CARSON ON AN ECONOMY PLATFORM

Robert Carson for freebooter on an economy platform
would appeal strongly to the voters of Middlesex county this
fall. Mr.. Carson has been prominent in public affairs for a
great many years. He is what might be called an "old war
horse in the field of politics; he knows the game from A to
q. There is not much that could be put over on him and
there is no doubt that he could save money for the taxpayers.
Mr.. Carson, as a member of the New Brunswick BOARD
Of Trade. has been one of those active in investigating the
work of the freeholders, especially IN paving matters' nc
has helped to show up some of the inconsistencies OF the
present board and he has been most persistent IN opposing
the su1anderiae of the county funds on patent pavements.
His sincerity s unmestioned and as a member of the county
board he would be in a position to make his protests count.
When the taxpayers see such figures as appeared in the
bids for the Green street pavement in Woodbridge and the
State street pavement in Perth Amboy, the contracts for
which were recently awarded, they cannot help but long for
an opportunity TO show with their ballots what they think
of such a reckless handling of public money IN the face OF
an ever-increasing tax rate. These bids show that whereas
the six or eight inches of concrete foundation Will cost S1.oo
per square yard, the inch or two OF top dressing alone VIII
cost S217 pee square yard. Naturally, a great deal OF
money could be saved by merely putting an inch or two more
of concrete for the surface; at the same time a Detter roau
would be provided.
In short, there is a deliberate waste of The taxpayers
money by the present Board of Freeholders. The board re-
oeived an endorsement at the polls last year and on the
strength of that the members doubtless feel warranted in
,carrying on their extravagant program. But the people are
Aearning more and more every day. They are struggling
right now to make good their taxes for the present year.
When thew face the realization that the taxes are likely to be
even higher next year the slogan Of economy is going to ap-
neal to them strongly. Mr.. Carson, by his agitation before
the present Board of Freeholders, has shown himself to be
a man who can put a real economy program into ehect.

FABULOUS RICHES

Thirty gold coins, of the first series of gold coins ever
minted by man. are dug up by American archaeologlsts In
the buried ruins of Sardis, ancient city IN Asia Minor.
These 80 coins were minted by Croesus, last OF the kings
of Lydia and first big international banker.
You have heard the expression, Erich as Croesus.
John D. Rockefeller could buy and sell Croesus at least
a dozen times over. Yet Croesus' name endures on through
the ages as the greatest symbol of wealth, in all important
Il was Croesus' ability in handling money, rather than his
actual cash that made his wealth proverblal.
The psychology of this is that people are less interested
in possessing wealth than in getting more. That was Croesus'
way. He could start with a shoestring and keep trading un-
til he had a million.
You see this principle at work in Henry Ford's appeal to
the popular imagination.
There are several men in the world with about as mucl
money as Ford. Yet they are seldom heard OF.
Ford s wealth would not fire the average brain II he hat
inherited it. The glamour that surrounds his oank account
is due to its being built up from practically nothing. Ford
Won know. only a few years ago, ran a bicycle repair snop.
People, in their mad scramble for wealth., are more inter.
ested in accommodating more and more than in reaching any
definite fortune. When it comes to wealth. most Oh US are III
sane With a pronounced wealth-phobia.
Croesus became king when he was 80. This was in the
sixth century B. c. He was a great conqueror and special
lied at collecting tribute.
Scion, famous Athenian sage and law-giver, was asked
by Croesus: 'Should not my vast wealth make me the hap
piest of menu
Scion answered that no man is really happy who is yet
alive. This. of course, was ridiculous ~cynicism-the "sour
grapes line of Big Talk frequently heard from financial fail
ures today.
Socrates, the truly wise, if he had lived in Croesus' time and
could have looked into the future $500 years, would have said
to Croesus:
money and gold are not the real wealth. Far ahead, in
the year 1922, l see American workers. As far as money is
concerned, you would call them impoverished.

foods brought from the far corners of the earth, and thou

PUTTING STREETS in GOOD CONDITION

One of the best moves toward economy that the Board
of Aldermen have yet made is the passing of the ordinance
to resurface and repair certain streets. A comparatively
little money spent in this way will save the taxpayers a
much larger sum later on. At the same time 1T enables
Perth Amboy lC uphold her reputation of being a we'll paved
city. This is a graf asset and it should be carefully guarded.
With every newly paved street added TO the improved
thoroughfares of a city an increased amount Of money ought
to be appropriated for The upkeep of the streets and The
money should be used for that purpose and for nothing ease.
If as soon as u worn spot begins to appear it is given atten-
ton money would be saved the taxpayers and the streets
would always be in excellent condition. In these days when
nearly everybody rides in automobiles there is nothing that
adds more to a cty's reputation than paved streets main
tanned in first class condition.
Besides the streets provided for in the ordinance that
was introduced in the Board of Aldermen Monday night
there are several other pavements that ought to have atten-
IN. 1t is to bG hoped that before any more money is spent
on new pavements all the streets already paved will be taken
care of. This is good business policy and indicates wise
handling of public affairs. By putting the streets named in
the ordinance Of Monday night in fit condition together with
taking care of Amboy avenue, the aldermen are exercising
good judgment in handling this important municipal prob
lem.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-There is
probably no place where a germ can
receive a more cordial welcome or
live a more %eventful life than at
the Hygienic Laboratory of the Pub
lie Heath Service.
Germs of any distinction at all are
treated with great consideration
here. Special food is cooked in a
shiny white kitchen for the enor-
nous number of the laboratory
boarders. The bacteria are fed at
government expense. Their tastes
are closely studied and catered to.
Most disease germs like beef, and
in a white, glass front cabinet you
can see rows of squat glass bottles
containing various kinds of careful
ly prepared bouillon. About 800
pounds of fine grade lean beef went
into the bottles on these shelves, a
laboratory pathologist explains. This
Is about a weeks ration. The food
must be prepared fresh every few
days for the discriminating bacte-
ria. Some of the soup on these
shelves is put up with g to suit
certain kinds of bacteria. Others
prefer salt. A few demand a dash
of alcohol-and get it.
me meals OF the DdClerld dlS,
strange to say, protected against
germs, that is against other germs.
Big white sterilizing machines kill
all possible intruding bacteria be-
fore the government employed bac-
terra are introduced to it.
These petted bacteria are not a
parasitic, leisure class, however.
They have important work to do in
laboratory experiments and under
the microscope. They go from the
kitchen in test tubes that are parity
filled with their favorite food sc
that they may grow and multiply.
Like human beings they can work
best under favorable conditions, so
they are kept at a congenial tenn
p~erature. Most disease germs pre-
fer body heat. though a few hardy
types will grow at almost freezing
temperature.
No one could estimate how many
bacteria the hygienic laboratory has
on it's hands at any n time. Lab
oratory scientists. who aim at exact
ness whenever it is humanity possible
explain that it is humanity impos-
sible to keep track of numbers. They
simply say that there can be myriads
of bacteria on an inch of presumably
clean skin or in a tiny cross section
of tissue.
