HAD DESERTED FAMILY

One Of the sad sides of life has been
brought out through a membership
certificate sold by the local chapter
of the Red Cross during the member
ship drive of that organization at
Christmas time.
A letter was recently received by
the local chapter from a woman In
Pittsburgh. stating that about the
first of February she received a mem
bership certificate from them made
out TO her husband, and begged OF
them to inform her where she could
find him, on account of small children
he left.
The woman was Informed that the
local chapter could not give h ad-
dress of the man who purchased the
subscription as the purchase had been
made through a solicitor stationed !
one of the cigar stores in this city.
The man in question was stopping at
one of the hotels and was in company
with two other men when h pur-
CHASE was made.

There Is no dearth of honest enthu-
siasm for war work among women,
but there Is too much misdirected
ambition.
Most women understand clearly that
they are drafted into their countrys
service, but toe many of them insist
on being officers. Common service
and the routine of the rank and file
doesn't attract them.
Young girls who have an u
dance OF energy waste it thus:

lie the opening bill Of the Jack X.
Lewis players who open a permanent
! stock season at the City theatre a
| week from Monday. This play has
been selected not alone for Its merit
but because it gives every one In the
| company q chance to display their
ability, for Mr.. Lewis knows that the
playgoers of this city are anxious to
see what kind of actors comprise his

in Perth Amboy and a production
equally as good as that seen when 1t

The plays are to be changed each
week, matinees will be held daily
with evening performances every
night with the exception of Thursday
as Thursday nights were rented to
another organization before III con-
tract for the stock season was closed.
The matinee prices will be ten cents
for children and twenty cents for
adults with an evening scale of twen-
ty cents in the balcony unreserved
with the entire lower floor reserved
at thirty cents with a few choice rows
at fifty cents. This, however, does
not include the war tax which the
Government imposes on all tickets to
amusement which must be paid by
the purchaser of the ticket. A reser-
vation list will be kept and patrons
may reserve their seats in advance
and they will be held for them until
