JEFFREYs STREET

Jeffreys street extends from Amboy
venue eas to the tracks Of the
Central Roalroad. 1t was laid out
by C. c. Hommann on the estate of
John Reynolds. Although not paved
the street is graded and there are
some curbs and private sidewalks.
The street is quite thickly settled and
there are many shade trees. Ac-
cording to best recollection the street
was named after Lord Jeffreys, a
famous English jurist.

That settles Il.
The controversy between the full
and narrow skirt has ended In COM
promise Of the kind we expect in
world conferences: one side gets the
balance of power. The clinging skirt
rules. It's full. oh. yes; but. never
theless. it droops against the figure

the conclusion is . inevitable that
fashionable clothes must cling as
does skin to q peach.
The women OF two countries re-
belied against the effort OF the dress
makers to persuade them to appear
older. The slim. straight gown gave
q semblance of youth to those who
were in danger"of losing IT. It &C.
centuated the youth OF those who
had it. Who would willingly sacri-
ice that which all women search
through : high priced, commercial
fountains OF Ponce de Leon? The
answ.r lies in the continuance OF the
slim silhouette, the revival Of the
short skirt, the insistanco upon the
simple helmet hat. The public has
spoken. -..

and Germany, beginning . hundred
years or 30 before Columbus discov-

welcomed all immigrants.
Today the Jews swarm In every
town of this country. They do a big
part of the business Of Poland and
are interested in all OF the big under
takings as well as the small ones. In
the past every rich landowner had
his Jew who managed his property,
buying and selling and making his
bargains. The Jews are the middle
men OF the new republic. They do
not take to farming and are essen
everywhere and the business signs
are quite as frequently Hebrew as
Polish.
The, Jews are interested In politics
and they have a big part In the gov
ernment. They have their repre-
sentatives In parliament and their
own political parties. The orthodox
party is largely religious. It's organ.
