The correct flame is blue. If the flame h 1 is white or yellow, the mixture of gas and air entering the burner H 2 is imperfect. This can be remedied by adjusting the air shutter ^ | an the mixing tube, or, tin extreme eases, by adjusting the size of >C j the gaa orifice. { \ A yellow flame is wasteful. Furthermore, it deposits soot at u the bottom of pots and pans. If you have a coil-type water heatJ er, see that the coils are kept free from soot by brushing them at ■ ^ | frequent intervals. The soot acts as an insulator, and considerably j more gas is required to get hot water than when the coils are H J clean. & Of course, with dirty, greasy burners you can not expect to V£ j obtain maximum results from your gaa service.

RECORD SLOWING UP INHIS FIGHT Advantages All to Frelinghuysen in the Final Week Before the Primaries. NEW SUPPORTERS ] President Hibben of Princeton and Thomas A. Edleon lowed Strong Statementa Advocating Senator's Re-election — Rocord'a Regularity la Attacked. Remember the Primaries Are September 26th "Republican voters owe a duty to themselves and to their state on next Tuesday," says Congressman Frank F. Patterson, Jr., campaign manager for Senator Frelinghuysen, in a last word statement, prior to the primaries on the 26th of this month. "That is to vote without fail in the primaries for Senator Frelinghuysen and his progressive and constructive policies against the radical and destructive appeals to prejudice which are the political capital of his opponent, George L. Record. "Mr. Record is not a Republican. During his political career he has been a Democrat, a Republican, j Progressive, a By 11 Mooser, a member of the New Idea party, and one of the founders of the Committee of Forty-eight. He formally left the Republican party when President Harding was nominated and the only intimation that Republicans of New Jersey had that he had returned to it, was when he announced his candidacy for nomination to the United States eenate/' The final week before the primaries found the fight for the Republican nomination for United States senator intensified with dslly additions to the strength of the Incumbent. Senator Frelinghuysen. as George L. Record's candidacy petered out. Mr. Record, although continuing to fire broadsides of questions st his opponent, maintained an obdurate silence on the question ssked him by Edgar A Knapp, of Elizabeth, several weeks ago. Mr. Knapp, who is well In the Republican party and who was for many years a leader in the Progressive wing of the party In New Jersey. In a letter to Mr. Record recently put this question to him : "If Senator Frelinghuysen wins the nomination at the forthcoming Republican primaries fbr the United States •anatorahlp. will you abide by the choice of the people w expressed «M support him for reflection?" Up to date Mr. Record had made no . reply to this letter and had not even acknowledged t's receipt. Commenting on Mr. Record's silence, Mr. Knapp In , a statement said: Record's Silence Interpreted • "Mr. Record's silence can have but ; one meaning, and that Is that he will not support the nominee of the 1 Republican party for United States

1 senatorshlp unless that nominee hap- _ . pens to be himself. It apparently Is - ' justification for the many doubts that ; have been cast on Mr. Record's title to ! Republicanism which have arisen In , the course of his variegated political career — a career that has caused him ' some half dozen times to unsuccess- ) fully seek election at the hands pf . New Jersey voters under three party emblems." ' As the campaign waxed, additions to > the ranks of Frelinghuysen supporters , were reported daily, the most dlstln- ' gulshed of whom were Dr. David Grler 2 Hibben. president of Princeton Unlver- > slty, and Thomas A, Edison. Mr. Edison, who had expressed a de- , sire some time ago to make an expresI slon that would evidence his approval I ns a citizen of New Jersey fdr the * course which Senator Frelinghuysen j has pursued In the eenate, wrote brlef- | ly and to the point. His statement ' follows : | "I beHeve It to be to the best lnter- ■ ests of all the people In New Jersey L to have Joseph 8. Frelinghuysen rej turned to the senate." » Dr. Hlbben'a Statement j President Hibben In a statement adI vocatlng the nomination of Senator £ Frelinghuysen characterized him as s I "representative who had proven his ! unquestioned Integrity and devotion to L the highest welfare of the country." 1 Dr. Hibbfcois statement follows: » "I em very glad to state my opln2 Ion concerning the claims of Senator I Frelinghuysen upon (he people of New f Jersey for re-election to the United ■ States Senate. During the most trying I period of our history he has proved. In f his official capacity as representative ■ of the State of New Jersey, his un- ! questioned integrity and devotion to I the highest welfare of our country. I "While we are still confronted by r the serious problems growing out of the 5 war and the after-war conditions, a I man of Senator Frellnghuysen's ablllf ty, character and patriotic devotion ■ should be retained as a member of the 1 United States 8enate. C "I have heard that some of the ReI publican leaders Ih the state have 5 rather complained that Senator Frej Unghuysen has not given as much time I and attention to hie own candidacy in ? New Jersey as they would have ■ wished. ■ "The fact that Benator FrellnghuyS sea Is more concerned with his duties * in Washington than with his own political future Is the strongest recom- | mendatlon of the character of the man Jo the people of New Jersey." it

He spoke of the breaks that had occurred on the Wildwood boulevard during the last two weeks and asked permission to have bills sent to the miscreants who did this damage- Mr- .Norton took up the matter at this point and made a i motion that the clerk send bills for i renairs to Coney's X-press for damr age done by one of their trucks to the » lights at the Holly Beach Bridge. He , also told of the Loeffler truck which . crashed thru the fence on the boulevard tearing out four sections of the fence.

He added to his motion that all the bills for these e repairs be sent to the people respony. sible for the damage. The motion was adopted. . Mr. Pfeiffer now spoke of the matter when someone had deliberately broken all the lights at the entrance of the Sea Isle City road and said that 0 something should be done to make n this party pay for his damage. Clerk 8 Fitch, who is also Mayor of Sea Isle, n said that the matter was being investigated and that they believed the car bearing the party who had done this rt damage was from a little town out- .. side of Patterson and that the County Prosecutor was working on this J* case at this time. Mr. Norton on the Finance CommitP-

report brought ud the matter of a v bill for inspection on the Stone C bridge work- After some e discussion by various members of the a board it was agreed that the man had a employed by the County and should be paid by the county. T .Road Supervisor Loper now stated a that the state wanted to borrow the f scarifier and a motion was E made and passed advising this loan p with certain provisions. Mr. Loper C now spoke about the old Oak tree Schellenger's Corner. This old tree is p landmark of the County and is said s be two hundred years old. It has T died out, however, and is now in a ; rotten state and should be cut down- p It was a question at the meeting, J however, as- to whether it stood on v County or private property and the r matter was finally referred td^Free- a 1 holder Swain for investigation. Adjournment for lunch was now in J order and the meeting did not recon- 1 until after two o'clock. DirecFoster now referred back to roads • ! and Mr. Norton brought up the need » ' of two more carloads of gravel to finish putting Park Boulevard in good ' ' condition.
