Edre Not to Attend

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S:-Be-
cause the senate is meeting today
and may take up some important
business Senator w. e. Edge decided
this morning that it would be mad
visable for him to leave Washing
ton to attend the meeting of the
State Republican committee at Tren-
ton today as he had planned and
cancelled his trip. He sent his sec
rotary Robert Zachary to Trenton on
the s o'clock train this morn
carry to the meeting of the state
committee a letter expressing his
regret that it would be impossible
for him to attend, and the letter
given to Senator Edge yesterday by
President Coolidge expressing the
Presidents deep appreciation of the
action Of the state committee in 60
ing on record at its meeting in Tren-
ton two weeks ago for the nominal
ton Of Coolidge for President in 1924.
Senator Edge deeply regretted his
inability to go to the Trenton meet
ing which will take up the question
of selecting the seven delegates at
large from New Jersey to the Re-
publican convention next year. BY

lions with friends in Trenton early
this morning however, and subse-
quent phone conversations this after
noon he will likely keep his hand on
the pulse of the committee meeting
and through friends will probably
see that his wishes receive as full
consid eration as though he were

SALARY FIGHT
At WOODBRIDGE
Township Committee Praises
Work of Treasurer Liddle
and Ordinance Passes

WOODBRIDGE, Dec. 1S.-The Or
dinance calling for an increase of
the township treasurer's salary from
$4,000 to $4,000 annually was APP
proved at the meeting of the town.
ship committee held last night, de-
spite the protests of several taxpay-
ers of the northern section of the
township. The ordinance also EN-
bodied the increase in the recorders
annual salary. Committeeman Gill
was the only member of the commit
tee who voted against its passage.
When the ordinance was brought
up for public reading, Thomas j.
Moran, saying that he represented
the North End Taxpayers Associa-
ton, opposed the increase, declaring
that the association at a recent meet.
ing, has voted down the proposed
increase. He said that from a finan-
cial statement of the township he
finds a number of overdrafts this
year, upon which he based his con-
tention that such an increase is in
advisable. He claimed that other
rhen would take the position at the
present salary.
d. 2. DE Young, Committeeman
elect Joseph FELTON, and Mr.. Meyer
also Appealed in behalf of killing
the increase ordinance.
Committeeman Leon McElroy, who
presided at the meeting in the abb
sence of Chairman Louis Neuberg,
was OF the opinion that the work
done by Treasurer Liddle was COM
mendable and that he had devoted
considerable extra time in that con-
nection.
Mr.. De Young charged thai the
financial statement of the township
was late in reaching his office and
would take this Up in the future.
However the general opinion of
both Republican and Democratic
committeeman, was that Treasurer
Liddle's work has been gratifying
and the increase therefore was
effected.

it away from a possible future Dem

called Ku Klux Khan section of the
ordinance and declared this vas not

and that the aldermen had voted
down three ordinances he had in
troduced against the Khan with teeth
in them. The section regulating the
duties of an officer where liquor is
sold was also discussed by Mr..
Clark, who held that there Is no
such place under the constitution to-

said. Tho question of removing dead
animals was also discussed by the
alderman, who declared he did not
know the city had a contractor TOT
this purpose.
City Attorney Wilentz stated the
ordinance gave the mayor more
power, that the police want the or
dinance and it was not drawn with
the intention of taking any of the
power from the mayor. Alderman
at-Large Calvin held that the police

MOVE TO MAKE HOUSE

HOME ECONOMICS DEPT.

The State Home Economics De-
partment, under the leadership of
Miss Marion Buffers, is conducting
a campaign to lessen housework by
the use of modern tools. The fol-
lowing interesting talk by Mrs. Har-
rington, of the state home economics
department, appeared in the Decem-
Der issue of New Jersey Agriculture,
official organ of the department.
Whats in the air this afternoon 2"
asked Ma Radiofan, as she dished
out Pa Radiofan's stewed tomatoes,
and tied bib around the neck Of a

berger's, isn't it? Mrs. Ida S. Har-

Ma did. She liked it so well that
before long she had Pa, who was en-
joying a half holiday that after
noon, straining to hear on the other
set of earpieces, while every little
while they let Grandma have turn.
Billy heard it at supper, but being
only two and half he was not great
ly impressed. But Ma and Pa and
Grandma were. This is what they
heard:
Do good tools pay? Are modern
housekeepers learning to look on
them as an opportunity to bring house
hold methods to a. level with the
methods used in up-to-date factories
and on up-to-date farms?
Putting money into labor saving
appliances is like other investments.
1t must bring ample and safe returns
to justify the cost. Therefore, like
any other investment, the purchase
of household appliances requires
study. In the state Of New Jersey
the extension service is now offering
to homemakers the opportunity to
study their working conditions,
working equipment, and working
habits in order that their threefold
capital Of money, time, and strength
may be spent to better advantage
than ever before. (About this time
Ma called Pa to the phones.)
The study of household appliances
includes the following points:
1. What do we expect labor saw
ing tools to do for us? The invest
ment is not a good one unless its
real purpose is clearly understood,
viz, to save time from housekeeping
in order that more may be given to
home making. Saving time Is of
little value in itself if the saved time
is wasted.
Cleaning three rooms instead of
two, by means of vacuum cleaner,
and telling the children to run
away because Mother is busy" is an
argument against, rather than for,
the vacuum cleaner. If, on the other
hand, the hours gained are spent in
a fishing trip with the boys, or the
furnishing of dolls house with the
girls, the purpose of the cleaner is
justified by that one red-letter day.
2. What constitutes a good tool
for a given household? Too often
piece of equipment is chosen with
out reference to the housekeeper' S
special problems: the size of the fam
lily, the amount of storage space
available, the type of house to be
cared for.
8. Will the tool be made 100 per
cent useful? Has the housekeeper
the ability to make a labor-saving
device save labor? $50 simple, a

child can run it," takes for granted
u child with mechanical turn OF
mind. Many women are Withou' this
faculty, and many women can I
stop" to acquire it. The result IS
that they accumulate bread mixers,
irelesS cookers, mop WrIngers, and
other excellent devices and never
learn to make them fully useful or
keep them in repair. The first and
most important Iabor-saving device
is. therefore, the mechanical turn of
mind which is natural to most men
and unnatural to most women. (Pa
kind of croWed over Ma about here).
A man insists on the right tool;
a woman is willing to get on with
g makeshift. A woman asks man
to drvie a nail for her. His i'm
mediate question is: where IS
Jour hammer IL there is no ham
mer, the man declines to drive that
nail. But the woman rushes in with
an 20, pshaw!" and uses a hat-iron
or a boot heel.
Her ability to m3et the emergency
is, of course, an excellent quality, but
in the long run, good and speedy
work Is impossible with emergency
tools. The unfortunate thing about
making a flat-iron serve as ham
ner is that it has convinced men
that women prefer a hat-1ron to a
hammer, just as they are supposed
To prefer dull knife to a sharp one.
Men conclude, therefore. that good
tools are thrown away on house
keepers.
Hero is an instance of outdoor ef-
ticiency and indoor makeshifts: A
rural mail carrier was rejoicing as
he went from house to house that
the postoffice department now re-
quires uniform construction and
convenient location for mail boxes,
in order that time, strength and
money may be saved
The mail carrier stopped on his
route to deliver registered pack
age. As he reached the house, a
woman's voice called from within
"You push the door and I'll pull"
Obeying instructions, the carrier
entered with 'hdsis To his ques-
ton, whats wrong with your
door?" The woman replied:
ut won't shut unlesc you slam 1T
and then it sticks. One of these
days I'm going to get my husband
TO plane it off little and to put a
drop of oil on the catch. You see
there's only one oil cah. and that Is
In the SeW1nE mdCnne upSLdlfS-
and only one plane, and that's in the
barn!'
Had a man been acting as house
keeper, there would have been two
Gil cans and two planes! (Pa
Beams.)
1t would be good thing to have
men demonstrate better mechanical
standards in homes. No man would
work long without proper tools
Moreover, he would overcome the
practical limitations cf some of the
so-called Iabor-saving devices which
men have invented, but have not al
ways tested adequately.
Our chief trouble as housekeepers
To-day is that we are not making our
Iresent equipment 100 per cent use
full, and therefore cannot hope tc
get the fullest value from the pur-
chase of new equipment. We mus
study and improve our methods OF
using what we already have, while
planning what we shall add to our
| equipment as opportunity arises
Any tool worth buying deserves in
