RADIO FUTURE

A New York City department store has just sold 800
western Electric receiving and broadcasting station" at
1896 apiece.
This was at a special sale. The outfits are described as
'Bunt for the .. S. navy. Adopted by the U. S. government
as standard. Now in successful use on government ships.
Sets that have never been used"
This sale is a history-making event.
1t is the forerunner of best-grade radio at a low price.
The ad offering these sets for 1895 says "the estimated
cost of producing these sets today is $3.50, and the estimate
is conservative"
The production cost, however, will be reduced eventually.
Cheap radio of the best grade is inevitable. Remember,
watches were almost prohibitive in price to the average man
until Ingersol set out to make them for a dollar. So were
autos, until Henry Ford put on his thinking cap.
Another prophetic vision of radios future comes from
Wellesley, Mass, where Roger Babson, business expert, backs
a movement to build a wireless community church."
In this church, at different hours each Sunday, religious
services for all denominations will be conducted by radio.
For instance, Baptist would get their services 10 to IL in
the morning, then would follow hours for Methodists, etc.
What Babson has in mind is eventually a national radio
service by which isolated communities will get the best music
and the best preaching available.
The service will be picked up in the homes by other mil
lions of people, when high-grade radio outfits become cheap.
Mans greatest invention is the art of communication. Its
first form was speech. People began coming out OF their
separate and individual caves and congregated IN small set
Elements as soon as they were able to trade ideas and disarm
each others suspicious by exchanging words.
Writing was the next great invention, enabling people to
communicate over long distances, without coming face to face.
Then came printing. With it, the germ of real civiiza-
ton.
Next was the telegraph, evolved from the primitive sys-
tenn of communicating long distances by relays of tom-toms
or pufs from beacon fires.
The telephone crowded close on the heels Of the telegraph.
Now it's radio.
The next step may be mental ~telepathy.

@. Are Gretna Green marriages
legal? J. M.
A, After the abolition of Fleet
marriages in 1854 Gretna Green be-
came notorious as the place of cele-
bration of the marriages Of runaway
couples from England. In England
publication of banns and the pres
ence of a priest at the ceremony
were necessary, but to conclude a
lawful marriage in Scotland at that
time it was only necessary for an
unmarried couple to go before wit
nesses and declare themselves man
and wife. Gretna Green marriages
are now at an end, however, in con-
sequence of a law which DEGREES
that no irregular marriage contrac-
ted in Scotland shall be valid unless
one of the parties resides in Scot
land, or has done SO for twenty-one
days next preceding such marriage.
@. Which city is larger. New
York or London? o. H. L..
A. Satisticians say it is almost
impossible to compare the population
and area Of New York City and Lon
don. We submit the following fig
ures, however, from the Bureau of
SciSuS IoPOlts IOEV, oACdtCi NOW
York, 5,620,04S, Metropolitan dis
trict of New York, 7,910,415; 1921
Registration London, ~4,483,249,
Greater London, ~7,476,16S. Accord
ing to the areas of these two cities
Greater New York corresponds with
registration London, while the met
ropolitan district of New York cor
responds with the area of Greater
London.
@. How did the expression of
scot free originate? V. o.
A. Scot means a tax, contribu-
ton or fine. Scot free is a natural
combination of words conveying the
idea of being free without payment
of fine.
@. Can the right Of habeas cor
pus be denied in this country? f. A.

A. The constitution declares tina

THE ASSEMBLY DELEGATION

The assembly ticket of both parties shows the injustice Of the
present method of selecting men to this office. Chosen, as they are,
from the county at large, five of the six candidates this year come
from the Amboys. Three of them, Thomas L. Hanson, James j.
Murray and Andrew J. Wight, live and have their business in
Perth Amboy, while Wilton T. Apologize has his offices here.
Harold G. Hoffman is a resident of South Amboy. The sixth man
is Fred w. DeVoe, who halls from New Brunswick.
1t stands to reason that Middlesex county should not be rep.
resented in the assembly by all Perth Amboy men, especially as
the state senator from this county is also a resident of this city.
Mr.. DeVoe therefore may be considered to be in a favored class.
Two of the candidates now running were members of the
famous trio that went to the legislature from this county a few
years ago and gave such a good account of themselves. These two
men are Fred W. DeVoe and Andrew J. Wight. Democrats, both,
they openly defed the Democratic bosses then in power at Trenton
and showed considerable independence. They attracted no little
attention for their ability and high character and were a decided
credit to the county and an honor to the people who elected them.
With four other good men to choose from, to scatter the dele
cation as much as possible Harold G. Hoffman would make an ex
eellent legislator. In fact, Middlesex county is exceptionally well
equipped as far as assembly candidates are concerned. There is
nothing that can be said against any one of them.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Applet

Death
People on the average now die at
ffty-five. And the duration OF hui
man life averages eight years long
err than it was twenty years ago.
This good news comes from DR.. e.
II. Emerson of Columbia University.
He makes great promises for the
future.
Don't expect too much.
The AVERAGE human life a
been lengthened-largely by cutting
the death rate among children,
especially babies. But among peo-
pie who reach maturity, death still
comes at about the same age as IN
the old days.
/ British India reports that 1885
of it's residents were killed by snake
bite last year. About 3,400 others
were eaten by wild beasts. Disease
bearing jungle insects killed many
times more than snakes and wild
animals combined.
This makes the simple life of the
wilderness less attractive. However,
on a population basis, autos in
America are more deadly than the
snakes and beasts in India. More
highly civilized we become, the
more dangerous life is.
Prosperous
Robert Capone. owner of the
March Hare tea room in Boston,

quet for college sorority girls. They

stuck with the eats.
He goes out to round up fifty
starving unfortunates in Boston
parks. The offer of a free meal
only lures fifteen. Hundreds "
others, solicited. yawn as they
bask in the sun and say they are so
full already that they couldn't eat
another mouthful.
A year ago, Capone would have
been mobbed by hungry men. It's
Just enc more indication that Old
Man Hard Times is crawling back
into his coffin.
Safety
In the Indian jungles the semi
savage dodge snakes and man-kili-
ing beasts. In civilized cities we

Man is unable to escape from
danger. Nature Is wise, it's all Tor

THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR

Second on the ticket are the candidates for governor. Here
are two good men. Both have proven their ability and either one
ought to make a good governor. The Republican candidate, Will
liam N. Runyon, has served with distinction in both houses of the
legislature representing Union county. He also has the advantage
of having served a short time as acting governor. He is clean-cut
and a decided credit to his party.
The Democrats have former Judge George S. Silzer as their
gubernatorial candidate. Everybody in Middlesex county knows
Judge SMzer. He has an excellent record in the legislature whe, e
he represented this county in the senate. He was one of the chi {
hackers of Governor Woodrow Wilson in putting through all the
reform and progressive legislation that so distinguished the Will
son administration. Judge Sizer is greatly handicapped, however,
by the company he keeps. In the first place, he was the candidate
picked by Frank Hague and because of his Hague associations he
has had to team up with Edwards and has, with much reluctance,
been compelled to stand for the booze ring dis
guised as light wine and beer. With Judge Silzer it is a case of a
good man being dragged down to the level of the man who heads
the ticket on which he runs.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR

With the sample ballots now in the hands Of the voters It is
possible to give more careful consideration to the candidates. At
the top of the respective columns are the names of the men run
ming for United States senator. The two opposing candidates and
the principles for which they stand are as different as day is from
night.
The forces of law and order, the upholders of the constitution,
the men and women who stand for civic betterment and all that is
uplifting and good in government will vote for Joseph S. Freling-
huysen who heads the Republican column. He stands foursquare
on his record which is as an open book. He has not lodged an
issue. He has proven himself to be a man of courage and ability.
In striking contrast, Edward l. Edwards, who heads the DEM
oeratic ticket, has a record as governor that has brought the state
into disrepute throughout the nation and has disgraced every chi-
zen. He has persBtently lodged every issue except one, which is
no issue at all. He has encouraged defiance of the law and every
bootlegger, rum dealer and the lawless element generally are for
him. He seems to glory in the company he keeps. There ought to
be no hesitancy whatever in voting for Joseph S. Frelinghuysen for
United States senator.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE

In the case Of the congressman the voters have two excellent
men to choose between. 7. Frank Appleby, the Republican candi
date. is just completing his first term at Washington, where he has
made an excellent record. He has done things during his two
short years in office that men who had served many years failed
to accomplish. The waters of Raritan bay, for instance, have at
last received recognition and a thirty foot channel from Sandy
Hook is now in sight. To retire Mr.. Appleby at this stage of the
game would be a calamity. 1T would show how little the people
appreciate faithful service.
Elmer Geran, the Democratic candidate for congress, is out Of
his place on the ticket. He ought to be at the head running for
United States senator and then the Democrats would have a leader
worthy of their great party. Mr.. Geran is a fine fellow, much
aD6vethe ordinary and is capable in every respect. But that is no
reason why Congressman Appleby who has done so much for his
district during the past two years, should be denied an endorse
ment at the polls.
