SAYS METUCHEN COUNCIL
OPPOSES MORE POLICEMEN

-gy STAFF Correspondent.
METUCHEN, Dec. e2.-Althougn
there is some agitation for addition
al police officers in the borough,
Mayor Washington Wilson has said,
that the council is opposed to the
appointment OF additional officers
during the crime wave that Is
sweeping the country. as such ap-
pointments would come under the
tenure of Office act and would nee
eSarily saddle an additional fnan-
cial burden on the taxpayers OF the
town.
To provide additional protection
the non-patrolling marshals of the
borough are to be pressed into SER
vice to assist the present force OF
three men in preserving the peace of
the community. During the war
period a great many marshals were
sworn in, to assist in putting down
any disorder that might arise. but
since the signing of the armistice
the body of marshals has disinte-
grated until there are only about
FIVE now available.
Three officers will patrol the
streets starting tonight, the extra
man being drawn from the ranks of
the marshals. and ii is expected that
under this arrangement the borough
will receive the required protection.
One officer will continue on duty
during the day as has been the GUS
tom in the past.

their chance-the most important
chance which has como to women
in the history of the race? AS l see
it, the silly ores are hiEdering the
competent ones. The conscientious
women workers cannot hold up the
slackers. It's impossible"
Exactly so. Narte. The foolish
virgins-theyve been killing the
goose that laid the golden egg"
Daddy said. and l giggled and had
cough. "In our place at least,
Daddy continued, at isn't the cloth
es and the paint they wear that's
made me SO sick of having some of
'em around, but it's their indiffer-
ence to what they're hired to do!
Besides wasting their own time, they
waste the boys time! It seems to
be the idea of some of 'em that
they're hired to amuse rather than
to assist the men. 1 wonder what
makes 'em act so! Maybe you can
tell me, Marte!"
Daddy was much in earnest and
realized that he had made a criti-
cism worth adiscussing.
"As 1 see it, there's just one thing
that makes woman ruin the chances
man has opened up for her in busi-
ness" said Martha. IT'S big in
elusive reason and I do not know
whether she can help 1t or not"
well, what is this one big thing?"
Her own nature! Everywhere,
at home, In society, down town, each
woman must become the most i'm

"Whew-ew-ew!" whistled Daddy.

Human nature it is, but can tell
you that the man doesn't know half
the time what's happening, or why
the girl makes such a claim, or how
she does it, either"
It's a state of feeling, perhaps,
like electricity in the atmosphere"

sugar a tablespoonful at time
when ready for dessert fill the pis
crust with ice cream, plain vanilla
or chocolate. The crust should be
deep enough to sold about an inch
layer of cream and leave half an
inch for the meringue. Spread the
meringue evenly over the ice cream
covering it tightly. Put in a very
hot oven or under the broiler for
or minutes to brown the top.
Serve at once. This dessert reminds
one of baked Alaska, but is so SIM
pie that any hostess might prepare
1t. The maringue can be made be-
fore the meal Is served anG the shell
baked early in the morning. To fill
the crust with the cream and cover
with the eggs is but a minutes
work. So many fancy dishes are so

Is also cook can't serve them.

This message from Santa Claus
Land is for the little folks, and par
they read ont loud.
SANTA CLAUS LAND, North
Pole, Dec. 22-Oh, just wish Santa
Claus wasn't going to make a trip
down all the chimneys of Perth AM
boy this year. / have had such a
lot of fun today playing with all the
hundreds of queer toys and things,
that / hate to see them taken away
from me.
But Santa says he's going to load
them all in his airplane the night
before Christmas and take them on
the long trip through the clouds. So
I guess I'll tell you what's coming
for the little boys and girls to play
with.
Some lucky little child is going to
get a fire engine that runs all by it
self. You just wind It up and away
1t goes. It's got two ladders on 1t
and some little pals to carry water
In. And it's painted bright red. just
like the big. real fire engines.
Bear Scares Me
While I was playing with this toy
q little tin man came walking by
me, pushing a cart that had some
little milk cans in it, He nodded
his head as he walked.
Upon a table there was a fuzzy lit
tie bear with a long tail that had a
rubber ball on the end of it,. Santa
sneaked up and squeezed this ball
and the bear jumped up at me. BUT
he didn't bite me. He was just
playing.
Then I was pretty hearty run over
by train that came speeding along
over some tracks that were spread
all over the floor. 1t had a coal car
and two freight cars on behind it.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-12-22

I The next time it came by there were
two passenger cars hooked on. This
time / caught it and pulled a little
lever and it stopped. Then l pulled
the lever again and away 1t went.
But the track came apart and the
whole train went over on the floor
in heap.
Santa handed me tail thing, just
like a wind mill tower. 1t had
long string on it and a hook on the
end. / put the hook into the engine
of the train and turned handle. The
whole train came up into the air
and went swinging back onto the
track.
Plenty to Play With
l played for hours with milk wag-
ons. automobile trucks, little electric
autos. walldng dogs, jumping mon
keys and meowing cats.
And you can just bet I had a won
derful time. That's why l don't
want Santa to take all these lovely
things down the chimneys in Perth
Amboy.
But I'm glad all you children are
going to have the same fun I've had.

STEALING FARM PRODUCE.
Brattleb0rO Farmer Says 1t Occurs
Hereabouts as Well as Elewhere.

Editor of The Reformer -
| notice an editorial in The Reformer
speaks Of the stealing of property of
farmers in Baltimore and / want to tell
you that Baltimore is not the only place
where people think the farm produce is
grown for the benefit of anyone who
wants to pick it.
People have taken eight or 10 bushels
of butternutS from the trees that grow
on my farm and they were not all taken
from the trees by the roadside either,
as some trees that were in the woods
entirely out of sight of the road were
stripped of the nuts.
Nuts are not the only produce that
has been stolen for when | cut my field
corn l found good many ears of that
had been picked by someone who surely
didn't own the land or plant the corn.
The other day when l came home
from the street / found an auto truck
run onto the grass at the lower end of
my meadow and in it were baskets of
Christmas ferns but no people in sight.
| was in a hurry SO didn't find out
whether they were being picked ON my
land or my neighbors but l certainly
had not given any one leave to pick
them ON my land.
1t seems to me it is time the public
was taught the fact that taking things
from a farmers land without leave is
plain stealing. just az much as if they
took the money from his pocketbook.
| am not the only one who has had
produce taken as some of my neighbors
have also had things harvested by those
who did not own the property.
| suppose some viii say a farmer who
won't let a fellow have few nuts is
stingy but / was brought up to think
that if a thing was worth having it was
at least worth asking for. If people
can't ask for the things they want and
run the risk of being charged a small
sum for the same they had better learn
to go without the same as we farmers
have to do when we can't afford the
things we sometimes want. ..

One of the big, outstanding figures in
the 300-mile endurance test for horses

Monday morning, is Albert w Harris,
the millionaire Chicago banker. Mr..
Harris won the competition last year and
is out to repeat. Because his own horse
went lame while in training last fall, Mr..
Harms rode one of the Arabians owned
by w. r. Brown of Berlin, n. H., and
thereby hangs a tale.
Mr.. Harris had entered his own horse,

he came on and asked that he be given
an opportunity to ride. Mr. Brown Of

Rustem Bey and Halcyon. He rode all
three that day and again on Monday He
picked Ramla against the advice of a
number of noted horsemen. She was the
smallest Of the three, but his Judgment
was indicated when he rode her into
Camp Devens that Saturday night, with
a record that none of the others could
approach. +s.-. s5s
Mr.. Harris is one of the best horsemen
in the United States As a boy he rode
on the range in the West. A few years
ago he was in bad condition physically
because of close confinement at the Har-
ris Trust & Savings bank of Chicago, and
his physician advised him to go to Cali
fornia. There he did not improve and
he bought three horses and a covered
wagon and droye back to Chicago in
about 30 DAYS, arriving at his farm IN
perfect health and with his horses fat
and fit. IEe has aEarm outside of Chicago,
