YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THEM

If you were to invest 800 today in any business concern you
would feel that you had to keep an eye on that business You might
make money out Of your investment - AND YOU NIGHT LOSE
MONEY.
1t would worry you more or less.
If you put 800 in the bank, you'd have times in which you Won
dered if your money was absolutely safe.
If you bought industrial stocks or bonds with your money you
would give many an anxious moment to thinking about the security of
your Investment.
If you loaned your 500 to another person you would keep your
mind s eye ON him until he repaid you.
If you bought real estate with your money, thered be a chance
the value might drop, and always there'd be taxes to pay.
If you bought an automobile, why, there's the upkeep and gas"
to consider.
If you stuck your 800 in a teapot and hid it away, like as not
someone would steal it, or the mice would gnaw it into nothingness.
But ify you invest that $100-or as much more as you can rake to-
gether, why you can forget all about it, calling your investment to
mind twice a year when it's time to clip the interest coupons. You
can t lose your money if you don't sell your bonds. You know exactly
how much interest you win get; and you know that the concern in
Which you invest your Victory Loan Dollars will not fail, cannot fail,
and will never pay a cent less in interest than what it promises.
Think of that when the Victory Loan salesman comes to your
home, or if he has already called and you turned him down, go to a
bank or to victory loan headquarters in the Board of Trade rooms and
subscribe NOW.

PLANNING FOR SHIP CANAL

Assemblvman Warmers statement on the preparations beng
made by the commission appointed by Governor Edge to go before
congress and urge action on the New Jersey ship canal, gives every
Indication that something will soon be doing along that line. I'M
portance of the proposed waterway is being emphasized o all iues'
Mr.. Warner quotes Secretary Of Commerce and Labor hedneid IN
his last report to congress in which the secretary said, In regard 10
this project, "the time for action has come" Mr.. warner points o'
that the Federal Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce In a q
ri report upon the Importance Of the Atlantic intercostai canal sys-
tenn says that the waterway would be a success from IN Stanopo"' :"
commerce and also from the standpoint of defense.
A vast amount of data is being collected by the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Edge and there is every indication hat IL VII o'
fayorabIy received when it goes to Washington.
The significant thing about all this is the important bearing II mas
on the future of Perth Amboy. With the belt line railroad, about when
Dewitt Van Buskirk spoke at the last Board OF Trade Forum
pleted, Perth Amboy will be the point OF contact between nj great
waterway leading up from the ports of the South, and the metropoi-
tan district about New York harbor. 1t will be at this place where inc
belt line railroad will meet the ship canal Here, then, is the Logical
location for a great terminal Vessels coming through the canal with
a cargo destined for points anywhere in the interior will here meet the
belt line railroad that will carry the various freight to the different
trunk line railroads. 1t will be busy place, indeed
What is Perth Amboy doing to prepare for this great develop
ment?
Where is this terminal where the belt line railroad will take on the
freight from the vessels coming through the canal to be loeatedY
This is a problem that ought to be solved. The city cannot ahoro
to sleep when big projects like this are on foot all about it.
But, as said before, this is only one of a great many problems that
confront the city in its growth and development 1t has Its tohey
system and residential section to provide for; the elimination OF the
grade crossings of the steam railroads and the construction of a union
station; parks and recreation centers to be laid out; a suitable sol
diers' memorial and other features of municipal development to be
planned for.
Yes, there must be plan for all this. No work can be done o. an
extensive scale, such as the systematic building up of great city with
out a plan. These things ought not to be done in a haphazard manner
They ought to be done inteligently, in accordance with a carefully
laid out plan showing the whole scheme of the city as it is proposed 20
be twenty-five or fifty years hence.
Now is the time to get this plan before all these extensive level
opments begin. Perth Amboy should have a city plan Without further
delay. Steps should ss taken now te have 2eh plan 50 as to be ready
r. me great work that lies IN the immediate future.

married life and a few children can
change a bright, classy girl into a dull
kitchen mechanic.
There is no nature taking to it when
a girl has Corn Fed legs and a fiat

Rickdrd Has Not
Picked Spot For
the Big Battle

New York, March 12.-TeX
Rickard, promoter of the Will
lard-Dempsey heavyweight cham
pionship fight, returned to this
city last night after a tour of the
West without any definite idea Of
where the ring battle will be
staged. He found awaiting him
here as many kilograms offering
sites for the contest as he had
received on his trip.
He stated that he had not de-
cided upon any particular place
as yet and did not expect to
make any announcement for sew
eral weeks at least.
His offers included ore OF
s160,000 from Pocatello, Idaho,
and another of S165,000 from
Idaho Falls, Idaho. Other sec
tions or states which offered sites
included Halifax. Quebec, Globe,
Ariz.; Pennsylvania Connecticut.
Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Nevada, Ohio, Louisiana and
Texas.
Rickard said that under no cir
cumstances would he sell tho
rights to the fight, for he expect
ed to stage the contest himself.
Insurance policies for S50,000
upon each of the principals and
one of twice that amount upon
Rickard will be signed to-day.
According TO Rickard, Willard
has already begun training and
cports a reduction in weight OF
eleven poyhds at the end of the
first week.

Tech in Plan For Baseball League
Which Will Include Other Cities

Tech students are extending the
glad hand to Birdie" Hinkls as the
new manager of the baseball team
who will put Tech back On the dia-
mond after four years of idleness.
That Tech has not been represented
on the diamond is really no fault
of the Maroon constitution. On the
diamond they so far outclassed all
opponents that no high school could
be induced four years ago to play
Tech.
This statement may seem like an
exaggeration to outsiders. but the
same condition exists today in track.
There is little enthusiasm at Tech
for track due to the fact that the
Maroon lads are in a class OF their
own, and have defeated the pick of
high schools at Lehigh, Pittsburgh.
the Island and State College, year
in and year out. No where is there
a high school in the state that will
meet Tech on the track. The result
is that there is little interest in track
this season and the Maroon athletes
will turn their attention to base
ball.
Hinkle is one of the cleverest anna
teur players in the city. He plays
any of the infield positions, and the
chances are he will be found at third
base for Tech. Games will be played
on the H. A. C.. grounds Saturday
afternoon and several mid-week con-
tests will also be staged by the new
manager. A popular price of ten
cents will admit the student body.
while the fans will get change to
ogle the Tech team for Is cents.
A big feature of the proposition is
to organize a scholastic league con-
sisting of York, Reading, Tech, Leb-
