MURRETTE
Have you ever seen a jinx at work?
Maybe once or twice the jinx has
tried his malicious pranks on you.
But never has he been so consistently
wicked as in Never Say Quit" the
William Fox comedy which will be
shown for the first time today at the
Murrette theatre.
George Walsh plays the hero in this
fun-packed picture. BY no effort can
he dodge the bad luck which follows
him from the Friday on which he was
born.
Disaster always meets him with
open arms. Even in marriage he can
not find refuge from the crooks and
sharpers who steal his money and ad-
minister black eyes. Though his wife
is an angel of goodness, he becomes
the unhappy father of triplets on Fri.

America, though this country is sec.

In the last 33 years Guernseys led by
far all other breeds in numbers of
purebred cattle imported into this
country, and of the five breeds leading
the impOrtations four were distinctly
dairy types.
More than $3.50 Guernsey cattle
were imported; Jerseys ranked second
in number, with Durhams, including
Shorthorns, third; Holsteins fourth,
and Ayrshires fifth. The volume of
purebred cattle importations has been
extremely variable
These facts are brought out in a
recent publication of the department
of agriculture, which shows the trend
of the industry in this country and its
relation to the world trend.

This has been attributed to the scar

due to the tremendous increase in

victor's Flag Is Always
Placed at Top of Mast.

Originally the practice Of hosting
flags on public buildings only part Of
the way up the flagpoles was military
one. Ever since flags were used in war
It has been the custom to have the
flag of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that of the inferior or van
pushed. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag
down far enough for the victors' flag
to be placed above it on the same pole.
This was a token, not only of submis-
sion, but Of respect. In like manner
when famous soldier died flags were
lowered not only to indicate respect to
his memory, but to show that he had
succumbed to the greatest conqueror
Of all-death, for which flag space was
left at the top Of the staff.

Chronometer Exceeds Its
Previous Record, Varying
SIx.Hundredths of Second.

Showing daily variation Of but six
one-hundredths Of a second, says the
Philadelphia Record, a chronometer
entered in the competition at the Gen
eva conservatory exceeded the former
record made in the year 1891 by one
hundredth Of second. One hundred
and sixteen chronometers were entered
In the 1913 contest, against 1872 in 1917
and 106 In 1916. OF these 116 entries,
five were marine chronometers and Ill
pocket chronometers or watches, two
of the latter being complicated pieces.
Professor Raoul Gautier, of the In
dustrial Arts society, writes Consul
Lewis w. Hassel from Geneva, in read
ing a report on the competition, gives
some interesting details on the tests
which are made to determine the ac-
curacy Of the timepieces. The chro-
nometers are graded on a scale Of 1000
points. The ideal watch would be
granted 300 points for its daily pre-
cision, 300 points for its ability to sup
port changes of position, 300 points
for its ability to support changes Of
temperature, and 100 points for its abil-
ity to resume its normal precision af-
ter the changes of position and tenn
perature. The different deviations OF
time are quoted in Rundredths of Sec
ond. The maximum allowed at the
Geneva conservatory for pocket chro-
nometers is one-half second of devia-
ton during one days run, two seconds
after the position has changed, fifteen
one-hundredths for each degree Of diff
ferent temperature, and two ana one
half seconds of deviation after having
resumed the normal position and tenn
perature.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouble-Take
glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
Larry can make n mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine ID cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage OF attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also TO neutralize the acids
in urine 30 it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and caunot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then TO keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

Less Wheat for
1920
Reduction in Acreage h
Advocated

A reduction in winter wheat acreage
from that of last year, and to pre-
war five-year average is advocated
for farmers by the United States de
partment of agriculture in bulletin
recently issued. 1t recommends that
an acreage of 100000 bushels win
ter wheat be seeded for the 1920 crop
and that next spring 20,OO0,OO0 bushels
of spring wheat be seeded. Under nor
NAL conditions this would give wheat
crop Of S30,OOO,000 bushels. 1t would
be enough for normal consumption. and
give an exportable surplus of 100000
600 bushels. A rye acreage of $780,
900 to 100000 bushels is advocated.
A crop of 75,000,00O bushels would give
100000 bushels for consumption and
25.000O00 bushels for export.

WOULD END ALL DOUBT

A striking illustration of the advantages Of commission
form of government is to be had in the present dispute over.
who is the head of the police department in this city. of
course, there is the chief of police, or superintendent, who is
the active head and over him has always been supposed to be
The mayor. A recent opinion by the city attorney, however,
says that the chairman of The police committee of the Board of
Aldermen is the chiefs immediate superior and that the mayor
is at the head only in case OF riot or similar disturbance. But
others do not hold that idea.
With so many bosses the chief hardly knows what to do,
especially if the bosses should have a difference of opinion and
give contradictory orders. Then, for the disagreeable things,it
is so easy to dodge responsibility. As matters stand now the
chief can say he is following instructions of his superiors and
the mayor can say that the head of the police committee of the
aldermen is the one responsible, while the alderman can de-
clare that the mayor is nominally the head of the police, and
SO it goes.
Under the commission form of government the city is run
by a commission of five or seven men elected by the people,
just as a board of directors of a large corporation is elected
by its stockholders, and a municipality is nothing more or less
than a large corporation spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually for the benefit of the taxpayers who expect
dividends in the way of improvements with a low tax rate.
One of these commissioners is in direct charge of the
Department of Public Safety which includes the police depart
ment. The chief is d directly responsible to this commissioners
and he, in turn, is directly responsible to the people. There
is no doubt as to who is boss. If that one commissioner does
not handle the affairs of the police department to suit the peo-
pie they can put into operation the recall and have him ousted
from office at any time during his term after one year. Because
of this direct responsibility and the possibility of recall the
commissioner sees to it that conditions are about as they should
be. And this is true of every other department of city govern
ment.
Perth Amboy is going to have commission government
some day and then there will be no doubt as to who is the head
of the police department., or any other department of the city.

"A DANGEROUS CONDITION

Something certainly should be done to relieve the condi-
tons at the beach fronting on the Hayes tract which is to be
used for a playground this summer. The request of the d-
rector of the girls division of the War Camp Community Serv-
ice acting for and with the play ground director, calls attention
to one of the city's sore spots that ought not to be allowed to
exist.
The sewer which empties on the beach at the Hayes tract
is a menace to the whole city, whether the beach is used for
bathing purposes or not. If we have money for paving streets
and making other improvements surely we ought to be able to
look after such a menace as this.
But the beach is badly needed for bathing. 1t is well
becomes during the hot summer days. On some occasions
last SUMMER it was almost impossible to strike out to swim so'
thick were the people in the water. There is a beautiful sandy
beach on the Hayes tract made absolutely useless because a
sewer empties directly on the sand and the discharge is al
lowed to flow down across the beach to mingle with the water
as it washes up on the shore.
There is grave danger of an epidemic lurking here. A few
children made sick by such a condition might easily carry the
germs elsewhere and the disease would spread rapidly.
But the Hayes tract is not the only spot where such a
menace is to be found, although it is most important, probably,
because of the playground to be established there. All along
the river front the beach is spoiled by open sewers. There i S a
difference of opinion as to what should be done with them. One
idea is to gather them all into one trunk sewer and carry them
out from the foot of High street for a thousand feet or more.
The real solution would be found in a comprehensive city
plan which is now meeting with so much favor everywhere.
Once a city plan is adopted this sewer problem along the river
front should be among the first things remedied in accordance
Herewith so as to remove the menace to health and at the same
time restore the beaches to the use of the people.
But it will be some time before a city plan can be COM
pleted. Until this is done some effort ought to be made to re-
lieve the condition at the Hayes tract so as to make it safe forl
the purpose for which It's to be used this summer.
