W., B. q A. Meeting Postponed.

The special meeting of the stock
holders Of the, Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railway Com
pany, called to vote on the sale OF
the preferred stock held in the treas
ury, has been adjourned until October
IS, owing to the absence of sufficient
Of the stock to make the deal legal.
The management had more than two
thirds Of the stock in hand to vote
on the proposition, it requiring this
amount to make 1t effective. How
ever. it was held that it requires two
thirds of both classes separately to
make the deal legal, and while there
was this amount of the common, the
preferred was not quite up to the
quota, In the meantime the man
agement will seek to get in touch
with the many small holders Of the
preferred who failed to send in their
proxies to be voted at the meeting.
In the deal the present stockholders
will be given the right to subscribe
for the Treasury stock at $3.50, a
share, and for as many shares ,as
they see fit to take. The stock has
been underwritten by Poe & Davies
at Baltimore and Otis & Co. of Cleve-
lapd. These bankers will take all the
stock not subscribed for by the share
holders.

Liberty Bond Prospects.

AZ financial authority lin the Maga-
xine Of Wall street says that the
fundaInental reason for the liberties
selling below par is the advance in
tha GENERAL level of the interest rate
the world over, due to the demands for
cHpitar arising out of the war. Where
% many billions had to be borrowed
aud capital instead of being created
Wis being so merciiessly DESTROYED,
here. was no other alternative but
for the credit basis of the nations OF
the world to advance.
-EnRiantl's credit, which for about
thirty years following 1880 had been
ON q 8 per cent basis or even less. has
declined and is now around E25 per
cent basis These figures are calcu-
lated on. the basis Of yields on con-
aols. French rentes have shown still
sharper decline, and the obligations
az the other nations OF the world have
followed very much the same course
The same authority says that 1t may
confidently be stated that the liberties
afe a Buy at present levels. The later
maturing liberties are to be preferred
b4cause they offer better possibilities
q. benefit from market appreciation.
tho advance of United States credit TO
nre-war level must be q matter OF
Years., but improvement In hoerty
bond prices appears to be a CONDITION
Awaiting us, in the early future.

THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.

A most creditable little publication
has reached us, having been put out by
the boys of Middlesex County Voca-
tional School No. 1 at New Bruins
wick. 1t is called Progress" and It
certainly is all thai It's name implies.
The little magazine has a cover
printed in two colors and on the title
page is the Stars and Stripes in the
real red, white and blue. The general
makeup is most attractive and shows
a skill In the printers art that would
be a credit to veterans in the trade.
The vocational schools in Middlesex
are certainly proving their worth in
every way. With the present scarcity
of labor in all lines and with the high
wage scale it>is becoming more and
more apparent hat upon the voca-
tional schools will rest the RESPONSE
bility of filing UP the ranks OF the
workers as time goes on.

q FACTORIES.

Little children in Austria are dying
OF hunger. Infants cry in vain for
food. There is no milk. The moth
ers' breasts are empty. Babies over
crowd the hospitals. Hospitals are
hospitals no longer. They are called
angel factories in memory of the ba-
bies who die there.
= Barbarian warriors put captive
children to the sword to prevent q new
generation of enemies arising. Modern
civilization has been even more cruel.
1t has cut off Austria's food supplies.
forcing mothers to stand helplessly by
while their babies starve to death. At
least the barbarian sword was quicker,
and the barbarians had a reason.
Civilization is not yet sufficiently
organized to have prevented the r
gedy of the angel factories at its COM
mencement. That, o Lord, Is our ex-
cuse. But, civilization Is well enough
organized to prevent the tragedy con-
tinuing.
We have government relief COM
missions: we have the Red Cross; we
have Congress. Above all, we have
the compassion of u women to COM
pei governing bodies to act quickly.
Every days delay means more little
collins coming out of the angel fac
tories.
The war is over. The Austrians
have surrendered Internationally.
They must do as W. say, even though
they perish. 1t is for America to close
the angel factories. The RESPONSE
bility is ours. For. we have the food.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-29

Labor unions have so limited the
number of apprentices that may be
employed that the number of boys
coming on to fill the mems Jobs later
on is not nearly sufficient even for
present day needs, let alone TO take
care Of the normal growth in the ma
TONS activities. which calls for an
ever increasing number of employees.
This cutting down the number of
apprentices by the unions is a short
sighted policy. 1t may tend to keep
all men employed at high wages ct
the present time. which is doubtless
the object of the unions, but It is not
taking into consideration the future at
all, and the next generation will suffer
as a result.
There is still another phase of the
matter, however. With wages in
some Of the trades at 81 an hour the
employers are not inclined to take on
apprentices for they not only have to
pay the jo~urneymen 81 an hour to
teach the apprentices a trade. but they
have to pay the apprentices wages that
were considered big for journeymen
a few years ago. The result is that
even though the union rules permitted
an unlimited number of apprentices
the employers would put on very few,
if any.
Under the circumstances it is APP
parent hat moro and more the trades
Will have to look to the vocational
schools to fill up their ranks. 1t is
therefore gratifying to see that these
schools are doing such good work as
the little publication Progress" that
has just reached us indicates.

Luke McImke Says.

There never was a case In which a
woman got so hard of hearing that
she was deaf to flattery.
We want to predict that prohibition
will never be successfully enforced in
this country, for the reason that the
Antl-Saloon League is not the Gov
eminent.
You think that you are a pretty
nice fellow, don't you? Well, the bet
ting Is that If you ever had to asso-
ciate with any n precisely like your
self you would want to swat him.
You can't make a woman believe 1t.
But the Photographer Is the only
Beauty Doctor who a remove
wrinkles and blemishes.
We know at least n woman who Is
entitled to @ divorce. Her husband
insists on calling his second wife by
his first wife's name.
One way to get popular and remain
popular is to make a habit of getting
people to believe that they know more
than you do.
When a nan quits working he can't
resist the temptation to go and poster
those who haven't quit.
Don't feel cheap just because you
discover that you have been sold. The
time to feel cheap is when o have
to admit to yourself that you have
been bought.
Many a man imagines that he Is
Strong Minded, when there is nothing
strong about him except his feet.
He doesn't realize 1t. But the luck
lest mar on earth is the fellow who
has a wife who really likes him.
And what has become Of the o. I.
girl who sat on the floor to put on
her stockings?
| Maybe there would not be so many
| divorces if the KKitchen Range
worried a girl as much as the Vocal
Range.

SNOW.

A lot OF snow came down last
night; it's lying round me as /
write, in CHASTITY drift and heap;
it's in the alleys and the news, It's
everywhere, for men to use-the
only thing that's cheap& If snow
would make the furnace hot. and
heat the house, 'twould hit the
spot, and spoil a lot of grief; alas,
it isn't worth a dern; In vain we've
tried to make 1t burn, so we rear
UP and beef. How 1t would soothe
the anguished soul, IL there should
be q fall of coal, or wood in proper
size! 'Twould make the outlook far
more bright to have a shower of
anthracite from these forbidding
skies. We long to see the fireplace
glow, and so we get a raft of snow
that will not even smoke; n so
we sit around and freeze and say
that life's one long disease, that's
ceased to be a joke. My hands are
frozen on my Tyre, there is no coal,
there Is no fire, and knife edged
tempests blow; 1 look around for
stuff to burn for egg or nut or lump
l yearn-and get a foot of snow.
The snow lies deep on dale and
dell: / have a thousand tons to
sell, but no one wants to buy; men
want 1t not, but they'd go broke
to get q cord of elm or oak from
yonder lowering sky.
