FOR THE TAXPAYERS TO SAY "Now

1t is a great fight that the Department of Institutions
and Agencies is putting up in behalf of the proposed Sl4,-
$1,000 bond issue by the state. There seems to be un-
limited funds coming from somewhere to finance the cam
paign in favor of the proposition. For a department that is
crying for more money with which TO carry on its work, 1T
would be interesting to know where all this money! is coming
from. The fact the $14, 600, 900, if authorized, will be spent
by this department on the various institutions of the state,
is significant.
For sometime, now, the etate has been flooded with
literature, printed, apparently, on stationery of the state,
urging the authorization of the bond issue. Employees of the
department have been out around the state carrying on a
campaign in its favor, evidently either neglecting the bust
ness of the department or else showing that there is not
enough business in the Office of the department to maintain
such a staff of employees.
But the latestastunt on the part of the Department of
Institutions and Agencies is to place page advertisements
in current magazines of nationwide circulation urging New
Jersey voters to vote for the bond issue. When it is realized
that nobody outside of New Jersey is interested in whether
this bond issue is authorized or not, one would think that the
advertising, if any is to be placed, should be concentrated
in the state alone instead of being placed in magazines that
have only a comparatively small circulation in New Jersey
but which go all over the country.
But if, as is suspected, the funds of the Department of
Institutions and Agencies are being used to carry on this
propaganda, it makes little difference to the heads of the
department how lavishly the money is spent, if, through
ach liberal expenditures, they are able to get their hands
ASi4, 900, 900 more.
AS we have frequently said, public officials will continue
their present wasteful methods as long as the taxpayers put
up the money. When all they have to do is to ask for more
and get il, they are not going to conserve what they already
have.
This bonding the state for millions and millions of dol
lars has just begun. These bonds cannot be issued unless
the people approve of them at the polls. The voters have it
within their power at the coming election to call a halt to this
lavish handling of the states money by voting mo" on this
proposed bond issue for $4,000, O00., To grant this
9H6hV issue is only to encourage further expendi-
tureAand more bond issues. The only limit is the limit that
is pIaNed by the taxpayers. If you think the limit has been
reachN already, vote mo" on this bond issue for Sl4 900,
900 at the coming election.

PLANS FOR BIG IMPROVEMENT

plans that make for a greater Perth Amboy have been
drawn by Louis Booz, of the City Zoning Commission work.
ing in conjunction with the City Plan Commission. The
plans call for the extension of Cleveland avenue, which is a
continuation of Convery place, all the way through the
Maurer tract in the northwestern section of the city, to Am
boy avenue joining with Amboy avenue at the intersection
of the Florida Grove road north of the new Barber Asphalt
Paving Company's plant. Also the plans call for the widen
ing of Cleveland avenue to seventy-fve feet.
With this improvement made there would be a straight
and continuous route across the northern portion of the city
direct from the new state highway bridge, when completed,
across the Convery place bridge TO Amboy avenue. Now,
before any extensive developments take place along this
route is the time for the city to act. 1t would make a broad
highway across the city, almost a boulevard in appearance,
that would be a decided credit to Perth Amboy and, incident
ally, would be the means of opening up a lot of idle land
within the city limits that ought to be developed in order
to relieve the congestion elsewhere.
The plan to have the automobile traffic turn out of
Amboy avenue into Brace avenue and then again into Cleve-
land avenue, is not feasible on account of the sharp turns
which are even less than a right angle. Besides, all the
traffic coming out of Brace avenue into Amboy avenue going
north would have to pass in front of the traffic going south
on Amboy avenue. The congestion and danger is readily a-
parent. With Cleveland avenue opened through to Amboy
avenue it would be almost a continuation of Amboy avenue
in a straight line thus avoiding the long curve in the road
at the Barber plant.
A glance at the map that Mr.. Booz has prepared shows
the possibilities readily enough. 1t is only one of the great
many things that can be done for the proper development of
the city if a little time and study is given the matter. Perth
Amboy can save millions Of dollars in the future by paying
attention to these things now. To wait until buildings are
erected and industries established will be too late. With a
real city plan including not only Cleveland avenue, but all
sections of the city and every phase of the city's develop
ment, the great possibilities here could be brought out.

BY DIR. IL. II. BISHOP

The prevailing theory in regard to
decay of the teeth is that 1t is
brought about by the formation OF
acids in the mouth. produced by the
fermentation of sugars and starches.
The Tactic acid formed is supposed
to attack the enamel OF the teeth
d%issolving the lime, the chief con-
stituent OF the enamel.
But the theory now most sup
ported and most probable is a sur
prising one. Decay. according 10
this theory, is brought about by
systemic changes in the blood.
Some bodies are more able to re-
sist disease than others while varia-
lions in weather and conditions
bring variations in the resistance of
almost all bodies. This variation of
resistance is believed to be due TO
changes in the state of the blood and
that high resistant blood contains
certain special substances called
~''SoZins."
Normal saliva has a highly pro-
tective influence on the teeth due to
the presence of these "sozins' or
lime content in the saliva. Thus,
it is a deficiency of lime In h diet
of the average American that is a
widespread factor in the universal
decay of teeth.
The average bill of fare consisting
of fine flour, bread. potatoes. meat.
coffee, butter, sugar, breakfast foods.
fruits, ETC., contains less than one
quarter of the amount Of lime neces-
sary to maintain calcium balance.
Dentists have long ago relin-
pushed the idea that the toothbrush
can stay decay. The toothbrush is
important and undoubtedly does a
great deal toward checking the pro-
gress of decay, but still more m
portant is a recognition of the causes
of dental decay.
To eliminate these causes requires
FIRST, an improvement in resistance
to disease by improving the general
health in all possible ways.
Second, a dietary rich in calcium
is required so as to make sure of a
high calcium content of the saliva.
Such a diet includes an abundance
OF green and fresh vegetables.
Whole wheat cereals should be sub
stituted for such foodstuffs as fine
-four. hominy. cornmeal, polished
rice and various bakery products
Milk should be freely used. especially
by growing children.
Third. the teeth should be brushed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-One of
the first devices by which a man
ever tried to fly has recently been
placed in the Smithsonian lnstitu-
ton in the form Of a model made
by Paul CARRIER.
CARRIER, who is but twenty-five
years old, has set himself the task
of making visible the whole history
of mans effort to master the air.
Smithsonian possesses the models
made by the inventors of many or
the early a~irships, and CARRIER pro-
poses to complete this collection by
making models of the others from
drawings and descriptions.
The model he has just completed
is that of the device by which Leon
ardo da Vinci hoped to fly like a
bird by the use of his own unaided
strength. The model is made from
drawings and descriptions which
he left. 1t appears not TO be known
whether the famous Italian ever
actually made his flying machine.
but it may be stated with the ut
most certainty hat he eve flew in
it.. 1t couldn't be done.
Leonardo da Vinci was, according
to all authorities, one of the great
est genuises that ever lived, and he
died a little more than 400 years ago.
When you look at his flying ma
chine it is well to bear both of
these facts in mind. Only a genius
could have conceived such an inge-
NOUS contraption, and only a man
living in an early stage of the de-
velopment of mechanics could have
imagined that it would work.
Did Leonardo Have the Big Head?
Even allowing for the fact that
Leonardo lived a long time ago. one
wonders whether he did not have his
tongue in his cheek when he de-
signed this flying machine. Or If it
was not partly a joke, then maybe
the famous Florentine had a touch
of the big head, to which even gen.
fuses are liable. He had been pro-
claimed a universal genius and the
great man of his times. He was a
great painter, a great sculptor, and
a great engineer. He was the best
anatomist of his day. He had made
scientific discoveries of the greatest
importance. Princes wed for his
services. He was a man of the high
est gifts placed in a rich and highly
civilized environment-that of Re-
Nuisance Italy-which knew how
to use them to the full. Probably
modern life is incapable of producing
such an example of intellect COM
pletely developed and completely tri-
umphant. That was the golden age
of the genius as this is the golden
age of the boob.
Possibly Leonardo. riding high in
the tide of success, a little intoxica-
ted by it, decided that he could do
anything. He had already done al
most everything. What was there
vet to try. He would fly. He was
a close student of nature and espe-
cially of the anatomy of animals.
He now made a special study of the
anatomy of birds. He ascertained
the exact design of their wings. and
also the exact ratio of the wing
spread to the weight of the bird.
Leonardo was a great athlete

UNDER SOVIET CONTROL

called the Cafe de Paris. Its man.
ager Is the former proud owner of
the Hotel Orient. He is q French
man.
People do strange things in the
name of liberty" is his summing-up
of the situation. AS a matter of fact,
they like this new liberty so well
that both poor and rich would like
to get away from It.
In Tifis some things are better
ordered than they were in Soviet
Budapest. There Is food to be had,
good food, and at not impossible
prices. There the comparison ends.
The street cars are not running, for
lack of oil or something. Anyway,
people might just as well walk, as
they have 10 special reason for get
ting anywhere quickly.
The homes of Tifis, once SO vast
and elegant In their hospitality, are
still outwardly handsome but the
interiors are different. Most have
been requisitioned and divided. with
their furniture slowly finding its way
to the pawnshops. One man, for
merly prominent as a politician, has
had all of his fine residence taken
from him and each time he finds a
furnished room, 1t Is requisitioned
at the order of some old enemy, until
now he has been made to move eight
times.

HASKIN TELLS OF ATTEMPTS TO FLY

off the ground. And a horsepower is
equal to about eight man power.
Suppose that Leonardo was about
half again as strong as the average
man, he would nave had to be never
theless about twelve times as strong
as he was in order to fly. His little
| device would have afforded him
splendid exercise, but no transport
tation.
Even if he had been twelve times
as strong Is he was, Leonardo would
probably not have risen an inch. A
bird not only beats its wings with
much greater power, in proportion
to it's weight, than a man has, but
it beats them much faster than a
man can move his arms. About $50
wing beats per minute are necessary
to keep a bird in the air. A man
could not possibly do that and keep
it UP.
One other point Leonardo over
looked. A bird does not really flap
it's wigs, as it appears to do. The
wing motion of birds is a very COM
plicated thing which scientists have
not yet analyzed to their satisfaction.
but they believe that the wing de-
scribes approximately a figure eight
in the cir. Leonardo could not have
executed such a movement with his
wings.
He never stood a chance to fly.
But if his body did not soar, his
imagination did. He OWNED that
man was to conquer the air, and
he initiated the conquest.
Paul CARRIER, who has made da
Vinci's machine visible for us, is an
other man of initiative. He was
hired by the museum to keep various
models in repair-a minor mechani-
cal task. Having mended everything
mendable, CARRIER looked the collec-
ton over and found that the model
of the first steam engine was so con-
structed that it could not possibly
have run. Accordingly he rebuilt 1t.
He then decided that the aviation
collection was incomplete. and set
to work, with much laborious re-
search, to make it a full record of all
mans effort to fly. He has now
nearly finished that job. and is at
present working on a couple of Ro-
man Catapults to complete the col
lection of military technology.

TIFLIs. Oct. 1 (By a STAFF Corre-
spondent of The Associated Press)-
This city under Soviet rule bears
many r~esemblances to another city
of unique beauty, Budapest, Hun
gary, when that gay place of opera
and fine streets and houses and
handsome people was favored by q
Soviet, under the ardent Bella Kun,
In the spring and summer of 1919.
Before that time both were wealthy
and well-cared for, despite a long
and disastrous Business was
fairly brisk. shops were filed with
expensive articles. with all that the
heart desired in adornment.
When the correspondent saw this
city of Tifis two years ago. its mag
nificent Georgian Club. a huge NUM-
cipal resort open to rich and poor,
IA the scene of unbounded gaiety.
Here public hospitality was handed
out broadly to all strangers. Its lit
tie theatre was filled with sgood
dancers and actors and singers.
Now. until the opera reopens, II Is

soldiers, its gardens filled by faded
street beauties of the other sex,

o the southern edge of the Bay
of st. George is the Salina de st.

measuring about 325 feet in dame
ter. but sometimes entirely covered
by the sea, which is a favorite with
the Papagoes. When they need
salt, the Customary methods lis to

peculiar to the gathering of salt,

is a wealth of fish and a multitude

Today these fish which would fur

La Paz. the capital of the south

THE new Mexican harbor at
Rocky Point, on st. Georges Bay,
which, dispatches state, is to be de-
veloped very soon, will open to pas
senger traffic and commercial de-
velopment O. rich portion of south
western United States. as well as a
part of the North American Conti-
nent on the Gulf of California that
is little known and explored" ac-
cording to a bulletin of the National
Geographic Society from its WASH
ington, d. c., headquarters.
The Bay of st. George marks
the northern limit of deep water in
the Gulf of California, and when
it's new harbor is connected by a
| short spur of track with the rail?
road already in existence, there will
be an all-water outlet through the
Panama Canal to eastern United
States for the mines OF Arizona.
Once, just after the Civil War, the
people of the Arizona mines had all
their supplies brought them from
California by water, the ships
steaming down the California coast
up the Gulf and the Colorado riv-
er to Yuma, n now it seems that
the old method of handling their
products will come into vogue
again.
Among Worlds Largest Cuffs
1.-The Gulf OF California, of which
we Americans hear so seldom.
ranks among the largest in the
world. If it were stretched out in
land over our country from e
York harbor, it would swallow up
a broad stretch of country from 80
to $50 miles wide back as far ass
Detroit and its busy factories. 1t
was shown on the early maps of
North America as the Sea of Cor
tez, since this bold corsair explor-
ed it first. Its depth varies from
coo to 5000 feet, its coast line on
| both sides is irregular, and in it are
many islands, Angel ue la Guarda
and Tiblron being the largest. The
latter island points it's rocky crest
1000 feet above the level of the sea
and is inhabited by a fierce n war
like tribe of Indians. the Serbs, who,
it is claimed, have cannibalistic
instincts.
Attracted Treasure Hunters
THE Bay of ST. George itself is
a broad open sheet of water on the
eastern side of the Gulf, about two
hundred miles north Of Guaymas, a
town of $4,000 inhabitants, on
Guaymas Bay, n of the most
beautiful harbors IN the world.
Rocky Point lies on its northern
edge not far from the mouth of the
Scnoita river. From its shores back
irto the country there are vast
areas of sand dunes. or los medanos
as the natives call them. In fact,
this term is applied to the whole
of the upper part of the Gulf east
of the Colorado. The mere name
recalls SENSATIONS of burning heat,
J trackless wastes, parched Threats,
ratalesnakes and other reptiles.
Though stories of the fabulous de-
posts of gold and silver existing
in this barren region are rife in
the neighboring country, little is
actually known of what wealth it
contains, as most of the prospectors
who have ventured into its lonely
reaches have never returned to tell
their stories /.
The whole OF this upper north.
