ON THE MEND

Perth Amboy has been passing through some very trying times.
Nerves r. unstrung. brains are overworked, the body Is neal phys
zeal exhaustion. The creak of a door startles one, a pain or an ache
is taken to have the direst meaning. Wild rumors float readily from
growing as they advance. Altogether, it is a strain that is
car the breaking point.
Because the city has passed through SO much, and because 1t Is
experiencing such distressing times just at present, is exactly the
reason why we should endeavor to remain as calm as possible; refuse
to believe everything we hear, and, above all, refuse to be a party to
passing false reports along.
There is every reason to believe that the worst is over. The ex-
plosion has passed into history. Prior to that catastrophe Perth
Amboy had suffered little as far, as the influenza epidemic was con-
cerned. Other places were counting their cases by the hundreds
while Perth Amboy had merely a score or more. There was reason
to believe that we would escape the worst of the epidemic that was
raging so fercely all about us.
Then came the explosion and the trying thirys six hours when
people were forced to endure the greatest strain that a peaceful com
munity has ever been called upon to endure. The vitality of everyone
was so weakened as a result that the body was in no condition to
resist the ravages of the disease and almost at once the epidemic set
tied upon us overwhelmingly.
But it looks as if things were on the mend. We believe We have
turned the corner and that from now conditions will rapidly grow
better. Business will soon be normal again.
In the meantime, let everyone assist that time to arrive by put
ting aside that panicy feeling and getting back to normal Gvne
again. It is a time for calm heads and cool brains to prevail. The
sooner everyone does his or her part along this line the sooner will
the city be on its feet again.

CALL FOR WILLING HANDS

There is a great need of willing workers In this city at the pres
emit time. Never before has the burden been so heavy and seldom, 1T
would seem, have the laborers been so few. This may only appear
to be the ase a the overwhelming amount of work to be done may
make the number to do it seem comparatively small. But whether
the number of workers is as great a S usual or not, the TACT remains
that there is much more to be done than the present force IS able to
accomplish. ~
wmr Nc Perth Amheys Chapter Of the Red Cross Is DOW taking over
the relief work here; a thorough organization is being perfected ana
there is every reason to believe that the excellent work done under
the direct supervision of the officers of the Atlantic Division VIII De
continued. 1t behooves every woman who believes in Perth Amboy,
however, and who is anxious to uphold the good name OF the city.
to offer to do whatever lies within her power to assist those now IN
charge
Mrs. Peter C. Olsen has the assignment of volunteers with head
quarters at the Board of Trade rooms. 1t ought not to be necessary
to go out in search Of workers to help out at a time like this. Perth
Amboy is filled with public spirited women, who, we are sure, would
need only to know that they are needed in the emergency to have
them respond promptly.
The need is surely here and the local Red Cross can find some
thing for every volunteer to do. 1t is to be hoped that the call fol
assistance viii not be made in vain.

 WILL WORK UPON COUNTY HIGHWAY
Black Canyon Road Will Be Rendezvous for Those Who Aided In Circulation
 of Liquor In Dry State

Prisoners in the county jail, con victed of bootlegging, will be put to work at once on the roads of Marl- copa county.
 The board of supervisors on recom- mendation of Harold Bargman, county engineer, recently announced that county prisoners sentenced to serve time at hard labor would be de- tailed on road work. Judge Stanford in imposing sentence on violators of the liquor law has had this in mind with the result that the cells are crowded with men who will soon form a road camp on the Black Can yon road.
 Engineer Bargman stated yesterday that the short cut to Prescott would be remodeled by prison labor. The improvement work will be under the direction of a road foreman and will be inspected at regular intervals by the county engineer. A deputy sheI- if will be in charge of the camp which will comprise from 10 to 15 men.
 Bargman beliees that in putting this road in shape summer travel will be confined largely to this state, rather than to the coast.
 Every mile of the Black Canyon road to the Yavapai county line will be repaired and with this accomp- lishment it will give the travellers two open roads to the north.

Norma Talmadge at the Hip

Today sees the final screening of the sparkling picture "The Ghosts of. Yes terday' at the Hip, where Norma Tal- madge has been seen in her greatest cinema production. The picture is the last word in smart story well acted and done with a notable cast of screen favorites in support of the star.
 Tomorrow the greatest expose of the past three years is to be screened when Rupert Julian's merciless drama depicting the blood rule of the Mad Dog of Europe "The Kaiser" is started on a four days run.
 This picture opened Sunday in every large city in the United States and Phoenix would have been in the same class had not the makers decreed that it should not be shown anywhere or the opening dates for less than 50 cents top. The fight of the Hip to show it al house prices resulted in the manage ment receiving a long distance cal yesterday from the coast represent atives of the picture submitting to the request for the showing here without a tilt in price.
 This is the dramatic story which tht New York critics pronounced, when re- viewed privately there several days ago, as the picture that makes patriot: out of pacifists.
 It will be viewed privately thi! morning by the leading workers in th' war movements here.

GLASS B AND U LANDS GRANTED
 RIGHT T0 v0TE
Writ of Mandamus Directed to Water Users Associa- ton Is Issued Here By
 Superior Judge Lyman

Granting the 21 owners of class E and C lands the right to vote at the annual election of the Water Users association today, Judge Lyman yes- terday handed down a decision which settles one of the most important legal cases with reference to voting powers in the history of the project.
 The q plaintiffs are but few of the land owners whose names did not ap- pear on the register and the decision will undoubtedly result in owners of lands of like status demanding the right to vote.
 Judge Richard F. Sloan brought his action on the articles of incorporation of the association which gives the own CTS voting privileges irrespective of the classification of lands.
 The Water Users association was represented by Judge H. Kibbey. That the courts judgment dealt solely with the right to vote and not on the dis tribution of water was stated in Judge Lyman's decision.
 Tt is ordered that the writ of man. damus issue directing the Water Users association to place the names of these plaintiffs upon the register so as to eutitle them 10 vote at the Water | sers election tomorrow" he said.
 The judgment implies no right on the part of these shareholders to dis tribution of water, but only that the status of subscribers to share in the association is unchanged notwith- standing the fact that the secretary of the interior has limited the lands to certain persons to whom water should b. distributed from reservoirs

Marquerite Clark at Lamara

In another of what have been termed among the most charming stories ever done in pictures, Marguerite Clark comes to the Lamara today for a three days engagement in "Bab's Matinee Idol, the latest of the famous sub deb stories by Mary Roberts Rinehart, in which this dainty little star has scored the greatest triumph of her wonderfull career. J. Searle Dawley is again the director responsible for the film, which is quite up to the standard set by this inimitable director of the first release of these famous Saturday Evening Post stories. What could be any more charming than a portrayal by Marguerite Clark, one of the dain- tiest stars in filmdom, of young boarding school girl, stage struck to the greatest degree. and madly infatu- ated with a popular matinee idol" Such is the role which Marguerite Clark brings to the Lamara screen this time, and it is freely predicted that the present "sub-deb' story will even prove a bigger hit than it's predeces sors, which in street parlance is going some"
 Burton Holmes appears on the same
