J. WORKERS “The thrift of the French people attracted the attention of John D. Rockefeller during his recent visit to Europe and formed a subject for considerable public comment by him. Mr. Rockefeller need not have gone to France to find a thrifty people, however, for if he had looked about him in New Jersey in his periodic vls ■ its to the state and hid investigated the condition of. the wage earners here, he would, I believe, have dis covered that New Jersey has outdone France,” said a well known business man of Newark today. “By actual computation the wage earners have to their credit in the state of New Jersey more than $160, 000,000 of which one-half is deposit ed lu the savings banks, and eome thing more than $81,000,000 is in vested in the building and loan as sucmuuus in me state. rne report of the latter class of institutions re cently made by the banking and in surance department of the utate makes one of the most remarkable showings that has been presented for public consideration for a long time. The little state of New Jersey with a few more than 2,100,000 inhabitants . now supports 430 prosperous building and loan associations, having a total membership of 126,513 persons. Dur ing the past year no less than 34 new building and loan associations were formed, adding 10,022 to the former membership. These facts I believe to be one of the most encouraging fea tures of the state reports for the year. This great sum of $60,000,000 is Invested in all manner of business enterprises and is doing as much to increase the population and build up the cities and towns of the state as any other factor in the financial situ ation. This money is creating tens of thousands of homes and by that pro cess is multiplying three and four times the value qf unimproved real estate and is bringing to the state tens of thousands of permanent resi-1 dents whose thrift and enterprise will add greatly to its general prosperity. I “The major portion of this great I sum, probably two-thirds, stands to [/' the credit of the wage earners in the L . metropolitan district of the state comprising the five northern coun ts, al of which are directly connect f 1 with Newark, Jersey City and oth |3t - I centers by the trolley system, v ■ ire than two-thirds of the number ^building and loan associations in <or adjacent to the cities of Pater son, Rutherford, Hackensack, Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Elizabeth and Perth Amboy. The distribution is natural beckuse of the fact that the great majority of wage earners live and wovl$, in thesp cities, nnd~ their investments in homes ere made there. The real estate ntca of this section es homes will be established in this ter ritory next year, and it is reckoned that the total investment will aggre gate nearly fifty million of dollars. “The dues already paid in the building and loan associations are given as approximately $45,700,000, and accumulated profits to date are nearly $1,000,000. The totals show that in the building and loan asso ciations there is represented for the entire state per capita assets at the rate of $40 a head, dues paid in at the rate of $20 a head, and accumu lated profits at the rate of $49. The average assets of the association is shown to be $190,671, the average of dues paid in $106,106, and the av erage accumulated profits $25,360. The pro rata assets for the total i membership of the association is rep resented by $63t, the pro rata dues paid in by $355, and the pro rata of accumulated profits zy $76. No bet ter showing than this can be made by to I^ew Jersey, and, in themselves, offer a sufficient cause for pride.” MENDING WRINKLES. The best method of mending a silk gown Is to use the raveling from the material itself, first of all, because there can be no doubt as to your hav ing the exact shade—which is not apt to be the case even with the most closely matched sewing silk—and secondly because the twist is the same and the stitches do not show, as they will if the stitches are taken with a thread more tightly twisted than the woven fibre. The place should after\vard be pressed with a heavy iron. The iron, of course, should only be warmed, as a hot one would leave an imprint of its shape. Again, raveling of woollen gar ments are the only threads that, will make a darn which can be concealed perfectly, ti’rom the roll of pieces you have take one that will give rav elings eight or ten inches long. If the hole to be darned is very irregu lar or large baste it into as good shape as possible with a fine thread, which may be withdrawn after the work is completed more easily than a i-uai oc uuf uuuiu Uc. A very god plan is to lay a book or piece of pasteboard under the hole, which will enable you to draw the edges together smoothly and flatly. A small piece of pasteboard held un der the rent while darning is as great a help as darning ball to the heel of a stocking, says Woman’s Life. Do not mend a kid glove with sew ing silk, for the silk cuts the kid, and shows the repair more plainly, fine cotton thread will give a much more satisfactory result. If a glove is torn, put a piece of silk of the cor responding shade under the torn part, baste careffflly so as not to reveal the stitches, and then draw up the rent with cotton thread. "A drop of water hollows a stone, not by its power, force, or weight.' hut bv the frequency of its felling”' and this principle underlies all good store jdvgryBiug.^ MINCH AND HILLFRY RUNNING VERY CLOSE Each Hopes to be Elected to the Presidency of.the Slate Senate. TRENTON, Dec. 7Senator Bloomfield H. Minch, of Cumberland county, and Senator Thomas J. Hil lery, of Morris, are still running about even in the race for the presi dency of the senate and each claims that he will win. Senator Hillery is the logical candidate, inasmuch as he was the republican floor leader last winter. He also feels that he is en titled to the honor by reason of the hard work he had to do this summer in the insurance investigation. On the other hand, there is a strong feeling for Senator Minch, on the ground that South Jersey should have substantial recognition from the legislature because all the counties stood pat in the republican ranks last fall and did not drift away to the enemy, as did many of the North Jersey districts, thereby giving the house to the democrats. Arrangements are being completed here for the holding of the caucus of the republican members of the sen ate previous to the recohvenin .T of the legislature on January 8 next. While no date has as yet been definitely fixed, it is expected that the caucus will be held between Christmas and New Year. As was the case last year, It is likely that the caucus will be held in the evening and that the republican clubhouse in this city will be selected as the meeting place. The gathering will probably include a luncheon to the senators and a number of the state officials, wilh several of the New Jersey congressmen as guests of honor. With a democratic house the re publicans have some half a hundred less offices at theij- disposal than usual and on that acocunt there is a more lively demand for the senatorial places. No slate has yet been ar ranged for the minor places, although most of the'tncumbents of the places last winter would like to be renamed for another term. Drum First Musical Instrument.
