Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-04-08

There are few cities in the country today the size OF
Perth Amboy that do not have golf links. Every progress
sive city has one, anyway, and no city can be considered a
pacemaker surely without such features.
Golf is a game that has increased wonderfully in popu-
as a high brow sport, something for rich people to indulge
in. At best il was considered an old mans game.
All this has changed. With the establishment OF mu-
nicipal links all over the country where anybody can play by
paying a small fee people in all walks Of life have taken up
the sport and thousands are being greatly benefited thereby.
The appealing feature about golf is that it is something
the individual plays himself. He does not have to sit on the
baseball, football, tennis and all the other games one is
forced to drop them at about forty years Of age and very
often before. But golf can be taken up at the age OF eight
and one can still be playing it at the age of eighty.
Whether or not Perth Amboy is to have a golf course
that can be identified with the city depends on the interest
that can be aroused here within the next few weeks. The
property has already been secured and links have been laid
out. 1t S a pretty site and within easy reach of the city. The
time has come, however, when something definite has got to
be done in the way of building a permanent course.
The promoters of the proposed golf club have sent out
invitations with the idea of establishing a paid-up member
ship in order to secure the funds necessary to properly con-
struct the course. Perth Amboy's first real attempt at golf,
therefore, depends on the response to these invitations. III
there is not %sufricient. interest TO go ahead the project will
be abandoned.
Surely. if Perth Amboy wants to keep in the line of
progress and would continue TO be known as a pacemaking
city, this opportunity to establish a golf club will not be lost

CANNOT LIVE UP TO ITS NAME

The nam for the society that was organized at the
meeting held in Carnegie Hall, New York, Thursday night
is not well chosen. 1t is called the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment. This is a direct attack on the
constitution and is bound to fail.
The constitution is the fundamental law of the land,
it is difficult to amend and once amended it is still harder
to have the amendment repealed In fact, no amendment
once adopted has ever been repealed although it has been
evaded as in the case Of the fifteenth amendment regarding
negro voting in some of the southern states.
Many of those who oppose the eighteen amendment do
not seem to realize that about half of the states of the Union
were already 'dry' when the amendment was adopted. To
repeal the amendment it would be necessary to have three
fourths of the states vote for its repeal. 1t would be next
10 impossible to secure such a number. Therefore, any
movement TO do away with the prohibition amendment is
doomed to failure from the start.
The only chance of bringing about any change IN the
present prohibition laws is to alter the act of congress de-
filming what constitutes intoxicating liquors. The Volstead
law, now in operation, defines everything containing over
one half of one per cent. alcohol as being intoxicating.
This is ridiculous on the face Of it. 1t is not honest.
The Juice of almost any fruit will contain practically that
amount of alcohol. 1t must be admitted by all falr-mlnded
people that the percentage of alcohol in drinks could De
raised considerably above the one-half OF one per cent. as
fixed in the Volstead law and still they would not be m
toxicating.
And it is intoxicating liquors that the constitution for
bids. no others. Therefore, while it is hopeless to attempt
10 change the constitution it is possible and judging from the
present conditions throughout the country, highly desirable
to change the law defining what constitutes intoxicating
liquors.
II this new Association Against the Prohibition Amend
nent means exactly what its name implies it is attempting
more than it can possibly accomplished. If it is merely at
tempting to change the present law OF congress defining
what constitutes intoxicating liquors, its name is as mis-
leading as is the name of the Anti Saloon League.
To abolish the saloon is something that commends
itself TO a vast majority of the people and the organization
Gained a great deal of support with that idea in view. But it
seems that the abolition of the saloon was only incidental,
the extent to which the organization was willing to go being
seen by the present Volstead law.
If the society that was organized in Carnegie Hall,
therefore. will aim at something that actually can be ac-
complished instead of attempting the impossible 1t will Sc
curs much more support and stand a chance OF actually
kksIfne results . =,

BUSINESS QUESTIONS AN
SWERED

viii you tell me if you can what
most of the progressive dealers DO
today with the toys left over from
Christmas time? We have been in
the habit of closing them out. some
times at a loss. to avoid having to
carry them over and I wonder II
most other merchants t nay 40 e n
A great many other merchants do
just what you say is done in your
store, close out their leftover
Christmas toys at a reduction. This,
to my mind, has always been a rath-
err unnecessary procedure. Toys are
an all-year-round staple article.
There are Just as many children dur
ing the year who have as many
birthdays and play with as many
toys. Why not continue to carry q
good line of toys during the year.
and advertise them and feature them
periodically as you do other mer-
chandise? One store in Oregon has
set a precedent along this line that
insures little loss, and further. 10 the
means of increasing general sales
through the year. Instead OF sacrifice
ing the leftover toy stock. this store
uses it throughout the rear to at
tract a steady stream of youngsters
who bring. their mothers along.
In answering an advertisement for
a position, what important points
to be included? OF course, 1 know in
q general way, but / wonder IL there
are certain things to leave out, be-
cause I seldom get nsw to my

DeyeIopment Surprises ExDerts

SuTRTlSCS AN
Now, the new development which
has surprised economists in connec-
ton with this situation is the dis
covery that there is a tendency on
the part of Europeans to bring about
a hitherto undreamed of method Of
correcting the imitation. Many plans
have been suggested but none has
been found practical. The new de-
velopment is one which. il 1t con-
tinues, will tend to correct the situa-
ton without the aid of conferences
or politicians.
The development is hailed as q re-
versal OF Gresham's law. The facts
seem to he that the people of Rus
STA, Germany and Poland and some
of the other nations having badly
deprecated ~currencies have become
SO disguised with the nuisance OF
dealing with cheap money that they
are bringing out of hiding their
boards of gold and other valuable
money. A case illustrating this new
development recently was reported
by a British trading Arm. This firm
sold a bill of goods to a Russian
dealer at Rostov. Payment was re-
ceived in a miscellaneous assortment
of cash. 1t consisted of American
gold. checks drawn on American
banks. American bills Of exchange,
, English currency and checks, Turk
ish gold and checks and notes,
French currency and checks and
Russian gold rubles. Obviously,
with the exception of the checks,
this payment was made from good
money which doubtless had been
boarded since the war.
Agents of the American Relief Ad-
ministration in Russia have reported
similar instances of people bringing
out gold and other metal money. The
same Is true in Poland, Germany and
Austria.
Currency Revolution Seen
What economists see in this de-
lvelopment is the possibility Of a
gradual revolution in European cur
rencies. For instance. the Russians
have discovered that their own
lrubles are nearly useless but that
they can get big value for British
or American or other good money.
Consequently they will try to get
hold of as much of this foreign
money as possible.
In the early days in Europe this
same phenomenon occurred. Money
issued at the great banking centers
of Venice. Antwerp and a few other
cities came into general use all v
Europe, displacing cheaper native
currencies because everybody knew
1t was good money.
Recently. the United States Treas
ury removed the ban from the free
issue of gold and gold certificates
1t is thought possible by economists
and students of international finance
that a good deal of this gold money,
known all over the world as being
the best o~btainable, will reach the
countries abroad. having deprecated
I%currency and become popular as q
valuable medium of exchange. This
has not been possible until the last
few days because the Treasury and
the Federal Reserve Banks would
not let gold go into general circula-
ton, but now 1t IL possible for for
eign-born Americans to get this
money and send 1t to their relatives
abroad.
It is recognized that this process
OF substitution Of foreign money for
the deprecated native c~urrencies
would be a slow one. but some econ
omists believe that It is a possible
but necessarily slow solution to the
European emergency problem.

Massacres by Turks in Pontus,
Asia Minor, were reported in a tele-
gram received by the Greek lega-
ton in Washington several weeks
ago which stated that 800 Greeks OF
Samsun were killed by Turkish au-
thorities acting under the direction
Of Renal Pasha.
A committee Of the American
friends of the Prosecuted Christian
Peoples of Asia Minor presented to
President Harding on March 23 reso-
buttons protesting against the mas
sacre of Christians in Armenia and
other parts Of the Turkish empire
and asking the United States to use
its influence to put an end to 1t.
The Near East Relief announced
that some 10000 Armenians who
were in Cilicia evacuated that prov
nee when they learned that the
French troops were to be withdrawn
and the country turned over to the
Turks and have now crowded into
other districts not under Turkish
jurisdiction.
