Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-02-20

Complaint is becoming more and more persistent regarding
the bus service on the Perth Amboy- Woodbridge Careret route.
Not only is the Western Improvement Association complaining
about the accommodations, but people in Carteret are finding
fault with the way the buses are run,
In the first place, the buses on this route are old and anti
quated, and are entirely too small. Most of them have outlived
their usefulness. They are dirty and unsanitary, being unfit for
human beings to ride in under the most favorable conditions, and
when these vehicles are crowded far beyond their capacity the
condition becomes intolerable.
= The manner in which the people are huddled into these buses
is dangerous and a disgrace. A community that really pretends
10 look after the safety and welfare of its people cannot tolerate
such q state of affairs. This applies not only to Perth Amboy, but
to Woodbridge and Carteret as well. 1t is time some drastic
action was taken to afford relief.
Another crying evil in connection with this particular line is
he failure to maintain the schedule, especially in the early morn:
ing. Passengers who depend on the buses to reach their work
IN time are often compelled to stand for fifteen or twenty minutes
in the cold until a bus comes along. The buses are supposed to
run every fifteen minutes, but it is frequently a half hour or more
between buses, especially in the morning hours.
Complaint has reached the Evening News from people in
Carteret about the loose manner in which the early morning SEIZED,
uIe is maintained. There is no excuse for such delays as the
passengers have to put up with. There are few vehicles on the
road at such an early hour and the buses, if operated properly
lepegdeuce in them the least to be expected is that they live up
to their schedule.
1t might be well for the authorities Of Perth Amboy, Wood
bridge and Carteret to get together on this matter and see if
IN improvement cannot be brought about. The bus owners should
be made to understand that they have a certain responsibility toI
the public; this responsibility consists not only in furnishing
.lecent vehicles to ride in, but maintaining the advertised schedule
The Woodbridge Carteret line is without doubt, the worst opera
ting in this city. The condition has reached a point where some.
thing must be done by the authorities to give the people adequate
service.

G.. How is the da.e of Easter Sun
DAY determined?~-E. s. A..
A. Easter Sunday as calculated
hy the moon, not the real moon OF
the heavens nor the moon OF the
astronomers, but all imaginary
moor which is known as the paschai
moon. This is the full noon which
happens upon or next after the
twenty-first Of March, the beginning
of the Ecclesiastical year. IL this
full moon should occur on Sunday,
Easter Sunday is reckoned as the
following Sunday.
G. Is there any difference in the
food value of brown and white eggs?
j. +. M.
A. Chemists find no difference in
food value. The fact remains that
in some cities there is a demand for
one, while some prefer the other.
New York City and San Francisco
prefer white eggs, while brown ones
sell better in Boston
@. How much grass seed is used
to seed golf courses ?-T. OBJ.
A. 1t is estimated that golf clubs
will use 100000 pounds of grass
seed this year for seeding the $500
links in use and for planting the ap-
rroximately 200 new courses. The
old courses, comprising 100000
acres, uses an average of 400 pounds
a year, while the new require 5000
pounds for the first sowing, Most Of
the seed used for fairways is blue
grass and red top, while on the
yelvety putting grounds the bent
variety finds favor. II is safd that
the outlay of golfers for grass seed
is about $1.000,0oo a year.
@. How many Rotary clubs are

selling the commodities which other
persons make. The middleman who.
many economists aver, is the chief
contributor TO the high cost of living

Some difficulties stand i'll the way
of such a discriminating immlgra-

contain most favored nation clauses.
This phrase means that the United
States will accord to the nation with
which it is making a treaty, the same
privileges and rights which it ac-
cords to the most favored nation.
A treaty containing such a clause,
therefore, would prevent granting
freer admission to the citizens OF n
country than to those of another
which also had similar relations.
Thus, il the United states had most
favored nation clause treaties with
both Italy and Greece, it could not
let in freely the Italian workers
without also letting In freely the
people of Greece who are chiefly
traders.
These obstacles arc not impos-
sible to overcome and, therefore,
it is expected that in the course of a
few years congress will work out a
practical immigration law which will
meet its needs.
At present, laws keep out i'm
migrants who have certain classes of
diseases or intrmities or who are

FRICID FRAGMENTS

Just before the game Manager Bush
was presented with a diamond and
emerald ring by admiring Detroiters.

he played with the Tigers.

field screen, hit the wall and
rebounded to the playing field. The
Griffman had reached third when
Heilmann retrieved the ball and was
rightly ruled the sphere had been
driven from the grounds.
kcrr's double in the sixth inning
probably would have been converted
into a brilliant catch by Peck had 1t
been a warmer day.
The hit was a looper over third
base. and Goslin. Bluege and Peck
set sail for the ball. The Nationals
shorttopper got to the railing
sphere after a hard run. only to
barely miss the catch. Peck later
claimed his hands were SO benumbed
by cold that he could not grasp the
ball.
As HeIlmann came up to bat in the
fourth inning he was presented with
a brown derby by Nick Altrock, but
the Tiger made no attempt to pass
the headpiece to Umpire Owens. The
game was delayed while the news
photographers got in their snappy
work.
Ty Cobb found Warmoth's slants
not to his liking. The best the crafty
clouter got was a safe bunt in the
fifth inning. He came up in the sec
ond with two on and none out, but
had a foul tip caught for q third
strike.
Detroit fans did not relish the cold
weather any more than the players.
Before the game was three innings
old huge bonfires were kindled in the
outfield bleaehers and others were
lighted In the boxes and sections of
the grandstand. Great bundles of
newspapers fed the fires during the
remainder of the contest.

''Ty is trying to make George over"
he said. When his companion looked
at him little uncertainty. not getting
the meaning. this official continued
about Dauss." Dauss was pitching at
the time.
Dauss had motion that made him
too easy for the batters. He has
plenty on the ball. but he fed it into
the plate all of the time Ty wanted
try another and that is what Dauss
is doing now. Ty hasn't said much
about il because he wanted Dauss to
spring the surprise on the American
,ttas League batters. alters, There isn't any
although il looked that way some
times during 1922. when he broke
even with thirteen wins and as many
losses
And Dauss is springing that surprise
just as he and Ty thought he would.
IT is rather healthy surprise when
an old-timer can go out and win five
straight games right at the jump-off.
Those five victories play q big part
right now in Detroit's standing.
The Case OF Sam Jones.
Another strange shift of the pitch
ing situation of the American League
shows how little faith a man can
place in his predictions even if he
has the best confidence in his own
judgment. Last year, Jones Of the
Yanks, variously held to be one Of
the best pitchers in the American cir
cult and who was expected to shine
like a polished brass tray once he
got with the Yanks, couldn't win a
ham sandwich.
Bank went ali the prophesies in
one lump.
; This year. through the vagaries of
the great national pastime, and by 81
fortunate set Of circumstances Jones
has won three and lost none. True.
| he has not pitched through all of
them, but that doesn't change his rat
ing in the records of games for the
season. If he keeps on he may re-
place Bush as the leading pitcher
of the American League champions
