WOMEN'S DAY At Y. M. C. A.
GAINS IN POPULARITY

Wednesdays the day for women
and girls at the local Y. NJ. c. A.,
are constantly growing more popu-
lar. Each week different groups of
women and girls are joining this or
g~anization and becoming enthusiast
tic members to take part In the var
led activities connected with 1t and
already that influence, which always
comes as a result of the work of this
organization, is being typified in the
women and girls who have been
members since that first joyful We'd
nesday. registration day. when near
ly 200 flocked to the Y to become
members. Now there are over 500
active and enthusiastic members
who attend the classes regularly
and take a deep interest in all that
goes on within the institution.
The "Y" with its swimming pool.
gymnasium, bowling alleys and all
the other advantages enjoyed by the
members. has a surprisingly influ-
ence over the women and girls, not
only from the physical standpoint.
although this influence is all import
ant and is being developed most eff
~ficiently by the directors sc that al
ready a marked improvement Is
shown, nevertheless the outstanding
influence at the "Y' is the deep in
fluence it has on character. When at
the "Y" everybody knows everybody
else and there that fellowship and
geniality. so much desired by every
one at all times is developed to a
marked degree. Girls and women af-
ter a day spent in taking part in the
activities in this institution under
this miraculous influence are better
fitted to meet the problems con-
fronting each of them in all the
walks of life and to go about their
duties, whatever they may be, in the
right way.
If one day a week at a "Y. NJ. C.
A." will do 81 much for 500 girls
what a wonderful amount of work
might be accomplished with 1000 or
perhaps 1000 women and girls. with
the privilege of seven days a week

Governor Fort was born at Penn
berton, n. j., March 90, 1852. Not
long after his admission to the bar
he was appointed in 1878 a Judge
of the district court of Newark, re-
naming on that bench for eight
years. From 1896 to 1900 he pre-
sided over the court of common
pleas OF Essex county and during the
succeeding seven years served as a
justice of the supreme court of the
state.
During his entire career he played
an active part in the Republican
politics of New Jersey, and attend
ed many National conventions as a
delegate; in 1896 presenting the
name of Carrot A. Hobart for vice
president. In 1912 he was a dele
gate to the Progressive Convention.
Twice he acted as a special envoy
of the United States to the Domini-
al republic in August, 1914, and to
Haiti in March, 1915. Although
party regularity aided his election to
the governorship in the fall of 1907,
a year and a half later, he an
nounced his complete independence
of boss rule and his adoption of the
new idea in politics. During his
term of Office he gained praise for
his firmness on excise questions and
previously when supreme court JUS
tice, he had fought vigorously the
rich gamblers at Long Branch.
The near relatives surviving are
