COLD WEATHER CAUSES
THIS CITY TO SILVER

Perth Amboy and surrounding
country awoke this morning to find
the mercury had zone dow con-
siderable during the night after the
icy blast that blew in from the
north during the entire day yester-
day. Today is said to be the coolest
thus far this winter, the mercury
having descended in the tube to 10
above the lei mark.
All along shore a heavy coating of
ice was seen. with a thin coating of
ice spread over part of Raritan bay.
All small creeks were frozen over
this morning for the first time this
winter. When early risers made
their way out to work this morning
they found that ear mufs and the
like were o comfortable than
what they had been used to during
the past several weeks of winter
when the thermometer has barely
gone down below the freezing point.
The weather bureau expects the
cold wave to last several days,
though it may be slightly warmer
tomorrow. 1t predicts the temper
allure will stay around 10, and that
from now on the country will have
some real winter. With the heavy
gale that accompanied the blast yes
terday there was an unusual low
tide during the day.
While most of the smaller ponds
have been frozen over there is no
skating at the water works pond
is the announcement made by May
or Wilson, who has received many
inquiries concerning skating at that
place this morning. Just as soon
as the ice is thick enough at that
place notice will be given to that ef
feet.

WOMEN VIEW
HOME Of NEEDY
Found Windows Broken and
Doors Warped not Protect
ing Inmates From Cold.

BY special Correspondent.
WOODBRIDGE. Jan. 1S-Wher
the women, newly elected as com
m~issioners of the free school lands
made their plans last Saturday TO
visit the poor farm" on Monday
morning they did not take the
weather into consideration. The fact
that 1t proved to be the coolest
morning of the winter did not inter-
fere in any way. however. with their
tour of inspection. An EVENING
NEWS representative accompanied
them.
The poor farm is situated in the
section CT the township between Ise-
lin and Fords. near the former, and
the approach yesterday was made
from the Iselin road.
Upon opening the door of what is
the living-room of the four aged
men for whom the town is. privileged
to provide shelter. the commission
ers were filed with CONSERVATION.
Four men, one almost helpless
from rheumatism. were seated be-
fore the colonial fireplace, in which
-four logs were burning, not poetical-
~ blazing. The men Immediately
arose from their nondescript chairs
and doffed their caps. greeting the
women almost reverently. Under
the door the sun shone through an
opening nearly three inches wide
and the wind found entrance
through the same aperture. A large
stove stood, pipeless, in the center
of the room, unused for some reason
of the conditions.
OF the second floor. where the
sleeping quarters are found. much
might be said.
The NEWS representative was re-
minded very forcibly of State Phys
ical Director Maroney's remark.
There is no bad night air but last
nights air."
A few brolsen panes of glass re-
lleved the situation in some of the
rooms TO a certain degree of what
might have been last years air. and
that remark does not apply to De-
cember or November of last year,
either.
The beds were d%eplorable. and the
allotment of 'comfortables' a mis-
homer.
The men we're loyal-never a
word of complaint-nad spoke SO
cheerfully of their delightful Christ
mas dinner. Their eyes fairly
danced at the recollection of the
turkey and all its ''ixings."
One of the women took a large
bag OF oranges and apples to the
men. Tobacco was also taken.
The more active man of the in
mates helps the steward of the
farm, who by the way has seven
children under IL years of age.
When he received his fruit he
took half of it in to the little chill
dren. showing that sharing his joy
with others gave him more pleasure.
Is this not a lesson TO the more for
of the township, to share
of their warmth and comfort
with these aged men? The first
step in this direction Is 10 provide |
the necessary comforts In the way
of warm army blankets and shut
Ting u the elements. II is under
stood that the commissioners. al
thrifty housewives. have several sug-
Eestions to make.
At the meeting OF the township
last week the Woman's
club was asked to meet with the
in an effort to remedy condi-
ions. II is needless to say that a
second request need not be made,
IS they will gladly act.

FIRE DOES LITTLE DAMAGE
At RARITlN COPPER WORKS

A fire starting from unknown
origin in a ~tunnelway between the
Power House and Tank House No.
( O'Clock yesterday afternoon, caus-
ed damages not exceeding $1,000
according to an estimate made by
A.. C. Clark. manager of the plant.
The fire was between the metal
sheathing and woodwork in this
tunnel, and aided by a heavy draft
gave the plant fire department con-
siderable work.

in getting into the tank house, but
did o cause much material dam
age. The fire hampered the tele-
phone service in the plant.
