ton of Congestion in Re-
port to Aldermen

In the quarterly report submitted
by the police department at the
meeting of Board of Aldermen Mon
day night Chief Niels j. Tonnesen re
marks in part that the handling of
automobile traffic has become one
of the greatest of the city's prob
lens. AS a remedy he suggests that
two cross streets between the Cen
trail railroad and High street be
designated as parking streets for
automobiles, the object being to re-
lieve the congestion on Smith street.
The report cover the months of
April, May and June of this year.
During that period the department
made 447 arrests seventy-two being
made by the detective force and the
remainder by the uniformed men.
Forty-six crimes are listed among
the offences that resulted in the
arrests.
Fines collected in the recorders
court totalled s5,472, of which
amount the city of Perth Amboy re-
ceived $4,000, the county govern
ment $3,047. and the state S125.
Stolen goods recovered by the po-
lice has been valued at $~19,S47.35.
The detective force is responsible
for $1S,223.50 worth of the goods,
with the uniformed men recovering
the rest.
Patrolmen turned in reports Of
156 accidents during the period
covered by the report. Thirty-six
fires occurred. The detectives
worked on fourteen robbery cases
and succeeded in clearing up seven
OF them. Nineteen foreign countries
are represented among the 447 pris-
oners taken into custody.

earners and saver of the state.
Commissioner futile has kept in
close personal touch with the build
Ing and LOAF associations of New
Jersey and it has been largely
through his advice and encourage
ment that New Jersey has become
the leading state of the union in
this class of investment. These as
sociations which are composed of
many of the real people of the state
the home owners-are managed
by citizens, known for their trust
w~orthiness, and they in turn recog-
nize Commissioner Tuttle as a man
competent to be the business head
OF the state.
There are 66O,7o9 building and
loan members in the various asso-
Citations in New Jersey and of these
sS,656 live in Hudson county. The
building and loan members through
out the state. also. r going to be
told what 1uttle has done for this
method of saving and of how by his
personal service is,safe guarding
their savings.
From a Hudson county viewpoint
his candidacy is ideal. He is a tried
and true Democrat. standing for the
btSl III BdpilS l. AIld III Ills pdI ~.
At the same time he will never sac
rifce the interest of the state for
partisan purposes. He speaks out
on the great problems of the day
and there is no doubt as to where
he stands. C~ntrasted with the hesi-
lance of other aspirants is Commits
sioner Tuttie's outspoken views on
the great public utility and dry en-
forcement questions. 1t Is my be-
lief that this purely Democratic trait
OF being frank with the voters will
make him immensely strong.
For these reasons. therefore, I
will attempt TO gather into an eff
cient working organization all of the
men and women of Hudson county
who share with me these views on
Commissioner futile TO the end that
we may make him Democracy's

CfRING fashions in fiction run

a third-maybe more-of this sea-

1t is the lineal. though somewhat
aristocratic, descendant of the good
old Nick Carter breed, with the ven-

TT is odd to find a French ro-

THE MARRIAGE OF PATRICIA
PEPPERDAY. BY Grace Miller
White. Little, Brown & Co.

N NIA-S, uTlshL style, 1reS
~ from affectations. and a well
constructed plot make this
story a pleasantly acceptable speci-
men OF the thriller" type. Indeed,
in some of its scenes it rises above
the level of mechanical mystery
fiction and attains dignity and
human quality in its situations.
Moreover, the motivation of the ac-
ton is natural. One feels that the
characters are not merely perform
ing upon forced motives in order to
make story: what they do in their
varied adventuring arises logically
out of events, even though they are
rather theatrical happenings. The
whole story is a bit STACEY, but the
makeup and grease paint are not too
greatly in evidence. Most of the
cruder faults Of such stories are
notably absent, and if their place is
not wholly taken up by positive
virtues their absence is something
of merit.
Patricia is the girl among the
Pepperday triplets, and the whole
trio has just taken to the stage
when the tale opens, abandoning
their college training in order to
| help out in a family financial dis
aster. The almost too beautiful
Michael is wrongfully convicted of
murder, and there are other COM
plications. Patricia in the course of
her attempts to vindicate and free
her convicted brother manages to
fail in love with and marry the Dis
triet Attorney who has convicted
him-not knowing his real identity.
He is also unaware that she is the
convict's sister. The discovery
naturally leads ito an uncomfortable
situation, which the author handles
skillfully to soundly dramatic effects,
| though here. as elsewhere, she is
prone to drag out a scene to undu-
length. The rest of the working out
of the plot must be left to the reader
to follow for himself. Some of the
minor characters are very well done,
especially the half-witted daughter
of the landlady of the theatrical
lodging house where the murder
happened. The picturing of the in
sane. or nearly insane, is always a
skittisfS business. tending to be
either absurd or extravagant. In
this case it is unusually successful.
The story as a whole is inoffensive
to taste or morals-which is saying
good deal nowadays-and 1t GER
tainly moves.

THE HANDS OF NARA. BY Richard

HR. CHILD always has some
lW thing to say, as well as an
arresting manner OF saying
1t. From his earliest writing his
work has always had a more solid
content, a more matured thoughtful
ness, than is the case with most OF
our recently successful makers Of
fiction. The same quality that has
made of him a highly acceptable AM
bassador to Italy is evident in all his
writing. But, with all Difference to
his Excellency of the moment, this
novel is not quite his best, though
it does stand out head and shoulders
above the ruck of ephemeral fiction
1t has not the exact proportions or
the finish of his best short stories
some of which, especially some of the
earlier ones that appeared in the
Golfers of rather more than a decade
ago. belong in the very front rank
of such American work. And that ID
no mean compliment, since neither
before nor since has there been 50
much genuinely good short story pro-
duction as that which marked the
first ten years or so OF the century.
This novel is pitched in too high a
key. 1t opens with a truly splendid
overture, promising great things. but
as it progresses the orchestration
thins little and the final harmony
is Just a little fiat. But it is fun Of
