THE SINGING LIFE.

A clear song, cheer song,
When life is in its spring.
With long thoughts and strong thoughts,
And will to high endeavor:
A song of love and hope,
When birds are on the wing
A song of hope and love,
And faith for the forever.
sweet song. fui, strong,
When life is in its prime:
A light heart, a right heart
sturdy heart of oak.
A sweet song, full strong.
deep toned summer chime:
A high aspiring spirit. and
A shoulder to the yoke.
A brave song a grave song,
When life Is in its fall;
A song of ripened harvests,
OF autumn s calm repose;
of old days. the gold days
Fled now beyond recall,
While drawing to the boundless deep
Full tide the river tiows
grave song, brave song.
To speed the waning year,
When winter oer a weary world
Proclams his empery.
A pure faith. a sure faith,
faith to Danish fear
Farewell, the landlocked river Now
Godspeed across the sea.

to the atmosphere of 2 nun Der of the songs
as well as the educational value of the
evening, by brief comments concerning
the setting and color which had inspired
the writ ing of a number of the compost

charm to the old English and children's
song groups.
Miss Hill, heard for the first time in
the college town in concert, played with a
delicacy and refinement of expressionwhich
marks the true musician. AT all times in
sympathetic accord with the soloist in
accompaniment, she proved equally pleas

threshing to catch . spark Of static
electricity in the machinery and
produce an explosion. -
When the aus Of the frequent
explosions began to be understood
attempts were made to ground the
theshing machines with wires to pre-
vent static electricity. Then a fan
was devised to blow or suck the dust
away from the engine. The Depart
ment of Agriculture says tina. 1t has
never heard of any serious explosion
occurring where m of these fans
was properly installed, and that the
insurance companies, which for q
time refused to insure threshing
machines at all, have reduced the
premium on machines equipped with
fan apparatus approved by the gov
eminent.
The fan device has proved of
three-fold value. 1t was found that
IL cleaned the grain so that the far
mcr got a better price for his wheat,
and then q way was contrived for
the smut to be collected instead OF
blown away, so that IL did not spread
over the fields to infect the next
crop. The ~threshing machine diff

q ON ALL VEHICLES.

With the return to the standard
time many Of the employees of local
industries who formerly got home
before dark in the evening now come
home after the lights are lit. Not a
few of these men ride bicycles back
and forth 10 work. Up until the
time changed the ride home was
made during daylight and no lights
were needed on the bicycles. The
sudden change Of time. however,
found many of these men unprepar-
ed and every evening now, along
about $3.50 or 6 o'clock, there are a
great many bicyclists on the streets
riding without lights. There have
been many narrow escapes from
collisions with automobiles. No mat
ter how carefully the driver of the
may be, he comes sud-
denly upon one Of these ~bicyclists In
the dark and 1t is only a miracle that
saved the rider from injury.
The law requires that bicycles as
we'll as every other kind of vehicle
must carry a light at night. This
light should be visible from the real
as well as in front. There is just
as much danger coming UP behind a
..cycle that is being ridden in the
dark without a light as there is in
meeting one going in the opposite
direction.
AS a matter of justice to all, as
well as for the safety OF the streets
dark, every vehicle that travels
the middle of the street after dark
ought to have a light visible both in
and behind. In the first place,
The law requires a light. Secondly,
It is the only fair and safe thing to
DO.

Editor EVENING NEWS:

Editor EVENING M WS.
The article written by J. M. Greer,
Jr., should not be dignified by an
answer as it only emanated from tie
mind of one whose breadth of visioh
Is as limited as his knowledge OF JUS
tice.
But it behooves us at all times TO
he charitable, and instead of censure
we should try to inject the spirit OF
a broad mind which is the funda-
nentai principle of decent citizen
ship. into those whose education was
confined to marrow limitations.
To deliberately misconstrue the
motives Of the Irish race in the
United States is an open acknowledge
ment of bigotry and the bigot Is the
most contemplate thing in any com
munity.
To assert that this country was
fighting for its very existence when
il fed. equipped, and financed half
Of Europe and still had abundance
at home, Is an assertion that only
appeals to our sense of humor. But
here are some who at the mere men,
ton of some foreign power or poten-
tate. become alarmed. which unfor-
tunately proves that we have the
misfortune of having citizens with a
yellow streak.
To say that any country is our al
ly is wrong. The United States was
not, is not. and never will be allied
with anyone. and there was no
more emphatic to render the recent
national verdict than the citizens OF
Irish extraction.
The recent attempt to defile the
constitution of the United States was
fiercely contested by the Irish in
America and credit must be given to
Irish citizenship who financed a bu-
reau in Washington that saw to it that

Even If a man had eight medals

A woman will go down town and
spend the afternoon attending a lee

come home and start to bust up the
furniture because she hadn't time to
Xix him any supper.
Somehow or other you can't get a
woman to understand hat Keeping
a husband is a more important job
than Catching him.
The o. f. man who used to take a

RED II o ROLL CALL.

everybody IN Rertn Amply ouBhl
to belong to the Red Cross. Resi-
dents of this city have good reason to
feel everlastingly grateful for what
this organization has done for them.
Were 1t not for the prompt and
efficient manner in which the Red
Gross came into Perth Amboy and
took hold of things at the time of the
Morgan explosion and during the In
fuenza epidemic that Immediately
followed, 1t would be hard to say
what would have happened here.
Perth Amboy cannot afford to for
get these services. One of the great
faults of the American people is that
they forget too readily. This is true
in regard to enemies as well as
friends. But Perth Amboy ought
not to forget the Red Gross.
OF course, the service rendered
this city in time of distress is only a
small par of the work of this or
g~anisation. During the war the boys
at the front found out what the Red
Cross means. Parents back home
doubtless heard all about 1t in let
tiers and through reports. The Red
Cross was just as much a part OF the
equipment Of the army as the
ordinance department.
Now, in peace time. the Red Cross
continues to carry on. 1t has a great
work to perform in every community.
Much of this work is done in a quiet
and unassuming way. but it is of h
utmost Importance that 1t be kept
IN. Besides being ready to serve In
any emergency it goes into the
homes with its care and relief that
means so much to the stricken and
depressed. Here in Perth Amboy a
great work is being done although
It is of a nature that cannot be talk
ed about publicly. The fact that 1t
is being carried on by the Red Cross
however, ought to be sufficient n
the fact that the Red Cross looks to
the people for its support through
membership in the organization
ought to assure ready response.
The roll call will start on Thurs
lday. 1t means that the names OF
the people of Perth Amboy will be
gone over and an invitation will be
extended to all to become members
for the next year. Their are now
over 5000 members of the Red
Gross in Perth Amboy. These mem
b~erships are now about to expire,
however. and in the canvass to get
the people to renew their member
ships an effort will be made to Sc
cure enough additional members to
make the roll in this city 1000. 1t
ought to be done. The fee Is but one
dollar. Half of this mount is re-
tanned here for work in this city and
half goes to the national organiza-
ltion to support the nationwide
movement. From contributing and
Sustaining memberships. however,
which cost a few dollars more, a
larger share OF the amount is retain
ed for local use.
The least one can do is to pay a
dollar to be enrolled in this great
movement. Perth Amboy cannot
afford to lag behind in so worthy a
cause.
