THE CONCERN OF ALL

We would once more urge the citizens to turn out at the mass
meeting in the City Hall tonight when the Board Of Aldermen VIII
endeavor TO get the sentiment of the people on the matter oil a S4VoVo
concentration for the health department next year. AS ms Is SOME
that vitality concerns each individual there IS every reason why
tbere sbould be a large attendance and a general discussion.
Everyone will admit that the health department OF the city mas
beep greatly neglected in the past. We all know that wis have ex-
listed and no attempt has been made TO remedy them largely because
OF the lack of funds.
In these DAYS of modern methods of sanitation, when progress
ive citiesa If giving more and more attention to the safeguarding the
health of their inhabitants. Perth Amboy cannot afford to lag behind.
When w hear what other cities are doing along this line, as we doubt
less will at tonight s meeting, the pride we have in our city, II not the
sense of or own personal safety, may cause Us to change our minds'
if we were inclined to thing that the amount asked for is too much,
and ion heartily in recommending that the appropriation be granted.
The Importance of health to the community has been emphasized
as never before and a trifle over fifty cents apiece for every man,
woman and child in the city, which the appropriation OF $4OOOo would
mean. is small enough to spend in this great cause provided we know
that it is going to be spent intelligenly. Health Officer Wlnsey has
arranged a comprehensive program for the coming year provided the
money is forthcoming and he will probably have something to say
about it tonight.
Every person who is interested in his own welfare and the welfare
of his family, whether he is interested in the welfare of the city as a
whole or not, would do well to make it his business to be present at
this time. In fact, he can hardly afford to be absent.

PLACES FOR THE SOLDIERS

In trying to solve the problem of what to do with the soldiers re-
turning from France, particularly those that are manned or disabled
so that they will be unable to resume their former occupation, the
government would do well to consider the much mooted question of
pensioning the thousands of aged government employees in the various
departments, retiring them on a satisfactory stipend for the remainder
of their days, and giving to the soldiers the places thus made vacant.
We do not mean that the government Offices should be made an
asylum for the crippled and the blind regardless of fitness, thus max
ing conditions worse than they are with the old employees now en-
gagged. A mag should not be employed unless he is capable of filling
the position assigned to him satisfactorily. But there are thousands
of positions under the government that men, even though they may
have some physical defect due to wounds received in battle, could
fill most aeeeptably.
But it would be decidedly unfair to turn out those already hold
ing the positions in order to make room for the men returning from
Europe. These men now serving have given the best that is in them
to the government and it is only fair that they should be suitably
cared for.
Civil service pensions were agitated long before the war and con
gress was beginning to look fayorably upon such action. The young
men coming back from France do not want to retire on a pension vet.
but thousands of the old men in the government employ are DESTROYS
of doing so. Their wages have been so small during their incumbeney
that they cannot afford to retire without the pension. Here the gov
ernment would be doing a double service. 1t is a matter well worth
considering.

FOR A SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

The fund started by the Patrolmens Benevolent Association for
the erection Of a suitable memorial for the soldiers who went from
Perth Amboy to serve in the Great War will doubtless have the hearty
support of The people of the city. 1t is a most worthy cause and re-
fleets credit on those who are backing the movement.
In New York City a similar movement is under way. 1t is pro-
posed there to erect a memorial arch that will stand as a perpetual
reminder of the boys who offered their all in the cause of democracy.
Other cities throughout the nation are taking up the matter and it is
fitting that Perth Amboy should be in line.
Just what kind of a memorial the city will adopt will depend
largely Oh the amount of money secured. If nothing more than a
tablet is placed at some conspicuous place in the city it will be worth
while. But Perth Amboy can do more than that. Everyone should
be glad to contribute in proportion to his or her means, no matter how
-Aull the amount so as to have some part in this noble cause.
Aside from the Washington monument in City Hall Park, the gift
of the Scandnavians of the city, Perth Amboy is entirely devoid CT
anything pertaining to the artistic side of our municipal life, yet near
ly every city of any Importance has its parks and public squares with
their monuments to grace them, their art galleries and museums that
add mitch to the prestige of such places.
Perhaps by the time the memorial fund that has just been started
here has grown large enough to really do something with, the city will
have a real park or public square suitable for the location of a shaft
or arch worthy of the boys in whose honor it is to be erected.
In the meantime, let the contributions to the fund begin. No
doubt the city rs a whole, through the Board of Aldermen, will be
generous in this regard, but unless there is a liberal response on the
part OF the citizens the project will not be the success intended.

Another reason why men get mar
ried is because q parrot cost SIS and
a marriage license costs only 81.
If fifty mirrors tell q woman that
she is homely, and n man tells her
that she is beautiful, h is certain
that the mirrors are all liars.
Men and women both get their rosy
compilations out of a bottle. But the
men take theirs inwardly.
They may a been both the
anne age when they married. But
when Friend Husband is 80, Friend
Wife will be 20.
When a woman sues for divorce
and her picture shows her hugging a
lap dog we always hope that she will
win her suit.
And the cost of living wasn't such
a much in the old days when a family
thought more of paying debts thai 1t
did of keeping up appearances.
The reason why o know you
would give so much to the DOR If
o were a millionaire Is because IL
o had a million you wouldn't give
the poor any more than you are CIV
ing now.
There-are all sorts of people In the
world, including the fellow who
wouldn't know what to do with him
self If he ever got out of debt.
When a fellow gets married he
quits owing the Florist and begins
owing the Grocer.
Women may not be as clever as
men at figuring out other things. But

Today We Celebrate
The FINAL Partition of Poland

1t was just 1913 years ago today that
the last king of Poland, Stanislas H.
resigned his sovereignty, and on the
anne day, Nov. rs, 1895, a treaty was
signed by which Poland's i~ndepend-
ence was wined out and h remain
der of the country was divided be-
tween Russia, Austria and Prussia.
The division as made then-which
/ followed two previous PARTITIONS
effected a distribution of Polish terri
tory as 1t existed up to the beginning
of the war which has just ended.
The last monarch of Poland, which
Is about to realize It's dream of inde-
pendence of owe a Gentry. was Count
Augustus Poniatowski, who was cleo
ted to the throne in 1884 and as
sumed the name of Stanislas III. I'm
Ter this unfortunate sovereign the
country became the theatre of a long
and devastating war. In 1772 EN-
press Catherine of Russia, Joseph II.
''of Austria and Frederick of Prussia
Joined in the first partition of Poland.
In 1898 there was a second division
of Polish Spoils, and In 1875 the last
vestige of free Poland was wiped out
except for the ancient city of Cracow,
with a few miles of adjacent territory,
which was left as a monument to the
nee great and warlike nation. In
1915 Cracow was formed into an in
dependent republic, and so remained
until 1S46, when the Austrian ruler
seized 1T and incorporated it In his
empire.
II Is n curious fact that the three
nations involved In the partition of
Poland are the only ones which have
been disrupted by the present war.
Their rulers are in exile, have abdi-
Gated or have met violent death. On
the other hand Poland, which was
not a united nation when the war
broke out in 1914, Is about to be re-
stored and its people freed from
Russian, Prussian and Austrian DOM

BERTHA M. CLAY.
