COOPERATION IN WIPING OUT
CROSSINGS

Announcement that the railroads MAINTAINING
grade crossings in Perth Amboy are negotiating
with the city' after having expressed a willing
ness to abolish these death traps, Is good news
and it is to be hoped that an agreement VIII pc
reached before November 10. to which date the
Public Utilities Commission has postponed tHe
hearing of the pending case.
Heretofore the railroads have combated steps
to force them to do away with these crossings az
grade. They have held that the crossings were
not so dangerous as claimed and did not uhuuiy,
hinder traffic over the tracks. But the logic OF
recent experience has evidently convinced the
railroads that it would be to their interest, as
well as the interest of the public, TO proceed
witt the improvement. They know, too, follow
ing the decision of the United States supreme
Court upholding the constltutlonailty OF tne
Fielder grade crossing law. that the fupnc
Utilities Commission has the power TO coHPe
the elimination of the crossings.
A satisfa Glory agreement that will mean CO.
operation rather than antagonism between the
railroads and the municipality promises more
speed in completing the undertaking than pro-
ceedingS before the com mission. such an agree
ment must be ratified by the state oooy' ana
that ratification will be a guaranty or It's iaH-
ness to all concerned. The chief hindrance 10
grade crossing elimination is it's large financial
cost, but evidently the railroads concerned IN the
Perth Amboy case now figure that they can
meet this outlay and that 1t will be economlcai
ultimately.

to be set at Perth Anlboy will induce other rall-

THE LATEST FERRY PROPOSITION

The announcement that a company has been
formed to operate a ferry between Manhattan,
rottenvillo and South Amboy is important. APP
parently the object is to cater to the automobile
traffic. Anything that will relieve the tremen-
dous automobile traffic through this city and
across the state highway bridge will be well
coined.
1t appears, however, that the ferry is to start
at Manhattan and merely make a stop at Tot
tenville, terminating at South Amboy from
where the return trip will be started. In other.
words, the ferry is to operate between Man
haitian and South Amboy, This, to us, seems
more like a steamboat line than a ferry. We
end South Amboy being a very popular propo-
sition. but why from Manhattan?
In the first place, the motorist is going to lose
too much time on the boat to cover such a dis
lance. One of the attractions of going to the
shore by automobile is to get there more quick
ly. Besides, the tourists start out to take an
automobile ride, not a boat ride.
If an autoist wants to put his machine on a
boat and be carried as close to the shore as
possible there is now in operation the line of
boats from Manhattan to Keansburg which is
not so very far from South Amboy. Motorists
landing at Keansburg from Manhattan would
not have so very far to travel to reach the coast
(resorts and one of the most congested sections
of the highway-that between South Amboy and
Keyport-would be avoided which would not be
the case If the motorists were put ashore at
South Amboy.
Or, it might be possible to take passage all
the way to Red Bank or even Pleasure Bay on
a boat, having ones car put ashore at either Oh
these points and be within only a few miles Oh
the coast resorts. But in that case, what Is the
use of motoring? One of the objects of going
to the shore in an automobile is to enjoy the
ride by motor. If one wants a boat ride, the
boats are running all the season.
But a ferry operating merely between TOT
tenville and South Amboy would be an entirely
different thing. Motorists coming down across
Staten Island have to take a ferry at Totten-
vilIe ANYWAY. so why not ferry direct to South
aubov and avoid the bridg e instead of coming
TO Perth Amboy? 1t sounds perfectly feasible
and On week-ends and holidays during the sum-
mer and fall 1t might be made to pay WELL es-
pecially II the charge is in proportion TO 'he
charge made to cross from this city to Totem
Vile, which is fifty cents for a car and driver
imagine. one dollar to take an to
Tottenville and back!
We can hardly believe that the proposed ne"
ferry is to operate all the way from Manhattan
vet that seems to be the indications from all
the reports thus far received. To motor froln
New York to the Jeysey coast resorts by steam
boat Is getting automobile riding down to very
fine points. First thing you know 1t will be pos
sible to take an automobile ride without getting
into an tomob at all.

Health Talks
Worms


Few of the children whose moth.
ers are dosing them with bitter
medicine for "worms'' have such an
ailment. Grandmas r often too
willing to diagnose a minor chronic
ailment of a child as worms"
Such old fashioned folk would
not be so prompt in their verdict II
they knew what modern science
knows, that worms are a direct req
suit Of uncleanliness.
A child can become infected with
round worms or thread worms, only
by getting into the mouth and
stomach particles of earth or dirt
contaminated with the minute eggs
or invisible embryos which later de-
| velop into adult worms. Such eggs
or infectious matter are not so far
removed from all localities be they
dirty alleys or palatial residence SEQ
tions. The earth in all social cons
munities is fairly well sown with
them.
There are no symptoms OF
worms" A coated tongue, white
lines about the mouth restlessness.
heavy breath, picking at the nose.
bright eyes, feverishness, night
mares and numerous other disturb.
ances noted in children are not
symptoms of worms. They are
rather signs of acute intestinal in-
digestion, and a teaspoonful of soda
in a little water will bring relief
quicker than all the old fashioned
worm medicines.
One is justified in treating q child
for worms only when the worms
themselves appear in the evacua-
tons or their eggs are seen by n
doctor through his microscope.
The prevention of worms has
nothing to do with the regulation of
foods given the child. The only true
prevention Of worms Is personal
cleanliness.

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES


II you know of some one who Is troub-

or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula
been the means of saving some poor suf-
ferer perhaps from total deafness. In
England scientists for a long time have
recognized that catarrh is a constitutional
disease and necessarily requires constitu-
tional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
| which frequently means total deafness,
or else the disease may be driven down
the air passages towards the lungs which
is equally as dangerous. The following
| formula which Is used extensively in the
damp English climate is a constitutional
| treatment and should prove especially eff
~icacious to sufferers here who live under
more favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist / ounce of
Parmint Double strength. Take this
and a little granulated sugar; stir until

times a day. This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises. Clog

Inflammation in the eustachian tubes is

directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces OF the system and has a tonic action
that helps to obtain the desired results.
The preparation is easy to make, costs
little and is pleasant to take. Every per-
son who has catarrh or head noises or is

AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK

Things are looking up.
The reports received from the various indus
tries in this section, while being nothing Won
derful, are all of the optimistic tone. Some
OF the plants have increased their activities
and taken on more men. Others have re-
ceived new orders and are preparing to do
more business in the immediate future.
No attempt was made in the article pub
lished in the Evening News last night to make
things out better than they are. AS a matter
OF fact, there is good reason to believe that
Improvements in the general condition OF things
are better than one would get from the facts
as given out. Industrial heads, not desiring to
be too hasty in announcing the return of better
times so as to avoid disappointments should
there be a setback later, are inclined to be
conservative in their estimates. This was in
dictated in the replies the Evening News re-
ceived from some of them yesterday. Yet, In
spite of this reticence the general tone Oh 'he
whole article was encouraging.
There is no question about the industries In
this vicinity being hard hit by the business de-
preston that has covered the country In re-
cent months. But there is reason to believe that
conditions have not been as bad here as IN many
nlaees. This city is fortunate in having such
diversified Industries that all are not aftected
alike. There is always some business going on.
But the fact remains that there have been a
large number of men out of work here for many
months past. There is some encouragement IN
the fact that at least the bottom has been
reached. With the added encouragement that
some are actually putting on men here ana
there. that some plants that have been idle are
resuminP operations and that all report the out
look for increased business decidedly brighter
there is every reason to take heart, hope for
the best and do all within our power to make
the optimism that is so prevalent fully war;

DIAMOND NINE
IN ARKANSAS

MURPHREEsBoRo, Ark. March
1s.s-only diamond mine thus far
discovered on the western hemis-
phere is located in Pike county.
Ark, in which this hamlet is situ-
ated. The mine is two and half
miles south OF here.
The diamonds are found In
pipe" the crater OF an extinct vol
cano which ages ago boiled up
through the surface, had its terrific
heat chilled by the waters OF an in
land sea. and left bits of carbon
scattered throughout the peridotite
which now fills the crater, to be
pressed into diamonds by the con-
traction OF the rock. The peridotite
forms the original matrix OF the dia-
mond, and thus far the only dia-
monds found In the western hemis-
phere in their matrices are those Of
Pike county. Diamonds have been
found in some IS states. in Canada
and South America, but always, in
river beds where. biologists surmise,
they have been washed by the wa
ters, or is places where II is pre-
sumed they have been deposited by
glacial action.
The first Arkansas diamond was
found in 1906 by John Huddleston.
then owner of the farm on which the
so-acre pipe" is located by accident.
Huddleston observed outcroppings OF
the gray-green rock, since classed
at peridotite and came to the con-
clusion that his hillsides contained
valuable mineral. perhaps copper.
After pecking around without finding
anything which looked to him like
minerals, he picked up a crystal, and
then one day showed 1t to some
friends In Murphreesboro. A Little
Rock jeweler pronounced II dia-
mond and made sure by verifications
by Jewel experts in New York.
