WILL GAS WEEvILS ON
FARM NEAR DAWSON
A DEMONSTRATION WILL BE
GIVEN BY DAWSON COTTON
OIL CO. ON THURSDAY.

The Dawson Cotton Oil Co. has
arranged for demonstration of chic
rine gas as a boil weevil poison to
be held on Thursday afternoon at the
farm OF Mr.. Ardelle Smith, west of
Dawson.
Chlorine gas was made use of in
large quantities during the war as one
of the many poison gases employed
| by the combatants.\ Chlorine is an
element always occurring in nature in
state OF combination and large
AMOUNTS OF the gas were liberated by
chemists during the war by the ac-
ton of sulphuric acid and manganese
dioXide for use OF the allied forces.
The war, OF course, left a large sup
ply on hand, and it has been ascer-
tanned by chemists that the gas may
be used to eXterminate boil weevilS
successfully.
Experts will be present and apply
the gas late in the afternoon, as it is
not feasible to use chlorine in the day
time, due to its action in combination
with the sun. However, when applied
in this manner there is no danger to
anything but the boil weevil. Chlorine
being two and a half times as heavy
as air will, of course, form a vapor
close to the ground over the cotton
plants, thus insuring prompt action
to the pests.
The Dawson Cotton Oil Co. is hay
ing this gas demonstrated in order to
help the farmers of this section arrive
at the best possible way to extermi-
nate the cotton pest, and doubtless a
large crowd will attend the exhibit
ton.

BOY SAID HE
WANTED HOME
Tells Conflicting Story When
Picked Up by Police at
South Amboy

SOUTH AMBOY, April 4. - Two
small boys brought Philip Polsineti.
sixteen years old, to the city hall late
last evening where Sergeant Patrick
Ryan was on duty. The boys told
the sergeant that Philip had no
home and wanted one. Sergeant
Ryan questioned the boy who said
that he had been an inmate of a
home, but was taken from it by a.
farmer, who he alleged treated him
cruelty and would not pay him.
He liked to show off a whole lot"
said Philip. He'd stop automobiles,
and talk to the drivers for a long
time. He was worse than a cop"
The boy gave the farmers name as
Frank Malliett, of M~artinsville, N. J.
He said he was given a ride as far
as South Amboy in an automobile
truck, and had met the boy friends
on Broadway.
The boy told conflicting stories,
when questioned about the home he
had been stationed at. At first he said
it was Saint Mary's Home, at Plain
field. The sergeant, phoned to au-
thorities at Plainfield and learned
that there was no such home at that
place. The boy a then taken to
Saint Mary's Rectory, where DR.. Ed
ward c. Griffen, the pastor, renewed
the questioning. He again told sew
eral conflicting stories, but later ad-
mitted that he had a brother at
Bound Brook, who kept a bakery at
that place. DR.. Griffen advised the
police to communicate with the
brother. He said he would hold the
boy at the rectory until a policeman
came for him. When the officer ar
rived at the rectory, he found Philip
busy over a hot supper. He was
again brought to the City Hall and
the chief of Police at Bound Brook,
advised that he would get in touch
with the brother. He added he knew
the youngster, who was a character.
The brother Achille Polsineti, tele-
phoned the city hall, where he told
Sergeant Ryan he would not be able
to come for the boy until sometime
today.
Philip later told a News represen-
tative, in his cell, that his father and
mother had died when he was TWO
years old. and that he had been
committed to a home at Hopewell.
He did o deny that he had 3een
working for the farmer at Martins
vile. His clothes, which consisted
of blue overalls and jumper showed
plainly the need of attention. With
his cap for a pillow, he slept the
sleep of the carefree last night.

COMPLAINT
At JAMESBURG

Jamesburg, April 4.-With a
full membership present the session
of the common council, at borough
hall was one of the shortest on rec
ord, less than an hour being requir-
ed to complete the business of the
night. Mayor Jacob Wyckoff, pre-
sided with the following councilmen
present: Messrs. Gabriel, Lokerson.
Stonaker. Hausser, Conover and
Clerk William Fl. Brooks.
The first business before the body
was conn ints from Mrs. Sophie
Nancy, aI4 Frank II. Pownall. who
complained of the practice of chill
dren using sidewalks as speedways
for roller-coasting, bicycles, roller
skates and other forms of locomo-
ton and noise-producers on cement
sidewalks. A full discussion follow
ed and the sentiment of the council
men was decidedly against the prac-
tice and the police chief, G. j. Fill
hover was authorized to h.rn the
offenders against a further practice.
Recorder Harry Emmons, defended
the practice of the children in using
the walks as they have no other
place to use their skates and wagons.
Frank Pownall in his complaint
threatened to dig up his cement walk
if the nuisance is not abated. John
I~ntravatoia, intended to lay a new
walk but is deferring same until
some decision is made in the en-
forcement of the law against the
practice.
Another complaint was before
council in regards to the practice of
certain men engaged in the carting
business of dumping refuse near the
schoolhouse and residences in town.
This practice has been resumed with
the coming of warm weather and ar
rests threatened if the offense
continues.
Councilman Conover, of the street
committee made several recommen-
dations for the improvement of the
streets. The most important was the
filling in of Buckelew avenue, oppo-
site Willow street that has become
a menace for drivers of vehicles.
The matter of purchasing a safe
for the use of the keeping of bor-
ough records was brought before the
meeting and prices will be secured
and the purchase made.
The matter of purchasing a STAN
dardized tax bill and the issuing of
a separate tax bill was discussed with
no action taken.
Isaac Farr, the present street
commissioner and collector of gar
bage was successful in his bid for
the year, 1928. His bid OF $2,050.
the only one received was accepted
by council. The work of Commits
sioner Farr the past year was given
unusual praise by the members.
