Time TO GET TOGETHER

1t has been said with more or less frequency that the
trouble in Perth Amboy is that it is impossible for the"peo-
pie to get together when any civic movement IS started
When somebody starts something that has for its object the
advancement of the city there are always those who not only
will not get in and help, but who seem to delight IN knock
ing the project at every opportunity.
Just at present an effort is being made to put across q
Visit Perth Amboy Day." One of the biggest attractions IN
the country, the United States Marine Band, has been Sc
cured for the occasion. This feature alone is bound to draw
thousands of people to the city. Probably there are some who
would have chosen some other method for booming the
town or would have arranged for a fall opening in a dlflerent
way. but the fact is that this particular way is the way that
has been selected so why not get behind it, whether one
agrees with it entirely or not, and help put 1t across! FER
hans. next time. something will be done that will suit those
who do not entirely approve of the method THIS TIME ana
then those who favor the present method, but VINO are nov
altogether enthusiastic about the other way, Will De eHpec.ea
to get behind whatever method is chosen and 90 thelr Des'.
After all. it is for boosting, building and booming Perth
Ambov and there are many ways of doing that. The thing IS
TO do something. There is something being done right no"
and i t. is for everybody who is interested IN the GU! 10 enter
into the spirit of the occasion and help. 1t is the only wa!
that Perth Amboy can be made the city that we all want 1t
to be. When the people get together with the one OBJECT III
view there is nothing that can stop them.
Right now funds are needed to put this ambitious pro-
;ect across. When the people realize that they are going 10

n N the White House grounds at Washington, at two free,

cess. If is giving to the people of Perth Amboy and surround
ino towns something that the people of almost every other
Mace outside of Washington have to pay for. The Evening
News is ready TO receive contributions in any amount. Tho
money will be turned over to the committee of the Rotary
and Lions Clubs which is arranging for the event. When
something really worth while is attempted like bringing
tbe limited States Marine Band TO the city to give free con-
certs it is worthy of all the support that the people can give
it.

morasses resulting from stagnant
methods in industry.
Ever since woman was first admit
ted to a place in industry and com
merce there has been a controversy
as to right of women to take part
in the gainful vocations. This ques-
ton the Women's Bureau does not
attempt to solve. 1t can not be de-
MED that personal means of earning
a living is the right of every woman
having no other means of support
and in this right she sould be fully
protected. At the same time all will
agree that women in industry would
not exist in an ideal social scheme.
Women have a higher duty and a
higher sphere in life. Eve was the
companion and helpmate Of Adam
and in every way his social equal
but it was for Adam to protect Eve
and provide for their posterity. 1t
is true that later womankind we're
considered inferior, and became, we
might say. slaves of society. All civ
ilized nations are again coming to
recognize the equality of women and
men and in no country are her rights
greater than in America, where her
social standing is even higher than
mans. With all this, 1 personally
prefer to see a woman guiding the
destiny Of the nation-in the home.
There is no vocation higher than
that assigned by God and woman has
been called to the care of children,
the future society of the world. The
position of mother is the most hon.
orable and the most r~everenced. She
should be protected in the home, ia
cilities given her to lessen the bur-
don IF rnsnnrCihi1itu ~Jo1ol ~o-
her shoulders. She should have the
recreation to which she is entitled
and the conditions Of her employ
ment should be such as to remove
the thought of monotony too often
found in the home life of the moth
er. But because the woman is en-
titled to and should be in the dig
nified calling of home-maker, she
should not be Disseminated against
when necessity drives her to a posi-
ton outside her natural sphere.
A gradual realization of these
truths is squirting many individuals
and organizations into programs Of
reform. 1t is to the Women's Bureau
that they turn for scientific and re-
liable information. From all sections
of the country s. o. s. calls are dis
patched for advice and assistance.
from all types OF progressive lnStl-
buttons, industrial. economic, social.
legislative. political. religious, civic,
and educational come requests for
information.
I hope that it will be possible to
so organize the bureau hat five thou

the ideal social and industrial condi-

tional life, perhaps not on a salary
basis as agents of the government
but workers in their respective COM
munities-women forming the best
of u citizenry who would through
the agency of the women's organiza-
tions, mothers. teachers, and other
associations help to carry the gospel
of better conditions tor women, and
particularly mothers, which the
Women's Bureau should spread. If

but 1t is heavier than it was In the
days when the DID sub-treasury sys-
TEN was in use. When the war was
at its height the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York alone had a staff
OF more than 5000 employees and &C.
cupied rented quarters. A great new

under construction. They are all
J being equipped with the most mod
I ern machinery and appliances or
the handling of the great volume OF
the governments banking busintss,
in addition to the even greater VOL
ume OF private business.
During the last year there mas

Reserve Banks for erecting buildings
uf a costly nature at a period OF de-
preston but this disappeared in the
face of appeals to give employment
TO the many who ave been out of
work. Also 1t vas shown that tie
cost Of the buildings is coming
wholly from surplus accounts set
aside some time ago In anticipation
Of the time when the expansion If
the banks business would require
larger quarters.
However, no Federal Reserve
Rank can erect a building for itst IL
or any branch which costs in *
cess of $250,0O0 without express per-
mission OF congress-. So far no diff
hCulty has been experienced in OBJ
tanning this permission when it Is
asked for because it has been shown
that the volume OF business done by
the banks is so large as to make
new space imperative.
The Federal Reserve Banks do
not deprive other banks or depos. Is
OF government money while acting
as fiscal agents. When taxes are paid

THE MAYOR HAS A SUGGESTION

Mayor Joachim does not expect to have his ac-
tivities centralized at the city hall for many
more weeks but he is urging as one Of his final
activities as executive of the city plan which
is worthy of the serious thought of the men
who may come after him in official position
in the city.
The Mayor is suggesting plan for the dis
posal Of the sewage of Kenosha which is worth
considering He suggests that q definite plan
be made for the construction of all future
breaxWaters for the protection of the city
along the lake shore and that this plan be
worked out with view of providing lake
sewer sewage disposal plan Instead of con-
structing the ordinary pile breakwaters he sug-
gests that the city plan provide for a concrete
breakwater which shall be made large enough
to cover great trunk sewer into which sewage
could be emptied at any point along the lake
shore in Kenosha
The idea is an excellent one Kenosha must
in the near future tackle the big problem of
properly disposing of sewage. The state board
Of health has served formal notice on the
city that indescriminate dumpingof sewage into
the lake can not be continued indefinitely and
while no date has been set for the elimination
of the old plan of sewage disposal it is certain
that demand would be made on the city in
the near future to get a practical plan for safe
disposal of sewage under way.
The plan suggested by the Mayor comes as
hind sight rather than foresight so far as a
large stretch Of the lake shore is concerned but
plan for the future will help materially. The
idea would insure the city breakwaters which
would be useful as well as slightly and while the
expense Of building them might be considerable
it can be said that any plan for the disposal Of
the sewage Of Kenosha is going to cost con-
siderable amount of money.
Undoubtedly the city will ultimately have q
large plant some where south of the city for
the proper treatment Of sewage and this must
be reached by the sewers in some manner.
The suggestion of the Mayor is a most work
able plan and worthy of future consideration.
Concrete breakwaters of the kind suggested
by the Mayor will cost lot more than the or
binary pile breakwaters but if the city can kill
two birds with one stone 81 protect the shores
from the lake and build sewage disposal plant
the idea is one which would be economical. At
some time in no distant future lot of break
waters will have to be rebuilt and extended
and then the plan could be followed with prof
it to the city.

SOLDIER RELIEF.

President Hardings concern tor our soldiers
is shown in his recent conference at the White
House on the so-called Langley bill providing
more millions for hospital construction, and
on the problems of disqualification in general
The Presidents first act upon his return from
his Florida outing was to call in Director
Forbes Of the Veterans Bureau, Budget Di-
rector Dawes, Chairman Payne of the Red
Cross and representatives Of the American Lee
gion to go over the situation with him. 1t is
understood that service men now under treat
ment by the Public Health Service are to be
transferred to the Veterans Bureau, and that
$4,000 disabled men,, mostly mental and tuber-
GUAR cases, now outside the jurisdiction of that
Bureau, are to come within it's control. Those
changes together with the early passage of
the Langley bill, have been urged by the Am
erican Legion, and it is said that President
Harding has approved all Of them. 1t can De
said with assurance that administrative prob
lens concerning soldier relief as they arise in
the future will all be determined to the best
