international News Service.

If there is someone in the United
States with many millions of dol
lars and an unquenchable desire to
get rid Of them easily and rapidly
here is the way for him to win
everlasting fame by emulating the
great Carnegie. All he has to do is
to establish a museum in each city
town and village in the country.
The plan to dot the Nation with
historical and artistic exhibits has
been formulated by the American
Association of Museums, which of
fers to cooperate with any indi-
vidual or any community which
wants to set up museum for its
very own.
Get Local Exhibits.
In addition to the collecting of
accurate information concerning
authenticated historical objects,
the association suggests that these
local museums should be devoted
to the exhibiting of the following:
OLD costumes, house furnishings,
implements, weapons. manuscripts,
natural history objects such as ant
mails, plants, and minerals; Ameri-
can art works prcuuced in the iocal
community, and other art objects
produced elsewhere.
"a weIl-balanced museum the
association says, should include
exhibits showing the materials,
processes and products of local iRI
llustries and commercial organiza-
tions. TO give citizens a better un-
Outstanding Of the place and Inn
portance of their community in the
realm of business.
Not Popular Now.
stMuseums now are in about the
same shape of popular appreciation
az were public libraries few years
ago, but there Is every indication
that in the near future they viii
become as numerous as libraries are
today. The best interests OF every
community should give attention i'm
mediately to obtaining for their city
the advantages OF museum and the
prestige of a place Of leadership
which is now gaining Roadway.
The real purpose of museums Is
not generally understood because
there have been so many junk houses
which have been called museums.
Modern museums are public institu-
lions which are responsible for edu-
cational work which depends upon
collections. They cooperate with
schools by sending illustrative mate
rial into the classrooms to make
school work more attractive. They
furnish pictures for publication in
newspapers, magazines and books.
They investigate science and art and
history and thus make contributions
to knowledge. They encourage the
best in art and so promote good taste
and appreciation OF beauty.
School children need the instruc-
ton which they can get only by
seeing and touching the, things about
which the read in books. By mu-
scum methods applied in co--opera-
ton with schools, their understand
ing Of the world is broadened and
their ability to use knowledge is
increased.
Scores of homes in every city
hold objects Of great historical
interest which should be displayed
publicly and preserved for the COM
munity. The work of local artists
usually deserves more attention than
1t gets, and a museum can stimulate
interest, increase appreciation and
preserve worthy objects for all time.

MILLION GAIN
City Assessors Complete Tax
Duplicates - Total 1923
Valuations $35, 769, $50

The Perth Amboy tax duplicates
were turned over to the County
Board of Taxation at New Bruins
wick today by the local Board of
Assessors, the figures showing an in
crease of $1,000,235 over the 1922
valuations.
The total valuations of the city,
as contained in the report made 70
the county court today, amount TO
1891 for 1922. The increase of
slightly more than $1,000,000 N
ratables represents an increase Of
about three and one-half per cent
over last years figures.
Local valuations received several
big cuts, it was learned this morning,
as the result of an increased amount
of property becoming exempt from
taxation during the past year. This
included privately owned property
which was purchased by the city,
property upon which buildings were
torn down or removed and no new
building operations started by Oc-
tober L of last year and property
now being used for school purposes
which was formerly occupied by
private dwellings. Increases, how
ever were made in fixing the valua-
tions upon local industries.
The county tax board was sched-
uled to meet in New Brunswick this
afternoon at which time it was ex-
pected the board would act upon
the Perth Amboy tax duplicates.
The county board has instructed
some of the assessors in various
parts of the county to make revi-
sions, believing that the valuations
set by them were not high enough.
1t is not known how the county
board will regard the figures of the
Perth Anboy board as a request
was made last year of the lov:4-
beard to increase the Perth Amboy
valuations considerably, laying spe-
cia! emphasis on boosting the fac
tory ratables and equalizing valua-
tions in the business part of the

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
IN RUHR OCCUPATION

The Ruhr Valley was reported
quiet but sullen today, following
the disturbance last night in Dues
seldorf and Essen auelled by the
French with only minor casualties
and the wounding of two Germans.
Strong military precautions have
been taken by the French to pre-
vent recurrence of these demon
strations. Artillery has been post
ed all around Essen and two ad-
ditlonal army corps are said to
have been ordered up in haste
from Alsace-Lorraine. Nineteen
arrests were made in Dusseldorf.
The Ruhr continues almost COM
pletely tied up by the railroad
strike and immigration from the
valley is similarly at q standstill.
Dispatches from the Ruhr de-
clared 10000 miners now are
idle, the movement out of the pits
gradually increasing unemploy-
ment.
Paris dispatches reflect a more
favorable opinion of the situation.
The strike, it is stated, is only par
tia1 and government reports show
but 10000 miners out in the Essen
region.
Germany was formally declared
in default to France and Belgium
on all her reparation rights under
the Versailles treaty by a vote of
the allied reparation dominion.
The British cabinet meeting to-
day had the situation before it.
While many quarters, including
labor, are demanding the recall
of the British troops, others are
decidedly opposed and the cabinet
is reported divided. Forecasts
were that the cabinet would prob
ably decide to await Developments
and that not even a definite an
nouncement n the subject would
be made.
