BATHING HERE
IS IMPROVED
Water Free From Dead Fish
and Facilities in General
are Made Better

Let the warm winds of the sum-
mer months do their "durndest,'
the people of this city won't fret, as
the Evening News has beer assured
that better bathing facilities here
will be enjoyed.
Several asons for the better
swimming tails year have been Civ
en- and when the season officially
opens, with the American Legion &C
quatic meet on July 4, the local
beaches are expected to be swarmec
with local people indulging in the
cool briny waters al lalong the water
fronts here.
One of the main reasons for the
foresight on the good season is the
fact that unlike other years the
piles of dead fish that come in with
! the tide and lay on the beach, from
this city as far down as Atlantic
City, cannot be found this season.
In former years these pests would lie
for months on the shores all alone
the coast and send a "fshy" odor
into every city and town bordering
the water fronts.
This delayed swimming and bath
ing until a late month during the
summer, and as this nuisance is not
to be had this year, and the water
locally has been pronounced clearer
than other years, the beaches hero
will be crowded at all times from
now on until the close of the seq
son.
NThen too swimming and bathing
&~setivities usually start during the
first weeks of June, but owing tc
the fact that cold winds and bae
weather has engulfed this sector
lately, and all the schools have not
yet closed, real action Is not expect
ed to start much before July l. al
though some of the local water
rats" took their first dip during the
latter part of March.
Isaac Esberg has rented his stands
at the local beach to Rosner Broth
ers, and they are planning some new
attractions for the opening of the
Aquatic season, while the bathing
houses at Sofield's beach were badly
damaged as q result of the tornado
several weeks ago, have BEEF re-
paired and accommodations for
more bathers are expected to bt
built in a short time.

.Metuchen People See
Boom For Borough

METUcHEN, June 20:-The ac-
ton of the borough council in pass
ing on the first and second readings
the sewer system ordinance and the
coming ordinance has met with sig
nal approval of borough residents,
according to reports reaching the
various members of the borough ad-
ministration. The lack of a
disposal plant in the years past has
handicapped the local realtors to in
terest the better class home jewellers
to the borough and in their opinion
the sewer installation will instantly
revive the building spirit which has
been injected here when definite
steps to get the sewer were taken by
the borough.
William E. Schultz, president of
the Chamt r of Commerce, the civic
body which is credited with being
instrumental in bringing about the
ordinance, declared this morning
that the result of the hope they have
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-20

held for some years has finally been
realized. He complimented the coun-
ell members for their swift and I'M
equivocal approval of the various
suggestions made by the Chamber
of Commerce and laid particular
stress to the wise promotion of the
coming ordinance which also has
been adopted. Mr.. Schultz was pleas
ed with the appointment as n of
the members Of the coming commits
sion and he expressed that he would
serve the interest of the people.
Work on the sewer project is ex-
pected to be on the way as soon
as the ordinance is approved at it's
final reading on July 2, at which
time the necessary funds will also
be appropriated.

1t may be superfluous to ask you
whether you remember George Mel

That was the picture of virile man

love of a rebellious girl.
Now comes Mr. Melford's pr0duc-

the antithesis Of "The Shek" It
tells of a girl who loves a virile man

UNCLE SAM RAPS FAKE
BLUEDERRY BUSINESS
Few Unscrupulous Nurserymen
Accused OF Deceiving Public
By Misleading Advertising

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Hon-
est advertising is to come under the
protection of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture, to Judge
from statement issued from the
secretary's office here. The subject
OF the statement is "Faking the
Burberry Business"
The department tells of sixteen
years successful effort in Washing
ton and at testing plantation at
Whltesbog, N. j., in order to learn
the requirements of the cultivated
blueberry, and to establish it as a
commercial crop. The need for an
acid soil, instead Of for the usual
alkaline soil, is especially state out
of this experience.
Now, protests the department, in
the face of all its care and effort
a few unscrupulous nurserymen
"are taking advantage of the work
that has been done in the domesti-
cation and improvement of the blue
berry to deceive the public by adver-
tising blueberries in a very mislead-
ing manner"
One advertiser is mentioned par.
ticularly He has been using, the
department says, san illustration of
a hybrid blueberry taken from a pub
lication of the department of Agri-
culture issued in 1916. The ilustra-
ton is used in such a way as to
lead the reader to believe that this
firm has for sale blueberries of the
kind shown in the illustration, when
as matter of fact ordinary wild
blue berries Of the kind first trans
planted to a nursery are furnished in
response to the advertisement.

"THE DANGEROUS AGE"
GREAT SCREEN DRAMA

Excellent drama is The Danger
Gus Age" the John NJ. Stahl-First
National attraction which began a
two-day engagement at the Rylan-
der theater today. 1t is a master
piece of realistic portrayal of Amer
lean family life and decidedly one of
the bigger and better" pictures
toward which all producers are
striving.
The audience which attended the
opening performance gave vent to
its approval by applauding vigorously
when the last scene had faded away.
1t was one of the best pictures that
this town had seen in a long time.
The picture contains so many fea-
lures worthy OF favorable comment
that it is difficult to point the
best story, cast, direction, photog-
raphy, settings - all are superb
Blended into "The Dangerous Age"
they form an irresistible appeal.
We have often read of all star
casts, but we've never seen one which
came nearer earning that appellation
than the one which enacts this pic
ture. 1t consists of such remarkable
actors and actresses as Lewis S.
Stone, Cleo Madison, James Morri-
son, Helen Lynch, Edward Burns,
Myrtle Stedman, Ruth Clifford, Rich
ard Tucker, Lincoln Stedman and

Much credit is also due to Frances
Irerfe Reels, the author, who has sup

WALKER H|GH UP IN HEALTH WORK
Extensive Public Health Ex- tension Program Begun.
 Two Nurses Employed
JASPER BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! I-- AN NT nn


 Walker county has begun public health extension program which will, no doubt, greatly improve health con ditions in this county. Two full time nurses have been employed to work and their expenses will be paid by the local Red Cross chapter and the newly revised Walker County Anti Tuberculosis association. pr. W. K Sharpe of the United States public health service, who was In Jasper last week, was enthusastio over the putting on of the two nurses in Walker, which means, Dr. Sharpe says, much progress and health work in this county. Really Walker will have more than two nurses. Mrs. Miller, the former county nurse, is employed by the DeBardeleben Coal company at Sipsey.
 pr. Sharpe says Walker ranks third in health work among the counties of the United States. He had a chart showing that only two states in the union rank ahead of Alabama In health work, Wisconsin and North Carolina, and Alabama has a chance to forge ahead of those two states by the first of the year, he says. Walker Dr. Sharpe states, ranks first in health work among Alabama coun- ties pr. Sharpe while here was loud in his praise of the work accomplished among the school children of the county with Dr. A. NJ. Waldrop as county health officer.

Mobile To Get Big Shipments Of Nitrate

MOBILE. Ala, Nov. 2s.-tspe- cia1 Leased Wire. .)-Edward A. O'Neal, president of the Alabama farm bureau, in Mobile yesterday, virtually completed plans with shipping interests and city of ficiels whereby the entire com sumption of nitrate by state far mers in the future will come through this port. As a result of the arrangements expected to be completed within the next few weeks, 105,000 tons of nitrates will pass through the port from Chile within the next 12 months, J. Lloyd Abbott, president of the Gulf Coast Produce Exchange, said last night.
 Heretofore, the nItrates for use in this state have come In through the various ports of the gulf. While in the city President ONeal was in conference with Chilean ni- trate agents from New Orleans, officials of the Mobile county farm bureau and members of the city commission. The nitrate agents, according to Mir. O'Neal. were re- captive to the proposition of con centrating the nitrate shipments through this port, and the city of- ficials promised the availability of the city docks.
