PLAYING HORSE

We should walk on all tours instead of on two feet, for
nature intended man to be a quadruped. This thrilling sug-
restion comes from an able authority-Courtlere, celebrated
French scientists.
Men who have hunted for collar buttons under the bu-
reau will not agree with him. Nor will the father whose
Young son insists that pa 'play horse"
Courtieres suggestion is valuable, however, If for no other
reason than the laughs it starts. Anything that takes peoples
minds off their problems and stops morbid lntrospectlon-
ANALYSIS of self-is a stimulant and a tonic.
That is why so many men, tagged out from the day $ WORK,
turn to the newspaper comic pictures before they read page
one news stories.
Eyolutionists believe that man once scrambled about on
all fours.' like a monkey. What made him get up on MS
hind legsY Probably it was the discovery that he could walk
that way and use his forelegs to carry home an armlui Oh
cocoanuts for his family.
In those days, human arms must have been as long as tne
legs, like monkeys you have seen In the circus WIN their hanos
.eaching below their knees as they stalked about.
Gradually the arms shortened to a more convenient
length. Such is the sclentlhc tneory-hteres'"s "h0~
you believe it or not.
Courtiere is not the only scientist who thinks we are vlo-
lating natural law by not walking like quadrupeds
Standing up, your stomach and other internal organs
sag. Their arrangement indicates that their most natural posi-
ton is when we are on both hands and knees. Possibly TINS
explains our instructive attempt to brace up our abdomens by
corsets, belts and high trousers.
The correct position of the body in walking may be de-
batable. But this much is certain: When feeling dizzy or III
in any way. nothing beats lying on the back.
A person lying down relieves his internal machinery Oh
the strain that is always present moving about on the feet
The heart, too, has less work to do in pumping the blood.
Rest and complete relaxation-even for only III or ~
minutes at a time-often will enable the body to recharge Its
batteries sufficiently to ward off what might develop into
serious illness.
We get ill on our feet We recover lying down.

SLIPPING BACKWARD ON THE FOURTH

1here seems to have been a general tendency TO return
10 the Old fashioned Fourth of July in the celebration of In
dependence Day throughout this section. Ordinances
adopted in various municipalities tending toward the safe
and sane" idea were literally shot to pieces; there was much
Inc same dIsrespect for these local laws as there is for the
laws OF the state and nation at the present time.
In Newark where the safe and sanen idea has heen
advanced further than in a great many places, there were
tWenty-nlne boys and girls and two adults injured and if is
reported that there were more blackisted re-crackers sold
in the city than in twenty years. Perth Amboy, which was
also one OF the first municipalities to adopt the safe and
sane idea, slipped terribly this year. While there were no
serious accidents reported, there was the customary Fourth
OF July fire. 1t seemed quite natural to hear the fire alarm
quite In keeping with the way the day used to be observed.
incidentally, the Raritan Yacht Club deserves credit for
the magnificent display of fireworks in the evening. It was
a display equal to any for which the city, in former wears.
has paid many hundreds of dollars. While it is true that
this celebration was one of the attractions in connection
with the lawn fete and carnival which the club is holding at
this time, the display furnished entertainment for the entire
city as well as for hundreds of people from neighboring
towns who came here to see it. The yacht club deserves
the thanks of the city for furnishing what was really the only
"safe and sane celebration that Perth Amboy had yester-
day. Judging from the comments heard it was greatly ap-
preciated and proves that the people approve of that form of
celebration.
It is to be hoped that next year the city will have a suit
able display of its own and that the progress made toward
q really 'safe and sane celebration during the last few
years will not be lost entirely.

In the effort to solve the traffic problem on the main
highways particularly during such COMPOSITIONS as are e-
perienced over week ends and holidays, the jitney bus must
be taken into consideration. That there is a demand for this
form of transportation cannot be denied, especially since
the trolley companies have found it impossible to meet the
requirements of the public, but there are times when one
wonders whether or not the accommodation the buses af-
ford is not more than off -set by the detriment they are to
traffic in general.
The bus may have a legitimate right on the highway
Just as the trolley has such right, but the trolley mus. secure
a franchise for which it pays and it must maintain its right
Of way. 1t is usually on one side of the road and does not
Interfere with other vehicular traffic. With the bus, how
ever, the main highway is used and as it is frequently stop.
ping to take on or let off passengers congestion is bound TO
result.
This is particularly true where the pavement is wide
roads at present. When the bus stops it refuses to leave the
paved portion of the road-perhaps it would become stalled
if it did-with the result that when traffic is heavy, as it
usually is on routes which the buses use, the cars coming
up behind the bus must halt also until the passengers have
been unloaded or loaded, as the case may be. On holidays
and SUNDAYS a traffic jam is caused that is not only annoy
ING hit actually dangerous. The buses do not seem to have
any method of signalling when they are going to stop and
when they are full there is much delay while the passengers
crowd out or in.
Where bus lines are established on heavily travelled
roads the pavement ought to be especially wide so that We
hicles can pass readily enough even when there is much
traffc in tbe opposite direction. And it would not be amiss
IN compel those operating buses to pay at least part OF the
cost of the additional width of pavement which the oper-
ating of the buses makes necessary. II SUCH regulatlons
are made for the trolley companies, why should not some
such arrangement be made for the buses which are In keen
competition with the troHeys? Something has got to be
done shortly TO solve this highway congestion and the prob
lem of the buses is one of the things that has got u g met

A. The cucumber is one of the

DECLINE OF FAKE PAINTINGS
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskih

NEW YORK City. July 3.-Most
of Europe's industries are rapidly
regaining their pre-war strength,
but there is one which shows a ten
dency to languish indefinitely. That
is the business of manufacturing old
masters to sell to American collect
ors. 1t isn't being successfully done
this season.
Since the war. so many genuine
masterpieces have been placed on
the market by the impoverished no.
bility of Europe that Americans
have learned to be fastidious. A
painting has to have exceptional
merit before they will show any in
terest in it. At the same time, such
a tremendous flood of fake paint
ings and other art objects has been
let loose in Europe that they have
learned to be cautious. They are
extremely loath to buy unless the
goods has been guaranteed by a jury
of experts.
Thus, the reports recently circu-
lated about Paris that Americans
were buying fake Boticellis by the
dozen, is characterized as absurd by
a New York art dealer.
IF this were So" he declared
"our firm would have heard of it.
and not one such instance has been
brought to our attention. No fresh
ly painted Boticellis are being sold
anywhere. The appearance of age
cannot be copied and fakes of such
Il description could hardly be PALM
ed off on the sheerest novice. Until
recently many copies and fakes have
been offered here as genuine old
masters, but they were nearly all an
cient copies or old pictures wrongly
attributed to famous painters. Most
of them were offered in good faith.
There was no market for them here.
Corots have been faxed by the hum
dreds. but purchasers are very rare
in this country today for art works
of dubious value"
This is partly because Americans
know more about art than they
used to, and therefore nc longer re-
ly upon their own judgment. Even
our newly rich have heard so much
about their own supposed gullibility
that they will not make a purchase
without being assured by the best
possible evidence that a picture is
genuine. The new millionaire class
of Europe, on the other hand, is not
so lacking in confidence, and it is
from this domestic source that the
european uedle1S III ldht ubJSStS VI
art are now reaping their best
profits.
During the war. this was espe-
cially noticeable. Everybody who
made a cool million or two out of
a war contract Immediately went in
for art. But as SOC as the conflict
was over, many who had spent their
money as fast as they made it, were
anxious to realize on what they be-
lieved to be their art treasures. They
sent them over to this country. Upon
exnert examination such collections

SHERIDAN STREET

When the city starts work on the repair of the streets
The first move ought to be made on Sheridan street. For the
sake of the reputation of Perth Amboy this pavement lead
ine to the bridge ought to be kept always in first class con-
dition. If there is any one thing that Perth Amboy has prided
herself on it is her we'll paved streets. But there is nothing
to be proud of as far as Sheridan street is concerned.
It would be a good investment for the city to have a
street repair outfit of its own. To be able to mix the btu
minous material, spread it in the worn spots and roll 1t down
With a little steam roller would mean a great deal for the
citvs reputation and would, no doubt, be the means of saw
inc the taxpayers lots of money. Perth Amboy has a great
many streets paved with ~asphaltic, bituminous material and
4 small outfit to keep these pavements in repair would be a
decided advantage.
