There has been recent agitation il
favor of establishing a community
building as q memorial to the local
bows who served in the Worlds War.
This would seem to mo an expense 10

keep of the same, whic would not pay

derived by the service men or in ming

such a place, or building, would not

There are already places in the CITY
which are available for community
gatherings and work; namely the T.

spite of the fact that these places are
omen for this work just now they are
not ~patronized except by a very rev.

in order to build UP the tendanc

more appropriate memorial would De
an Athletic Field which could be
| built for q nominal sum by h city IL
self and would at the same time tur-
nish employment for quite q lumber
of people in the city. This Held could
perhaps be located on the Citys prop
erty adjoining the C. K. r. and Kari
Itan River and could be made the first
step toward recovering and improving
this city owned property and would be
thus gradually adding to the assets
of the city instead of letting this val
used and by being washed away by
rain and storms.
/ An Athletic Field would fill u long
felt want in Perth Amboy and would
ait the same time build up the youth
OF the city by good clean healthful re-
creation.
A city of 10000 people should have
~lsomething of this kind for High School
athletics and for good sports of all
kinds. Perth Amboy should have an
Athletic Field where field meets, base

and where its citizens could go anc

Eight hundred children brought be-
fore the juvenile court in this city dur
ing the past year!
Docs that mean anything 70 the av-
erage citizen of Perth Amboy:
Does it mean anything to the city
officials?
Think of It for a minute-eight hun
dred children out Of a population OF
10000 people accused Of some sort OF
crime.
ii Is rather appalling. isn't it?
Doesn't It show that We, as a NUM-

These children, within a few years,
are to be the men II women of Perth
Amboy. To them we must look for
the city Of the future.
What kind Of q future will that be?
Eight hundred children in court IN

Can We consider those figures and
sit complacently by without attempt

Have we become so hardened to
Juvenile crime that these figures mean

/. portonce In business, in industry and
in all the while ignoring the
human side and forgetting entirely
those to whom, later on, is to be en-
trusted the duties and responsible
ties of running the greater city?
Can those who have received nc
consideration at all in their youth and
who have come up to manhood and
w~omanhood through the juvenile
courts be expected to administer the
affairs Of a great metropolis, such a.
we hope Perth Amboy to be, In a way
that we hope to have our public af.
fairs managed?
Can we expect better government as
time goes on with such a state of af-
fairs existing right here among us to-
day?
But what's TO be done about It?
Well, perhaps the city budget fol
1920, which was published yesterday
Will give us somo light.

Durin sthis entire period he is given
 q thorough theoretical and practical
 training in machinist lines. at the ! governments expense.
 At the end of 56 weeks he is rated
 as a second class petty officer, and
 paid $55.50 a month. At the comple.
 ton of his IS weeks training he is
 rated as first class petty officer
 and paid S66.50 He is then sent to a naval aviation station On his ar
 rival there his pay is increased 50 per cent for flight duty, or to $99. .75. This sum is pure velvet" as all his living and clothing expenses, his board and lodging, are paid for him in addition.
 Out of the young mans three year enlistment" says Lieutenant Kilmer, he is thus in school IS months, is paid literally while being educated at the governments ex- pense, and at the end of his IS months receives $99.75 month clear of all living expenses.
 This is the kind of education of fered; it will fit the young man not only for naval aviation. but it will fit him to take charge of any ma chine shop in the country. The equipment he uses while in school is of the best. We use no worn-out motors or other used equipment It costs the government from $500 to $500 month for each man put through this school'
 The reason men of higher type, of initiative and ambition, and a solid educational foundation, are required for these enlistments. says Lieuten- ant KilmeF, is because 100 men are picked from the navy every year to qualify, by competitive examination, for entrance to Annapolis.
 Although the aviation branch of the navy is comparatively very small" said Lieutenant Kilmer, i've intend to send from our branch at least 50 of these 100 men to the na- val academy"
 There is also movement afoot to pick ten men from every 40 who go through the aviation naval school to | receive flight instruction. When | these qualify they are given warrant rank, and then commission rank.

 Still, she would not give up.
 With friendly aid she journeyed out to the lonely ranch.
 The cold ashes of fire were found. Trembling, Pearl McNutt watched while the men dug.
 Five feet down they came to an old bedspread, bound with bailing wire.
 They enlarged the hole.
 Soon it was large enough to en- able them to extricate the body. They snapped the wire. The bed spread was unrolled.
 In it, tinged by the blood red of the fading sun, lay the mangled body of Will McNutt.
 He had been clubbed to death. A towel gag forced his jaws apart.
 Even as the medium had seen.
 
 Back in the city the authorities tardily got to work.
 Dark stains in the room at the Wolverine hotel, where McNutt is supposed to have met his fate, were tested by chemists.
 They were pronounced blood-stains. In Los Angeles two women were caught and charged with complicity in the murder.
 Their brother was rounded up in another California town, also on the same charge.

 The recruiting party left San Diego on August %.

 To be eligible for enlistment, Lieu tenant Kilmer explains, a young man must be between the ages of IS and 30 years, and must have full gram mar school education; men with high school educations being very much preferred. When young man first enlists he is sent to the avia- ton mechanics school at Great Lakes, H.

 Selma Armour went into trance.
 Suddenly, above the silence, she spoke:
