Z MORE ESSAYS
ON CLEANUP
High School Freshmen Re.
ceive Honorable Mention in
Essay Writing Conest

Printed herewith are tie two es-
says on Cleanup Week which re-
ceived honorable mention in the
| contest conducted by the Metropoi-
.tan Life Insurance Company here
last week. The first essay was writ
ten by Frank Dorsey, of High
street, and the other by c. +. Ora
ham-Rogere, of T~ottenville. Both
are freshmen in the local high
school:
Why Perth Amboy should have
Clean-Up Week.
There are two reasons why Perth
Amboy should have Cleanup
Week"
The frs. is for her prosperity to-
day. Perth Amboy is a large man
utacturing city and the men who
work in her factories must do their
work we'll in order that the goods
which are put on the market can be
cold.
Every one knows that a workman
who has a poor environment In his
home and among his friends will
be unable to do AZ good work as
a a who has a good environment.
The factories must prosper to pay
the men who live in the city. There
fore the people should make the
atmosphere around them as clean
as possible so they may be enabled
to do good work.
The second reason is for prosper
ity on the morrow. We know that
the children and students of today
will be the men of tomorrow. There
fore, careful consideration should
be given to the surroundings and
happenings of the younger genera
ton.
Why Perth Amboy should have a
Cleanup Week.
Every house has its spring clean
ing. so should every city.
Cleanup Week does many things.
1t helps make the city beautiful.
healthful, reduces fire risks and
builds up morals.
An ugly spot may look beautiful IL
1t is clean and a beautiful spot ugly
IL dirty. Clean up Perth Amboy
and it will be beautiful.
Filth and dirt are breeding places
of disease germs. A dirty cellar
may breed enough germs to infect
the whole town. Clean UP Perth
Amboy and lessen disease!
A bunch of greasy rags put away
in a closet may cause a disastrous
fire. Clean up Perth Amboy and
lessen fire risks!
People living in the dirt of the
poorer sections do not see the
beauty in life, and therefore do not
care whether they make their living
honestly or not. Clean up Perth
Amboy and note the decrease In
crime.
Cleanliness is next to Goodness.
Therefore. clean up Perth Amboy.

The beauty of a mature woman
lies not merely in her features, but
in the character her face registers,
and this quality is what evades the
artist when he tries to capture it
with oil or crayon.
But Whistler was able to do it. he
painted not only a portrait of his
W mother but one of the universal
ideal of motherhood as well, one
we all feel.

Special Corset Attachment fer
Large Fleshy Women, Gives
Neat Trim Figure, Holds
Rupture Securely


Mrs. G. c. Reid, representing
VIM. S. Rice, Inc, Adams, N. Y,
has a special corset attachment
that holds any rupture no mat
ter how large. Even if the alb
domen is very fleshy, it holds
any rupture, with ease, comfort
and security. Hundreds Of WON
en- in Perth Amboy and vicinity
are in need of just such a sup
port as Mrs. Reid, is able to sup
ply. Experience has shown that
many women are unable to wear
a corset because Of large Navel
Ruptures or those following op-
erations. The special surgical
corset and rupture support COM
bined is designed to care for all
such conditions.
Doubtless every woman who has
been compelled to wear an ordinary
truss or abdominal support knows
the gouging, cutting and chatting
caused by narrow bands. The weight
OF the abdomen must be carried by
the band around the back and the
pressure is sometimes very great,
causing untold suffering. The spe-
cial broad supporting corset attach
ment does away with all cutting,
chatting and binding. 1t is light, iex-
fble, durable. cool and fits the figure
like a glove. 1t gives you a sense
of absolute security and protection.
Mrs. Reid will be at the Madison
Hotel. Perth Amboy. N. j.. May is,

velous Support free to all women.
She wants to fit it on you and prove
to you that it is a great blessing to
all rupture afflicted women. No
matter what you have tried now is
your opportunity TO find out just
what you require. and get the benefit
of free personal application, by "A
competent lady expert.
Why be burdened with rupture
and suffer the continual annoyance
of wearing trusses if you don't have
to? Why not use the Rice Method
and prove to your entire satisfaction
what results are possible In your
case? Thousands have been able To
throw away their trusses afte. a
brief application of the Rice Method
and there are thousands who are still
suffering the tortues of rupture be-
cause they know net where to turn
for relief. Mrs Reid is in Perth

Vitagraph Unusual Gypsy

almost A medieval figure. Of her performance one cannot speak too highly. To say that she lived her part is only to speak the truth. AS the picture goes Ivor Novello, who Is the hero of the picture, falls in love with Miss Mazza who protrays the part of the Gypsy heroine who is roaming around the country with her old Gypsy grandma ther. After several months of association his love for her grows so strong that he asks her to become his wife, which she. having grown to love him, acceded. Then she later tells him that she cannot marry him, not because she doesn't mother has a reason. What is it so strong in her grandmother's mind that should demand such devotion? What happens when her grand mother tells her that she shall mar " the chief of the Gypsies? Can you imagine their feelings at being thus literality torn apart7 What do you know about their love affair? How do they live7 Where did the eld grandmother and her granddaughter go when they left the ruins of tho old abbey?
 Gypsy life In all of its splendor and rigid customs Is yividly DOT trayed in the spectacular production. To miss this picture Is to miss one of the greatest ever made. Also and added attraction. Christie comedy Rambling Romeo"

in youthful heads. A committee, ap- pointed to investigate his ( y text books, has pondered the pater for eight months and at last a report. And there are scads of things which the committee don't approve at all No, siree.
 For instance, one text book says: Nathan Hale was a Yale graduate" " To you and me, simple souls that we are, this looks like a plain and commendable statement. An, but simple souls like us have no place on an Investigating committee. This statement" the committee reports with frown, falls short of any educational value" You begin to sec don't you. with what stuff our children's minds are poisoned? Then. again, the committee doesn't see any reason why the Jay treaty should be illustrated with picture of Mrs. Jay.
 Does any lady or gentleman have the slightest recollection about q thing called a Jay treaty? Ourself, we can't recall Mrs. Jay, either. but If she isn't any stronger on pulchri- tude than most of the forefathers. her features would be better deleted, no mistake about that. Fate evil dently had her mind on something other than good looks when she de- eided to stir up a revolutionary war in America.
 Words of Allen
 Mother thing. Some histories ac- tualiy do not mention what Ethan Allen said with drawn sword at 4 a m.. demanding the surrender of Fort Ticonderoga. The committee says. he said Tn the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress" And of course. if it's his- tory you're writing and not fact, <. it's all very well to let 1t go at that But it's 8 safe bet. Ethan used shorter and uglier words, at least If he felt as we feel when some one gets us up at a. m.
 Well, to speak of serious matters, 1000 business women who find themselves frequently all dressed up with no place in particular to go. have banded-and bonded-together to build History club house.

Technically the picture Is brimming over with human interest and emotion. For as we know there is no race in the world that are as pas sionate and as emotional as the 'nomads of the road" If you studied Gypsies as hobby 1t would take you yeads to learn their secrets.
 There Is another thing which is unusual, not single studio set was used although the lighting effects are second to none. The stttings that Vitagraph has used in the picture possess a quality of solid realism that is very rare in built up" scenes. Such scenes as the won- derful church festival that Gypsies have each year could obviously be obtained no other way. This in It. self is a rare treat. In most pictures you will find that where rare sceney and locations were used there has been tendancy to have Q week cast or poor plot, This. however, is not true in Gypsy Passion" The story has very pretty romance that has many unlooked-for twists, that will delight and suprise you, the chief interest of which lies in it's charact- erization and its local color.
 Miss Rejane gives striking and convincing performance as the proud old Gypsy grandmother whose super stitious devotion to "her books" coupled with that savage ignorance of the laws of property, render her
