Women Motorists
Favor Polo Coats

Women motorists have shown a dis
tinct leaning toward polo coats for
spring wear. and their popularity Is
maintained from the fact that they are
serviceable as we'll as attractive. One
Of the newer polo coats which may
be had in either white or light brown
Is half lined with satin OF the same
color. The pockets are very large and
the cuffs exceedingly long. These
coats are made to button up snugly
around the neck so as to exclude all
frigid air. An English tan polo coat
with raglan shoulders is among the
seasons models. This is not very
different from the other styles has
large patch pockets and long roll to
the cuffs.
is very attractive and Is very suitable
for the cold days.

Pacific Coast to
Stage Another Race

The success of the recent Santa
Monica road race has prompted the city
OF Tacoma. Wash. TO stage a similar
event. It is scheduled for July and s.
during the "Montamara festo" In that
city. Four events are planned for the
two days of racing. The course select
ed is Ave miles in circumference. which
means that cars will pass the grand
stand at rapid intervals. Three light
car races will he run July s, the dis
tances being 100. $50, and 200 miles, The
following day the free-for-all event for
big cars will be run, the distance being
$50 miles. The cash prize for the latter
event will be 5000. In addition four
perpetual challenge trophies will be bat
tied for in each event. With such big
prize money the fastest cars and the
greatest drivers in the country will
likely participate.

Watch Brakes.

II car shows a marked tendency to
swing to the side every time the brakes
are applied II is evidence that the
equalizer isnot distributing the pressure
equally to both brake bands. The wheel
that Is gripped more tightly will tend
to hang back, while the others will
travel faster. Thus, IL the rear right
the left brake band did not grip well
the car would tend to swing to the
right. This could be cured on the ad.

Use Care In Retarding
Spark for Self-Starter

No matter what class of engine starter
maybe employed. as much care should
be exercised to retard the spark before
the motor is started as would be used
were the motor to be turned by hand.
rect outcome of the abandonment of
the crank as q starting device, leads
to carelessness on this score. and as a
consequence the motor receives more
than It's share of jars and jolts when
being started.

ONE SIX YEAR TERM,

With the disgraceful manner in
which the President OF the United
States has been dragged into a mud
singing political campaign, unparal-
leled in the history of the country,
still before the people, the agitation
which has been started in Congress
for an amendment TO the constitu-
ton limiting the president to but
one term of six years is welcome,
and 1t is to be hoped thai Il Will
result in such action being taken.
1t has become an established custom
NOW for every MAI elected to the
presidency to expect two terms.
With that end in view every act of
his during the first term Is made
with the idea of reelection. Then,
when the campaign time comes
rs at present, we see the man occu-
plying the greatest elective office In
the world, lowered to the position
of a cheap spellbinder stamping the
various states for votes, something
entirely beneath the dignity of the
Office he helds and a disgrace upon
the whole country.
We admit It Is pretty hard for the
average person to remain silent
when under fire. But a man fit to
be President Of the United States
should be above the average and no
matter what the provooation, he
should think first of all of the great
office he holds and should be willing
to sacrifice himself, II necessary, In
order to maintain its high standard.
Such a course might mean defeat,
but in the end truth will out and
the mar who has been unjustly
abused will be held in all the more
esteem by his fellow countrymen
when they learn that, above
everything else, he kept the office OF
President Of the United States free
from the degrading personalities OF
the political stump.
But there Is still another side to
this question showing why the presi-
dents term should be SIX years. II
il a recognized fact that the bust

feet inside the hallway, one side Of
his head crushed In. He was roughly
dressed in wooden shirt and patched

was the cause of your missing them.

ROOSEVELT AND THE THIRD
DISTRICT.

Colonel Roosevelt will spend two
days in New Jersey campaigning for
the primary election, May %. The
only definite program thus far ar
ranged by the New Jersey Roose-
welt committee provides for meet
ings In the principal cities in the
state. This includes Paterson, New
ark, Jersey City, Trenton, Camden
and Atlantic City. 1t is announced
that IF possible a meeting will be
arranged to be held In the third
congressional district at the most
convenient center, 30 that the col
onel can be heard by the residents
in the counties of Middlesex. Mon
mouth and Ocean. THIS IS WHERE
PERTH AMBOY BECOMES INTER
EsTED.
While 1t cannot be said that any
one city in the district Is convenient
to the residents OF all three counties,
1t is very plain that Perth Amboy
Is not only the largest place in the
district, but as far as transportation
facilities are concerned, 1t is by far
the most convenient to all sections.
In the first place, every town In Mid
dlesex that has Il trolley line is con
nected direct with Perth Amboy
This includes New Brunswick, South
Amboy, South River, sayreville,
Midtown, Metuchen, Highland Park
and Woodbridge. The city Is con-
nected directly by rail with Old
Bridge, S~potswood, Helmetta,
Jamesburg, Cranbury and Roose-
welt. NO OTHER CITY IN THE
DISTRICT CAN SAY THIS.
For Monmouth county, Perth
Amboy has direct trolley connec-
lions with Keyport, Matawan, Red
Bank, Atlantic Highlands and High
lands, Trolley connections car also
be made for Long Branch, Asbury
Park and points along the shore.
BY rail, Perth Amboy Is connected
direct with all towns IN the New
York 5 Long Branch railroad and
with Freehold and Lakewood. NO
OTHER CITY IN THE DISTRICT
CAN SAY THIS.
AS both parties are putting up a
hard fight in the third COMPRESSION
al district, Roosevelt should by all
means come here. and Perth Am
