Editorial Comment From Other Newspaper
A FINE FERRY TRIP

Commissioner Whalen has approved the ap-
nlication of a New Jersey company which oners
FERRY service between Manhattan, TottenVlile'
s. l., and South Amboy, N. j.
Growth of the mountaineering business CIV
the increase of automobile touring are undouD-
tedly the factors which warrant the estapllsn-
ment of such a service. But in granting a iran,
chise. the Sinking Fund Commission shoulo
safeguard passenger rights and privileges.
With a schedule arranged to bring passensels
into New York in the morning committing nour
and hack in time for dinner, a new commutins
area would be opened if fares are reasonapie.
And il tho ferries have adequate provisions loI
passengers comfort the company coutd reis az
more than twice as long as the Staten lsland
service now gives.
Good service to South Amboy would mean a
big addition to the healthfui and restful al.

RIPPLING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
THE TWO EARS

10
I have two cars that keep me
broke; one is a gem, and n a joke.
One cost enough to buy a farm, and
it is but a false alarm. A modern
wagon, fine and fair, with all the
modern Goodads there; It CLEANS
and glitters in the sun, but, ali, the
blamed thing will not run. 1t will
not spin, it will not toll; it's cylin-
ders are pumping oil, it will not
start unless it's primed, the timers
wrong when it is timed, and IL along
the road it swings, it's always break
ing costly springs. My other TAI is
red with rust, but. gee, she surely
throws the dust! She clanks and
rattles when she runs. her pistons
sound like sawed of guns, but when
l hand her III the gas. you'll have
to hump IL you would pass. She
looks as though she'd fall apart the
next time she is asked to start. but
when I back her from the shed she
fairly pants to surge ahead; month
after month she snorts along, with
nothing broken, nothing wrong.
And I remark to my nine sons, The
good car is the car that runs. The
auto men teak wildly well. they try
to bind us with a spell: their cars
have this, and that. and which. and
all refinements rare and rich, with
mirrored doors and baggage racks
but when we get right down to tacks'
to chewing gum and hot cross-buns,
the good a Is the car that runs"

The women's jury question be-
m quite amusing. From what
we read in your valuable paper, 1t
seems there could be better judg-
ment used in choosing a Jury Of wo-
men who are interested in civic bet
terment suffrage and the right to
vote. COT which we are SO proud).
Women who have wanted suffrage
and worked and fought for it for
years, women who would delight to
serve In any capacity seem to be
overlooked at this time.
We have all heard from these good
women when we wanted them to sign
our petition a few years ago. They
told us then that they had plenty
to do at home and we're glad to leave
| such matters to their men folks
Bosh! We know II they were to tell
the truth it is because they might
| miss a movie or a card party which
| would be a calamity in their esti-
nation.
Please, Mr.. Jury-Picker, In the III.
ture look for some of the women
who wanted and worked for suffrage

We are willing to let h gooe
housewives sit back and let US az

sTHE G|LDED LILY" WITH MAE MURRAY
 1T STRAND TO-DAY

There comes to the Strand for a four-day engagement, starting Sun day afternoon at p. m, Mae Murray in The Gilded Lily''
 When Mae Murray flashed upon the screen in that record smashing .On With the Dance,'' brilliant and glo- Tious career was seen for her by the thousands of film fans and producers of pictures. She realized this predic- ton when she took the leading role in David PoWell's The Right to Love and now she is coming in what even the opposition picture makers say is the greatest production of it's kind ever made by any picture corporation.
 In this production Miss Murray is soon in the role of a salamander. a beautiful girl who takes all from her train of admirers and gives nothing. Surfeited and sickened by the hollow nnockery of the pursuit of pleasure, Instead of happiness, this girl herself clean and pure against the environ ment of the Great White Way. The story tells how she is made love to oy one of the denizens of the Great
 White Way and also by another. a country boy whose eyes are dazzled by the first view of the great night life of New York. Just how she finds out which of these men is her true lnate which of them has character and a heart, is most picturesquely told in this sumptuous production. It is revealed to the audience how this girIs who, to outward appearances Is an mclean thing. has heart so pure and so good that the right man of these two fulfills her promise to her self-that one day she would forsake the white light for a home, husband
