Prohibition has made one differ

Mercury and Neptune rule strong
ly for good today. while Uranus is
in benefic aspect.
Foresight should be keen during
this posting of the stars which is
most encouraging to the fuldllment
OF large ambitions.
Whatever had to do with writing,
whether IL be correspondence. jour
nalism or literature, is we'll directed
during this sway of the stars.
Those who ask for money by let
ter or wire should be fortunate in
obtaining generous consideration of
their requests.
AS Mercury has particular influ-
ence over the system and
organs of digestion this rule should
be most favorable to high-strung,
overworked men and women.
There is a sign read as indicating
a more serious study of foreign Ian
guages that has been common in the
past. Mercury Is in a place today
supposed to quicken the memory and
to keep the mind alert.
Growth in the demand for secre-
taries win continue to be marked.
Honors and dignities for them are
foretold.
Neptune today is said to rule the
sub-conscious mind, imparting dis
cernment and power to make plans
that will succeed.
Mediumistic or psychic gifts are
supposed to be much intensified
while this configuration prevails.
Aviation should benefit from the
planetary government which is par
ticularly favorable for new inven-
lions.
Improvement in lighting devices is
indicated and one of these new APP
planes will completely change
street illumination.
With Uranus in friendly place
there should be better judgment APP
piled to leading national problems.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of an active year. Travel
is foretold. Speculation of ventures
of any sort will not be lucky.
Children born on this day will
probably be gifted with artistic tai
ents. Actors and authors are born
Under this sign of Cancer.

coon TRAFFIC. REGULATION.

GOOD TRAFFIC. REGULATION.
Whatever else may be said about
the Perth Amboy police it must be
admitted that they know how to
handle trafhc. The weekend just
passed was another just such occa-
sion as the Sunday and Monday In
GLIDING Decoration Day. Thousands
of automobiles of all descriptions
and with all kinds of drivers-passed
through the city and all were
handled in the most capable and
orderly fashion. 1t reflected much
credit upon the department.
Perth Amboy at all times may
pride herself on the traffic regula-
tons of the city. In fact, there are
times when it would seem as II it
were a trihe overdone. We do not
know of any city of this size, or even
larger. where there are the number
of policemen on traffic duty all the
time as are to be found here. Only in
Trenton, Elizabeth, Newark and
similar places most of them many
times the size of Perth Amboy. do
we find such protection as is afford
ed at the busy n in Perth AM
boy.
The contrast between Perth Am
boy and New Brunswick in this re-
gard is particularly noticeable. With
all the heavy travel at the junction
of Albany and George streets one
finds the corner unprotected more
often than it is covered by a police
man. As for any of the <other i'm

Perth Amboy goes to the
other extreme and has several cor

might get along without a policeman
excepting on days when traffic is ex-
tremely heavy.
The large increase in the use OF
automobiles has made the highways,
particularly the busy city streets. ex-
tremely dangerous. II is well to see
that they are properly protected.

MAKE PEOPLE coNTENTED.

The EVENING NEWS very gladly
publishes the following letter re-
garding the Fairgrounds:
Editor Evening News:
II have noted your editorial of
July 3rd in which you make sug-
gestions relative to the need for
drinking water at the Hayes park
playground.
II wish to thank you for your
friendly interest in this matter, and
to assure you that such construc-
tive criticism will be welcomed most
heartily at all times.
II feel, however, that in justice to
this office and to the water depart
ment l should make it known that
this matter had been taken up with
the water department before the
publication of your editorial and
that had there not been a necessary
delay in obtaining the required
apparatus the fountain, which / am
pleased to say is now in operation
during playground hours, would
have been provided before this time.
Thanking you again, l am,
Every truly yours 4
"EDW. J. BURNS, Jr.,
Playground Supervisor"
We arr sure that those interested
in the playground movement and in
children generally will be glad to
learn that adequate drinking facilities
have been provided at the Hayes
tract and that the matter had been
taken care of even before the EVE
MING NEWS called attention to the
apparent omission. Under Super
visor Burns there is every reason to
believe that an excellent summer
season is ahead for the youngsters at
these recreation centers. The city
cannot help but profit by such pro-
vision as has been made for the boys
and girls who will not go away to
spend their vacation.
The regret is hat more money
cannot be secured for this work SO
that the thousands of youngsters
around Perth Amboy can have some
real Fairgrounds. In a city like
Perth Amboy where the vast ma
.jority of the people remain at home
the whole year through, the first
consideration should be the health
and happiness of the citizens. This
means plenty of parks and play
grounds for use in the summer.
There ought to be an adequate bath
ing beach with various amusements
and there ought to be band concerts
at least three times a week.
We ought to make Perth Amboy
a place that people will delight to
live in. There ought to be every
thing to make the people contented
SO that newcomers will want to re-
main hers all the rest of their life.
Everybody would be benefited by
such a policy as his
In the first place, the people would
be happy and contented. A happy
and contented people benefit the in
dustries by reducing the labor turn
over" and the more permanent the
residents become the more business
there Is for the merchants.
II there is any xcuse for extrava-
gance in municipal government It Is
in the endeavor to make the great
mass OF people who stay al home
happy and satisfied. This should be
the first aim Of the city officials. In
doing this parks and Fairgrounds
