NOTABLE EVENT FOR A WORTHY CAUSE

A determined effort is being made this year to provide lunches
in the public schools for the benefit of the children who live too
far away to make the trip home and back during the noon hour,
also to make it unnecessary to leave the school in severe cold and
stormy weather and, most of all, to provide proper n%ourshment
for the boys and girls who, in many cases, are underfed.
The school luncheon idea has been put into practice in many
cities with great success. In fact, all progressive cities now pro-
vide this feature and it has been found that the children are bene-
fitted thereby. A nominal sum of a few cents for the lunch is
charged unless it is found that certain children are unable to pay
anything whereupon the food is given for nothing, a surplus fund
being maintained for that purpose.
The idea of establishing the school lunch in the Perth Amboy
schools has been sanctioned by the Board of Education and the
Board of Health. The Woman's Club has taken a particular in
terest in the matter and it is the one organization that is now be.
hind the movement to make it a reality. For just such work as
this the Woman's Club has a charity fund upon which it draws
to meet necessary expenses.
In an effort to build up this fund so that the money necessary
to start the school lunches will be in hand, a concert will be given
in the high school auditorium Monday night which promises to be
one Of the greatest musical treats ever offered the people of this
city. The artist IS a man of national reputation and the fact that
this will be practically his only appearance in the metropolitan
district this season makes Monday nights event an exceptional
incident.

REAL DEMON

What IS it, in your life, that you fear or dread mostI And
how much effect is this fear or dread having on your health
fortunes, state of mind and general happiness?
Along this line, you will be interested In a peculiar case
that has been perplexing the Workmen's Compensation Com
mission of New York State.
In a hat factory some of the employees, got mercuriai
poisoning from handling dyes. One of the workers who became
i'll and had to hunt another job asked the commission Tor
money to cover the loss Of several weeks pay.
A medical specialist, testifying at the hearing, says that
this particular employees illness was due to fear, not to poison
ing. That is, seeing his fenow-workers become I'LL, he grew
afraid that he also might get poisoned, and worried nlmseh
into neurosis, a nervous condition In which the patient oIten
imagines that he has a physical illness-in this case poison
ing.
Fear. under various terrifying scientific names, IN the last
few years, since the war ended, has become a common disease.
Wherever a group of physicians get together they oegn
talking about this pandemic of nervous apprehension.
Doctors offices are crowded with people-fearng that
their hearts are about to stop beating. that they are on the
verge of a nervous breakdown, that an annoying acld conoi-
t;on Of the stomach may be steadily advancing cancer.
Probably threefeurths of these maladles are imaginary.
They are, fortunately, making people realize the IN
power over the body, for good or bad.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert AppIe)

Adam
Adam, the first man, was born
October %, claims John p. Brady of
Baltimore. Brady neglects to tell
where III got his information. On
his estate near Gardenville, he has
erected a monument to the father
of the human race
If Adam could come back to life
he would find 1,700,0 00, 900 of his
census. That would surprise the old
gentleman, but not as much as the
fact that no two of these descend
ants are exactly alike-in looks,
mentality or personality,
Red
The former chief of Scotland
Yard, Sir Basil Thomson, says that
the Bolsheviks are losing the foot
hold they gained in England. Thir-
teen soviets were formed over there
in the early part of 1919.
The soviets are breaking up as
business improves. Prosperity and
discomfort do not travel together.
With a full stomach, no one can be
a radical-unless he has liver trou-
BILE.
The famous criminologist, Sir
Basil Thomson, says England has
fewer than 1900 in prisons. COM
pared with 10000 in 1898.
One of the chief reasons for this.
as set forth by Thomson( and it will
not please wets) is that booze has
become dearer and the hours for its
sale restricted. in England.
Lawyers
Fol five years NO one in Bolsheyik
Russia was allowed to practice law,
the Reds having decided that law
yers were at the root of most gov
ernmental ills.
Now the soviet announces the re-
turn of lawyers and licenses $50 of
them.
Back Of this you see the shrewd-
ness of Lenin and Trotzky, willing
to compromise and adapt them
selves and their views to conditions.
That elasticity explains why they
still are at the helm in Russia. To
succeed and hold gains. learn to
compromise.

months of 1921.
The figure doesn't seem big. But.

Now, all together to make up the

TRAFFIC AND PARKING AUTOMOBILES

Even though Broad street, Newark, is one of the widest streets
to be found in any city, it has become necessary for the police de-
partment to change the ruling regarding the parking of automo-
biles SO that thereafter all cars must park parallel to the curb.
The practice of backing in at an angle of As degrees has been
abolished.
Broad street, it seems, is becoming too congested. As broad
as it is, there is not room enough for the traffic it is called upon
to carry. 1t is found that with automobiles sticking out into the
street a great deal of the space is taken up that is needed for pass
ing vehicles. Automobiles then, must stand parallel to the curb
so as to take up as little room as possible and if the parking space
is all occupied, other cars will have to go elsewhere to park.
Perth Amboy hasn't any street that is as wide as Broad street,
Newark. Few cities have. 1t is a pity, too, because with traffic
as it is today wide streets are necessary and sooner or later the
various municipalities are going to be compelled to widen their
streets, cost what it may, in order to meet the problem OF modern
street transportation.
In the meantime, it is a question whether the practice now
generally adopted, but which has had to be abandoned In Newark,
Of parking automobiles at an angle of IS degrees on one side of
the street is the right solution, after all, for the traffic congestion.
For most of the day such streets as State street, New Brunswick
avenue and Madison avenue have become mere lanes with room Tor
a single vehicle to pass down the middle because of the manner
Of parking cars. The waiting automobiles occupy nearly half the
street and greatly add to the congestion and actually form a
menace. If Newark finds it inadvisabe to permit parking at an
angle of As degrees on such a wide thoroughfare as Board street,
what is to be said about the practice on the narrow streets in Perth
Amboy?
There is a great deal Of experimenting being done in the
regulating of traffic and the parking Of automobiles these days.
The streets of the average city were never intended for such COLI
eestion as has developed in recent years. Parking cars at an
angle of 45 degrees may help to provide parking space, more cars
being able to crowd in, but, after all, the streets are made for
traffic and not storage, which, in many instances, the present
parking privileges amount to. The first consideration, then, should
be to see that there is ample room for the movement of vehicles.
Then, if there is room, parking may be permitted. There is no
street III Perth Amboy, with the possible exception of High street.
where cars can be parked at an angle of As degrees and still leave
room for vehicles to pass freely. That being the case, would it not
be well to consider revising the present ruling so as to permit
only parallel parking, doing away altogether with parking at 45
degrees.

less than that sum has his pc
quests curtailed by the tax.
For the period under review
there were 5,643 such estates hav-
ing a gross value of $437,471,29O.
Many Des1ctions Allowed
The statutory deductions include
charitable, public and similar be-
quests. These took ~$264,491,6S7
from the taxable total during the
1916-1922 period. The law pro-
vides that property recently inner
tied by the decedent and which,
therefore, has recently paid an in
heritance tax, may be exempted.
The amount coming within this cat
egory was $6~7,582,9O2. That great
sum had been inherited only re-
Gently and held a relatively brief
while. Many stories doubtless are
behind that classification. What
use did the beneficiary make of his
inherited wealth during his brlef
period of prosperity? Was the good
fortune too much for him and was
it the cause of his death?
The reader may exercise his i'm
agination at will; the statistics re-
veal nothing.
Funeral expenses, debts unpaid at
the time of death, and the expenses
of the administration of estates
may be deducted from the net or
taxable estate. These deductions in
this period, REACHED a total of ST.
0~33,408,174. 1t Is presumed a
large part of this billion was con-
sumed by the classification admin

lion dollars is a big bill, but the
reader may be assured it is not all
for funeral expenses. The total of
all these deductions reaches the i'm
pressive aggregate of $3,476 ,764.
During this 1916-1922 period
there were some estates which
must have been equal to the treas

G. v. G.
A. Heating the bread knife by

viate this difficulty.
@. Where were manual training
schools first started?-M. H.
A. Finland holds the honor OF
the earliest use of handwork as
an agency in education, having de-
veIoped a plan for teaching hand
work in primary schools between
1858 and 1866. Sweden followed in
1882. France in 1873, England in
1886, and Germany in 1887. In
the United States the first steps IN
this direction were taken in New
York city in 1878.
@. Is the Wycliffe translation OF

ment is thought to have been his.

@. Is there any way of finding
whether a skunk is in a hole, or
is there always a scent?-J. j. x.
A. The Department OF Agricul-
ture says that there is no notice
able scent around the hole when
the skunk Is in it, as the skunk
only throws out his odor or fluid
when in any way disturbed. A.
dog because of its highly devel-
oped sense of smell, can usually
locate a skunk in a hole.
Q. How is the age of an undated
ancient manuscript determined?-
F. A.
A. In the oldest manuscripts the
words usually join each other with
on. break or separation. Manu-
scripts without punctuation marks
of any kind generally are accepted
as pre-dating the eighth century.
Those which have no capital or
other divisions are always very old,
and the fewer and easier the abb
b~reviations, the older it is. The
most ancient manuscripts still pre-
served are those written on papy-
rus which have been found in Egyp-
tian tombs. Next to them in point
of age are the Latin manuscripts
found at Herculaneum.

NEW GAS PLANT ON THE RARITAN

The location of a big gas plant on the Raritan river above the
Rarnan arsenal by the Public Service Gas Company once moro
draws the attention of the public to the problem that Perth Amboy
has to face in regard to the gas plant here, which is located in the
midst of one of the most desirable residential sections of the city.
Perth Amboy will not benefit by the erection of the new gas plant
on the Raritan river as this city, together with some n~eighboring
municipalities, is served by the Perth Amboy Gas Light Company,
which is closely affiliated with the Ehzabethtown Gas Light Com
pany Of Elizabeth.
That the local concern is anxious to get rid of its site in this
city is evident. It is a valuable site, however, and should the city
refuse to buy it, T. is going to be taken up by private interests be-
fore very long and then the city will either pay a greatly increased
price, as was the case Of the Meredith tract at the foot of Market
street, or it will lose the tract entirely and see more of its desir-
able citizens driven out of town through the industrial develop
