NEW JERSEY SOLDIERS BONUS

The New Jersey Soldiers Bonus
Commission calls attention to the
fact that but sixty days remain in
which soldiers may file applications
for the bonus passed by the act of
the 1920 legislature.
The original time expired March
Is, 1921, but because of hundreds of
applications being filed after the
time limit, and because the appli-
cants in most cases stated that they
did not understand the requirements,
the 1928 legislature passed meas
ure extending the time limit to Jan
uary /, 1924.
Soldiers entitled to the bonus are
urged by the commission to file ap-
plications as soon as possible. George
r. Parker, Commander of Post No.
159, American Legion, Pennington,
New Jersey, has few application
blanks and will be glad to assist
applicants in filling these out. Men
who have not filed their applications
should bring army, navy or marine
corps discharges, and two persons
who knew them at the time of their
entrance into the service, and call
upon Mr.. Parker at his office on
the second floor of the Pennington
National Bank building, Fleming
ton, N. J. This service is rendered
gratis to any ex-service man or wo-
man.

BELLEAU WOODS HERO TO BE
HONORED ARMISTICE DAY
VETERANS COLUMN

With full military honors, the
body of Private George Dilboy, of
Massachusetts, who has been recog-
nized by the War Department as
zone of the outstanding heroes of
the World War;" will be buried
November IL at Arlington Cemetery.
Army officers and former COM
rades of the lad who posthumously
was awarded the congressional med
al of honor will join in paying trib-
ute to his memory.
Dilboy lost his life at Belleau
Wood. His body was sent to the
home of his parents at Alachata,
Turkey, where, it has been charged,
Turkish soldiers broke open the cas-
ket, stripped it of the American flag
and desecrated the body, the Incl
dent resulting in diplomatic ex-
changes between the United States
and Turkey. Dilboy's body has been
sent to the United States for burial
at his parents request.

PROOF OF OUR SUPERIORITY

When the Woodward Farms real
estate development was ready for
public announcement, this paper was
selected as the best medium for its
publicity. Their exclusive announce
ment, occupying an entire page, was
published in this paper. 1t was fol-
lowed in the succeeding issue by
another full page. Another full
page, the third, is carried in this
issue.
This paper goes into nearly sew
enteen hundred homes regularly
special issues at various times have
gone into nearly two thousand
homes. On the estimate Of the u.
S. Census Department there are or
the average of five people to a
home. Thus this paper reaches an
average of eight thousand and five
hundred people each issue.
We were told by the Woodward
Farms representative, when their
advertisements began in this paper,
that careful inquiries and observa-
tions had been made to ascertain
the best medium of publication. And
their exclusive announcement was
made in our columns.
If you have anything to tell the
public, learn a lesson from the
Woodward Farms Co., and use these
columns.

INTERPRETATION

Humor and self-criticism, it has
often been pointed out, go together;
sense of humor is an antidote for
conceit. Victor Hugo had no sense
Of humor, and the complacency with
which he looked back upon his ca
reer arose from conceit that was
even more colossal than his genius.
Late in life some of his friends
were talking with him, and of course
about him. One said, "Streets ought
to be named after him."
Another remarked: "Streets ?
Paris ought to change its name and
be called Victor Hugo"
Another added scornfully: paris l?
Paris, after such a great man? No,
indeed! France ought to change its
name and the whole country be
called Victor Hugo"
The great writer then lifted his
head and with Jovian dignity spoke
in tones of quiet, solemn conviction:
"That will come in time. kansas

LEADING EDITORS
OF THE COUNTRY
GERMANS SPEND MONEY FOR
PLEASURE WHILE AMERICA
FEEDS HUNGRY CHILDREN

Germany is cold to American
plans for relieving the hungry. The
news that Americans are planning
to feed 100000 German children
this winter is published in a Gov
eminent journal with a sort of
heavy sullenness. There is no word
of gratitude but plenty of reproaches
against the nations because they
have not forced the French out of
Germany. German Big Business
is taking the attitude that distress
among German children is a prob
lem for foreigners and not for the
stuffed Golfers of Teuton industry.
They believe the generous Americans
may be relied upon. Meanwhile
the German spends his marks on
pleasure or on extending his bust
ness rather than on famine-stricken
children. The gayety of Berlin
has not dulled. Is there a people in
the world outside of Germany who
would act as do these singular and
strange minded Teutons ?-Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.

type. AS a rule the simpler the
shape of the frame the easier it is
to make as well as being preferable
to the grotesque and fanciful.
"Parchment" shades are not made
of parchment. Parchment is an ami
NAL substance-really the skin of a
sheep, lamb or calf, prepared for
writing. 1t is difficult to paint on
and expands and contracts from heat
and moisture. Parchment shades are
made from parchment paper, which
is an imitation of parchment. This
paper requires oil paint. A plain
white paper can be used and painted
with water color and then oiled to
give the notified effect of parch-
ment. If the shade is bought made
up, the paint must be put on with
brush. If the paper is not on the
frame and has to be fitted on by the
maker, the pattern for the shade
must be cut out and fitted. The de-
sign and background are then paint
ed on; the background may be rub
bed in with cloth instead of paint
ed on with a brush. This gives an
evener surface and does not show
brush marks.
When making silk shades the lin
ing should be put on first, after the
spokes and rings have been care
fully and tightly wound with silk or
cotton tape. This has to be wound
tightly or it will slip when sewed to.
The lining should be drawn from the
inside over onto the right side and
sewed, then the silk for the outside
is sewed on over where the lining is
sewed and the raw edges cut close.
The trimming is then put on to cover
up the raw edges and the complete
shade is neat and well-fnished in
side. and out.

You can, if you have the patience
and nimble fingers!
First, description of the various
shades shown in the sketch. The So
called parchment shade on the
wrought iron standard is tinted an
orange with band of deeper orange
around the bottom. The second is
also parchment with deep ecru
background and design painted in
jade green and turquoise blue. The
third, silk shade, is made of
changeable taffeta in copper and
ecru shades. The edging is made
by fringing band of the silk which
is then pleated or ruffled as a ru-
ching on the shade. The fourth
shade is of rose taffeta silk, and
trimmed with fruits and flowers
made of silks in pastel shades. They
are set closely together and sewed
on fiat to the top and bottom of the
shade. The fifth, small shade is
made of unbleached muslin, stretched
tight on the frame and shellaced.
The decoration may be painted on
the shellaced muslin or pieces of
bolted cloth may be cut out and
stuck on the muslin and the whole
shellaced again. The large shade is
a combination of bands of Chinese
embroidery and plain crepe, lined
with cream colored China silk and
trimmed with gold fringe.
+ Shade frames may be obtained
from department stores in many
shapes and sizes. The shape and
size of the frame must depend upon
the size and contour of the lamp
that the shade is for. Flaring shapes
give larger radius of light and for
that reason are better for reading
and general use than the straighter

A DEFINITION

AS educated people know, most
every word has string of defini-
tions. That is, varied shades of
meaning applying to the same word.
Sometimes the most obscure defni-
ton will carry the greatest meaning.
As for instance, on page 1876 of
Webster's New International Die
tionary, in the third column appears
the word BEACON" In section 5
you will find the definition being,

CAN'T BUY BOOKS.
AS a result Of the war, the
Polish newspapers are perhaps
read more than ever, because
the high cost of book publica-
tion has compelled many readers
to forego the purchase OF books
and depend upon the dailies or
weeklies, and publishers also
hesitate to undertake the bring
ing out of books because of the
increased cost of paper and
labor. The "Goniec Krakowski"
