,
Hear the spoon ker-lumping.
Fathers pulling off his boots,
There they go ker-thumping.
Simon's started in to snore,
Don't he beat the dickens?
Hope that skunk won't make meal
Off of mothers chickens.
What's that scratching noise hear?
Perhaps it is mouse!
Huh! it's just the locust there
Scraping 'gainst the house.
When it thunders in the night
Makes me sort of creepy
Didn't want to come to bed,
Course I wasn't sleepy!
Shouldn't wonder if it rained,
Hear the wind a-blowing!
Why! it must be morning now,
There's my banty growing.

there to force improvements on the
taxpayers, and that the council would
postpone all further action for two
weeks to enable her to get up the
protest petition. There are about
5000 feet Of property along the line
of the proposed improvement and the
two DIRECTORS represent about 275
feet.
MIR. Flood Opposes Work
Councilman Flood spoke against
the apportionment of the cost of th1
Improvement. He said high taxes
were responsible for the large num-
Der of houses with "For Sale" signs.
Mayor Cadien asked him how the
town was to progress without modern
improvements. He replied that he be-
licved in improvements, but that they
were coming too fast. He asserted
that 70 per cent. of the houses in
town were for sale, and that pros
pective residents were scared away
when they inquired about the tax
rate.
Mr.. Sammis Denies
Councilman Sammis made little of
these statements and claimed that
the contrary was true. He said
houses were being built in great num-
bers and that the town was enjoying
boom that it never before expert
enced.
Winterburn Grove
Bids were opened for the sewer on
Winterburn Grove. The award was
made to the Bergen Contracting Co.,
for 1924. The other bidders were:
Antonio Capone $3,659; Sam Linardi
& Co. $4,266.50.
The Bergen Contracting Company
was awarded the CONTRACT for grad
ing, matchmaking and otherwise i'm
proving the same street for $500.
Antonio Capone put in bid for
$11 ,164.50.
Jersey Avenue Sewer
Bids were received for the Jersey
avenue and Park place sewer, but the
award was not made owing to the
failure of all property owners to
sign the easement drawn up by At
torney Agnew. Efforts will be made
to secure the signatures this week
and if this is done the contract may
be awarded at special meeting on
Monday. Four bids were received:
Antonio Capone $3,652.08; Louis Cap
porale $3,993.32. The Bergen Con-
tracing Co. and Sam Linardi & Co.
submitted bids but the lump sum was
not given. Mr.. Agnew reported that
the right of way across the trolley
property at this point was still in
dispute.
Police Want Wage Increase
The men of the police force petit
oned for an increase in pay from $2.79
to $500 day. The road gang SUBJ
mitted similar petition. They want
their wage raised from $500 to $3.50
for day of eight hours. No discus
sion took place at the meeting, the
petitions being referred to the police
and roads and sewers committees re-
spectively.
Mrs. Callaghan Protests Again.
A petition was presented for a con-
crete sidewalk, curb and gutter on
both sides of Knox avenue from
Anderson avenue to the cliff. An or
dinance covering the matter passed a
first reading and objections were
ordered advertised for. Mrs. Callag-
han arose and protested in vigorous
tones. She said the freeholders that
signed the petition didn't even live on
Knox avenue. Mayor Cadien inform
ed her that signatures of abutting
property owners were not necessary,
| for if these objected to the improve
ment, they would be given ample OPP
