LIGHTS ON VEHICLES At NIGHT

One of the traffic laws that is being almost universally
violated at the present time is the requirement that all We
licles, including bicycles and those drawn by horses, carry
lights after dark. The first hour after darkness falls is the
most dangerous on the highways. The automobiles are us
nally blamed for every accident that occurs, yet were it not
for the lights on the automobiles, which almost without ex-
ception observe the law in this respect, many a bicycle rider
would be run down and wagons wouldsbe run into. While
it is the duty of the autoist, of course, to use every precau-
ton there is a certain responsibility resting on the bicycle
rider and the driver of the horse drawn vehicle that cannot
be ignored.
The principal offenders against the law requiring lights
on vehicles after dark, as far as the automobiles are con-
cerned, are the trucks and the buses. In this section of the
country darkness falls quickly once the sun goes down.
There is no period of twilight. Thus a bus may start out on
its run while still daylight, but before Metuchen or Roose-
welt is reached it is dark. The driver, however, seems to
think that it his privilege to finish his run before he puts on
his lights. Around $50 and 6 o'clock it is no common oc-
currence to meet buses running along the roads in this vicin-
ity without lights. 1t is a dangerous practice.
If the drivers of the buses are not going to take this
responsibility of having their buses properly lighted after
dark it would seem as if a part of the regulations under
which they operate should be that all lights should be on at
a certain time, which time changes according to the season,
Just as the street lights are regulated, and if it is found that
the time set for lighting up will come while the bus is on the
road between terminals, the bus driver should be COM
PEELED to light up before he sets out on that trip:
During these days when it gets dark so early many OF
the men employed in the industries in this vicinity who ride
back and fourth on bicycles are compelled to go home in the
dark. Few of them have lights on their bicycles. They ride
along the edge of the road and are extremely difficult to dis
tinguish in the darkness by the driver OF an automobile
coming up from behind. 1t is a wonder more OF them are not
hit. With the highway more or less congested with traffic,
anyway, and with the binding headlights that some auto
mobiles have, the vehicles without any light at all are a
Snens06 to life and property. They are deliberately violating
the law concerning lights on vehicles. For their own pro-
tection as well as for the safety of the highways in general,
should be done to have this law more generally

WATER AND PROSPERITY

There is a whole lot of satisfaction in the report from
lie water department that a decided increase is shown In
The amount of water being consumed by the Industries OF
this vicinity. This is good for the city in two ways. 1t lndl-
Gates that business is picking up; that the plants are opera
hing more than they have been during the past few months
and that more men will be employed from now on, thereby
reducing the number of unemployed here.
An increase in water consumption will be welcomed by
the city because of the increased revenue that it brings.
During the war with all the munition plants that were estaD-
iished in this locality in addition to all the regular industries
running at full blast, the city was hard pressed to supply the
demand for water. The revenues were so great from th1s
source that a reduction in water rates was made which, at
that time, gave Perth Amboy the advantage OF a rate that was
as low, if no lower, than the rate of any city In the state
When the armistice was signed, however, the munluon
plants were shut down Immediately and soon the general
business depression hit the regular industries which meant
a great loss to the water department. A revision OF rates
was necessary and even with that the water department
has found it necessary to ask for financial assistance from
the Board of Aldermen.
Conditions now are on the mend, however, and better
times are in prospect. The amount of water consumed by
the industries is a sure indication of industrial condition In
this vicinity.

PERTH AMBoY SCORES AGAIN

Perth Amboy goes over the top. That has a familiar
sound. How often it was said during the war when Liberty
bonds were to be sold; when the Red Gross drive was on
and when campaigns of every conceivable sort were being
conducted to raise funds and secure pledges to help make
the world "safe for democracy
But this time it is another kind of a campaign, but
Perth Amboy is among the first two to go over the top.
Salaam Temple of the Mystic Shrine, one of the most popular
orders of Masonry, is planning to build a new mosque in
Newark. The building is to cost 81, 100000. To raise the
funds the district covered by Salaam Temple, including all
Of the northern part of New Jersey, has been split up with
d certain quota assigned to each section. Perth Amboys
quota was $23, 200. When the various team workers met
in Newark Tuesday night to hear first reports, Albert Leon,
head of the Perth Amboy delegation, received a great dem
onstration when he announced that this city's quota had been
raised. There was only one other place to report its full
quota raised. II was a big showing for Perth Amboy.
The Shriners of Perth Amboy are to be congratulated
upon their wonderful showing. This is the way TO talk Perth
Amboy to bring credit upon the city.

Imagine the American West of
pioneer days going dry" 1t is a
difficult feat. And yet the latest
regions to adopt prohibition are the
three prairie provinces of Canada
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and AL
berta-which are to be compared in
some ways to such states as Kansas,
the Dakotas, or Montana in the late
eighties. The National Geographic
Society describes these most recent
recruits to the prohibition forces in
a bulletin issued from its Washing
ton, ID. c., headquarters.
THE prairie provinces of Canada
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta-are not without their bids to
fame. For example,:
THE last of the wild buffalo herds
Of America, survivors of the millions
of animals which roamed the plains
and woodlands of the continent, nov
ranges through northwestern AL
berta.
This province alone is estimated
to contain Is per cent of the worlds
known coal supply.
1.-THE myriad of wild ducks, geese,
and other migratory fowl that fly
northward each spring are for the
most part bound for the northern
parts of the three prairie provinces,
where they build their nests and
rear their young.
U. S. Weather "Made in Canada,
And much of the weather of the
United States is manufactured in
Alberta. This Is not an idle fancy.
The United States Weather Bureau
recognizes that a large number of
what are technically known as dis
turbances' originate near the little
town of Medicine Hat, a few miles
over the Canadian line north of
Montana, sweep down along the
roots of the Rockies, and spread out
to the eastward carrying in their
trains cold waves, wind storms, rain,
snow, and billiards..
THE three provinces are naturally
considered at once, for among them
they cover all of Canada which is
In process of being settled, west of
the older Great Lakes province of
Ontario and al of the Rocky
Mountains. This is Canada's West
where restless pioneer spirits from
all lands are carving out an empire
as spirits a generation or SO
ago wrought the wilderness of the
Missouri valley and the great Amer
desert into the rich states of
today.
Northern Boundaries Near Arctic
Circle
The Canadian pioneers have adj
vantages over those who won the
American West in that they have
better railroad methods and equip
ment, telephones and wireless. But
they nave a relentless new enemy in
the bitter cold of the northern re-
gions of the provinces. For though
the southern portions are separated
from the United States by only an
imaginary line and are similar 10 the
northern reaches of Minnesota.
North Dakota and Montana, of
which they are geographically a
part, to the north the three prov
inces sweep to within 500 miles of
the Arctic Circle.
The predominant part of the
population and development of the
three provinces is in their southern
halves. In this region Winnipeg.

RICE, THE GREATEST FOOD in THE WORLD

the pioneers used 1t, too. 1t is a
tasty and nutritious grain. Many
persons living in this country could
gather an abundant supply of this
valuable grain without cost il they
knew it when they saw It.. 1t is said
that the cultivation of the wild rice
is almost impossible because of the
ease with which it shattees.
The growing Of rice has had an
interesting history in this country.
Although rice has been grown in
the tropics since before written
history began, it did not reach this
country until about 1900. A bag
of rice was then brought to
Charleston, S. c.. on a ship, and the
cultivation of it began in a small
way. 1t soon became the staple
crop of that region and was grown
on the tidal marshes by the use of
much hand labor for machinery
could not be used in the deep mud.
Rice growing was very profitable,
but only because of the presence of
slave labor. The industry had the
honor of supporting the most aris-
tocratic society which America has
ever known-that Of South Caro-
lima before the war. The wners of
the great rice plantations OF that
state were the "a of the old
society. and most of the
legend and story about old planta-
ton days is based upon them.
This regime collapsed complete
ly when the Civil War took it's
away from it. The rice fields
to jungle and for a time
rice culture was at very low ebb in
this country. Then it began again
farther west, where 1t was grown
by different methods. permitting of
the use of machinery. . This west
ern rice farming is an industry of
recent growth. California marketed
it's first rice crop in 1912. The
leading rice producing states now in
the order of their importance are
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
California. Some rice is raised in
Mississippi, Florida. Alabama and
Missouri.
The rice produced in these states
is more than enough p supply all
the needs of this country, and more
rice could be raised. The general
use of rice, especially in it's unpol-
ished form. would givey the nation
one o great food crop of the
highest value.

His friend and biographer, George

Oh, glamor that man may not flee
