DO IT FOR THE ayr

We are sure that the people of Perth Amboy by this time,
fully appreciate the value Of the Y. M. @. A. to this city and
realize the importance of keeping the institution up TO Its full
standard of efficiency. Perth Amboy would indeed be a dismal
place for the young men were the Y. N. G. A. to suddenly close
its doors. With all the activities that are carried on there, not
to mention the dormitories that make such an ideal home for
many who come into the city to find employment, the Y. M. @.
"A. is a civic center of the first Importance. There is no insi-
tuition more worthy Of support.
Tonight the campaign opens for memberships. This has
come to be an annual affair. Many of the memberships expire
at this time of year and there are many persons who have come
into the city, but who have never found the opportunity to join
the association. For the purpose Of getting the old members
signed up for another year and, at the same time, to add to the
membership list those who have not yet Joined, the workers go
forth for one week of intensive campaigning.
Get ready for them, therefore, and whether you have been
able to find the time to make full use Of the facilities o. the Y.
M. G. A. or not during the past year, have your money ready for
the sake of the city and the young men Of the community, If
for no other reason. IF you have not been a member this is the
time to make up your mind to join. We know of no invest
ment where the returns are greater for the money.
Perth Amboy has abundant reason to feel proud OF her
Y. M. G. A. 1t is second to none in New Jersey no matter in
what way you compare 1t. It is an institution that is a credit
to the city and a matter of pride for its members. Knowing so
well what the Y. M. C. A. stands for in this community 1t ought
to enroll the largest membership in its history during the COM
ing week.

FOR A TWO-CENT PIECE

The suggestion that the government authorize the coin
age of a two cent piece bearing the profile of Theodore Roose-
welt has much merit. In the first place a two cent piece is badly
needed by the public at the present time. Newspapers all over
this section of the country are, almost without exception, two
cents a copy. Then there are the war taxes Of two or three
cents to be paid on various articles. In New Jersey with the
present zone system for trolley riding, the fare is two cents a
mile after the first mile, which is three cents. In many places
the fare is seYen cents, two cents more than a nickel. In fact,
there are oil kinds of demands for two cents in change.
Atpresent it is necessary to have two pennies, but the de-
mand for this smallest Of American coins is so great that it is
not always possible to have this change and the minis are not
able to turn the coppers out fast enough. A two cent piece
would be a great convenience. AT present there is no coin be-
tween the penny and the nickel.
Nothing could be more fitting than that the new coin
should bear the profile Of Theodore Roosevelt. Next to Abra-
ham Lincoln he is perhaps the greatest American and as Lin.
coin is honored by having his image stamped on the penny, so
Roosevelt would be honored by having his likeness on the coin
that would come next, the two cent piece.
For the convenience Of the public 1t Is to be hoped that
the treasury department will decide to place a two cent piece
bearing the likeness Of Theodore Roosevelt in circulation be-
fore very long.

Let us have peace!

Close to a year has passed since the armistice was signed
almost a year since the world went on its knees with glad
thankfulness in the belief that the last Of all wars was done.
No more strife, no more ~bloodshed, no more mothers
weeping for their sons-the last warl II

shall make possible international misunderstanding, that
shall protect the weak, that shall restrain those greedy in their

so in our enthusiasm after the last shot was fired.
And what have we today? The League of Nations formu-

And pending ratification internal unrest and civil strife
In every one of the countries that was at war.
Italy, who held the Hun from sweeping over southern
Europe and over Africa, is confronted with a dissolved par
lament, its members challenging each other to duels after they
had broken each others noses with their fists.
Any why? Because Italy wants Fiume, believes she is
entitled to Fiume, while apparently, Fiume doesn't want Italy.
u Annunzio. that amazing poet who knows how to WELD q
sword as effectively as a pen, has taken Fiume. And, while he
holds the Adriatic city by sheer force of personality, Rome
herself seethes with turmoil and goes back to martial law.
And again why? Why this internal upheaval in Italy?
Because nations are like people. Because Italy, anxiously
waiting for the surety that only the ratification of the peace
treaty can bring, has let her nerves get the best of her. Be-
cause she needs help and understanding in the solving of her
problems-such insurance as only the concerted strength of
a League Of Nations can give.

Satan, we're told. finds work for
idle hands to do.
Unquestionably-but his majesty
doesn't neglect the man who is work
ing to the limit of endurance-nor
| the m
And it's a question which falls far
thest-the idle woman of the busy
man when the rash comes
Now this isn't a brief for either idle
ness nor work-it's a plea for a rea-
sonable amount of leisure.
! The man who works i~ncessantly Is
just as open to temptation as he who
loafs unduly.
The grind becomes sordid-some-
times sodden, intellectually.
He an think neither clearly nor
consecutively.
Life seems all out of joint to him.
His friends are misjudged and he
makes enemies needlessly.
He judges all others by the stan
dards of industry which he has set
up for himself.
!, The man who takes an afternoon
off to play golf is as bad as a lounge
lizard-in the yes of the grind.
He who has acquired a healthy tan
because of outdoor sports or long
walks over the hills cannit possibly be
earning an honest living-argues the
chronic hustler.
Bitterness, consciousness, crouch
ineSs, come as the result of too close
an application to just the common
tasks of life.
And sometimes these are moro
harmful in their general results than
taking too light-hearted O view of
life.
But there's even a more disastrous
effect of doing nothing but work
the reaction that Is likely to come
leads to the most animalistic of phys
ical pleasures, after leading to depths
which the commonly idle never reach.
The ~chronical1y idle aren't hit so
hard because they're accustomed to
idleness, and so they take life more
leisurely, whereas the grind takes his
pleasures too seriously and too pro-
foundly, just as he takes his work.
The man who hasn't taken a vaca-
ton in twenty years, nor gone TO a
show in a rear, or played in some
other fashion, cannot possibly have
a normal mind nor a natural outlook
upon the problems Of life.
He's either a hard waster or a poor
servant.
Even God rested on the seventh
day" when He created the heavens
and the earth.
And He commanded that all His
creatures should do likewise.
Besides this weekly day of rest, He
provided for q good many extra holi-
days and feast-days.
No doubt the Lord knew what He
was about when He arranged things
so that all men should enjoy some
leisure.

Although the Sun Is in q benefic as
pect, this day is read as unfortunate
by a~strologers, for Mars, Uranus,
Neptune and Jupiter are all adverse.
Wars aftermath will be felt strong
ly at this time, because of some ex-
ira ordinary economic condition that
may develop suddenly, the seers de-
clare.
Uranus is again in a place most
menacing to the peace of mind Of all
classes of workers and danger from
revolutionary propaganda is serious.
1t Is not a fortunate rule for love
affairs or for new friendships, since
the stars are held to encourage de-
ception.
Some unfavorable condition affect
ing oil interests Is presaged by Nep-
tune. This Is not a favorable sway
under which to begin ocean journeys,
and a shipwreck In which celebrated
persons. lose their lives seems to be
indicated.
The sway is an auspicious one for
those who seek positions or employ
ment.
A political appointment or promo
ton from the army, which will not be
popular, is prophesied.
AS the month advances Switzerland
will experience serious troubles and
labor will be affected by the world
wide discomfort, astrologers fortell.
Before November 1, the West In
dies may be the scene of grave dis
turbances.
A new phase of race troubles is pre-
dicted, owing. to a test of great sig
nificance.
Warning is given of the danger at
tending psychic experiments, which
should be especially avoided during
this rule of the planets.
Canada now becomes subject to in
tense unrest and a democrativ move
ments is prognisticated.
Persons whose birtdate 1t is have
the augury of success during the
year, but they should not make chan
ges.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be impulsive and e~rratic, but
these subjects of Libra are usually
very successful.
