building fund, the whole city ought to get be-

South Amboy legionaires have a building fund
well under way and the public is responding
most generously to the appeal. One of the
Memorial Day events at Irvington, in this state,
was the presentation by the town of a pretty
cottage to the legion post of that place as a
permanent home for the boys.
. There has been a great deal Of talk about a
memorial for the boys in this city who fought
in the World War. The boys, apparently. want
A. home of their own more than anything else
and 1t would be the fitting thing for Perth AM
bow to get behind this building fund movement
and see that a home is provided for them. A
handsome memorial building would not only
prove to the ex-service men that Perth Amboy
has not forgotten, but it would be a decided
credit to the city. The building fund OF the
American Legion ought to be put across in a big
way-in the true Perth Amboy way.

In spite of the almost unanimous demand Ir

United States leading the way, the senate mas
passed the navy appropriation bill carrying an
expenditure of $500. 900 900. This is a decided
increase over the amount appropriated for this
purpose last year and is even larger than the
amount provided for in the bill as it passed the
House this year. The people will look In vain
for economy here.
But the worst feature is that the bill Is loaded

payment for the development of a naval base

AS long as the people can be compelled to
pay the present high taxes in one form or an
other why should not the various senators get
all that is in sight for their respective states?
But the day Of reckoning is coming. II the

this secretion is the shellac of COM

O. What mourning should a

e G. X.
A.Emily Holt says that a married
woman should wear mourning for

considered better taste to wear
mourning for a year and six months
and then go into second mourning.
Second mourning consists of cos
tunes of crepe de chine or lusterless
silk, and hats trimmed with black
ribbon or flowers or dull jet orna-
ments. After six months white or
lilac touches may relieve the second
mourning. The wearing of mourn
ing is optional and a personal mat
ter entirely.
@. What causes the Aurora Bore

A. Scientists have never deter
mined with certainty what causes

to be no doubt that it is the result
Of electrical discharges through the

IL the autoist refuses to contribute or does not
give as much as it is thought he ought to give.
so common has this hold-up game become that
an autoist is liable to be stopped five or six
times in crossing the state and IL he is not
blessed with unlimited cash, he finds himself
subjected to considerable embarrassment.
The town or city where this unfair practice
is resorted to is given a black eye and an UNI
enviable reputation that is hard to overcome.
Newark does well to prohibit tag days and
block dances; it is an example that might well
be followed by other places where these priv
leges have been abused.

MORE FERRIES FOR NEW YORK

New York is to spend $4,000, 600 in the ex-
tension and improvement of her ferry system.
The ferry from Sound View avenue, Classon
Point, the Bronx, to First avenue, College Point,
will be put into operation as soon as the Classon
Point slip is completed, probably about July Is.
At about the same time the ferry from East
Twenty-third street, Manhattan, to Greenpoint
avenue, Greenpoint, will be taken over and OPP
Grated as a city ferry. About August / the city
will begin operating the ferry between Grand
street, Manhattan. and Broadway, Brooklyn.
which was abandoned some time ago.
I'm September the city will take over the ferry
Som Fulton street. Manhattan, to Fulton street.
Brooklyn, and those from South Ferry, Man
haitian, to Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, and to
Hamilton avenue, Brooklyn, now privately OPP
Grated.
The new ferry line from Cortlandt street,
Mammalian, to st. George, Staten Island, prob
ably Yin be in temporary operation about oc-
tobSr 1 and in permanent operation by the
fo1Pwing May.
4 me city will also build a terminal at Dyck-
! n street for the privately operated ferry from
4 uat point to Englewood. the company to pay
per cent. interest on the investment.
In view of all this ferry development, even
Including financial assistance to a private con-
Germ which operates a ferry from Dyckman
street to Englewood, 1t is strange the ferry COM
pany that desires to operate a line between
this city and Tottenville cannot secure even a
franchise for docking on the Staten Island
shore. That the new ferry here is badly needed
is evident to all who travel across the island.
Permission is all that is asked; the city Is not
called upon to spend a cent. Yet with s4.ooo'ooo
to spend on ferries elsewhere, the TottenVille
ferry is ignored. Apparently the Staten Island
Rapid Transit influence still counts big in New
York municipal affairs.
