BEST EXERCISE

The best exercise for fat women who want to reduce is
s~crubbing the kitchen floor, claims Mrs. Catherine II. Grie-
bel, of N. J. State College of Agriculture.
Maybe so, but it's like telling the tired business man it
would do him as much good to get a caddie job as to play
golf.
Wood chopping is about as fine exercise as there is. But
there's no danger of wood chopping becoming the national
sport.
People, when they Exercise want to get away from
work.
After all, it's a good thing for us to try to get our physi-
cal exercise in the form of play. Exercise helps the muscles
and internal organs, but play makes the nerves relax, which
is just as important as developing the muscles.
There ism much relaxation of tense nerves when we COM
bine hard work with our exercise.
victim of nerves rather than of physical inactivity. This can
be proved by going to bed and staying a week, thereby getting
rest and nerve relaxation that will do many of us as much
good as a whole season of golf.
It's a mistake to start a campaign of strenuous exercise
unless we re prepared to get more hours of sleep than we've
been used to.
Sleep does us more good than all the pills, serums and
other forms of dope ever devised.
The person who feels 'sall run down. should start his
building-up campaign by getting plenty of sleep. Also
by lying down several times during the day, for about 20
minutes at a time, to rest the overworked heart. Remember
when we're standing up the heart has to pump the blood
stream the full height of the body. When lying down, gravity
helps-the blood flows parallel with the ground, Like water
through horizontal pipes.
The second big need is fresh air and lots of it.
Exercise comes third. Combine it with play, to relax the
nerves. There IL be plenty of time to scrub the floors and do
other physical labor later.
Finally, the thing that is wrecking the nerves of the Amer
lean people is needless rush-hurry at breakneck speed and
without any special destination. We have to speed up at our
work but it's time to slow down and ''take things easy'' when
the bell rings and We quit our jobs until tomorrow.

BEER TRUCK SEIZURES
pedestrians.

With the police of Tottenville acting under orders to exam
inc carefully the contents of all trucks passing over the Perth
Amboy ferry and with seizures already reported, it will be in
teresting to watch developments. It is an established fact that
New Jersey roads are congested with trucks transporting beer to
New York City and several successful raids have been conducted
by State Director Chamberin. However, little action in that di-
qualities of the state.
The police of Staten Island have received their instructions
and are proceeding to carry out the drive against the transporta-
ton of beer. To get to Tottenvlle, the drivers of these trucks
must pass through Perth Amboy, stop at the ferry and purchase
a ticket and then board the ~ferryboat, all of which takes consider
able time.
1t win be interesting to keep a tally of the number of seizures
made at Tottenvlle of beer trucks that passed through Perth
Anboy and over the ferry.

JAY HERE

Mayor Wilson'S move to curb Jay walking on the streets
of Perth Amboy is most timely. His scheme, outlined in a COM
munieaion read at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen Mon
day night, calling for an educational campaign to make the streets
safer, should be given support by the city in general.
Mayor Wilson's plan for a probationary period, during which
time pedestrians will refrain from crossing the city streets at ran
dom, lodging vehicles and causing confusion to all concerned, is
an excellent one. Persons who dart across the streets between
crossings endanger their own lives and the lives of others. While
Perth Amboy exercises great care during the busy times of the
day in regulating traffic and in protecting pedestrians, it is i'm
possible for an officer stationed at the intersection of two or more
streets to control traffic unless pedestrians are forbidden to cross
streets except at designated places that are under police protection.
The local traffic officers have been watching and warning Gay
walkers here for sometime and can frequently be heard warning
some offender for their lack of caution, The officers should be
given assistance in their endeavors. The school authorities, by
conducting an educational campaign can help the movement great
ly for children have proved the greatest offenders here and else
where. At the same time the city should have an ordinance pro-
hbiting Jay walking Newark and Hoboken have taken such
action and other cities of the state have the matter under consid-
Grafton. 1t is felt that the strict regulations governing the opera
ton of autos in an effort to cut down the number of accidents
should be augmented by placing some restrictions on the antics
pedestrians.

NO PRICE FIXING WANTED

4tB stated on what is believed to be good authority, although
unofficial, that President Coolidge viii oppose any effort of the
next congress to seek governmental price guarantees for wheat,
Or the proposal to have the government purchase and hold wheat
in order to increase the price to producers.
There is reason to believe that Senator johnson of Minnesota,
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, and a number of other senators claim
ing to represent the agricultural interests of the nation will seek
to have the government get behind some plan for increasing the
market price of wheat. 1t is a proposal that is certain TO meet
with much opposition.
1t will be freely admitted that the farmers have for several
years been getting the worst of the economic deal, but it is doubt
full if many of them care to participate in any doubtful expert
ments in the way of governmental paternalism.
While it is true that the government gave a certain measure
Of guarantee of wheat prices during the World War, when there
was an usual demand for export to Europe, the plan was adopted
as an emergency. The grain was needed, just as guns and am
muuition were needed, and the price was fixed to encourage pro-
duction in the United States.
The situation is very different now. Growers of the United
States have a surplus of wheat estimated at 200O0O,o00 bushels,
and the former market abroad has been greatly decreased by the
fact that European countries are supplying a larger proportion Of
their needs. It is estimated that Russia will have a surplus of
wheat this year.
The problem of the agricultural interests Of the United States
i a real one, but it seems reasonable that it can not be solved by
having the government assume obligation Of a paternaistc nature
ii is strictly a business problem, and if solved satisfactorily it
must be in a business way.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23:-Los
| Angeles is as full of grotesquerie as
a medieval city.
For instance, along East Fifth
street, there are many nuances,
many eerie overtones in the SYM
phony of life. Where else is there
! a chiropodist who seats his patient
, on a platform along the sidewalk
and gives him the Police Gazette to
read while his corns are being
scraped al fresco?
Or where else a Scotch dentist
with a blaring red mustache, who
plays the bagpipe to attract custom,
standing in his white starched apron
beside his white, enameled dentists
chair in the middle of a room with
three sides. and a big sign over the
open front reading, Free Dental
Clinic?
There is Madelon, the lady bar
Der. There are no doors to her one
chair shop. Everything is in plain
view. But IL a customer, unabashed
by this publicity, attempted to get
fresh with Madelon he would be un-
pleasantly reminded of his inferior
ity. The lady barber is muscular
and she has the razor.
Famous figures of the films stalk
self-consciously through the grounds
of the Monroe Centennial and Mo-
ton Picture Revue, now in progress
here. Visitors stare and nudge and
whisper. Extras parade through the
grounds laid out in buildings bor-
rowed from the Aztecs, and bask in
the visitors belief that they are
stars.
A girl in wig and ~rose-colored
dress of the period of the Grand
Monarch. Dark-skinned youth made
up like Valentino in Spanish garb,

The Montmartre Cafe on the
grounds Is the scene of a banquet
for the South American diplomats
attending the exposition. Palm
branches on poles overhead make a
pleasant canopy for the ~banqueters.
Between the branches are thin slices
of the, pale blue evening sky.
Los Angeles newspapers, fond of
announcing, ever SO often, hat an
olHSr Dig L. "A. MuTuSr mystery
has come to gladden. our hungry
hearts, have overlooked a news story
of a different sort, which will be
read with interest in distant coun-
tries.
1t is the discovery of an alleged
original painting by Corot, greatest
of the French landscape artists.
Boris Deutsch, a Russian and a
struggling young artist here, bought
1t for a song.
Connoisseurs think it is genuine.
If 1t proves to be a real Corot it
will be worth anything up to $780,
900.

notes the female being.

THE REFEREE

(By Albert Applet

C
Ernest L. Sawyer advertises in
the London Daily Express: "On the
day it is proved that the grating of
an eye can be performed with a
reasonable certainty of success, I
shall be willing freely to share my
gift of sight with any poor English
man, or child who is blind,
whose circumstances a be vouched
for, and the advisability of whose
case is recommended by a RESPONSE
BILE authority"
There is always hope for a world
that has generous humanitarians
like Sawyer. forerunners of a day
when the brotherhood of man will
be so worldwide that generosity like
the gift of an eye to an unfortunate
fellow-man will be customary.
Life is never any 1lore miserable
than humanity makes it.
SpeederS
Sweden, determined to check auto
speeders, passes a national law maxi
ing it compulsory for all autos to
be equipped with speedometers that
will make a record showing how
fast the car has been run. No argu-
ments with the traffic cop then.
Unfortunately, after passing the
law, the Swedish Riksdag discovers
no such speedometer has been in
vented.
Well have such devices in Amer
lea eventually. Also, as autos ap-
proach the saturation point, Wen
have to gear cars down SO it win be
impossible to run them more than,
say, twenty miles an hour.
Gold
Ancient alchemists sought a
method to create gold from cheaper
substances, especially lead. Modern
alchemists seek to destroy gold, says
DR.. Paul d. Foote, government
scientist, because one gram of gold
destroyed by transformation into
electrical energy would be worth
81, 900, 900 at the present price of
electricity.
The chief goal of modern science
Is how to release the energy locked
up in the atom. The discovery will
be made some day. Political revolu-
tions fire imagination. but the
greatest of all revolutions is the In
dustrial mi that is taking place in
our generation.
