DELAY ON BRIDGE

From present indications it will
be a long while before service over
the state bridge here is resumed.
It seems that little or no actual
work is being done. except to post
notices in this section OF the state
that the bridge is closed. Few men
seem to be working at the span. and
taking into regard the seriousness
Of the situation, we think more
drastic action could have been taken
to rush the job through.
1t could have been possible to
know some time ago the true con-
dition of the bridge and draw. Re-
pairs could be timed. and when
ready to be started. to have every
thing in it's place for the work. The
trouble with the draw did rot hap
pen in a week or month; it has been
slowly wearing out. state engineers
should have known that, planned
accordingly and not have tied Up
trafic and business as is the situa-
ton today.

ALbAhS
Anyway. a b~ald-headed man
doesn't have TO cuss his wife for mis-
laying his comb. He can part his
hair with a towel.
The woman who is trying to raise
three gold fish and a fern can't see
what the mother of four children
has to worry about.
A woman will dress and go down
town for two hours on a hot day be-
cause 1t feels so good to get home
again and get the corset off.
Funny how the woman who has
an inch of it on her own face can al
ways see that the other woman uses
too much powder.
And where is the old tad who used
to wear his pants pockets in front OF
his pants instead of on the sides?
The difference between being en-
gagged and being married is the diff
ference between being able to go to
"a girl when you want to and being
compelled to go to her when you
don't want to.
We know some men who cast a
.penny's worth of stale crusts on the
waters and then expect ten dollars
worth of cake to be returned to
them.
II il had been the Prodigal Daugh-
ter who returned, she would have
had a mighty cool reception. And it
is doubtful If they would have killed
even a Fatted Buzzard for her.
One reason why there are not
more divorces is because a lot of wo-
men get a lot of pleasure out OF
quarreling with their husbands.
You may not believe it. But the
less hair a woman has the longer II
takes her to fix it.
Anyway, a married man never has
to sit UP nights and worry abou now
to get rid of his money.
And you may have noticed that
the Female Reformers who indignate
about Low Necks and Curves are
1at-chested and have shapes like bed
stats.
And why not a Nineteenth Amend
ment prohibiting men from wearing
black coats when they are shedding
dandruf?
When a married couple can't agree
on anything else they have no trou-
Bile agreeing to disagree.
The one time when women are al
WAYS right is when they get the idea
that the men can't get along without
them.

ROAD

With bids received for repairs 10
the Roosevelt Woodbridge road and
for new paving from Jamesburg to
Helmetta, two more highways which
have demanded improvement for
some time will be started soon. The
Job between Woodbridge and
Roosevelt directly affects Perth
Amboy as a large amount of BUSH
ness is transacted between the
three places. and repairs on same
have been asked for some time.
1t is pleasing to note that the
Jamesburg road is 10 be Of con-
crete with no patent top dressing.
II properly laid this construction
work has proved its worth where
patent paving has failed to hold up
in many cases.
All possible haste should be taken
to get work started on the road
from Rogan's Corner TO Fords. IT
a good move to have the troll
ley tracks placed in the center of
the roadway there and have the
paving done on each side. With
that completed. the road from this
city to Metuchen will be in good
condition.
The state road between Metuchen
and Highland Park and New Bruins
wick, except for about a mile On
the Metuchen side, is in deplorable
condition. While the State High
way Commission has many other
problems to contend with, 1t is
hoped that work on this important
highway in Middlesex county will
soon be started.

HEALTHY THOUGH HOT

These summer months bring
sickness and death. Much of both
is ~preventable. Adults violate the
most common rules and babies
languish and die because Of the
lack of proper parental precaution.
The big idea is to keep cool and
be moderate in all things, going to
excess in none. Eat sparingly. Give
vegetables and fruits the, shade over
meats. It isn't necessary any long
err to warn against the use of al
coholic stimulants. But don't use
them, even If procurable. Use cool
water, rather than iced water.
Lemonade is good; so is orangeade
and the drink made Of the lime.
The daily bath is a wonder work
err in hot weather. Twice daily.
morning and evening, is still better.
Clad yourself coolly. Be comforta-
BILE of dress. Abandon tight things.
Follow the early TO bed" precept
in warm weather. Don't worry.
Don't fret. Don't get all het up
over anything. Be sane and sensi-
Bile about your eating, drinking.
clothing. labor and recreation. and
so increase your chances of saying
Il with flowers to the fellow who
acts counter to these simple sem
fences.
And wise mothers will fortify the
baby against the effects of Old Sol.
Don't overdress. The cotton shirt,
the diaper and a slip are enough
when it's hot. Physicians say that
bathing in tepid water. with a little
baking soda added. cools the skin,
reduces irritation. induces sleep and
increases resistance. Keep the
flies away. Keep baby's food clean.
Give him plenty OF sleep and he'll
come out Of the summer heat as
well and as healthy as his parents
