fBy Evening News Star c-orrespondent-l
NEW BRUNSWICK, April ia
difference of opinion exists as to how
Mikaly Csanit. the man found DEAD
along the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks at Deans, Monday night. met
his death. The railroad officials
claim he was not struck by a train
and report that track walkers have
frequently told of being bothered by
tramps and buns and it Is possible
they attacked and killed him. The
man is about thirty years old and ap-
parently a Hungarian with no fam.
lily. He boarded in Deans ana
worked nights. He had a full dinner
pail with him when found,the pa1k
lying on one side of the tracks and
his body on the other.
County Detective Ferd A. David
viewed the mans body at Coroner
Harding's yesterday and said he was
OF the opinion that a projection from
a slow moving freight train had
struck .Csanit and killed him. 1t is
also possible hat Csanit a getting
a ride and fell off, striking his head
on the culvert at this point.

VAL AND 'bUb'
WITH Y CIRCUS
Two Popular Clowns Again
Secured for Annual Per-
formance May 81 Here.

An announcement was made TO-DAY
by the Barnone & Bailem circus
directors that when their show APP
pears at the local Y. NJ. c.. A. for
three performances on May 6 and z
they will have with them two clowns
who have made a name for them
selves as fun-makers on former &C.
casions with this much-talked OIL
show. On the last appearance OF
the Barnone & Bailem shows at inc
local "Y" these two animated
eradicators of the blues" were not
among those performers VINO
amused, thrilled and entertained
Their absence was noticeable and
the cause of many remarks of re-
greet.
Realizing the necessity of having
them included among the perform
ers under the big top" this year
the circus promoters have been as
sured of the presence of these two
clowns who equal any ever seen In
This city or vicinity. 1t is needless
to introduce them to the large fol-
lowing which Barnone &c Bailem's
shows have in Perth Amboy but for
the benefit of those who have not
been fortunate enough to be present
at any past performances, their
names are announced in this article.
VAL and "Bub" they are known
as in the sawdust ring but in private
life they are Valentine Afflerbach
and Lothard Jensen. These two in
the pas have showed themselves
capable of putting on sidesplittlnS
comedy acts, the product of hard
work and originality on the part of
the two. Both performers have the
knack of knowing when to stop, OF
not OVERRIDING their comedy and
leaving their audience in a state OF
expectation, anxious for them to ap-
pear again in some other role and
wondering what sort of antics the
comedians will next go through.
Owing to the large number OF
acts which must be exhibited during
the time the show is in progress,
only a few minutes will be devoted
to each act under present plans. but
an allowance is being made especial
ly for these two in order that they
may exhibit their full repertoire of
gA,om dispellers.
Tickets have been printed and are
ne 2 for sale, many of the association
members having them to dispose OF.
There will be a night performance
Friday, May 6, and a matinee and
night performance the following
day.
THIS officials in charge of the cir
Gus this year are: Manager, A.
Clayton Clark; director, Schuyler G.
Pew; tickets, Charles Nj. MacWil-
liam. Charles X. Seaman, Jr., Wal
ter II. War;, S. c. Pew; advertising.

I S "A nation, we have been
IN accused of being care
less spenders. Perhaps

~ accused OF Delpg care
less spenders. Perhaps
we are at-times. We have not
been taught, by hard necessity,
the full meaning of thrift.
Yet the fact remains that we
are the most skilled shoppers in
the world. We waste less time
at shopping, and do our buying
with more intelligence than
any other people. We know
how to make a dollar do its full
duty when we set our mind
to it.
This is not to pride ourselves
on a superior trading instinct.
European peoples could teach
lis much on this score. But our
shopping methods are superior.
1t is a significant fact that
Americans read more and bet
ter advertising than do the
people Of any other nation.
And advertising has formulat-
ed our buying habits.
1t has given u a short cut to
intelligent buying.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-04-13

ONE ninety per cent of all
~ the buying for homes, in
this country, is done by
women. The American woman
is a voracious reader of adver-
Using. And in all the realm OF
civilized people there are none
who can compare with her for
a broad knowledge of merchan-
disc. On almost every commod-
ity one could mention, from
cake fours to curtains for her
living room, she has ideas -
ideas that aid her skill in buy
ing.
She knows prices-she stud
les them diligently in the de
partment store and other adj
vertisements.
Better still, she knows val
ues. 1t is difficult to fool her
in these days on the quality
one has a right to expect in a
bottle Of catsup. She knows
what makes for durability in a
rug. She has good taste with
respect to furniture and per-
sonal attire.
Advertising has helped her II
all this. 1t has taken her be-
hind the scenes = shown her
how merchandise is made, and
set for her q standard of value.
1t is not to be wondered at.
therefore, that advertising has
come to be more and more a
shopping guide. 1t is our best
protection against goods OF I'M
certain quality-our best assist
ance in seeing to it that we get
our moneys worth.
