1915 KS CLUB PLANS
CAM0UFLAGE DANSAN I

The 1915 KS of the local high
school has again set its wheels into
motion and is preparing to launch a
surprise in social activities. The mere
mention of the 1915 k-Kubers imme-
diately recalls to mind the many
select dances at the old Raritan
Yacht Club, the many straw rides, the
wintry sleigh rides and the summer
sailing parties.
The latest venture of the rs Kubes,
not by any means the last, is to be
of such q unique character as has
never before seen in this city and is
to be known as the 1915 KS Camou-
f1age Dansant." This exquisite affair
will be given during the Thanksgiv-
ing week in order to enable the old
friends of the is Kube who are now
at college or in the service of our
country to be present at this merry
reunion.
The K-3 Alumnae has given many
men to serve the government and al
though most of the invitations will
be given to these members of the K-3
organization, q few will be saved for
the intimate friends of the Is Kube.
This renaissance of the Kube will also
act as an informal initiation of the
newly selected ks of the 1918 class
of the high school.
The 1915 KS components are Vic
tor H. Main, Harold Van Syckle. Per-
cival j. Quackenbush. Harold BRIGGS,
Leo s. Lowenkopf and Herbert
Kutcher. Victor Main is in the am
bulance corps Somewhere in New
York" and P. Quackenbush, of the
United States Naval Reserve force,
has been granted a leave Of absence in
order to finish his education at the

RESERVE DECISION IN COURT
ACTION ON STATE ROAD TAX

TRENTON, Nov 9.-Practically all
the arguments which have character
lied the attacks on the Edge direct
state tax for roads were repeated
here yesterday when Part Two of the
Supreme Court, comprising Justices
Garrison, Black, and Bergen, listened
to reasons why the law on the SUBJECT
should be set aside. George l.. Rec
ord made the chief argument for the
complaints, James Bowen. of Jersey
City; Board of Works Commissioner
Charles 2. Gillen, of Newark. and
Charles f.. H. Johnson. of Passaic.
First Assistant Attorney General
Herbert Boggs represented the State
opposing the granting of writs to set
the law aside. The decision was re-
served by the court
The constitutionality of the Edge
act, which is the bone of contention In
the suits, was dwelt upon at length
by both sides. Mr.. Record reiterated
the contentious that the measure fails
to include public utility corporation
franchises, shares of banking assocla-
tions and trust companies and the real
and personal property of the Society
for Useful Manufacturers in Paterson,
estimated at several million dollars
He also claimed the road tax is uncon-
stitutional because it does not pro-
vide a uniform rule for the apportion-
ment of the tax. Mr.. BoggS, answer
ing these contentious, said, respecting
the bank stock, that the act for the
taxation of banks and trust company
shares exenpts that class of property
of all other taxation. state, county, or
local. He said it is within the power
of the legislature to exempt class OF
property from a particular tax If the
is legitimate, and to i'm
pose tax exclusively upon other classes.

Clubs establish, equip and give Its
active support to a Rest and Recrea-
ton clubhouse for the use of the SOL
diers at Camp Dix, Wrightstown."

by the convention because of the ever
increasing number of troops assem-
bling at Camp Dix, the isolation of
Pines in southern New Jersey; the

leave camp territory.

few minor repairs. The house is
named The Haversack. Soldiers Club,

about ten days.
The item of rent is a big one
$500 year, but is a bargain at that.

and we have to pay six months rent
in ADVANCE" the letter stated.
"If the nineteen clubs in the Third
District will each contribute some
thing toward the rent it will be
great help. etc. This is just as much
war work as the Red Cross or any
thing else is, for 1t is for the moral
welfare of the sons and husbands OF
many of the New Jersey women.

tors knew there was a campaign on.
The people gave $5,000,0e0 instead or
$4,000, 900 but military developments
have been SO rapid in the last eight
