A REAL

There seems to be a conflict Of
emotions among the international
yacht race enthusiasts in this city.
The wonderful craftsmanship dis
played by Sir Thomas Upton has
won for him many friends and
there are those who hope he will be
able to raise the cup this year after
so many attempts and long years
of waiting. But at the same time
Regolute and her gallant crew have
a host of supporters who cannot sec
any chance OF Shamrock ~ taking
the cup back to Great Britain.
It is most surprising to see the
interest shown in Perth Amboy in
the yacht races. The number OF
inquiries answered by the EVEN
ING NEWS regarding the progress
OF the race would rival the world
series or a worlds championship
prize fght. Sir Thomas Lipton's
me spirit has done much to keep

RED CROSS AGAIN

Passersby who have followed the
custom of buying their papers from
newsboys about the city will no
doubt remember the pitifully Grip
Piled, though happy and cheerful
lad who piled his armful of news
at the corner of Smith and State
streets. They, too. have probably
noted his absence from his usual
station and will be relieved to know
that through the kindness and the
ever helping hand of the American
Red Gross in this city Walter
Geneski, twelve years old. has been
taken to a hospital for crippled
children.
Here for three weeks he has been
recovering from the successful oper-
alton, with his twisted foot
strengthened. and eheered by the
prospect of being able to dispense
with crutches hereafter and retura
to his work happier than ever. He
will have his chance in life after all.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-07-22

interest in the race up to such a
high pitch. The odds r still IN
his favor, his sloop having won two
races to Resolute's one. But the
American yacht has redeemed her
self and will go in tomorrow's race
with the hope Of her supporters
that the trophy will remain in
America.
Yesterdays race was the most
exciting yet sailed and thousands
viewed the struggle for supremacy.
II Is regrettable that the two sloops
are not Of the same size and sail
area so that the race could be con-
Quoted without a handicap. To the
spectators seeing the yachts cross
the line in a close finish it is after
all a problem of mathematics to
ascertain the winner.

first meeting Immediately upon Sc

The Horrors of Prohibition.

Thomas Morris, of Broken Bow.
Neb., has just died at the age of
1877. He was born in Berren, Scot
land, January 10. 1894. He was the.
Oldest white man in the world. We
will now quote Charles Mytton, the
adopted son of the old man:
From early youth Thomas Morris
always used liquor and smoked a
pipe. He was eve known to be
seriously sick until prohibition made
it impossible for him to get liquor
When indisposed he soon recovered,
and his remedy was always a drink
of liquor. 1t was always a stimulant
for him. When prohibition came
we could LOT make him understand
that he could not secure any more
liquor. To him this was the strang-
est thing that ever happened. He
began to fade away and soon
died"

DRASTIC BRIDGE ACTION

IL will be weeks. moi days, before
t9e state highway bridge here viii
BE reopened to tramc, according to
estimates made by the state engi-
reers in charge of the work on the
span. Crippled at the height Of the
summer season when thousands of
New Jersey and other motorists
head for the shore, the task con
fronting the highway commission
Is indeed a gigantic one II service
on the bridge is restored within a
reasonable time.
Every time the bridge breaks
down it's Importance to the state
n nation is made manifest. The
number Of inquiries regarding the
true status of the bridge answered
BY this paper has shown that. A
large number of requests for in
formation came from New York,
and were principally made by in
dustrial plants and shippers.
Due to the fact that when the
present repairs are made there is
nothing to assure the travelling
public that another break may not
occur at a different part Of the
span, we again urge the state high
way commission to make every
available step to rush work on the
new structure. Even with drastic
action taken by the state commits
sion 1t will take over two years to
erect the new span and during that
long interval no end of uncertain
things can happen that will tie up
and delay traffic over state highway
route number four. A road, like
anything else, is only as good as its
weakest part. The weakest part in
the highway to the shore is right
here at Perth Amboy at the bridge
spanning the Raritan river. Con-
certed action is demanded Of the
state TO keep this route open.
