Exertion Is Too Great for
Woman's Heart
Spccio. Dispatch to The Tribune

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. "a laugh
caused the death of Mrs. lmogene
Meyer, seventy years old, to-day in the
Cooper Hospital. The exertion was too
great for her weak heart. She was
suffering from broken hip.
The family of Mrs. Meyer, knowing
her condition and the danger/of hearty
laughter, was always cautious not to
excite any merriment in her presence,
but something caller said to-day
started the patient laughing. She APP
parently realized her own danger but
that failed to stop her.

Sheer navy blue linene is another

throughout with dark blue eyelets, for
eyelets are now constantly recurring
in the mode.
A wonderful evening gown which is

fact that they are perlshable In the

In pastel shades and colorings these

pinks and yellows are fascinating.
Often they are trimmed with nothing
at all. but are SO constructed and
shaped that their rolling brims and
their softly folded crowns take care of
the whole duty of hat. Then there
are some which are trimmed with big
splashing bows OF the same material.
Others are done with fiuted bows TO

To launder Worn Curtains.

Darn all holes by placing tissue pa
per underneath, then sew closely on
sewing machine. Make suds hot
as can be borne on the hands. Fold
the curtain flat, small enough to go
through the wringer. Work carefully
with the hands, press through wiring
or. If much soiled use another suds,
rinse and starch without unfolding,
using wringer for each. Spread sheets
on carpet and pin. Carefully un-
fold curtains, spread out perfectly true
and even. then pull out each scallOp;
the wet curtain will adhere TO the
sheet without pinnlng and when dry
will hang as true as If stretched on
frame.

OLD PILOT ON A

William Jennings Bryan again Is
en- deck.
whether he is TO be the pilot, or
the pilots advisor. the throne, or
tho power behind the throne, is not
| so clear now. One thing. however. Is
certain, Bryan has climbed aboard
the somewhat we~ather-beaten ship
Democratic party. Naturally this
doesn't tickle everybody on the craft.
But he's there nevertheless.
The only question. according to
Harry B. Hunt, Washington corre-
spondent for the Newspaper Enter
prise Association, seems to be: VIII
simply set the course for another
helmsman?
Most every American voter Is in
terested IN: VIII Bryan be the
Democratic candidate? Does he want
to be7
! Hunt replies:
'Those who know Bryan best be-
iieve that he has re-entered the poll
teal arena, not to capture or attempt
to capture any nomination for HIM
self, but to see that the political
program laid down by his party is a
liberal and appealing one"
Being a presidential candidate is
no new thing for Bryan. No man
better than Bryan knows how rocky
the road is for the Democratic can
| didate when the Republicans are on
the outside, and therefore not fight
ing among themselves. Bryan also
| knows the power of the G. O. P.
| bar'l when II Is we'll filled, as II
promises to be this campaign.
But Bryan is a fighter; a natural
| born leader. Probably no other
Democrat commands an equal fol-
lowing, not oven the president, a fol-
lowing, not even the President, a fol-
holders. And Bryan Is far from be-
Ing a reactionary. Therefore you
may expect Bryan to be In h thick
| Of the campaign. Fol that reason,
we believe, he has climbed aboard
the aforesaid Democratic craft and is
making motions which look like the
taking over OF the steering wheel
! Whether they'll let him do the steer
ing Is another question.

Ripping Rhymes

e.

Some countries have no wealth
er embracing ice and snow; for
twelve long months together the
balmy breeZes blow; and some
times when I'm weary OF sullen
skies and dreary, and chill winds,
sad and eerie, I to such lands
would go, I'd dodge the wintry
rigors and atmospheric crimes;
but then 1 think of chiggers.
which haunt the sunny climes;
and there the skeeters carry their
drills and raise Old Harry, and
I resolve to tarry at home and
write my rhymes. In summer
time I'm lazy land have no pep or
vim; and I feel tired and crazy.
and weak in every limb; I spend
the long day resting, flies In my
whiskers nesting. and all my souls
protesting when 1 must write a
hymn. If 1 were camped where
breezes IRE always soft and mild,
my verses would be cheeses. and
readers would be riled; for he
who'd do some trilling and earn an
honest shilling must feel his pulse
thrilling with pep and vigor wild.
The wintry winds are wailing
throughout the bitter night, and
chunks of snow are sailing around
me as I write; but cold Is stimu-
lating; with zeal that's unabat-
ing my deathIess PONIES I'm GRAFT

THE CENSUS SHOWING

Census taking In Perth Amboy is
supposed to be completed. FOR d
work that means so much for the
city very little has been heard abon
1t. Yet the standing of Perth Amboy
among her sister municipalities for
the next ten years depends on the
outcome of the count as made.
Perth Amboy likes to think of her
self as a city of from fifty to sixty
thousand people. Unless the canvass
made by the census enumerators has
been very thorough the figures are
going to fall below that total. While
there was an enormous population
here during war activities it is known
that thousands of peop'e have since
departed. Not only has there been
but little added TO our POPULATION
through immigration during the past
FIVE years. but hundreds of those who
made their home here have gone
back to the old country.
The fact remains. however. that
many new houses have been erected
since the last census was taken and
all of these are occupied There NAV

THE AUTO SHOW

Perth Amboy Is going to have its
first automobile show. 1t promises
to be an event well worth while,
thoroughly in keeping with the en-
terprise Of the dealers here and the
progressiveness of the c&S. There
are a great many different makes OF
automobiles represented IN Perth
Amboy and 1t will be decidedly inter-
esting to SEQ them altogether once,
set off at their best.
Automobiles have passed the lux
ury stage. They are now in the same
class with the telephone-they are
essential TO modern business. Even
for the private family the automobile
has become one of the principal
means OF recreation and recreation
Is necessary for everybody.
When the automobiles are all lined
up at the show to be held here in
the spring many people are going to
be surprised at the exhibition. The
wonder will be that such an event
has not been planned before. There
Is every reason to believe that the
show will be such a success hat 1t
will become an annual feature in
the activities OF the city.
