DISTRICT
IS SUbD|V|DED
Fourth District Will be Chang
ed to Include Three Sep
arate Sections

KEASBEY, Jan. 17.-The fourth
fire district of Woodbridge ToV n
ship, comprising Fords, Hopelawn
and K~easbey, will be s~ubdivided in
to three separate districts, each gov
erened by it's own board of fire COM
missioners and appropriation, as the
result of a combined meeting of the
Board of Fire Commissioners of the
Fourth Fire District and over sew
enty-five firemen, held at the Fords
Fire House, last night.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after s o'clock by President
Melvin H. Clum, of the fire COM
missioners, who explained the pur-
pose of the meeting. Under the new
law enacted recently by the legisla-
ture and passed by the New Jersey
State Department at Atlantic City,
the first companies of the fourth dis
trict would only be entitled to sixty
five active members, who would be
eligible for the $500 death benefit.
Inasmuch as there are about $50
firemen in this district now it was
thought advisable to subdivide the
district into three separate units, so
as to permit a bigger quota of active
firemen for each district.
Discussions were called for and
after some lengthy talks, the presi-
dents of the three fire companies
were asked to select a committee of
five to thrash out the matter. Presi-
dent Erich F. Schuster of the Keas-
hey company, appointed John J.

was later released in custody Of a
lawyer from Philadelphia, Pa.
A four months tour of the princi-
pal seaports and points of interest
in this country, gave Miss Federuci
TO believe that America was surely
the land of promise. She was in
fatuated with the new world, but
her time allotted by the government
was rapidly pairing down to but sew
eral short weeks and she went to
Reading, Pa, to the home Of rela-

BOY SCIENTIST STUDIES BEES
Interesting Story Told Of chIIdhood
of Prof. FrsdorlQo DeIpine
o. Naples.

An interesting story is told of the
childhood of Prof. Frederigo Del
pine of Naples. His earlier years
we're largely spent in his fathers
garden at Chiayari, where he grew
fond of studying the habits of ants,
bees and wasps, and discovered by
his own observation the manner in
which the great blne-black bee,
Xylocopa violacea, constructs it's
nests.
Years afterward, when Delpino
was employed in the customs sery-
ice, q friend called his attention
TO the report of an English natur-
alist describing the manner ID
which the same bee pollinates the
flower Of an orchid.
The memory of his childhood's
studies instantly came back, and he
exclaimed that the insect performed
q similar servics for the flowers Of
the Aslepias. Fastening TO CHA
vari, be confirmed his statement,
and the result was paper on the
subject which at once gave him q
rank in the world of science.

TcHEHov'S OPINION OF WORK
'Iif Everyone Did All He Could on tiis
Land, How Beautiful
the Earthl"

I have never met a man who felt
the Importance of work as the foun-
dalton of culture so deeply and so
comprehensive as Tchehov did. In
him this was expressed in all the
details of his domestic arrange
ments, in his choice Of things and
in the noble love he felt for them
love which, utterly excluding the
desire to hoard them up, never tires
of admiring them.
He loved to build, to plant gar
dsns to adorn the earth; he felt
the poetry OF work. With what
touching care he used to look at the
FRUIT trees and strawberries he had
planted in his gardenl When he
WAS engrossed by the building Of his
house In Autka be said:
IF every one did all he could on
his piece Of land, how beautiful our
earth would be l"-Maxim Gorky,

CHAMoIS is MISSIONER TODAY
II ia Now Made From sheepskin and
Term Refers to Process,
Not Material.

The term "chamois" is a mis-
homer today; for although this
leather was originally prepared
from the skin of the channels Of
southern Europe, it is now made
from sheepskin and the term refers
to the process and not to the actual
leather. The part of the sheep used
for "chamois' is the underskin,
which until recently was discarded
as of no value, remarks the Detroit
News.
When sheepskins arrive at glove
factory they are first scraped with
knife and then passed over q swiftly
revolving emery wheel. The skins
are then thoroughly soaked in oil
and soapsuds, after which they are
bleached by being hung on racks in
the open air. The next process is
coloring and as channels leather is
dressed with oil it does not readily
absorb dye. But some beautiful
shades of gray and brown are pro-
duced and manufacturers are con-
stantly experimenting to improve
their methods.
After dying, the skins are put
into drying chambers, where they
become hard; so when taken out
they have to be reduced again to
natural softness, which lis done on
the emery wheel. The skins are
finally beaten and then sent into the
sorting shop where the best are Sc
ected and made up into gloves.

YOUR AUTO LICENSE

1t is time now 10 get your auto
mobile license for next year. Unless
this matter is attended to early
whole lot of people are going TO be
disappointed. The making out OF
licenses is not the simple thing IT
has been in years past. 1t used to
take enough time as 1t was, but 1t
is going tc take great deal longer
now. What used TO be done in four
or five days will now require fifteen
or twenty days, so If you would
make sure to have your license So
as to be able TO use your car dur
ing the early part of January you
will get your license at once.
1t seems tha; there were over
$4,000 licenses fl-d at Trenton last
year that could not be classified and
filed because the writing was so poor
the commissioner and his assistants
could not make 1t out. This upset
the records completely. II there was
an accident and request was made
for the owner of a certain license.
the number might be one OF those
hot filed on account OF ELIGIBILITY
and the facts could not be asaer-
tanned.
Under the new ruling all applioa-
tions have to be typewriter. This
takes time. Furthermore, there
have to be made two car licenses
made out. one to be given to the
applicant and the other to be fled at
Trenton, and the drivers license
must be made out in triplicate. One
Of these goes to the driver, another
Is sent to Trenton, and the other Is
filed a; the agency where the appli-
