The new school is to be an experl-
mental institution, virtually under
control of the department of educa-
tion of the Catholic University. Re

basis of the curriculum. The school
will attempt to carry out under OBJ

Will seek to develop the spiritual ma

TOM AND JERRY

Many an old-timer is recalling the bowl OF Tom and Jerry
that nsed to appear in the center of the bar at the corner
saloon. along about this time of year, back yonder DeIore
Volstead became famous. oe A.
That bowl of Tom and Jerrey was as Symbolic Oh Inc
holiday season as the holly wreath and the Santa Claus ring
inc q hell at the curb. It arrived shortly before Christmas
and seemed always to be filled, though 1t was empued many
times before New Year.
Won't be many more years until no one VIII pc aplet 10
remember the recipe for Tom and Jerry. Customers IN the oa
DAVIS had a hazy notion that it was concoeted from White OF
egg. nutmeg, cinnamon, frosting sugar and the iluld that IS
scheduled to become as scarce as radium and hen teeth.
Another seasonal reminder of the holidays, BACK yondel,
was the half pint Of Kentucky bourbon that the fat and genial
saloonkeeper handed out with the compliments OF the house.
Now and then some one tries to tell us there as mucn
drinking as ever. But we don't notice any Tom and Jerry
lurking in the background. We don't observe any tat and
genial proprietors passing out half pints of mountain dew
We don't see people walking into a liquor shop with an empty
suitcase and walking out with it bullying with quart bottles
as used to be common, stocking up for New Year.
Yes, there are a good many DRINKS these days, that's true.
But do you remember the wild times the rum hounds used to
have on New Year Eve? Old-time newspaper men can recall
when the Grill Room Story was an annual event. Half the
town seemed to be lit up to usher in the new year. All,
we haven't the heart to torture the thirsty with further re-
miniscences. But don't let any one fool you, that there's as
much drinking as ever. Just keep an eye open holiday week,
and you will realize prohibition is no joke.

A. If the joy of reading is not to
be lost forever to the boy, he must
not be compelled to read. A juven-

an understanding of books, in such
q way that they will man to him

June Is, 1777. 1t is in pen and ink
and wash and measures a little more
than II by z inches. 1t is a map of
the Raritan river section OF the east
ern part of New Jersey, from Eliza
beth Town to Perth Amboy on the
east, to Raritan and Somerset court
house on the west; showing the dis
position of the various sections of
the Continental Army in the hills
to the north of Middle Brook and
Bound Brook, and the camp of the
British forces on the Raritan. The
commanders of the American forces
are placed with General Greene's
division on the west, General Dark,
General Wayne, with General Stew
ems division directly north of him,
General Stirling (spelled Sterling on
this map as it frequently is nova
days. and General Lincoln and De
Hasse at the eastern end. The
British army under Howe had en-
deayored at this moment to bring on
a general engagement with Washing
toms troops, but Washington had re-
fused to leave the strong position he
occupied behind the Raritan, and
Howe retired shortly after this to
Amboy, finally e~vacuating New Jer-
sey altogether.
Here is an item not only of in
terest to Jerseymen generally, but
one that particularly appeals to the
lover of Perth Amboy history, a pen
and ink plan made at the time of
the situation as it was in 1777, when
the British and the patriots were
manehvering in this very section of
the state for that advantage which
was to clear New Jersey of the foe
and help to hasten the day when
freedom should dawn upon this
hemisphere.

Christmas Trade

Christmas has its spiritual side, which deserves and receives
attention annually not only in pulpit and press the world over, but
also in the hearts and minds Of millions of believers in the mission
Df the Child who was born amid such depressing surroundings more
than 1900 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
1t has its material side too, for around the celebration of the
great Christian festival there has grown up a custom of sending
greetings and gifts which gives an extraordinary impetus to trade
and to the circulation Of money. Manufacturers, wholesalers, re-
lailers. transportation agencies, telegraph companies, the postoffice
department-al benefit by these outward manifestations of the
Christmas spirit, which thus discharges a most useful function in
the body polite. The cheapest Christmas card or the most
ordinary toy gives employment to various persons all the way from
the factory to the recipient.
These are all signs of national well being which there is no
~ lnsavine. Unemployment, which was so pronounced a feature
W sfhe economic life of the country not so long ago, has evidently
y most entirely disappeared, That the nation is pressing steadily
rward to an era of unexampled prosperity is clearly revealed by
! magnitude Of the volume Of the Christmas trada.

ing the bulbs in the skin at the base
OF every hair, and all over the hui
man body. These muscles are con-
tracted in response to nervous i'm
pulses from the "sympathetic' ner-
Vous system. 1t has always been
thought that only exposure to cold.
or nervous shock could cause goose
flesh, but recent experiments show

half of the body suddenly into pleas

@. When were nails first used?
M. L.
A. There is no date in history
fixing the first use of nails. Up to a
century aga they were still exclusive
ly hand made and even as late as
1850 it was a general custom in this
country for the nail maker with his
forge and anvil to come with the
carpenter to make the nails needed
in the erection of a building. The
first Matchmaking machinery origin
ated in Massachusetts in 1910 to
make cut nails from steel or iron
plates. The use of cut nails is now
| greatly reduced by the introduction
of machinery and wire nails which
came into the United States from
Germany in 1875. 1t was discovered
shortly after their introduction that
they did not have great holding
power. This defect was overcome in
1909 ny Ira 1ppSidHu OF Iillildl'
Mass, who conceived the idea of
coating them with vegetable gum.
the result being to give them even
greater holding power than cut
nails.

EUGENIC IMPROVEMENT

1t may be truly said that eugenic
improvement is attained through the
control of heredity. Again, it is
understood that by heredity is meant
the action of elements which con-
troll the development of the indi-
vidual and determine his constitu-
ton or makeup. The laws of ma
ture which determine this action are
known now far better than ever be-
fore.
There is a rather mistaken idea,
too often loosely accepted by the
public, that eugenic Improvement re-
fers to sex hygiene of the race alone.
Sex hygiene is, of course, a part of
the general consideration to be dealt
with in eugenic improvement, but 1t
is by no means the whole subject.
seems to b unduly mphasizthettette
seems to be unduly emphasized
when the subject of eugenics is
mentioned. In fact, many ignorant
people are opposed to any spread of
knowledge of eugenic improvement
because they regard it as not proper
knowledge FOR boys and girls OF
schoo, age.
1t is a subject which should be
accepted as vital to our homes and
AdtCs T. WoA CCOA0 Va J0alA5 lilSAl
and women show what may be ex-
pected if we rely upon the unin-
formed publicists for information.
BY eugenic improvement is meant
the use of special medical and scien-
tiic knowledge which will aid peo-
pie in the ordinary walks of life to
better and improve their living con-
ditions, themselves and their off
spring. Remember that i..juries
which may be lifelong can be in
1icted on your offspring by I'M
hygienic living. Learn how to Sc
cure and keep, al a priceless heri-
tage to the generation ahead, a
sound body.
Not all shortcomings are inherited,
but lack of germ resistance is, to a
great extent. Eugen:c improvement
is raising the mental, physical and
moral life to the best development
possibly by right living.

Leipsig, Sept. "a. P. by MaiD-
Germany's highest court shows little
mercy for men arraigned before 1t for
treason in the great war. =
Gerhard Strey was recently given a
life sentence for having betrayed his
command in March, 1916. The evil
dence showed that he deserted the
German army and went over to the
French. A short time later concen-
trated French artillery fire against
the entertainments where Strey had
been serving showed that he had re-
vealed all details of the positions to
the enemy.
Strey returned to Germany in 1920,
and was arrested at his home In
Magdeburg and charged with high
treason, which he admitted. His de-
fence was that he was badly treated
by superiors, and could not endure
further military service.
