SAVE THE MEMO PARK SITE

It is not surprising that those who visited the Menlo Park
site which the county bought a few years ago for a tuberculosis
sanitorium, were deeply impressed with the possibilities Of the
place as a recreation center for the county. This upholds the ar
gument of the Evening News that instead of offering the land for
sale, the Board Of F~reeholders should keep possession Of it as a
nucleus for a county park. Middesex county is rapidly approach
ing a size in regard to population, when.i it can develop a park
system as Essex county has and as Union county is now develop
ng. That there is need for such a park is evident from the move
ment started by the various organizations represented in the dele
CATION that inspected the property Thursday afternoon. They
desire to have use of the tract for camp sites and a general play
ground for the boys and girls, especially for the children of the
DOOR who cannot afford to 60 to the regularly established camps.
That it is an ideal recreation ground is evident to anyone
who visits the place. But if It is 10 be used for camping there
ought to be strict regulations about keeping the place clean.
Public parking grounds are likely to become a nuisance unless
properly cared for. This spot is too delightful to be made an
,yesore on the landscape by the refuse Of numerous camping
parties being cast all about.
That the various municipalities in Middlesez county need al
zeal park and recreation ground is apparent. When the county
owns an ideal tract of land for such a purpose it would be folly
20 sell it just when the county is reaching the size for such de-
selopment. It is safe to say that once the people get the habit
II going to this beautiful spot for summer enjoyment there will
be strong opposition to ever letting it get into private hands
,gain.
By all means, let the boys and girls, through the different
-haifamg organizations, use the site for camping purposes un-
fer certain restrictions, until such time as the county can develop
. park system. Such a system linked up with Union and Essex
counties and so on up to the Interstate park in Bergen county
4Iong the Palisades would makes one of the most wonderful play
grounds in the country. By extending the county park system
rom this NIenlo Park site to the banks of the Raritan river
diddIesex county would have something that would not only be a
treat asset, but a delight to the thousands of people living in this
Unity.

YOUR SIDE OF IT

Your lungs inhale an average of $500 gallons of air a day,
according to a medical authority. We told this to the garage
man who has been overhauling our car. Being of a mechanical
turn of mind, his comment was: "Goshl The lungs must be
a fine piece of machinery, to do that much work and keep from
wearing out.
A neighbor, expert at making cellar wines out of various
kinds of garbage, said: "Twenty-six hundred gallons, ehY
What a pity it isn't w%hskey!"
Another friend, a neurasthenic who's always worrying
about his health, came back with: 81 wonder how much OF
the 2600 gallons is pure air, and how much is coal smoke,
auto fumes and disease germs
A happy-go-lucky chap answered: eyes? Well, why
worry about it unless the lungs carburetor gets clogged up?"
A gloomy friend growled: "Keep it quiet or some cor
porstion will corner the air supply and fasten meters on our
noses"
Our final experimental subject yawned: $50? Who's go-
ing to win the series this year?'
The wide variety of responses interested us as showing
the many types of humanity and how Inherently they react
TO events and situations.
A bit of information starts travelling. AS 1t reaches varl-
Gus people, each consciously or unconsclously applies 1t to
his own life-measures it in terms OF his character and per-
sonal psychology.
Thus one person interprets everything in mechanical
terms. Another weighs it as a Great Basic Cause. Still an
other ferrets out Of it a moral slant.
This is true of all news. For instance, a boom stock mar
ket suggests larger sales markets to the business man. The
gambler begins wondering if he can tear off a piece of the
plumber. a psychologist reflects that the rise in the market
indicates a down-curve of the fear emotion. A morallst las
ments the gambling craze.
ing the information that comes to us. That is, we single out
a certain angle of the situation that responds to our con-
trolling interests.
This is why people who see an event often think the news
naper has the account of it's balled up. The newspaper
prints the facts, as they actually happened, as the reporter
saw them. Not having exactly the same viewpoint as some
readers, the reporter may overlook the incidents that I'M
pressed those readers most. And the readers, IN turn, who
were son the job" failed to notice much OF what actually
happened, what the reporter saw.
To satisfy everybody, it would take 10000 or more coll
umns of a newspaper to report even a dog hight.

GOVERNOR sr1zER's BOOM LAUNCHED

After reading Governor Sizers speech at the Jefferson Day
inner of the National Democratic Club one can readily under
tand why the soft pedal was put on the presidential boom that
he Middlesex democracy desired to launch at their recent con-
crence in New Brunswick, but which ended in fzzle. Naturally,
fthe governor has presidential ambitions, and there is good rea-
nn to believe that he has, he wanted his candidacy brought be-
ore the country in a big way so as to attract nationwide atten-
Jon. To have the edge taken off by a pop-gun report such as the
iiddlesex county Democrats could give, would only tend to take
he edge off the greater event that was to follow SO closely. AS
,emblyman Devoe came pretty near spnling the beans by his
premature fireworks, but aside from getting a rise out of County
hartman Hayes, the Devoe announcement accomplished nothing
Tut to put himself forward as a candidate for delegate TO the next
Democratic national convention.
With Governor SiIzers speech before the National Demo-
ratio Club, in which he death almost exclusively on national is
.les. and mainly in attacking the Harding administration, the
governor may now be considered fairly before the country as a can
lidate for the Democratic nomination in 1924. From now on events
ire likely to move fast. The next step will be for the governor to
20 into the West and make himself known just as Woodrow
wilson did, and if he succeeds in making anywhere near the same
Impression that the former New Jersey governor did, his name
viii be one to be reckoned with at the Democratic convention.
But it must be recognized at the outset that George S. Sizer is
Tot a Woodrow Wilson by any means. There are marked SINH
'arhes in the way the two men conducted themselves immediate
y after becoming governor; both started out with a red hot fight
sith the legislature and both succeeded in accomplishing much
yr the people. But Governor SiLzer lacks the personal magnetism
hat Woodrow Wilson posses and will not be able to sway great
audiences by the power of oratory as Mr.. Wilson can. However,
.dere is enough similarity in the way the two men began their
erms as governor of this state to attract public attention to
Governor slzer and place him among the possible presidential
candidates. If not for President, then the governor stands an
excellent chance of being nominated for Vice President. If he
continues the record he has made thus far at Trenton his name

O. What is the most delicate
scales known?-E, E. Il.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
the most sensitive balance that is be-
ing sold is what the makers call a
"micro-balance" built by a Swedish
manufacturer of scientific instru-
ments. This balance will carry a
load of not over OIL gram which Is
a little over 0.0035 ounce, and Is
said to be sensitive to one millionth
of a milligram or to 0.O0OOOOOO0OS5
ounce. Such small balances as these
are not made for the sake of weigh
ing light substances, but are for
weighing small amounts accurately,
or for detecting very small changes
in weight. Particles of ordinary
solids so small that they could not
be seen without the aid of a micro
scope can be weighed on this sort of
a balance.
