PERTH AMBoY,s BUILDING BOOM

Perth Amboy is rapidly developing a building boom.
With the announcement of Albert Leon that he has awarded
the contract for his new store at Smith and King streets
there are four large structures either under wav or about
to be started.
Mr.. Icons store which will be six stories high. will be
Perth Amboy's first sky-scraper-at least it will look like a
sky-scraper in comparison with other buildings here. 1t
will be a decided credit to the city, marking another step
forward in building construction. That Albert Leon should
be the first to give Perth Amboy a building of this kind is not
surprising for Mr.. Leon has always been among the leaders
in city progress and enterprise. His spirit of optimism and
confidence in Perth Amboy has gained for him a place
among the foremost citizens of the city and county and his
reputation as a business man and man of affairs has spread
throughout the state.
Pc \ Another big improvement on Smith street will be the
taew store to be erected by Roth & Weisberg. This we'll e-
tablished furniture house has had a wonderful growth and
when its new store is completed Perth Amboy will have an
other business block of which it can produly boast.
These two important changes on Smith street will 80
a long way toward adding to the metropolitan appearance of
the city's main business thoroughfare. It is only another in
dication of what the future of the city will be.
Besides these two business blocks, the excavation for
the new home of the Young Mems Hebrew Association is
about completed and construction work will soon begin. This
is one of the biggest jobs that has been undertaken in the
city since the war. 1t is going to keep a great many me-
chanics busy for many months.
Within the past week or two work has been started at
n.-ette and Mechanic streets for the erection of a hand
5srvwEatase new high school building for ST. Mary's parish. Here
again old structures that have passed their usefulness are
making way for a modern building of the finest type.
This building activity which includes many smaller con-
tracts means much for Perth Amboy. 1t ought to put an end
20 the croaking that has been going on lately and cause every
loyal Perth Amboyan to take pride in his city, boost at every
opportunity and help get the old town going forward again
at the pace it had set for itself before the war when it was
known as the Pacemaking City.

CRAZY STYLES

STYLES are always adjusted to the national state OF mind.
And the return of normally is shown by the present exit OF
Jazz clothing designs. So says Louis Rubin, secretary OF the
American Clothing Designers Association.
Louis, the national state Of mind has little to do with 1t.
The change, as always, is In the state i mlhu OF some ueSisn-
ers and manufacturers.
The iazz STYLES. that are scheduled to go into storage with
mothballs. did not reflect unbalanced or neurotlc mental con-
dition among the tvast majority" of the American people.
Freak styles come in cycles, periodically, regardless OF the
national state of mind. Fifteen years ago was an era OF
horse without jazz. Yet the lads OF that day wore the
craziest clothes known to our generatlon-pegtop trousers,
sboestrngs for neckties and enough buttons on a suit to load
a dozen shotguns.
When it comes to clothing, the mass of people are IN the
predicament of a paid in-advance boarder who has to eat what
is put before him or go hungry.
We take what we get-What is handed to us by resource
full brains turning handsprngs to stimulate clothing sales.
Rebellion against abrupt style-changes, which play havoc
with the average persons pocketbook, would be certain II IL
were not for our instinct of imitation. Man is more initiative
than the monkey.
The imitativeness is mental as well as physical. This ex-
plains the periodical national switching from one cure-all to
another illusion.
Short skirts came in as a "freakish" style, yet they are
sane and sensible. Now the decree goes forth, that to be IN
the swim the short skirt must be discarded for a long one.
This doesn't reveal any change in the national state OF the
feminine mind, for nine out of ten women are about as keen
to give up their short skirts as they are to gather wrinkles.
But groups of manufacturers decide to stimulate sales ana
move stocks of cloth. So, by elaborate staging, the long SKIRT
will be forced On women again.
1t is a bitter pill for the girl who scrimped and saved ana
went without adequate lunches to get enough money u Duy
qshort skirts. She is contemplating the grim truth that a long
skirt can be shortened but a short skirt cannot be lengtneheo.
Fashion is a cruel and unjust Simon Legree.
The whole system is as senseless as if word went out tnat
every one must tear down his frame house and puHd a rlck
enc, or be old-fashioned.

ANOTHER srEP FORWARD ON AMBoY VENUE

Amboy avenue improvement is one step nearer realiza-
ion. With all the various complications Strengthened out
SO that now the Board of Aldermen have everything in their
own hands there is nothing to prevent the city going ahead
with the work.
After some delay the aldermen took the matter up at
their last meeting, requesting the city treasurer to file a debt
statement preparatory to issuing bonds for the Improvement.
The resolution which was passed sets forth that it is the in
tention of the board to cause Amboy avenue to be re-algned
between Spa Spring road and the city line and to cause Am
boy avenue thereafter to be permanently improved.
The debt statement will be forthcoming at the next
meeting, no doubt, whereupon the bonds can be issued and
the contract awarded. There is no time to be lost and the
preliminaries should be gotten out of the way as quickly as
possible. 1t is necessary to have the cutting and filling done
so as to allow for settling. Then the permanent pavement
can be laid the first thing next year. The aid of the State
Highway Commission has been assured.
The present road is none too good and as long as a
change is going to be made it would be folly TO spend any
more money on it. Before it becomes utterly impossible
The new road ought to be completed. Knowing what the
winter wear on a highway means, it is plain that the new
route must be ready early in the spring. This years exper-
ience ought not to be repeated especially when there has
been a whole year in which to make the necessary changes.

The band concerts which are now

they will gain our city, especially

children, will more than upset any
expense that it may entail.

municipal bathing beach with
amusements. 1t is a crying need OF
our city, which deserves the serious
consideration of III Board of Alder
men at the earliest opportunity.
