The German Mark

Questlon-Can you inform me as to
why the German mark is at present
selling at such a discount? Is this
condition brought about by the possi-
biity of the German government re-
nounclng its currency or is it due to
the small demand for the mark through
the customary commercial channels.
H. A.
Answer-The mark has reached it's
present low level because Germany has
been unable to redress her adverse
balance in trade. This may be accom-
plished in four ways-exportations,
shipment of gold, services and foreign
credits. Her expectations are very
small and the balance of trade against
She has not gold enough to be able to
afford the loss of any. Her services,
such as shipping facilities. are not at
her command, and she has practically
no foreign credits. Besides all this
imitation to high degree has taken
place in Germany, all of which depre-
ciates the value of the mark, which Is
not in much demand in other countries
to pay for imports.
Ohio Cities and Booth Fisheries
Question--How do you regard the
stocks of the Ohio Cities Gas Company
and the Booth Fisheries for investment
j. B.
Answer-Ohio Cities Gas, while not
an Investment stock nevertheless
shows fair margin of earnings over
dividend requirements. Booth Fisheries
suffered considerably on account of the
government control of the fish industry
during the war. But since this con-
troll has been relinquished the outlook
for the company is better. The stock,
however, is speculation. If you really
want to invest, with reasonable safety
and stability and fair return, why
not buy some of the seasoned preferred

SOUAH AMBOY, March 14-Quite
an interesting meeting took place in
the smoke shop of Frank Hoffman
recently, when Cooke Gene Clarity OF
Asbury Park, and Private Harry Sto-
maker of this city, met each other,
after not having seen n another
since the day of the fierce fighting in
Ormont Woods on October 18th, when
Company E. of the 114th Infantry of
hich these two lads were members
lost about 400 of the men of their
company. Both Stonaker and Gar
rity were wounded in this fight, each
only p few minutes apart. and it is not
since the time they e both taken
to different hospitals that they had
seer each other.
Clarity, was wounded by machine
gun bullets shortly after the fight be-
gan, but continued in the struggle, but
the wound that Stonaker received by
the Boche machine guns, in the knee,
put him out of the fight entirely. Gar
rity laid on the field of battle three
days alone before ambulance aid
reached him. Clarity was later put
out of the fight by shrapnel bursting
in front of him, wounding him in four
places, breaking his arm in two places.
Their experiences were exchanged,
telling of the events that hav taken
place since since their fighting in this
woods until the present time. and 1t
was the greatest surprise of them all,
to meet on hat afternoon, not know
ing if either one OF them had died
from the wounds they had received.

Miss Elizabeth May Shelters
Bride # william J. KOrbOwitS
By Eperf1f Correspondenf.

c2 ~
SPOTSWOOD, March 1.-THE first
Lenten wedding to be solemnized in
town was that of Miss Elizabeth May
Shelters, only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Shelters, of this place
and William Joseph K%orbonits, of
New Brunswick, held in the Reformed
church Wednesday night. The main
auditorium of the church, was decora-
ted, the color scheme being pine and
laurel, ferns, etc. The ceremony was
performed beneath an arch erected at
tn pulpit.
The wedding procession moved to
the strains of Mendelsohn's and Lo-
hengrin's wedding choruses rendered
by the church organist, Miss Tillie
Hodapp. The terminal of the process
sion brought the wedding party be-
meath the arch where the officiating
clergyman, the Rev. Hogan, pastor of
the New Brunswick Reformed church
awaited the party.
Miss Shelters was dressed In white
satin and georgette crepe, with pearl
trimmings. The costume was COM
pleted with a wedding veil and orange
blossoms. Her travelling dress vas OF
blue taffeta and hat to match.
The attendants were Mrs. Hazel
Grey, matron of honor. attired in pink

nssy7d Of War Work Being
Compiled By High School
Pupils; Is State Idea

A record enumerating the many
achievements and accomplishments
Of this community during the war SO
recently ended, a record indicating
how the people at home through va
rious mediums made life for the boys
in the trenches more comfortable
and made hardships easier for
them to undergo, is being compiled
by the students in the upper classes
of the high school, following out a
recommendation made a short time
ago by Calvin N. Kendall, commits
sioner of education in New Jersey.
Commissioner Kendall feels that
the tasks done by the communities in
the state, n especially the schools
in the communities, have been coios-
sal and that steps should be taken to
preserve a record of all var work
done In every city, town and village
throughout the state.
Mr.. Kendall also fears that IL the
work Is not done at once, while the
events connected with the war are
clearly portrayed in the minds of the
students, that the record of great
deeds done will be handed down to
the next generation and succeeding
generations only by means of tradi-
ton and that thus in time, the many
deeds of sacrifice performed by vari-
Gus communities will be lost sight Of
altogether.
The work in the local high school
is now being prepared under the di-
rectfon of Miss Stauffer, of the Eng
lish department, and Mr.. Bartlett. Of
the history department, and the sug-
gestions made by Mr.. Kendall as to
the methods of going about the work
of gathering such a record will be
carried out by the two teachers.
1t is planned by the school author
tiles to make this work an important
part of the regular English and his
tory curriculum and credit will be
accorded the pupils on the work rel
ative to the merit of each individual
student. The task Of securing the
necessary information and the cor
rect tabulating of the information
when gathered will all be under the
supervision of the two faculty men,
bers who are in charge of the work.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-03-14

Mr.. Kendall offered two sugges-
tons as to the manner In which the
work should be done. The first is
that after a general plan has been
formulated the pupils participating
in the work should be assigned by the
chapter of the record as a part of the
regular routine classroom course.
After each one has submitted his or
her report, thu Whole should be re-
corded in chronological and
the aid of the board of education be
solicited toward putting h record
into well bound volumes. The second
recommendation is h a the boys IN
the manual training courses make q
suitable cabinet wherein the record
might be preserved.
Commissioner Kendall has made
the following suggestions as to what
he thinks should be placed in the rec
ord: Letters from former pupils who
have been in the service, souvenirs OF
war contributed by former scholars
in the school, photographs of boys In
the community who were in the serv-
ice, samples OF war posters made by
pupils of the school, photographs OF
gardening activities in the town In
relation to the food conservation pro-
gram, records of four-minute speech
es made by local men.
1t has also been suggested h a the
work of compiling this record be
done before June so that at the e
commencement Of the high chool the
case should be covered with flags, un-
yelled with appropriate ceremonies
and it's contents briefly described.
Commissioner Kendall said con-
corning his record, IT feel strongly
that where the community a made
no provision for the local history OF
the war and of the contribution OF
the town to this history, the schools
should take the lead in the work
Properly conducted, 1 believe thai
there is great educational value in II
to the pupils and that this kind o.
work, done by the pupils under the
supervision and guidance OF teachers
would be a great patriotic service o.
which the pupils in after years and
the school in after years would be
exceedingly proud"
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-03-14

The only disappointing feature of
the ceremony was the inability of the
Rev. Thomas Easton, D.. D., of Berlin,
Md, to be present as officiating clergy
man.
Following the ceremony a wedding
feast was served. The wedding party
left for New Brunswick following the
dinner, and took the Old Dominion
steamer South with stops at Old Point
Comfort, Norfolk and Richmond. On
their return they will make their
home at Nixon. N. J. where the groom
is a practicing pharmacist.

popular in their home towns. Mr..
