people shop in Perth Amboy might
be arranged as follows: ADVERTISE
ments. cheaper prices and greater
variety.
Without doubt the greater part of
the business coming into Perth Amboy
from Keyport is due to the ADVERTISE
ments appearing in the EVENING
NEWS. This lac was pointed out by
more than one of these seen by the
EVENING NEWS representative.
Added to this is the fact that of all
the papers circulating in Keyport he
EVENING NEWS has the largest cir
culation.
1t is estimated by some, that at the
present time Keyport has a popula-
ton of between 1000 and $500 per-
sons, but no one could be found who
, would care to estimate as to the num-
Der of people doing business with the
Perth Amboy merchants, n it re-
mains for the merchants themselves
to decide whether or not they are re-
| ceiving their share OF the business
from this town.

Avenues of Communication.

Still a new means of communication
has been devised. No longer is man
to be dependent on the air for the
rapid transmission of messages; for,
a new invention-modeled afloat a
barge in San Diego bay, California
has made possible the sending of mes
sages through air and water. And,
appropriately enough, the test of proof
came when the United States Navy
department sent a message from
Annapolis, Maryland. to the British
Admiralty, telling, in this manner, of
the arrival of the R-34 in America.
Bold adventurer had conquered the
air, indeed, but not long before an
other group, less spectacular, har-
messed the sea and land to their own
particular requirements.

Keep children In School.

"Children should stay in school as
long as possible because education
means better jobs" the federal chill
dren's bureau urges. Boys and girls
who go to work at the end of grammar
school rarely get good jobs. The work
they find to do is usually unskilled;
1t offers little training or chance for
advancement. When they are older
they find they are still unframed for
skilled work that offers a future. Edu-
cation means higher wages. Many
boys and girls when they leave school
find work that offers a high wage for
a beginner. But these wages seldom
grow because the work requires no
training. A position with a future and
steadily increasing wages requires
school training"

services were held yesterday after
noon for Carl Tonneson, of Outcalt,
who was found drowned in the brook
between this place and Outcalt, sew
eral days ago. The services for the
dead were conducted by the Rev. DR..
Phillips, and the interment was In
the Reformed cemetery of this place.
Much sympathy is expressed for
the family of the dead man owing to
the tragic medicines to the self-de-
struction and the means employed by
him. To make sure that he would
not rise from the water after jumping
into same. he made a waistcoat OF
bricks and mortar found near an ex-

heavy load about his body. His feet
were also secured with a rope. The
reason for his suicide is given as that
of melancholy as he feared that he
would become a charge on his family
and his pride made him subject to fits
of insanity.
