1t seemed not to have occurred to those ardent
boosters of the port OF New York that there
is another desirable section that could be de-
veloped at comparatively little cost. There was
no mention of Raritan bay. Yet. according to
recent legislation this section is tied up in the
port of New York" development scheme. APP
p~arently it was thought that this section was
not worth considering, at present at least.
There was one man in the party, however.
who is we'll awnre of the advantages of Raritan
bay. Congressman Appleby was in the inspec-
ton party and We hope he did not fail to let
1t be known that with all the advantages of
Jamaica bay and the rest of lower Long Island,
there is another section of the port that far
surpasses 1t in advantages. and that Raritan bay
ought to take precedent over the Long Island
shore.
We realize the disadvantages we are work.
ing under with all New York, Jersey City and
Newark against US. We certainly need all the
help Congressman Appleby can give us. When
ever the port of New York is mentioned it is
up to him to put In a word for Raritan bay.
1t is only by such persistence that our claim
for recognition will ever be recognized.

PASS SWEET BILL UNAMENDED

The Sweet bill now pending in congress is de-
signed to decentralize the activities OF the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance, to the end that the
disabled soldiers get long-delayed Justice.
This decentralization of the bureaus powers
is a measure that has long been insisted on by
all experts who have studied the disabled soldier
situation.
1t is contended that 1t would do away with
most of the red tape that has hampered the ad-
ministration of the soldier rehabilitation laws
and has done much to discourage the men the
laws were intended to benefit.
At the eleventh hour an attempt is being made
to amend the bill in such a way as to render 1t
entirely ineffective to accomplish the purpose
for which it was designed.
The late F. w. Galbraith, Jr, who was COM
mander of the American Legion, protested to
congress against the amendment Of the bill. He
presented facts and figures to show that the
proposed amendment would result in the dis
abled soldiers getting about twenty cents on the
dollar.
ut is Just this parsimonious spirit that the
legion has fought" said Galbraith. These dis
abled men didn't bubble over terms when they
Joined the colors. We believe the nation backs
us In insisting that the government now provide
for them In a way that everyone agrees is best
The case which Galbraith made for the pas
sage of the Sweet bill unamended, seems on the
face of l. unanswerable.
The success of the two-year fight which the
legion has made for the disabled soldiers ought
not to be ieopardized by congressional clubbing
or p%arsimony.

RIPPING HYMES
By Walt Mason
KEEP BOOSTING

hEET DOO@4lN0
There's no good in roosting like
owls on a limb there's more sense in
boosting with ardor and vim.
There's no good in viewing all
things with dismay; far better be
hewing some elm every day. There
always are knockers enough in a
town; the grouchy old takers run
everything down; they kick If we're
growing, they kick if we're not,
wet blankets they're throwing till
everyone's hot. Unpopular g~eezers.
whene'er they appear. these old
Ebenezers who knock by the year.
They're whiskered and frowsy
they're not up to date, they always
are drowsy save when they crate,
save when they are kicking because
of some tax. and YEARLY picking the
burs from their backs. The custom
of knocking. If given full play, is
thoroughly shocking. it makes men
decay. The habit Of looking all
clipper and bright. instead of CAD
cooking and cussing all night, will
make you a winner, whatever your
trade, of tanner and timer and
man with a spade; There's no good
in cawing and croaking like crows,
and drearily drawing blue prints of
your woes; far better be singing
some madrigal dope, and cheerily
springing a package of hope.f

WHEN WATERFRONT is APPRECIATED

Yes. these are the days when that Waterfront
park would be greatly enjoyed by the people OF
this city. Everybody naturally seeks the water
on a hot day. Perth Amboy has a wonderful pay
with all the natural attractions that are AFFORD
ed anywhere. But we have proceeded TO muss
it all up with our sewers and junk piles so that
the beaches are almost useless for the people.
Something ought to be done toward setting
cut trees and shrubbery. anyway. 1t takes
some time for these things to grow and all the
time that the people are denied the pleasures
of the beaches the trees could be growing.
on the tract that eventually will be used as a
park. There ought to be an appropriation for
this work.
Perth Amboy is not going to always neglect
her beautiful waterfront. There is ample room
for thousands of people to enjoy themselves
along the shore on the property the city already
owns once the tract is developed.

Z. Why is the King of England
given the title Defender of the
Faith?" A. B. c.
A. This title has been borne by
reigning sovereigns of England
since the time of Henry VIII. This
title was conferred upon him by the
Pope because Of a book against Lu-
Their called "Assertio Septem Sac
rementorum," which Henry VIII
wrote in 1921.

A. The Navy Department says
that man. officers having temporary
or provisional rank in the Reserves
%re-enter the regular service and
serve the length of time necessary
to entitle Them to permanent. rank.
This carries with 1t a much higher
rate of pay when retired to the
Reserve since otherwise the pay is
only $12 a year.
@. Why do Scotch soldiers wear
skirts and socks?-J. H..
A. The custom of wearing short
skirts by Scottish soldiers is a

tan. Some of the regiments still
wear the full Scottish dress, while
others wear the khaki with the kilt
skirts.

Home brewers In America are using 5000
tons of raisins a year, a raisin king tells the

@. When a hand is called in po-
ker it is necessary that the calling
hand be shown?-A. c.
A. Both hands must be shown,
and if there are more than two
hands in the final call, all must be
shown to the table. The rule of
showing all hands is a safeguard
against collision between two
players, one of whom might have
a fairly good hand and the other
nothing; for by raising each other
back and forth they could force any
other player out of the pool. The
good hand could then be called and
shown, the confederate simply say
ing THAT is good" and putting his
hand in the discard.

SOME IMPRESSIVE FIGURES

IfOne Of the things that will surprise many is
the amount of time whene these streets are
actually closed to vehicular traffic. The report
OF the police for Tuesday. one of the most ordi-
nary days in the weeks, shows that during the
eight hours from 8 o'clock to II o'clock in the
afternoon and evening, the gates were down for
aktotdl of three hours. In other words. out of
tie fight hours during one Of the busiest parts
fhe day the people had the use OF their
t2ets for but five hours. The other three hours
ERE taken up in periods of a few minutes each
when the streets were closed for trains to pass.
But this was on a Tuesday. On Saturday for
the remainder of the summer the proportion of
time when the streets are closed to vehicular
trafic will be much greater. Trains pass
through this city bound from Jersey City and
Newdrk to the seashore resorts only one or two
minutes apart during much of the time between
