NAB Z IN RAID
At SOUTH ANBOY
Charged With Gambling Men
Are Fined After Judge Hears
Plea for CIemency

SOUTH AMBOY, July 21:-Head-
ed by Patrolman David Q%uinlain
Officers Ryan, Mccormick and Glea-
son raided a gambling house, Satur-
day night, run over Disbrow's pool
room on Broadway. The officers
gained admission without trouble,
the proprietor personally escorting
the officers to the room where the
gambling was going on. When they
gained admission, which was done
without any noise at all. they found
the room filled with twelve men and
q poker game in full progress. After
rounding up the men and collecting
the cards and chips as evidence they
were taken to the city hall and con-
fined in the Jail all night.
Yesterday morning the men were
placed on trial before Judge Birm-
ingham and a charge of disorderly
conduct was preferred against them,
while Disbrow was charged with
conducting a disorderly house. Judge
Birmingham stated that he did not
want to be too severe with them and
hold them for the grand jury, which
he said he had a perfect right to do,
but he desired to give them a chance.
He then imposed a fine of $40 on
each of the men and one of $25 on
Disbrow.
At this time John A. Lovely APP
peared in the court room and made
an appeal on behalf of the men. He
declared that there was no absolute
proof that gambling was going on.
The finding of the chips, he declared,
did not mean anything II no money
was seen to exchange hands. He
appealed for mercy on behalf of his
clients as he stated they were all
local boys and never had appeared
49, 49, 49,, A4N~ n~ hOnr
ing the plea the judge reconsidered
the fines and reduced them from $40
to SIS and Disbrow's to SIS. He con-
Guided the hearing with a severe
lecture to the men, some of whom
were married and supporting fami-
lies and all of whom come from well
known and respectable families.

Adolph Messler, of 342 Coltax
street, this city, who was the victim
of the old Spanish Squeeze" game
Thursday afternoon when he report
ed to the police officials here that he
had been lifted of about ST. 500,
appeared in court again this morn
ing with a warrant for Percy Mallet.
He charged Mallet as being one of
the men connected with the theft.
Mallet, thirty-seven years old, is a
model maker at one of the Wood
bridge terra Gotta plants, and it was
proven beyond doubt that he was at
work during the time the stealing
was accomplished. Recorder Pick
ersgill ruled the case from the court
room.
Messler claimed that his only
grounds for s~uspecting Mallet was
from the fact that Mallet wore a
pinch back light gray suit identically
the same cut and pattern as the
thieves.

Salaries for Educators

There is cold comfort for the and women
who strive to improve the mental state of the
race. Teachers and professors deserving
their calling in increasingly large numbers-so
FAST indeed that the state superintendent of edu-
cation, in an address here described the condition
in Indiana as critical.
The salaries paid to teachers, who have given
years of their life to prepare for their calling and
incidentally spent thousands of dollars acquiring
an education is pitifully small in comparison
with that paid to men and women in other cal
lings where years of costly preparation III

Who can blame the teacher for DESERVING the

him for seeking an income sufficient to meet the

to learn if they are living beyond their means OR
to find out if a REIMBURSEMENT of expenses would
not be advisable
Reduced to an absurdity, their form of
reasoning is this: If your wife wants $50
dress, and your wages do not permit an indulg-
ence in this luxury, demand more pay so that
she can have what she wants.
1t is this wrong reasoning which has contrib
uted to the industrial unrest of the day. Almost
every one believes he is entitled to obtain what
his heart desires, irrespective of his income
Men and women seek qualification of desires far
beyond the possibility of attainment, and become
dsgruntled and dissatisfied because their dream
does not come true.
Others, carried away by unprecedented in
crease of wages, did not augment their savings in
proportion to the greater income, even after the
increase in the cost of living had been taken into
consideration. Or in other words they spent
more for luxuries and non-essentials and saved
less than they did before wage increases set in
To such persons decrease in the wage scale, or
even it's failure to keep on advancing as it has in
the last two years, seems to be outrage An
investigation of their forms of expenses might
teach them where they erred and how they could
have saved to greater advantage when they had
the opportunity.
1t seems that too many persons have become
obsessed of the idea that extravagances and lux
uries are real necessities and that our economic
system ought to permit them to indulge in all
kinds of frivolities and at the same time enable
them to save large sums of money. The real road
to financial independence in all epochs of the
worlds history has been thrift and economy, the
laying aside of savings, self denial and the vii
ngness to forego present pleasures and luxuries.
We need to re-learn this lesson.

The tuberculosis Toll

That the United States faced greater loss
from an invisible enemy than she did from her
war activities overseas is shown in an announce
ment just issued by the National tuberculosis
Association headquarters, following a country
wide health survey.
Total American deaths in the World war
amounted to 67,882 soldiers, sailors and marines.
Figures just tabrlated at headquarters of the
National tuberculosis Association show that for
the period in which this country was engaged in
war approximately 100000 persons died from
tuberculosis.
much of the numerous death toll in this
country could be prevented" said DIR. Victor c.
Vaughan, PRESIDENT of the National tuberculosis
Association, who will sponsor the Red Cross
Christmas seal SALE "Our data received from
health experts throughout the United States
show more than a million persons are suffering
from the white plague today.
"War bulks large and takes possession Of the
stage 1t is spectacular and therefore attracts
attention. But tuberculosis, even though it
bulks larger, is an unseen enemy and we are likely
to pass by unheedEng
"Shot and she'll MAIN and cripple; the tuber-
cular bacillus saps and undermines. Shot and
shell come crashing through your home and you
rebuild your house. The tubercle bacillus sneaks
in and with pitiless tenacity fingers on until it
sweeps your table bare and leaves your children
pale and istless."
More than $500 state and city anti-tubercu-
losis leagues and associations join the national
organization in its countrywide crusade, which
will eliminate in the Red Cross Christmas seal

chiefly derived. "a; is estimated that $500, GOO
