BIG DOINGS HJcRE.

There will be big 6oings in this To-
cality in the near future. Two con-
tracts alone that are about to be let
will total $4,000, 900. These are the
new bridge across the Raritan river
which will cost s2,50O.OOO and the
reservoir to be constructed at Kinsey
Corner at a cost OF about 100000 0
In addition to these is the big con-
struction work at the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company's plant that will
bring the figure we'll UP over the five
million dollar mark.
All this means q great deal for
Perth Amboy. A large force of skill
ed workmen will be employed as well
as hundreds of laborers. The jobs
will last a long time SO that these
.workmen will make their homes in
this vicinity spending their wages here
thereby adding to the prosperity of
the local merchants.
And the best of 1t is. all of these
great projects will be permanent i'm
for Perth Amboy adding
to the city's facilities and all tending
to make Perth Amboy bigger and
greater than ever.

BRINGING UP OLD SORES.

Admiral Sims, In concluding his
Testimony before the senate investisat-
Ing committee. only confirms that
which was generally understood by
the public. He says that In spite OF
the fact tina war had been going on
for nearly three years and our entry
into II had been imminent at least
from February 2. 1917. the vessels of
the navy were not ready for war
service when the United States enter
ed.'
In advocating preparedness by
government when the European war
broke out 1t was continually pointed
out that with all Europe in flames
common sense would decate a reason
able amount of precaution on our part
lest some change Of the wind would
blow some embers toward US and
start a conlagration here, This Is
eventually what happened, but as far
as the administration at Washington
was concerned, II Went pedCelulS oA
it's day refusing absolutely to take any
steps that could be construed as be-
ing of a warlike nature.
1t was q fool-hardy policy and came
very neal being disastrous, but, thanks
to, the superior intelligence of the
personnel Of the navy and the we'll
known American ability to do things
when things have to be done, the
shortcomings were surmounted; that
the navy gave a good account of itself
win not be denied.
Admiral Sims is simply bringing up
old sores. Perhaps 1t viii do some
good, perhaps not. 1t is certain that
only the pro-Germans and he ex-
treme paciists can have n defense
for the failure of the United States to
get both branches Of her military
forces in order ready for eventualities
whether they would be needed or not.

HOUSE HUNTING.

One who seems to AVE given some
thought to the housing problem that
is now confronting the nation has
doubtless arrived at one of the great
causes for the unprecedented house.
hunting that Is now going on even II
no solution to the problem is offered.
He says:
TT is reported that in some cities
moving van drivers are being stopped
on the streets by home-hunters who.
demand to know where the load OF
furniture they are hauling came from.
Upon receiving the desired in
formation. they hurry to the vacated
house to make first claim on 1t,
And more Thar that: Homeless
folks are watching the divorce u
news in the papers, and homes that
are about to be broken up by divorce
are beseiged In advance by persons
eager to move In as soon as the un-
happy families move out.
at is a mystery to many that there
is shortage of homes today when be-
fore the wal there was some sort OF a
place for everybody to live In. To
some extent the shortage can be as
scribed to the immigration of country
folks into the cities. To a much great
er extent 1t reflects q rising
Of living in the new America.
THE new America demands bath
tubs and electric lights. 1t regards
fresh air and sunlight as the natural
right of every child in every home. 1t
calls for sanitary plumbing and other
lconditions that make for good health.
lit demands a strip of backyard with
every home and a bit of lawn IN front.

for homes SO arranged as to free the
housewife from the old drudgery.
That is what the great hunt Tor
homes means. 1t Is a crusade for
health. for decent living, for whole
