There is a lot of sound sense in Alderman Sea man's argument that the street department should not be expected to provide the fire department with horses. Under such a condition the people are being deceived as to the appropriations. When at tlie -beginning of the year a certain amount of money is set aside for the street department and another for the fire department the people have a right to expect that that amount will be devoted to the departments uamed. But if for some reason or other the appropriation for one of the depart raetns is made smaller than necessary with the ex pectation of calling upon another department for part of its equipment, the city government be comes confused and it is hard to tell just exactly how we stand. The street department spends a great deal of money in the purchase of horses, and whenever the fire company needs a new team it is the cus tom to take it froiu the street department and devote the horses to pulling the fire apparatus. Then, within a short time the street department finds itself short a team and more horses are bought. This invariably is charged up to the street department, whereas it should be counted in with the expense of running the tire depart ment. As the city has to maintain horses for the fire department there is 110 reason why the tire depart ment should not receive the money necessary to buy the horses, only let it be charged up where it belongs. There is no reason why the street department should· be forced to surrender its horses to the fire department than that the health board should be forced to turn any of its employes or equipment over to the water department or any other branch of the government to be used exclusively by that committee. It is just such a •mixture as this and confusion in accounts that has brought about the dissatisfaction with the munici pal form of government and has caused so many cities to adopt the government by commission. SOLVING THE DUST NUISANCE. Much interest is at once aroused all over the city, but particularly in the southern section, by the announcement that what is believed to be a real solution to the dust nuisance from th.; factories has been found. Interest is added to the fact that it is a local man who has conceived the idea, and if Thomas Grieve, water commissioner and chief engi neer at the Raritan Copper Works, succeeds in stopping the dust that now comes from the stacks of that plant and settles all over the southern sec ion of the city, he will bring relief to many hard working mothers, make home life more agreeable and enhance the value of property. Mr. Grieve's idea has yet to be put to the test. It may not succeed. It furnishes a hope, however, and is encouraging. Mr. Grieve has doubtless given the mutter a great deal of study and must feel reasonably sure of success or he would not an nounce his plan. By checking the velocity of the gases that go up the stacks he expects to prevent tîie il not particles from being thrown off. Anything sounds good to the people of the south ern section of the city. They have suffered long and not without some fault-finding, which is nat ural. Perth Amboy is a manufacturing city, how ever, and we must contend with a great many things that are disagreeable. Industries we must have and must put up with what goes with them. American cities, it seems, have not advanced as far as some European municipalities in the matter of regulating industries. Over there, we are told, seme cities have a certain section set apart for the factories, which is so loeated that the prevail irg winds carry the smoke, dust and smell away from the city, not over it. If water transportation is needed they dig artificial waterways to the factories. This may be bordering on the ideal, but Perth Aniboy, alone, cannot attempt to reform America. As long as all the other cities here will give the industries all the privileges they want, and are glad to get them, Perth Amboy must be content if she would maintain her position in the industrial world. Hut it is gratifying to know that local indus tries are striving to remedy the greatest nuisances that come from their plants. We are satisfied that they are doing this. The announcement of -Mi·. Grieve shows that they are constantly trying to solve the problems. It is to be hoped that his experiment with the Copper Works dust will be successful. ESPERANTO STENOGRAPHERS WANTED. The -great progress being made by the interna tional language, Esperanto, Is shown by an adver tisement now running in the EVENING NEWS and other newspapers for a stenographer who is thoroughly familiar with that auxiliary language. When an Esperanto class was first established in this city two years ago, it was predicted by Mr. II. W. Fisher, the founder, that before long there would be a demand for teachers for the language and positions would be offered for those familiar with it. The class was told that while the study of Esperanto might seem of little value then, the time was coining when it would be found very useful. The advertisement now running in the EVEN ING NEWS is, in a sense, a fulfillment of this pre diction. This advertisement is for a responsible business man in New York who realizes the ad vantage of Esperanto as a means of communicat ing with people of all nationalities. It is certain that the person who secures the position will be well pleased and have reason to be glad for the time spent in learning Esperanto. This advertisement is published in Perth Amboy because of the publicity this city has received in Esperanto circles. The several articles that have appeared in the EVENING NEWS from time to time have been reproduced in the Esperanto jour nals which have a world-wide circulation. Also the fact that an Esperanto group exists here is set forth in the year book of the Esperantists, to gether with statistics about the city and its many industries. The local Esperanto society is there fore talking Perth Amboy all over the world, and that it is having results is evident from the ad vertisement that is now appearing in our columns. Those who keep in touch with the spread of the language, particularly in Europe, where there are so many different languages in a comparatively small territory, realize the success of Esperanto and know that it has gained more than a perma nent foothold. It has stood the test of time and, unlike other artificial languages, becomes stronger and more popular the more the people become fa miliar with it. One of the most significant indications of the in creasing importance of Esperanto is the fact that at the session of the International Chamber of Commerce recently held in Spain a resolution was adopted recommending the teaching of Esperanto in all commercial schools throughout the world. It is evident that when a big commercial organiza tion of this kind takes notice of the language, it is something more than a passing fad. Perth Amboy has some good Esyperantists and it would be a creditable thing if someone from this city should secure the position that is now offered through our advertising columns. Comment by the Press JERSEY AND THE NATION Not since 17 76 has the state of New Jersey been ii such intimate touch with the very pulse beats of the national government. Of course Jersey has always been a faithful and loyal commonwealth and has In variably been among the first to offer its sons it times of war or need. But now there can not be £ national occurrence of any character that the peoplf of the state are not personally interested in. It all centers about the election of Woodrow Wilson He is a Jerseyman from our own country. He hai surrounded himself to a very large degree by the mei with whom he came in contact while at the head ο the state government. At least they have been his ad visers. First there is Mr. Tumulty. Mr. Tumulty li more than a private secretary. He is a close frieni and advisor who stood by Woodrow Wilson when hi was having troubles of his own at the State House Mr. Tumulty has grown very close to the president'i heart. Then there is Secretary of War Garrison. The ver; thought of war brings to mind that the secretary wai a vice chancellor from the bench of the Chancer] Court. From Prineeton the President hae taken eev eral great scholars and placed them in the nation' field, either at home or abroad. In all the offices and departments, In places of hono and dignity Jersey la represented today as it has neve been before, Jersey is the parent of the administra tlon to a large decree and the state Justly feel· proud —Xraatoa llmM.

LEFT-OVERS MADE INVITING I Smio· Used With Meat·, Flah and Vegetable· Qava Them Appe tising Touch. John call a left-OTera "«tale, flat and unprofitable." Can It be that you have tried giving them to him In their depressing, undisguised state? Of course, haah and croquettes are such familiar masks that they may be said to be no longer effective, but even they may be made alluring to the eye and eatlsfyini to the inner man by the ad dition of a aauce—a really artlstlg sauce. The "Cook Book of Leftover·" (Harper's) has twenty-five different recipe· for sauces In one of Its sevten teen chapters. Some are good for scalloped dishes and omelets, others for vegetables and boiled fish. Each solves a host of problems of how to make over the left· over, so that It will be better than new. There are also general directions for sauce maker·—how quickly or slowly to pour the vinegar and oil when mak ing a French dresaing; Just what la the trick that makes sauces of a de lectable smoothness, etc. Egg Sauce—Here, for Instance, is a novel egg sauce: Place two egg* in rapidly boiling wa ter, cover tightly, remove to cooler part of stove, and let stand six min utes. The whites Bhould be solid and yolks soft. Beat in the soft yolks and add the chopped whites to one cup of white sauce No. 2. Just before serv ing add one teaspoonful chopped para ley. Serve with boiled fish. The white sauc<- referred to is made of the following ingredients: Two ta blespoonfuls butter, two tablespoonful· flour, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, one-eighth teaspoonful white pepper, one cup milk. BEST WAY TO WASH FLANNEL Never Rub Laundry Soap Directly on Material as It Makea It 8tlff. Some one asked directions for wash ing flannels, some time ago, stating that four or five visits to the laundry always spoiled hers. Here 1b my so lution of her difBculty. We all know that great care must be taken In waahlng flannels to pre vent their becoming thick, stiff, and often gummy In texture. I never rub laundry soap directly on flannels, as it cause· them to stiffen almost per ceptlbly, and gummlness Is produced by the soap not being well-rinsed out. Passing from warm suds to cold rins ing water will soon change the softest flannel· tato cloth like heavy felt. The practice of using the auds in which ether clothes have been washed or boiled is not to be recommended. It paya to tike clean, fresh sud* (or flan nel*, and give your attention to them. I collect all flannel articles, blank ets, etc., for a separate washing, and shake and brush them well before putting them In the tub. Hare a clean, hot suds, made with pure white soap and soft water, put these articles In, ■tirrlng well, let them remain until the band can be borne in the water, then lift each garment or article up and down, squeezing and otherwise manipulating it, but rubbing as little as can be avoided, and only on the Soiled places. Squeeze as dry as you can with the hands, or pass through the wringer into a tub of clean water of the same temperature, putting the ■white flannels through a third water, also hot, and blued. Dry as quickly as possible, pulling into shape while yet damp. A little ammonia added to the water in which the flannel* are to be wash ed la excellent to prevent shrinkage. Omelet With etrawberrles. Here Is a delicious luncheon omelet, sweet entre or even dessert, and not as extravagant a* it would have been a month ago. When you find a nice box of ripe atrawberriea on the mar ket Btand flno in flavor and reasonably cheap, lnveit and buy also half a doz en of the freshest eggs. Pick over your berries, saving out about half of the finest solid one*. Cut the*e in half, put Into a bowl and add two large tablespoonfuls of sugar, mixing with a little grated orange peel and a dast of lemon Juice or grape-fruit. Bet in refrigerator while you wash the re malnder of the berries through a fln< sieve, and eweeten well. Make az omelet of the six egge, and wher ready to fold over, fill with the sliced berries drained from all Juice. Tun the omelet out on the dish, dust gen I erouily with powdered sugar an<! • serve at once.
