the school sports it may be that Perth Amboy
high school will once more carry the name OF
the city into the arena for various contests IN
competition with schools of equal standing. IL
Is somewhat humiliating to read of footoah
between the different high schools of the state
but never to see Perth Amboy mentioned. a
suitable gymnasium will do much to encourage
the boys in making up this deficiency.
A school building so thoroughly modern In
every other particular surely ought to have a
gymnasium in keeping with the rest OF It's
equipment. It is to be hoped that the Board of
Aldermen will find a way to turn the building
In question over to the Board of Education. and
If there is no way at present, to have a way Gre

wise, it is to be hoped that when they get pos

it possible to convert it into a thoroughly up-to-
date gymnasium.

GIVE THE HIGH SCHOOL a GYMNASIUM

No better disposition could be made of the
brick building adjoining the high school prop

city stable than to turn it over to the Board Oh

a modern one and is in excellent condition. 1t

board decides to make Of it.

streets is becoming the educational center OF
the city. There are two schools on the DOCK
school No. 1 is being located directly opposite
the high school. The latter building with the
addition now being constructed will be one OF
the largest and most complete high schools IN
the state. Before very long the site now occu-

on the rear of the lot be turned over to the
school board to be used in connection with the
city's school system.
OF course. the Board Of Education will know
best what the building is most needed for and
they can be depended upon to put 1t to good
use. 1t is a fact, however. that in the c~onstruc-

PUBLIC OPINION
DANCE HALLS AND POLICE

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Now that the damage has been
done, / see by your paper that the
mayor and the chief of police are go
ing to investigate the dance halls and
are to have the Board of Aldermen
pass an ordinance which Will here
after cause any lodge, club or or
E%ganization to obtain a permit before
a dance can be held. Even so. with
such rules in effect there is bound
to be a disturbance at some of these
dances unless a uniformed police
man is on hand to prevent n And
unless a man is detailed to be on
duty at a dance only some other beat
in the city Is going TO be neglected.
A good many of our citizens do not
know hat the patrolmen must make
half hour calls from the call boxes,
which in order to escape discipline
he has all he can do to rush from one
box to another to cover up these half
hour rings, and he has no time what
soever to hang around a dance hall
| and try to keep order so /. for one,
am in favor of going on record to
| restore to the hour rings which VIII
give a patrolman time to cover his

where the occurrence of last Thurs
day night could nave been prevented
had some in a position to be on
the job been on the job. About a
week previous there also was a dance
in the Auditorium where there was
a little trouble and one man wa
taken in custody. When he arrived
at City Hall one of our city officials
was there and through his influence
he was allowed to go free Che was
old enough to vote1. Then. when
Thursday came and another dance,
the same crowd was on hand and,
getting off easy a week previous, they
had the idea they all had a pull be-
cause it is almost election day. But
on primary election eve, a crowd OF
children ranging from h g of ten
to fifteen years was swooped down
upon by a squad of cops for raising
a disturbance and five of them were
arrested and fined ten dollars each
and a few were kept at the police
station over night. If this is Perth
Amboy justice that also should b'
investigated. The ones who know
are allowed to go. but when a few
children are enjoying themselves and
celebrating the election they are
fined, which does not affect the chill

Ching-teh-chen. possibly a strang-
err city to the average American,
needs only this introduction: 1T is
the home of chinaware."
One of a series of bulletins of the
National Geographic Society upon
Where Our Imports Come From
quotes from a communication 10 the
Society by Frank B. LEM, as follows:
The greatest industrial city OF
China is not one of the treaty ports
where the direct influence of West
ern is constantly felt. but a
bustling interior city of Kiangsi Pro-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. This is the
famous porcelain and pottery center
of the nation-indeed, it is the orig
inal home of the porcelain industry
of the world.
There are few cities in America
or Europe that are so completely
given over TO a single industry as this
one.
"Chinaware, What does the word
| connote? 1t is simply a ware made
| of clay and named for the country
that Srst produced it. Whether 1t be
a green tile from a temple roof, a
dish, a Vase. or a painted ornament
from a wealthy Celestiafs home, II
all has a traceable connection with
| Ching-teh-chen. With the Chinese
Chin -teh-chen and porcelain are
synonymous.
"Ching-teh-chen Clown of Scenic
Virtue') is n OF the four largest
towns of China. Technically. it Is a
town, because 1t has no wall, In
reality it is a busy industrial city
of 100000 people, two-thirds OF
whom are engaged in the manufac-
tire and sale of porcelain. Roman
tically. it is a city to stir mems souls.

used by the Chinese in referring to
the composition of porcelain-'c'hl

strength and brittleness to a vase or
bowl. while the latter adds resiliency
and toughness. Unless these clays
are mixed in the right proportions,
the vessels will either sag or crack
when placed in the furnace.
Technically. the bone clay is ka-

COOPERATION?
By DIR. W. e. BARTON

If one pugilist is about to engage
in battle with another he hires a
trainer, and he does not hire one
who can never hit him. : He hires
one who will hit him and hit him
hard unless he does his very best.
In that way he grows strong and
capable.
We ought to be very thankful for
competition. 1t is the thing that
spurs us on, and renders us capable
of heroism.
In a land where the bread-palm
drops it's fruit into the open mouth
of the native below, there may be
life without effort, and success with
out competition. But in all the
places where a civilized man would
care to live, success must be won
by striving.
And there will always be more
striving than success. The man who
| attains success must expect to earn
| it, and he should be glad of the mar
who by competition makes him labor
for what he gets.

Appendicitis

Appendicitis
Appendicitis occurs four times as
often in the case of men as In wo.
men, a strange fact which has never
been satisfactorily explained.
1t is now easy to tell the causes
of tuberculosis or typhoid fever. bue
the causes of Inflammation of the ap-
pendix have not yet been dehniteiyI
determined. n
The appendix itself Is an orgd
quite rudimentary. 1t represents a
important part of the large intesJ
tine, still present in some Of the
lower forms of animals. but which
in the course of human evolution has
in man become so small as to be OF
no use. 1t is about two and a hair
to three inches long and its walls are
so thick that its cavity Is only as
large as the head of a blue pencil
If some minute particle of undl.
gested food gets into and remains in
the appendix. it irritates the walls,
and Inflammation is speedily started
as the result of germ activity.
The Inflammation causes swelling
which in turn interferes with the cir.
culation of the blood in this region
If the swelling continues. gangrene
or a death of the tissues OF the mus
CuIdr wall ctIS Al. IL
breaks as it often does shortly after
the attack. the poisonous germs or
Inflammation escape among the coils
of the intestine.
These are the reasons why an at
tack of appendicitis with gangrene
and rupture are often fatal despite
an operation.
Disorders of digestion are causes
of appendicitis. Haste in eating, In.
digestible food, lack of proper chew
ing and disorders Of the stomach
| all aid to this end. All these things
should be watched out for. Besides.
| one should take sufficient fluid into
the system, not at meals. but dis
tributed throughout the day.
In suspected cases of appendicitis
there are several things which an
intelligent person car do at the on
set of an attack. real or suspected
that are quite as efficient as any
thing that can be done by a ply
sician. Mere pain in the right side
is not necessarily due to Appendix
| citis. 1t is often due to acute in.
digestion with resulting collie.
A tablespoonful of castor oil with
an equal amount of glycerin In a
| glass of iced lemonade can be taken
at once by a person who believes he
has appendicitis. After the oil has
been taken If the pain still persists.
the victim should go to bed at once
and a well-flled ice bag should be
| placed over the painful portion keep
ing it there until competent surgical
attention may be secured.
