VIVIAN THE POLES MUST LEARN

The newspapers of Poland, in a frenzy of
snger. are threatening that IAN army of Polish
heroes will be remobilized to fight Great Brit
ain, Germany, anybody or everybody"
The crouch of the Poles. as reflected in their
newspapers, is directed particularly at Premier
lloyd George of Great Britain, who is denounced
: arrogant, impudent and brutal"
The head and front of Lloyd Georges Of
nding, from the Polish standpoint, is that
insists that Poland keep her treaty pledges
I'd desist from a course of action which, If per-
isted in, bids fair to involve Europe in an
ether war.
After making every possible allowance for
the many injustices which Poland has suffered
during the centuries, even her most sympathetic
p~artisans must admit that since she took her
place in the family of nations under the peace
treaty, she has given many evidences Of I'M
willingness to play the game"
One of the things Poland has got to learn Is
TO forget the past and recognize that the rights
she acquired under the treaty are valid only
to the degree that she is willing to assume the
obligations that go with them.
The first of these obligations is to help re-
establish peace and good feeling in Central
Europe.
This can be done by manifesting a spirit of
accommodations and compromise.

THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM

Perth Amboy, is not alone in wrestling with
the problem of a crowded high school. We
read in the Trenton Times that "Paterson's
Board Of Education has the same kind Of
problem to solve that must soon receive the
attention OF Trenton's board-how to provide
accfmnadation for s.4oo pupils in a high
school building that was intended for 1900"
with slightly reduced figures, the Times says.
the problems are alike. And reduce the figures
u little bit more and 1t becomes Perth Amboy's
problem.
The educational system OF the country must
mot be allowed to fall down or the nation
Will become helpless. indeed. This Is a duty
that no municipality can afford to ignore. There
ts/no burden that is more cheerfully borne by
] fhe people than that of supplying an educa-
n lien for the coming generation.

RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason.
HOURS OF SADNESS

We all have hours of sadness,
when we abandon mirth, and talk
about the badness Of everything on
earth. Perhaps the grub we swal-
low has made our innards ache,
and we say life Is hollow, a grim and
CHASTITY fake. Perhaps some firm
is busted, whose stock we lately
bought, and we are sore disguised,
discouraged and distraught. Per-
haps the neighbours Dorking has
scratched our beans again, and we.
with language, corking, denounce
that active hen. But after eight
hours sleeping we're glad and gay
once more, and have no use for
weeping, and think that grief's a
bore. Unfortunate the mortal who
rises from his couch, and feels no
wish to chortle, but airs a beastly
crouch. Mans sorrow should be
driven by slumber from his mind,
for that's why sleep is given to
weary humankind. A crouch is, in
the cleaning a common thing with
us, for then tired men are combing
souls for things to cuss; their
feet are full of thistles, their whis-
kers full of hay, and no one sings
or whistle at closing of the day. But
in the brilliant morning, when all
the world is bright, the healthy man
is scorning the spectres of last night

THAT vEH1cUI4AR TUNNEL DEADLOCK

The trouble over the construction of the
vehicular tunnel under the Hudson river from
Jersey City to New York can be traced to a
bunch of Tammany Hall politicians going up
against some of Mayor Hague's gang in Jersey
CITY. Both sides view the other with suspicion
and each one is determined to get as much out
of the development as the other fellow. The
trouble seems to be to find out how much the
other fellow is getting. Hence the deadlock

poison oak &c. H. M.

/ pOiSOH Odh .-Ss II. M
A. The nearest thing to a specific
cure for poison oak, or poison ivy,
is a strong solution Of b~icarbonate
Of soda in hot water. If applied
after exposure to the poison, but be-
fore the rash has appeared, this will
usually prevent it. 1t will also help
after the rash has appeared, but the
affliction is not then easily cured.
If one goes into the woods where
the poison oak occurs, it Is we'll to

luton as soon as possible afterward.
Q. Who was the good gray
poet?"-A. NJ.
A.This term was applied to Walt
| Whitman, the American poet. by his
friend O'Connor at the time that
Whitman was discharged from the
Department of the Interior for hav-
ing in his possession a copy of his
own book, Leaves of Grass" The
book which has subsequently be-
come world famous and has been
translated into many languages.
| was considered immoral by many
| Americans when it was first pub
lished. Secretary of the Interior
Harlan found a copy of the book in
| Whitman's desk, read it, and dis
| charged the poet. O'Connor wrote
a pamphlet defending him.
@. Why is buttermilk supposed to
| prolong human life Pc. E.
A. The idea that the drinking of
buttermilk prolongs human life was
originated by a famous Russian
| scientist named Metchnikoff. He
believed that the acid in the milk
| destroys the bacilli in the major
intestine, which are a leading u
of sickness and death.
@. Under what circumstances Is
one eligible for the benfits of the
Carnegie hero fund?-M. w. Q.
A.. In order to benefit by this
fund it must be proved that the pro-
posed beneficiary voluntarily risked
his own life in saving or attempting
to save the life of a fellow being, or
voluntarily sacrificed himself in an
heroic manne for the benefit of
others. 1t is not given when the he
roic act Is done in the discharge of
a regular vocational duty. 1t ap-

THE BREAKDOWN OF CITY MORALE

Sixty-fve policemen shot to death in Ameri-
can cities in the past twelve months! That
is the terrible record which brands us as the
most lawless people in world.
We haven't the exact figures at hand. but
feel safe in saying that this figure ~sixty-fve
can't be matched by the total killings Of Of
fcers Of the law in all the other so-called civil
izeG nations.
Il isn't that a p~oliceman's life is any more or
less Valuable than that of the average citizen.
thatftheir killing by wholesale is so shocking.
is that each one of these murders is in
Essence an attack against organized society and
%hose who are chosen to uphold 1t.
( Most of these murders occur in the larger
cities. which we point to with pride as the fine
fruit of our democratic civilization.
Fine fruit, indeed!
The condition in the average American city
today judged by what we read in the news
papefs. which is a fairly accurate reflection
of life in them, raises the question as to whether
we/are capable of self-government.
lrhere may be half a dozen cities in the
q nited States of over 40. 900 people so managed
THAT those who live in them may be proud of
the fact.
We confess We can't name them.
And the tragedy of it is. conditions of life
from the standpoint of safety and comfort for
the average man. woman and child are get
ting worse instead Of better.
The great American failure up to now is in
municipal government.
III It is done better almost everywhere else in
the world.
The murders of policemen are simply a
symptom of the breaking down Of city morale.
R There are innumerable other systems. but
this is the one which at the moment is thrown
into relief and challenges our attention.

@. What is the metercitic crater?
&C. A. B.
A In Arizona, not far from Win
slow, there is a great hole in the
earth, hundreds of feet deep and
having almost perpendicular sides,
which is known by this name be-
cause scientists believe it was made
by a meteorite striking the earth
and burying itself there This hy-
pothesis is supported by the fact
that much meteroitic material is
found scattered about the vicinity.
1t is quite rich in platinum, and a
company has been formed to drill at
the bottom of the hole for the me-
teoritic itself in order to obtain
platinum.
@. Is it true that the famous
French novelist, lola, cured himself
of obesity by not drinking water?
A. Vibetelly, the biographer of
lola, records that lola was very fat
and that he reduced himself to pos
tive emaciation by drinking no liq-
uid with his meals, eating very lit
tie bread, and drinking as little as
possible at any time.

More than one writer has been
fascinated by the idea of selling ones
soul to the devil. Indeed, that
thought has served as the basis of
many a poem and plot.
The idea is that of a man bargain
ing his SOU to Satan for all eternity
! on condition that for a limited period
he may enjoy all possible pleasure.
The thought is most familiar, per-
haps. IN the tragedy Of Faust: but
that was neither the beginning o
the end of it..
You may find the idea in the Ara
bian Nights. and no one knows how
old the roots of that literature may
be. Balzac in THE Magic Skin" por-
trayed it. Oscar Wilde had the es-
sential idea in Dorian Gray" Stew
enson had it in his "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde"
All these authors were honest
enough to show that, in the end. the
game was not worth the candle. I'M
agine the terror of the possessor OF
all the wishes of the Magic Skin as
he realized that with every wish the
skin shrunk, and it's power of SEN
suaI qualification lessened!
How many times as his pleasure
began to pail upon him, must Faust
have regretted his bargain!
If there Is any justification of the

HOW GOOD ROADS HELP

Good roads mean better country schools.
They mean lower prices to the city man for
country products. They mean a vastly i'm
proved social life to the farmer, his family and
his employees.
They mean a general improvement in farm
life both as the tightening of labor and the
enjoyment of the better things of life, because
they will be so much more easily attatnble.
1t is estimated that more than a billion dol
lars have been appropriated for good roads
programs. The national, state and city govern
ments, as we'll as township sections, are going
ahead with in. Something like five hundred
millions will be available this coming season.
The cost of labor, material and the ability of
transportation systems to make good, will figure
in the ultimate outcome, but the movement
for good roads has a momentum that only COM
pletion the country over will stop.
The owners of 100000 passenger cars. of
900, 900 motor trucks. OF whom the owners OF
$500, 900 cars and trucks are farmers, know
that in this day and age the mud road is not for
them.

THE STORY OF FAUST
BY DIR. W. E. BARTON

exploitation Of the idea Of a bargain
with the devil. either in the opera OF
Faust or in a novel or in the movies
it is the plain lesson at the end that
the sort of bargain which the devil
offers does not pay.
But there is one mistake which
men often make with regard to this
matter, which is in supposing that
this is the real way in which tho
thing is done.
AS a matter of fact, men sell them
selves unconsciously and for very
much less than the devil is supposed
to offer in any of these works of hc-
ton.
Read the story of the next scandal
with murder following 1t, as it shall
,ear in this paper. and find, if you
are curious. when the bargain with
the devil was made and in what sort
the devil paid.
For the devil pays. Judas got his
thirty pieces of silver; Faust had
Marguerite.
But the devil is even more prompt
in his collections.
If you do not believe 1t. read the
Bible or the daily papers.
The reward of sin is death. The
devil gets his due.
But how little does the man get
! who sells out to the devil!
