Editorial Opinion
LEAP YEAR NONSENSE.

Manhattan Union
1t was scarcely to be assumed that
the old-time fancy about leap year af-
fording a special opportunity to un-
married women TO take the initiative
in matrimonial affairs would be taken
seriously by anyone in this twentieth
century and in this present year 1912.
But it appears that at least one New
York newspaper man thought it worth
while to interview some woman on
the subject, and he selected Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst. He got his inter-
view all right, and Miss Pankhurst's
remarks Will find very general re-
sponse among the Independent, self
contained and self-respecting young
women of America. 'Is leap year Of
any use to me2" she repeated, and an
swered Indignantly "Of course notl
The idea of proposing to a man never
entered my head / have other and
more important things to think OF.
You ask me a silly and personal ques-
tion. The only people who think any
thing of leap year and the chance of
girls taking the initiative and making
proposals of marriage are men. Wo-
men don't think of such things for a
minute" That settles it, and if there
is any proposing to be done the men

FIVE years that the state will have spent during the
ten years succeeding the passage of the Freling-
huysen auto bill more than $25,000000 for repairs
alone.
1t is evident that the roads of New Jersey have
not been constructed so as TO stand the strain of
automobile use, and as the commissioner says new
methods of road building must be adopted.
1t is to be hoped that the construction of the
DUPONT road will be an Improvement on that of
the New Jersey roads, and it is believed that it
will be.
The DUPONT road will be used extensively by
the drivers of automobiles and consideration Of
the cost of upkeep will be a vital point to the
people of the state.

SUNLIGHT AND HEALTH.

CUNLIGHT and fresh air have been preached as
~ the gospel of health but noted London spec
ialist declares that Americans have too much sun
light. Light on the unprotected white skin irri-
tates the nerves, he says, and he explains the
vous activity of Americans, which sometimes
suits in neurasthenia on the assumption that they
have too much sunlight.
Not many medical men will agree with him. Most
cases of nervous trouble are found in the cities.
Those who work in city Offices and shun exercise
are usually the victims of nervous troubles, bar
ring hereditary disposition.
Many a man who does much work in cities and
preserves his health attributes his good physical
and mental condition to the fact that he gets
plenty of sunlight in his suburban home or in some
form of athletic sport or recreation.
The man who labors on the farm is seldom af-
fcted with neurasthenia, despite the fact that he
may not be careful eater. At any rate it is not
often hard work that causes nervous break
down Overwork, of course, irritates the nerves
but how many men in professional or business
pursuits really overworR? Nervous troubles sell
dom afict the men who work hard at physical or
mental labor either, if they obey the commonest
precepts of right living.

basketball were confined to his home
court. When Sayreville became en-
tangled in county league affairs last
season and wanted to add mere
strength to her squad, it was decided
to get Harold Phair, the South River
boy, who quit his home town aggre-
cation. The action, it was reported
was against the ruling of the Sayre-
vile A. A., which said hat no out
of town men should play on the S. A.
A. teams. After an argument 1t was
decided to allow Phair to play.
Fisher, believing the action I'M
fair, declined to play any more and
since then has been inactive. Every
club In these parts would no doubt
offer Fisher a position, If they
thought there was any chance of his
accepting it. Dug" is a credit to

ity.

One little burg across the river
which is up county way and which
is mighty important on the county's
basketball map is the town of Sayre-
Vile. There will be more doing in
~Sayreville this season than there has
been in many years heretofore. One
of the most important changes of the
season In .~Sayreville is the playing
space. Instead of using Fishers
hall, the Sayreville players will here
after camp on Allgair's court. This
space Is believed to class with South
Rivers court in size and is supposed
to excel the Riverites' court, since
it is enclosed. Heat and light will
be had in the hall when the Sayre-
Vile team plays basketball there
and the visiting teams will no doubt
find 1t, contrary to former visits,
one of the most pleasant travels to be
had.

will play with the SayreVille crew Is

sport, not only in Sayreville, but

In football, basketball, and other
sports. While at Sayreville, he has
improved the sport greatly by mere

The 1912-1913 basketball season
in the Auditorium will be inaugural
ed September IA when the Riverside
quintet will meet some fast aggrega-
ton of ball-tossers. 1t Is not prob
able that the team which the "Riv-
les" will oppose will be a local squad.
1t may be the College Settlement
quintet, the crew which won here
against McCreery's bunch in an ex-
ira time period in n of the last
games of the season.
Beginning August IA, basketball
will be played on the spacious court
every Saturday night. Joe-Billott-
Joe will try to bring the fastest
amateur squads of New York and
other cities Boosting fast teams to
oppose the 'Rivies." The object of
the games on the Auditorium court
this season will be closely in line
with the idea adopted the end of last
year when the best of attractions
were booked. This object Is to give
the people who attend the trays at
the we'll known court the best OBJ

ly" Christofferson and Harry Gala
CHER, two st. Anthony baseball play
ers, are among the fastest on rollers
in this city. There are also many
who are lovers of this sport and who
can do some nifty tricks with the
rollers.
Indoor baseball may be played
more this season than last, although
this is improbable because the game
is too tiresome to the spectators. AT
least it seemed that way to the fans
who attended the indoor games last
year. The Marions and the st. An
thongs played the feature games of
the indoor baseball season last
year. Joe" Mullen, the South Riv-
err ball-tosser, Is of the best, If
not the best of players in this sport.
AS a pitcher for an indoor baseball
squad there is no doubt that Joe
Is the king of EN- all in these parts.
He has a slow ball which one can hit
but once out of about nine chances.
1t is due to this fact that the Marions
are anxious, during the winter
months, to have indoor baseball
games. There may be enough inter-
est this season to warrant the play
ing of a series of games between the
~Franklins, St. Anthonys and the
Marions.
Basketball will no doubt be played
nearly every Friday night and it will
only be on the few occasions that
basketball will not be played that

HIGH SCHOOL REJO|CES THAT
MISS FLETCHER WILL REMAIN

Athletics in the high school nearly
suffered a severe blow by the an
nouncement that the Fletcher family
will move to Boston. Miss Ruth B.
Fletcher, a member of the high
school faculty, has done much for
sports in the high school and much
fear was expressed by many because
of her probable leaving the school.
IT Is now certain that Miss Fletcher
will stay here at least this season.
Miss Fletcher started activities In
athletics among the school girls last
term. 1t was the first time in many
years that the fair sex had an oppor-
tunity for physical development
along with the school system and to
say they were most enthusiastic over
the idea, is putting the matter mild.
If Miss Fletcher should leave
sports in the high school among the
girls as 1t is now, the disappointment
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-08-23

to the girls would be too great to
be imagined. 1t is a rare treat to
girls Of high schools which have nc
gymnasiums to be coached and taught
basketball. 1t must also be remem-
bered that the girls formed an 9TH
letio association for themselves and
were getting along nicely last sea
son. This also was under the direc-
ton Of Miss Fletcher. When the
basketball season of the high school
girls rolls around, there will be much
Joy In the camps of the school las
sizes, who have basketball only as a
method of physical development.
The team promises to be much
better than it was last season as 1t
will be the second season for the
girls and with more coaching and
practice, we should have a %represen-
tative quintet which would make
some of the other schools in this vi
cinity blush with shame.
