Of the year, according to business
men here, is a tendency toward high
er prices for raw materials as well
as manufactured products. Resist
ance to increased living costs, it is
pointed out, is being evidenced and
it may become factor in the BUSH
ness situation. Increased cost of ma
terials and a shortage of labor, which
is becoming marked in some indus
trial districts, reports received here
state, are the only things that could
stand in the way of widespread in
dustrial and business boom.
The strength and scope of the ex-
pansion of business activity in this
country have been accumulated by
development since the beginning of
the year, according to business lead
ers in Atlanta. The usual seasonal
slackening in many lines has not ap-
peared at all, they say, or has been
less pronounced than would ordinari-

NAME FOR WATERFRONT PARK

With the historic Kearny cottage moved to its new location on
city property that was bought for park purposes, tt S to be hoped
that this tract can be developed before long and made into a real
park where the people will delight to go. This is a part of the
city's river front where the possibilities are so great for doing
something worth while for the thousands who live here, and who
find it impossible to get away for a vacation during the hot sum-
mer months.
The suggestion that the tract where the Kearny cottage is now
located be called Kearny Park is a good one as conditions exist
today. But if the city, eventually, is to have one big park and
recreation ground along the river extending from the railroad to
High street. Or if it is finally decided to use for park purposes
only that section from the present Hayes tract eastward around
the Bluff to Water street for park purposes, it would be desirable
to have one name for the whole development. In that case the
cident, as the location of William PENIS house which was moved
from its original location in Philadelphia to Paramount Park in
that city.
Perth Amboy has got to go into this park development prop
osition in earnest very soon. The city cannot continue to grow up
without adequate parks and recreation centers. The City Plan
Commission will probably get to this feature in due course of
time, and it would pay the city TO see that the commission is pro-
yided with sufficient funds to go ahead with this work next year. !
With one big recreation center along the river it would be
hardly appropriate to have three or four different names for it.
We already have Caledonian Park at the foot of High street, ap-
propriately named in honor of the first settlers from Scotland who
fcfnded the city. Before any other names are formally adopted,
therefore, we ought to know just what this waterfront develop
ment is going to amount to, and we cannot know this until the
City Plan Commission has been heard from.

YOUR SUCCESS

Nature has taught every man to be a salesman when II
comes to making love, comments George Cromwell Blower
New York teacher of applied psychology.
mature teaches the boy who would sell hlmsel1 to MS
sweetheart as her husband, that everything about him talks
and that he must make it talk for and not against him'
For that reason, he brushes his hair, washes his ears,
shines his shoes, whisks his clothes and puts on his best man.
ners and most pleasing smile.
Courtship is the original form of craftsmanship.
In primitive life, the young man brings to his intended
bride the choicest birds, fish and other game-to convince her
that he will be a "good provider." And he brings her the rare
coored stone for jewelry, or the rare bird plumage, TO con.
vince her that he can supply luxurles. He is selling himself
to her.
In civilized life, you find the young man performing the
same Notwithstanding, to his sweetheart, his handbook and
business prospects and the box of candy or flowers.
The more you study simple psychology the more 1t Will
occur to you that all life is a matter of salesmanshIp.
We ego out of our way to please and hold our friends.
That's craftsmanship.
We cultivate attractive manners and common-sense de-
meanor and patiently build up a reputation for honesty and
reliability. All craftsmanship.
Instinctiyely we realize that we are here in this material
life on a short trip, with certain qualifications Of advantage
to others and certain handicaps that hold us back. We con-
centrate to overcome the handicaps and develop the quahhca-
lions. That's salesmanship-the supper appiedsclence.
Two thoughts will occur to you as you ponder TINS dls-
cussion of craftsmanship as a vital part of every human life:
FIRST: 1t would be an excellent idea for every boy
and girl to receive, some time or other In their education, a
practical course in the fundamentals of the psychology OF
craftsmanship. We can have much productive ability, but
without the ability to sell (market) it we are destined to be
candleights under a bushel.
SECOND: Salesmanship applies to nations as 1t applies to
individuals. Amiable foreign relations are a matter of sales
manship, and it might be a good idea to let the sales engineers
try their hand at so-called diplomacy-usuaLy the science OF
selling gold bricks and then trying to keep the buyers satisfied.
The first lesson in genuine human craftsmanship is Ralph
Waldo Emerson's essay on Compensation" Bookstores have
Il IN cheap copies. The libraries have it free. It's probably
the sanest thing written in at least five centuries.

PUBLIC SERVICE TURNS TO BUSES

Even Public Service is beginning to recognize the advantages
of the buses. No one should hope for any more trolley lines ex-
tending into newly developed territory. They are too expensive.
Why pay for a franchise or right of way, buy ties and steel rails,
poles and overhead wires, and then have the expense of maintain
ing all this, not to mention the pavement between the rails, when,
By investing a few thousand dollars, bus lines can be operated on
the highways which are maintained at public expense2
The latest move on the part of Public Service is to substitute
bus service for the present trolley service over the Kaighn avenue
line in Camden. Permission has just been granted by the Public
Utility Commission to make this change. The new bus line is opera
ted by what is known as the Public Service Transportation Com
pany. The trolley line on Kaighn avenue in Camden is to be
abandoned, and a line of buses substituted. This is what has hap
pened in BrattleborO, Vt, as already commented upon by the
Evening News.
The reason for this change from trolley to buses by Public
Service is the development of a new section in Camden, and the
desire to give transportation service to that territory. 1t is sig
nifcant that there is no intention to extend the trolley into this
new section; when extensions are necessary, even Public Service
turns to buses.

NEW AMBoY AVENUE DEToUR

A new detour for Amboy avenue to take care of the through
traffic to the shore has been adopted. 1t will be ready in time for
the weekend rush. Cars coming from the direction of Newark and
Elizabeth will be turned off at Main street, Woodbridge, and sent.
around by the way of Fords to Perth Amboy, coming down New
Brunswick avenue and crossing Convery place bridge, reaching the
state highway bridge across the Raritan river by way of Smith
street, Herbert street, Market street and Sheridan street. This is a
whole lot better than the present tortuous detour over numerous
streets in the northwest section of the city.
The new route is mainly in Woodbridge township, but Wood
bridge has no ground for complaint. This is a state highway.
Local conveniences must be sacrificed for the benefit of the greater
number. The idea is to have the highways of the state in first
class condition. While they are being put in such condition the
best possible routes must be used temporarily as detours. Wood
bridge must bear its share of the burden along with all the rest Of
the state. The people living in Woodbridge are going to get the
benefit of the Amboy avenue Improvement once it is finished.
3 For the sake Of the thousands Of autoists who go to and from
the coast resorts it is gratifying to know that this new detour is
being established. H.
