ACTION ON COAL
lAT WOODBRIDGE
Fuel Commission Meets to
Act in Serious Shortage in
e Township

WOODBRIDGE, Dec. 16.-Fol-
lowing out the plan of the township
officials outlined in September when
they called a meeting of the coal
dealers. action has been taken to re-
lieve the coal situation in the town
ship At that time the committee
man-at-Large Louis Neuberg APP
POINTED a fuel commission, consist
ing of f. f. Anness, G. l.. Boynton,
Melvin Clum and r. A. Versteeg.
At that time many of the deal
ers were optimistic and the need of
coal substitutes was not seriously
considered. But as the situation has
developed this need becomes more
apparent. A meeting of the fuel
commission and town officials was
held on Wednesday night and a spe-
cial meeting of the township COM
mittea will be called for the purpose
of appropriating a certain amount
as a loan to the commission and
buying coal, soms . the independent
anthracite as an emergency act. AS
a matter of fact the committeeman
a.-large, Mr.. Neuberg, has already
orderd two carloads to be deliv-
cred through the regular dealers.
Mr.. Boynton has offered space in
his yard for storage purposes, and
will give lumber needed for the
necessary bins in which to store it.
Those in need of coal should COM
municate with the members of the
fuel commission If their regular
dealers arc not able to supply them.
1t has become necessary to use
cne of the four substitutes. ordinary
bituminous, semi-bituminous, which
Is being sold in domestic sizes. Nc.
/ buckwheat or cake.
A census of the township was
taken in October, which showed
$4,000 tons were needed with 1000
tons on hand. 1t is estimated, how
ever. that at least $4,000 tons will
be needed If a complete return Is Sc
cured. The census in Woodbridge
was the first taken In New Jersey.
it has been stated.
Consumers are urged to accept a
portion of the substitutes with their
order, as a sufficient amount OF
anthracite coal is not available.

NEA SeTtICE StdII NF1ttT
NEW YORK.-The aviator who 10
years from now starts or a little aft
ernoon jaunt across the sky will look
down on the housetops below where
upon the following conversation will
ensue:
Hey. what you doing down there,
buddie?"
Jaw, nothin', mister, just skinnin'
a cat"
For the skyline of all great cities
will show a multitude of roofs neatly
latticed and protected along the
outer edge while within will be
swings, see-saws and sliders for the
hundreds of children who have gone
up to the roofs to play.
This is predicted by DR.. Cecile
GreiI whose move to convert the
roofs of tenements into Fairgrounds
has received impetus from the prom
Used cooperation of the New York
Board of Health.
Expects Further Aid
1.-THE Board of Education will IN
doubtedly be the next cooperating
factor" says DR.. Greil. Landlords
already have expressed their approx
al of the plan and within two years
I expect to see 1000 roofs of schools
factories, tenements and apartment
houses made over into Fairgrounds.
II expect to see a diminution in
street accidents which last year re-
suited in the death of 1854 children.
"These are not the only causes of
waste of child life. The tenement
districts with their swarming alleys
make it hard for a child to live and
breathe. let alone play.
Every city has its slums. My
study of them in four coast-to-coast
trips has convinced me r~oof-play-
grounds will solve many of these
problems"
DIR. Greil became interested in
child welfare years ago through her
association with the children's de-
partments of various hospitals. In
Italy she observed many of the roof
Fairgrounds conducted by the gov
eminent under the Montessori sys-
tenn.

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, Dec.
lb.-There has been much discus-
sion of late as to whether bonds
have reached the top. Roger w.
Babson thinks not. In discussing
the situation today, he calls atten-
ton 20 the long swing bond cycle
and appears to have a hundred and
fifty years of %inSncia! history on his
side.
The cheapest thing I know Of to-
day." a y MI. Babson. sis the prom
Use Of $50 a year for the next TWEEN
ty years. secured by a mortgage
bond. just now this $50 will buy,
perhaps. a suit of clothes. In 1920.
It would have paid only for the coat
and one armhole in the vest. We
all can remember when 1t would
have bought two suits, as good as
the one it will buy now. Everybody
is hoping for these old prices to
come back. And nothing is more
likely than that they will come back
some time within the mex twenty
years.
M ,st of us, judging from our own
experience, think of 1920 commodity
prices as the 'high-for-alP time.
What do we not realize is that prices
have been as high as three times be-
fore, at intervals of about fifty years
and that between peaks, each time,
they have touched levels as low as
in 1896. While earlier statistics
have not been compiled, there IS
data. enough to suggest that TINS
same swing from high prices to low
prices and back again, over long
periods, might be traced far back
into history.
Prices turned at the same old
peak in 1920. It is exactly In ac-
cord with past experience that there
should be a short upward reaction,
at this time, from the first sharp
decline of last year. But, It would
be against our economic history II
prices did show a long, slow trend
towards a level that more nearly
eoualizes the buying power OF agrl-
culture with that of the manutac-
turing industry. Ths fact that the
mass of people expect lower prices
of course, for the other fellows
soods-helps to bring them about.

ditions. than the supply of gold

"Tanlac made me feel like a brand
