My Lady Friends was secured especially for the Indus trial Week attraction and it took not only considerable money but consider able persuasion to pry it loose from the play brokers for a production in Phoenix at the same time that it was running in Los Angeles.

The Frolic

Arrangements are going forward in great shape for the Apple Dance to be conducted next Monday evening at the Frolic. E. s. Mayfield who is in charge of the affair is getting O. gether the decorations which will greet the merrymakers on the occa- sion of this special event Monday Those who attended the Halloween festivities at the F'rolic will instantly realize how thoroughly Mayfield un- derstands the art of decorating-and his skill will again transform the Frolic into an atmosphere wherein William Tells pet dance will receive recognition. And this brings up the question of the apple dance-what it is and what it consists of-what it is for-and all about it.
 William Tell was the originator or the affair-so he claimS-and some wise chap thought to steal BilPs thunder by turning loose an Apple Dance on the public last season. The affair even reached Phoenix-and an apple dance was conducted-but the only thing that it brought from Bill Tells quarters was a bunch of scorn In retaliation Bill issued the correct instructions for the conduct Of the famous dance-revised them ana brought them right down to l9zl- and this is the guiding element Tn MayfieId's preparations for the affair at the Frolic next Monday evening.
 It is to be a prize event-and here some more surprises will await those who will be on hand to join the fun' The nature of the dance is fun-fun for the dancers-fun for the contest ants, and fun for the onlooKers.

GREAT DAY FOR PERTH AMBoY

Perth Amboy did herself proud yesterday. Those in
charge of the arrangements for the Armistice Day celebra-
ton are to be congratulated upon the success of the occa-
sion. 1t is the universal opinion that it was one of the finest
parades ever held in this city.
The zeal and enthusiasm with which the different or
CARNATIONS and the school children entered into the spirit
spiration. 1t was a demonstration worthy of the cause it was
intended to commemorate.
Perth Amboy did her full patriotic duty during the war.
For the purpose of reaching a draft quota for this city
the population here was jumped by the federal authorities
10 over $4,000. This meant that Perth Amboy was practi-
caly drained of all her young men in order to meet the
requirements. This city made up a complete draft district
in itself and while it was realized here that Perth Amboy
was called upon to furnish more men, in proportion to ac-
tual population than almost any other place, the city never
faltered and when the roll was called for each contingent the
Perth Amboy quota was on the spot.
And then came the Liberty loan drives and the cam
paigns for the Red Gross and the community service. Here
again Perth Amboy had the odds against her for her quotas
were far above the proportion of the actual wealth of the
community. Nevertheless, not once did the city fail to go
lover the top" as the saying was, on every occasion.
And it was the same spirit of achievement-doing
things in the real Perth Amboy way-that prevailed yester-
day when the third anniversary Of the signing of the armis-
lice was observed. This time the boys were with us and all
long to be remembered. Everyone connected with the cele-
bration, including those who participated in the demonstra-
ton. have reason to feel proud. 1t was a great occasion call
ing for a great celebration and Perth Amboy proved equal
to it.

A NEW CALENDAR DISCUSSED BY HASKIN

ent system. George Washington was
born under the old Julian calendar,
which placed his birth day eleven
days earlier than it now stands.
The Gregorian calendar has grad
ually replaced the Julian in mos
civilized countries. Old Russia new
er made the change, but Soviet Rus
STA has. China and Japan use the
prevailing system.
If the change to the liberty calen-
dar were made in 1922 or 1928, or
following any year ending on Sat
urday or Sunday, it would be easy
enough to slip from M system to
the other, and begin the new year
on Monday. If the change were
made after a year ending on Sat
urday New Years Day could be OBJ
served as Sunday to complete the
week.
1t is now too late to establish the
new calendar by the first of next
year. But Representative Schall
thinks that the matter should be
discussed and other countries con-
suited and action taken now, so that
the civilized world would be ready
for the change at the next conven
lent time, 1928.
.If the people would stop to think
about it," says Mr.. Schall, and II
they would write to the chairman OF
the judiciary committee express
ing their wishes and interest, we
would soon have a calendar that
compares with the steam tractor and
mot with the plow."

Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

Great Britain. Holland. and the
United States.
Mr.. Schall thinks that II congress
set the example in passing the liber-
ty calendar bill and fixing 1928 as
the year to start the new system,
other countries would fall in line
promptly.
The only other calendar which re-
ceived serious consideration of late is
a Swiss invention. This provides
twelve months OF thirty-one days
each. As we understand this calen-
dar, the months would not be alike,
as in the liberty calendar. That is,
the 18th of January would not fall
on the same day of the week as the
18th of February or March. Every
year, however, the 18th of January
would fall on the same week day.
From this, it can easily be seen
that the Swiss calendar is not so
simple as the American plan, and 1t
does not do away with the necessity
for consulting a guide in calculating
dates.
Representative Schall. who is

pie calendar would be very useful to
him because he would no longer
have to bother his secretary TO look

thing 1 an always asking her TO DO

r A OF A BLACK DOG

There was a man whose name was
Schneider. And he came forth from
Germany, and dwelt upon a farm.
And he had a great big vicious black
dog. And the custom of the dog
was to run out into the road and
bark ~furiously at everything that
passed by.
And he frightened horses, so that
they sometimes became unmanage-
able. And he frightened women, so
that the wives of farmers drove to
town by other roads. And he fright
ened children who went by to school.
Now, I dwelt not in that place, but
l sojourned there for three years.
And / heard many folk complain and
say that the thing had become I'M
endurable.
And l went away unto college, and
was gone three years. And 1 re-
turned and spent a week of my va
cation in that place. And each even
ing l borrowed a horse and a buggy,
and went for a drive. And each
evening / drove with some one else,
for / had divers friends in hat place.
And one night as we drove we
went by the farm of Schneider, and
his dog rushed forth at us. And the
horse was frightened.
And 1 spake in my wrath unto the
damsel that a beside me, saying.
Hath this infamous dog been per-
mitted to live yet these added three
years?
And she said. Yea. and he groweth
worse as he groweth older.
And the next evening I started
forth as soon as the u went down,
and drove past the farm of Schneid-
er. And there lay something beside
me on the seat of the buggy. And
as yet l was alone.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-11-12

And I came to the farm of Schnei-
der in the twilight, but it was light
enough for my purposes.
And the dog rushed out at the
head of mine horse, and leaped up
as If he would bite mine horses
head. And when the horse went
faster. then did the dog run beside
the buggy, and he leaped up as ii
were between the wheels. And his
great red mouth was open.
And I held the reins in my left
hand. And I pointed my right hand
and that which I held therein
straight down the open throat of the
dog.
And I shot once, for once was
plenty.
And mine horse was frightened
and going some. and l permitted
him to go.
Now on the next day, and certain
days thereafter, Schneider was GO
ing to and fro and inquiring every
where who had killed his dog. But
he never suspected me. for my date
that night lay In another direction,
and 1 kept my date. And within a
day or two / vas gone. But / heard
much rejoicing over the death OF
Schneider's dog. and much wonder
as to who had done it.
And even to this day it is not
known who killed Schneider's dog.
Now I have thought often of that
incident in my youth. For l have

pie tolerate day after day until the
days grow into years. when they

STA stood on the eve of the Russo

England, under these circum-
stances, has become a vital factor, IL
not the vital factor. and her attitude

Japan's Ally
When Russia and Japan stood
glazing at each other in 1904, En-
gland had Just become Japan's ally.
Without England's moral and finan-
cial support, Japan would not have
dared tackle the great Slav-bear. But
having England's support, Japan
struck. For Russia stood in her
road to Manchuria.
Today-whether rightly or wrong
ly makes little difference-Japan
considers the United States in her
way. China blocked her ambitions in
Korea and she licked China. Russia
opposed her in Nanchuria and she
licked Russia. Only America re-
mains and she would like to brush
America aside as she did Russia and
China.

the dentists chair IS beckoning and
will get you sooner or later. 1t is
always better in every way that 1t
get you sooner foc the longer n
visit is postponed, the worse it will
be.
It's much less painful to prevent
"gumboils" and later toothache by
taking care of the teeth and having
them "overhauled' twice a year just
as you would have your automobile
overhauled every so often.
The prevention of decay is pain
lessly and simply brought about. 1t
Is only when neglect allows decay
TO penetrate the inner pulp that
toothache drives most people to the
dental chair. When decay has gone
so far as to produce toothache, 1t
is usually necessary to kill" the
nerve" and fill it.
This is not nearly so painless and
simple as preventing decay II
toothache merely by a little fore
sight.
Cause Much Trouble
When the gums become so infect
ed with germs which are always
present in the mouth and whenever
the teeth are disturbed SO that the
inner pulp is exposed. few can en-
dure the pain without wincing. Such
a state of affairs may give rise to
symptoms quite remote from the
seat of the trouble.
There may be joint Inflammation,
known as rheumatism. There may
be headaches. poor eyes, neuralgia,
enlarged glands of the neck or even
earaches and sore throats.
