@ Will you please explain how
the amateur golf championship
tournament is conducted and how
it differs from the open?-D. c..
A. In the amateur championship
in which only amateurs may hay
al, the contestants play an eighteen
hole elimination or quallhcation
round at medal play. The sixty-four
players making the lowest scores
then play a second eighteen holes
and the thirty-two players with the
lowest scores in this round are then
paired for match play which pro-
ceeds with the defeated players
dropping out after each match until
but two players are left for the final
thirty-six holes. The winner Of the
finals is the champion and the man
who played with him is the runner
ur. If they are tied at the end OF
thirty-siX holes they continue to
play until one of them wins a hole.
In the open championship, in which
both amateurs and professionals
may contest, elimination or quality
ing rounds are played to select a
stipulated number OF contestant
usually sixty-four and ties for the
las. place-who then play seventy
two holes at medal play. The play
er VIII IldhCS II io"SSs oCoNO
the seventy-two holes wins the
championship. In case of a tie for
the low score the players in tne lie
meet in a play-off at t~hirty-siX
holes. The winner, if a professional,
receives a cash prize; il an amateur,
he receives plate of the value OF the
cash prize. The club to which the
winner il attached or belongs also
has the custody for one year OF the
cup which is emblematic of the
championship. The essential differ
epce between the amateur n ;he
open is that the former is contested
at match and the latter at medal
play.
@. How many passengers will an
escalator carry in an hour?-E. -.
A. The capacity of an escaia-
tor depends upon its speed and the
width of it's steps. There are no
mechanical limitations to the rate
of speed, but engineers have found
that a speed of about 100 feet a
minute il most satisfactory. AT
this rate of driving 1000 steps per
hour arrive at the landing. and an
escalator five feet in width, each
step of which would readily accom-
modate three people, would have a
maximum capacity of 10000.
@. How long has Paris green
been used to kali potato bugs?-
1. l. O.
A. Paris green is said to have
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-09-08

been first used to destroy the po-
tato pest in 1867 in Michigan.
@. How far apart are the
sources Of the Rhine and RhoNe
rivers?-E. c.. s.
A. The sources of the Rhine and
Rhone are about three miles apart.
The length OF the Rhine is 500
miles; of the Rhone, 504 miles. The.
former river empties into the Monty
Sea; the latter into the Gulf q
Lyons and the Mediterranean.
O.. What is the origin of the
name of the Mormons?-J. C. c.
A. The name Mormon" origi-
mated with the name "Moroni"
said to be that of the angel. who
according to a statement made by
Joseph Smith, the founder of the
Mormon church, appeared to him
September 81, 1928.
Q. From which foreign country
do we import the most merchan.
disc "A. V. Z.
A. During the fiscal year 1921.
22 this country imported merchan-
disc to the value of ~$307,9S4,319.
fromCanada. Japan follows closely
with $307,514,9 95. The United
Kingdom las third place in this re.
spect, their exports to the United
States amounting to $27~0,353,653.
@. Who said there is no wrong
without a remedy?-H. W.
A. mo wrong without a remedy
is one of the ruleh and maxims of
equity, and it is not definitely known
who first gave utterance to 1t.

INFLUENCES BEHIND THE BOND ISSUE

The Motor Truck Club of New Jersey is enthusiastic
tally in favor of the forty million dollar bond issue for COM
pleting the state highway system in the shortest possible
time. 1t is natural that it should be. This organization
looks after the interest of the truck owners and the truck
owners capitalize every mile Of improved roads, making
their profits out Of money invested by the public.
Motor trucks furnish one of the modern means Of trans
portation. They have come to be almost as essential in
business and industry as the telephone, the elevator and
other comparatively recent inventions. Likewise, the mo-
tor bus has found a permanent place in carrying passengers
throughout the suburban districts. But it is also a fact that
these trucks and buses do the greatest damage to the i'm
proved roads. 1t is because of the heavy loads that they
carry that such expensive roads are necessary. The public
foots the bill while the truck and bus owners get. the benefit
The motor trucks are in direct competition with the
railroads. The buses are in direct competition with the
trolley lines. Yet the public do not build railroads and troll
lev routes and maintain them for the benefit of the railroad
and trolley companies. Because OF the awful wear and tear
on the improved roads caused by the trucks and BUSES 1t
is logical to ask the truck and bus owners to pay more
toward the building and maintenance of the costly pave
ments.
The proposition before the voters this fall is to bond
the state for $40, 900, 900 which amount is to be spent on
the highways of New Jersey in addition to the millions
already being raised through taxation and federal AID. Inc
patent pavement interests which have a strangle hold on the
state at the present time, are putting up an energetic cam
paign in favor of the bond issue and it is natural that they
should. The way contracts are awarded now it means mil
lions of dollars in their pockets. And the truck owners
naturally want the people to put up the money because it
means thousands of dollars in profits for them.
But the average taxpayer who has to carry the burden
and who is already overloaded with taxes will think twice
before he votes in favor of such a proposition. Everybody
wants good roads and good roads will continue to be built
even if this forty million dollars bond issue is { defeated.
The state has several millions of dollars to spend in this
direction each year and as long as the present methods are
in vogue. with thousands of dollars wasted in royalties, it
is enough without adding $4,000, 900 in a single lump to
be so squandered Honest, conscientious work on the part
of the State Highway Commission in handling the funds al
ready available is all that is necessary to give New Jersey
an excellent system of highways within a reasonably short
time.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Amer-
lean citizens who come 10 Wash
ington in the government
whether to elective Offices, lei as
those of senator and representative
in congress-, or to appolnt1Ve ofl-
ces. learn a great deal about prac-
teal business methods and finance.
The government is so closely aliled
with business that the servants OF
the government are thrown into
close contact with the great BUSH
ness machine.
These officials may be divided in
to two groups, differentiated by the
things which they learn concerning
| national business affairs. One group
is hat which learns from tho tip
sters and lobbyists. This group's
members may be sub-divided lnto
those who go home broke ana go
home rich, the former sadder but
wiser men, the latter often with &C.
casional pricks from their con-
| sciences. The other general group
il composed of those who apply
themselves to q scientific study of
the information which their n
| tons legitimately bring before them.
| These usually stay out OF business
| entirely or GO into 1t in a IN
so cautious that they are successful.
In every group of men, whether
they are ditch-diggers or statesmen,
there will be found some suscepti-
BILE to the W~allingford call OF se'
| rich quick. The halls of congress
and the ante-rooms of the eXecu-
tive offices of the government VIII
have lust as many lobbyists and
sure-thing men in them as feel they
will find a welcome. The number OF
both elective and appointive officials
who do welcome such parasites has
been growing fewer and fewer
every year but there are some lett.
The lobbyist who seeks to curry
favor with q member OF eltner
House or senate frequently VIII give
him tips on the stock marker MOI
infreouently these statesmen act
upon such information. Sometimes
the tips are good. More often they
arc not. But it is a part of human
frailty that the gambling tempera-
ment never loses hope n so TIES
continue to be taken and acted upon
There have been not a few instances
of country lawyers, doctors, store
keepers, or farmers who nave come
TO Washington and been begulled by
the lobbyist and the smooth conn
dence man. Most of these go ho'ns
like shorn lambs.
What Wise Ones Can Do
The other group is the careful
and conservative one-the scientih'
students of economic affairs. Prob,
ably there is no place in the worit
where so much information is avail
able concerning the economic statui
not only of this nation, but OF III
nations of all the world, as In Waah
