FINAL SHOW OF PRISON
MINSTRELS ON TONIGHT

The last performance of the
penitentiary melody minstrels
will be given this evening at the
-penitentiary auditorium. The
show has been attracting large
crowds and the proceeds will go
into the recreation fund.
The king of Harmonica" with
his solos on the mouthorgan are
one of the attractions and is the
equal of any of the professionals
of the stage. To hear him initiate
the Shasta limited from Portland
to Salem is alone worth the price
of admission. Many Of the jokes
originated within the prison, es-
pecialiy those dispensed by Fred
TAYLOR. eolored comedian. The
chorus singing is especially good
this year. The male quartet has
taken so we'll that it has had to
respond to encore after encore.

ANOTHER CORNERSTONE LAID

Perth Amboy had another cornerstone laying yesterday that
means much in the development of the city. The erection of a
great building at Madison avenue and Jefferson street for the head
quarters of Jewish activities here is a monument to the progressive
ness and iberality of the people of Perth Amboy. The spirit shown
at the exercises, the harmonious relations and the cooperation that
was so apparent have a significance that will be understood more
and more as time passes.
1t was no small undertaking that the Young Mems Hebrew
Association, working in conjunction with the Young Womens
Hebrew Association, began several years ago. With a determine
ton to succeed and with unlimited enthusiasm, they set about with
the faith that has been handed down to them from the fathers. To-
day they see the result of their labors in this magnificent structure,
the cornerstone of which was laid yesterday with due ceremony.
Perth Amboy is going to be a bigger and better city az a result
Of this stupendous undertaking. It is one of the few cities in the
state to possess such a building. That it will serve well its pur-
pose there is no doubt. 1t is to be a modern plant in every particu
lar; nothing will be lacking to make it a home worthy of the pur-
pose for which i. is erected and a credit to the city in which it
Is located.
1t will stand as a testimonial of Jewish culture, Jewish faith
and Jewish enterprise that have come down through the ages. It
will stand for character building among the young people and as
an encouragement to the old to hold fast to that which is good
The activities that will go on in this building will have much to do
with the upift of the community and give to Perth Amboy a pres
tie that few cities enjoy.
The Evening News expresses the sentiment of everyone when
sfextends congratulations to the Jews of Perth Amboy upon the
wonderful success of yesterdays exercises. From now on the
walls of this building will grow rapidly; the interior will be fitted
out and then will come the formal exercises of dedication that will
mark the beginning of a new era for the Jews Of this vicinity.
The young men and young women who have played such an
important part in this noble work will look back with pride, in
after years, at what they accomplished today. It is an honor, in
deed, to be able to have a part in the great things that are now
being done.

STRANGE MIR. YOU

We are strange nervous mechanlsms, we humans, lear
fully and wonderfully made. And here are three OF the strang-
est things about us, caught i'll the far-flung net, To-Day s he"s'
A young soldier, mentally wrecked by shel-shock, was ex-
nerimented on by doctors. Taken to a room where everything
was a vivid red, he shrieked in agony. Then they led him
to a primroseyellow room. He sighed happily, drifted to deep
sleep. Kept in this room he rapidly recovered to normal.
S. 7. Balinger of New York tells this remarkable story OIL
a convention of paint and varnish makers.
Ballinger says scientists have discovered that a room 1ur-
nished in a dark color tends to cause melancholia and an
aversion to work. A red room temporarily stimulates, then
reacts in nervous headache. Blue induces calm. Green seems
to impart happiness and vitality. Yellow makes people
amiable, contented, soothed.
A good tip, when you redecorate the home. 10 AVOID mo-
notony, use combinations, not one color alone.
The effect of color vibrations on our nerves is a mystery.
Railroad riding will be rougher as the weather gets colder,
says DR.. Plimmon Fl. Dudley, weather expert for New YORK
Central Railroad.
He explains it this way: Winter cold makes the steel rails
thermometer drops. To our delicate nerves, riding seems
very bumpy over the slight gaps between the shrunken rails.
You think it wonderful that frost" can shrink steel rails
and make them crack. More wonderful is that we strange hu-
mans are more powerful than either cold or steel, both our
slaves. Our mental and nerve powers, compared with animals,
are little short of terrible.
In Western Electric laboratories, this is discovered: The
human voice can be reduced to a milionth of its volume and
still be heard. But the voice cannot be heard when reduced
to a ten-millionth.
That is a remarkably fine distinction, the vanishing point
of sound so infnitesimally minute that the human brain cannot
conceive of it.
Yet it holds good for all normal human ears, although no
two people hear the same thing in exactly the same way.
When you ponder marvels, consider the delicacy of the
human nerves that make all this possible.
