The State Board of Health has
counted up the birth and death rate of
babies in Penns Grove and Carneys
Point and they believe that the death
rate should be reduced, so they have
employed a nurse at $4,000 a month
to see that babies are better cared for.
Some of the ~altrustic and benevolent
women Of old American stock, who
have not borne their share of four to
keep up the death rate and normal in
crease, have become very much inter-
ested. An American socialist has de-
clared such are patriotic sIackers.
But then it is better to be interested
in the babies of others than to have a
poodle dog.
The new Soviet socialistic govern
ment in Russia has made a law that
every mar and woman between 20 and
Is years shall marry. The children
are to be wards of TIE state. We
have started on the road.
When the State can pay $50 and $50
a month for nurses and provide free
hospitals to insure abnormal increase
in birth among foreigners and can not
provide the same for teachers some
foolish citizens begin to think and ask
the motive for and reason why?
1t might be wise for those who
never had their thinker Jared to in
quire and read up a little on Ameri-
canism and the national problem be-
fore US. How best to Americanize
their minds.

The regular meeting of the Woman's
Club was held in the High School last
Tuesday. A large part of the after
noon was given over to business.
There was time however for the pres
entation Of an excellent program pro-
vided by the Chairman of the Depart
ment of Nature, Mrs. C. H. Bridge
man.
Miss Hannah Summerill had a fine
paper, "Victory Gardens" which was
read by Mrs. G. A. Cox. Miss Sum
merrill reviewed the history of the
Garden movement from the beginning
of the war. She showed the need and
urged the continuance of gardening as
a means of restoring peace among the
nations of the EARTH.
Mrs. Howard D. Miller read a short
poem, 1.-TWO Kinds of People-The
Lifters and the Leaners."
Mrs. w. F.. Atkinson sang in excel
lent voice a delightful solo, "Sunset,"
by Dudley Buck. The Club appreci-
ates the generous favors of Mrs. At
kinson's splendid talent, which she
from time to time so graciously be-
slows upon them.
Mrs. William A. Summerill had an
excellent article, full of concise in
formation, "What Science Has Done
For the War;" Mrs. Summerill re-
lated how the scientists, chemists and
engineers; of America had labored, dis
covered and perfected various sub
stances and processes n~ecessary-to pro-
duction of wal materials. She spoke
of the discoveries of manganese ore,
the adaptation of platinum in war
manufactures and perfection and pro-
duction of Ceases" in such quantities
that had not German defense collapsed
in November by spring the United
States would have had sufficient for
all fronts to cause complete annihila-
ton of the entire enemy forces. Ger
many probably knew this and thought
best to give up rather than be wiped
out.
DR.. Arlington Bridgeman with Mrs.
W. F. Atkinson at the piano, delighted
the assembly with a cornet solo, full OF
melody and pleasing rymth.
After the program, Miss Rena b
Leap spoke for the Memorial Hospital

Barton Auto Exchange to Do Large
Business.

The Barton Auto Exchange is the
name Of new concern in town which
promises to become the leading auto
mobile concern in the southern part
of the county and one of the largest
in the entire county.
The name auto Exchange" must
not be construed as meaning neces-
sarily an exchange mart for automo-
blles because the concern will handle
several lines of leading cars includ-
ing the Chevrolet and bort. Orders
for nearly so Chevrolets have already
been placed and a carload of Dorts
are expected in this week
The line will include the Four
Ninety, the Baby Grand, the Chevro-
let-Eight, Chevrolet trucks and clos
ed cars. Prices, size, weight and
style requirements of all can be found
in the line. Headquarters of the
concern will be in the building near
the Peerless factory formerly occu-
pied by the Crystal Lake livery. Al
terations will be made and the~place
put into first class shape.
Besides the Chevrolet cars a COM
plete line of Chevrolet parts will be
carried. The agency for these cars,
as well as the bort, is a county
agency but sub-agents will be ap-
pointed in the north end of the county
and the agency for other cars is ex-
pected to be taken on by this con-
Germ.
Ray P. Webster is proprietor OF
this new concern and Fred J. Jarvis
will be manager. The men behind this
concern assure its success.
