Banquet at the Palace.

The Parent-Teachers Association
entertained some fifty or sixty guests
at the Palace Hotel last Wednesday
night in the interest of the public
health nursing service.
Miss Wilson, of Nashville, director
of the Bureau of Public Health Nurs-
ing in Tennessee, was here as a guest
of the association and the speaker of
the occasion.
The address was along the lines al
ready outlined in this paper by the
Nursing Service, Southern Division,
American Red Cross, in a series of
contributed articles, one of which
appears in this issue. Miss Wilson
made the subject quite bit more at
tractivc by her manner of presenting
the various angles of the work. She
is a delightful talker and her way of
presenting the work is very suggestive
and appealing. Quite number of
queries were made after the address,
to which she responded graciously
and satisfactorily.
Mrs. G. H. Niles, president of the
Parent-Teachers Association, presid-
ed. At this meeting an organization to
be known as the Public Health
League of Union City was proposed
and bylaws for same, drarted by Mr.

rary chairman to serve until the |
board elects its officers.

the various clubs and religious or
CARNATIONS of Union City, and by
this means to make permanent in
stitution of public health nursing in

Kicks are made against the kill
ers by a lot of grouchy cranks; be-
ing staid old social pillars, they for
get their boyhood pranks. Every
where I hear them saying, %shudder-
ing at every breath. There's too
much impromptu Staying, too much
unexpected death. Any youth can
get a rife-guns are now his aims
and goals-and then, for the merest
triie, he will shoot us full of holes.
We are scared. like farmyard pullets
when a hawk flies overhead, for
we're always lodging bullets, always
burying our dead" Thus the ancient
men are knocking. roosting in the
parks and courts; and they all con-
slider shocking every kind of modern
sports. Age makes people cold and
narrow, they can't sympathize with
fun; they defend the bow and arrow
as against the sawed off gun And
the kicks are growing louder, from
these shelfworn. dotard folk; when
they're shot with smokeless powder
they can't take 1t az a joke. Every
daily paper Brings them further news
DER which to cuss; when a charge
of buckshot wings them they kick up
q beastly fuss. And thy call for dras-
tic measures cutting short the wave
of crime, but the young must have
their pleasures in this merry modern

And I inquired of him concerning

T.. s. BUYING AND SELLING
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Gone of the big steps
in the movement for government economy was
taken when the executive order was issued
recently shutting down on sales of surplus suo-
plies by all government departments and putting
the disposition and exchange of these supplies
under the direction OF General Dawes, new
chief of the Bureau of the Budget.
This step put a stop to an old system through
which the government has lost money for many
decades, the amounts running tremendously
high since the expansion of the government
machine made necessary during the World war.
1t is impossible to get together all OF the
figures to show how great the loss mas oeeh
to the government, and therefore to the Ameri-
can people, because each government depart
ment has handled it's own sales in getting ria

other times for which it now has no use.

the new one was put in TO supplant II say tnat

PAVING MUNICIPAL STREETS.

The petition of the borough of Roosevelt to
the Board of Freeholders requesting that PERISH
ing avenue in that borough be paved at county
expense ought not to be granted. The practice
Of paving city and borough streets by the county
has been greatly abused. There is no time like
the present to call a halt.
1t can safely be said that every incorporated
municipality in the county has had fair recog-
milton in this matter. and while some may claim
! that certain municipalities have been favored
more than others, all have had their fist in the
county treasury for purely local street improve
ment, so that If the freeholders should decline
henceforth to pave any highway within the
corporate limits of any city or borough unless
It is a direct continuation of one of the main
county highways, there could be no justified
complaint.
There are som little boroughs like Spots
wood and Helmetta where there is practically
only one street which is a county road, where
the freeholders would be justified in doing the
paving, but for such prosperous places as
Roosevelt, South River, Metuchen, and the like,
there is no more excuse for asking the county
to bear the expense of ordinary street paving
than there is for Perth Amboy or New Bruns-
wick to ask the county to pave any of the
numerous streets within their limits.
Last year the taxpayers of the county paid
the cost of paving the Blazing Star road. which
is wholly within the borough of Roosevelt, and
now a petition appears for the paving of PERISH
ing avenue at county expense. At this rate, a
street or two at a time, Roosevelt will be able
10 build up an excellent system Of well paved
streets with the county footing the bill.
Naturally, if Roosevelt can get all her principal
streets paved at county expense every other
municipality feels that it, too, ought to receive
the same consideration.
What an awful howl there would be If, wnen
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick made UP
their street paving program in the spring, they
went to the Board of Freeholders and asked
the county to bear the expense of the work. 1t
is abad precedent and it has already gone too
far.
Let the Board of Freeholders take care of the
rural districts and country roads and let the
places pave their own streets at
their own expense. 1t is not fair to Perth
Amboy and New Brunswick that they should
have to do practically all their own paving and
at the same time, through county taxes. pay
such a large portion of the expense OF paving
the streets of other places as well.
If the freeholders would make this year the
that they will take over ordinary streets
within any incorporated place for the purpose
Of having a permanent pavement for the munich
pality, they would have a great deal more money

so badly needed and they would compel cities
and boroughs to take care Of their own Streets
which is right mad proper for them to DO.
