GooDBY, FOREVER!

A beautiful young lady, after exploring this life for %
years, disappears. She leaves this note in her room:
"Dear One: When you look on my cold dead face you
will realize. Your Little Chum."
In three words, "cold dead face" she says more than the
average professional writer could say in a chapter.
Did it give her joy, this thought that her loved one
would experience acute mental agony when he looked on
her 'cold dead FACET Apparently.

to $4,000 a year for the entire nation.
All suicides are due to self-pity, which is just another
name for exaggerated estimate of the individuals lmpor-
lance.
Suicide has two purposes: g
FIRST: To escape from an uncomfortable situation.
SECOND: To inflct misery on others-such as gazing on
the ''cold dead face"
Every one should indelibly get into the brain the fact
that the temptation to commit suicide is a phase OF insanity,
which will pass quickly if the wretched person seeks joyful
company or books. :,
People who are tempted to do away with themselves, and
who conquer the impulse, never look back to their decision
with regret. -, 80
We should never lose sight of the truth that, while things
NAV look black now, with apparently no escape from trouble,
there is an escape from every trouble, and there ALWAio
comes a turn for the better. The blacklist hour Is just before
dawn.
Most suicides are cowardly. And all are futile, for we
cannot ESCAPE from our troubles. We.carry them with us, be-

TIME NOW TO LOOK AHEAD

The Board of Aldermen have got to do something better than
merely to vote unanimously to do Everything in their power to
comply with the request of the Public Utility Commission re-.
garding the grade crossing elimination. This grade crossing
project is not a new thing. 1t has been under discussion ever since
Mayor Garretson's administration several years ago, and for more
than a year, now, negotiations have been under way and it was
known from the time they started that something definite would
be done. Yet the aldermen took no steps to prepare for doing their
part of the work.
1t seems impossible for Perth Amboy to to have far-sighted
officials who can look ahead to the big projects that are to come
up and prepare beforehand for eventualties so that when the
time arrives the city will be ready. These are days for men of
vision in municipal affairs. But it seems that under the present
regime nothing can be done until the emergency is at hand and
then the city has to take what it can get, as in the case of the plans
for the elimination of the grade crossings, or finds itself in an
embarrassing position by not having the funds, or the means Of
raising them, to do what it is called upon to do.
What Perth Amboy wants is a little more looking into the
future and making plans accordingly. Within the next year or
two the new state highway bridge will be completed and Perth
Amboy will have an altogether new traffic condition on its hands.
Under the present policy this problem will be ignored until the
bridge is finished and the emergency is upon us; then, amid more
or less confusion, the aldermen will probably consider the matter
and endeavor to meet the situation. But it will be another EN-.
barrasing situation.
There can be no remedy for the crises that are at hand, but
there is no excuse for being caught in such a predicament again.
Give the City Plan Commission enough money to work with for
another year, even if something else has to be ignored for the
time being, and then whoever may be in charge of the municipal
government in the future, when the big projects confront them,
will at least have some plan to guide them.
The city plan as prepared by the City Plan Commission does
not necessarily have to be adopted. That is a matter for the alder
men to decide. But it would mean that the city would have a plan
carefully thought out long beforehand that would enable the alder
men to act inteligently on any proposition that might come up in
the way of municipal development.
Other important cities have plans prepared for years ahead
and when anything come up in the way of a permanent improve
ment the project is always considered in relation to the plans
for other things. In this way the municipality grows Systematically
and with a definite aim always in vew-an aim that means a bet
ter, healthier and more beautiful city in which to live and do bust
ness.
Perth Amboy certainly has a lesson to learn in this matter Of
the elimination of the grade crossings. If the lesson is needed the
City Plan Commission will be given the funds necessary to continue
the good work already so well under way.

STATE JOBS AND REDUCING TAXES

The merry game of handing out plums is about to begin at
Trenton. What a farce it all is. Former Governor Stokes, chair
man of the Republican state committee, writes to Assemblyman
Evans, who is slated to be speaker of the next House, suggesting
measures for reducing taxes, which is only another way of express
ing a desire for economy. Governor-elect Sizer is known to be
for lessening the tax burden. 1t is a laudable ambition and some
thing that the people are looking for.
But the sincerity of these state leaders in the matter of cutting
down taxes is to be tested by their action. In the handling out of
jobs for the coming session Of the legislature there will be bill
clerks, doorkeepers, pages and whatnot, all at handsome salaries
and with a pass on the railroads, merely to "'take care'' of the
faithful.
Each county has its applicants. The representatives from each
county vie with each other in getting as many Jobs for their
home workers as possible. If there are not enough plums to go
around, more places are created.
Some of these appointees seldom go near the State House, yet
they are fed out of the public treasury adding to public expense.
Let the legislature begin by cutting out the sinecures at Trenton
and eliminating the awful extravaganza that is so apparent on
every side during a legislative session and they will be doing much
toward reducing taxes.

MORE O NATIONAL
FINGER PRINT SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-There
| has been SO much talk about finger
prints as a means of Identification
that it would seem as If everyone
must know something about the SUD-
| ject. Detectives, however, say that
general knowledge of finger print
| SCIENCE is vague and that a good
deal of what people believe. about
it is inaccurate.
This is said to be true even of po-
lice officials who regularly deal
with identification problems. The
question of finger prints arises in
almost every big crime mystery and
we might think that every official
and employe engaged in ferreting
| out criminals would be keenly aware
of the Importance of prints. But are
they? Far from it.
IL. H. Wilder and Bert Wentworth
in an elaborate exposition on the
subject of Identification, point out a
| practically ideal situation which OBJ
tains in Lyons. France. When a
report is made to police head
quarters there that a murder or rob-
| berry has been committed, instant
orders go out that nothing in the
place where the deed occurred is
to be touched. Then finger print
experts are sent out at once to study
the premises for prints left on win
dows, door knobs. weapons, walls.
In contrast to this these experts
give a story of this country. A pros
ecuting attorney picked up a z
used in a crime, rubbed his hand
along the handle to brush off the
dust, and asked a finger print X
pert in all seriousness il he could
find any significant prints on it.
These contrasting stories show a
fundamental difference in attitude
towards a crime. The police chief
at Lyons takes it for granted that
every crime may become a trouble
| some mystery and he approaches 1t
| as such. His carefulness about fin
| ger prints and removal of objects
may turn out to be altogether
unnecessary. The criminal may be
| quickly discovered. But he believes
in preparedness.
Only too often the American atti-
tude seems to be to regard a crime
as no mystery at all until it actually
proves itself such. Then skilled de-
tectives are set feverishly to work
on stale clues and there is gener-
ally a great deal of fuss made over
the fact that innumerabie people
have touched everything about the
scene OF the crime. 1t is practically
impossible then to do much with
finger prints, and ye suddenly fin
ger prins become the most sought
after clue. But in the next mystery
the same sequence Of events occurs.

ONLY HALF RAISED

1t requires at least $1,000 a year to run the Home for the Aged
in this city and that amount of money must be contributed largely
by the public. For such a worthy institution it ought not to be
hard to raise this in Perth Amboy and vicinity and it ought not to
be necessary for those who are giving their time to the manage
ment Of the Home to go out and beg and scrape for the money,
either.
The fact remains, however, that after nearly two weeks of ap-
peals only a little more than half the required sum has been raised
to keep the Home going for another year. And nearly all of that
has been secured through personal solicitation on the part of one
or two leaders in the movement. This seems hardly fair, The
Home for the Aged is worthy of better support than it is receiv-
