SCHOOL ATHLETICS
FIGHT CALLED Off
Action of High School Prin.
cIpalS to Mean Vigorous
Control by Authorities.

vigorous control over high school
athletics will be a direct resur+ ~
the action of the board of high
school principals in withdrawing the
recommendation formerly presented
to Superintendent Ballou to the ef-
feet that inter-schoiastic competition
in athletics should be abandoned for
a period of two years.
Decision of the high school prin-
cipalS to withdraw the proposai for
two-year ban on inter-high school
athletic contests, which was reached
az three hour conference yesterday
afternoon in Franklin School, was
based upon the opinion that the best
Characteristic in inter-high school
competitions should be preserved.
Views Given by TiEert.
The meeting was attended by Supt.
Ballou. Asst. Supts. Kramer and will
kinson. principal of the senior and
junior high schools and members of
the high school faculties who are
the board of faculty advisers. DR..
John ]. Tigert, federal commissions n
of education, gave his views on the
function and place of athletics in a
public school system.
The Objectionable features Of inter-
high school contests, II was pointed
out in a statement issued by the
board OF principals, must be elimi-
mated by limiting the number of con-
tests by strict regulation and by the
school assuming the responsibility OF
careful personal supervision on the
part Of school officials charged with
such supervision.
True Sportsmanskfp.
There must be maintained in the
student body and those directly In
control of athletics" the statement
said, "a spirit which places the quail
tiles Of courtesy and true sportsman
ship above the mere desire to win.
The school must assume a larger
responsibility for extending the bene-
fits of physical training to every
pupil In the student body. To this end
II Is the intention Of the school au-
thorities to increase the corps OF
physical training instructors and to
charge these Instructors with the un-
dertaking of a program of mass ath-
letics which shall involve as nearly
as possible every student in our high
schools The teams engaged In inter
high school competition must be de-
veloped as the natural outgrowth of
a course of instruction which shall
represent participation by groups
more nearly representing the aver

Expect to Issue
100000 Auto
Tags in District

Before the year 1928 closes 1o0,-
600 automobile tags will be sold,
Wade H. Coombs. superintendent
of licenses. predicted today.
Already Mr.. Coombs has issued
1920 more tags than had been
called for at this time last year.
To date this year $1,000 metal
number plates have been distribut-
ed On the same date last year the
number was 4S,800.
Tags are now being sold at the
rate of 800 day, and the superin-
tendent believes that as the mer-
curry goes up, bringing with II
desire to get out in the open. the
daily average of new cars will in
crease.
OF course. this does not mean
that there are $1,000 licensed auto
mobiles in Washington. because a
large number of machines change
hands several times q year. and
each new owner must obtain tags.

LOCAL ELKS BAND SCORES
BIG HIT At FREEHOLD

Under the leadership of Willus
RQwne, of Freehold, the Perth Am
1yby band made a big hit at the
Freehold lodge birthday celebra-
ton last night. All this week the
Freehold lodge is celebrating its
twenty-fifth birthday.
Last night was known as Perth
Amboy and Long Branch night, and
both cities were well represented.
The feature of last nights program
was the band concert given by the
band representing Lodge 1874 of this
city. The Amboy band was accom-
panied by a great many other mem
bers of 7S4 and their families.
The program arranged by the
general chairman Of the Freehold

each of the lodges of different towns
in this county and Monmouth county
and also for various officers of the

For even in the smallest mine village
there were women and children.
They could not work in the mines.
But they could work.
Today in this one county of Lu-
zerne alone there are more than
100 silk textile mills, working more
than $4,000 employees. The great
majority are women and girls, the
proportion probably following the
percentages at the Duplan plant
here where women and girls number
1888 as against sos men and boys.
Lace Made, Too
To meet shortages in twisted
threads a big throwing mill has been
developed at Dorrancetown. This
mill operates night and day, in three
eight-hour shifts for men and boys
and two Z IL hour shifts for girls.
In Wilkes-Barre lace making has
been emphasized and that town
now has the biggest mill in the
country producing lace curtains

CARTERET, July 1.-THE politi-

the past few days. The ladies' Re-
publican organization, of Upper Car
teret, recently organized with Mrs.
Frank Andres, wife of the council
man as chairman is already making
preliminary plans for the fall cam
paign. The club is to meet on Fri
day night and discuss the various
means and ways of the Republican
party in connection with the forth
coming election.
The formation of the ladies or
ganizotion of the Republican party
is said to have added another strong
hold to that body. Both Republi-
can clubs of the borough are expect
ed to lead an intense campaign for
the reelection of Councilman Frank
Andres and the election of Frank
Bareford as the other Republican
member of the administration. Coun-
Gilman Clarence T. Slugg, it is said,

As on several previous occasions,
George Fitzmaurice shared the
honors of direction in his latest
Paramount Production 1.-THE Man
From Home, with his wife, Ouida
Bergere, who made the screen
adaptation of the famous Booth
Harrington novel. The picture is
due for screening at the Crescent
Theatre, today and tomorrow.
Mrs. Fitzmaurice accompanied
her husband, when the company
went to Italy to film the exteriors
of the new picture. During the first
week of their stay in Rome, Wor.;
was held VI by the Fesciti riots and
later on by a spell of bad weather.
"Fftz.", however, was determined
to get his picture finished within
the scheduled time, so to make up
for the lost hours of sunshine,
double the usual amount of work
had to be crammed into a single
day.
Thus 1t happened that while the
director himself was occupied with
group Of actors on location, his
wife was directing a second unit
with another camera in action in a
different part of the town or some
times ever at a stones throw from
her husbands own particular set
up"
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzmaurice make it
a practice every evening of going
over the Genes together which are
to be shot on the following day.
There is. in fact, so complete an
understanding and harmony in
the completed production 1t would
be impossible for anybody to dis
tinguish which scenes have been
directed by George Fitzmaurice and
which by his best partner, Ouida
Bergere.
