EYEGLASS SPECIALISTS 255 Urtnguton St Corner Bond Brooklyn EJUVENATION is a problem that has seen progressive solution in different forms and now we note it in the Hamilton Club. For instance, in the statement of income and expense for the year ending March 31st, 1931, the Hamilton Club figures include an item reading thus "Disbursements to Prolong Life of Club 50 Years, $24.75." Curious investigation reveals the fact that these disbursements were for legal expense involved in extending the club charter for a semi-century. The lawyer member of the club performing this vital service evidently did not include the cost of his own time on the theory perhaps that prolongation of the Hamilton Club might have a salutary effect on the longevity of its membership, which would prove a wise investment, indeed. Some waggish member suggested, on reading this item, that Dr.

Voronoff, he of simian gland fame, might also be consulted to prolong the benefits of the fifty-year charter extension among its members, and thus make assurance doubly sure. This member also suggested that in such event, baseballs and bats should be purchased for those Hamilton Club members on whom rejuvenation takes an immediate and mild effect, and in cases where the simian gland procedure has an unusually strong homeopathic effect, special chandeliers might be provided for unusually virile Hamiltonians to climb on to and hang downward from agile toes. Who knows? At any rate, the opinion may be conservatively expressed that this $24.75 investment to preserve for another fifty years the existence of the Hamilton Club is one of the soundest investments made by any Brooklynite or group of Brooklynites in the current year. Somebody once characterized the Hamilton Club as an "oasis of fine old Brooklyn tradition" and in this day and place wherein oases of all sorts abound, this Chesterfieldian gathering-place affords a salutary contrast to the specious sociabilities for which our jazz age will henceforth be noted, we fear. Old Brooklyn, as we have known it, had been made by its fine families and its fine gentlemen in whom traditions of culture and princely business ethics were part of the raiment born.

The Hamilton Club has always been associated with these ideals and idealisms. Insofar as these Hamiltonian ideals will continue to live in the heart of Brooklyn, Brooklyn will continue to live in the hearts of those who cherish things and places worthwhile. HE BROOKLYN MUSEUM announces an exhibition of Modern Industrial and 4 Decorative Art, to be shown from May 1st to July 1st.

THE LINCOLN SAVINGS BANK OF BROOKLYN has always paid the highest rate of interest consistent with the maximum of safety, but owing to the gradual decrease in the earning power of the high grade securities in which Savings Banks are rightly compelled by law to invest their funds, its Board of Trustees at their last meeting has found it expedient and to the best interests of the depositors to declare a dividend of 4 per cent per annum for the quarter ending March 31st, 1931. The Lincoln Savings Bank was founded in 1866 and is one of the oldest Savings Banks in Brooklyn. It has over 100,000 depositors and assets of over $100,000,000.

For the last seventeen years Mr. Charles Froeb has been the president of this bank, which today maintains, besides its main office at 531 Broadway, branches at 12 Graham Avenue and 3022 Church Avenue.

This "Fight" will be a series of army and navy bouts that Colonel Fairservis of the 106th and his chief aide, Major McMullen, are getting up. Mrs.

James J. Sexton and Judge Salvatore Sabbatino are the two chief figures of "Fight heading respectively the Women's Committee and the Men's Committee, with Miss Helen P. McCormick, president of the Big Sisters presiding over all. Mrs. Sexton has already given two teas, both at the "Fight" headquarters, 297 Livingston Street..
