VETERAN TOOK RISK OTHERS
FEARED

A tale or heroism and bravery is
woven into story coming from
a motion picture studio in the wilds
of Canada. A rehabilitated ex-ser-
vice man trained in the New York
division of the United States Vet
rams Bureau as a motion picture
camera man, secured employment
in that capacity with the Cosmo-
politan studios. He had made good
as camera man and his assign
ments covered some of the biggest
scenes in a drama at present very
familiar to the public.
This veterans outfit was sent to
big woods. One day there came a
call from the director of the picture
for volunteer to jump over cliff
into small body fwater at great
risk of life. None of the actors re-
sponded to the call. But the ex-
service camera man had a mother
ill in New York and was without
funds to get to her. He volunteered
for the task despite injuries received
while under fire in France in 1918.
The first jump was made safely
but a camera damned and the scene
had to be REFINED. The same vet
eran volunteered to repeat the haz-
ardous jump, much to the amaze
ment of all members of the outfit
and large stakeholder in the com
pany, who was present. A bounty
of $500 had been offered to the
volunteer making the jump, and after
the man from the United States
Veterans Bureau had made the leap
the second time an additional 500
was given him by one of the own
ers of the company in recognition
of his spirit and bravery.

A good many years ago a woman S
magazine ran page on par with
the much heralded book on etiquette
of today, called Good and Bad
Taste;' or some such caption. Dress
was the subject--and the illustrat
ions for bad taste were so fragrant
as to be ludicrous. 1t really was a
highly amusing page! The question
of the advisability of showing things
in bad taste is much mooted. One
theory is that to show things that
are good acts more favorably on
the mind and the appreciation of
only good things is the result. But
occasionally we see things shown of
supposedly good taste which are not.
For my part, an occasional illustra-
ton of poor design or color will act
as a means of comparison which
would otherwise be lost. Those
who have no trained standard for
comparison frequently gain by the
use of contrasted examples.
In this sketch the use of black
and sand striped velour with plain
velour is shown as an illustration of
good decorating. But It is bad,
not just because | say so, but be-
cause it is fundamentally wrong.
Why? In the first place, the purpose
of any wall paper, floor covering,
curtain material, or furniture cover
ing is TO bring out the good quail
ties Of the structural design of the
room as whole and the window
frames, wood trim, and lines of the
furniture in particular. When this
purpose fails the room is not well
decorated. Occasionally there are
defects in the architectural details
of room which may be concealed
altogether or detracted from OBJ
servation by conscious effort at
emphasis ON another feature of the
ROOM
The use of stripes is generally adj
vocated to emphasize the perpen-

AN OPEN LETTER TO MIR.
ROBINSON

At recent meeting of Prominent
Democrats held in Pennington the
Democratic Candidate for Free
holder is reported in the press as
having stated substantially that he
had not promised appointments to
anyone.
The voters are aware that Mr..
Frank Dineen's term as clerk of
the Board of Freeholders expires
this year, and that he is a candidate
fer County Treasurer, or, if this
is not available, for reappointment
as clerk of the Board of FREEHOLD
ers. Is it possible that Mr.. Robin
son is not going to aid Mr.. Dineen
after the aggressive way Mr.. Din
cen is soliciting his friends to sup
port Mr. Robinson?
Harry Stout and ex-Road Super
visor Warren Tompson are also
in line and doing all they can for
Mr.. Robinson's election. As the
matter stands il looks as if all of
them will be taken care of. The
fact that Mr. Robinson lets it be
known that he has not made definite
promises does not answer the Vo-
ters' questions and until he states,
as Mr.. Horn, the Republican candi-
date has stated that he will not
appoint Dineen, Stout or Tompson,
we have a right to believe he will
take care of all of them if elected.
The voters had better play safe
and vote for John j Horn.

LEST WE FORGET

The coming election is important.
The voters will decide who will oe-
cupy the important office of sher-
if, and which party will control the
Board of Freeholders of Hunterdon
County, besides selecting a member
of Assembly and Coroner
Fortunately the voters know
something of what happened to us
during the time that the Democratic
bosses had control, and we do not
believe that the taxpayers who re-
member the conditions under their
management will vote to restore
those responsible to power.
A glance at the financial state
ments of the county will show that
the 1922 appropriation provided for
deficits and previous over-expendi-
lures under Democratic control, of
! S76,666.51, which was augmented
by afterward discovered bills against
the county aggregating S1711S70,
or total of s93,7s5,21 of over
expenditures, deficiencies and judg-
ment provided for in the appropri-
ations of 1922 and 1923 when the
Republicans came into power.
This situation was severely criti-
cized by the auditor and state of
ficials, and was brought to the at
tention of the Grand Jury by JUS
tice Trenchard at the suggestion of
of the Prosecutor, but the Grand
Jury, for some mysterious reason,
ignored the fact that series of
exceeding of the appropriations had
become so common and usual under
the white House" management
that some Grand Jurors are said
to have hesitated to vote for indict-
ment against their friends.
While they escaped indictment,
is there any good reason for PIN
ming medals on freeholders respon-
sible for this condition? Notwith-
standing the fact that William Wean
was member of the Board of Free
holders when many of these Illegal
expenditures We're made in 1921, and
by being director of the board, had
greater responsibility than any
member of the board for the con-
dition of affairs, Mr.. Wean has the
effrontery to ask the voters to make
him sheriff of Hunterdon County,
and the bosses who hand picked him
also selected George N. Robinson as
their candidate for freeholder They
selected and elected doc" Dilts, an
ex-county supervisor, last year, and
this year they are trying to gain
control of the county by running
their Union Township representa-
tive for member of the board.
just consider-Messrs Horn and
Haynes, the two Republican mem
bers of the board, have caused the
payment of 1913, 1881 of back bills
incurred under Democratic control,
and have put the county on sound
financial basis. Are you going to
return the gang to power that was
responsible for this condition by
defeating the man who has kept
his promises and made good?
The figures given above are
FACTS and can be verified by the
official county records. They are
not the vaporings of BoSS-con-
trolled partisan press.

HORN AND EFFICIENT COUNTY

dicular lines of a room or furniture.
The furniture in this sketch is of
a heavy tho comfortable over-stuffed
variety that is much used today.
The use of stripes would tend to de-
crease the apparent size of the chair
if used all over. The point of con-
tention is that the use of two ma
terials-partieularl strong in this
nstance-defeats the purpose of
the use of the striped material. The
plain areas look bigger in proper
ton and the use of the two mater
ials attracts the eye more readily
than if either all striped or all plain
material were used. Unfortunately
the use of contrasting materials has
been shown by furniture houses and
decorating departments as the latest
thing in decoration. The fact that
it is new does not mean it is good.
The gullible public is so afraid of
missing out in the latest fad of the
day that it fails to discriminate be-
tween new and good.
The only instance that | can give
that would be an illustration
of the correct use of two ma
terials would be where the chair
back and seat might be made of old
needlework and the rest in plain
neutral repp. Or when quaint old
fashioned cross stitch were appli-
qued to the back and seat of chair
as decoration, but in that case the
material would be all the same with
only the figured part in the cross
stitch.
When in doubt about the quality
of anything, whether it be chair,
picture or a dress, try to analyze
the points to find out what is good
and what is bad in the object in
question. Generally little conscious
effort at analysis will clear away all
doubts and the pros and cons will
stand out clearly.

WHAT THE DOLLAR BUYS

An interesting study of the pur-
chasing power of the dollar from
1913 to 1923 has been made by the
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
and published in the September issue
of the Monthly Labor Review. Ac-
cording to this survey, the purchas-
ing power of the 1913 dollar which
was taken as the standard, has var
led widely in the last ten years. 1t
purchased more commodities in 1914
and 1915 than in 1913, but it began
to decline in 1916 until in May, 1920,
it was equal to only 40 cents in pur-
chasing power as compared with
1913 In June, 1923, its purchas-
ing power as compared with 1913,
was 65 National Republican.

PERSONALITY VS.. MONEY

Money is money, no matter where
you find it. But personality is
something else again" Personality
may mean money, and lots of it, if
it is of the right sort. The pig
headed nincompoop may have lot
Of money or may control some of
it. but when left to fair competition
where personality counts, he'll last
about as long as dunghill before
the onslaught of swarm of tum-
blebugs.
And personality in bank where
money is handled is one of the most
valuable assets the bank can have.
A fat-headed boob who takes him
self so seriously that he thinks the
world revolves around him, will
drive away more business than the
bank can create. Country school
teachers are all right in their place.
But when thru petting and pull one
should be put in a position of sup
posed" authority in bank where
his vanity puffs him up like pois-
oned pup, then it's time for the di-
rectors of that bank to read the
signs of the times and fire him!
A bank-any bank-thrives thru
it's SERVICE. But when an egotis-
teal blockhead is trusted with auth
GRITTY in a bank, and then insults
prospective customers, he is headed
for the Junk heap Just as surely
as pole cats stink (For that is what

And that's lust the point If a
bank can't do business with man,
then the representative of that bank
should have the personality to make
the refusal in gentlemanly, above
board manner that sends the pros
pective customer away friend
rather than an enemy.
No bank can continue to do bust

public institution that makes its
profit by doing business with the
public. A man who borrows money
from a bank is not an object of
charity, BUT HE is A CUSTOMER
WHO PAYS A PROFIT TO THAT
BANK
The fat faced idiot who treats
bank customers as if they were

He may fool his directors for II
while but they should be warned
when they find that local people are
doing business with other banks in
other towns.

but the banks whose advertisements
appear on this page are noted for
their courteous treatment And you
who have done business with them
can verify it. They treat you as
customers from whom they draw
revenue-not as objects of charity.

Says that Gold Diggers may be
