MARYLAND cities and towns received
their names largely from Indian

MAKING REAL

With the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Free
holders practically agreed on the need of immediate action
for putting Amboy avenue in first class condition there is
little doubt about the State Highway Commission doing its
part of the work.
The fact that Amboy avenue is a part Of Route No. 4,
the most heavily travelled highway in the state makes it
necessary that something be done. The reputation of the
state as well as the county and city is at stake. Besides, 1t
is absolutely essential that this road be kept open, but this
cannot be done if its condition is neglected much longer.
But the road has gone beyond the repair stage. II
would be a waste of money to attempt to patch 1t up In any
way except to serve temporarily as a detour. An entirely new
road is the only solution and that is what the authorities
have in mind. =
AS a new road must be built, therefore, the route sug-
eested across the property of the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company, eliminating some of the present grades and cut
ting off the long curve down to the railroad, appeals strongly.
1t may cost a little more 10 construct, but once it is done the
Improvement will be so great that it will well repay any
extra expenditure.
1t was real progress that the aldermen made yesterday
in their conference with the Board of Freeholders. 1t is
just such a get-together spirit on the part of public officials
that produces results. Yesterday a big step wa taken
toward solving one Of the greatest problems now confront
ing the city.
Having arrived at something like a definite plan for the
elimination of the grade crossings, and with the Amboy ave-
nus situation well in hand and on the way toward solution,
there is some semblance of order growing out of the chaos
of a few weeks ago.
1t is fitting that the Amboy avenue project should be
settled and out of the way before any other street pavement
is definitely agreed upon because there is no street improve
ment more essential to the city at large than putting this
important approach in fit condition.
With the work once under way the aldermen can turn
TO one of the other big projects pending and, by %co-opera-
lion and showing the same desire to do what is best for the
ity at large, real results are bound to be attained.

THE NEED OF AN ATHLETIC FIELD

The appearance before the park commission Wednes-
day night of a delegation of high school boys asking for a
running track on the Wonderland Beach property IS not
without its significance. Perth Amboy as a municipality
is doing little or nothing for its boys and girls.
True, there is a playground commission and a park
commission, but the city may have all the commissions in
the world and if no funds are appropriated little can be &C
complished. The paltry two or three thousand dollars ap-
propriated annually for parks and Fairgrounds only help to
make the city ridiculous. There is not enough money in
either of the funds to actually do anything. Every move
attempted that would be worth while is blocked for ne one
reason-not enough funds.
These high school boys want to do some talking for
Perth Amboy. They are training for a big athletic meet that
is TO be held at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadel-
phia the latter part of this month. High schools and pre-
paratory schools from all over this section of the country
will be represented. Thousands of people are interested.
TO have a part in such a contest is creditable to any city and
to have a winning team is no small honor.
The Perth Amboy high school has been woefuly lack
ing in the matter of sports in recent years. There has been
a lack of interest, perhaps, on the part of those who should
be the first to encourage the boys. There has been neglect
On the part of the city as a whole, but perhaps the main
trouble has been a lack of suitable grounds and equipment.
OF course, any athletic field that the park board might
establish could not be for the exclusive use of the high
school. But the high school pupils are not alone in the
desire for an athletic field. There are numerous clubs
throughout the city that are anxious for sach facilities. They
ought to have them
Healthy sports are a natural part of everybody's make
I'D. They ought to be particularly encouraged among the
Young people. No city, particularly a city of such a char
acter as Perth Amboy, can afford to neglect this feature of
municipal life.
There is a call for delegations from the various clubs
Of the city to attend the next council meeting in City Hall
Monday night to lay the matter of a suitable athletic field
before the aldermen, the idea being TO have the aldermen
transfer to the park board money enough to fit out this field.
There ought to be a big representation. 1t ought to be big
enough and influential enough to impress upon the alder
men the need OF doing something for Perth Amboy along
this line, .sxsA

OUTDOOR PRISON FOR FIRST
OFFENDERS SUGGESTED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, April 4-Ev
since selling liquor became illega
in the United States, prohibitionisti
and those holding the opposite view
have been more or less continuously
engaged in hurting figures at eacl
other to prove that crime has in
creased or decreased according Il
which side has the floor, since the
inauguration of the socalled dry era,
1t may be that the figures near
little, If anything, 50 far as liquor
is concerned. 1t is the general be-
lief that until the sale of liquor re-
ally is stopped, if this can be done,
figures for offenses like drunkenness
and disorderly conduct due to liq-
uor are not much of an indication of
better or worse conduct of the pub
lie under the restrictions of the
| Volstead law.
Those who have made q study of
criminology know that there are
many factors which enter into the
cause of court convictions. For
instance, every veteran policeman
knows that still, hot nights mean
an increase in fights and minor dis
orders. This is explained simply by
the fact that in congested sections
of cities people are driven out of
doors to seek some relief from the
heat. Such a night will drive some
men-and women, too, 10Y that mat
ter-into q state Oh M Compare

out this feeling in laughter

eral Feasibility. leading TO quarrels
and fights, is the result.
These are minor offenses-misde-
meanors. A general and great in
crease in crime cannot be put down
to such simple causes. And, what
ever the cause, there has been a big
increase in the more serious Of

virtually an impossibility. Doubt
less unemployment has something to
do with 1t. The national 'let down"
from the stimulus and excitement

are, it is a fact that the Federal
