Large Crowd Expected at
Community League Enter
talnment at Hiqh School

Tonight in the high school audi
forum Miss Ruth Draper, interna-
tionally known for her original
character sketches, will entertain at
n second of a series of entertain
ments and lectures being auspiced
under the direction of the Commu-
nifty Entertainment League. In New
York City her Sunday nights have
become an institution and in spite of
continually heightened engagements,
her houses r always sold in ad-
vance. Such attendance is given only
to artists who have won and held
public popularity.
Miss Draper succeeds in a great
deal more than characterization.
While she acts, the stage Is almost
physically peopled with those others
with whom her characters are en-
gagged. In these sketches she gives
not only the characters she means
to express, but their surrounding
atmosphere and in some cases even
their past.
Miss Diapers program for this
evening is as follows:
"a German Governess'
"A Quiet Morning in Bed
"A Glass in Greek Poise"
Three Breakfasts"
The First-In a Suburb
After fifteen years-In the City
After forty years-On a Farm
"At an Art Exhibition"
"In a Railway Station on the West
ern Plains
Tickets may be procured for this
evenings performance at the door.

WILL-PUBLISH BIBLE
AS CONTINUED STORY

TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. S.-A test OF
more than a year having proven the
popularity of publishing the New
Testament in serial form as a week.
Iy feature, The Topeka State Jour
nal, among the few If not the first
neWspape in the United States to
attempt such an innovation, has an
nounced its plan to continue the ser
les by printing the entire Bible in a
CONTINUED story" form.
The compilation has been prepar-
ed by DIR. Charles M. Sheldon, wide
ly known Topeka minister and au-
thor, and editor of the Christian
Herald of New York. 1t was on DIR.
Sheldon's suggestion that the New
Testament serial was started by The
Journal.
The new serial will be known as
1.-THE Everyday Bible" 1t is a con-
densed form. all passages of a con-
troyersial nature or such as might
be considered Objectionable for pub
lie reading being eliminated. The
main historical data and teachings
remain.
"Thls form of the Bible is design
ed for the newspaper reader who
has not the time nor perhaps the
inclination to read the Bible in its
entirety said Arthur J.. Carruth,
Jr., manager of The Journal. at is
really a busy mans Bible, told in in
teresting story form.
1.-THE printing of the New Testa-
ment in serial form has aroused in
terest all over the English speaking
world. We have letters from every
state in the union; from many parts
of Canada, from Australia and from
England. Several British newspap-
ers not only inquired about the sue
cess of the undertaking but indicat-
ed their intention of adopting a like
plan. A number of newspapers in
the United States took UT the serial.
Our publication of the New Tes-
lament will be completed next
month. We have used a newspaper
English version and are convinced
that our readers have taken a ire
mendous interest in the plan"

PECULIAR VOTE IN CITY
IS CASE OF MUCH talk
Continued from page l..

1t has been earned that the word
passed along at many of the polls to
Democratic voters was: Vote for
only one freeholder-Jack Bird.
That hundreds did this was apparent
by the returns. Others in addition
to voting for Bird cut the other
two f%reeholder candidates Kalteis-
sen and Butcher, and voted for
Quakenbush and Dey. The ballots
showed this also when they were
read on Tuesday night.
According to the figures of the
Perth Amboy Evening News, Klein
mer Kalteissen was defeated by j..
Fred Orpen for freehulder by 209
votes. Director William S. Dey and
Freebooter Walter Quakenbush We're
reelected by large margins, but Kali
teissen had a chance to win a place
on the Republican board. Bird re-
ceived 5,066 votes in Perth Amboy,
the largest vote of any man in the
city. If the Democrats who voted
for Bird here had also voted for
Kalteissen instead of cutting him,
Kalteissen would have been elected
by a safe majority. There were l.
$50 persons who voted for Bird who
did not vote for Kalteissen. Possibly
200 Republicans voted for Bird be-
cause he was a Perth Amboy man.
1t is doubtful whether more than
200 Republicans voted for Bird.
Thus there were at least 1,150 DEM
ocrats here who cut Kalteissen.
Even Butcher, a man from Gran
bury, who Is not as we'll known in
this city as the New Brunswick can
didate, Kalteissen, polled a vote here
22O in excess of what Kalteissen
received. Had Kalteissen received
the support from Perth Amboy DEM
ocrats that Butcher did, Kalteissen
would have been-elected in place or
Orpen as the additional 220 votes
here would have meant his election
by eleven votes over Orpen. Orpen's
unofficial majority over Kalteissen
now stands at 2O9.
Many of the tickets were found to
be badly cut. Many Republicans here
cut GoWen and voted for Gebhardt.
In the ASSEMBLY race Smith was cut
by some and Mcclure, the Democra-
tic candidate from South Amboy,
favored.
Although Calvin was cut by some
of the Democrats, Anderson did not
poll as many votes as did Assembly
men Hanson of this city or Hoffman
of South Amboy. Hanson received
1876 more votes than Anderson. An
derson was defeated by 1872 votes.
Had Anderson been able to keep up
with the head of his ticket he would
have secured a victory. Freebooter
Quakenbush polled the biggest vote
of any Republican in the city, Ala.
The in which hundreds of
the local voters cut their ballots this
year forms the basis for some rather
interesting study and after the fig
ures have been gone over it is natur-
al to wonder just what forces We're
at work to cause such a peculiar
vote on the part of so many.
Anderson's defeat is attributed
mainly to his failure to pile up a
big majority in the sixth and first
wards. In the sixth, the heaviest
in the city, he was defeated by 1872
votes. In the first he won by 406
but in the fourth Anderson again
was defeated. this time by fifty
votes.
AS a result of the heavy vote Tues
day there will be three new polling
places established next year.
