Let us forget the
diamonds for q moment
and consider the word
Bargain"
= g .
Separate the sylla-
bles and you have the
key to the meaning of
the word. Bargain
obviously a transaction
in which gain or profit
is barred.
So when merchants
always advertise bar
gains, they lead you to
infer that the prices
they offer bar them
from making a profit.
This is one sound
reason why you should
be very cautious in ac-
cepting bargain offers.
No merchant can al
ways do business on q
bargain or no profit
basis and continue in
business. It is contrary
to the law of economics
it defies the law Of
common sense.
Now we can get back
to Diamonds-a sub
ject close to us because
we have been dealing in
fine diamonds for more
than half-a-century.

You may have no
ticed, though, that we
never advertise dia-
mond bargains or bar
gains in diamonds.
Yet, when you come
down to cases, we can
give you, we do give
you greater diamond
value than you can OBJ

here's the reason:-
We do the largest
diamond business in

our diamonds direct

CALVIN TO DROP OUT
Says Body Cannot Function
Properly If Politics Enters
Into Organization

Alderman-at-large Richard J..
Calvin today announced that he had
selected the committee of six men
who are to appoint the committee
of 100 citizens to form a civic or
ganization, but would not make their
names public just at this time. 1t is
possible that a meeting of the COM
mittee of twenty-five will be called
next week at which time the names
of the 100 citizens chosen to become
the organization will be submitted
for their consideration.
It is Mr.. Galvin's intention to drop
out of the actual workings of the or
ganization as soon as a president
and other officers have been elected
in order that the organization will
in no way be connected with poll
tics. The alderman holds that the
organization as outlined by him to
the committee of twenty-five can
not function successfully IL politics
are allowed to creep into it's man
agement.
After the names of the committee
of 100 have been submitted to the
committee of twenty-five, they will
be submitted to the Board of Alder
men and then the next move will be
the employing of a secretary to be
paid by the city. There Is consider
able detail work to be completed,
however, before the organization
can begin to function and it is likely
that most of this will be acted upon
at the meeting of the committee OF
twenty-five which will be called
next week.

IMPROVED WATERWAY
Benefit TO THIS PORT

BY next fall, according to unofficial
information obtained today, it is
likely that all large vessels COM
ing to plants in this city and Carteret
will use the Raritan bay route to
this city instead of the present route
up the narrows to New York City.
where the cargo is lightened, after
which the vessel proceeds to the
plant docks and discharges the bal
ance of the cargo.
The above out Of the way and ex-
pensive shipping has been due to the
fact that the channel in the Rari-
tan bay has not been deep enough
to float the large steamers to their
docks here with cargo. For the past
four or five months government
dredges have been at work clearing
the channel of sand and when this
work is completed the channel will
have depth of thirty feet, which
will float all vessels operating in To-
cal waters.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1924-05-15

The dredge for the past two or
three days has been working in the
vicinity of the Great Beds light and
1t is said that as soon as the surplus
accumulation of sand at that point
has been removed the large ships
now sailing to this port via New
York will come up the bay which is a
much shorter route and eliminates
the expensive operation of tightening
the cargo.
Work on the dredging of the sand
is continually going on. Work be-
gins at o'clock Monday morning
and continues for twenty-four hours
day until Saturday at noon. The
sand and mud is sucked up into the
vessel and when load has been OBJ
tanned the dredge, which looks like
a long gray liner. steams to sea and
unloads. This operation removes the
sand and mud from the channel and
eliminates washing back again into
the channel

POLICE HEARING
TO COME SOON
Hansen and Mafmon Case for
Aldermen Before County
Trial, Is Belief

City Attorney David r. Wilentz
has obtained the minutes of the trial
of Patrolmen Louis Hansen and
Lawrence Marmon, which was held
in New Brunswick recently, and it
Is believed charges will be prepared
against the suspended officers for a
hearing before the committee of the
whole of the Board of Aldermen.
i. 1t is the general opinion In this
city that the former bluecoats may
be given their next trial at city hall
and if they are discharged by the
local aldermen, the county charge
against them in connection with al
lowing the violation of the prohibit
ton law and the shaking down" of
a bootleggers will be dropped.
The first trial in the county court
resulted in a disagreement Nv the
jury and another date was set, bur
as there were no other cases set
for the particular week the prosecu-
tors office decided not to call the
jury out for one case. No new date
has been set by the prosecutors
office and it is believed action in
this direction will be held up pend
ing the taking of action by the local
aldermen.
1t has been learned that both
officers have succeeded in obtaining
employment elsewhere, Marmon, at
the United Lead works and Hansen
in driving a bus.
Several years ago an officer was
dropped from the local ranks FOL
lowing a hearing before the mem
-bers of the aldermanic body and In
another case county action against
member of the local police force was
halted when the defendant agreed to
give up his police berth.
The charges against the officers
are of a serious nature and If con-
viction is obtained. jail sentences
may be imposed. it is believed in
county circles. At one time 1t was
indicated that the two officers had
planned to hand in their resignation,
which would, of course, end the
case.
Following the first trial 1t was
rumored that the Patrolmen's Ben
evolent Association of the local de-
partment would no longer support
the suspended officers.
