New York Celebration

NEW YORK, Dec. 31--The wei
come Of 1924 which will be rendered

Ing.
No city that neglects the elements
of health and beauty can hope to
flourish. In this, Perth Amboy is
SHINING most. Were 1t not for some
interesting churches, the splendid Y.
M. C. A. and Y. NJ. II. A. centers,
handsome high school and library,
and a theatre and big store or two,
this city would indeed be a most
dreary and repulsive place to live in.
No efforts ought, therefore. be spar
ed to promptly build a park, play
ground, and unpolluted bathing
beach along the beautiful waterfront
whereby natures blessing may be
duly conferred upon our children
and grown'ups. Historic memorials
should be duly beautified and con-
served. l hereby commend and
heartily support the Evening News
appeal to have the Raritan bridge
appropriately dedicated as me-
mortal TO New Jersey soldiers in the
World War. And while the grade
crossing elimination will improve
the safety of the streets I wonder
why Perth Amboy must tolerate a
railroad station convenient almost
for southern farming village.

GAS A PERFECT FUEL
Correctly Used 1t Gives Complete
Satisfaction.

Gas, rightly used, is the perfect
fuel--the only one that is 100 per
cent fuel. 1t does not have to be
stored or handled; it is kindled in
second: it burns only rs long as
you want it, always under perfect
control, without smoke or SCOT and
leaves no ashes. With gas there is
no waste of fuel, while the fire "gets
going" or is let die out. .
For cooking especially. gas is not
only the most convenient but is the
cheapest fuel. Nobody would think
of going back to coal for cooking
even if it were cheaper. AS mat
ter of fact. tests have shown that
cooking with hard coal at only 81
n ton would cost nearly twice as
much as it would cost to cook with
gas at 81 a thousand TO say nothing
of the inconvenience.
Gas is equally convenient and
economical for much auxiliary house
heating-for the cold room not
warmed by the heating plant-for
bedroom. bathroom or living room
carly in the morning or late at
night, or extra cold days; for chilly
days in spring and fall when steam
or furnace plant is not going.

They were made with three, four, five
and six legs. Different styles show
period influences in the general shape
and design OF these supports.
The spinet desk OF today follows
the general lines of the melodeon-
spinet.
Because the strings were twanged
with crow quills,. or "spines" 1t is
said the name "spinet" developed. An
other definition is that the instrument
was invented by'Spinetti, a'Venetian.
The spinet was used In homes
throughout the continent and England
during the Sixteenth. Seventeenth
and Eighteenth centuries. The Colo
nists brought their spinets with them
to America. Samuel Pepys' diary re-
yenls this interesting historic note con-
cerning the spinet:

QUALITY HAS CHARM
Desired BY All But 1t Is Realized By
Few. y

Quality, which has a charm all its
own, is desired by oil, claimed by
many and realized by few. Quality is
always comparative, therefore varies
according to our standards. 1t rarely
results from accident an its achieved
only through understanding, and by
persistent efforts applied with unwav-
ering fidelity to details. Especially
is this true in the manufacture of fur
niture and home furnishings.
Quality, like virtue, is frequently
its own reward, which accounts for
much that we see about us.
Quality is not found on the bargain
counter. because the demand for it ex-
ceetls the supply.
Those who appreciate quality,
search for It. They seek to buy
they do not have to be Sold.

Blending Odd Pieces.

Much of the furniture was not in
good design. but she could not dis
card it. so as far as possible she had
the pieces in each room stained to

closely harmonious. she attracted the
eye from poor design by the charm Of
good color. She had an oversupply of

playing off the game postponed at
Hightstown on Saturday last at

the home team and kept all the cash
taken in at the game, was their rea-
son for playing off the game at Perth
Amboy to prevent the fans from be-
ing given a chance to e the game
at the grounds where the postpone
ment took place. Why do they not
make an arrangement with the
Hightstown team to honor these tic
kets and charge same to Perth AM

Perth Amboy and would suggest
that a double-header be staged some
