Immediately started to trace the gun
from that source. Near the grip were
found two twelve guage shells. one ex-
ploded.
Mrs. Fannie Kinsinger, who lives sew
eral hundred yards west Of the Brunen
home. said she heard the shot and from
window saw q man wearing a soft hat
running across the field and she thought
he was carrying an umbrella She said
that shortly before the shot was fired
she saw a Ford coupe stop in front Of
her home and the driver extinguished
the lights on the car. The driver turned
his car around and headed back to
Camden. Then a man alighted and
walked hurriedly toward the Brunen
nome. Mrs. Kinsinger did not watch
him further until she heard the shot.
Joseph Hinch. Is. Of h.verside said

driver extinguish the lights and turn
his car around. The boy said he had a
good look at the man and his descrip-
ton talltes with that by Mrs. Kinsinger

mixed up In the case and he replied: 'I
DO not believe so. think this was done
by q person seeking revenge because of

Mrs. Harry Mohr, Mrs. Bruen's
mother-in-law. and Brunen's daughter
Mrs. Hazel Parkstrew. were not in the
house at the time OF the murder, but
were attending moving picture show
In Riverside.
Brunen's daughter eloped several
months ago and was married to Paul
Parkstrew. lion tanner In the circus.
brunen caused the arrest of Parkstrew.
who spent week in Jail before he was
discharged by Judge Herald Wells.
Parkstrew moved to Perth Amboy
where he is living. After the murder
Parkstrew was found at his home and
he proved he was In Perth Amboy when
the crime was committed.
Last Christmas Day Brunen and his
wife quarreled and Mrs. Brunen fired
i've shots at her husband with pistol.
None OF the bullets took effect: Nov.
I'll show you how to shoot" the River
side police yesterday said Brunen said
to his wife as he took a revolver and
fired. The bullet struck a corset steel.
NO arrests were made, as the couple
patched up the quarrel.
Brunen, who was known as Honest
John" In circus circles, was born in
Germany. and came to this country
when he was IA years old. His first
position was in a shooting gallery at
Coney Island. He worked there several
years and then secured concession for
himself in the resort, and last year sold
out for $4,000. He ran several carnivals
throughout the Middle Atlantic, New
England and Southern States, and re-
Gently bought an animal show and was
preparing to send it on the road.
His first wife died several years after
their daughter was born, and fifteen
years ago he married Miss Mohr, whose
father was a Philadelphian and who had
an interest in the carnivals Mr.. Mohr
died several years ago.
The police do not see any connection
between the murder of Brunen and the
robbery of the Brunen home in July,
1920. when two bandits entered the house
during the absence Of Mr.. Brunen and
compelled Mrs. Brunen to hand over
5000 in cash and jewelry.

BELIEVE HOME RULE BILLS
WILL BE KILLED AT ALBANY

''On such an important subject do
not think any half-baked proposal
should be put into an amendment"
Gov. Miller said. THE way to do this
thing and get sound amendment is
to select people who will give 1t very
serious study and have an adequate
amendment prepared.
There seems TO be no difference OF
opinion In any quarter as to the inn
portance of extending the power OF
municipalities to govern their own af-
fairs. Everybody is agreed to that.
The only question is how Ii can best
by act OF the Legislature without any
amendment to the Constitution. but
when it comes to changing the Consti-
tuition that is a matter that should be
studied carefully by experts. l mean
by men who understand the Consttu-
ton and also the operation of munich
pal government
1T is not necessary to wait for a
constitutional amendment, which would
take several years to get, to get home
rule. II the Legislature were to provide,
as 1t can, that local matters are to be
decided locally, and would not pass all
these laws continuing the very manda-
tory provisions complained of, then there
would be home rule. But the people who
are shouting loudest for home rule are
forever coming here beseeching me to
sign bills which violate all its principles
I'm the case of New York. for ex-
ample, the charter can take care of the
whole home rule question without any
constitutional amendment II we can get a
workable charter. Then II the Legisla-
ture will keep it's hands Off and let the
charter be operated by the city officials
you will have all the home rule the city
can consume"

BUS I N TO RAILWAY

The Board Of Aldermen have before them an application for a
permit to operate a bus line between Perth Amboy and Railway.
The proposed route covers a rapidly growing territory which is d.
rectly affiliated with this city. 1t ought to be linked up by quick
and convenient transportation. Such a bus line as is suggested
would bring the residents of this district into direct communication
here and could not help but be beneficial all around.
The development in Woodbridge at the present time is to the
north of Grove street between st. Georges road and Barron ave-
nue.. The bus lines at the present time run down Main street to
Railway avenue and then to Port Reading and Carteret. The
Eoleys are on Railway avenue so that there is practically no
transportation for the rapidly growing section of Woodbridge
mentioned. The new bus line passing along ST. Georges road would
not only make it convenient for men employed in Perth Amboy
who live in that section of Woodbridge to get back and forth,
but it would bring the women in for shopping in Perth Amboy
stores.
Bus lines, It is true, are more or less of a nuisance on the road
~ far as general traffic is concerned. The greatest annoyance is
Che frequent stopping of the buses almost without notice to let off
and on passengers. With the highways so narrow that there is
room for only two lines of cars, the traffic coming in the opposite
direction makes it impossible to pass the bus from behind when it
stops In this manner and so the highway becomes congested. The
Hanger of collision, sometimes, is very great.
4 Buses, however, are a necessary evil. Hundreds of people
are depending on them and they aid greatly in building up IN
developed territory. They should be encouraged rather than dis
kouraged. But the time is coming when some regulations for buses
siong the highways will be necessary. Some scheme whereby def
mite stopping places can be arranged may be devised and at all
such places the buses before they stop can pull off to one side so as
hot to block traffic. Bus transportation is becoming too general
and is too essential to the public to have it go on in the present
more or less Indifferent manner. And the more bus lines there
are the greater will be the necessity for action along this line.
In the meantime, the permit for a new bus line to Railway
ought to be granted provided it is found that the applicant is a
Responsible person and can be depended upon to give the required
service. Once the people become familiar with it there ought to
be no question about it being a success. Incidentally, anything
in the line of transportation that will be a feeder for Perth Amboy
should be encouraged.

WINTER MAGIC

Far north in the Yukon and eastward to HUDSON pay,
the thermometer has dropped to 80 below zero and neavy
winter SHOWS are falling. Behold nature working mysterious
magic:
The ptarmigan birds colored plummage has suddenly
+urned white. This blends into the background OF snow,
making the pt~armingan invisible when sougnt oy Preyng
foxes and wolves. No man could think out q oet.er protec-
ton.
white Welding the expensive fur, ermine. This little ami
NAL does not need protection as much as the plump ptar-
miean. WHY the white? Nature provides it because white
fur is an insulator, prevents the escape OF bodily heat. tropical
people work the rule backward, wear Whne II dp-
serbs less external heat than colors.
Puny is our Intelligence, !" compared with nature.
Do Won hate winter? It's necessary. Prof. D. arthur
Thompson, in his "Outlne of Science analyses the biology
of the seasons.
Winter, he decides, comes after the great activity OF sum
mer by the law that rest must follow toll.
Most humans do their best work in winter, instead of rest
ing. That's because we live unnaturaly-have gradually
built up powers to enable us to carry on resaroless u e
IF we lived more naturally, nature would take better care
of us. Possibly disease germs and epldemlcs are natures
WAYS of furnishing us for straying from her fold.
We, DEFY winter yet during it are conscious OF repeated
attacks of Ianguors and sout Of sorts" feelings and moods that
we cannot understand. All these are our Inheritance OF the
more natural lives Of our ncestors-lnexorable laws OF ma
ture stirring in our blood and brains.
"Winter. - writes Thomson, sis a time OF sftng-the
time Of severest elimination. The rest and sleep OF winter are
often the necessary conditions Of the vigor OF another spring,
but in a deeper way it is through the sitting, w1nnoW1ng, prue
ming of elimination Of ages OF winters that there mas oeep
sprinp after spring of progressive evolution.
Let's see: It would be perfectly natural for us to toll IN
summer and autumn, accommodating surplus food, fuel, cloth
inc and shelter for winter. Then, from October to April we
could enjoy ourselves at ease, praying, visiting, thinking, Win
occasional sports such as fishing through the ice or hunting.
Would you prefer that kind of Life?
Alas! It might be natural, but mother would get Inc "a"
end of the deal. Her work would go on-cooking, cleaning,
mending and directing. Nature usually is klndIest to the
male.

Interior says that Canada is going
to be a keen competitor with all
ether countries Of the world for I'M
migrants.
Q. What are provisional stamps?
+. H. F.
A. Provisional issues of stamps
have been made from time to time
in different countries. This has
sometimes been done for the pur-
pose Of providing a new denomina-
ton for immediate use before 1t
was possible to obtain a new supply
of the stamps from the printers.
Provisional postage stamps are usu-
ally made by overprinting fiscal or
telegraph stamps for postal use, or
by surcharging certain values of
postage stamps of which there is a
surplus with a new value for which
there Is an urgent demand.
@. Where does Louisiana find a
market for Spanish moss?-H. M. s.
A. The Forestry Service says that
Spanish moss of Louisiana is sold in
every State of the Union, in even
country in Europe, in Egypt, South
Africa, Asiatic Turkey, Japan, ST.
IBERIA, the Philippines. Australia,
Mexico. South America, and the
West Indies. 1t is an interesting
commodity not only because 1t sup
plies a world wide demand, but for
the further reason that its total
value places 1t in an important posi-

ions, and saddles-and has been 80
employed for generations. Its use,
however, has greatly increased In
recent years. Louisiana is said to

worlds supply.
@. Was there any historical basis
for the poem 1.-THE boy stood on the
burnin,; deck PHI. P. T.
A. Mrs. Hemans' well known
poem is based on the tragic story
of Louis Casabianca, a French Of
ficer, captain Of the flagship
L'Orient, who was MORALLY wound
ed at the battle of the Nile. August
1, 1898. The ship caught fire, Casa
bianca's 1O-year-old son would not

A. Carpenters Hall, Philaeel-
phia, was built shortly after ITO as
an dSS6IuUt anu SluD AOA LILO SdA
penters' guild of that city. The first
Continental Congress met and the
second Congress also began its ses-
sions there.
+ @. Does the Government raise
the ducks that are banded and re-
leased?-W. r. w.
A. The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey says that these wild ducks are
banded by the bureau for the pur-
pose of studying their migrations.
These ducks are not raised by h
Department of Agriculture. but are
trapped, banded, and released for
the purpose Of studying of their
habits.
O. When were carriages invent
ed?-H. P.
A. The carriage Is as old as h
wheel. The first man who cut two
slices from q tree trunk and mount
ed them on an axle was the build
err Of the first carriage, but his name
is not a matter Of record. Histor-
ical data prove that mankind has
utilized wheels as q NEAR OF trans
portation from the earliest periods.
