II has been furnished by n small
group o. This year prac-
tically iwo thousand people had a
share IN TIE JOY of giving and shared

Fer q Sood many years the Christ
mas FOR the kindergartens "a been
planned by the Mothers Club which
was l-st instigated under Mrs. \.
Batos. When the Parent=Teachers
Association was formed it was deemed
advisable that this body disband and
turn over the work to them but these
few women, twelve in number, de-
cided to remain the donor and
formed into the Christmas Guild.
Miss d'Arveau was then in charge of
tho work.
The new supervisor Miss Alice
.Mihleis found this yea that the need
had grown and with the absence of
Miss d'Arveau from this city the
needed money was not forthcoming.
Finally under the direction of the
president OF the Woman's Club, Mrs.
A. Clayton Clark, who is also chair
man of the League of Girls Clubs of
Perth Amboy, the proposition was put
|up to the League of Girls Clubs and
|670 stockings were made by the clubs
united IN It and a great sum of money
was raised which enabled the Riddles
TO have q wonderful Christmas treat.
!. The little girls in the fourth and
fifth grade made numbers of dresses
in order to dress the dollies and the
boys work on quite some of the toys.

that may be passed by the
next session of the New Jersey Legis-
1t can be changed by sue
ceeding legislators.
1T is possible, therefore, that there
will be some slight difference or pos
sible conflict between the laws of the
and congress. In such a case,
II is familiar argument on the part of
the 'drys' to say that Article VI of
the Constitution of the United States
In that condition where there Is con
fiict, is the supreme Law of the land,
but Article vi only pertains to that
made in pursuance of the constitu-
ton; therefore, II the state of New
Jersey passes q law under It's concur
rent power, 1t will be in pursuance of
the Constitution and not in conflict
with it.
"If Article vi 10 controlling against
legislature the grant of concur
rent power means nothing, n the
nave nothing to do. They would
no right to pass appropriate
for the enforcement of the
Amendment. This argu-
Is clearly without force.
IF the State Of New Jersey does
not pass q law thai Is appropriate and
reasonable the restrictive provisions
of the Volstead Act, no doubt, will APP
ply III view jersey oH lhS othei h"i'u'
If New Jersey does PASS q law h a Is
reasonable and appropriate insofar
the State of New Jersey Is con-
cerned, there can be mo conflict no
what law Congress may pass,
for in hat case, New Jersey, by en-
acting appropriate legislation, would
be doing the Constitutional and prop
per thing, and the legislation of New
Jersey would be supreme insofar as
New Jersey Is concerned.
The statement that 1 nave made
that the Eighteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution was legally
adopted.
ITO my mind time will show that
the amendment has not been legally
adopted In method and in fact"
