HAMMoNTON, N. j., Aug. 15.---Mid-
night oil was burned tonight in the
office Of "The South Jersey Star" the
motto Of which is "Independent but
Not Neutral" Editor Thomas Ban
croft Delker was wrestling manfully
with the last of batch of 2,1oo severe
cases of intended matrimony which
will be placed before Cupids Court to-
morrow.
Meanwhile Lew Conley, the eminent
cigar deater, who was once the Babe
Ruth of southern New Jersey, was
walking around in circles wondering
what it was all about. Editor Delker
is strictly business on this PROPOSE
ton, but Lew Conley lacks the edi-
tors confidence. 1t was just started
as joke, Lew Conley explains in
pathetic tones as each arriving train
unloads its quota OF aspiring husbands.
would-be wives, inquisitive newspaper
reporters and daredevil photographers.
The cigar merchant can't quite grasp
what is happening, but he is begin
ming to entertain the frightful sus-
picion that he and Editor Delker have
started something which it is going to
take lot of earnest effort to finish
without loss of life.
Editors Courage Inspiring
But Editor Delker is hard man to
beat. He admits it himself, and he
is tackling the job before him with a
serene confidence which would have
done credit to any Christian martyr
who ever strolled casually into an
arena of ancient Rome. Editor Delker
went out after supper tonight and got
himself shaved. This is the first time
in history that Editor Delker has been
shaved on Tuesday evening and the
incident illustrates splendidly the in
editor is facing the morrow's tre-
mendous issues.
Editor Delker, the Hammonton folks
say, was never one to take much stock
in what people said about him, and in
this instance, as in many others, he
is running true to form. Editor Dell
ker strolied over to the postoffice this
evening after. he had been shaved, pro-
jecting an alluring aroma Of lilac
water around him as he strolled, and
brought back hundred odd letters
from anxious applicants for introduce
tions to suitable companions of the op-
posite sex object matrimony.
Nothing at ALL" remarked Editor
Delker as he deposited these late ar
rivals on table in his office, already
heaped to overfowing with similar
billets doux. "You should see the

Traffic on IL Shows
Decrease This Year,
But Deficit Is Cut
/. R. L. Division Lost $685.
497 Less Than 1T Did i'm
1921; Subway Gains and
Has Profit of $26,4l2

Although the elevated lines of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
this year have carried 2,140,908 fewer
passengers than for the corresponding
period in 1921 the deficit is not so
great, according to q statement made
public last night by the Transit Com
mission.
The commission gave out abstracts
of report of operations of the elevated
and subway divisions of the INTERIOR
ough, the New York Consolidated Rail-
road, under it's receivers, and the Third
Avenue Railway Company.
The report shows the I, R. T. ele-
waited division lost s53 3,497.o5 less this
current year than it did last year. the
1922 deficit so far being S3s7,129.so. as
against loss of $440,62695 in the pre-
ceding year. The number of cash fares
for 1921 totaled 30,489,135, as against
28,348,227 for 1922.
On the subway division there was
9. net corporate gain of 500, ,609.e9 for
the current year, showing profit of
26,412.69. The deficit this time last
year was $27,197 The subway car
ried 1,347907 more passengers this
year, the total number being 51,878, ,1O9.
The New York Consolidated Railroad
reports an increase in the net cor
porate income of S84,15470 this year
over last year. The figures show
gain this year of S12,521.63 as against
a deficit of s71 ,633.07 last year. There
were 1,650,195 more cash passengers
this year than last, 38,115,323 having
paid their fares in 1922 and 36,465,130
in 1921.
The Third Avenue Railway shows an

Colors as Applied to Present Day

The manipulating OF color in in
terror decorations makes a fascinat-
ing game. We cannot all be artists
but We can appreciate art, and how
doubly important it is that our eye
be trained to appreciate art in the
home.
So closely are color combinations
related to music that one with an
appreciation of music should be 'as
revolted at discordant color COM
bination as at one of music.
We would not tolerate the sounds
from boiler factory disturbing the
tranquility of our bedroom, and yet
we will live day in and day out with
color harmonies that, were our eyes
as sensitive to color harmonies as
our ears to music. would revolt VS.
as much as the unpleasant noise.
1t is because for long the art OF in
terror decoration was known to so
few that our eyes nave become deao-
ened to the reactions from QlscOfuaHI

may bave been responsible for it.
The one thing that seems sure is that
the proletarians themselves had
nothing to do with it. Aristocracy
is the prime mover in the affair. And
that's strange. Every time the pro-
gressive and handsome Rumanian
queen leaves Paris there is an influx
Of peasant costumery. She inspires
1t. She wears the peasant costume
to interest designers in the colorful
embroidery. The titled Russians do
the same thing. Between the two
forces the fashion is assured.
We have had much offered US in
the name of peasant fashions and we
will have much more. The idea is
begetting a thousand followers. 1t
sounds well. 1t gives one chance
to put splashing embroidery on
clothes. One walking in 5th avenue
by looking in the shop windows can
has on the American clothes. Most
of these garments are like toys to
us. but we are likely to wear them.
OF course, the milliners could not
let the idea slip by them. The new
pieces of headgear are evidences of
the sympathy the idea has founi
among those who make hats. sThe
ia shion, If it can ever be said to have
completely left it: the bangles by the
ears of beaten silver which Lanvin
made popular last summer have been
revived by those who fancy them
selves in such gewgaws, and now
caps, as it is called, which really
means that it is to be worn in the
house with any kind of colorful cos
tune. 1t is OF cream lace trimmed
with sprays of pink rosebuds. and is

bonnet, of a Russian maiden. So pop
ular has it become since Willard of
Paris invented it that it is copied in
black or silver lace and tied under
the chin with ancient blue velvet
strings Maybe they are of picot
or of silver.
Several kinds of peasant bonnets
have made their appearance since the
fashion was fully started. Not all of
them are as trying as this, and many
spring brides. Negliges are built to
match them.
