he had learned to his favorite
dream, the horseless carriage.
For his first attempt he used q
carriage body and concentrated his
efforts on his motor. He expert
mented secretly in an upstairs work
room. Even when his machine was
ready for a trial run he hesitated
to take it on the street for fear of
frightening horses and so antago-
nizing the public. Finally. he
brought his model downstairs in an
elevator and made his final tests on
a vacant lot. Even there people
came to cape and protest, but when
he started the engine the sudden
splitting and chrgging of the motor
sent the crowd Niying in terror.
People became accustomed to the
phenomenon of the horseless vehi-
Gle slowly. 1t took Duryea two
years to sell thirteen cars when he
ton. Yet he says that his first COM
morcial demonstration machine. the
third model he made. w once
had to be towed. A few times 1t
broke down with an inexperienced
driver, but in such cases one of his
assistants or Duryea himself came
to the rescue. and after a little tin
kering the automobile of 1924
would start chugging and roll off in
triumph.
The First Race.
In 1896 Duryea sen a to Eng
land to take part in Of the odd
est races in automobile history. Up
to that time England had had a law
prohibiting a motor vehicle to run
on the common roads unless a man
walked before 1t waving a red flag.
This law kept England from max
ing any progress with automobile
inventions while France, Germany
and the United States were steadily
producing swifter and more reliable
models.
In 1896. when England repealed
the law. a celebration was held to
show what strides were being made
in rapid transit. Automobiles from
different countries were sent to
London for a demonstration race
from London to Brighton-52 miles
The European models had a reputa,
ton for speed and it. was to the sur
prise of all the spectators that
Duryea's American machine got to
Brighton a full hour before any of
the other speed demons came puff
ing up.
From then on. Duryea produced
one improved model after another.
The body vas swung lower, more
cylinders were added the horse
power was increased.
The motor "a as we know it was
rapidly evolved. 1t seems a far cry
from the grotesque motor buggy in
the museum. but really the devel-
opment has been a. process of re-
finement and improvement rather
than of radical change.

TOYS FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.

Toys are made larger. more elaborate and
more costly than evere before. Life-size toy
bears, and toy CRATES as high as their prices
stand beside mechanical toys of almost in
credible ingenuity in the toys shops this Christ
mas.
But:
kindergarten teachers who have made play
their life study say children frequently derive
more pleasure and benefit from simple and in
expensive toys.
Little girls often prefer tiny doll dishes to
larger ones. It's the same with toys for boys.
The belief that a child's liking for a toy in
creases with the toys size is an illusion of
adults.
An automatic toy has only a brief interest.
For instance. one that winds up and races in a
circle. A child's greater interest is in one whose
operation he can direct and control.
Elizabeth Harrison, a national authority,
says:
The choice OF toys should be based not so
do with 1t.
The instructive delight in putting their own
thoughts into their playthings. instead of ac-
cepting the thought of the manufacturer, ex-
plains why simple toys are often more pleasing
TO children than expensive ones"
1t is safe to say there is more happiness
among the children of this city this Christmas
because of what has been done in the kinder
gartens and other grades of the public schools
in making toys for the little ones as a part of
the regular school work. 1t was a happy
thought that put the little fingers fashioning
the pretty things for Christmas. and the manual
training classes doubtless took far mare interest
in the things they were making because they
know OF the purpose behind their activities.
Doing for others while at the same time ac-
comprising something well worth while for
ones self is an ideal method. The larger pupils
are happy because they are conscious of having
done something worth while and also because
they realize that what they have produced with
their own hands is to be put to actual use. The
little folk are happy because of the toys they
will receive.
There is no occasion to pity the child who has
only simple and inexpensive toys for Christmas.
This child may have all the best of it.

December winds are blowing, and YEARLY
In going down to the wailing place: the
wintry clouds are flying, the old gray year Is
dying. it finishes its race The old white
year is failing and bitter winds are wailing

years, like flesh. are grass. Each year, when
a beginner. is sure to be a winner, that truth
is understood: and all the bells are ringing
and all the choirs are singing their proph-
ecies of good. The new year seems a treas

ness we've lost; but whens with age it tot
tiers. We swat il with our swatters, and say
1t was a frost. And now in drab December
but few of us remember how good the new
year seemed: its guarantees were thrilling.
1t promised the fulfilling of all the dreams
we dreamed. December always sees us so
tired that naught will please us except a
brand new year, wherein to try fresh meas

To PROTECT THE TREES.

decided step in the right direction is the
ordinance that was introduced st the meeting
of the Board OF Aldermen Monday night giving
m. park commission jurisdiction over the set
ding out and control OF all shade trees In the
CITY. To have a separate shade tree commits
sion seems supernuous in a city of this size; In
fact. IL has been hard to find the men to serve.
Shade tree, and parks are 80 closely related
that Il In an easy matter for the commission
that attends TO one to look after the other. As
long an the city already has a competent park
commission functioning It Is an excellent idea
m Mace the shade trees OF the city In the
same hands.
II IL time the shade trees here were oeing
looked after. The old trees that have made
certain parts OF the city beautiful In the past
are rapidly dying out and little has been done
toward saving what remain or In setting out new
trees TO take their place. Future generations
will suffer as a result Of our neglect.
As new sections of the city are developed 1t
ought to be Just as important to see that trees
sre set out along the curb as 1t is to SEQ that
the sidewalks are tagged. A residential section
can never become attractive without trees.
Perth Amboy ought to set out at least one
thousand trees next spring, but there is no use
setting them out II they are not to be looked
after. The park commission has men to do
this. Al the same time. steps must be taken to
impress upon the property owners. and especial
ly the children. the Importance of protecting
the trees. Get everybody interested and 1t will
be surprising what = change can be brought
about In the general appearance of the city

once the city shows a determined effort to do
something along this line, we do not believe
n will be hard to get the cooperation OF the
property owners.
The steps taken by the Board OF Aldermen
In placing the shade trees in charge OF the park
commission ought to go a long ways toward
making Perth Amboy a better place to live in.

PRIMARY NOMINATING COMMITTEES.

The Jersey Journal takes exception TO the
idea that the primary law be chansedsso that
the state and county committees OF the re-
s~pective parties may meet and select a tenta-
tive ticket TO be voted upon by the rank and
file of the members OF the party at the pri-
parry. giving the people the privilege Of
nominating independent candidates to contest
the election at the primary IL they so desire.
The journal argues that such a ticket put in
the field with the backing OF the state or county
committee would insure machine support from
the start and would be apt to discourage in
dependent moves.
But under the present law the county and
state committees pick out the candidates that
they favor. in spite OF the fact that the law for
bids them doing so. and the organization more
or less secretly works for the election of the
candidates thus selected.
The idea of having the county and state
committees suggest candidates is following out
the idea OF Charles T.. Hughes who Is one of
the strongest advocates bf the direct primary
10 be found in the country. Mr.. Hughes would
overcome one of the objections that has been
raised to the direct primary by having Some
of the leading members of the party formed in
to a nominating committee. so TO speak, and
their duty would be to select a ticket, which
would come as near as possible representing
the will of a majority of the party.
The fact that the county committeemen are
elected BY the voters of the respective parties
makes them qualified to represent the voters in
such a task. As long as the committees are go
ing to back certain candidates anyway. why not
have IL done in the open and with the full sane
ton OF the people? II the people knew they
we're selecting a nominating committee when
they voted for county com mitteemen they would
pay more attention to the kind OF men they
selected for committeeman and would be assur-
ed OF better representation. At the same time,
IL they did not approve OF the ticket selected by
tn committee they could reject the choice OF
the committee and choose other candidates at
the primaries.
BY making the county and state committees
nominating bodies for the primaries. reserving
for the people the privilege of accepting or re-
iecting such nominees as they see fit. we will
have brought out into the open what is now done
in an undetermined way.
1t is also true that a class OF men who might
object to a hot primary compaign for any nomi-
nation would be willing to have their names 60
before the people as the nominees presented
by tho county mmitt In, this way a better
class OF candidates in some instances might be
assured. yet at the primary 1t would be entirely
up to the rank and file OF the members Of the
party to accept or reject such nominees.
At least. conditions cannot be any worse than
they are at present and anything that tends to
bring out into the open that which is now done
in a secret and underhanded manner Is to be
encouraged.
