SOUTH AMBOY

There will be a big public meet
ing under the auspices of Washing
ton Camp No. Sc. r. o. S. of A., to-
night in the X. of p. hall. Cards of
admission have been distributed
among the men of the city. Excel
lent speakers have. been secure to
talk on the work and accomplish
nents of this organization. 1t is I'M
derstood hat in the very nea: fu-
tore they will get under way a mon
ster membership campaign" All
members of Washington Camp are
urged to be on hand at this first big
function held under their auspices
in some time.
Representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce and city officials are to-
day in New York city attending the
hearing before Col. Sanford of the
Board of Army Engineers on tie new
Raritan river bridge. The local
delegation will oppose. keeping in
commission the present wooden
structure.
The members of the Common
Council will meet in executive ses-
sion tomorrow night for the purpose
of once more considering the bond
market. The city has several hun
dred thousand dollars worth of
bonds to dispose of and the council
is not taking any chances on making
a rash move. They are considering
the matter very carefully, getting ex-
pert advice on every hand and the
city will no doubt benefit by this
careful elaboration.
The regular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the South Amboy
Chamber of Commerce will be held
| Wednesday night.
In accordance with the notice
given by Street Commissioner Con-
nors, several sidewalks have been
cleared of snow. The street COM
missioner will live up to the letter of
the law and in the future if a side
walk is not cleared in accordance
with the provisions Of the ordinance
the city will clean the streets and a
bill rendered for the work.
Mayor Thomas j. Scully is pur-
chasing each member of the council
a badge showing his office. his ward,
etc. This sort of insignia is very
badly needed. In the future IL one
of the councilmen see an act in VOL
alton of the law they will have some
credentials to show for their office.
This will give them authority to in
spect the jitney buses. trolley cars,
etc.
Members of the Board of Health
are receiving congratulations on
every hand on their action towards
removing pigs. 1t is true. however.
that there are a few "kickers" who
still desire to keep the pigs. bu.
the majority of the people consider
them as a nuisance and a menace to
health.
The meeting of the American Le-
gion tomorrow evening will be one Of
importance. Every member is urged
to be present and express his views
on a project that will be presented at
this time.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 2S-President-
elect Harding has picked Andrew W.
Mellon, of Pittsburg, for his secre-
tary Of the treasury.
Ask anyone in Pittsburg who
Mellon is and you get this reply:
Don't you know Mellon? Why,
he's head of the Mellon National
Bank"
Ask the same man what Mellon
looks like-what kind of a man he
really is-and the chances are he'll
have to admit ignorance.
And this despite the fact that
Andrew Mellon was born and grew
up 1t Pittsburg and that in recent
years he has been associated with
countless phases of industrial ac-
tivity in and around 1t.
Mellon always has studiously
avoided publicity and Stunned the
spotlight. His retiring nature is
shown in statements of friends that
in his daily life he does not have
one single really intimate associate.
Pittsburgers say that Mellon
knows by name or sight but few of
the army of men and women en-
ployed in the Mellon National Bank,
of which he is president. although
he mingles continually with them.
Always Calm
He is a man of mild speech. He
Is deliberate in all his thoughts and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-02-28

actions and never has been known
to lose his habitual calm.
He is at his desk every working
day of the year and handles a sur
prising amount of routine details OF
his many financial interests without
displaying the slightest fatigue. His
spare moments are spent with his
two children. Ailsa and Paul, to
whom he is especially devoted.
Mellon has been president of the
Mellon National Bank since 1902.
He has made itNone of the leading
banking institutions of the country.
He also is interested in many other
banks. in cities in the neighborhood
of Pittsburg, and is associated with
Henry G. trick in the development
of vast coal. coke and iron enter
prises in western Pennsylvania.
He established great steel mills
at Donora, Pa, and built the town
which bears that name.
He Is one of the trustees of the
Carnegie Institute and is associated
with several charitable and benev-
olent associations. He has studied
social welfare closely and has given
large sums to support movements
he thought were meritorious. But
these donations always were made

shield him from publicity.
Pittsburg Native
Mellon was born in Pittsburg
March "a, 1852. After attending
school in Pittsburg. he entered the
University of Pittsburg, then known
as the Western University of Penn
sylvania, and was graduated in
1872. Later he was awarded the
degree of NJ. A. from that institu-
ton.
Mellon, shortly after completing
his schooling. entered the Mellon
bank which had been founded by
Thomas Mellon. his father, in 1869.
Associates say Mellon is the most
conservative and well-informed
banker in Pennsylvania. His abil-
ity and success have won him the
name in business circles of "the
man who never fails"
Mellon never has been politically
active. The Mellon family fortune,
including that of the new cabinet
officer and those of his two banker
brothers, is said to be second only
to that of Rockefeller.

Musterole is a clean, white ointment,

Many doctors and nurses frankly
recommend Musterole for sore throat,

Let's Be
Reasonable
We hear much talk these days
about "No Compromise"
about loss of Independence
and about the protection of
"Personal Freedom
These are strong terms. They should
be carefully used. They seem easy to under
stand. But they are frequently as mlSlead-
ing as they are wrong.
The husband is dependent upon his
wife and the wife on the husband. Each of
us is dependent on the other.
And as for comprise: all life is a com
promise. That is the only thing that makes
life either possible or enjoyable.
We must compromise at home and in
the street. No man is SO perfect that he
never makes a mistake. No man is SO wise
that he knows it all. Only the perfect man
has the right to say mo COMPROMISES
land he does not live.
The Nation that would be a Nation of
free men must be one that is bound to-
gether through united service.
A State Police operates in behalf of all of US.
It sees that Justice is done.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Most Towns Recognize imperative
Need of Improved Highways to
Secure Farm Trade.

The country town that has poor
roads radiating from it is badly handi-
capped, just as the farmer is who has
TO haul his products over such reads
Most towns recognize this and try to
get their share of trade by making the
main thOroughfares navfgable at all
times with tolerable loads. The town
that does not see the Importance of
good roads and the imperative need of
making them passable TO ordinary
traffic has need of the jolt that is not
generally long delayed.
We sometimes hear the expression,
"a poor trading place." and instantly
we know the meaning of it. We at
once know it refers to town that has
fallen into a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
and we are safe in assuming that such
a town lacks wideawake merchants
and the other necessary adjunct-goOd
roads.
When a farmer sells anything
whether it be his weekly batch of
produce or a load of hogs or one of
wheat or corn he naturally considers
the difficulties of the haul. Other
things being equal, he chooses the
road with least hills; and if the road
of least resistance has well graded
and dragged highways, the town that
is handicapped with steep pulls and
poorly graded highways always is a
loser. 1t cannot be otherwise.
A cornbelt town exists, primarily,
by reason of the farm trade. When
this reaches a volume that lines the
streets with farm teams any good day
except the busiest times of the year,
we can be reasonably certain that the
merchants and roads are both attrac-
tive. And the opposite can be inferred
when the streets are bare of farm
teams and cars.
Most towns recognize the value of
good roads as trade getters. Some
times the topography of the country
makes good roads and gentle grades
difficult When this is the case. more
money is expended to get results. And

find many admirers among women
who are striving to achieve the ap-
pearance of slenderness, and the 9TH
er will appeal to those who must make
up for lack OF curves in figures a
little too slender. The woman of nor
NAL weight does not have to concern
herself with these things, but only to
consider which style is most becom-

waistline and is embellished with a
little embroidery matching it in color.
The coat has a single fastening at the
bust line in link buttons, and they
form the finish for the plain coat
sleeve.
The box coat employs silk braid,
edged with a narrow plating of rib
bon and bone buttons for decoration.
A tie at the front of the collar pro-
vides a pretty new touch, and the
sleeves are relieved from entire plain
ness by three buttons and buttOnhOleS
at the wrists. Neither of these suits
accepts the fiaring sleeve, but both
adopt the straight skirt.

lums on their coats, and in others
that have the appearance of frOcks.
A few things are assured; among
them the success of the flaring coat
sleeve on box coats. the continued use
of embroidery, the vogue of slender
lines and straight skirts.
Two suits very different from each
other in outline, invite comparison, in
the picture above. One has a straight
box coat and the other a coat with a
ripping peplum. The first suit will

HATS have long been conceded the
4 L place of first Importance in the
matter of smart dressing do Won
ders for those who know how to select
them-but up-tO-date women are in
clined to dispute this supremacy.
BiOuses, smocks and small Coates or
jackets that will dress one up TO any
degree of formality are making things
interesting for millinery These bril-
liant garments rival hats in gay beau
ty and are the most convenient of be
longings, for they are not difficult to
make, and they tone up the wardrobe
without any great expenditure of time
or money.
A lovely example which may be
classed as either a coatee or a smock
appears in the illustration above.
Blue and silver are combined in the
supple tissue that makes a little coat
posed over a blouse Of filet net with
vest of embroidered georgette and a
girdle of blue velvet ribbon. This af-
fair is equal to comparison with any
