THANK YOU SALE
ON WEDNESDAY
Merchants Plan Novel Event in
Return for Support Given in
Buy in Perth Amboy Drive

Wednesday marks the close of the
'Buy in Perth Amboy' campaign,
which has been carried on throughout
the month by the merchants bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce. Eighty
one merchants in the city joined in the
campaign, and on Wednesday, which
is also suburban day, these merchants
will hold a thank You sale, in this
way thanking the shoppers of this
city and twenty-five surrounding towns
for the great results of the campaign.
even In view of the exceedingly bad
weather which ragged throughout the
first two weeks of the month.
The big feature of the thank you
sale will be a five per cent, discount
on all goods purchased. A five per
cent, discount sale held early in the
campaign on a stormy day proved
very successful and 1t is thought
that with clear weather on Wednes-
day the city and stores will see one
of the biggest crowds of the cam
paign.
During the campaign 1t has been
the object of the merchants and the
Chamber of Commerce to show shop
pers of the surrounding towns that
this city las stores with values and
selections big enough to supply M
satisfy any demands. Saturday was
@ big day in the city and In some of
the stores 1t was impossible to get
waited on. unless one was willing to
wait for a considerable length of
time.

The Chipmuntt,

The chipmunk rs a provident little
chap, and stores up a prodigious guam
tfty Of food, sometimes a peck or more
Of nuts and grain; and when snugly
hidden In his winter burrow, the
mouth Of which he closes when the
cold season arrives, a hard winter has
no terrors for him. His enemies, the
hawks, owls and weasels, may go hun
cry, but safe In the bosom of
mother earth, with the warn man
tie OF snow above him, the chipmunk
passes a cozy winter, in the midst OF
comfort and plenty, dreaming of the
tHne when the south wind will blow
and the squirrel cups shall open once
more.-Boys' Life.

Throughout the islands of the New

MAYOR TAKES CHARGE OF
LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

Continued from page y
make much further rules and regula-
tons (not inconsistent with the
charter of the city. of Perth Amboy
n the laws of the state of New
Jersey as may be oun necessary
for the efficiency, control and proper
conduct of the police department Sec
ton 4 provides that all charges against
any member must be filed in the
mayors office. There appears to be
no section numbered 8. Section 6
provides that extraordinary leave of
absence may De granted only by the
mayor. Section Z. the last section,
provides hat all members o fsaid
police force shall be subordinate to
the mayor
IF the consistency were doubtful 1t
is the rule of law that hat construc-
ton would LAY to be given to the
ordinance which would make 1t con-
sistent with the charter. and II the
ordinance is inconsistent with the
charter without doubt then, since the
charter is an act of the legislature, the
inconsistent ordinance would be of no
validity. This is expressly recognized
in the third section quoted above.
The question of the effect Of rules
and regulations made by the mayor,
superintendent and committee under
the authority of section 3, in addition
to the express limitation that they
shall not be Inconsistent with the
charter, must be answered by the
manifest reference Of hat provision to
such detailed rules as concern the
ordinary conduct of the police officers
in the ordinary performance of their
duties, but cannot be construed to
affect the general and supreme power
which the mayor las as head of the
police force and charged with the
maintenance of the peace and good
order of the city.
There can be no doubt that the
mayor is the head of the police force
of the city to the exclusion of any
powers inconsistent Herewith at
tempted to be given to the police com
mittee by ordinance.

This city is running under the daylight

seems to be running smoothly with the
exception of q few employees at diff
ferent plants being mixed up In the

not understand the plan, some peo-
pie instead of getting their clocks
ahead an hour, turned the time back
an hour. In other cases many peo-
pie did not change their time at all.
A decision by Judge DAILY to run the
orphans court in accordance with the
daylight saving plan Is expected to
cause all the other county offices ana
courts to adopt the new time. The
decision in regard to the orphans u
was reached after the matter had been
