THE BAND

There was a big crowd out to hear the first band CON
cert Wedncsday night in City Hall Park. The attendance
proved tina; The concerts are popular. While there was some
disappointment, the concert as a whole was a success and
those to follow will be even better.
In the first place, a little more cooperation is needed
on the part of those more or less interested. The Musicians
Union, instead of entering into the spirit of the movement
to give something to the people, persists in making as much
trouble as possible. Instead of gladly and willingly co-oper-
ating and doing everything within their power to assist, the
union is fxacting its pound of flesh, STOPPING to some petty
tactics that only helps to discredit unionism when a great
public benefit of This kind is involved.
Then the Board Of Aldermen, especially the lighting
committee, certainly showed little interest in the concert
"Wednesday night. The light furnished for the band was
miserable and because of the location of what light there
was, the band had to be placed in a very inconvenient place.
More CO. operation from the city in the way of light would
help a great seal. These concerts are given for the purpose
Of making Perth Amboy a more pleasant place in which ia
spend the summer. Those who are arranging them are Civ
ing considerable time spending some of their money TO make
them possible. The least that can be expected is that The
city oificialo will give every assistance possible.
Another handicap at the concert Wednesday night was
the lack OF a band stand. The music has go. to have a chance
to spread out over the crowd. Without a band stand the mu-
sicians have the people crowding about them and they can-
not hear. Thanks to the generosity Of the Young Mems Heb
.rew~Assaciation, this defect will be remedied next time as
The Y. M. II. A. has offered the use of a portable stand large
enough TO scat twenty-five or thirty musicians. City Elec-
trician FRANKIE also promises better light the next time,
which is gratifying
The musicians also claim that it is impossible to give
satisfactory concert music with loss than twenty five pieces
III he band. Yielding to their superior Judgment, it has been
deemed wise 10 increase the number of pieces to twenty
five. This will use up a little more of the funds at each con-
cert, but it has been decided to have better concerts and
fewer of Them than to stretch Out The number and sacrifice
Inc quality of The music,
On the whole, the band concerts are a decided feature
for the summer in Perth Amboy. They are going to be more
and more enjoyed. The Perth Amboy Concert Band, which
gave the concert Wednesday night, considering the handi-
caps it had, did very well. This band is going to be given
another opportunity to perform when conditions are more
advantageous.

PIGEON BREEDING TOLD OF
BY MIR. HASkIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskih

WASHINGTON, July 11-More
people breed racing pigeons than
race horses 1t is claimed that
more people are interested in pig
con racing than in horse racing. 1t
is even prophesied that pigeon az
ing will rank soon as M of the ma
tional sports.
These facts may be astonishing to
the man who has never watched a
thoroughbred homing pigeon come
in at the end of an exciting 500 mile
race. To the pigeon fans of the
country the only wonder Is that any.
| one can be oblivious to the fascina-
ton of this noble bird.
There are $4,000 breeders of pig
cons in the United States. They
range from the country buy who has
a few pairs to the commercial
breeders who sell several hundred
squads a month. In this city there
are two PAGES where the pigeon can
be seen at its best. One of these in
the Naval Air Station where the
homers are bred for the service
The other is the farm of James
Baird which is said to contain the
most expensive and complete pig
o lofts in the country.
During the war the Army and
Navy gathered together the best
possible collection of homing pig
cons and the best experts to handle
them. Now the Navy still uses pig
cons as messengers between naval
planes and battleships. But the
army practically has disbanded its
bird messenger service, and many
valuable birds are now in private
hands.
Baird has among his 1000 birds
many fine pedigreed homers. And
not only that, but he has two ex-
perts, Lieut. J. j. McAtee and AL
bert jacobson, training them.
Lieut.. McAtee who organized the
naval pigeon service is called the
| greatest authority on racing pigeons
in the country. jacobson was for
merry in the Department of Agri-
culture and he has the reputation of
being the foremost handler of racing
pigeons. Both men know pigeons,
not only their habits. but their psy-
chology and personality az well.
They tell you that some pigeons
will fly best when they have eggs in
the nest others fly best when the
young birds are just Matched. And
they will point to any number of
pigeons in a loft and tell you their
p~eculiarities in this line.

clTY's PART IN GRADE CROSSING elimination

1t is time for the Board of Aldermen to give some in
structions TO the city engineer regarding the changing G of The
grade of the Central railroad tracks through the city. The
railroad engineers have been at work here for some time
and it will not be very long before actual construction work
will begin. The city has a vital interest in the matter and
city engineers ought to be in close touch with what is going
on all the Time.
But what is even more important than keeping in touch
with what the railroad engineers are doing, is the necessity
of changing the grades of the streets and relaying water and
gas mains and such conduits as may be under grounds AMI
which will be affected by the cut that the railroad will make.
There is a vast amount of work that the city must do in this
ard and unless a start is made pretty soon the grade
8 ssing elimination will be held up by the city's failure to
its part.
One of the most serious matters is the changing of
hVslEystem. All kinds Of complications are likely to
-l1id Il is time that the problem was tackled. When
o. .iread company begins digging the city ought to be pre-
4 lied to do lis part so that there will be no hitch in keep
: ing the work going until the job is finished.
Appar emily the aldermen do not realize what a big ur-
dertaking this grade crossing elimination is or they would
be looking after the city's interests better than they are.
There is q vssl amount of work to be done and it is going TO
nacost the city considerable money. With the railroad COM

Doubtless if you are sufferer from in

p~ancreatin, charcoal, drugs and vari-

things will not cure your trouble-in
some cases do not even give relief.
But before giving up hope and decld-

the effect of a little Bisurated Magne-

Donate, c~itarte, or milk, but the pure
Bisurated Magnesia which you can OBJ
tain from practically any druggist IN
either powdered or tablet form.
Take q ~teaspoonful of the powder or
two compressed tablets with a little
water after YOU next meal, and see
what a difference this makes. 1t Will
instantly neutralize the dangerous,
harmful acid in the stomach which now
causes your food to ferment and sour,
making gas, wind, flatulence, heart
burn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy
feeling that seems to follow most every
thing o eat.
You will find that provided you take
a little Bisurated Magnesia Immediately
after a meal, you can eat almost any,
thing n enjoy 1t without any danger
of pain or discomfort TO follow and
moreover, the continued use of the BIZ
surated Magnesia cannot injure the
stomach in any way so long as there
are any symptoms of acid indigestion.
