SIDEWALK TO FORDS

The action of Woodbridge township in awarding the
contract for the sidewalk from Rogan's corner to the city
line on New Brunswick avenue places a responsibility on
the Board of Aldermen to have the sidewalk completed from
the city line to where the present sidewalk ends.
The great amount of travel that there is between Perth
Amboy and Fords makes this sidewalk essential for safety.
The number of people walking is almost as great as the
number of vehicles, yet there is but a single narrow strip
If navement TO accommodate them all. The wonder is that
& sre are not more accidents, especially at night. 1t IS to be
med that the authorities will not wait for a second Mar
street horror before taking action.
Woodbridge is doing her part toward making New
lnswick safe for pedestrians. 1t is up to Perth Amboy
hold up her end also. The avenue is almost continuously
up for the whole distance between Perth Amboy ana
DIS. The sidewalk will form another link joining the two
es more closely together.

KEEPING BOOKS IN GOOD
CONDITION IS EXPLAINED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskih

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Book-
binding standards are changing. The
old belief that leather is the only
worthy and durable binding for a
good book is now almost discounted.
Libraries no longer add regularly
to their rows of old volumes bound
in aristocratic red and brown leath-
err. Buckram, unitarian and unro-
mantle, is s~upplanting morocco and
calf.
The Library of Congress, which
binds 10000 volumes a year for it's
own shelves. says that this is a nat
ural development of u large scale
of civilization. When leather was
prepared by hand by European
craftsmen 1t was undoubtedly a ma
terial of great lasting qualities. But
now factory methods prevail, and
leather is efficiently tanned with
acids. This process does not affect
shoes, purses, and other articles that
are expected to last only a few years
at most. But when it comes to a val
liable book that counts its lifetime
by decades and centuries, an acid
tanned leather is in for an endur-
nee test that it cannot be expected
to stand.
This development has contributed

material is said Il outlast the mod
ern acid tanned leather, and it is
even commended that it will wear
longer than the old hand prepared
acid free feathers. 1t will be some
time before this point is settled, be-
cause buckram has been in use only
about 20 years, and a fine grade of
old leather has been known to stand
two centuries of wear.
For a few years, the Library of
Congress has been able to get acid
free leather for some OF its valuable
books. Strangely enough, it is not
the latest magic of science which is
making this possible. The leather is
obtained from savages of Africa who
prepare the skins of the Niger goat
by some crude native process.
This leather is in demand for old
and heavy books. Buckram, how
ever is being generally used to bind
even important collections of docu-
ments in the Library of Congress. a
trip through the stacks in the manu-
script division shows long series of
volumes encased in olive, green,
brown, or gray buckram covers, with
panels of leather of the same color
decorating the backs and forming
a dark background for the gold let
tering Of the titles.

largest collection of books TO keep

its own b~ookbinding and repairing

with age and new paper-covered ad-
ditions to the shelves are bound in
the big library building by a force
of workers detailed from the govern
ment printing Office.

XMAS SEALS SALE
BEGINS ON DEC. |
Mrs. c. H. Crawford, of the
Board of Health to be in
Charge of Work This Year in
This Vicinity.

Mrs. G. II. Crawford of the Bruns-
Wick board of health, will be in
charge of the regular Christmas sale
of Red Cross Christmas cards this
yead and the sale will inaugurated
on December first.
As is generally known the proceeds
CT these sales is devoted to the care
OF tuberculosis patients, in the cities
where the sale is conducted.
Mrs. Crawford has furnished some
interestinw data on the subject OF
tuberculosis, which is Interesting.
I In the United States it is estimated
that 100000 persons die each year OF
tuberculosis. of the 90,0O0,00O PEG
pie now living in this country. it is
estimated that 100000 are doomed
to die of tuberculosis unless the dis
ease is checked.
tuberculosis is fast becoming in
fact already is, class disease: it is
much more prevalent among the poor
than the well-to-do.A Hence the pre-
vention Of tuberculosis has become
a sociological problem. Poverty With
all its attendant hardships, such as
que HIoM1eAo 'Su!snoq peg poop Iood
worry, diminishes resistance to the
infection; while prosperity, which
buys good food, rest, change Of air
arc scene, choice Of occupation and
diVersionincreases our resistance to
the Infection. An increase of wage
or decrease of cost of living; short
ening the hours of work; improvin,
the conditions of industrial hygiene:
adding to the number of holidays; /
Fairgrounds, parks and wholesome
recreation, all help to increase our
resistance AGAINST and dimish the
prevalence of tuberculosis, Science
has shown the Way; it remains for
society to apply the knowledge.
