Woman Assistant
Probation Officer

Miss Catherine Mccarthy, county
school attendance officer the past three
years, is now combining her duties in
that Office with that of assistant pro-
baton officer. having recently been
appointed by Judge Lawrence as an
assistant to Probation Officer John HI
Houghton of Long Branch Miss Nc
Carthy had proved an efficient official
and thru her efforts many children in
nll parts of the county are being
given an opportunity to secure an ed
ucation. While not unnecessarily
harrassing delinquent parents, Miss
Mccarthy has not hesitated, after
warning parents who fail to keep their
children in school regularly, to bring
such parents into court and prosecute
ing the complaint against them.
The work Of the county probation
officer has grown to such proportions
that it was practically impossible for
one person to give the work the atten-
tion required and Mr.. Houghton asked
for an assistant. 1t was only after he
found himself unable to give each
case referred to him the time and at
tention he felt warranted that he con-
sented to the appointment Of an as
sistant and he then recommended the
appointment of Miss Mccarthy. One
Of the first duties to be assumed by
Mrs. Mccarthy is to hold sittings to
meet probationers at Red Bank and
Keyport. She will meet probationers
at boro hall, Keyport, Friday nights
between and o'clock and Boro hall.
Red Bank. Mondays, between 2 and 8
o'clock Mr.. Houghton will continue
his sittings at Asbury Park and Long
Branch as in the past. Miss MCCARTHY y
received salary OF 81 200 per year as
attendance officer and 81, 200 per year
as assistant probation officer. Thru
an inadvertance her salary as attend
ance officer was the only one of like
agents whose salaries were not in
creased by the legislature last win
tier.

MEMS FACES CHANGE
New Type Being Developed, Says
English Painter.
Experts Differ az 70 Whether This
Means EngIishmen are Hand
somer or ucller.

London.-Since Prof. Arthur Keith
OF the Royal College Of Surgeons an
nounced that the faces Of men are
changing a heated controversy has
arisen as to whether the change is for
better or worse.
Sir William Orpen, the famous por-
trait painter. says Englishmen are
growing handsomer every day. "A
firmer type, stronger jaw Is develop
ing" he declared. Men are approx
mating mora to what is known "a the
strong silent type.
II believe you can make yourself
like anything you wish within limits.
One Of these limits is that you become
like the people You live with. either
In actual life or in the life Of the
mind. That is why the Englishman
Is becoming like his strong silent
ideal.
~ have also found that husbands
grow like their wives and wives grow
like their husbands very frequently"
On the other hand. Professor Pat
rick Geddes Of University college.
Dundee. the geological authority, says
emphatically that men are not grow
ing better looking. Presumably he
thinks they are becoming uglier.
Professor Keith. whose annual re-
port to the museum Of the Royal Col
lege Of Surgeons, started the contro-
versy, Is not saying whether the male
face is on the upgrade or down. All
he admits is that from the evidence
he has accumulated he is convinced
that definite changes. particularly In
the face and jaws. have been taking
place In large proportion Of the
British people during the last century
or two.
In an effort to dec the issue
several experts In the g vaphy and
topography Of the human ap" have
made exhaustive tours Of he Ma
tional Portrait Gallery. which contains
some thousands Of paintings Of Ens-
lish historical personages for the last
400 years. But the investigation failed
to convince the experts that there
had been any change great enough ts
Improve or spoil English male beauty.

Primary Elections
Campbell and SsxsmIth
Assembly Nominees.

In the primary elections in the county
Tuesday indications were that the con-
test for the Republican nominations.
the only contest in either party, had
been won by Edward A Sexsrnith OF
Wall township and Jacob G. Camp
bell of Allenhurst. Complete returns
from the larger voting districts OF the
county gave Sexsmith vote OF 1905
Campbell 2,671, Bruno 1,792 and Bar
clay / 1893. Itwas generally believed
that the complete returns would in
dicate comparatively the same ratio OF
votes. Basil Bruno of Long Branch
secured majority Of 1888 votes in that
city over Sexsmith but failed to over
come the votes which Campbell had
piled up in Asbury, Neptune town
ship and other shore districts.
Bryant B. Newcomb and Elmer T..
Polhemus were unopposed for the Re-
publican nomination as members OF
the board Of freeholders while no con
tests marked the nominations for either
the assembly or freeholders berths on
the Democratic ballot.
The vote in Freehold resulted
as follows:
Freehold Boro -Sexsmith 145, Bar
clay 8S, Bruno So, Campbell 50.
Freehold twp. Sexsmith 81, Bar
clay 27, Bruno s, Campbell 10.
