ROAD REPAIRS

Road conditions in this section OF
the state are for the first time since
the past winter in fair condition.
With the recen completion of re-
pairs to the Lincoln Highway be-
tween Metuchen and Highland Park,
a good road between this city and
the county seat. with the exception
of a short stretch of highway
through Fords has been affected.
The work on this road. which was
in deplorable shape during the mo-
toring season, was done at the d.
rection OF the State Highway Com
mission and taking everything into
consideration is a good job.
The Roosevelt-Woodbridg road is
also in good shape as can also be
said for the highways to South Jer-
sey. But all this cannot blot out
the memory OF bad road and bridge
conditions during the summer
months. Plans should be made to
prevent another period of traffic tie
ups at another time.

Our two-party system has lasted

other political system now existent
under any constitutional government
II IS being adopted in the United
Kingdom"
Thus speaks Senator Harding In
a written communication to Repub-
lican women voters.
What can he mean?
As a matter of history the two
party system existed in Great Bril-
tain before the United States was
born.
According to Every Mans En-
cyclopedia. 1t was evolved from the
historical accident of the division in
to Wings and Tories in the Stuart
period a division which, long after
its causes had been forgotten, had
become stereotyped into a tradition
that it correspondent to a real divis-
ion of political outlook .
English political life presents the
spectacle of two principal national
parties. really or apparently divided,
In a number of important issues
each, whether in power or in oppo-
sition, presenting a very nearly
united front to its opponents as the
best or only mean of retaining or
gaining office, according to the pro-

A IN THE DEEP.

The 'trackless deep is about to
be conquered. Navigators are now
making final tests on radio pilot
cables which will be laid In New
York harbor, guiding vessels for
over sixteen miles, out to the high
seas.
This device has been stamped as
"one of the greatest aids to naviga-
ton ever devised" The cable throws
out magnetic wave which can be
heard by wireless telephone receivers
on a ship at the surface and within
500-foot radius.
With a large receiving coil, like a
four-foot ear, on either side of the
vessel, the buzzing of the cable can
be distinguished with equal ease in
'oul weather. fog or on a smiling sea.

HAVE A SELF STARTER


The hard thing for the average
youth is to get started in life. After
he has settled the big question bf
the business in which he is to invest
himself. the next problem is to kick
off.
1t is not always easy. Here is
where we seek a friend with a pull.
1t is a great thing to be that kind
of a friend. Some of the best deeds
one gets to his credit on the books
Of the recording angel are the
things done in helping young fell
lows started in life. Often these
things declare dividends when divi-
bends are most needed.
But there is something better
than either a push or a pull. 1t is
a self-starter.
Heredity is something: IL is what
gets from his ancestors. En-
vironment is something; il is what
n gets from his SURROUNDINGS. But
there is a more valuable asset than
either ancestors or circumstances:
ii Is personality. Personality is what
you are in yourself.
That is where the self-starter is
located. You do not need either a
pull or n push. You simply need to
bear down on personality, to spark
the latent power in your own being.
Ignition may be slow, but keep
turning over the engine. A lot OF
young fellows a to be million
aires before they have reached pay
day. We worship quick success.
The best things take time. Things
that come easy and cost little are
cheap Issues and soon go.
1t is a fellow who has the deter
mination that declines to yield to
who keeps on
cranking himself into action, whose
will-power summons him to patient.
plodding. persistent effort, that is on
the program for the best zee in
life.
Take heed unto thyself' was the
advice an old man gave to his
young friend n long time ago. 1t
Paul's way of telling Timothy
that life should be equipped with
a self-starter.
But always put yourself to the test.
You don't know what you can do:
Try and try till you do your best,
YOU success depends upon you"

HEALTH ADVICE
First Aids in Accident and Hine

First ADS in Acc1urnt anu liinesS
The object of first aid is to give
the right kind of assistance before
the doctors arrival, during which
time bleeding must be controlled,
pain relieved and broken bones and
dislocated joints SO fixed hat they
can cause no further injury. When
a doctor is sent for, he should be
informed of the nature of the acct
dent or illness, in orderAthat he may
bring with him such medicine and
instruments as may be required.
Persons giving first-aid treatment
should not yield to the temptation
to do too much. 1t is most import
ant to know what NOT TO DO and
when TO STOP.
Ordinarily, the first thing to do
in a case requiring first aid is to
get the patient into a comfortable
position. The best position is on
the back with the head low, except
i'm cases of fracture of the skull, or
where the face is flushed, when the
head and shoulders should be
slightly elevated. Loosen the collar.

might interfere with breathing or
circulation.

ing. rip the seams in the outer
clothing and cut or tear the under
clothing. Cut away the boots or
shoes rather than try to pull them
off.
Should injured persons ask for
water. give it to them. but see that
they drink It slowly.
Stimulants are best when given
hot, heat itself being a powerful
stimulant; but they should be
given in cases of injury to the head,
or in case of hemorrhage until the
bleeding has been checked.
Unconscious persons cannot swal-
low, and no effort should be made
to give them water. stimulants, etc.
by the mouth, since this would
choke them.
If vomiting occurs, place the
patient on his side or turn the head
to one side. so that the vomiting
matter will not get into the wind
pipe and cause the patient to choke.
The mouth may then be cleansed OF
vomiting matter by means of the
finger wrapped in a clean napkin,
handkerchief or towel.

RAILS TANGLED.

Iowa is the eighth state to refuse
intra-state railroad rate increases.
The position Iowa takes is that
while the Interstate Commerce Com
mission may regulate rates of freight
and passenger traffic between states,
it has nothing to say about what
rates shall be charged within the
state. Seven other states already
have assumed that attitude.
All Of which places the railway
situation in a tangle, which federal
courts must smooth out. Should the
courts uphold the states, railroads
will not come near the large in
they expected, and which, it
seems. they need to enable the coun-
try's transportation system to keep
step with the nations production.

LAST WEEK OF CAMPAIGN.

One more week of campaigning
and then the 1920 election will be a
matter of history. Both sides, ma
tionally and locally are urging their
candidates and workers to greater
efforts In the intensive drive of the
coming week. One or two more big
meetings will be held. women will
be instructed how to vote. and much
personal canvass work will be done.
Then the ballots will be counted and
the city and nation will settle down
to the former scheme of things.
The political workers will be glad
when it Is all over, but they will be
no more relieved than the voting
public. While nationally there has
been many issues raised and in many
cases dropped over night, changed
and camoufiaged, the local campaign
has not been featured In hat way
The Perth Amboy citizens know all
the candidates for the different
offices and have probably made up
their minds by this time who they
will favor at the polls.
How the women will vote is the
all-perplexing question affronting
the political leaders. AS usual both
sides claim their support and as this
is a new factor in state politics. no
true line in general canno be drawn
on the ultimate result.
Old time politicians who said that
women will take no interest in
things politically must now admit
that they were mistaken. While

who still oppose equal suffrage and
yearn for the former order of pro-

women in general have been well
coined with open arms into the po-
litical ranks.

politics has been the real feature of
the campaign. The meetings held
