OPENING ANOTHER SECTION OF STATEN ISLAND

Tottenville and all the southern end Of Staten Island are
celebrating a notable event today. The new trackless trolley
extending from Richmond to Tottenville is being formally opened.
Prominent city officials are on hand to grace the occasion and it
is going to be a big time, altogether.
Perth Amboy has reason to be greatly interested in this new
line of transportation on Staten Island. The route of the trackless
trolley lies along the Arthur Kill road paralleling Staten Island
for some distance up the island, and then it swings toward the in
terror terminating at Richmond. Here, then, is a new territory.
opened to the business men of this city and if they are wise they
will take full advantage of it. Towns on the island that were
inaccessible to the Tottenvine ferry before, being off the main
line of the Staten Island Rapid Transit, are now brought in direct
communication with the ferry and with the proper kind of publ
city the people living in all these towns will be glad of the oppor
tunity to come to Perth Amboy to shop.
It goes without saying that a hearty welcome awaits these
Staten Islanders and that Perth Amboy merchants will do every
thing within their power to accommodate them. The EVENING"
News today is making a special effort to reach the towns on the
new trolley line, being one of the first to patronize the cars. There
is no reason why we should not all become better acquainted.
The trackless trolley is an interesting development of highway
transportation. The cars receive their power from an overhead
wire the same as the regular trolley, but there are no rails and the
car resembles in other respects the bus, the trolley pole being longI
enough to enable the car to turn from one side to the other as it
meets traffic. Besides, with the tracks eliminated one of the most
expensive features of the maintenance of the line is eliminated.
Naturally, if the public is going to pave the streets and maintain
good roads for the buses to use, it is only fair that trolley com
panes should enjoy the same advantage instead of having to main
tain a track and pay for a large portion of the street paving i'll
the bargain.
The establishment of a trackless trolley along the Arthur Kill
road linking up all the towns between Richmond and TottenvileI
With the ferry to this city is a big step in the development of that
section of Sta4H1 Island. Perth Amboy welcomes the people of the,o
places as neighbors with whom she has been unable to get very
well acquainted before.

GLAND TAKERS

Beware of patent medicine takers who, cashing in on the
public's interest in monkey glands, are flooding the market
with pills and liquid dopes heralded as marvellous gandular
cures"
The arrival of these parasites was to be expected.
Every new discovery is trailed by a mob of inscriptions
takers who fatten on public credulity.
Thirty-three years ago the original gland doctor, Brown
Sequard, was ridiculed when he came forth with his theories
about restoring lost youth and stimulating mentality through
the use of endocrine glands.
Today legitimate scientists admit that Brown-Sequard
was on the right trail. Wonderful possibilities are opened up.
But the public should remember that tinkering with the
bOdy's endocrine glands is in its infancy, and that the treat
ment is extremely dangerous unless administered by a medi-
cal man skilled in this line.
A great deal is already definitely known about the thyroid
gland in the neck-its partial control of intellect and its eff
feet on the general health, particularly heart, nerves, and hair.
But thyroid treatment is dangerous except in the hands OF
a skilled physician. For instance, calming down an over
active thyroid is apt to leave the heart weak.
OF the other glands, much less is known. Their general
functions have been defined. But there are few-even among
experienced doctors-who can stimulate or calm these other
glands without definite perls to the patient.
In the hands of q quack, the endocrine glands are apt to
become doors leading to physical breakdown, nervous collapse
or downright insanity.

WHAT Is THE ANSWER?

Here is a clever little thought that appeared in a Florida
newspaper a short time ago. 1t is worth passing along. We recon
mend it particularly to the people of Perth Amboy. 1t gets rig4t
people of that town or city make it. Read this and consider:
Make of me what you will shall reflect you as clearly
as a mirror throws back a candle beam. If 1 am pleasing to
the eye of the stranger within my gates; if I am such a sight
as having seen me, he will remember me all his days as thing
Of beauty, the credit is yours.
Ambition and opportunity call some of my sons and
daughters to high tasks and mighty privileges, to my greater
honor and to my good repute in far places, but it is not chiefly
these who are my strength. My strength is in those who re
main, who are content with what l can offer them, and what
they can offer me. 1t was the greatest of all Romans who
said: Better be first in a little Iberian village than be second
in Rome
81 am more than wood and brick and stone, more even
than flesh and blood am the composite soul of all who call
me Home.
81 am your town."
1t is foolish for us to pat ourselves on our backs and try to
persuade ourselves that Perth Amboy is the greatest city in the
marvel at our great natural advantages and then they wonder
that so lMl euse is made of them.
Why are some of the most desirable citizens moving away
Metuchen and Woodbridge are being built up with former Am
boyans. One of the most discouraging signs is that as the young
folks grow up and marry they go elsewhere to establish thel
TIL up to the people who are interested in the development of the
city to find it. This is something that concerns all of us. What
are we going to do about it?

SIDEWALKS THAT MEAN SOMETHING

Persons using the road to Metuchen out New Brunswick ave-
nue. are watching with interest the progress being made on theI
sidewalks that will connect this city with Fords. This is, without
q doubt, one of the greatest improvements that has been made in
this vicinity this year. The traffic on this road has become enor-
NOUS and as the paved portion is narrow even for vehicles, it be-
comes extremely dangerous when it is used by pedestrians as well.
Now that the culverts are widened so as to make room for
Ahe sidewalks, the rest of the grading and widening should be
coAnpleted as quickly as possible and the sidewalks laid. Then some
method must be devised to compel the people to keep on the side
walk instead of spreading themselves all over the road, as they
Id now. The law forbids vehicles running along the sidewalk
aver bicycles being barred. 1t is only fair, then, that pedestrians
be kept out Of the roadway which should be reserved exclusively
for vehicles except at regular crossings. For their own safety the
persons walking are wise to keep Oil the sidewalk.

@. What animal makes the most
noise when believing? D. M.
A. The National Geological Park
says that there is no authentic in
formation as to which animal makes
the most noise, but that the follow
ing animals are generally conceded
to be among the greatest noise pro-
ducers: : Lion, bull elk, sea lion
wolf, and elephant.

@. Do many Americans take the

lines.
@. Is it true that two thin gar

@. How may the rust stain on
porcelain sinks be removed? A. M.
E.
A. These stains may be rubbed
off with lemon juice or vinegar, pro-
vided they are not of too long stand

permanent stain, moisten a small
wad Of tissue paper with a few drops
of dilute oxalic or hydrochloric acid
(both poisons) and wipe the stains;
then when 1t is dissolved wash the
porcelain with soapy water.
@. What is a panopticon as ap
piled to prisons? Il. w. K.
A. A panopticon is a circular
prison in which the cells and their
occupants are constantly visible to
guards stationed in a central tower.
Such a prison was proposed in 1887
by Jeremy Bentham. The new peni-
Tertiary in Illinois embodies this
idea. The interior wall of each cell
is made of glass.
@. Are turkeys caponized? s. L.
A. The Department Of Agricul-
ture says that very little has been
done in this direction. When 1t has
been tried the capons were found to
be much quieter than the toms. For
this reason they might be easier to
fatten for market.
