TIME FOR ACTION ON AMBoY AVENUE

If there is to be anything done toward building a new
route for Amboy avenue, Strengthening the curve and elimi-
mating some of the grades, it is time the work was started.
The next move is up to the Board Of Aldermen. The free
holders have relinquished the control of the thoroughfare
and returned it to the city. The State Highway Commission
has provided for the improvement in its program for this
year. It is for the aldermen to say when.
In the first place, the formalties between the city and
the Barber Asphalt Company in exchanging the present
route for the new route must take place. Then there is con-
siderable grading and filling to be done. This ought to be
finished as soon as possible in order that it may settle and
furnish a firm foundation for the permanent pavement that
ought to be laid not later than next spring.
This work can be going on now without interfering
with traffic because the present route can be used until the
new route is ready. The present road, however, is not in
any too good condition even after the repairs made by the
Board of Freeholders. 1t will not be long until it will be in
the same deplorable state that it was before.
But as long as a new route is going to be constructed
it would be a waste of money to spend any more money on
the present road. 1t is important therefore, that work be
started on the new route as quickly as possible so that it
will be ready by the time the present road is worn out again.
By ignoring this important matter from week to week
the Board of Aldermen are wasting valuable time. They
have announced their intention Of doing this work; they
requested the return of the thoroughfare from the county
and the city engineer, on behalf of the city, has appeared
before the State Highway Commission and secured a pledge
of state aid in the matter. All of this has been done in good
faith. It now remains for the Board of Aldermen to proceed
with the work and get the new route in shape for the per-
manent pavement.

SWARMS OF PEOPLE

The popular notion about civilized congestion is exagee
ated.
We are getting the houses closer together, but living aus
tiers are not as congested now as they were 70 years ago.
Striking an average, the Census Bureau finds five NJ
sons to each dwelling. In 1850 the average home had six
cupants.
It is probable, too, that the average home is larger now tbs
in 1850. They had many big mansions in those days-but
great many more small homes, including log cabins in whic
kitchen, dining and living rooms were combined in one.
We moderns take a larger hoor-space, partition it off int
a greater number of rooms. We observe the smallness 0
each room-and get the notion that we are headed toward
an existence in piano boxes.

human beings have a swarming instinct-lke bees, ants,
schools of fish and herds of caribou.
Fear is back of this swarming instinct.
Men first banded together in a community for mutual
protection against wild beasts.
Later it was for protection against other communities of
men. It was discovered that it was easier to build a wall or
stockade around a village OF l,OoO people than to build lndl-
vidual walls or stockades around each of 1000 separate dwell
ings.
The swarming instinct, a form Of fear. started civiliza-
ton. Banded together, men discovered that each had a nat

barter-the primitive form OF business.
Misery loves company. So does joy. The swarming in

everything futile.

TWO DECK BOAT NEEDED

Announcement that the new ferryboat for the Staten
island Rapid Transit to ply between Perth Amboy and Tot
tenville has been launched and soon will be placed in COM
mission to replace the Tottenville now in use, is received
with a great deal of satisfaction here. 1t is to be regretted,
however. that the new boat is not to be so constructed as to
provide for four rows of automobiles on the lower deck with
foot passengers using the upper deck exclusively.
1t is to the interest of the ferry company as we'll as TO
the interest of Perth Amboy to keep as much of the automo-
bile traffic across Staten Island coming through this city as
possible. New York City is greatly increasing the automobile
facilities at the ST. George ferry thus encouraging the auto
lists to use the island route. This is going to make the con-
gestion at this end of the island all the greater If facilities
here are not also increased.
The Perth Amboy Rotary Club recently suggested TO
the owners of the ferry that the boats on the Perth Amboy-
Tottenville route be equipped with double decks using the
lower deck for automobiles exclusively, but it appears the
company has not seen fit to act on the suggestion. With
nlans well under way to have a new ferry operated from
Tottenville route be equipped with double decks using the
Arhov. the ferry between Tottenville and this city will feel
,be comnefition keenly unless it is able to take care of the
increased traffic that is bound to come within the next year
or two.
Four lines of cars instead of two on the ~ferryboats
would double the capacity of each boat. The logical time to
make such provision on the new boat is when 1t is being
built Some changes would have to be made at the ferry
for the landing of passengers from the upper deck,
hnt the increased revenue received as a result of carrying
4hot would he involved. The two-deck boat is the only solu-
lion for the congestion of automobile traffic which,, under
existing conditions, is constantly growing worse.

On Wednesday evening three men
escaped from the Middlesex county
workhouse and as one was from
Helmetta, I am interested. No no
tice was sent out by the keeper Of
the workhouse 1t the time of the
escape and umo have it that an
attempt was made to hide the es-
cape of Mahalski. The men walked
all the way from New Brunswick in
the prison uniform and spent the
night at this place and Spotswood
without an effort to conceal their
identity. Had word been sem out
to Jamesburg Spotswood and Hell
meta would these men not have
been retaken?
The first Helmetta knew of the
escape of their bad man" was when
a phone message was received here
asking whether the parents Of the
boy desired him captured or not.
Was it not the duty Of the warden
to make every effort to recapture
these men? Why was the escape
hidden from the sheriff and the
county detectives. No mention was
made until the newspapers dueried
the warden and then the accounts
show that he did not even know
their names.
If. as he admits. there are insult

lent retirement for a period of five
years, the deserted partner-most
people will agree Is justified in
taking steps to end the marriage.
In the past, the New York divorce
law made no allowances for such a
situation. A married woman had to
present the court (and at the same
time all of her friends and %acquaint-
nces) with certain u~nelevating facts
concerning her husband before she
could obtain her freedom. This ne
cessity, always regrettable. was also
impossible when the husband had
completely disappeared, AS a result
the Enoch Arden drama occurred
rather frequently in family life,
sometimes with ugly complications.
An Unusual Case
There is the case of one woman,
for instance, who was cruelty de-
serted by her husband. a young ac-
tor of rowing disposition, when their
baby was only three months old. The
young wife. herself scarcely more
than a child, worked and supported
he'd boy for ten years. At the end
of that time she received an offer OF
marriage from a wealthy business
man. She did not know what to do.
She had never heard a word from
her missing husband, and her
friends all assumed that he was
dead. SO did the man who wanted
to marry her. She could not afford
to go to some other state and secure
a divorce on the grounds of deser-
tion-chiefy because she did not
have the necessary money. but also
because she could not rely upon the
patience of her wealthy sutton. AS
she confided to a friend, ut was a
chance that had to be snapped up
quickly. And l took it,"
Three years later, as they say in
the movie captions, the actor hus-
band returned and found his wife
happily married to another man,
enjoying an attractive home and So
cial position and a delightful baby
girl. 1t was manifestly UP to him to
melt pathetically out of the picture
in the time-honored Enoch Arden
fashion, but he refused to accept his
proper cue. Instead, it occurred to
him that here was a fine opportunity
for blackmail. Not long after that.
the whole m~elodramatic story was
reported in the newspapers. The
wife had finally disposed of her
Enoch Arden by shooting him.
The ACCESSIBILITY of making a five
year period of desertion n of the
national grounds of divorce is now
being considered by prominent cler-
gymen and other reformers who r
interested In securing a national
amendment creating a uniform di-
vorce laws. If it is ever accomplish
ed. Mr. Swift will appear in future
history as n of the greatest liber-
ators of the ages.
