THE REFEREE
Mystery
tBy Albert Applc)

Mystery
French perfume makers report.
business firm. heavy sales in Ameri-
ca. II you like mysteries, try to
explain why wune are using more
perfume this year than last.
Prosperity, they have the money
to buy?
That's not the answer for per-
fumery sales doomed in 1920, a year
Of hard times.
You'd find the solution in a small
demand for soap. II this were 1722
instead of 1922. Perfumery was in
vented to mask uncleaniiness.
Hurry
Business men, unload freight cars
rapidly. Every day they stand IDLE
on sidings is a body-blow at pros
perity.
The railroads announce the 'larg-
est car shortage in history" On
Oct, 20 latest reported, the roads
had orders for 166,349 more cars
than they could furnish. That was
IL per cent more than the greatest
previous shortage. May ], 1917.
Jewels
Money systems some and go. but
jewels-especially diamonds-last
forever. In Austria and Russia,
where the money is not worth h
powder to blow it up, the people
have turned to Jewels as a monetary
rock of ages. a medium of exchange
having semi-permanent value.
SO reports Pierre Cartier, gem ex-
rert, back from Europe. He says
Russia and Austria this year have
exported at least s100,000,00o OF
jawels. The lions share has come
to America, growing richer and
richer-like ancient Babylon.
Radio
No radio ~broadcasting OF our per-
formances this season, announce Of
ficials Of Metropolitan Opera Com
pany.
One of them gives this reason:
1--WE don't see where it would be
beneficial to opera"
But it would be beneficial, for
radio could give to grand opera the
publicity and popularity that it
must have II 1t 10 ever to get firm
ly on its feet as a paying PROPOSE
ton. A real Snowman should be able
to see this. Barnum would,
Styles
Bodied hair goes out in London,
and in comes a short pompadour
bound up with a ribbon or wreath,
as p~opularized by Princess Mary.
The new evening gown displayed
in Regent street have no backs at
all. Milliners announce that Merry
Widow hats will be worn next
spring.
Any man who thinks this isn't as
important as the business outlook
may learn something by Spring
ing" the two in a crowd of women
and comparing the effects.
Freak
The body of a male infant, imper-
fectly formed but recognizable, is
found in a sor of sack inside the
abdomen of a man dead in Spring
field, Mass. DR.. Schillander. who
performed the autopsy says the in
FAINT probably had been there since
the mans birth. A case of almost
but-not-quite Siamese Twins.
A freak of nature like this would
pack a circus tent or museum in
Ave minutes. It's strange" all
right, but stranger still Is that such
things don't happen oftenei. consid-
ering the millions upon millions Of
humans who are born. Nature
standardizes and makes very few
errors.

SOLVING THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM

The Jersey Journal of Jersey City, commenting on Police
Commissioner Enrights statement that the New York Police
Department is at "the end of its rope regarding traffic control
under present conditions, urges Jersey City to bring to an early
consummation the plan under contemplation there for widening
the streets so as to make room for the increased traffic. The
journal argues that whatever is to be done along that line ought
to be done before the cost of carrying out the project becomes
%prohibitive.
But every city is confronted with the same problem. Streets
have got to be wider as the number Of automobiles increase. Some
thing has got to be done to accommodate the traffic. 1t should
be unlawful to lay out any new street that is less than a width
deemed sufficient for traffic as it is bound to develop. At the same
time, streets already laid out but which are not built up ought to
be widened before the property line is formed, particularly streets
where it is known that there is to be heavy traffic in the future.
In Perth Amboy this applies to such thoroughfares as Cleveland
avenue and Convery place which are destined to carry most of the
traffic crossing the new state highway bridge.
In the meantime, Perth Amboy should consider such develop
ment as the opening of Fayette street all the way through from
the waterfront to Convery place as a relief to the congestion OH
Smith street. This is something that ought to be done while the
bridge will be completed and Market street can no longer be used
as an approach. All the traffic from the ferry will then 60
straight out Smith street, which is already over-crowded. The
development of Fayette street to Convery place and the widening
Of Front street from Smith to Fayette street would go a long way
toward furnishing the necessary relief. When the larger cities all
that the traffic problem is beyond their control, it behooves Perth
Amboy to look into the future and profit by what others are up
against now.

that three ships lately purchased from

respect to the steamer Poznan. recently
acquired at auction. Bids for the re-
conditioning OF the PoZnan, including
her conversion to oil burning. have been
rejected and the job may be done at
