lBy Evening News correspondent
METUCHEN. Feb. 2S.-The rain
of the last two days has aided ma
terially in disposing of much OF the
snow which fell in this borough last
week. Although Main street still is
in a bad condition on account of lit
tie effort being made to remove the
snow. the sidewalks in the borough
are in good condition. Sidewalks in
front of vacant property are not
cleaned, and the councilmen have
not taken any action to enforce the
ordinance. The boy scouts have
taken the snow away from the fire
plugs in the borough. relieving a
dangerous condition.
The bitches along the Lincoln
highway in this borough are a mem
ace to automobile traffic. A number
of ears skidded over the weekend
as a result of this condition. but no

FORDS, Feb. 2S.-The condition
of New Brunswick yer this morn
ing is the worst it has been since
the time the curbing was laid and
the several connections were
made. The ruts and holes have
been washed out by the snow melt
ing and the heavy rains of yester-
day and last night. and the ashes
that were put In these bad places
proved that the road cannot be kept
In repair much longer this way. The
cost is too great and the results too
small.
Besides the old ruts. there are
several new places that have APP
peared in the middle of the road
from Rogan's corner to Paul street.
this section rs dirt and stones have
been washed on the tracks and
the water flowing over the tracks
made II difficult for the motorman
TO see where the stones are.
The sewer lines on either side of
the road have settled and in many
places a crust of snow and ashes
has formed on the top of the
trenches. The same condition ex-
lists In the middle of the road where
the sewer connections have been
made a short time ago.
One Of Axel's buses ran into one
of the holes on the side of the road
early this morning and suddenly
sank into the trench. The
only thing that saved the bus from
turning over was the fact that the
dirt piled up under the a as it
fell through the crust over the hole
In the trench. The car is so mired
in the mud that efforts to pull 1t
out are unsuccessful. None of the
passengers in the bus were reported

Several other cars have been
stuck in the mud during last night

TRAFFIC BADLY
HIT BY STORM
Makes Roads to Metuchen

able; Narrow Escapes.

Weather conditions yesterday
greatly hampered travel in and out
of the city during the entire day.
Starting early yesterday morning
there was almost a steady down
pour throughout the day and almost
the entire night lasting until this
morning. There is not much pros
pects of clearing today, although
the weather man holds out for gen.
orally fair weather tomorrow.
While there has been no report
of material damage by the heavy
rain fall throughout the city anu
surrounding sections the Sunday
travel was greatly hindered by the
rain. The steady d%ownpour made
great inroads in the snow left on
the sides of the streets in the va
rious sections Of the city and helped
out considerable in opening up
places for traffic that had not been
reached by the street department
since the snow fall of a week ago.

Praise for the MANGO.

The secretary of the chamber Of
commerce in Mexico City says that
nobody knows the real Mexico until
he has eaten ripe mango in Mex
leo. And, of course, you can't eat a
ripe mango anywhere else, because
a ripe mango cannot be moved far.
A ripe mango, according to him, is
the most luscious, juicy and delicious
fruit in the world, and the correct
way to eat 1t is to get in state of
nature in park or orchard or for
est, or by the seashore, and then go
TO the mat with the fruit. Enough
of the juice and meat will get inside
to make you deliriously happy, and
then you borrow an ocean or some
thing to wash the juice off the ex-
terror, before it becomes strip. If
you have once eaten ripe mango in
Mexico YOU will understand the low
estimate in which the natives hold
gold and silver and precious stones
and all riches of pale civilization

Legs and Health.

According to experts, the general
health as well as ones state of mind
are influenced largely by the way we
use our legs. Persons with irritable
tendencies Invariably acquire the hab-
1t of crossing the legs. For them to,
keep the legs parallel is to invite a.
feeling of uneasiness. Brain-workers. |
too, find 1t easy to fall into the habit
of crossing their legs. When over
whelmed with work, this is the favor
lite attitude. Engross them with i'm
portant problems requiring initiative.
and the legs unfold. This Is because
the best train Of thought happens
when the legs are thrust straight out.
Sitting with the legs crossed is also a
frequent cause of obesity. II you wish
to remain slim and possess good fig
ure, don't cross the legs. Instead copy
your cat. and stretch all you can.
