Trained investors always buy Sc

you can rest assured its marketability

woodbridge Memorial
PLAYGROUND Fund Drive

WOODBRIDGE. Oct S.--A bright
spot in the lives of the children of
Woodbridge is the Gorham L. Boyn-
ton Memorial Playground. Since the
middle of August the play ground
has been in operation and 1t had
brought to the children of Wood
bridge many joys that were hereto
fore unknown. In order to. make the
playground 100 per cent, efficient
and a place of recreation for the old
er people as well as the Riddles,
drive is taking place this week to
raise $4,000. A thousand dollars of
this sum has already been spent for
equipment and another $1,000 will
be used in employing a playground
director at probably $500 per year
and $500 will be spent in upkeep and
repairs.
According to reports received to
date from the solicitors this money is
rapidly being subscribed and 1t is be-
lieved that by next Monday, which Is
the last day of the drive, the sum
needed will have been raised. 1t is
urgent, however, THAI everyone in
Woodbridge who desires to do their
part for the Riddles subscribe to the
fund and so this special appeal has
been made by the playground COM
mittee. for additional contributions.
With the heavy automobile traffic
OF today. and with the rapid rate in
which woodbridge is growing up,
dren for play purposes have become
a thing OF the past. Therefore. the

Democrats Ignore Traditional
Stand for States Rights
After Hot Fifht
CHILD LABOR AGITATION
To Give Congress Right to
Enforce Proposed Consti-
tutional Amendment

TRENTON. Oct. 8.-The Demo-
cratic state convention. ignoring its
traditional stand for states rights,
Yesterday afternoon went on record,
after vigorous fight. to give con-
gress the right enforce the proposed
constitutional amendment to regu-
late child labor nationally.
The convention delegates. all fav-
oring prohibition as we'll as regula-
tion of child labor. split hairs on the
right of congress to say what the
minimum age for employment of
children shall be in the enforcement
act. which will follow in the event
the proposed constitutional amend
ment is ratified by the necessary
26 states.
The proposed federal amendment
would have congress regulate child
labor so that congress could say no
boy or girl shall be employed until
his or her eighteenth birthday.
Charles r. Hardin. a candidate for
the assembly in Essex. and son of
John r. Hardin. Newark lawyer,
proposed that the convention while
favoring abolition of child labor
should instruct its legislative candi-
date to vote for a plan which would
permit employment OF children at
16 years. Mr.. Hardin's proposition
engendered a contest which resulted
in a verbal battle for an hour. Har-
din was assisted by other Essex
assembly candidates. with James r.
Nugent taking guiding hand in
tha discussion when the issues be-
came confusing.
The Hague machine had the neces-
sary votes to adopt the platform.
pledging ratification of the%1s wear
minimum wage employment plan.
The ratification of the constitutional
amendment was voted by the con-
vention bv the tally of AZ in favor
to % opposed.
Mrs. H. M. simmons. of Elizabeth.
favoring the ratification plank. said
New JERSEY would not be committed
unalterably to the IS year age limit.
She declared that the plan proposed
to leave discretion with congress to
make the national enforcement act
8 years II or Is years, as the ma
tional Lawmakers saw fit.

voting down by a close margin of a
resolution urging ratification of the
proposed child labor amendment TO
the federal constitution, as well as
defeat OF another plank TO stop road
grabbing" in the legislature were
leading results in the drafting of the
Republican party's state platform in
convention here yesterday afternoon.
Debate, interspersed with wit and
humor, sparkled for three hours as
the delegates rejected suggestion
after suggestion to the tentative draft
of the platform which Senator Mac
kay, of Bergen county. brought in as
chairman of the committee which
had this task in hand.
The tentative draft announced last
week went through in its original
essence. except that the paragraph
condemning, but not naming. the
Rev. James K. Shields for running as
an independent and trying to disrupt
the Republican party, was stricken
out. The former Anti-Saloon League

Will Help Save Forests.

The Forest Service has just
written to seventeen of the larg-
est tobacco manufacturers of the
United States requesting them to
insert warning cards in every
package Of cigarettes they put
out, cautloning the smokers to
be careful with fire in the woods.
Similar campaigns are being un-
dertaken by various state cham
bers of commerce.
The reason for this is that in
studying the problem of fire pre-
vention. the Forest Service has
been forcibly impressed with the
hazard of forest fires caused bv
thoughtless smokers. Figures
recently compiled covering Ore
gon and Washington show that
% per cent of the fires have been
caused by smokers.
The public. year by year, is
