MAKE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME

1t would be hard to conceive of a more contemplate
act than that of turning in a false alarm of fire on such a
night as Saturday when one of the worst snow storms in
recent years was raging and the going was extremely hard
for any kind of a vehicle, not to mention the hardships on
the part of those compelled to be out under such conditions.
One such alarm is bad enough, but to go on repeating
them, keeping the fremen blowing through the storm from
one end of the city to the other for several hours is some
thing that the city cannot afford to have w~hitewashed or
passed over lightly. The fire department must not be triffled
with, especially on such a night as Saturday.
Being drunk is no excuse for such a crime. To let a
man off because he says he was drunk is to place a premium
on drunkenness. If a man is privileged to turn in false
alarms of fire once he becomes drunk, a little hooch becomes.
a persons best aibi,
AS a matter of fact, when a man says he was drunk
lie makes a double crime apparent. The punishment ought
10 be even more severe than if the crime was committed
4 one who was perfectly sober. The public must be taught
II the fremen cannot be trined with in this matter. In
i. the safety of the city demands the most drastic action
arn against similar action occurring in the future.
We do not pretend TO pass judgment on any man in this
tsr. The greatest effort must be made to find the right
es and make sure that they are actually guilty. Once
is assured no amount of pull or influence or even any
arch position that the guilty party might hold, ought to
Interfere with the carrying out of justice. And justice can
be done when The punishment is made to fit the crime. In
this case, the punishment, in order to fit the crime, must be
severe enough to make it too risky for anyone, whether
a.aaink or sober, to do such a thing again.

UNION COUNTY WAKING UP

1t looks as if Union county was beginning to wake up
in this matter of property valuations for the purpose OF tax
alton. Instead of so much agitation against Mlddlesex be-
cause this county has not adopted the wild pace of some
other counties in jumping valuations far above a reasonable
figure. a movement is on foot in Union, we are told, whereby
taxpayers are going to demand that the assessors mere Z
duce their valuations.
The attitude of Union county in attacking Middlesex
has been as if they felt that as long as they were heading
for bankruptcy through their excessive valuations they
wanted Middlesex to go into bankruptcy along with them.
Middlesex objects and proposes to take care of her own al
fairs and bring about such re~adjustments as are necessary
without threatening the ruination of practically every prop
erty holder.
These are days of initiation all along the line. 1t is true
That the tendency now is to get back to earth, but real estate
values seem to be among the last to come down. But it
would be decidedly unfair to take any Of these inflated values
as q basis Of taxation when people are already SO heavily
burdened. Union county is now on the right track, A re-
duction of values to something like normal instead OF trying
10 force other counties up to the inflated values attained
during war time is the sensible thing to do.

The Washington Spinster
The case of Washington, the city
of single We men, would seem 10 be
an argument for the view hat the
woulen are in revolt against mar
riage. 1t is certain that women come

country for the purpose of getting

Observation-Disclosures exceedingly poor
This is du. In part to n large re-
lativa proportion OF women in the
population, and also in part to the
fact that types Of men who make
good husbands are not found here.
The IDEAL husband Is the prosperous
business nan. There is very little
business in Washington. The place
is populated by government clerks,
politicians. and newspapermen, VINO
are three OF the most impecunious
types en- earth. In fact, p~ersonable
men ar 81 few in Washington that

Yet they cofne IL droves and hang

MATAWAN EXHIBIT
AT POULTRY SHOW

MATAWAN, Jan. 31:-The Ma
loney and Marcy Farms of this
place have again created considera-
BILE sensation, this time at the Poul-
try Show in Madison Square Garden
in the exhibit of their Jerse. Black
Giant chickens. One of the greatest
sensations in connection with the
exhibit of the farms was the price
paid by the Walton Lake Farms for
a cock of this variety. The Walton
Lake Farms paid $500 for n of
these ROSTERS.
The bird which brought this price
is a splendid specimen of a new
breed that the Maloney and Marcy
Farms are exhibiting. Last year
this bird won seven blue ribbons.
Defeat was finally met when he
tried to match type with one of his
own brothers from the same farm.
Other breeds of chickens hat are
C causing considerable talk at the va
rious shows are those raised by the
Monmouth Farms in Freneau. The
special breed OF bird raised and ex-
hibited by this farm is the Buff Leg
horn. This bird is a great layer and
has captured many blue ribbons at
various shows throughout the coun-
try.

GOOD WORK CLEARING THE STREETS

Reports from practically every city tells of the excel
lent work done in clearing away the snow following the re-
cent storm. Perth Amboy is no exception. Although the fall
Of snow was the heaviest in several years traffic was not in
~lerferred with to any extent.
Particularly gratifying was the manner in which the
sidewalks were cleared of snow. Perhaps this was because
it was Sunday and the men were home all day. The fact
is that by Sunday afternoon it was possible to walk almost
anywhere in the city on clean, dry sidewalks. In spite of the
fact that the snow lay eight to ten inches on the ground, rub
bers were hardly necessary.
With so many men out of work it was not difficult to
secure the help necessary to clean up the city and Alderman
patten, chairman of the street committee, with Street Com
/ missioner Munoz, buckled right into the job Of making the
streets of Perth Amboy passable. They have done excellent
work and are deserving of the utmost credit.
To the unemployed the storm came as a blessing In dis
guise. Hundreds of men were set to work some OF them
earning the first money they have received in several months.
These men must be cared for and no better way could be
found for spending the taxpayers money than in paying out
honest wages to those who need the help so badly.
Rather than hand it out in charity, which the men
themselves abhor, the city gives the needed help and, at the
same time, had something to show for the money in the way
lof a clean city. Perth Amboy will easily hold her own with
any municipality in the state in the manner in which the
recent snowstorm has been handled.

How to Make the
Best Plum Jam
Real Tart Plum FLAVOR
Easily PRESCRIBED
by Ann Proctor

The finest plum jam you ever tasted
--chock full OF the natural color and
favor-can be made at home within ten
minutes after the plurns are sliced and
crushed. I like the "Certo Process as
can use ripe plums and because it takes
only one minutes boiling, thus saving
favor and color; it never fails. and is
cheaper because | get two-thirds more
jam from the same amount of plums
The "Certo Process" for making
plum jam IS very simple: Use fully
ripened fruit for finest flavor; slice. pit
and crush we'll about qts. or 2IZ lbs.
of plrms. Measure level cups g lbs J
crushed fruit and d cup water into
large kettle. stir until boiling, cover
kettle and simmer Is minutes. Add
ia leveled cups (3H lbs) sugar and
mix well. Stir hard and constantly and
bring to vigorous boil over hottest
fire. Boil hard | minute with continual
stirring. Take from fire. add "a bottle
(scant Il cup) Certo and stir it in well.
Skim and pour quickly into sterilized
glasses. ----. --------~-
By this short "Certo Process" YOU
save all the color and flavor that are
boiled away by the old method. Time
and worry are also saved and you have
pounds of jam from 21z pounds of
pluns as compared to 3 pounds of Jam
by the old method.
The above recipe and nearly 100
Others for making delicious jellies and
Jams by the "Certo Process" are found
in the Certo Book of Recipes, a copy
OF which will be given to you by your
grocer or druggist when you get Certo.
Extra copies will be sent free if you
write to the Pectin Sales Company,
l2o East avenue, Rochester, N. Y.
Use Certo this year in making all your
jams and jellies. 1t saves time, worry
and boiling. The "Certo Process" never
fails and saves money. because you make
half as much more jam from the same
amount OF fruit. Certo-made jams and
jellies have perfect keeping qualities.
If your grocer or druggist does not
have Certo, please call Mr.. Leo Knott
