o OWN THEM

Remember those war savings stamps and certificates that
you bought in 1918? Better hunt them up. They re "due"
Jan. ], principal and interest. And Uncle Sam is ready to pay
them off, or trade them for new certificates at 4 per cent in
terest compounded twice a year, whichever you want.
Treasury officials estimate that no less than 100000
Americans own these war obligations. Are you one of them?
If so, when you leash in you'll realize that the safest in
Of sp%endthrifts and stock market suckers are wishing they had
invested in war savings stamps and certificates.
A million doesn't look as big as it used to. Most of us
talk of a million as If it were a dozen eggs. Nevertheless,
you'll admit that $65O,0OO000 is considerable of a figure.
That's the total value Of the war savings stamps and GER
tificates maturing Jan. 1, 1928. If everyone insists on cash
payment, Uncle Sam will have to turn a few financial hand
springs. His loose cash in the national treasury will be rather
low at the end of the year.
So he hopes that most Of the holders-half, at least-wiIl
tors will. It's as good as money in the bank-some ways.
better.
If you want to cash your war savings stamps and certifi-
Gates in full, you can deposit them with the ~postoffice any
day now for collection, or turn them in to your bank on or
after Jan. l.
If you have, say, $25 of maturing war savings certificates,
you can exchange them for a new $25 treasury certificate ma
turing Jan. 1, 1928, and get 1850 cash to boot. And so on, In
large quantities.
The new certificates will be issued in denominations of
$25, 800 and $1,000 each. No individual can get more than
$4,000 worth of these certificates. They're tax-exempt, by
the way.
Inthis deal, which involves $685., 100000, Uncle Sam is do
ing business with the people. You, the owner Of certificates,
are one of his bankers.
He says to tell you that he'd prefer extending the loan.
But he can hand over the cash if you feel you need it more
than he does. u s., you know, means "us."

DO IT NOW!

These are busy times, we know, and the automobile driver has
"a great many things to think about, but he ought to take time
enough right now to get out that automobile license for next year.
1T ought not to be necessary to warn the owners of automobiles
that there 1922 licenses will not be good after December 81, and
that date is only twenty-three days off.
When it is realized that there were approximately 1900 auto
mobile licenses issued through the local office of the Perth Amboy
Garage Company this year and that, so far, only a little over $50
have taken out their 1923 license, some idea can be had of the rush
sthere is going to be during the last few days unless a lot of owners
get busy quick.
To avoid standing in line for hours waiting for an opportun-
iv to get a new license the only thing to do is to get the new auto
mobile license at once. Besides, it is only fair to the agency that
the licenses be taken out early so that the work involved can be
spread out over several weeks instead of having it pile up on the
last day or two.
It'll going to take a little longer this year to get a license, too,
because. for one thing, the name and address has to be printed on
THE card instead Of being written, SO as to make it more legible.
These things add to the confusion and require time.
The wise autoist, then, will get his 1923 license early and avoid
the rush. The new plates have been available since the first Of
Desember. With a whole month to attend to this matter in, it
seems a pity that the great majority will wait until the last call to
attend to it.
Do it now,

NAMING PULLMAN CARS
DESCRIBED BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-For
| more than half a century the fav-
! critic guessing game of the travel
ing public has been to speculate as
to who names the Pullman cars
and why. To see romantic names,
| Lancelot and Adonjs, and names
such as Farragut and Hector, sug-
costing heroic deeds. emblazoned on
| the side of Pullman cars long ago
aroused train passengers to curiosity
and then to speculation.
The public enjoyed guessing n
imagination ran riot. Passengers
| have solemnly averred that the
| Pullman Company employs an Off
cial manner of cars" with the Chief
duty of seeing that each new car is
| httingly and artistically named
| Others have insisted that employees
\ of the are encouraged tC
Suggest names, and that a dollar Is
| given for an acceptable suggestion.
One extravagant explanation was
that the company long ago made a
large collection of slips bearing
names of states, cities, famous folk
flowers, etc, and that these slips are
kept in a large box and one is cere-
m~oniously drawn forth by the presl-
dent of the company when 1t be-
comes necessary to christen a new
car.
The reasons given to explain why
the cars are named instead OF
proasically numbered nave run from
the suggestion that passengers un-
doubtedly have "A more personal
feeling toward a a with a name,
to the story that the little daugh-
ter of a high official once insisted on
calling a certain a Violet.
The majority of the stories are
offshoots of the most popular ex-
PLANTATION. This was that the
daughter of the founder of the Pull
| man Company, now Mrs. Frank D.
Lowden. began to name the cars
when she was a girl and received a
| reward for each idea. The sum she
was supposed to receive was gem
orally limited only by the magma
ton of the teller of the tale. Some
who stuck to probability, said that
she received a dollar a car. others
said 500, and the most fanciful
narrators whispered hat $4,000 a
yaer was the sum she drew for her
services.
Now the Pullman Company has
denied this interesting story and all
of its variations in its magazine for
employees of the company. 1t says
FLORENCE Pullman had such
a job or did n systematic car
naming"
1t seems that the custom of nam
ing the cars arose naturally soon
after the Pullman's invention was
introduced. The first Pullman
sIeepers were remodeled day
