When do sounds become noisesf
Science was invoked to free Sidney
vine Of the charge Of driving noisy
motorcycle. An audiometer, which
photographs sound waves, recorded
the hubbub created by other noisy ma
chimes whose drivers were not inter-
fered with.
The defense tried TO show that more
disturbing motorcycles passed the same
point, and had photographs to sustain
the contention. 1t lost, but Consider
able interest was attracted by the new
scientific procedure.-London Mail.

VOTERS CAN SPOIL ANY DEAL"

The report persist that a deal has been made between the Re-
publican and Democratic leaders whereby the Democratic vote in
this city will be thrown to the Republican candidates for the Board
Of Freehoders in exchange for Republican votes for the Demo-
cratic city ticket. There are reasons to believe that this is not SO,
yet such things have been done before, and are to be expected.
1t is well known that the Republican freeholders now in con-
troll have a wonderful organization. 1t is bipartisan in its char
acter so that by taking care of Democrats here and there when
plums are to be handed out a very1eatisfactory working arrange
ment can be maintained.
The Democrats have nominated a high class ticket this year for
the Board of Freehoders, and it is doubtful if even the Democratic
organization could handle them should they be elected. AS be-
tween men of their own party whom they cannot handle, and men
of the opposite party who are willing to play the game, practical
politicians of both parties prefer the latter. For that reason there
has always been a suspicion that the Democratic freeholder candi
dates did not have much of a show against the %freeholders cor
ganization.' This, however, is reckoning without considering the.
independent vote. The big registration shows that the voters are
interested this year. They can spoil this plot of the politicians if
shch a plot exists.

A NOTABLE CELEBRATION

A notable historical event is going on in this city. st. Peters
Episcopal church, founded in 1903, is celebrating its two hundred
and twentyffth anniversary. Two other colonial churches have
celebrated their two hundred and twenty-ffth anniversary within
the last year or two. These are Trinity church, New York, and
Christ church, Philadelphia. st. Peters ranks with these ancient
nH;g IS in historical associations.
This celebration that st. Peters church is now having re-
minds us what an old, historic place Perth Amboy is. Dating back
long before the Revolution, this city has a record that starts with
the very beginning of the settlement of this continent. We are so
rich in historical associations that they become commonplace. The
Perth Amboyans of today do not begin to appreciate their heritage.
There is some significance in the fact that the one living thing
that has come down to us through all these years, increasing in
power and influence as time has past, is the church. st. Peters
alone links Perth Amboy of today wththe Perth Amboy of colonial
times. For two hundred and twenty-five years it has been carry
ing on, representing the great moral force in our Christian civil
ization.

YOUR OWN BOSS

The Armour meat packing company tells its $4,000 EN-
ployes they can become silent partners in the business bv
buying preferred stock. This stock will be sold to employs
on the installment plan. 1t will pay guaranteed dividends 6 I
per cent.
Only a few years since the Armour firm was practically
"a closed corporation" That is to say, the Armour family
owned most of it and controlled all Of it.
Observe a straw pointing which way the winds blow.
There's really nothing unusual about the Armour metnc-
Of letting employees buy an interest IN the business. Many
businesses already have the same system in operation.
It's the ideal way to save. The method usually is forsthe
employee to subscribe to pay so much a week, then that amount
is regularly taken from his pay envelope.
The employee with stock in the business is more loyal and
works harder. That's the theory, at any rate, and it averages
true. So it's a definite part Of the "eficiency" movement
You never can tell where such a thing, once started, will
lead. Take a business employing 100000 men. If each Of
them invested $1,000, there's a fund of 100 million dollars.
Quite a fund, that.
Will the day come when employees, by their savings, will
buy a controlling interest, then gradually take over the bust
nesses that employ them? An interesting prospect, decidedly
a possibility.

BY GEORGE Ill. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening NeWs)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2:-Perth

GET ADVICE BEFORE BUYING STOCK

individuals who have money to invest should beware of strang-
es peddlng stock of concerns about which they know nothing.
These statesmen are clever; they have a smooth way of presenting
their proposition and are often even able to produce evidence Of
the reliability of the company or corporation whose stock they
would unload on the public. The proposition looks so rosy as
presented by these glbtongued statesmen that many people "fall'
for what they say without giving the matter the careful consid-
GRAFTON that it deserves.
Persons who are considering investing in stocks and bonds
would do well to consult their banker before buying. All bank of
6cials are glad to accommodate their customers in this way. 1t was
one Of the main topics taken up the convention Of the American
Bankers Association held recently in Atlantic City. If such adj
vice is sought first instead of afterward much money will be saved.
Don't be too hasty in parting with your money or in exchanging
stock you already have for something you know little about.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
Industrial Health

Industrial health as carried out
by the great steel mills of the coun-
try has resulted in great good to the
community as a whole. Father,
mother and the children are rapidly
becoming educated in the means of
prevention, which aid so much in
lessening the expensds of the family
by preventing sickness n disease.
In faG<, it is this concerted action
that is rapidly causing the death rate
to decrease in many of our great in
dustrial centers.
Father gets his help and ~instruc-
ton at the plant. The company
physician, aided by competent as
s%istants and a well equipped hospital
is looking after his welfare at all
times.
The children get their help, in the
schools, by health talks of both the
physician and the visiting nurse.
Mother can u over to the daJ
nursery to receive any aid necessary
for baby's comfort. AT any and all
times the company's visiting nurse is
at the fanlily's disposal.
Service is rendered to all workers
irrespective of whether he has been
injured in the works or has some
disease or ailment. real or imaginary.
So long as he is on the job, the mill
service is his for the asking. 1t
would seem that the family has at
least a far chance to be free from
sickness, under these conditions.
In addition to this. the workers
are carefully protected by all appli-
cants for work undeTgoinga thor
ough physical examination. This
prevents any spread of disease or
contagion.
The real prevention which this in
dustrial health program has brought
about is the lessening in the disease
of the community as a whole. Men
are willing to cooperate and give
their support to something they UNI
derstand by personal contact will
conserve their working power and
aid their family. Industrial health
is a success.

INTELLIGENT

A director Of the United States department of labor employ
>Anent service makes an optimistic report of employment prospects
for the winter. There will be plenty of opportunities for work,
he hectares, and we hope that he is right. Especially agreeable
IS his statement that building construction is increasing, whether
or not heis correct in saying that builders have at last come to
the belief that neither labor nor building costs are going to de.
cline" But we are a bit doubtful about the accuracy of his inter-
nretation of the significance of FLOATING employment among
workers who quit their jobs in hope of finding better ones" He
argues that S'the prevalence of this intelligent discomfort is a
good barometer of our prosperity; without a steady demand for
labor, men would not risk quitting their jobs to find new Ones"
The fellow who quit his job because he did not like it without
another in sight or because he was sure he was fitted for some
thing better that he did not know he could get always has been
classified with "Mr. Micawber.' The ambition man is still in de-
rnand, but impotence with idleness and zeal in the performance OF
duties also are still regarded as best proofs that a man is ambitious.

@. Why did the Egyptians use
beetles as settings for jewelry?-
1. C.
A. The scarab, a beetle, was re-
garded in Egypt as a symbol of i'm
mortality, and it vas therefore
placed on mummies as a sign of the
resurrection. 1t was also a symbol
of the sun god, and was widely used
as a talisman by the Egyptians.
Gem stones cut with the markings of
the beetle are also known as scarabs
and were used as talismans.
Q. What is meant by the term
"Manassa Mauler'' as appliedNo
Jack Dempsey?-F.C.F.
A. Jack Dempsey was born in
Manassa, Colo, and "maul' means
a heavy blow, consequently the term
"Manassa Mauler" is not inappro-
pirate for such a prize fighter as
Dempsey.
@. If a house faces directly south
by compass will the sunshine at noon
enter the right angles the year
round?-G.A.S.
A. No; the sun is due south at
local mean noon about the
middle of April, the middle
of June. the first of September and
the latter part of December. About
the middle of February the sun Is
due south about fourteen minutes
after LOCAL mean noon; about the
middle OF May, about four minutes
before local mean noon: the latter
part of July, about six minutes after
local mean noon: and about the first
OF November, about sixteen minutes
before local mean noon.
