Longevity to Tires and Tubes

When tire rims become rusted, rough particles of rust and scale act like sandpaper on the inner tube, which often results in premature blowout due to a worn spot. By coat ing the rim with aluminium paint occasionally this can be prevented.

Care Of the ROdy Finish.

The varnish on an automobile will not stand having dust or mud rub bed off, nor will it endure the grits of dust and mud driven into it by the water blasts from high-pressure hose to which it is often subjected.

The ST.. Mihiei inscription is

The Meuse Argonne service of the

units named have no regimental
colors, and therefore no battle
streamers for the inscriptions to
which. they would be- entitled.
The custom of having battle
streamers attached to the colois
signifying the battles in which mil
itary units had participated dates
back to the Revolution. Formerly
the custom was to have different
streamer for each major engage
ment; but as many regiments ac-
cumulated so many of these vari-
colored pennons, it was decided that
hereafter there should be only one
streamer. on which there should be
emblazoned suitable inscriptions to
denote each battle.

MALANAPHY NOW TALKS

This Afternoon

SOUTH AMBOY, March 21.-
Felix a. Malanaphy, 243 Washington
avenue, this city, who was arrested
on Monday charged with imper-
sonating a federal officer, by federal
prohibition agents, and who was ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner John Delaney of Perth
Amboy and held under $50 bail, en-
phatically denied the charge last
night.
Malanaphy says that on Saturday
night he was on his way home with
Michael Gaynor, who had been a
schoolboy friend OF his at Lambert
Vile. Gaynor had been in company
| with John Marren, tne latter was
anxious to get to his tcme In Jersey
! City, and as the last train had left
! this city, halted al automobile for
/ = lift. AT that time Malanaphy and
| Gaynor had left Marren and when
the car stopped. its occupants tum-
pled out and surrounded Marren.
Malanaphy and Gaynor retraced
their steps, it is claimed, to learn
the cause of the co1nmotion, and
were Immediately arrested by the oc-
cupants of the car and taken to
| Newark. There they were told by
those arresting them that their de-
had been mistaken for Others and
tthey were permitted to go, it is
claimed.
The affair happened at one OF the
most prominent corners of South
Amboy--Augusta street and Stevens
avenue and directly under an cleo
trio light. There were three auto
mobiles, and even three prohibition
agents-fake or real-would have
been fool hearted to stop a like
number Of cars without any infor-
nation as to the occupants, it is
alleged
Malansphy has lived in this city
for the past seven years. His
last in the world to pose as an Of
ficer. and they are much incense
that he should be the innocent VIC
tim of such a charge.
The Evening News has received
the following letter from Mr.. Nd
lanaphy in the case:
Your paper last night carried a
story that the writer was arrested
as a fake prohibition agent and
charged with impersonating a feder-
al officer.
while the news item is correct
and I have been so accused and ar
rested, there is absolutely no foun-
dation for such a charge, and not
particle of truth in the accusation.
Can l ask the favor of your col

among whom many of my friends
are numbered to withhold judgment
until I shave had my opportunity to
meet my accusers and establish my
complete innocence.

SCHOOL BOARD
TOMEET AGAIN
ON BUILDING
Meeting of Board Called for
Tomorrow Night Follow
ing Action of Aldermen
FIGURES ARE QUOTED
Aldermen Likely to Try to
Show That City Has Not
Available Funds

A. Clayton Clark, president of the
school board has called an adjourn
ed meeting of the board for tomor-
row night at o'clock, the new Hall
avenue school likely being the topic
for discussion at this meeting. Real
izing that they could not succeed IN
securing a $450,000 appropriation
from the aldermen for the new
school this year, the Board of Edu-
cation has had the original plans
so changed as to make it possible to
erect the first unit of the school this
year for s250,0O0.
Il Statements by Alderman-at large
icl1ard j. Calvin at the meeting
the Board of School Estimate on
Monday afternoon would indicate
that even $250,000 is not availa bic
Mt this time for the school, he declar-
ing that figures given to him show
that the city is now only about $780,
900 from the debt limit. The alder
men in asking for a supplemental
debt statement Monday night in
Guided $69,500 for improvements
which would be deducted from the
total amount available for all pur-
poses. If this $4,000 should be
spent as proposed and it is found
Mr.. Galvin's estimate of $160000 is
correct it would leave but 100000
available for new school, as far as
can be learned
Realizing that the report which
the Board of School Estimate re

terroon viii probably show that The
$3.50, 900 needed for the new school
is not available, the school COM

what action they will ask at FRI
days meeting.
! The school board contends that
the first unit of the new school
must be built even If other local IN
prcvements such as police call and
fire alarm systems and street, re-
pairs have to be put off for a year
The request of the school board for
sufficient funds to build the Hal
avenue schools has been put off for
several years by each Board OF AL
dermen, President Clark has pointed
out, and in the meantime other
improvements which were not
thought of when the school moneys
were first asked for, have been
completed.
The attitude of the school COM
missioners would indicate that they
are getting tired of holding meet
ing af+ er meeting, numerous confer
ences and securing no end Of opin-
ions withoue being able to get the
money for the new school from the
aldermen.
n Members OF the Board of Alder
en- have different opinions on the
.9ecessity of the new school. Alder
man John J. Clark qualified his
vote in favor of the request flr a

day night by serving notice on the
board that he would not vote for
any improvement which might him

school being made available. THE

WARDS ON TODAY
FreehoIders and Representa-
tives of Three County Hospi-
tails Confer on Plans
WILL NOT BUILD
County Hospital Idea is Given
Up-May Add to Present
Hospitals

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 21.-
Representative of the three largest
hospitals in hte county-Perth Am
boy City Hospital, St. Peters of New
Brunswick and Middlesex General of
New BrunsWick-Imet at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon with the tuberculosis
hospital advisory committee of the
Board of Freeholders for the pur-
pose of considering plans whereby
the tuberculosis patients of this
county might be cared for.
The meeting was called by free
holder Louis j. Belloff and was held
in the county record building, the
suggestion of DIR. Charles /. Silk, Of
Perth Amboy, that tuberculosis
wards be added to the three largest
hospitals in the county in order to
care for the patients, being up for
consideration.
The treeholders, following their
recent hearing held on the subject
of erecting a tuberculosis hospitll
in MiddleseX, have reached the
conclusion that it would be inadvis-
able to build such a structure owing
to the cost-it being estimated that
such a building would cost S2,7OO
per patient.
The lay memberu OF the various
hospital boards have objected in the
past to the suggestion that tuber-
culoss wards be added to the hos
pitfalls in the county DR.. Silk has
declared that such system of car
ing for tuberculosis patients has
been approved by the American
Medical Association and that in
Newark and Jersey City this system
of tuberculosis wards added to the
general hospitals is in operation.
The freeholders are pledged to
favorable action in some way or
form and it seems altogether prob
able that the conference this af-
ternoon will be the means of bring
ing about relief within the county
for tuberculosis patients.
