During the past week 1t is said
that men connected with Prosecutor
Strickers office have been quietly in
vestigating the charges and cS>nter
charges that were made at the time
the Childs-Phillips recount was on,
in an effort to get evidence to lay
before the grand jury
Immediate action was looked for
in the matter after the recount. but
as a review of the election was in-s
timated after the first of the year
and as that has not BEEN made. 1t
is thought that the prosecutor is con-
Quoting an investigation in an en-
deavor to learn whether or not any
illegal acts were participated in.
Gross irregularities at the polls in
Roosevelt were charged during the
recount. they being based on the all
legged fact that the ballot boxes were
not properly sealed, that ballots were
not numbered and strung as required
under the election laws and 1t was
further charged that some of the
election officers officiated in polls
other than those to which they had
been appointed by the county bo4AfI
of elections.
Tampering with the ba13q Zl VI
was also spoken of at ftf.scekk3. I'||
the basis of the review of the Ga
ton was asked for on the groifldi
that certain ballots gave indications
Of having been changed after being
voted
With all the charges and counter
charges that were made being looked
into by the prosecutor the politicians
are very much concerned as to just
what the grand jury will do.
While it seems to be an assured
fact that the chief law enforcing Of
ficer of the county intends to get u
the bottom of the affair, it is not
known whether or not any of the
election officials have been summons
ed to appear before the grand jury
today.

LOW BIDS FOR
METUCHEN JOB
Estimates for Concrete Paw
ing Received by Board of
FreehoIders
DEMAREST is LOWEST
Cost of Job Will be Much
Lower Than Was Thought
at First

NEW BRUNSWICK. March TO-
unemployment of laboring men was
reflected in the endeaVorS made by
eleven contractors yesterday to Sc
cure the award of the north Main
street, Metuchen, paving JOB as
means of getting the workmen ana
equipment back into shape after
months of idleness.
The bids submitted to the free
holders for this work caused no end
of comment among the large delega-
ton present as the prices submitted
were regarded as being extremely
low.
Not only did local contractors
make an effort to land the job, but
tenders were made by contractors
from several adjoining counties. The
concensus of opinion was that per-
manent road construction should be
carried on to the limit this year in
view of the tremendous decrease in
the amount of the bids. which were
about one-third lower than had been
anticipated.
Demarest Lowest Bidder
M. irving Demarest of Sewaren,
submitted the lowest figure and was
awarded the contract on his bid OF
$21.562.93.
This figure will cover the entire
cost for the construction OF one ha1
mile of reinforced concrete street,
built to uniform depth of eight
inches and with a width of thirty
feet, including concrete curbs ana
cutters on both sides. The county
will not bear the entire expense as
the borough of Metuchen will pay
for the cost of curbs, cutters and a
portion of the pavement.
A strip nine feet wide at the
centre of the road Will be cared TOR
under a separate contract for which
the Public Service trolley is partly
responsible under the terms of their
franchise.
With the award now safely made
the borough authorities VIII be able
to proceed with the necessary ordi-
nances in connection with the work,

having been carried as far as possi-

Fairies are the faith of child, that
is caught
In the heart of an exquisite flower;
They're the shadows that lurk in a
darkening pool,
And the dreams of enchanted
power"
Upon the top of hill there was
once built a city so beautiful that
men and women came from all over
the world to visit 1t, and when they
had seen It, they declared that no
where in all the kingdom could one
be found SO fair. It's streets were
wide and smooth. and great trees
reached across them to clasp each
others hands.
Lovely women and brave, strong
men lived in the city, and happy chill
drens voices were heard at play. but
one day the good king, who ruled
the country, died, and his son whom
no man trusted, came to rule in his
place.
Now. in the new kings court we're
two wicked fairies who could change
themselves into men and their names
were Ignorance and Improper Food.
One day Ignorance came to the king
and said: ooh, king, pray thee, have
all the subjects close their windows
and doors at night, for the fairy,
Fresh Air is abroad and viii surely
do them HARM
Now the king believed what Ignor-
ance said. so he sent his couriers
Swift Feet and Ready Tongue, and
bade the people close their windows
and door against Fresh Air When
Improper Food saw that the king had
listened to Ignorance, he went to see
his friend Persuasion and he begged
this friend to give him of his power
of tongue so that he, too, might have
weight with the king
Improper Food had two cousins,
Caffeine and Tannin. who had magic
powers. They could take the heart
of a little child and make it beat SO

"NoT GOOD ENOUGH"

Snobbishness is a relentless de-
stroyer Of happiness. In marriage 1t
works its worst.
Lovers, left alone, are troubled
little by it, but when the world Is too
much with them, when what other
people think" bothers them greatly,
then lovers worries begin.
One girl puts the problem thus:
My relatives look down on the
man I'm to marry. He is considered
not good enough for me. His char
acter is finer than that of my own
brother, but the latter is well edu-
Gated while the man / love is not.
"Will the criticisms of family and
a big difference in our social planes
spoil my marriage"
Not necessarily; not II love is re-
garded as a rainbow arch uniting
two lives. In illustration. consider
this story, a true one, although it
reads like a scenario:
"A girl just graduated from a
fashionable school, was sent west
for a summer. She belonged to an
old and rich family. but neither
her aristocracy nor her training for
the social world kept her from fall
ing in love with a regular cowboy.
"The man had less than a gram
mar school education, no manners
10 speak of, and no art in tying a
cravat.
