A LOCAL ISSUE.

Yesterday we advocated a real,
constructive platform for candidate,
for municipal ofiees In the coming
campaign. Some issue ought to be
raised whereby the people can en-
press their preferences through the
ballot.
Just such an issue rs we have in
mind has been raised In the special
municipal slection that Is about to
be held in Asbury Park to choose q
commissioner TO all the vacancy
caused by the death Of DR.. Hugh II.
Kinmouth. The whole campaign
centsrs over the development of As
bury Parks beach. One side advo-
Gates . policy OF making the beach
more OF a picnic ground, a place for
cheap amusement and daily enter
tsinmsnt. Another faction would
develop the beach more on the line
Of q high class resort, getting away
from the Coney Island idea and APP
pesling to a different kind of patron
age. entirely.
One of the advantages OF a munici-
pal election under the commission
form of government, such Is they
have in Asbury Park, IL that 1t Is
held separate from all other cleo
tions. The people are able to devote
their entire attention TO purely To-
cal issues. There is no League of
Nations issue, no questions OF wheth-
or the senate shall dominate the
President or the President shall
dominate the senate-these matters
are left entirely to be threshed out
in the general election In November.
The municipal election, whether it be
. regular election or q special cleo
tion, has got to be held alone and
The people choose their oficials not
because Of the attitude they may as
sumo on great national problems,
but on the strength OF their stand on
local Issues.
The policy of the future develop
ment of the beach is the n great
issue in Asbury Park. The people,
hy their ballots. will vote with that
issue solely in mind regardless of
how they feel on the questions at
issue between the two great political
parties.
Perth Amboy people had an OPP
portunity to adopt a form of govern
ment that would assure them similar
elections, but they were too indif-
ferent to go TO the polls and vote on
the question. But even with our
present form of government, and in
spite of the fact that the main in
fe9est this fall will be the election OF
a President, there are still local
issues that viii attract the attention
Of the voters. If some party or
candidate will enter the field and an
bounce a definite policy along certain
lines and conduct his entire cam
psign along that line. he is bound to
attract attention. Whether he wins
pr not remains with the people to
Improve or disapprove the policy fol-
which he stands.

HEALTH ADVICE

O. What causes white spots on
the hands? They are clear, and
seem to be charging, and have been
noticed for the past two years.
A. The cause of these spots has
been investigated, but without result.
They are. however. of very little in
terest, for they do not appear to
be associated with health In any way,
and should. therefore. occasion no
worry.
@. I had two boils on the cheek,
and they left a mark. Is there any
way this could be removed. as I am
only nineteen years old, and people
know at ono hat the mark is not a
wrinkle "A Constant Reader"
A. 1t is possible that some first
class cosmetic surgery could improve
the present appearance, but it IL
very questionable whether such an
operation is worth while. If per-
formed by an unskilled surgeon, il
might leave a conspicuous scar
than now exists. 1t is suggested that
you consult your family physician.
and, If advisable. have him refer
YOU to a 1irst-class specialist in
cosmetic surgery. If you will send
me your name and address. I will
send you an article dealing with
pimples and blackheads.
