In organdy that you'll adore.

The fact that she has many beaux

Clothes do not always make the
girl, but summer clothes go long
ways toward making them.
The first question to decide be.
fore planning the summer outfit is
whether one s summer is to be spent
in the city or at the resorts. CITY
life calls for entirely different
clothing than resort life, and n
smart seaside resort demands smart
er clothes than q mountain resort.
The City Girls Clothes
The city girl does not go in for
sports clothes very strongly nor
does she need fluffy summary
frocks. Her first need is the lac
quctte suit or the long coat to be
worn over taffeta or crepe street
fr0cks.
Many women prefer the long
coat with separate dresses to the

Society, Clubs Of Imperial Valley
CHILD WELFARE OFFERS VITAL FIELD
or ACTIVITY FOR ALL CLUB WOMEN

Child welfare has come TO be one
of the biggest interests in fedora.
tion work, and almost every won
ans club now has a committee or
department looking after the things
-Aihat affect the well being of child
Scf physically, mentally and moral
ly. Particularly do clubs concern
themselves about legislation in the
interest of children.
just now the state chairman Of
legislation, Mrs. Aaron Schloss, is
asking all clubs to consider Assem-
bly, bill No. ] amending the Juven-
lie Law so that elementary scho0ls
may be established in detention
homes; the bills providing for the
transfer of Whittier State School
from the institutional department
to the department of education; do
mestic relations court bill; senate
bill No. 10, which provides for ad-
ditional years of the university
I course at the southern branch of the
! state university; and the bin for
schools to operate cafetcrias at
cost.
As this is education week, it is
good time to turn thought to these
bills, every one of which is in the
interest Of children. Copies are to
be found in the public library and
those interested may keep in touch
with their progress through the
daily press.
1t is said that certain noted
( lecturer begins his talk by asking,
< - What is the greatest thing in your
community He states that in all
the years of his lecturing only very
rarely has any one made what he
deems the correct answer, namely,
The children. Of the community. -
They will mention any great indus
try that may be in the community,
!. such as mines, oil wells and the like,
and yet in the last analysis, the
child power surely deserves first
place, and it is imperative that we
conserve and protect this power of
our nation merely from a material
standpoint, and how much more if
we also evaluate the social side, -
says one of the child welfare chair
men Of another county.
Imperial county has been gener-
Gus in providing school facilities
and superintendents and principals
have sought out the best teachers
obtainable; but there are problems
here in child labor which arc inter
fering with school attendance and
women 8 clubs can find much to do
that will promote and safeguard
tho boys and girls in their rights to
proper care and environment, as
: well as eduea tional privileges, A
|ykympathetic; understanding attitude
will strengthen the work of school
authorities if nothing more, and it
is an important department of club
federation worthy of the best ef-
fort of the most capable women in
any club.
: With the Rotary club and bust
ness men generally concerning
themselves about boys of adolescent
age and the Y. w. c. A. doing
great work with girls of the same
age, and with the finest co-opera-
lion with all forces working with
and for boys and girls, the women's
clubs can be an important factor in
child welfare.

LATE VOT|NGA At
SOUTH ANBOY
Women, for Some Reason,
Find it Impossible to Get to
Pooling Places Early

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 6.-Con-
trary to the general belief, much in
terest is being manifested at the
polls today. Bright and early poll
teal workers of both parties were
on the scene at the various polls of
the city. The vote this year will be
as heavy as hat of last year, it is
the general belief and last years
numbers compared ~favorably with
that of a Presidential year.
1t is expected, however, that the
bulk of the voting will take place
this afternoon after 4 o'clock. Very
few women voters made their ap-
p~earance at the polls early this
morning. The majority of the votes
cast were those of early morning
workers, who voted on their way to
business. Much interest is being
manifested at the first ward in both
districts. 1t is in this ward that
both parties depend for switching
the complexion of the common
council.
Those in a position to know pre-
dict al exceptionally large women
vote. More women poll workers
were noticed about the city than
men during the morning. These
workers claim it is almost impos-
sible to get the women votes until
well in the afternoon.
More interest than has been shown
during the entire campaign is notic-
ed today in the race for city clerk.
The Democrats feel very confident
that Peter Coakley, the present in
cumbent, will return to his desk for
another term, while the Republican
workers are equally confident that
Councilman G.. Frank Disbrow will
win easily. The more Independent
thinkers are of the opinion that the
race will be a very close one, and
that every vote will bear its indlvid-
ual weight in the matter.
The freebooter and assembly race,
where South Amboy has her own
seeking election, is bringing out
more votes than would be register
ed under ordinary conditions. The
hot campaign of the past two weeks
has made the voters more determin-
ed than ever and the vote registered
for these offices is bound to be ex-
ceptionally large.
All of the candidates have been
busy running here and there, with
hasty whisperings of last minute
happenings. The candidates in every
Instance seem to be laboring under
Il normal nervous strain.
The Mechanicsville voters are be-
ing put to a great inconvenience due
t othe fact that the Hole in the Wall
is closed to vehicle traffic, making
1t necessary to use vehicles to take
them all around the Deep Cut bridge
route to reach the polling place at
Public School No. 8, on Fourth
street. The interest that the Me-
Gainesville people exercise yearly
Is still as keen as ever. The early
morning vote was very large.

METUCHEN, Nov. 6:-With the
close of the political campaign today
a second campaign of a weeks dur
alton will be opened, preparatory to
the special election to be held on
Tuesday, November 10, at which
time the registered voters of the

During this short period of time

poets to conduct a strenuous educa-
tional campaign il. an effort to show
the majority of the residents of the
town that Metuchen's future pro-
gress and development depends on
the results of this referendum.
Large posters advertising the cleo
ton have been provided ~ that civic
body and placed in prominent places
about the town. A special meeting
of the chamber will be held in the
Y. NJ. C. A. auditorium Wednesday

proposed system, will outline tie
scope and capacity of the system.
At this time those opposing the i'm
provement will be given ample op-
portunity to raise questions on the
adequacy of the system.
Assistant Engineer Daniels of the
State Board of Health will also be
present and address the residents of
the town on the necessity of carry
ing this improvement to completion
as a means of protecting health and

SUNDAY SCHOOL
ANNIVERSARY
Presbyterian Sum-
day School Observes 69th
Birthday With Program

JAMESBURG, Nov. 6:-The Pres
byterian church was crowded Sunday
afternoon with members of the Sum-
day school and friends who had join
ed in the celebration of the sixty
ninth anniversary of the Sunday
school. Good singing and an address
by the Rev. Peter K. Emmons, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church
OF Trenton, featured the anniversary.
The Rev. Weaver X. Eubank, pcs
tor of the church where the exer--
clses were held, was chairman of the
session. The orchestra and choir of
the church added their several num-
bers and Mrs. Walter Schreve was
accompanies for the orchestra. The
program in full follows:
Prelude, Sunday school orchestra:
chorus, "Who Will Our Pilot Be-"
Sunday scho0.; invocation, Rev.
Weaver X. Eebank; hymn, Come
With Hearts Rejoicing" congrega-
ion and school; song, Primary De-
partment; anthem, THE Earth is
the Lords" church choir; offertory,
Sunday school orchestra; hymn, 1--WE
Plow the Fields and Scatter" CON
gregation and Sunday school; ad-
dress, Rev. Peter X. Emmons, Tren-
ton; anthem, "Rejoice in the Lord"
church choir; hymn, "How Firm a
Foundation" congregat' 4 and Sun
day school; benediction; postlude.
h Rev. Peter X. Emmons' theme
was reminiscent of the early history
of the Sunday school anniversaries
that were always the occasion for a
friendly horse race between dele
gates on their way. He spoke of the
institution of the Sunday school that
was originally called the ragged
boys school, but that now-a-days
people excuse their absence by the
excuse that their clothes are not
good enough to match their more
favored neighbors
The Sunday school and church
must be a power in the community,
declared the speaker. If the worldly
amusements draw the bigger crowd
why not provide some religious at
traction to compete with the theatre
or whatever is the more powerful.
The Christian of today should be
interested in entertainment of the
better kind, he said. This grade will
attract the biggest crowd and the
church has the opportunity to pro-
vide the show but when those at the
head lack the proper i a how can
we compete with the entertainment
of the lower grade.
1.-THE church and Sunday school
have lost their vision if they do not
take the initiative and the tasks are
the biggest of the hour an should
not be satisfied with being a charity
dispensary and satisfied with the
contribution given weekly. 1t is the
personal work of the members and
not the contributions that counts.

mons, cannot be different from the

She caught Hope by the arm and
