untary ~manslaughter for the killing of

the night Of Jan. 81 after Mary Powers,
a 20-year-old waitress, had called him
on the telephone at his home, Mrs, Alb
bott, who is nearly 40, quarreled with
the girl and then with her husband, and
at her trial claimed she shot In self-de-
Tense.
Five days after the killing Mrs. Lois
Gilbert, 26, wife Of an automobile re-
pair man, killed herself on Ahbott's
grave; Her name had not been publicly
mentioned up to that time in connection
with the case, but 1t developed later de-
t~ectives had found her picture In Alb

An IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

MANY months of comfort at little
expense" is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California, sums up
his experience with Neolin Soles. Mr..
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes s'1 will have to get new shoes
sometime, but 50 far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Neolin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense, You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for residing. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

A NEW NAME

Members of the Board of Trade are to be congratulated
upon their decision to change the name of that organization
70 the Chamber of Commerce.
whats in a name?" says Shakespeare, that which we
call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet"
And that is true. 1t applies equally well to a civic organ
izaton. With the right kind of men behind it good work can
be done no matter what the organization may be called.
But then, again, there is a great deal in a name. 1t was
Artemus Ward who said: Imagine for a moment Napoleon l.
TO have borne the name jenkins, or Washington to have sus-
tanned the appellation of John Smith,
There is something in a name that, after all, carries force,
weight and character. A dignity is added that counts for much.
The name Chamber of Commerce is much more fitting for
a civic organization in a city like Perth Amboy because we are
in a position to develop commerce. Besides, with the national
body with which this local body is affiliated called the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, why should we not be the
Chamber Of Commerce of Perth Amboy? Especially SO, when
a great majority of other local bodies are adopting the name OF
the national organization.
In fact, Perth Amboy has outgrown a mere Board of
Trade. The organization here is a chamber in every sense of
the word; it has enlarged its sphere of influence and is de-
serving of a name in keeping with its Importance.
1t is up to the people of Perth Amboy to get behind its
Chamber of Commerce that it may accomplish a great work
for the advancement of the city.

"A GOOD WORK WELL DONE

The announcement that the military companies OF the
Council of Defense will disband November Al brings once
more before the public an organization that did excellent WORK
for Perth Amboy during the war. In the first place, the Home
Defense, as tits popularity known, served as a training school
for many a Perth Amboy youth who went forth to serve his
country and who was able to advance rapidly IN the army De-
cause of his service in these home companies. ,sona a.
But the greatest work of the Home Defense was Units pre-
~paredness for any emergency that might arise here while SO
many~ef The boys were away. That emergency came with the
explosion at Morgan. With store fronts blown out and homes
abandoned, there was not a case of lootng and hardly a report
of n robbery, due to the excellent work rendered by the Home
Defense, who, in the early morning hours of October 4, last
year, responded to the special call on the fire alarm and quick
ly took their posts to guard the city.
1t was a wonderful exhibition of discipline and efficiency
and hundreds of people who remained in the city that memoir
able Saturday night did so because of the sense of security
given by the sight Of that man in uniform pacing up and down
in front of the house. 1t was a service not to be bellttied aud
the city will ever feel grateful.
Then, too, in the early days of the United States entering
the war there was a great deal of uncertainty as to just what
might take place here. 1t was a time when the secret enemies
of the country were most active. Bridges were being blown up,
vessels were sunk at their docks and war industries and grain
elevators were being mysteriously destroyed. Perth Amboy
what we owe to the Home Defense for this security.
With the war over and the work for which the Home
Guards were organized ended, the companies will disband with
the thanks and best wishes of the community. They have
served their city Loyalty and in so doing they have served their
country. They were backing up the boys who had gone to
France and helped make victory possible.

WHEN VOTES REALLY COUNT

Every man interested in good government should go to
his polling place today and register his choice for Candidates
for the various Offices to be filled at the general election IN NO
vember. It is foolish to say that it does not make any differ
ence who gets the nomination. There is a decided preference
in both parties and unless the thinking, conservative, lnde-
pendent element in both parties turn out in force today the
smachines" will have everything their own way and then truly
II will make little difference who is elected in November.
Local candidates are we'll known to the voters. One can
readily nick ont the men desired as candidates at the general
election. Really, in local affairs. and county affairs, too, Tor
that matter. party labels amount to but little. Being a hepuD-
lican or a Democrat does not make a man any better qualhed
for freebooter or county clerk; there is no principle at STAKE
The difference is entirely in the man himself. ~
With the state and nation, however, 1t is different To-
dav interest centers in the nomination for governor. The DEM
ocrats have an important duty to perform in RELOCATING the I'M
sneakable Jim" Nugent to a position so far in the rear When
the votes are counted that he will not dare show his head again
in state politics. In Governor Runyon the Republicans nave
an opportunity to place at the head of their ticket a man OF the
highest qualities. He is clean, able and progressive. HIS rec
ord in both the assembly and the senate is absolutely above
reproaeh.
It is safe to say the Democrats fear Runyon more than
anyone else the Republicans may name because there is moth
ing thew can bring against him; he is not even tied TO the tie
publican machine which is doing its best to nominate Bug
bee New Jersey would do credit to herself by having a man
like Bunvou for governor for a full term. 1t is up TO the Re
publioans today to go to the primaries and nominated hiro SO
that the people as q whole may have the opportunity to elect
him in November. s a-a

Daily Sermonette

If we weren't so duh and stupid,
we might see and hear and feel the
spirit all about us.
If our eyes were opened. we might,
as did that young man Of old-told
about in the bible-see hosts of angels
ready to fight our battles.
Most of us remember the story of
the witch of Endor'' who conduct
ed a "seance" for King Saul when he
wanted to consult the prophet Samuel,
and when Samuel told saul that he
would lose his kingdom.
Now either this was a real manifes-
tation or else the bible isn't true. I'd
rather believe that the bible is true.
Some very wise and sincere men and
women have honestly tried to get the
facts about the spirit world and here
are some of their findings:
knowledge among spirits isn't com
plete, even about themselves of the
place In which they live, any more
than 1t is among those of us who will
live on earth, regarding the things of
earth.
Those who were satisfied with a low
state Of morals here, begin life in the
next world at a very low plane. and
cannot enjoy to the full the pleasures
of the life beyond.
Life in the hereafter is progressive,
both In the sense that 1t becomes bet
ter in the next world, and that there's
another existence even beyond that.
Death in this world is painless and
it Is made easier because of the pres
ence of friends who greet us when we
step "over the line"
The spirit body takes nourishment
and Is refreshed. although there is
nothing like "world-weariness' be-
yond earth.
We retain our personalities in the
hereafter, and recognize one another.
We shall be employed at useful
tasks according to our personal abili-
ties and desires.
There are no class distinctions, but
there Is a natural grouping of those
Of similar lasts.
There Is no marriage or "giving in
marriage" but those who truly loved
In this world r closely associated in
the next.
Whatever may have been the meth
DDS of securing this information, there
Is pretty good Scriptural basis for all
Of 1t.
Very little confidence should be
placed in socalled Mediums" Some
of them are honest and produce re-
suits. but the fact hat those who con-
suit them expect definite results every
time they are consulted tempts to
fake, because 1t Is impossible to be
always In a mood to receive messages
from the spirit world.
But most of them are fakes all the
time.

WEAKNESS.

II you're tired, o toiling brothers,
of the chores you have to do, there
are forty million others who are just
as tired as you. Sometimes when my
back Is aching, and my feet are sad
and sore, l remark, Its no use max
ing earnest efforts any more; for I'm
weary of my burden, and my heart is
cold as ice; and I fail to see a guerdon
l consider worth the price. Oh, I'm
tired of splitting kindling and I'm
tired of packing coal; all the dreams
l had are dwindling, and my hopes
are In the hole. All the jobs 1 do are
botches and I'm weary of it all; I
am tired winding watches I am tired
of playing ball" And I look
around for pity, and I find to my sur
prise hat the whole immoral city fair
ly swarms with weary guys. They are
tired of digging Eaters, tired of dodg-
ing the police, tired of shoeing alli-
gators, tired of herding ducks and
geese. They are weary, ever, always,
tired of all this world provides; they
are tired of growing galways, tired of
tanning children's hides. So I'm tired
of being weary when I heal the others
sob; though the path of life be dreary,
1 won't travel with the mob.

Our Daily Special
Beware of A Silent Woman.


Why is it that a meek little paper
weight husband Is expected to fight
the battles Of an aggressive heavy
weight wife?
Anyway a girl would rather marry
the wrong man than run risk of nto
getting married at all.
And the cost of living wasn't such a
much in the old days when folks were
satisfied with iron-trimmed specs
that cost Is cents and didn't have to
have the belladonna effect that cost
SIS.
We never could understand why it
takes a barber twice as long to trim
a bald-headed mans dome as it does
to trim a head of real hair.
If they can prohibit liquor why
can't they prohibit kissing? Kissing
has caused a heap more trouble than
liquor.
Men like to CAB about how gossipy
women are. But any man who isn't a
monumental liar will have to admit
that he is more or less gossipy him
self.
Another mystery is what becomes
of the wealth of hair a oma had
Ave years ago when she was first mar
ried.
1t doesn't hurt to tell the truth once
in a while. Many a mans liquor bill
is twice as big now as 1t was before
prohibition hit us.
A reporter isn't a hypocrite. But
1t is his business to act enthusiastic
about a lot of things that do not in
terest him in the least.
The maddest Prohibitionist in the
country lives in West Virginia. A boy
mistook the poor mans nose for a
red bird and took a shot at him.
And what has become of h old
fashioned tad who used to sing:
"Over the Garden Wall
All women do not want husbands
The only kind who want husbands
are those who have none.
He thought she was the sunshine
of his life last June when they were
married. And she is beginning to
make 1t warm for him.
Nature gives us cold weather in
winter so the can't wear see
everything dresses. This gives the
men a chance to rest their eyes and
relieve the strain.
Women are hard to please. But
you wouldn't think it to look at some
of the things they marry.
rather have her legs thick below the
knees than have them thin above the
knees.
Ever notice that a lot of husbands
look as If their wives got them with
trading stamps?
When a fellow is photographed with
him arm around a girl he'll have to
admit that he Is quite taken with
her.
The fellow who is always using the
old bromide about clothes not making
the man Is the first to notice how you
are dressed.
