FOR A WIDER PAVEMENT.

Anyone with any common sense must realize
that the pavement on the road between this
city and Metuchen is entirely too narrow. There
is not room for two automobiles to pass with
safety. To add to the danger there is a trolley
track on one side of the road while on the OPP
posite side there is a drop of several inches
from the paved portion of the road with the
OUTER edge filled with holes and often with
mud.
But even when a machine does try to stick to
the paved portion while passing another car,
it is next to impossible to do so because at fire.
quent intervals there are ragged notches torn
into the edge of the pavement so that really the
only passable surface on the entire road is right
down the middle.
Add to this the number of buses using this
road and their refusal to turn of the narrow
discharge passengers and you have a situation
that ought not to be tolerated any longer.
But this is not all. This road. particularly
that portion between Perth Amboy and Fords,
is used very extensively by persons on foot.
This is especially true on Sunday during a
greater part of the year. These people naturally
like the hard permanent pavement for walking.
But the paved portion is so narrow and the
jagged edges so deep that it is impossible for
any vehicle to keep on the pavement one-third
Of the time.
As a matter Of fact, most cars except the
buses, which seem to demand the right OF way
regardless OF what is actually their right, make
Utmost the entire trip between this city and Me-
tuchen running with two wheels on the pave
ment and two wheels off. With the or por-
ton of the road in such a deplorable state and
so much lower than the pavement. it is not only
disagreeable and uncomfortable. but dangerous
as well.
In some places where there is a great deal of
travel on foot along a popular highway the au-
thorities have provided a sidewalk for the
whole length as we'll as a suitably paved surface
for the vehicles. This is as 1t should be. The
people on foot have certain rights that cannot
be denied. yet when walking on the paved high
way. especially at night, there is grave danger
OF a serious accident. The danger is greatly
increased on such a narrow pavement as that
between this city and Metuchen.
An agitation is being started by the Chamber
of to have this pavement between
Perth Amboy and Metuchen made wider. 1t is
a movement that ought to receive every en-
enlargement. This road, with the possible ex-
ception of the two main state highways that
cross the county, is without a doubt the most
heavily Travelled highway in Middlesex. That it
should have a pavement only. fourteen feet wide
Is ridiculous. The least that can be done is to
build up the side of the road to a level with
the pavement so that cars can turn out with
safety and ride along the edge of the paved
portion with some degree of comfort.

O. Why Is New York called
| Gotham?-F H. v.
A. The term Gotham is applied
to New York satirically. The allu-
sion is to a parish, by this name IN

like Key West. Can you tell herr
A. j.. S.

O. What is the difference in We

Q. Will butter made Of sweet
cream keep better than that which
is made from sour cream?-I. M. c.

Q. Are buffaloes becoming extinct
in this country?-H. B. A.
A. At one time there was a rea'
danger that the buffalo would dis

but 1,116 wild and tame buffaloe'
in the United States. Since then
attention has been given to the sit
uation, and the American Bison SO.
city reports that this number had
increased to 1898 in 1920.

FAMOUS FEBRUARY BABIES.

Maybe you are one of the persons who cele-
brate birthdays in February. II so, you already
know that the shortest of months is the great
est of birthday months.
TIC those others, who were not fortunate
enough to make their initial appearance on
earth in February it may be as well to call at
tention to the fact that quite a few celebrated
citizens first saw the light of day in that month.
For instance:
Horace Greeley, Aaron Burr, w. T. Sher-
man, william Henry Harrison, Samuel j. TIL

Joseph Jefferson, George Washington, James

Crusaders say their plans are ripe,

afraid to say what tragedies may
