j Joseph Kramer of Perth Amboy
will be contested by two members Of
his family. The will calls for the d.
vision Of the greater portion of the

Kramer. There are also requests to
the Perth Amboy City hospital and
the Jewish Memorial building fund.
After directing the division Of the es-

Put to Good Use.

One day my husband invited a for.
mer school chum of his for dinner,
writes correspondent. He arrived
about four o'clock. but my husband
had not yet come home. Our little
son Philip was playing around with
our guest, who gave him a quarter.
When 1t came time to prepare din
ner I discovered that l did not have
enough potatoes and the only money
l had was ten dollar bill. Fearing
to send the little fellow to the store
with 1t, l called him out and told him
to go and get the potatoes with his
quarter and when daddy came home I
would give it back to him. Seated
later at the dinner table the man
playfully pinched Philips cheek, and
asked him what he did with his quar-
ter. to which Philip responded, "Oh,
mother took it to buy potatoes"
