Fifty thousand dollars is the esti-
mated loss sustained by Charles
Klotz, owner of four cottages and a
large apartment house which burned
to the ground at Buckeye Lake Tues
day night, despite the attempts made
by the residents to stay the progress
of the fire which started in the unoc-
cupied apartment house. Mr.. Klotz
has been extremely unfortunate at
this popular summer resort; five
years ago he lost five cottages by
fire, a year or so later his beautiful
cottage at Picnic, Point was burned.
He was also a heavy loser in the cy-
clone last year. 1t is probable the
buildings will be rebuilt in the early
spring.

the proposed bill ather O'Boylan,
rector of St. Francis de Sales church,
said: 81 would not care if the bill was

that my people are undergoing. l
believe that they will be better cath-
olics because of the persecution"

Mother Instinct

We hear a lot about mother in
Etinct. 1t is Something which is
supposed to come when the baby is
born and is to prevent the mother
from ever needing any professional
advice about how to care for her
baby, the instinct being supposed to
act whenever needed. Just today
someone said to me, 81 wish a friend
of mine could talk to you, she has
a baby nearly a year old who keeps
them up every night. She is just
a regular 23~-year-old fapper, and
she doesn't know one thing about
how to take are of that baby"
In this case, apparently, the in
stinet was not working.
1t is ridiculous to feel that so
delicate a thing as baby's life and
health can be left to so uncertain
a thing as instinct. Such a print
tive impulse may be sufficient to
keep a mother from letting her
child be left out in the cold insult
ficiently clothed, it may be enough
to keep her from giving it poison
knowingly, or letting it play with
knives, or stand on its head; but
when it comes to a knowledge of
what to feed a baby, instinct has
never proven successful. One
needs knowledge and all one can
get of it,. One can't know too
much about how to rear the baby
and every mother should read
everything she can lay her hands
on that has anything to do with
the subject. It is only those who
are depending on instinct, who feel
1t unnecessary to lay up informa-
ton against the day when they
shall need it..
This very young woman is tor
turing herself, her husband and
the baby by refusing to find out
and correct whatever is the mat
ter with the child; and very likely
wrong feeding, too much (Which
causes indigestion and wakeful-
messy or too little (Which causes

children from their school blew
whistles and sang a school song and
jumped up and down on the bleach
ers.

"our team will take courage when

the end of the quarter"
Soon the whistle had blown and
the teams rested. Then Nancy

One of the most active women in
Perth Amboy today is Mrs. Eliza
beth Oliver. For a number of years
she has been prominent in women's
activities, having been a member for
several years of the Woman's Club
in which she served on various COM
mittees of Importance. AS a mem
Der of the Y. NJ. c. A. auxiliary she
has worked with the other women
for years, being president of that
organization at the present time. In
the recent Y. M. c. A. membership
campaign, just >ended, Mrs. Oliver
was general manager of the wom-
ems division which made such a
wonderful showing by securing al
most 600 members in one week.
Mrs. Oliver was one of the women
instrumental in influencing the Board
of Directors of the Y. M. c. A. to
give to the women of this city the
use of the building on n day each
week. AS a result of the persist
ent requests made upon the "Y" di-
rectors the women and girls car
have on every Wednesday at the as
ISOLATION building that which would
be available every day if there were
a Y. M. C. A. building here.N
Another distinction is held by Mrs.
Oliver. She was the first oma
selected in this city to fill a munich
pal appointive office. Two years ago
she was named a member of the
Board of Education and during her
time on that board has devoted much
time to her work and conscientiously
performed the duties incidental to
that office.
When the women won the privil-
ege to vote, Mrs. Oliver was one or
the first to take advantage of this
newly acquired right of suffrage and
she at once became an active worker.

1t makes us dizzy keeping up with
men who change their minds often.
That is supposed to be a purely
feminine privilege, and here the men
come trespassing on our preserves,
not % say preserved complexion.
This time it is a college professor
who says cosmetics are a waste of
money and advocates the use of pure
water instead.
Some influential gentlemen once
secured an amendment to the con-
stitution by advocating pure water, so
this is no laughing matter. These
advocates of pure water, either IN
ternal or external, are to be treated
with respect, for they have power.
The professor says that the use of
creams and such is all nonsense, and
whatever beneficial effect we gain
from messages can be obtained by
the use of water, which is cheaper.
american women annually spend
millions of dollars for these so-called
beautifers," he deplores. "The skin
absorbs outside agents only to negli-
gible extent, and it is absurd to
think that clay or cream will benefit
the face
These are, indeed, terrible tidihgs.
we've spent good money Whlch
should have gone for Emerson's
Essays or Shakespeare Done in
Calf, for beauty clay and geranium
cream, under the impression that we
were helping to make the world a
brighter place in which to live.
Somebody's always taking the JOY
out of life. The last time our fav-
orite massage lady smeared a green
clay over our none-too-pulchritudi-
nous features we felt that the plastic
arts were a trife inadequate. 1t
takes a professor to show things up
for what they are.
