1oPsIpEp STREET.

In considering street paving for the coming
season IL would be interesting to know what
the Board of Aldermen intend to do with Am
how avenue from Alpine cemetery northward TO
the city line. This is a part Of the state high
way, to be sure. and there is a narrow strip Of
pavement, the same as on the rest of the high
way in the country district. But the city has
graded and curbed Amboy avenue leaving the
narrow strip of pavement up against the curb
on one side while the rest of the street. at this
time Of the year particularly. is impossible.
1t is noticed that the %curbing on the west
side of the avenue which was set last year at
so much expense is being washed out, a regular
gully forming. Before very long these curb
stones are going to fall over and all the work
OF last year will be for nought.
Traffic is too heavy on Amboy avenue to
have ali the vehicles crowded over on the mar
row strip of pavement on one extreme side as
at present. Besides, it is no credit to the city
to have such a condition exist, not to mention
the waste due to the curb falling out OF place
because there is nothing to hold It.
There is no little danger. too, involved in
crowding all the traffic over against the curb on
the eastern side of the street. Surely something
ought to be done to remedy this situation on
The northern end OF Amboy avenue.

MAN IN THE LIVING WORLD

I'm almost sorry / began!"
Among the forms of life on this
planet, none Is Sc noble as man.
Considered simply as a biological
product. man is nothing less than
Natures sheer miracle.
Yet there Is on this planet no Or
ganism that bears about within itself
such a weight of misery and pain.
The lower animals have no surgery.
no medicine; and they sometimes
die for lack of 1t. Their lives are
sometimes saved by human inter-
vention. II they knew what we
know some of them that die need
not die. Yet they are more health&
than we. They use their littIV
knowledge with more wisdom than
we. As soon as we learn a law OF
health we violate 1t.
What have we to say to the forms
of animal life that we have passed
in the upward struggle, concerning
the use we have made of our superb
human bodies and brains? Our n
swer must be a pitiful apology.
AS the country clown discovered
in Moody's poem, they must gaze
with very mixed emotions upon a
race with noble bodies and glorious
minds-but very little common
sense.

REAL HIGHWAY SERVICE.

The State Highway Department showed rear
service during the recent snowstorm in clearing
The state highways Of snow. 1t proves that the
system is being perfected and that the
main arteries Of traffic throughout New Jersey
will never hereafter be closed, except under very
unusual circumstances.
Heretofore the railroads and trolley lines have
been the only ones depended upon for travel
ander such conditions as we have just expert
snced, but the automobile has revolutionized
trafhc in more than one way and keeping the
main thoroughfares open at all times and under
all conditions has become just as essential as
keeping open the railroads.
The fact that this service is being rendered
by the public officials has made it possible for
bus lines to operate even when ~trolleys, in some
Instances. were still tied UP. And the roads
were open for the bus lines without any ex-
pense to them, while the trolleys were compelled
to dig themselves out. Here is another striking
example of unfair competition between the troll
ley and the bus as they are now managed.
But that has nothing to do with the good
work of the State Highway Commission in get
ing the main roads open so quickly after the
recent storm and making It possible for travel
over the state roads to go on as usual. 1t was
an important test and shows that as far as snow
is concerned there is little to work about in the
future.

THE NEW pENTAL CLINIC.

Afsr long discussion and much delay Perth
.rhov "a about to have a free dental clinic.
Science and much study of the human oody nave
shown more and more that the proper care OF
the teeth is one of the first essentials to healtn
and right living. 1t has been found thai INSANITY
and even criminality are, in some cases. traeed
directly to the teeth.
great many people never think OF their
tseth until they have a toothache and they visit
. dentist only for the purpose OF having tne
aching tooth extracted. Many a child In scnool
IA unable to keep up with the work OF other
pupils and finally Is forced to quit school with
only a smattering OF education due primarily
To the fact that the teeth have not been properly
looked after.
with the establishment of a free clinic here
much of this fault can be remedied. The ex-
pense has been one of the principal excuses Of
fered by parents for not having their childrens
Teeth properly looked after. There is good rea-
son for believing. however, that it is the fear
Of the dentist more than expense that has kept
, great many away.
But dental surgery today is not the torture
Il used TO be. Modern methods have eliminated
much Of the pain and once the teeth are IN GOOD
condition they can be examined regularly and
kent in shape without any pain TO the patient
whatever.
Ignoring the benefits TO the individual 1t pays
the state and society in general to have people
in good health. and that means teeth in good
condition as well as other parts of the body.
A person who is fit in every particular is worth
, great deal more to the state than one who is
suffering from defects so common to the human
race. The state. therefore,, can well afford to be
liberal in maintaining clinics and dispensaries
where people who would not otherwise be treat
ed can be cared for free Of charge. 1t is a good
investment for society. Perth Amboy will take a
decided step forward with the opening of the
GENITAL clinic in this city.

'Yessir," said the Thin Man. I'm saving a
lot of money since / quit chewing tobacco. I
used to chew 40 cents worth of tobacco a week,
and that was 40 cents l wasted"
"Whaddy va do now to keep from chewing"
asked the Fat Man.
"Well," sighed the Thin Man, II chew q box
of tobacco cure a week. That sets me back
S1.25. Then 1 chew two packs Of gum q day,
and that's 20 cents more. I also chew 90 cents
of popcorn and some other fodder. And in
seven days I reckon I chew the rubber tops
off about fourteen pencils. 1 also chew about
eight penholders and a bushel of toothpicks.

MIR. HUGHES AT THE HELM.

The formal announcement by President-elect
Harding that Charles E. Hughes has been Of
fered and has accepted the appointment Of
secretary of state in the new cabinet will be
received with a great deal of satisfaction
throughout the country. Mr.. Hughes is one
OF the really big brains of the nation and
he is going to be a tower OF strength to the
new administration.
One of the reasons why Mr.. Hughes is partic-
ularly acceptable as the person to handle the
nations foreign affairs in the new cabinet is
his stand in regard to the League of Nations.
Mr.. Hughes is unalterably opposed to Article
Y. Of the league covenant, to be sure. but he
Is also on record as declaring that the proposed
covenant contains valuable provisions that
should be preserved and that under a Republic
can administration I'VE shall be able to retain all
that is good in the proposed covenant.
While the true friends of the League OF Ma
tons believe that Article X. is highly desirable
10 make the league all that it should be, yet the
main thing is to get the league properly func-
toning in one form or another with America as
ISOLATED with all the other nations OF the earth
IN carrying out its aims. The fine points can
be added later just as our own constitution has
been developed.
Mr.. Hughes is the right man in the Republic
can party to guide the policy OF the United
States in this direction. II he is to be given
a free hand in directing the foreign affairs of
the United States for the next four years. as
intimated by President-elect Harding. there is
every reason to feel encouraged at the outlook.
