ESSEX FOR
SENATOR EDGE

Newark. July 3.-Before leaving to-
.day on a vacation to visit scenes of
the battlefields of the Civil War, Ma
ior Carl Lentz, former head of the
Essex Republican organization, de-
clared for Edward C. Stokes for Unit
ed States Senator and Walter E. Edge
for Governor.
Edge will carry Essex over Austen
Colgate, in the opinion of the major.
Another political prediction from
the major before he departed was that
Hughes would carry Essex by 10000.
He based this statement on the fact
that Taft had won Essex by $4,000
over Bryan in 1908. The population
has increased since then, he pointed
out; the sentiment was even stronger
for Hughes than it was for McKh-
ley.
1T seems to me to be of importance
that in these days of watchful waiting
only the most capable men should be
called to Office" said Major Lentz.
"The National Republican Convention
has done that. Therefore, l shall
support Edward Caspar Stokes for
United States Senator and Walter e.
Edge for Governor"

FIREWORKS
EXHIBITIONS
Bridgeton People Have
Had Rare Treats.
TWO BIG DISPLAYS
Demonstration on July 3rd and
Greater One on the Night
of the Fourth.

Seldom, if ever, has a. community
had such a fireworks treat as has
Bridgeton upon the 140th anniversary
of the Declaration of independence.
1t was happy inspiration upon the
part of the Park management to pro-
vide its annual fireworks demonstra-
ton on the eve of Fourth of July. 1t
provided the enthusiasm to start the
Fourth early and the holiday spirit
was in evidence early
Monday night thousands of people
flocked to Tumbling Dam Park for
the fireworks display which was made
in the base ball field and the program
was the best exhibition that has ever
been made at the Park. The many
set pieces were novelties and the sham
battle and laundering shells were ter
rifle. The cannonading was heard for
miles about and the bursting shells
in the air were witnessed from all
about the city.
Last night over at the Academy
grounds the demonstration was the
most magnificent display ever made
In South Jersey. The great set pieces
the vast number of bombs, the great
cattle pictures and the wonderful
glare OF binding flashes, aroused the
ten thousand people gathered ahout
'ne ste OF the future High School.
Mr. Charles D. Carney, of the
League House Committee, had person
al Charge of the Academy fireworks
and but for his effective work the dis
play would have been much later. for
fhere was vast work in preparation
Both contracts were handled by the
New Jersey Fire Works Comnanv
and the corporation handled the en-
tire enterprise with rare skill and the
great crowds which witnessed both
exhibitions were delighted and praised
the excellent management.
The New Jersey Company will make
another big exhibit here on Monday,
July IL, when it gives a demonstra-
ton for the Italian Society celebra-
ton.

WATER STREET

From line to line Water Street IS
not very wide, but it is one of the
most important of all the streets in
the city. Just now the small street
Is all torn up and the people are con-
siderably handicapped. The street
department is engaged in tearing up
the street and the block is to be re-
placed upon a concrete base. This
will make decided Improvement and
the big interests will be better served
when the street is relaid.

REMEMBER The SICK

In several sections of the city there
are people who are very i'll and it is

these cases when celebrating the fourth

made to prevent unusal noises in the
vicinity of Bank and Commerce street.

LATEST FALL FASHIONS AS
SEEN BY BETTY BROWN

The newest blouse is really
basque. If you are slim, it will make
you seem simmer - too slim, you
may think, to be attractive. 1t is
made on Russian blouse lines, but
unlike the Russians jacket it has
peplum at the bottom. AS the basque
matches the skirt in color it gives
the effect of a One-piece suit.
Many Of the new blOuses, new
gowns and new bonnets are trimmed
with yarn. Splashes of this wOouy
embroidery are likely to appear any
where from the hem of the frock to
the crown of the hat.
Crepe de chine, which for a time
was relegated to the department of
lingerie, is the fabric from which
many of the new blOuses are made.
Buttons of seal is Dame Fashions
latest frivol They are lovely on
suits or, coats of green or purple or
burgundy VelOurs, Telvets or duve-
tyns. They are not for the hard
surfaced serge.
The frock of two materials and
two coIors is conspicuous in shop
windows. Checks and plain fabrics,
stripes and material of solid color
are combined with striking effect.

MORRISON. NOTES IMPoUNBED

that he knew of, shiVered yesterday
when Judge Lands caught somebody
in a lie.
Two notes for $500 and $4,000
with MoTTison's name signed brought
on trouble. Judge Lands got them
from John Sommers, jeweler at 507

from Morrison. Morrison denied he
had signed them. Then Sommers
said he never expected to collect on
them.
SOmmers told Lands Atty James

saw several yarn embroidered
frocks at a recent fashion show. Not
at all pleased was my fashion eye, as
the yarn sometimes looked coarse
and heavy, but I found one model
and promptly penciled it for you,
which proves that yarn trimming has
a charm of it's own.
Fine serge Of midnight blue is
used to make the gown, which is cut,
as you see, in one piece, but the thing
you'll be interested in is the yarn en-
broidery, worked out in red and blue
and in simple, graceful design. The
yarn works into the serge very effec-
lively.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which lisa
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism apd
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.
