FORGING AHEAD

Camden is one of the cities that is looking up these
days. For years this South Jersey metropolis seemed to be
sleeping the sleep of the departed. 1t was Perth Amboy
that was up and doing, striding ahead by leaps and bounds.
We would very much dislike to think that Perth Amboy and
Camden had changed places in this regard, but Camden
GAP no longer be said to be asleep.
We recently told of the opening of the first big munich
pal pier along Camden's waterfront and plans made for
more to follow by which Camden is making a strong play
for ocean shipping. Within the past few days the mayor Of
Camden has appointed a commission to plan for the future
development of the city and to study the changes that will
come with the building of the Delaware river bridge to
Philadelphia. The mayors action was in compliance with a
resolution of the city council passed after a careful study of
The benefits of the zoning had been made.
One of the aims of the commission just appointed in
Camden is to establish zones to which certain characters of
buildings will be restricted in order to prevent industries
from encroaching on residential sections. The idea is to
stabilize realty values.
East Orange and Paterson have recently had zoning
commissions at work and much good is expected from what
has been accomplished. 1t is nothing new for the Evening
News to point out to the people of Perth Amboy the advan-
tages of a city plan and zoning, but thus far little has been
accomplished here. We seem to be asleep with great projects
going on all about us while other places are thoroughly
awake.
In regard to our harbor, it. is interesting to note that the
Lehigh Valley railroad is spending vast sums of money on
a yard and pier layout on the Newark meadows. One of the
objects is to facilitate the handling of vast quantities of ore
used principally by the Bethlehem Steel Company in con-
nection with the movement of ore from steamers from Cuba
and the west coast of South America to the plant at Beth
lehem, Pa.
If Perth Amboy were really on the job it might have
been possible to have the Lehigh Valley handle this ore at
the port of Perth Amboy. Nobody seems to care whether
we get these things or not and so they go elsewhere. Al
prominent person in this vicinity remarked recently that he
had such confidence in the possibilities of harbor develop
ment here that if Perth Amboy were to issue a million dollars
worth of bonds to build piers to accommodate steamships
and warehouses to store the goods, he would gladly take
300, 900 worth of the bonds-and he was a man who
rould make good, too.
When will Perth Amboy wake up?

WHY HALLAHAN SHOULD BE ELECTED

Unless the taxpayers of this county want to go on record
as endorsing the record of the present Board of Freeholders
On the matter of patent pavements it will be necessary to
elect at least one of the Democratic candidates to the county
board this fall. The Republicans have seen fit to re -nominate
two of the present board who make no bones as to where
they stand on this paving issue. Their reelection would
mean an endorsement by the taxpayers of the policy of the
past year, which means approval of extravaganza in laying
patent pavements.
1t is fortunate that those who desire to show their dis
approval of the methods of the freehOlders in this paving
matter have a good man on the opposing ticket for whom
han, of this city, is a man well experienced in business and
public affairs. He has served three terms as comptroller of
Perth Amboy. He is a native of this city and, in private life,
has held several responsible positions. He is a man who is
thoroughly satisfied with the salary paid the f%reeholders and,
If elected, will give the county his entire time-which is
more than some of the present freehOlders are doing, al
though the law under which they were elected anticipated
such service. y
Mr.. Hallahan would make a capable and conscientious
county official. He would be in the minority, of course, but
as long as we have party government an active minority is
highly desirable. The principal reason for desiring his cleo
ton, however, would be the protest that such an election
would be against a continuation of the present policy of the
county board in the matter of pavements.
Mr.. Hallahan is worthy of any mans vote. AS a mem
Der of the Board of Freeholders he would give the taxpayers
excellent service. His election would be a formal notice to
the board that the preference that has been given to high
priced patent pavements must cease.

THE treaty which practically end

an international commission. The
door which had SO long been kept
closed by the Turks when they de-

was to fling wide open to permit
the passage of ships of trade or war

has already been accomplished in a

of the Dardanelles at the tip of the

Tradition has it that Jason and his
fellow searchers for the golden fleece
passed through the straits: and later
hardy Greek seafarers and colonists,

built great cities on their shores and
established over their waters the

CASTOR OIL
BY DIR. II. HI. BISHOP

The day is not long past when
castor oil was administered on the
slightest pretext for every and all
ills. Grandmother used to reach for
the castor oil bottle every time one
of the children had a pain.
But things have changed some-
what. There was a boy who
demanded castor oil so hal he could
stay home from school. The medi-
cines these days that are used in
stead of castor oil are so pleasant
that many a boy fakes a stomach
ache so>that he can play hooky from
school even though he knows that
ma" will insist on his taking one
of these physics.
The chief merit of castor oil is its
antiquity. 1t is said to have been
used back in the days of Egypt's
glory as the remedy for all ills. 1t
produces nausea in most cases; it
develops many of the most obstinate
cases of constipation in children: it
produces a feeling of hatred and dis
gust for medicine and doctors in
general that lives in many cases for
long years.
Castor oil is binding. That is one
reason it is prescribed for diarrhea.
Most all cathartics have a secondary
binding effect, but castor oil in par
ticular.
In these days when medicines are
so we'll advanced it is altogether
unnecessary TO make a child swal-
low castor oil when there are other
physics that produce the results be-
sides being pleasant to take. There
are plenty to choose from. There
is no need to select the crudest.

Drifts to Erect Peak Fire Station

Binding snow storms have been a
hindrance to the building of a U. s.
Forest Service signal station at the
top of Mount Adams, in the state Oh
Washington.
This peak is 12.307 feet high. Four
years ago material for building a
station was lugged to h peak n
the frame work erected. Then a
snow storm finally drove h build
ers down the mountain sides n the
station frame and all the material
was buried in a huge drift.
This summer it was
again and work was taken up. Then
another drift came and work mas
now been postponed until next sum
mer. The forest service has tele-
phone wires already poled 10 the
summit of the peak.
When the shack is finished nre

outbreaks of flames in the country
that can be seen for miles around.

fore by a forest fire. A wide area
was devastated. Glorious trees stood
brown and dead. The damage mount
ed into the millions.
A passing motorist had thrown
away his cigar stub, and it had
lodged in dry leaves at the roadside.
The daily papers last summer con-
tanned an item concerning a DIS
astrous forest fire near st. Johns,
New Brunswick, which left in the
heart of the burned district a tele-
graph pole beside the road. bearing
conspicuous and unhariled. a notice
requesting people to be careful to
avoid fire.

this pole with its placard should
have escaped. The fire-fiends must

WHAT'S THE NATTER
WITH US, ANYWAY?

, worlds creditor to the sum of more
than fifteen billions. and our entire
relationships to the worlds business
and the worlds interests generally
are completely altered-a change we
are tardily recognizing and the full
significance of which, apparently,
We have not yet begun to compre-
bend.
In brief, the betterment Of bust
ness in this country is not merely
a domestic problem, it is a world
wide problem.
Situation Improving
We are paying the bills Of mans
folly, ambition. greed, selishness
and hatred, nation against nation,
class against class, interest against
interest, and as long as these fac
tors in human nature are dominant,
all of the relations of men are dis
turbed by them and economic recov-
cry is halted.
When will this recovery be mani
tested? No man can foretell. 1t can
only be stated that fundamental fac
tors in the situation are improving.
There are concrete evidences of
gradual improvement abroad, and
there is reason to believe that we
have passed through the worst of
our defiation period in the United
States and will soon experience a
slow but material betterment.
This would undoubtedly be imme-
diately accelerated by the funding of
the railroads indebtedness to the
government on account of capital
expenditures made by the govern
ment while the roads were under its
'ntrol. That settlement, which
would provide half a billion dollars
for the immediate use of the rail-
roads. should result in a stronger
financial position for the carriers
and hasten the time when they can
make additional expenditures for
maintenance and equipment.
The stimulus to the steel and
other industries resulting from n
large scale expenditures by the rail-
roads would assist more than any
other single factor at this particular
time. perhaps, in overcoming the
present business dullness and in
providing employment for thousands
of men.
