PUTTING WIRES UNDERGROUND

Whether or not the city attorney can find a law where
by the city can compel public utility companies to put their
wires running through the business section of the city under
ground, il is something that is highly desirable. The Lions
Club has done a good work in at least calling attention to
this matter even if no results are to be attained at the pres
ent time.
The network of wires with their unsightly poles are a
great detriment to the city. They become a nuisance when
there has to be a different set of poles for each company.
The least to be expected in these days Of progress when peo-
pie are taking pride in the appearance of their city, is that
ornamental poles be used and all the wires be strung on the
same pole.
The city attorney, however, calls attention to a law
which permits the city to lay conduits and rent them to the
public utility companies. This might furnish a solution for
Perth Amboy. The city already has conduits through the
main streets which are used for municipal lighting. 1t will
also be remembered that an additional appropriation was
made by the Board of Aldermen to extend these conduits to
the curb so as to permit commercial lighting as well as
street lighting by the municipal plant. As the municipal
plant has never gone in for commercial lighting it might be
ascertained just what condition these conduits are in and
enter into an agreement with the public utility companies
whereby the city conduits can be used for all wires. If the
present conduits are not sufficient, they might be enlarged
at comparatively little expense.
There is good reason to believe that the municipal cleo
trio light plant today is costing the taxpayers a great deal
more money every year than they would have to pay the Pub
lie Service Electric Company for the same light. This being
the case, perhaps the city could enter into an arrangement
with the Public Service whereby it would renew it's contract
Nor street lighting with the understanding that all wires be
placed under ground.
1t would seem as if this matter was too important to be
dropped with the letter from the city attorney that there is
no law whereby the city can compel the public utility com
panies to put their wires under ground. Nothing is ever
accomplished that way. The Lions Club has started some
thing worth while. 1t is to be hoped that they will endeavor
to see it through.

BIRDS FLY SOUTH

Jack Frost is beginning to get in his work up north In
Canada. Birds soon fly south. These migratory flights are
mysteries Of science.
How do they know when to start and where to go and
how to find their way9
Bird migration "s a very old habit, an Unborn instinct
which was developed ages ago, and which manifests itself year
after wear in a uniform manner and without any remarkable
close conformity to immediate conditions"
This is Prof. j. Arthur Thomsons explanation In his
s'Ouhine of Science In other words, the annual southwark
fight of birds is a habit developed gradually through thous-
ands Of years.
One scientific explanation is that the Great Ice Age, when
glaciers moved down from the north, drove birds south. When
the ice slowly retreated, they flew back TO their old homes IN
warm summer, but returned to the new komes IN winter.
One guess is as good as another.
Ever wonder how fast birds travel when they migrate
southY Some of them reach a speed OF more than oo miles
an hour. When weary, as you have noticed, they camp Ior
a rest-"hang around a certain locality for a day or SO.
Ducks travel A to SO miles an hour and small songbirds
90 to 81 miles an hour, according to Colonel Melnertzhagens
observations. The bird named the "swlft" has been known
TO pass an airplane doing 60 miles an hour and reaches a speed
Of more than 100 miles when flying with all its energy and
skill.
Hunters, now oiling their shotguns, soon will be shooting
wild geese and ducks.
The geese travel in a sort of V formation, one side longer
than the other. like a broken wishbone. Shoot the leader and
the formation closes up, the next bird IN line taking the 1aiien
leaders, place.
Shoot the leader Of some kinds of wild ducks and, say the
Oiibway Indians, the flock hutters to the ground, pre1erapy a
swamp, and presently rises after much chatterlng IN Whlcn
they seem to elect a new leader.
This is the sort of adventure, romance. and mystery
that Aes over our heads and exists all around us IN nature.
And vet some people frequently yawn, bored with life, and
complain that they can find nothing interesting.

n BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AND RESULTS

Everybody has been remarklng about the wonderful
weather we have been having lately. 1t is true the country
has been drying up and vegetation is suffering from the want
of rain, but it has been fine for making progress on outside
contracts such as buildings and road paving. But the trouble
is, in many instances, these beautiful days have been wasted.
There is the Amboy avenue paving job, for instance.
Ais summer long this matter has been in allegiance. The bids
for this work might just as we'll have been received a month
ago so that during this ideal weather the contractor could
have the Job we'll under way and there would be a chance
of something really worth while being accomplished before
cold weather. All this time is wasted, however, and by the
time the contract is awarded and the contractor is ready to
begin work the spell will be broken and there will be a
stormy period that will hold up everything until the winter
puts an end to all such work. Such is the inefficient way
in which public affairs are handled.
In a large measure this is also true Of the various paw
ing jobs throughout the city. Over a month ago Harrison
place, Woodruff place, Gordon street and other streets to be
improved this year were torn up and the excavation made
for the paving. Then all work came to a stand-still. All
through this pleasant weather these streets have remained
in their impossible condition with no progress whatever. In
fact. these short blocks could have been all finished by this
time had the contractors proceeded with their work. instead,
however, day after day of ideal conditions has been allowed
to pass. 1t would be in keeping with the way public mat
tiers are usually handled to have the work resumed at the
time it starts raining so that these trifling jobs that ought
started. will drag along into the winter and possibly hang
over into next spring.
Yes, it has been beautiful weather, but a great deal
depends on what use we have made of it whether 1T has been
worth while or not.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Nix
Bankers, 10000 of them, at their
convention in New York heard pleas
for cancellation of debts owed 10 US
by Europe. Many were swept OH
their feet by the oratory. They join
the forgive" brigade.
Those debts represent non
raised by selling Liberty BONDS.
When the bonds come due, they
must be redeemed-either by the
| European borrowers or American
taxpayers.
Very easy, to give away other
peoples money. There was no talk
at the bankers convention, about
banks furnishing the funds to caL-
eel Europe's indebtedness to us, or
OF forgiving the private debts owed
t o some banks by Europe.
Laws
President Harding avs the New
| York Journal of Commerce pans so
| that the nation will be given a
years freedom from congressional
legislation"
A vacation in law-making would
| be a good thing. Fewer new laws,
more attention to enforcement OF
cid ones, should be the program.
Americans have a national mama
| for making rules and regulations.
Most problems will solve themselves
| ii left alone. Usually, by the time a
| law is put through, it's no longer
needed.
Louie Flores, that Coney Island
child born with twelve teeth, at
| tracts attention merely because he 8
an exception. Just as much a:ten-
| ton would go to a child born with
| NJ, tenth If fWa1Vp teeth at hlftn
were the rule.
Human existence is rather n
orous, decidedly mechanical. And
| oh how the people delight in an ex-
| ception, like Louie Flores, that
bursts the chains hat bind us.
Mankind is in eternal revolt
| against it's chains. That's why a
crre-all easily gets an audience, 10
matter how ridiculous.
Work
Joe Block, twenty-five, son of the
| president of the Inland Steel Co.,
| goes to work in a puddler's gang in
| pas steel mill. He is learning the
| business from the ground floor IT.
Lads like Joe will be running the
country twenty years from now
| when their hair is grazing. The
boys who have it handed to them
on a platter" are apt to wind up in
| the scandal news. The mar who
hasn't learned to work with his
hands goes through life. without a
balancewheel.
Opportunity
Young Joe Black, beginning at
the bottom of the ladder as a pud-
der in his fathers steel mill, gets
IS cents an hour. So do the others
i'll his w~ork-gang.
You have heard that this is a land
Of equal opportunity. However,
| you know that Joe Block will not
remain long with the puddlers. You
also know that many of the puddlers
he now tolls with will never be able
to get better jobs. Some of them
| will, for ability seeks and finds its
| own level.
Success is 90 per cent ability, 10
| per cent influence. Or maybe the
figures should be reversed. Select
| your associates cautiously. A friend
| with influence is worth a dozen
| without.
So far this year, about 100000
people have left the country from
| Atlantic seaports. It's a fourth less
than a yea ago
Arrivals at the same ports, from
abroad total around 100000, or
205, 900 fewer than a year 90.
Several thousand reasons for this,
including immigration restrictions
and emptier pocketbooks.
Our imports and exports of hu-
mainly this year just about balance.

Q. Who originated the term dark

@. How much glass is used in the
manufacture of automobiles ?-P. F.
A. There was 16, 500 square feet

Q. Please describe the condition
of corn when it is ready to be cut
for the siC?-C. C. A.
A. The Department of Agriculture
says that when corn is ready to be
cut for ensilage the lower leaves
will be dead. some of the husks will
have turned brown, and the ears
will be hard, but the stalks and up
per leaves of the plant will still
be green and succulent.
@. How is the hydrogen gas used
in airships stored Pr. L.
A. The Air Service says that the
following three methods are used in
storing hydrogen gas after genera
tom: First, storage in a gas hold
err fabric or metaD at a pressure
of from 1 to 9 pounds greater than
atmospheric PRESSURE; second, stor-
age in medium pressure tanks at 300
10 600 pounds per square inch pres
sure; third. storage in portable cyl
inders at from 1900 to 1000 pounds
per square inch pressure. The Sc
lection of the type of storage sys-
tenn is dependent on local conditions
Most British air stations have all
three systems installed. but the
medium pressure system is not in
favor.
@. What are the Janissaries?-F.
L. A.
A. In 1880 the Turkish ruler
Urkhan or Orkhan issued an edict
compelling each city or town to
contribute a quota of male children
usually about Z years of age for the
service of the Sultan. acquisitions
were made about every four years,
and from four to seven taken from
each city or town. The children
were gwen special training and the
troops thus formed usually consti-
tuted the sultan's body guard and
were known as the Janissaries
They were also recruited from cap

Real Issues in New jersey


New Jerseys November election
has been advertised far and ide as
a referendum on the issue of Vol
steadism, which, of course, it is not.
One candidate and one platform are
wet and the opposing candidate n
platform are dry, but federal pro-
hibition goes on reckless of the con-
sequences of the rivalry for votes.
Meanwhile, if either party through
platform or candidate, were to come
out With a convincing solution of the
trolley problem in New Jersey, CIV
ing assurance of goot service at rea-
sonable fares and were to campaign
with the single purpose of carrying
conviction on that point, more votes
would likely be gained than by
spouting e the virtues or vices OF
Volsteadism.
Both parties have protested the
power now ~pov~cssed by federal
| courts to remove the consid grafton
of utility questions from the juris-
diction of the State Utilities Commits
sion, and both favor federal leg1sla-
ton, such as the pending Bacharach
bill, which will deprive the courts
of such power.

Q. Please state some Of the super,
stitions connected with toads.-M
r.
A. The toad is not an attractive
epimal and it has always been the
object of curious beliefs or super.
stitions. Small boys believe that Ill
one is killed and turned on its back
there VIII be rain before night. For
ages the general public has held to
the belief that warts were produced
by handling toads. Other traditions
credit the toad with the power OF
poisoning infants with it's breath:
of bringing good fortune to the
house in the new made cellar Of
which one is found; of curing chill
dren of stammering if rubbed on the
back of the neck; and of causing
a COW to dry or give bloody milk
if she accidentally killed a toad
while being driven home from the
pasture. The works of the early
writer's on natural history TEEN
with vague unsubstantiated accounts
of the venomous qualities of the
breath and sputum of the toad, the
medicinal value of toad skins for
treating certain ailments. and the
valuable toadstone or jewel to be
found in it's head.
Q. What is a ticker coil?-F. A.
N.
A. This is coil placed in the plate
circuit of a vacuum tube receiver to
transfer part of the energy of the
oscillating plate current back into
the grid circuit in order to produce
amplification and to enable the tube
to generate oscillations of high fire.
