Y. M. C. a. WEEK

This is Y. NJ. C. A. week for Perth Amboy. The annual
membership drive is on, teams have been organized and
everybody connected with the big institution on jefferson
street is up and doing.
The campaign started off in smashing style last night.
All the team workers had supper together and listened to
inspiring addresses; there was lots of singing and plenty of
pep everywhere. If there ever was a campaign that
started under the most favorable circumstances this is the
one.
And why should not every man, and woman, too, get
behind the Y. NJ. C. A. with all the enthusiasm that one pos
sesses? What organization has done more for Perth Amboy?
What could be grander and nObler than to train young men
and boys to be honest and upright in their associations with
their fellows; clean and honorable in their sports? That is
what the Y. NJ. C. A. is doing for hundreds of Perth Amboy
boys today.
Yes, and it is now starting out along the same lines
with the girls. Every Wednesday has been given to the
women and girls when they have the full use of the Y. NJ. C.
A. building. AS a result a new interest has been aroused in
the association.
1t is something that is we'll worth while and every citi-
zen, whether he takes advantage of the privileges of the in
siitution or not, ought to be glad to help support it for the
GOOD it does. 1t is an assent Of which we all may feel proud.
Y. NJ. C. A. week ought TO be a big occasion in Perth
Amboy. 1t can be made so by everybody doing his part to
make the coming year even greater than those that have
preceded.

BY DR.. X. III. BISHOP

Meningitis or brain fever is an
infectious disease which may be
controlled by obedience to simple
rules.
This disease is due to a micro
scopic germ called the meningococ-
Gus. This germ grows practically
only in the body of the human be-
ing and dies within a short time af-
ter leaving it. Many people are
"carriers'-that is. have the germs
develop any symptoms.
The number of people who are
susceptible to the disease is small,
only about one in ten, but the large
number of carriers makes it essential
that everyone should be cautious lest
he convey the disease to others while
he himself shows no signs of illness.
1t is lot understood why some
people are susceptible and others are
not, although it is likely that it is
caused by lowered resistance as a
result of lack of proper nourishment,
exposure to cold, or fatigue. In
other words, the same conditions
which render one susceptible to
pneumonia and tuberculosis predis-
pose to meningitis. Like pneumonia.
the disease prevails chiefly in WIN
ter.
Since there are ten times as many
carriers as cases, it is evident that
to quarantine the cases is not suffi-
Gent to prevent an epidemic of the
disease. AS always. however, when
dealing with a disease caused by d
living organism, study of it's habits

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT

John Hanson, Jr, has a big job before him in his new
position as prohibition enforcement agent for Middlesex
county. His statement to Charles II. Brown, prohibition di-
rector Of New Jersey, who made the appointment, is at least
frank. Mr.. Hanson admits that he is not altogether in SYM
pathy with the prohibition laws. This is going to make it
hard to do the work cut out for him because to be at ones
best there must be a sincerity of purpose. One must believe
In what one is doing.
But Mr.. Hanson, according to his superior, has declared
that "unless I clean up MiddIeseX county I will resign, . That
is fair enough. Time alone will tell and it is evident that if
Mr.. Hanson finds the work too hard or too disagreeable he
will step aside and let someone else go at it who is more in
sympathy, perhaps, with the prohibition laws.
We are sure that Mr.. Hanson will have the hearty CO.
operation of every law-abiding citizen in his new task. There
certainly is room for a great deal of improvement over what
has been accomplished in the past.

EXAMPLE

In spite Of The fact that Newark has already annexed
several of the towns and villages that once were just outside
her borders, she is again clamoring for more room. And
when Newark takes it into her head TO enlarge she will do it
for she has men there who are big enough to tackle such a
project and put it across.
Newark has grown to be one of the greatest industrial
cities in the country because it never believes in standing
still. 1t is not afraid to tackle big problems. Not so many
years ago it started its present water system and bought up
vast tracks of land in Morris, Passaic and Sussex counties.
In some cases whole towns were wiped out in order to pre-
vent pollution in the watershed. The watershed IS worth
millions of dollars today. 1t took a great deal of enterprise
and not a little nerve to secure it.
One of Newark's latest moves is to develop the meadows
along Newark bay, spending millions Of dollars in creating a
port. More recently it has appropriated 81 100000 to dig
i channel in Newark bay instead of waiting for the federal
government to do it.
What an object lesson this is for Perth Amboy. Here
we are the same size that we have been for nearly a cen
Jury. Our waterfront is in about the same primitive state it
vas when the first settlers landed, as far as the municipality
is concerned. The city seems afraid to move. Hundreds of
desirable citizens are moving away and all we do is to wiring
our hands and say it is a pity.
If Perth Amboy will do a little studying of Newark's
progress it might help a great deal in making the future of
this city what it ought to be.

nation could prepare to defend itself.
Was not that a beautiful way fof
two civilized nations to utilize the
savage tribes, and by intrigue and
trickery among them which would
surely have followed, for each ma
ton to secure its own protection?
To their everlasting honor the
American plenipotentiaries refused
to consider this suggestion!
What did they do in lieu of buffer
states?
They dismantled their forts on
both sides of the Canadian border,
and trusted in each others good
faith and friendship.
We want no SavageS to help us
keep peace with Canada. Our un-
guarded boundary is the longest and
least expensive and safest boundary
on the face of the globe, because

1t looked to the world like a per-
manent occupation. The japanese
commanders in Siberia acted as If 1t
were one. They are there yet. though
we took all our men out in the spring
of 1920.
Let us be just to Japan. She has
always denied that such is her in
tention.
Important Move
If she does seek to annex this
northeastern corner of Asia, it is a
momentous thing for the rest of the
world.
For Siberia is twice as large as the
United States. 1t is a white mans
country. 1t has in it several Cana
das, many northern Wisconsins and
Northern Minnesotas. 1t is wonder
fully rich in coal, iron, zinc. copper,
! gems, furs, timber, oil and grazing
and farming land.
The japanese and Chinese have
lived near it for thousands of years
and nave not tried to occupy or de-
velop it.
They will not migrate to lands sc
cold and inclement; but it is perfect
ly fitted for Russians, Scandinavians
and all the peoples OF Northern Eu-
rope and for Americans and Cana
dams. There are several millions OF
white people living prosperous lives
there now, so far as they can prosper
in these times.
This coast is blanketed by Japan,
If she also occupies it, she will have
planted herself across the pathway,
from their homes to the sea, of the
millions of whites who will people
Siberia.
The Russians will come back. They
| will fight Japan eventually if they
must, to reach the sea; and they will
fight with the north wind at their
backs-and so fighting, they will
win.
But the peace of the world will be
disturbed.
The Disarmament Conference will
give Japan the opportunity. which ]
am sure she will welcome, to show
her critics that they have done her
an injustice.

MENINGITIS
Common Sense Ways to Keep Well

gives the clue to its conquest.
The meningococcus dies soon after
leaving the body and only leaves
the body in the secretions of the
mouth and nose. Therefore, in order
to spread the disease, the fresh Sc
c~retions from the mouth or nose of
a case or a carrier must enter the
body of another person. This is
usually accomplished by the common
drinking cup, by putting pencils.
fingers or other things into the
mouth, or by careless coughing or
sneezlng towards another person.
In order to control the disease one
nus exert the Utmost personal care.
Nothing unnecessary must be put
into the mouth and thus possibly
contaminated with germs.
The mouth or nose must be care
fully covered when sneezing or
coughing, or the head must be turn
ed well downward so as to prevent
the secretions flying into the air in a
fine spray which may readily reach
another person.
That these two rules assist in the
control of disease received strong
evidence last year. Placards illus
trating the rules were distributed
through the schools and the teach
ers were requested to post them and
lecture upon them. Many teachers
were interested in the work and en-
forced the rules among their pupils.
Obedience to these two rules will
also prove effective in the control of
diphtheria, scarlet Nyer, sore throat,
mumps, bad colds. grippe, tonsilitis,
tuberculosis, measles, w%hooping
cough and pneumonia.

LIGHT AND SIDEWALKS NEEDED

A correspondent writes to the Evening News to suggest
that a light be placed on New Brunswick avenue near the city
line as there is a stretch of about a quarter of a mile there
which is very dark and which is made more dangerous be-
cause of a bad curve in the road. Attention is called to the
fact that a motorcylist hit a boy in that vicinity during the
past summer breaking the boys legs.
No doubt the light is badly needed there, as suggested.
But the Evening News believes that the real remedy lies in
The construction ofsidewalks all the way along New Bruins
wick avenue to the city line. There is a great deal O. travel
on foot along that highway and with all the automobile traffic
it is extremely dangerous to have only the narrow roadway
paved. The wonder is that there are not more accidents in
that vicinity.
All the highways in this section are heavily Travelled
and, being as narrow as they are, there ought to be a sep
arate place for the people to walk. Perth Amboy is becoming
so congested within its present limits that there ought not to
be a spot left where there are not sidewalks. Let there be
Sufficient light, by all means, but a sidewalk to keep the
people out of the road is of even more importance.

The philosophy of the peace of
Versailles is to weaken the central
powers, and to separate them from
Russia by a line or group of small
buffer states.
These are Hungary, Rumania,
CZecho-Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania,
Latvia, Esthonia, and the rest, whose
names and geographical situation we
so vaguely know and whose political
status is such a puzzle to us.
More and more it becomes clear
how ! much of vindictiveness and
jealous fear went into the making of
that punitive peace. There was lost
an opportunity to establish peace
upon an equitable and durable basis.
In 1914 the plenipotentiaries of
Great Britain in conference with
those of the United States proposed
to end the war of 1912 on some such
basis. They proposed that a wide
neutral strip be surveyed across the
American continent and populated
with Indian tribes.
The theory was hat If either
Great Britain or the United States
should move to attack the other,
