IF YOU ARE WELL BRED

Dinner invitations should be an
swered Immediately. Only a very
good reason such as sickness or an
accident, can excuse a persons
breaking a dinner engagement after
ace. ting it.
To accept one invitation and then
refuse that one in order to take
advantage of another which arrived
later and seems to promise greater
amusement, is extremely rude.

reports, but one commodity has gone
sky high within the last few months
false hair
And the most overworked class
today are those employed in the
transformation and switch business.
All because the bobbed girls sim

grow out.
"They r resorting to all sorts
of articles, even to wigs. to give
the appearance of a luxuriant crop
of hair" says A. Simonson. the New
York hairdresser. 1.-THE rush for
made-to-order couture is amazing.
ITO make a transformation of the
average length, at least IL peasant

decided to seize on the i-nspirational
connection between her name and
these d%electable tea table dainties
and start a Crumperie.

set up her Lares and Penatss and

It's a r~efreshingly quaint little
spot, this ~Crumperie. furnished in
real old colonial furniture with
braided rugs on the floor and bits
of patchwork quilts for curtains at
the windows. A bright fire crack

clever fingers and a bit of crayon.

the practice of weighing infants In
the suburban resort neal here in
summer, and he has recommended
that it be continued during the hot
months this year.
DIR. Work can adequately per-
ceive the benefits of the movement
because of his profession. according
to Postmaster i. A. Purdy OF this
city, under whose orders the weigh
ing began. Begun last summer in
the -Minnetonka parcel
post service, its success has been
manifest.
Thousands of Minneapolis families
move to the Lake Minnetonka dis
trict, where they abide in cottages,
distant from the business districts
and clinics.
Young mothers, anxious TO know
the status of their babies as TO
weight, which aids in judging
their health, had no adequate
weighing devices available. When
one fretful mother asked the driver
of a parcel post truck to weigh her
baby. which was reported to Post
master Purdy, the latter ordered the
weighing of the infants declaring II
one of the "humanizing" efforts OF
the postal administration.
Drivers of the trucks now are
mastering the art of handling the
infants and promulgating rules OF
dress to enable the weighing of the
tots on the hook" scales attached
to the truck.

PROBLEM
FOR MATAWAN
Question of Extension oil
Broad st. Now Before the
Borough Council

MATAWAN, April Among the
important matters now confronting
the Borough Council is the extension
of Broad street. From indications at
this time. this street, which has be-
come one Of the principal streets of
the borough, will be extended south
ward in the ear future. At the
council meeting last week the coun-
.cilmen held a long discussion on the
matter. after which IL was decided
to at once have maps prepared on
the extension. after which an ord
nance will be drawn by Borough At
Itorney Elmer II. Geran for the ex-
tension Of the street.
At the present time Broad street
is the only street in the borough
which can be extended without the
borough going to a large amount OF
expense. OF course IL is expected
that some condemnation proceed
ings will have to be gone into in
order to get some of the necessary
property, but aside from this and
the grading of the roadway, but
little money need be spent. whereas,
If Jackson street Is extended 1t will
cost a considerable sum to make fills
or bridges.
From the sketch presented at the
last meeting of the Borough Coun-
Gil by Borough Engineer Richard
Heuser, it was decided that the
proper course for the street would
be on the east side of the Lisk prop
erty in Valley Drive and it is this
plan which will be followed by the
engineer in making the map neces-
sary for the extension. 1t is likely
that the plan will be ready for the
council at the next meeting at which
time the ordinance will probably be
given it's first reading.
1t is likely that upon the compile
ton of the opening up of h south
erly end of Broad street to Freneau
the council will take the action nec-
essary to open the street on the
northerly end. At the present time
the street parallels Main street iron
| Little street to South street. There
is also a section of the street will
two dead ends. the entrance being
via Rabbit lane in the lower section
of the borough.

START HEARINGS TODAY ON
MERCHANT MARINE Bill

WASHINGTON. April 4:-Joint
congressional hearings on the ad-

were begun today with Republican
leaders confident the House would
be able to act on the be-
fore the close of the present session,
but generally doubtful as to whether
the senate will find time TO dispose
of it until after congress reconvenes
in December.
Sitting in joint session the senate
commerce committee and the House
merchant marine and fisheries COM
mittee planned TO hear the testimony
of shipping board officials. with
Chairman Lasker as the initial wit
ness and then to ascertain the views
of both proponents and opponents.
Members of both committees were
of the opinion the hearing would
continue for a month or more
Mr.. Lasker had announced that
in his opening statement to the COM
mittee he would declare the shipping
board believes that any free COM
petition with the privately owned
shipping of the world through sue
cessful government operation is an
impossibility. Government operation
of ships in the opinion of shipping
board heads is not only a costly
failure but is dragging private own
ers off the sea without accomplish
ing anything itself.
