SIDEWALKS ALONG HIGHWAYS

The action taken by the Woodbridge township COM
mittee in having sidewalks placed along such roads as New
Brunswick avenue to Fords, the Port Reading Road from
Port Reading to the Roosevelt Borough line; Railway ave-
nue., Woodbridge; Amboy avenue, Woodbridge, and King
Georges road, in Fords is a great step forward. These roads
which include some of the most important automobile high
ways in this section have been the scene of several serious
auto accidents in the past due to the fact that pedestrians
have to use the roadway while autos are speeding by in
both directions. The presence of people walking along the
highway has been a source of great annoyance to motorists,
especially when blinded by the usually bright lights Of a
car coming in the opposite direction. Especially true is this
Of New Brunswick avenue and the Port Reading road.
Traffic between Roosevelt and Woodbridge and Perth
Amboy since the rebuilding of West avenue, Sewaren, has
increased greatly and Committeeman George Luffbury was
right in his contention that the sidewalks should be laid att
once before any more serious accidents are caused. Com
mitteemen j. P. Salter and Leon McElroy took the same
stand recently in the matter of Amboy avenue and Railway
avenue, Woodbridge, while Committeeman Hoy of Fords
has been working for some time to get a continuous side
walk from Perth Amboy, through Fords to the Raritan
Township line. Work in that direction is now we'll under
being made to have Raritan Township continue this i'm
provement as far as the new Clara Barton School, at least.
Woodbridge township has enjoyed a most progressive
year in civic Improvements as well as in real estate develop
ment. If an understanding could be arranged that would
assure the establishment Of a park in the heart of Wood
bridge proper and actual work started on the new town hall,
Woodbridge would have accomplished more in 1922 than in
any other year gone by.

OF A NEW>ART TOLD
OF BY MR.. HASkIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskln

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-A few
years ago a customer happened to
step into a picture-frame store in
this city and ask the young son OF
the proprietor II he could mako a
pair of those new-fangled plaster
bcok-ends which were in some of
the novelty shops then beginning to
spring up in Washington. The
young clerk scratched his head and
said he 'reckoned" he could. From
that accepted commission has grown
up in a half dozen Years one OF
the largest businesses in the world
which has for its purpose the bring
ing of really fine arr within the
reach of the people.
The clerk did not realize teen,
when the customer made his I'M
usual request, that destiny had step
ped through the door of the dusky
title shop; yet today, six years later
Frank Niepold. the former clerk,
has wide recognition as an artist
| with a genuine talent. Wealth is
coming to him. Such critics as
John Sargent, the famous portrait
painter, have placed their approval
on his work. And Frank Niepoid Is
only thirty years old.
The business which he and his
father and W. brothers now con-
duct is called the manufacture or
Borghese reproductions. 1t con-
sists of taking the loveliest designs
and art objects OF the Italian renais-
sance period and adapting them,
through reproduction. to household
use and ornamentation today.
A few years ago in this country
objec cts of such beauty could be
seen only in museums or IN the
private collections of wealthy men.
Today anyone for the expenditure
Of a few dollars can own one OF
these ornaments. an art object au-
thentic in everything except age
and even that is cleverly initiated.
So successful are the Niepold repro
auctions that retailers selling them
sometimes advertise them as import
ed goods, W that the modern
craftsmen of Italy and France are
not producing anything as line as
these.
When the original customer who
wanted the book-ends had left the
shop, young Niepold began casting
around in his mind for something
that would do. He was even then from
his own study capable of designing
a suitable piece, but there was not
need at that time for original
work. In the stores there happened
to be a piece of rather heavy pic
ture framing of a design which Me
pold admired. From this he simply
sawed out two like sections, painted
and finished them, covered the con-
tact sides with felt, and placed them
in a show case to await the return
OF the customer.
Immediate Demand Discovered
While they were there. another
customer noticed them and asked for
a pair just like them. 1t was oh

NARCOTIC DRUGS

If any group of men are qualified to speak with author
ity regarding the narcotic drug evil in this country it is the
druggists. Unfortunately by no means all of the narcotics
pass through their hands, but they are in position to know
the full scope of the traffic and they are sufficiently in touch
with the victims to realize the immense tragedy represented. +
1t was declared at the national druggists convention
that after seven years of the Harrison narcotic law, designed
to curb the traffic in habit-forming drugs, conditions are
worse than they were before the law was passed. The law
has not resulted in checking the distribution of drugs and
the creation of new victims. But its most obvious defect,
one speaker pointed out, is that the nav makes no provision
for the treatment of those who innocently became addicts|
and who earnestly wish to be cured.
1t is recognized by every one who has studied the ques-
ton that it is quite possible, in any but the most advanced
cases, to remove the drug craving from a victim and give
him a fresh start, and that being restored to normal health
and habits, he may continue so if no more drug temptation
is put in his way. Yet, with such innocent victims mum
bered by the hundreds of thousands, no adequate public eff
fort is made anywhere for their rehabilitation.
The druggist unanimously endorsed a bill now pend
ing in Congress, providing for a federal investigation of the
narcotic drugs situation in the United States. That is all
right as far as it goes; but why bury so urgent a matter in
an investigation committee? Such inquiries seldom accom-
plish anything. What is needed is action, and the facts are
surely known we'll enough by this time to provide a basis for
intelligent action without further delay.

Elections Point of
Division at Peace
Farley in Ireland

DUBLIN, May l3.-(By the Assoei-
ated Press. THE Irish peace commit
tee met again today in the Mansion
House Not much was accomplished
and further sittings will be held.
Some optimism was noticeable, but NO
ground for itSwas apparent. The real
point of division is the agreed cleo
tions. AT the conference today, it
was urged on the treaty side that it
should imply a certain acceptance OF
the treaty as fact, which altered the
whole situation.
The proposals signed by Michael
Collins and Richard Mulcahy were
supposed TO Indicate the possibility OF
accommodation as to the nature of the
elections, but today the official organ
OF the party favoring the treaty dis
counts this supposition.
According to Harry j. Boland, of the
republican side, the negotiations for
peace would never have been begun il
this attitude had been made clear. The
Free State paper puts the position di.
Tectly. saying:
We shall either have peace under
which the will OF the majority shall
prevail once for all. or war rendered
more certain by the solemn calling OF
truce"

Valley railroad at North Leroy today.
Two women, still unconscious late

and as it's speed was checked by the

cars crashed down a 40-foot embank-
ment. They were the smoker, day

WASHINGTON, May 13.- Republi,
can proponents of the pending tariff
bill were charged today in the senate
by Senator Underwood OF Alabama.
the Democratic leader, with "epanliz
ing the American people in their ef-
forts to secure knowledge, education

discussing five per cent increase In
the present duty of Is per cent ad

proved.
Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking Re-
publican on the finance committee,
defended the five per cent increase,
saying it was necessary because pro-
vision was made in the bill for in
creasing the protection on the ingred-
tents of ink. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the increase would not be
borne by the ultimate consumer, but
probably would be taken care of by
local competition. This view was dis

MURDERER Of

Author of Threatening Letters

Cleveland Police

CLEVELAND, o., May 13.-The
search for the slayer of Mrs. Helen
Silberberg, beaten to death in her
apartments yesterday morning, prog
lressed along several different lines to-
day, stimulated by the offer Of $25OO
reward by Aaron Silberberg, the vic
TINS husband, for the arrest and con-
lviction of the guilty person.
Clothing stores and tailor shops, in
the vicinity of the Silberberg home
were visited on a vague Tip" that a
man whose clothes were In disor-
dered condition had rushed into a
store in the neighborhood, obtained 4
new suit, and ran out again without
paying for it.
Every laundry in the city was being
searched for records OF Laundry marks
similar to one round today on a small
cloth tab on the floor of. the bath
room in the Silberberg apartment, and
which police believe may have been
dropped when the slayer went to the
bathroom to wash bloodstains from his
hands or colthing. Bloodstains were
found on the bath tub and on a towel
hanging nearby.

signed with a "black hand and re-
ceiyed by Silberberg 10 days ago, were
