Orders of the Day

The SPEAKER: The Chair takes
this occasion to suggest to the members
OF the House that upon the assembly
Of Legislature bi-ennially rumors be-
come current. and rumors which at
other periods of the twenty-four months
of the life of the Legislature would not
assume any more credence that ordi-
nary newspaper propaganda, are taken
by our constituents to be of great i'm
portance. Now, entirely inadvertently.
the. press this morning suggests that
it will cost 81, ~, 71s.S3 TO run the Legis-
lature of Maine for the year 1921. Say
ing nothing about the language Of the
statement, or that there is any attempt
to run the Legislature of 1921, the
Speaker objects to such information
being spread abroad about the State in
the form OF INSTRUMENTATION. The bill
is before you. It provides for the cost
of the Eightieth Legislature, for the
payment of all salaries fixed by law,
for clerk hire, for the general depart
mental expenses of the State govern
ment and for the ordinary current ex-
penses, or maintenance, of the State
institutions from the first day OF jan
uary, 1921 10 the Goth day OF June fol-
lowing.
The Speaker evidenced his concep-
ton of the duty of the Legislature in
a brief statement al the opening Of this
body. Nothing perhaps is more Insist
entity demanded by our constituents. as
1 hear them, than economy and thrift.
inadvertently, this suggestion that the
Legislature OF 1891 is going to cost the
State about ten times what its most
expensive predecessor has cost has gone
| abroad. few days prior thereto a
statement was given wide publication
| through the press that it might be that
! this Legislature would be responsible
| for the expenditure OF thirty millions
of the States money. necessitating an
| incredibly high State tax. I assume
| that it is the duty of each of US to
allay any alarm that may be created
| by such propaganda.
! If this is not fitting and Appropriate
| as coming from the lips of the Speaker
| of the present House; if ii does not
| agree with your sense of the proprieties
OF the occasion, the members of tho
/ House may forget the suggestion.
! take pleasure at this time in max
| ing an announcement which l deem OF
! Importance. The Bar Association OF the
State of Maine has its annual meeting
in Augusta today. Papers OF great his
/ torical interest will be delivered in this
room at the afternoon session at %
today, and ! feel honored by the in
vitation presented to me from the pro
| per officials of the Maine State Bar
Association, which l have noSy the
| privilege of extending to each of you
! to be in attendance if YOU 50 desire.

ANOTHER LECTURE
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

The Young Peoples Society of st.
Stephens Danish Lutheran church
have been most fortunate in the OPP
portunities they have been afforded
to hear excellent lectures by noted
Danish speakers during the past
years. There has been an interesting
series of lectures besides various
other ones at intervals in the sea-
son.
The next speaker to appear in the
basement of the church in Broad
street will be G. l.. Ladefged, instruc-
tor in gymnastics at Grand View
college in Des Moines. who will lee
ture on the night of Wednesday,
April 20. Although his subject Is
not yet known it will no doubt i'm
clude some interesting facts concern
ing the college and his work therein.
A small admission will be charged,
not for the purpose of making any
money. but to v the expenses of
the evening. The committee as
usual will serve refreshments and
all members and their friends are
urged to remember the date and ar
range to attend.
In the series of lectures arrange
ments are being completed for the
appearance Of Miss 'Dagmar Pot
holm. of Hartford. Connecticut. Miss
Potholm, who appeared here last
year, and delighted all who heard
her. is not really a lecturer, but an
entertainer, excelling in readings and
recitations. The date and place of
her appearance will be announced
later and tickets will be out with
in a few weeks.

GAS COMPLAINT.
At ROOSEVELT
Borough to Take Up Low
Pressure Protest With UtiI-
ity Commission.

ROOSEVELT. April 1.-The citi-
zens of this borough are considering
the filing of a petition with the Pub
lie Utility Commission concerning
the low gas pressure furnished this
borough by the Perth Amboy Gas
Light Company. Although condi-
tons during the week are not what
they should be on Sundays from 10
o'clock in the morning until 1880
o'clock in the afternoon there is no
gas whatever, making 1t impossible
for one depending on gas to cook
dinner.
For the past two or three weeks
the gas has been giving out on Sun
days. and in view Of the fact that
the price has advanced the people
of the borough feel that they should
be given some service. The council
has taken the matter up with the gas
company. but so far has been able
to get no satisfaction. II is estimat-
ed that there are 5000 or more
people In the borough who depend
on gas for cooking and several Sun.
day dinners have been spoiled by the
gas giving out when they were about
hale prepared.
From the lack of action taken by
the gas company on complaints
which have been made. 1t would
seem as If the company did not care
what occurred to its users in this
borough. On Sundays 1t Is a COM
mon occurrence for many persons
to call the police and inform them of
the fact that there is no gas. As
conditions get 10 better. the citizens
themselves have decided to appeal
to the Public Utility Commission for
relief.

IN THE SOCIAL WORLD
W0MAN'S CLUB TO
AID STATE COLLEGE

The woman's Clubs throughout
the state of New Jersey have
pledged themselves to help in a
financial way the State College for
! Women in New Brunswick before
the opening of the fall term. Some
are giving the money individually.
| others are raising it through some
benefit entertainment or musical.
The local Woman's Club will give
a card party for this purpose Satur-
day afternoon, April 20. In the as
sembly hall of the Raritan Yacht
| Club in Water street. Mrs. w. w.
Oliver, chairman of the college COM
mittee of the club, with her assist
ants, has already started prepare
tons for the event and tickets are
on sale with various members of the
club. Mrs. Norman Davis is chair
man of the tables, Mrs. John Sofield
of the tallys and cards. Mrs. A. b.
Mcdowell of refreshments, Mrs. X.
r. Hoskings of tickets, Mrs. Virgil
Shull of arrangements. and Mrs.
Ralph Seaman OF the prizes. Bridge
and five hundred will be the games
of the afternoon, at the conclusion
Of which the committee will serve
refreshments. The prizes are to be
exceptionally pretty and the COM
ulllLct Will lIlCcL dt tlc uoIltt VI tlt
chairman this coming Monday after
moor to complete the necessary de-
tails.
Someone remarked that "a dollar
seems a mighty large price to pay
to attend a card party" put If the
people who are approached to pur-
chase tickets would remember just
what a college for women mean to
the future of the State of New Jer-
sey, one dollar would seem a small
enough contribution. Few people If
asked outright for an individual con-
tribution would pledge themselves
for less than one dollar and If they
considered the enjoyable party anti
cipated with refreshments and
prizes, they would rate the price as
only too small.
In the olden times it was the GUS
tom to plan only the boys future, to
save and put away money for the
boys college life. Now the women
are to have their chance for a coll
lege education and the women of
Perth Amboy are herewith given the
opportunity to provide for their
daughters and their daughters
daughters future life. The college
In New Brunswick is the only wom-
ans college in the State of New
Jersey and its position in Middlesex
county is an added responsibility to
the women of Perth Amboy.
