EDWARD w. BARNES

1t is with extreme regret that Perth AmooS
learns of the death of Edward w. Barnes at
his home in Brooklyn Wednesday night. MT.
Barnes was a former mayor of this city. lie
was always active in civic affairs during his long
residence here and did much for the advance
ment of Perth Amboy. 1t was q decided loss
to the city when he and his family moved
away.
1t is the loss of just such men as Mr.. Barnes
that the city has felt most keenly. A man OF
great intelligence, high principles and unusual
ability. always ready and willing to do his part
in whatever there was to be accomplished, ne
was a valued citizen. When such men go away
it is rarely that their places are filled.
Perth Amboy, today, with so much to be
done, such important problems to be solved, ana
with so few men who measure up to the re-
sponsibiIities, can more than ever apprec1te
what Mr.. Barnes has meant to the city in the
past. While we have not enjoyed the advantages
of his services for the last few years. he was a
man who was bound to make his personality felt
he might be, rendering valuable SER
vice toward making his community a better ana
happier place in which to live.
The sympathy Of Perth Amboy is extended TO
the family of its former mayor in this sad hour.

the result depends on the voltage,
for without it no current would flow

mer trade mark originate p. G.. r.
A. This trade mark was adopted
about sev~enty-five years g by the

pirate emblem to choose, as Vulcan
was the god Of smithy.
@. What is a sea-wrack ?-F. p.
A.. Sea-wrack is any marine veg
etable cas up on The shore, such
as eel grass or. grass-wrack.
@. How can printers ink be
bleached out of paper without harm
J ing the paper?-R. A.
A. 1t is impossible to remove
printing ink from paper without
spelling it.
@. Where do cubeb berries grow
and what are they good for?-R.
NJ. B.
A. The cubeb is the small aro-
matte berry of Piper Cubeba, a
climbing shrub, native of Java and
Rorneo, but now cultivated in va
rious tropical countries. The dried
fruit is much used In medicine as a
stimulant, e~xpectorant and diruetic.
The inhalation of smoke from burn
ing cubebs has a palliative effect in
some affections of the respiratory
passages.
O. Have copies Of the Declara-
ton of Independence always borne
the signatures of the signers2-M.
E. b.
A. The first printed copies Of the
Declaration of Independence which
were sent out contained only the
rames of the President of the Con-
gress and the Secretary. The
parchment with the original sigma
lures was deposited with the Depart
ment of State. In 1928, John
Quincy Adams had a copper plate
fac-simile made to give copies to
the signers or their heirs.
@. Is there such a stone as a
black diamond? If so, what is its
value ?-T. S.
A. The Geological Survey says
that there are black diamonds, but
they are not so valuable as white
ones. They vary in color from steel
gray to black, their value depending
upon size, quality, shape, etc.
@. When did the custom of sleep
ing on wedding cake o~riginate?-
r. M. S.
A. The exact origin of the custom
Of sleeping on a piece of wedding
cake is obscure. 1t has been traced
back to the early Britons and is
found not only in England but in al
most all European countries.

RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
PRETENDING

oh, let's pretend we're joyous,
and chortle and seem gay though
things annoy us and bore us day by
day: for men with sullen faces are
lemons, everywhere: they fill our
dwelling places with grief and
gloom and are. How often in the
morning we rise from restful maps,
with balmy smiles adjoining our
chaste and clipper maps. The old
world seems a daisy, we chirp a
cheerful note. and all our woes
seem hazy and dreamlike and re-
mote. We're glad we are existing,
1--we gambol and we sing, while wot-
ting still and visiting that life's a
gladstone thing. And then the
crouch approaches, fresh risen from
the hay; no thought of glee he
breaches, no topic blithe and gay.
He doesn't sing or scamper, or
raise a joyful sound. and he's a
dismal damper or everyone around.
He suffers from the willies, he huns
no cheer-up tunes: he overlooks the
lilies to talk OF musty prunes. His
fantods are contagious, Il gladness
dies away: we think the world out
rageous and strike for higher pay
And thus m grouchy duffer a
make our joy take wing, and make
us sigh and suffer, where we should
smile and sing.

@. Does our government stand
the expense of returning our soldier
dead from France? What does it
cost to have one body brought
home?-S. N. D.
A. The Cemeterial Branch of the
Quartermaster Corps says that the
United States government does bear
the expense of bringing home the
bodies of American soldiers. 1t has
been estimated that the cost of
bringing home each one is $500.
This amount is a total of all ex-
penses involved in a single case.
@. Can papers pinned together be
sent through the mail?-R. G.. H.
A. 1t is against a regulation of the
Postoffice Department to send mate
rial fastened together with pins
through the mail, since their sharp
ened points are a n to the
clerks handling them.
@. In the electrocution of a hui
man body, which does the killing,
the voltage or the amperage?-J.
w.
A. In the electrocution of a hui
man body the destructive effects are
