The plant develop a | large, thickened root and stem base. | and in the short season—only a few j weeks In length—during which it can . obtain water from the soil. It sup | plies Itself by means of short ten | drils, wiiich then dry up. After that it lies on the desert entirely detached from the soli. It is said that this odd plant can store enough water to last a quarter of a century.—World Wide Magazine. JERSEY STRIKES SEEK! SPREADING Mayor of Elizabeth Gives Sheriff Warning — 1,000 Workers Now Quit. Elizabeth, Sept. 17.—Labor leaders declare that the 1.000 unskilled work el's on strike at six local plants will be Joined bj the mechanics of the same shops. At a meeting of strikers In Lutwin's ' hall it was asserted that the 800 em ployees at the C'eutral railroad shops liad promised to go out. Only half of the total number employed at the rail road shops remained when 250 un skilled laborers Joined the men employ ed in the transfer department who went out. Like the striking employees at the Moore Bros.' foundry and the A. & F. Brown company, the dissatisfied work ers at the Central shops have been or ganized by the Socialist leaders. The Freight Handlers and Transfer Men's union, with a membership of more than 400 shopmen, is a part of the American Federation of Labor. Efforts to spread the strike movement to places outside of Elizabeth were re ported today as having met with suc cess. Five hundred employees of the Wat son-Stillman factory in Roselle an nounced that arrangements had been completed for a walkout unless the company agrees to a 10 per cent raise In wages and an eight hour a day work ing rule. Many foreigners are employed by the Watson-Stillman company, and Ger man sympathizers have urged H strike on the ground that the Roselle factory is working overtime to fill a large war order for presses for cartridge shells for the allies. VOTE FOR Patrick F. Fallon FOR FREEHOLDER South Amboy Man Who Lost by Small Margin Two Years Age, Is Again in the Race for Place on Democratic Ticket. Back in 1867 on the 17th day of March while men all over the English speaking world were parading in honor of St. Patrick, a boy was born tu a family down in Matawan, Monmouth County. When he came into the wofld he brought with him the ri^tsfo bear the name of Fallon. A little later the name, was lëngtïiened to read Patrick l'r. Fallon. Soon the boy began his fight for suc cess. He inclined toward manual labor and became a mason. After working at this line of business he became an engineer of C. R. R. of >f. J. for three years. Then he made a study of bridge and road contracting and be fore he had worked for other men many years he cut loose from the pay roll and began an independent battle as a contractor on his own account. Since then the boy who was born down in Matawan 48'years ago, has fought the good fjght and now he is a big figure down in South Amboy, which has been his home for 30 years and which is now the headquarters of his big contracting operations. Four years ago he decided to run for the Democratic nomination for free holder. It was his first venture in county politics and he lost out. In losing though, he came mighty near to winning. He came so near "that the people who have the most to do with the choosing of candidates gazed on him closely and decided that he looked good an that he'd make good if given a half a chance. So this year he is in the race again. He has already be gun his campaign for a place on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Fallon believes that his experi ence as bridge and load contractor qualifies him for the position as few men are qualified. The Freeholders care for the bridges and roads ,of the county and that's just what he's been doing all his adult life and before that even. The South Amboy candidate sailed on his maiden political trip in county waters four years ago, but his first po litical experience came sonio two years before that, when he maged an inde pendent campaign for the Democratic nomination for alderman at large in South Amboy and corralled the nonii nation, but lost out at the polls tc Ε. E. Haines by 71 votes. In 193 2 he started in the Seeond Ward Aldermanic battle, but pulled out for party reasons in the middle of the fray. It is understood that this evi dence of party devotion put him ii very good with South Amboy Demo crats and that he will pull the solic primary vote of his home town and tha he will" be a very strong candidate or Election Day if he lands the nomina tion. If ho fails to get the nomination, hi told a NEWS reporter recently, he wil nevertheless be in the fight and wil do all he can to aid the man the pec pie shall have chosen in his stead. Mr. Fallon is a member of Eagle 1586, Perth Amboy and Red Men ο Say re ville. (This advt. paid for by P. F. Fallon.] MRS. 0. H. P. BELMONT.

New York, Sept. 17.—Tbe bargaining stage has been reached In the negotla tlons between the Anglo-French mis sion and leading American bankers looking to the establishment of a huge credit in this country for the nilies. The delegation, headed by Haron Read lng, lord chief Justice of England, came here with the idea of borrowing a bil lion dollars. They hare been told that tbey could get half that amount. Bet ter rates of Interest also are asked. No formal proposal has yet been made by either side. For that reason It cannot be said finally that the loan will not total more than $500,000,000 But the American bankers have taken tie stand that it is better to be sure of selling $500.000.000 of bonds, or notes, than to run the risk of failure in trying to distribute twice that amount.

Yesterday the Ditmas had seven phone calls and fourteen inquiries at the box office regarding the public presentation of "Hypocrites," which will be held two weeks from today and tomorrow. Bulls and Bears. The Stock Exchange use of the term 'bear" is with reference to the animals pulling down. The bear pulls down prices; so in the other direction the bull tosses them up. Originally the expres sion was "a bearskin jobber," applied to a person who sold a bearskin before he bad caught his bear. The bearskin jobber was a person who sold stocks which he did not own. Of course he was interested by the fact of his sale to have prices come down aDd schemed to pull them down. In that way he be came called simply a bear without ref erence to the original proverb.—Phila delphia Press. Prevention of the Flight of Birds. To prevent birds from flying without the barbarous and injurious system sometimes of cutting their wings it will be found sufficient to tie together with a thread three or four of the largest feathers of one wing. This de stroys the balance, the wings do not act symmetrically in the air, and flight is rendered impossible. Fowls, pigeons, etc., may be kept within bounds in this simple fashion. Serious Affliction. "Bliggins is always reading up on germs and worrying about his health." "Yes. There's not much hope for him. Germs are bad enough if you get 'em in your system, but they're worse if you get 'em on your mind."—Wash ington Star. Κ PAVLOVSKY BROS. Successors to P.
