GeddeS Declares the Allies
Must Get Down to Bed
Rock and Find Out What
the TeutOnS Can Pay.

London, Nov. 11.-Sir Eric Ged-
des did some very plain talking
about German reparations as the
guest Of the Thirty club of London,
recently. This club is an assoCia-
tion of advertising experts. When
in Parliament Sir Eric was noted
for his straightforward style of
speech, and since he became a busi-
ness man again he is more out
spoken than ever.
"In 1913 ] was politician" he
said, "and / said then that we
should not make fetish Of repa-
rations: that we might find repara-
tions n boomerang, and that the de-
manding of great sums from Ger
many might be bad. I nearly lost
my seat over that statement, and
I had to hedge a Bit"
He was under no necessity Of do
ing any hedging before the Thirty
club, he continued. What l said
in 1918 has come absolutely true
now" he declared. 1--WE were abb
solutely wrong, as allies, in trying
10 get the last penny out Of Ger
many. We cannot get it because it
is not there.
1T is no use chasing mirage.
You can only get reparations out Of
Germany by either money or goods.
She has no money, and If you take
her goods 1t will mean unemploy-
Inent here. If the leaders of thought
could bring that home to our peo-
pie, it would be a good thing for
this country.
II have just come from Germany.
They are desperate there. There
will never be a strong government
until the people know that they
can manage their own affairs. I'm
i'll we and our allies come down TO
bedrock, find out what Germany
can pay, and tell them so, there
will be no improvement. When we
do that Germany will try to pay, if
possible. But you cannot enslave a
nation Of seventy millions for gem
erations.'

ton of twice the construction cost

production, had grown from a city
of 10000 to 10000 in a period OF

operated, 30,50s irrigated acres
were tributary to Phoenix, he said
while now the total is sos, 900.
A city to grow and prosper must
develop a steady production. Gov
ernor Campbell said, and this can
be assured for Albuquerque
through a reclamation Of the river
valley lands.
The governor declared that gov
eminent aid in reclamation can be
received only through some gem
eral measure such as the Smith
McNary bill, and urged New Mex
leans to be ready TO take advan-
tage Of the measure when it is
passed.
Valley Has Gone Backward.
A. p. Davis, director Of the
United States reclamation service.
stated that his journey through the
Rio Grande valley yesterday had
shown him that the valley, instead
of progressing as a productive sec
ton, had gone backward. He said
the reclamation service, in coop
Grafton with the state, is making
investigations leading TO the rec
lamation and irrigation of valley
lands. Mr.. Davis also called at
tention to the fact that New Mex
leo should be ready to take advan-
tage of the general reclamation ap-
preparation measure, as through
no other agency is federal aid like,
" to be obtained.

KEY TO GREATNESS?

Scientific investigation of the human bodyis endocrine
glands may answer the battling mystery of ''why so many
writers come from Indiana.
Gifted writers usually have abnormally active thyroid
glands with the customary symptoms of hyper-thyroidism-
artistic temperament, vivid imagination and the semi-trance
that makes life seem a fantastic, unreal dream.
Something that stimulates the thyroid probably exists IN
the air, water or other phase of the climate of Indiana.
Each district of the earth produces a characteristic type
of people. You observe this emphatlcaly when you see a man
from Japan standing beside a man from America.
Similarly, you find the people different In various parts
of the United States. One section is quick-movlng and rest
less. Another is languid, even indolent. A third is slow-th1nk-
ing, almost stupid. So it goes and people move about until
they find a district where the 1nhaDltants appeal to them'
where they eft in"
Glandular research may be the key to the reason why GER
tain parts of the earth's surface produce so many agitators,
artists, musicians, inventors, ''dumb-bells," captains OF in
dustry and so on.
You have heard people say instinctively, 'Theres some
thing in the water in that section that doesn't agree with me,
makes me feel out of sorts" In other words, the water does
not supply the chemicals Necessary to the individual peculiar
glandular needs.
Something in the climate of Japan affects the pituitary
gland, producing a race of short people. Farther west, the
climate works on pituitary glands to produce the tall Mongo-
lians. Pituitary gland regulates the growth OF the skeleton
and supporting tissues. Climate, working ON pltultarles, Is
what makes some sections notorious for big feet.
In the thyroid belt around the Great Lakes, women IN
cline to have large necks. with many golfers.
Climate, affecting the glands, regulates emotions and in
tellect as well as bodily peculiarities. Thus the hot tropical
countries are eternally foaming with revolution. And in the
northern countries there is less emotion and more brain.
Maybe climatic reaction on glands is why Ohio produces
so many presidents.
The most interesting angle of all this is that science event
ually may supply artiicially, in pill form the brilliancy now
supplied by nature according to ones geographical location.

NEW SCHOOL

The school situation in Perth Amboy is something that
has got to be faced. The children must have education.
This is a matter that has always been the pride of this CITY
and Perth Amboy cannot afford to lose its reputation. With
1913 pupils more than there is available room according 10
time definite action was taken.
A new school building in Hall avenue has been contem-
plated for several years. 1t has now become an absolute
necessity. That is the section of the city where there is the
greatest congestion so that the over crowding has got to be
remedied. The Board of Education has the site and the
plans have been prepared. Actual building has been put
off from year to year with the expectation that the costs
would come down.
1t is apparent, however, that there can be no further
delay. There are no signs that building will be any cheaper
for some time to come. Other work is proceeding and the
time has arrived when the city itself must act.
y The plans as prepared for the proposed Hall avenue
school are none too good for the work that ought to be done
lin that section of the city. They provide for a school that
is modern in every respect, a building that will give the
way of serving the public in general as well as providing
school room for the children. Such a building will be a
great addition to Perth Amboys school system. Even with
work started at once it will be a year or more before the
building can be occupied. 1t is plain, therefore, that no
time should be lost in getting started once the way for fnan-
cling the structure is provided. This, according to an opin-
ION of the attorney general of the state, can be done regard
Of the legal debt limit.
If there is anything that the city cannot afford to be
with it is the education of the children. Adequate
Dchool facilities must be provided regardless Of cost.

RADIO TO CHART THE SEAS

The latest adaptation of radio is to register the depth
at sea. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt recently
announced the completion of a successful trial on a govern
ment steamship crossing the Atlantic from Newport to Glib
raltar. The depth was shown and recorded all the way, with
remarkable accuracy.
The invention consists of a device which measures the
time it takes for a sound sent from the ship to reach the bed
Of the ocean and return to the ship. The sound is made by
an oscilator in the after part of the ship and the rebound
or echo is received by sensitive ears placed forward, and the
elapsed time is recorded automatically. A glance at the rec
ord, therefore, will show the depth under the ship at any
moment and the depth astern.
This instrument alone could be depended on, it is said,
to give a navigator the approximate position of his vessel
from his general knowledge of ocean depths. 1t will also
make possible the charting of sea routes with immensely
greater ease and completeness than has ever been possible
with the slow, laborious process of 'heaving the lead.' 1t
is expected that all ships will be equipped with it eventually.
Thus another element of safety is added to sea travel.
And the Prince of Monaco, who devoted his life to charhng
the seas, and is now gone, may we'll rest in peace. He is no
longer needed.

RESERVE 3D.. APPOINTMENT
Up TO THE PRESIDENT
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskih

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Bankers
business men and farmers in all sec
tons of the United States are
awaiting with almost b~reathless i'm
patience to learn whether or not
President Harding will reappoint w.
p. G.. Harding of Birmingham. Ala,
as a member of the Federal Reserve
Board. The reason for this inter-
est is that the act of reappointing
Mr.. Harding, or failing to do so,
will indicate what the policy of the
Federal Reserve Board for the next
few years is likely to be.
1t is seldom that the appointment
of one official occupies such a key
position in relation to a broad ma
tional policy. The reason is that
Governor Harding stands fora def
mite credit policy and that factions
which are opposing his reappoint-
ment stand for an opposite policy.
Governor H~arding's term expires or
August 10 and so far the President
has declared that he has not yet
taken up the matter. 1t is known
that bankers and business men have
written him urging that he name
Mr.. Harding and that agricultural
interests have written him opposing
ZIG dppoIhtilleH u tho
banker.
The issue is one of unlimited cur
rency Issues and extensive credit
for farmers versus restricted cur
rency held absolutely to the gold
standard and restricted credits. The
farmers want the former and Gov
ernor Harding stands for the latter.
The events which brought the is
sue before the American people are
familiar to most citizens but have
teen presented under the color of
the opposing ~prejudices. There has
been bitterness between the factions
which on some occasions has led al
most to blows on the 9oors of con
gress and in committee rooms.
The boom years of 1919-20
brought about a tremendous expan-
sion Of credit through the Reserve
Banks which are regulated by the
Federal Reserve Board of which Mr..
Harding has been governor during
and since the war. During the war
the discount rates at Federal Re
serve Banks were kept low by the
influence of the Secretary of the
Treasury. The treasury had bonds
to sell and desired to sell them at
the lowest possible rates of inter-
est. The secretary is ex-of1cio chair
man of the Federal Reserve Board.
His influence was strong enough to
keep discount rates down. He ex-
erted 1t because he knew that If
these rates were increased the in
terest rates the government would
have to pay on bonds would have
to be increased also. With low bank
rates, business men, farmers and
Others borrowed more money than
they would II rates had been high and
therefore circulation of paper cur
rency rose higher and higher and

THE BAND CONCERTS

The people of Perth Amboy will enjoy their first band
concert tonight. 1t is going to be given in City Hall Park
and an excellent program has been arranged. Thanks to the
activity and interest shown in the matter by John X. Sheehy
these concerts are going to be continued throughout the re-
mainder of the summer They will be given in different
parts of the city so that those who cannot get far away from
their homes will have an opportunity to enjoy the music.
This was a popular movement started by a citizen send
ing a dollar to the Evening News with the suggestion that a
fund be raised. The Evening News has been glad to have a
part in the movement and help make it a success. But it was
not until the business men made their generous contribu-
tions that the concerts were assured. That they will be en-
ioyed goes without saying. 1t is going to make the city q
more attractive place to live in.
