Y. NJ. C. a. WEEK

This is Y. NJ. C. A. week for Perth Amboy. The annual
membership drive is on, teams have been organized and
everybody connected with the big Institution on jefferson
street is up and doing.
The campaign started off in smashing style last night.
All the team workers had supper together and listened to
inspiring addresses; there was lots of singing and plenty of
pep everywhere. If there ever was a campaign that
started under the most favorable circumstances this is the
one.
And why should not every man, and woman, too, get
behind the Y. NJ. C. A. with all the enthusiasm that one pos
sesses? What organization has done more for Perth Amboy?
What could be grander and nobler than to train young men
and boys to be honest and upright in their associations with
their fellows; clean and honorable in their sports? That is
what the Y. NJ. G.. A. is doing for hundreds of Perth Amboy
boys today.
Yes, and it is now starting out along the same lines
with the girls. Every Wednesday has been given to the
women and girls when they have the full use of the Y. M. C.
a. building. AS a result a new interest has been aroused in
the association.
It is something that is well worth while and every citi-
zen, whether he takes advantage of the privileges of the in
stitufion or not, ought to be glad to help support it for the
GOOD it does. 1t is an assent of which we all may feel proud.
Y. NJ. C. A. week ought to be a big occasion in Perth
Amboy. 1t can be made so by everybody doing his part to
make the coming year even greater than those that have
preceded.

BY DIR. r. III. BISHOP

Meningitis or brain fever is an
infectious disease which may be
controlled by obedience TO simple
rules.
This disease is due to a micro
scopic germ called the meningococ-
Gus. This germ grows practically
only in the body of the human be-
ing and dies within a short time af-
ter leaving it. Many people are
"carriers'-that is. have the germs
in the mouth and nose but do not
develop any symptoms.
The number of people who are
susceptible to the disease is small,
only about one in ten, but the large
number of carriers makes 1t essential
that everyone should be cautious lest
he convey the disease to others while
he himself shows no signs of illness.
1t is not understood why some
people are susceptible and others are
not, although ii is likely that it is
caused by lowered resistance as a
result of lack of proper nourishment,
exposure to cold, or fatigue. In
other words, the same conditions
which render n susceptible to
pneumonia and tuberculosis predis-
pose to meningitis. Like pneumonia,
the disease prevails chiefly in win
ter.
Since there are ten times as many
carriers as cases, it is evident that
to quarantine the cases is not sufi-
cient to prevent an epidemic of the
disease. AS always. however, when
dealing with a disease caused by a
living organism, study of its habits

EXAMPLE

In spite of the fact that Newark has already annexed
several of the towns and villages that once were just outside
her borders, she is again clamoring for more room. And
when Newark takes it into her head to enlarge she will do it
for she has men there who are big enough to tackle such a
project and put it across.
Newark has grown to be one of TIE greatest industrial
cities in the country because it never believes in standing
still. It is not afraid to tackle big problems. Not so many
years ago it started its present water system and bought up
vast tracks of land in Morris, Passaic and Sussex counties.
In some cases whole towns were wiped out in order to pre-
vent pollution in the watershed. The watershed is worth
millions of dollars today. 1t took a great deal of enterprise
and not a little nerve to secure it.
One Of Newark's latest moves is to develop the meadows
along Newark bay, spending millions of dollars in creating a
port. More recently it has appropriated 81 100000 to dig
j channel in Newark bay instead of waiting for the federal
government to do it.
What an object lesson this is for Perth Amboy. Here
we are the same size that we have been for nearly a CEN
fury. Our waterfront is in about the same primitive state it
was when the first settlers landed, as far as the. municipality
is concerned. The city seems afraid to move. Hundreds of
desirable citizens are moving away and all we do is to wiring
our hands and say it is a pity.
If Perth Amboy will do a little studying of Newariis
progress it might help a great deal in making the future Of
this city what it ought to be.

each would have enough allies
among the Indians to hold the at
lacking nation back until the other
nation could prepare to defend itself.
Was not that a beautiful way for
two civilized nations to utilize the
savage tribes. and by intrigue and
trickery among them which would
surely have followed, for each ma
ton to secure its own protection?
To their everlasting honor the
American plenipotentiaries refused
to consider this suggestion!
What did they do in lieu Of buffer
states?
They dismantled their forts on
both sides of the Canadian border,
and trusted in each others good
faith and friendship.
We want no savages to help us
keep peace with Canada. Our un-
guarded boundary is the longest and
least expensive and safest boundary
on the face of the globe, because
there r neither buffer states nor
forts.
They did not do 1t very we'll at

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT

John Hanson, Jr, has a big job before him in his new
position as prohibition enforcement agent for Middlesex
county. His statement to Charles II. Brown, prohibition d-
rector of New Jersey, who made the appointment, is at least
frank. Mr.. Hanson admits that he is not altogether in SYM
pathy with the prohibition laws. This is going to make it
hard to do the work cut out for him because to be at ones
best there must be a sincerity of purpose. One must believe
In what one is doing.
But Mr.. Hanson, according to his superior, has declared
that 'unless I clean up Middlesex county l will resign" That
is fair enough. Time alone will tell and it is evident that if
Mr.. Hanson finds the work too hard or too disagreeable he
will step aside and let someone else 90 at it who is more in
sympathy, perhaps, with the prohibition laws.
We are sure that Mr.. Hanson will have the hearty CO.
operation of every law-abiding citizen in hisnew task. There
certainly is room for a great deal of improvement over what
has been accomplished in the past.

MENINGITIS
Common Sense Ways to Keep Well

gives the clue to its conquest.
|, The meningococcus dies soon after
leaving the body and only leaves
the body in the secretions of the
mouth and nose. Therefore, in order
to spread the disease, the fresh Sc
cretions from the mouth or nose of
a ease or a carrier must enter the
body of another person. This is
usually accomplished by the common
drinking cup, by putting pencils,
fingers or other things into the
mouth. or by careless coughing or
~sneezing towards another person.
In order to control the disease one
must exert the utmost personal care.
Nothing unnecessary must be put
into the mouth and thus possibly
contaminated with germs.
The mouth or nose must be care
fully covered when sneeZing or
coughing, or the head must be turn
ed well downward so as to prevent
the secretions flying into the air in a
fine spray which may readily reach
another person.
That these two rules assist in the
control of disease received strong
evidence last gear. Placards illus
trating the bles were distributed
through thefD hools and the teach
ers were requested to post them and
lecture upon them. Many teachers
were interested in the work and en-
forced the rules among their pupils.
Obedience to these two rules will
also prove effective in the control of
d~iphtheria, scarlet fever, sore throat,
mumps, bad colds, grippe, tonsilitis,
tuberculosis, measles, whooping
cough and pneumonia.

BY HERBERT QUICK

WASHINGTON, Oct. lin some
respects Japan is magnificently en-
dowed, not only for legitimate, but
for Legitimate development.
She has an industrious. a teacha-
BILE. an intelligent population, and
she has developed a high civilization
of her own, on which she has en-
grated the civilization of the west
err world.
She has a productive soil, scanty
in area for her prolific people. Her
greatest enemy is her high birthrate,
But her geographical position is
the most wonderful on earth. Look
at the map. Japan lies, a great semi
circle of islands, hemming the Sea
of Japan in like a barbed-wire fence;
and this sea measured from north to
south is twice as long as the longest
diameter of the Gulf of Mexico.
All the western coast of the Pa
ciic from the lands of ice to the lati-
tude of Cuba fronts seward on
japanese possessions.
L do not know of any nation capa-
BILE of making better use of these ad-
vantages than Japan: better use for
her own benefit and that of the
world. But she must not feel hurt
in her pride if the rest of the world
would like to know how she means
to use it.
For she can use it for good or for
general harm; legitimately or ille-
ultimately; for peace or for war; for
the val of commercial and indus
trial aggression; for the wars of
armies or navies.
Japan I'm Siberia
And this brings US to another
great question which I feel sure
must be settled in the Disarmament
Conference-Japan's occupation of
Eastern Siberia.
When the allies decided to enter
Siberia from the east during the
late var the United States sent in
some 1900 troops.

JAPAN'S OCCUPATION
OF SIBERIA IS PERIL

I arms in the one town Of V~ladivostok
many more than we sen in all.
1t looked to the world like a per-
manent occupation. The Japanese
commanders in Siberia acted as if it
were one. They are there yet. though
we took all our men out in the spring
of 1920.
Let us be just to Japan. She has
always denied that such is her in
tention.
Important Move
If she does seek to amer this
northeastern corner of Asia, it is a
momentous thing for the rest of the
world.
For Siberia is twice as large as the
United States. 1t is a white mans
country. 1t has in it several Cana
das, many northern Wisconsins and
Northern Minnesotas. 1t is wonder
fully rich in coal, iron, zinc, copper.
gems, furs, timber, oil and grazing
and farming land.
The Japanese and Chinese have
lived near 1t for thousands of years
and have not tried to occupy or de-
velop it.
They will not migrate to lands so
cold and inclement; but 1t is perfect
ly fitted for Russians, Scandinavians,
n all the peoples of Northern Eu-
rope and for Americans and Cana
dams. There are several millions of
white people living prosperous lives
there now. so far as they can prosper
in these times.
This coast is blanketed by Japan.
If she also occupies it, she will have
planted herself across the pathway,
from their homes to the sea, of the
millions of whites who will people
Siberia.
The Russians will come back. They
will fight Japan eventually if they
must, to reach the sea-; and they will
fight with the north wind at their
backs-and so fighting, they will
win.
But the peace of the world will be
disturbed.
The Disarmament Conference will
give Japan the opportunity, which I
am sure she will welcome, to show
her critics that they have done her
all injustice.

LIGHT AND SIDEWALKS NEEDED

A correspondent writes TO the Evening News TO suggest
that a light be placed on New Brunswick avenue near the iy
line as there is a stretch of about a quarter of a mile there
which is very dark and which is made more dangerous be-
cause of a bad curve in the road. Attention is called to the
fact that a motorcylist hit a boy in that vicinity during the
past summer breaking the boys legs.
No doubt the light is badly needed there, as suggested.
But the Evening News believes that the real remedy lies in
The construction of sidewalks all the way along New Bruins
wick avenue to the city line. There is a great deal of travel
on foot along that highway and with all the automobile traffic
# is extremely dangerous to have only the narrow roadway
paved. The wonder is that there are not more accidents in
that vicinity.
All the highways in this section are heavily travelled
and, being as narrow as they are, there ought to be a sep
arate place for the people to walk. Perth Amboy is becoming
so congested within its present limits that there ought not to
be a spot left where there are not sidewalks. Let there be
Sufficient light, by all means, but a sidewalk to keep the
people out of the road is of even more Importance.

dia. Their great Tombs of Silence
on the slopes of Malabar hill in
Bombay. where loathsome vultures
await their gruesome opportunity
as consumers of corpses, stand as
present day reminders of political
and religious forces which removed
the Parsis from their ancestral
homes and placed them in control of
modern finance at the gateway to
India.
The modern city of Baku is a
combination of the new and the old,
of the East and the West. Since the
establishment of the Azerbaijan re-
public and the selection of Baku as
its capital. some changes have been
made. But in general Baku is what
it was before the war.
I'm the spring of 1918 there was
sharp fighting between the Chris
tians and the Tartars for control of
the region. At this time a large
part of the Tartar section was de-
stroyed by shell fire from the Cas-
plan. The romantic Kis-Kale or
Virgin Tower, which the Tartars
used as an observation post still
bears the marks of shell fire which
however. failed to do serious dam
age to Byzantine walls. The ancient
walls of the old Tartar citadel bear
pock-mark lines which join the
apertures in the battlements and
which show where Russian and Ar
menian machine guns sprayed the
ramparts and drove the Tartar
fighters from their best points OF
vantage. Then came the British,
with a small force from Enzeli. But
they soon withdrew, leaving a badly
mixed problem to find its own solu-
lions.
THE Baku oil fields in 1917, in
the midst Of war and revolution,
produced near fifty million barrels
of oil. But during the winter OF
1917-1S, labor troubles and the
closing of the $40 mile pipe line to
Batum on the Black Sea reduced the
output. Political and social unrest
have demoralized the oil industry
which in Baku had reached a high
degree of efficiency.
Riches of Baku Furnish Peace Prizes
During the troubles of 1918,
there were frequent threats by va
rious factions that the wells of this
famous region would be fired t. keep
them from falling under foreign
control.
"Baku was the field in which AL
fred b. Nobel, already noted as the
inventor of dynamite and for his
success as a manufacturer Of ex-
plosives, gained the fortune which
on his death was partly devoted to
the establishment of the Peace Prize
and the almost equally famous prizes
for distinction in physical science
