Membership Campaign
Plan for Banquet

METUCHEN, Feb. 21.-Another
effort is under way on the part of
the local Chamber of Commerce to
solicit the interest Of the townsfolk
in the civic welfare of the borough
and aid in the upbuilding and bet

and members of the organization are
DESTROYS of augmenting the present
enrolment with the names of the
residents who are interested in the
future welfare OF the town, and an
especial effort is being made to en-
list the support of active workers.
During the three years of the Or

and members have been working on
a program for a better Metuchen

tive workers it is generally felt that
the accomplishment of the organiza-
ton might be greatly increased.
P~artisanship and creed have no
place in the aims of the body, its
sole purpose being to make the town
an attractive place for people to set
tie in a community of homes.
The members of the organization
are giving of their time, labor and
money solely for the benefit of the
entire community in which they live,

future in store for the town.

subject for discussion at the annual
dinner which is to be held in Area
mum Hall, Wednesday night, Febru-
airy %. A number of prominent
business and professional men OF
the town have signified their inten-
ton of partaking in the discussion,
and it is expected that the facts
brought out will play an important
part in the future program of the
organization.
While there has been some sug-
gestion of opposition to a part of the
chambers progressive program, the
members cling to the belief that
their efforts are being directed along
the proper channels, though they
are open to conviction in making
any further revisions of their plans.
Every resident Of the town is in
vited to join during the present
drive, especially those who are OPP
posed to the policies now in force,
the views of the latter being solicit
ed for the good Of the community.

HOMES IN MINIATURE

One of the most interesting features of the mod
ern flower and home-buding shows is the model
houses set in the midst of carefully Handicapped
grounds, the whole being worked out to scale. Some
times the houses the work of the exhibitors Some
times they bought for the purpose, only the
grounds being the product Of the amateur artisan In
such exhibit, school children submitted models
which swept all the prizes and surprising for
their beauty and accuracy.
The building of these models involves more than
the placing of toy houses and bright bits of color
and greenery small board. 1t involves problems
of architectural style with grounds designed to match
1t includes questions of location and proportion, of
convenience and of light and shade 1t the hand
ling of essentials like the garage and the humble
clothes post that they will blend with the scheme
and not deface it. The placing of every tree shrub
and plant has its direct relation to the whole.
Whether for old or young the planning of these
miniature home plots is well worth while They are
most effective stepping stones the ideal of an Amer
lea of beautiful homes. Competitive exhibitions not
only interesting in themselves bit arouse and stim

TRADE DISCOUNT"

Kathleen Norris thinks that lives would be Jap
pier and troubles of all kinds less if human
beings would just allow another trade dis
count-that margin of 10 to 20 per cent from human
perfection which all accustomed to allowing
and having allowed from the gross price in CONNER
cia transactions.
"Give your husband says Mrs. Norris, "and the
children and the school, and the house and the neigh
bors, and for that matter, the government and the
weather, the advantage of that 10 and 20 off. The
only people who do not need it the dead and some
of them do"
1t is pleasant and generous suggestion which
strikes deeper than the comparatively frivolous words
which clothe it. How much happier and better off we
all should be if instead of holding another cruelty
to impossible 100 per cent standard of human per-
fection, allowed the discount before criticized
or ragged doubted
Tolerance, human understanding, 80 and 20 off,
give it to the other fellow first and then if the
manning percentage is not quite sound and satsfac-
tory Most divorces, most family rows, neighbor
hood quarres and national and international disputes
could be avoided if used the practical liber
ality in human relations that accept without ques
tion proper basis for money dealings.

DEVELOPED SENSES

Blind people who see with their finger tips,
cheeks and sense of smell and deaf persons who hear
with the of touch proving the hope that lies
in the development of to take the place of or
supplement another This theory has obtained for
many years. but within the last decade great progress
has been made in practical accomplishments on this
basis
After long and panstaking experiment, Profes-
sor Robert Gault of Northwestern University de-
clares: 'The human system overcome any handi-
cap that is put upon it, The secret is the substitu
tion of one sense or function for another.
In the course of his experiments he and his pupils
have proved that deaf person hear in different
ROOM merely by placing the hand in sound proof box
connected with speaking tube. 1t has been demon
strated that blind person can distinguish cclors,
match not only coors but shades, and distinguish be-
tween patterns woven and printed. This was done
partly by touch partly by sense of SMELL In each
case found that training and practice developed
the faculty rapidly.
These experiments not only offer great hope for
the deaf and blind They point to the possibilities
which lie in the careful development of the full pow
ers of the normal body That contact with the infinite
which man believes to be supernatural may prove
and that before long, to be perfectly natural process
depending only upon the development Of his finite
functions

MARRIED WoMEN'S NAMES

Eventually the Lucy Stone League may have its
way and persuade all married women to retain their
maiden names. So far, however, there is not too much
enthusiasm for the idea outside of the league In the
first place, many men and women fail to see that
woman really loses her identity by taking her hus-
bands name. Neither do they see any detrment TO
the modern woman either socially or politically in that
act.
Another group of persons oppose the retention Of
the maiden because of the confusion it would en-
tail. More than one name in family is cumbersome.
To hyphenate the two names affected.
There is simple enough solution, and one which
many young married women have adopted without
any campaign wild declarations of Independence
That is for Miss Helen Jones to call herself Mrs Helen
Jones Brown after marriage he married ones in any
group of women who have been friends since girhood
commonly referred to by their friends with both
the maiden and married names Married women now
adays nearly always the maiden and married
names in signing checks and feels submerged
or lost as to individuality.
1t is perhaps worth noting that no one who has
personality worth knowing and remembering is ever
forgotten because of change OF name in marriage

as there is no little expense con-
nected with such an undertaking
if it is to be successful. Farmers
are rather reluctant about taking
their best cattle and horses as
well as other live stock to the fair
each year and unless there are in
ducements enough in the way of
good prizes it is difficult to get
them out, and again if too much
of the prize money goes to live
stock it leaves too little for pro-
duce and other departments. A

thought the best at this meeting.
