The address was given by DR..
Herbert Patterson of Dakota Wesley
an University. He took for his sub
ject The New America In open
ing his address he said he did not pro-
pose to make any predictions as to
what changes might be made in Amer
lea as a result of the war hut rather
to outline a few of the characteristics
Of Americans, characteristics that
have made for the upbuilding and de-
veiopment of the country. First of
these was Having a Purpose. Amer
lea has always worked with a purpose,
never drifting without a chart or COM
pass, and this characteristic has made
her accomplishments more effective.
The second was Industry. True to
motto of the class, Nothing with
out labor, the Americans were an
industrious people. There is no idle
aristocracy, but all, rich and poor
alike, have occupations.
The third characteristic was Good.
fellowship The ability to make and
retain friends was classed as an Amer.
lean characteristic. The absence O
caste, and a general mixing Of societ,
builds up a universal fellowship ans
interest and makes for success.
The last feature was Loyalty. 81,

The speech yesterday afternoon by.
Sergeant Harold J. Anderson, mem-
Der of 1O3 Machine Gun Battalion in
Gen. Pershing's army, drew out a
large crowd of listeners who were.
eager to hear facts about ermy con-
ditions at the front, as presented by
one lately from the very scenes of
war. The speaker was delayed by
late trains but Immediately upon his
arrival the crowd gathered in the ope-
ra house. The meeting opened with
the singing Of America and Keep the
Home Fires Burning. Rev. Langdon
read the official order regarding the
prohibition Of the German language,
which had just the day before been
sustained by the Council. This was
followed BY the address Of the after
noon.
Sergeant Anderson is one Of the
soldiers sent back from the front line
trenches to tour the United States to
stimulate thespeople who have not yet
been aroused TO the real war condi-
tione. In his own words, there must
be some such people in this communi-

Ruins Useb
To Build Day NurSeru

AvEzzANO, Sept. 2s:-The ruins
left ! n the wake of the Avezzano earth
quake of 1916 are being used by the
American Red Cross as material for
the construction of a day nursery in
the town of Sora, near here. Red
Cross officials feel that there is q
vital n immediate need for such q
home for babies in Sora and the
masses of tumbled wreclxege left by
the disaster offers the only building
material ready for the purpose. AT
the time of the earthquake, the two
towns of Sora and Avezzano were
practically wiped put. But inasmuch
as A~vezzano Is the bigger and more
important place. almost all the help
which vas given to the sufferers by
Italy and the rest of the world at
that time. went to the larger town,
leaving Sora to rest in abject poverty
amongst it's ruins-a poverty which
has been tripled ard aggravated by
war conditions, thus making it a
highly necessary field for Red Cross
operations. Nothing has been rebuilt
in Sora. The people have been COM
PEELED to live IN novels amongst the
fallen walls OF their former homes.
There are numbers of children
amongst these destitute families to
whom the Red Cross desires to give
aid and care. So the rutns will grow
again into homes. A barracks will
soon be ready which will care for four
hundred babies while their mothers
are earning a livelihood and doing
their own patriotic duty by working
through the day at the harvest in the
fields.

appointment of new election officers
in the thirty and thirty-hrst districts
in Tottenville will be made In a few

These two districts were formerly

of the number of women registered

fore. They will be known as the
t~hirty-irst, thirtieth and twenty
ninth. The thirty-1rst includes all of
that territory on the southerly side

Auto Inspector Congfatulates
PickerSgiIl on Work With Vio-

The recorder turned over to the in
spector s1.217 collected in fines from
November 1, 1917, to September 20.
this year.
Mr.. Burton, following his session
with the recorder, said: That is @
great showing for Perth Amboy and
q mark of co~ngratulation for Recor-
der Pickersgill, as well as for the city,
too, in having so active and conscien-
tious an official. 1t shows hat the
recorder has been UNFOLDING the traf-
fc laws of the state and in that way
has protected the public from reck-
less driving and consequent accidents,
as well as holding down the number
of automobile violations.
with the tremendous automobile
traffic through this city during the
summer there has been a splendid
record made for handling the traffic
by the police and where arrests have
been made the recorder has shown
his willingness to back up the police
by finfng the vioiators wherever pos
sible. The amount of the fines coll
|lected shows hat there has been an
excellent Jurisdiction in these cases
here, and I am certainly proud OF it.
The fines are turned over to the
state of New Jersey and are kept sep
arate and distinct from those collect
ed for other offenses. The money was
turned over to the Inspector who, in
turn. will turn It in to the state
treasurer.

Union Service at MataWan

By Special Correspondent.
MATAWAN, Sept. 28:-The first OF
a series of union services which have
been planned tn be held during the
war by the various churches of the
borough, will be held in the high
school auditorium tomorrow night.
This meeting is under the direction
of Mayor Arris B. Henderson, al
though the services will be carried on
by the various pastors.
The address of the evening will be
made by Adrian Lyon. or Perth Am
boy, and will be of q patriotic nature.
1t is intended to have these meetings
take the place of the usual church
services, and to be along patriotic
lines. The meetings will be held the
last Sunday in the month and a diff
fernt out-of-town speaker will ad-
dress the audience each Sunday.
Music for the series is to be supplied
by the Matawan Community chorus.
The general opinion about the bor-
|ough Is that the churches have taken
the right stand in holding these serv-
Ices and each pastor has heartily
agreed to the idea. There is a move-
ment now on foot to not only have
these meetings once a month but to
have them every Sunday evening and
Sunday afternoon during the war. In
this way 1t Is thought hat much coal
will be saved and the borough bene-
fitted as q whole by the patriotic spirit
that will be stirred in the citizens by
these meetings.

Huns.
And last. a tired guy walked In to
rest him from the dust and din, and
found a novel and a fag to straighten
out his mental sag.
Then Jethro said. "At last / see Just

ORIGIN OF NAMES OF HORSES
Dexter christened for Friend OF Own
er; Maud S. for Daughter of Owner;
cresceus for Hippodrome Driver.

Every race horse is required to have
q name. and when a champion appears
many an inquiry is made In regard to
the new performer and especially his
name. Starting with Flora Temple,
the first 2 20 performer, says a writer,
the records show that she won her first
race under the stable name Of Flora.
but no one has ever explained why
Temple was added later.
George. Alley named Dexter for his
friend Dexter Bradford. The name Of
this horse was known to more people
than any one that ever lived. Many a
man who is now gray-headed can re-
call when as a lad his hobby horse
was called Dexter, while the sled
which he was given at Christmas had
Dexter's name or a picture Of him
stamped on II. Also at the present
time nearly every printing office in the
country has In stock a few electros OF
Dexter to insert In advertisements.
The original was a print with Murphy
I'm the saddle. the rider being removed
when the wood cut was made. The
Dexter print was also used by manu-
facturers of weather-yanes for barns
and race track buildings all over the
country.
Goldsmith Maid trotted her first
races In 1868 as the Goldsmith Mare.
She was then owned by Alden Gold
smith. When he started out in 1867
he changed the word "Mare" to
sMaid." r. b. Conklin, the breeder Of
Rarus. declared that the colt would
be a champion, so he selected the Lat
In word "rarus." meaning "rare." to
designate him from the common herd.
He made good. In 1875 st. julien was
named for a brand Of wine. Sargent,
who was training the gelding. asked
for a name to be used In entering
him at Poughkeepsie. On the same day
an agent from a wine house left a SAM
pie bottle on Mr.. Galway's desk In his
New York store. He noticed the name
ST. Julien on the label and told Sargent
to pass 1t along to the horse, which
General Grant saw reduce the worlds
