NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 31.-Par-
rots. animate lnanlmate, are
having Il tremendous vogue this year.
You encounter them everywhere
in the fashionable drawing DOR and
library, OF the stage and in the films
in the department stores and china
shops, in all the latest photographs
of actresses, and eve in the sub
ways and trolley cars.
The other night a man whose
nerves we're in a ragged state after
blowing through the Christmas
crowds to attenl 20 some of his
wife's neglected shopping, managed
through great physical proves and
presence Of mind to capture a seat
on q Brooklyn train. Simultaneous
ly, meo of great bulk and force
of gravity came down upon his al
ready aching big toe. The man
jumped and then swore quietly be-
hind his barricade of packages
Much to his surprise, a deep, rauc"
Gus voice, apparently coming from
the floor of the train, Immediately
inquired:
What are you about? What are
you about? What are you about?"
The man peered hastily over his
packages, but no II was paying
any attention to him. Instead. they
were gazing intently at a large pack
age damned about his knees.
'I.'s a parrot" explained an
amused feminin voice above him in
answer to his alarmed glances.
"A Christmas present for my hus-
band. I've always wanted a parrot.
They're su.:h good company. The
a who sold me this one said 1t
could say How do you do" and
What are you about? for hours at
n time"
Persian kittens and Pekinese are no
longer the chief treasures of the pet
stores. Mo- are canaries selling as
extensively as they did before the
war. These wera the favoriteS of
yester-year; today the parrot doml-
Mates the domestic scene. His bril-
liant plumagc supplies a warm, trop-
zeal note t. the modern interior,
while his amusing faculty for repeat
ing phrases often livens up an other
wise dreary afternoon tea. The lat
est window displays use a stuffed
parrot as the high color note. A
fashionable charity ball recently
taking place in New York was called
a parrot ball. In Los Angeles, a
movie actress creates q sensation by
appearing on the street with a par
rot that matches her gown.
Parrots As Ornaments
The popular craze for parrots is
explained IL various ways by var
ious persons. An interior decorator
in the exclusive Madison avenue in
terror decorator neighborhood here
places all OF the responsibility upon
the new interiors. with their lac
quer furniture, brilliant chintzes,
and cretonnes.
"Such interiors demand a parrot"
he declared ut is as if one WERE

cITY's INTERESTS COME FIRST

1t is right that the Board of Aldermen should go the
limit in helping the industries. But there is a limit. AS de-
sirable as it is to help the industries in every way possible,
the aldermens first duty is to see that the rights of the city
are protected. 1t is not oud city in the sense that we may
give away its privileges and resources, any more than it was
our forefathers' city. The city is ours only in the sense that
I'VE take the heritage that has been given us, improve it and
develop it so as to hand it over to the next generation a little
better and a little more advanced as a result of our opportu-
nifty to serve.
One of the first essentials for the successful operation
of an industrial plant these days is adequate railroad facili-
ties. Whatever the city can do to enable the manufacturing
plants to have all the accommodations they need along this
line ought to be done. With three big railroads serving this
territory, not to include the Staten Island Rapid Transit
which is a part of the Baltimore & Ohio system, there is no
reason why industries should not have all the railroad facili-
lies they require.
But in seeing to it that the factories are furnished with
all the railroad facilities that they require care must be
taken that the cHy's rights are not infringed upon and that
no one railroad is particularly favored over the others. The
ideal system of furnishing railroad facilities within the city
limits is to have a belt line owned by the municipality which
may be used by any and all railroads by the payment of a fee
to the city sufficient to maintain the belt line. Here, again,
is where the city plan comes in. If Perth Amboy had a COM
prehensive city plan this belt line system could be COM
pleely worked out to the advantage of everybody. 1t would
be a part of the city's development that would work in with
every other progressive step.
We have q case in point in the application of the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company to lay four tracks across
Washington street. This is something vastly different from
runningya siding up along side some particular building. 1t
y cutting oh d Whole street u us most Important Sectloh-
on the waterfront. Tracks so built ought to be so construc-
Ned as to be under the control of the city at all times, even
cough they may lead into private property on both sides.
e time may come when the city will be greatly embarass-
because of a lack of this control.
n the development of the cty's waterfront it is natural
ilroad tracks should cross Washington street. Soon
Yer there will be a demand for tracks across Fayette
luable industrial sites along Water street between
Smith streets could then be developed. Like
Cping increases along the shore of Staten Island
facilities will be essential to connect with the
khouses. But the city cannot afford to permit
\any single interest to enjoy the exclusive
: waterfront business. 1t is absolutely es-
keep control Of all its street ends, or
Rre left to the city. 1t is a very short
air to future generations to surrender
i'm this manner.
