appointments were the lot OF the adventur-
Gus knight-errant on his arrival, he never
lost his faith, but was always willing to
try, try again.
Surely, in all the world with its millions
and millions of women. there must be one
engaging girl with the personality. beauty
and charm worthy OF the chivalry and
high romantic ideals he had. nourished in
his breast.
And so 1t is great pity that the one
girl chosen by the modern knightin-armor
for his Queen OF Love and Beauty after
forty years of untiring search, should in
corporate charges in her divorce suit that
tend to show an utter lack of knighthood
in the character of Mr.. Crane; and that
Mr.. Crane, on his own part, should be cap
able Of saying the horrid things he has
since said about his young and beautiful
bride.
Especially is this so after he had gone
so many thousands OF miles to win her, and
waited so long, and courted her with such
adherence to the highest ideals of gallan.
try For at about the time Mr.. Crane met
Senorita Elida Piza, his latest wife, he
had about reached the conclusion that real
Romance was like the horizon, always just
as inaccessible and far away as 1t had
been before he started his quest, and re-
ceding farther with every footstep.
Brooding over the prospect one day in
a Chicago club he happened to mention to
circle of his sympathizers that, so far
as women were concerned, the world was
rapidly going to the wolves.
At these sad words another world trav.
eller who was present trained back his
ears and seized the opportunity to chal-
lenge Mr.. Cranes observation.

Crane, i've been everywhere and I've

WORK ON STORM SEWER IN
SAYREVILLE COMPLETED

SAYREVILLE, Jan. 29:-Work
on the storm sewer from Hensler's
Lane to Sandfield road is about COM
pleted. All hat remains to be done
is the installing of a few more
catch-basins.
The work was done by Contractor
Joseph Stephano, of South River,
under the supervision of Engineer
Frederick f. Simons, of Roosevelt,
who acting as borough engineer
drew the plans and specifications.
1t is interesting to note that when
the Washington road from South
River to South Amboy was paved a
number of people requested the
freeholders to place a storm sewer
at this point on account of a number
of springs just below Albert's Hill.
in the vicinity of Hensler's Lane.
This advice was not needed and the
springs in the road we're covered up,
resulting in what Mayor QUAD
termed "a sewer on top of the
ground"
For two winters the people resid-
ing along this section of the road
had their cellars full of water, and
this part of the road was a sheet Of
ice all winter long.
Last winter there vas so much
ice that 1t was almost impossible
for the street cars to run. The Pub
lie Service threatened to discontinue
service unless the borough supplied
men to clear the tracks of ice. claim
ing this was part of the borough's
work. Finally the freeholders agreed
to pay twenty-five per cent. Of the
cost of construction and the work
was commenced.
At the last borough council meet
ing the council decided to continue
the storm sewer from Hensler's Lane
to the next cross street. Also to ex-
tend same up to Hensler's Lane
about II hundred feet, thereby
draining all of the springs in this
section. This work will be begun
Immediately.

Two Big Features at Ditmas

Two Big Features at Ditmas
Difficulties not encountered in the
production of the average motion
picture are present in "Milestones,"
the Goldwyn picture which comes to
the Ditmas theatre for Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. Those who
have seen the play on the stage
know that "Milestones" covers "A
period Of three generations, from
1860 to the present time. The fact
that the scenes are laid in England,
requiring typically English settings,
further complicated the problem of
filming the play.
One OF the initial difficulties to be
overcome was that of casting the
production, as it was necessary to
find players who could depict not
only youth and middle age, but old
age as well. Another problem was
to find an English type of home of
the 1860 period, practically new,
with appropriate furniture and sur
roundings, andto carry that same
home through a 1fty-year period,
showing the changes which time
would bring about in the house, and
in its surroundings.
However, though this picture tax
ed the ingenuity of the producers,

screen as it is on the stage.
The other feature is Scratch My

gagged Il play the part of Val Rom
ney, the man who always did what

prohibition:
"A man rushed into a wet goods
place in Mexicali recently after a
quick trip across the Mexican bor-
der from California n made for
the bar. He pulled out a sheet of
paper and a pencil and wrote: Give
me a drink of whiskey.' He got 1t
and swallowed it. He wrote again:
Give me another drink of whiskey.'
The second drink followed the first.
He produced another sheet of paper
and wrote again: How much do I
owe you The bartender took the
pencil and wrote under the question:
That's all right. We don't take
money from deaf and dumb folks
The man made a desperate effort TO
speak and finally managed to say:

American and my throat was so dry
