\ Most WORTHY CAUSE.

Perth Amboy is to be asked to con-
tribute its share toward the support of
the F~Iorance Crittenton homes tomor-
row. There ought to be a generous
response. The purpose of these homes
is pretty generally known to the public
by this time. Mrs. Frances Hewlett
Wright, national field secretary of the
Crittenton homes. has been in this
city for several weeks and has deliver
ed many lectures on the work as well
as having spoken before many of the
church congregations and civic organ
izations. Everywhere the work she
represents has received hearty APP
proyaI and endorsement.
The F~lorance Crittenton homes are
homes in every sense of the word for
the girl or young woman who has
made a mis-step in life and who,
Judged by our present moral standards
is looked upon as an outcast and, in
some instances, may be eve consider
ed as lost. She is befriended and cared
for, and is encouraged to start out
anew. In these homes she finds peo-
pie who actually do care for her and
who are interested in her future with
tho past to be forgotten.
These girls are found in all parts
of sthe country. They may have
wandered far from the place they once
knew as home. Through the organ
~ization or the Crittenton home. the
place from which the girl has come is
able to provide for her. When a girl
first enters a home national head
quarters Is at once communicated with
to ascertain If there Is any fund avail
named as her original home. If there
is such a fund she is at once given
every care and attention possible no
matter In what section of the country
she may have been found. If there Is
no such fund from the place she
mentions, some means is found fol-
still providing for her. No girl is ever
turned adrift.
It Is understood that there are nov
several girls from Perth Amboy ir
lCrittenton homes In different parts o.
THE country. These are Perth Amboy
girls who have been rescued from 6
life that Is worse than death. They
are being cared for and mothered al
though up to date Perth Amboy ha!
not contributed q cent toward the sup
port IF these homes. No doubt there
lare still more girls who have gone on
from this city who will be saved III
the same way. 1t makes no difference
las to race creed or nationality-al
are treated alike. 1t Is only fair, then
that Perth Amboy should contribute
something toward the support of this
great work.
A tag day has been arranged fol
tomorrow and contributions are to bt
lsought. The desire is to raise at leas
$500 for this ause. When we realize
what It means to girls from our owl
city we cannot afford to pass this by.

purchase of the right of way of the

that the bill is dead for this year., at
least. II is Just as well. Some day,
of course. New Jersey will nave to
provide the money for the purchase Of
this right of way, but there is no neces-
sity for so doing until congress shows
more of an inclination TO build the
l%canal. When the federal government
is ready to proceed with this most de-
sirable project 1t will be time enough
for New Jersey to act. In the mean
