INITIAL AFFAIR OF
LEGION Is SUCCESS

The Perth Amboy Post as, Ameri-
can Legion, launched the first event
of it's social career in the high school
auditorium last night when an In
formal, but attractive dance was en-
joyed by moro than $50 couples. inc
DICTIONARIES, as the result of this sue
cess are optimistic about their future
and feel deeply grateful to the COM
munity for it's hearty response.
One of the most attractive features
a perhaps, the elaborate decora-
tions, which, IN the opinion OF many
transformed the auditorium into the
most beautiful ball room 1t a ever
been made. A large Victory flag greet
ed the guests in the main corridor
and a glimpse through the double
doors opening into the auditorium lent
evidence hat the Legion was con-
Quoting a thoroughly American ar
fair. Flags of all nations were hung
from wires, while numerous large
American fiages were in evidence
everywhere. a canopy of red. white
and blue bunting covered the entire
auditorium and bunting was draped
attractively ON all the walls. john
stones orchestra of eight pieces sur
passed itself last night. Grouped in
the center of the floor, the orchestra
was half hidden by a mass of palms
and ferns donated for the occasion
by friends of the Legion, and adding
much to the attractiveness Of the
room.
AS the guests entered they were
ushered to the cloak rooms and pres
ented with the souvenir programs
which contained about forty pages.
The program, the cover of which
was blue and gold and surmounted
by the American Legion insignia con-
tanned many things of interest to the
guests. On the inside cover, was the
Honor Roll, a list of the Perth Amboy
men who died or were killed in the
war. Many of the p-atronesses whose
anne were all printed in the pro-
gram, were present and greatly pleas
ed to sponsor the Legion's first dance
here.
The greetings, on one of the fore
pages welcomed the guests and were
followed first with a history of the
American Legion and then with a
short synopsis of tho local post As.
The national, state. and local officers
were also listed for the benefit OF
the community.
Mrs. Iva Larson did full Justice TO
her reputation with the delicious
punch and cakes which she served
throughout the night.
The ~Legionaires are all grateful TO
Mrs. Walter Blocker. by whose eff
forts. the auditorium was so taste
fully decorated. and much credit is
also due to Nathaniel w. Pierce.
chairman. and his dance committee.
The members of the Legion thorough
ly appreciate the help of those who
offered their services, their plants.
flags and other decorations, as we'll
as the patronesses and the advertisers
in the program.
1t Is hoped that his successful af-
fair ds the forerunner of an endless
line of Legion activities in this city,
which will always receive the hearty
support demonstrated last night.

An impressionable little frocls, this.
When first conceived by a French de-
signer it was made OF silk. chiffon
and lingerie, but arriving from Paris
about the time of the overalls econ
omy parades, It was seized with a de-
sire to cooperate, and had itself
copied in pale blue Bingham and in
expensive eyelet embroidery.
The smaller the check in the ging-
ham the better it will harmonize with
the a~ll-over embroidery, which is
quite "patterny" itself. Tho frock
buttons in back with a long row of
crochet ball buttons, which are also
used to trim the sleeves.
For a more colorful frock those
lovely English prints offer a wealth
of suggestion, in colors which range
from sky blues t wild excuses in
yellow and orange. Yet there is q
auaintness about this material which
somehow subdues the colors which In
other fabrics would be considered
hagrantly vivid.

I. The number of hours in the
work day or week in which the
maximum output, consistent with
the health and we'll being of the in
dividual, can be maintained in

ed by careful study and never
should be exceeded except in case of
emergency, and one day of rest
should be provided. Reduction in
working hours below such economic

commensurate loss in the earning
power of the workers. a limitation
of output and an increase in the cost
of the product.
t :. Adequate means satisfactory
both to the employer and his en-
ployees, and voluntarily agreed to by
them, should be provided for dis

o. When, the employer and his
employees do not deal individually,
but by mutual consent through re-
representatives., representatives should
not be chosen or controlled by or re-
present any outside group or interest.
10. The greatest measure of re-

of their service must be sought in the
successful conduct and full develop
