THE CHRISTMAS CLUB

There is a vast meaning in the announcement that $4,000 will
be paid out this year by the two banks in this city that have main
tanned Christmas Clubs during the past year. In the first place, 1t
means that a great many people in this community have acquired the
habit of saving. Week by week they have been putting away a small
amount, but, now, at Christmas time, when money is desired the most,
the little savings Systematically put aside each week have amounted
to a tidy sum with which to do Christmas shopping, making possible
the purchase of gifts that otherwise would have been impossible.
In the second place, these Christmas Clubs mean that a greater
part of $S5 900 is going to be spent right here in Perth Amboy during
the next week or two, thereby increasing business and adding to the
prosperity of the whole community.
The advantage of the Christmas Club cannot be over estimated.
1t helps the individual and benefits the community. 1t means a hap
pier and more prosperous Christmas all around

Today We Celebrate
Anniversary OF Birth of Heinrich

<AlihAltCESaA III DiKak Vi LhClhIINdh
Heine, Who Predicted the Down.
fall of German Christianity.
Tomorrow marks the 121st anniver-
sary of the birth of Heinrich Heine,
the greatest German poet since
Goethe, and a prophet as well, since
he predicted many transitions in Ger
man life which have since come to
pass. While Heine is honored rs one
of the chief literary figures in the
German pantheon of fame, he lived
the greater part of his mature life as
an exile from his native land. Heine
who was a Jew. gave evidence of his
prophetic insight by the following pre-
diction:
"Christianity-and this is its high
est merit-has in some degree soft
ened. but it could not destroy, that
brutal German Joy Of rattle When
once that tanning talisman. The cross,
breaks in two, the saTagery OF tho old
fighters, the senseless Berserker fury
which the Morse poets slug and
say 80 much-will gush UP anew.
That talisman Is decayed. and the day
will come when 1t will ~piteousfy col
lapse. Then the old stone gods will
rise from the silent ruins ADD will rub
the dust of a thousand a from
their eyes. Thor with his giants
hammer will at last spring up and
shatter to bits the Gothic cathedrals.'
Heine was born in Dusseldorf on De-
cember IS. 1877. He vas the/son of a
weathey banker of Hamburg, and he
wac given a legal education at Bonn,
Berlin and Goettingen, in the expec-
tation that such knowledge would be
useful In carrying on his fathers
banking business. But Heine was
made of different stuff. and did not
take kindly to inanace or commerce,
while he considered the law an abom-
nation.
Heine's criticism of German lItera-
ture and institutions aroused such re-
sentiment that his native land became
intolerable to him. and he sought a
more c%ongenial atmosphere in Peris.
In 1880 he settled in the French cap
ital. where he supported himself by
literary labors, and remained there
until the downfall of Louis Philippe in

Famous Women
DIR. Elizabeth Blackwell.

The first woman physician in Amer
was DIR. Elizabeth Blackwell, who re-
ceived the degree of M. D., at Geneva.
N. Y, seventy years ago today. Miss
Blackwell was a native of Bristol.
England, but came to America in her
youth. When she was about twenty
one she determined to become a ply
sician. but her application for admis-
sion was refused by nearly all of the
leading medical colleges of the United
States and Canada. A little medical
college IN Geneva, however,. accepted
her, and she became n of the most
brilliant students of the institution.
She suffered. however, from social
criticism in the town, as the Geneva
hostesses regarded her either as in
sane or wicked. Miss Blackwell, af-
ter finishing her course, attended med
ical colleges In Europe and practiced
in several continental hospitals. She
then returned to New York, where
she opened inirmary for womsn and
children and ORGANIZED a woman's
medical college.

AUTO LICENSES

A great many autoists are going to find themselves unable to run
their cars on New Years Day unless they get busy within the next
two weeks and secure their automobile licenses for 1919. These
licenses have now been obtainable at the local agency since December
J. yet up until yesterday only thirty eight had been issued.
When it is realized that last year there were between seven and
eight thousand licenses issued in this city some idea can be had of the
rush that will take place on the last day of the year or the first day
of next year if more do not attend t. this matter at once Auto own
ers who take their cars out on January l and after without a 1919
license have only themselves to blame if they find themselves in
trouble with the police. The law says that 1918 licenses will not be
good after midnight, December 81. To play safe and avoid the rush.
