N A AUTO TOLL

1t is alarming to read in the headlines that six deaths and
many hurt make up one days automobile toll. Four of those killed
were children. All of these accidents were i'll and about New York.
The total figures for the country would be almost unbelievable.
And the worst Of it is the number Of accidents, both fatal and
otherwise, is increasing.
The tendency, of course, is to blame the automobile. No doubt
there are many reckless drivers and many who are utterly incom-
pstent to drive a car, yet they secure licenses and are permitted to
speed up and down the streets regardless of the rights of others.
On the other hand, there is a great deal Of carelessness on the
part Of the people who are not in automobiles. ''Jay'' walking
is common in every city. Instead of going to a crossing where
the pedestrian should have the right of way, people will attempt
to cross the street anywhere between blocks, coming out suddenly
from behind parked automobiles and walking diagonaly across the
street regardless of all danger. The time is coming when stringent
rules viii have to be made regarding people walking out into the
street at any point. Just as vehicles are forbidden to go on the
sidewalk, so pedestrians must be forbidden to go off the sidewalk
excepting at designated places where they should have the right
Of way.
But the greatest problem is the children. As the warmer
weather approaches the boys and girls come out to play. Where
are they to playG Traffic has increased a thousand fold on the
streets of the cities. Streets have been paved, traffic regulations
have been established and thousands of dollars have been spent
to meet the new conditions as far as the vehicles are concerned
but the children are still left to play in the streets just as they
did before the days Of the automobile. We have advanced 1op.
sdedly. AS we have endeavored to meet the traffic problem, we
should have endeavored to meet the childrens problem at the
same time. With no place to play but in the streets and with
the streets crowded with traffic as never before, traffic that moves
ten times as fast as the old h~orse-drawn vehicles used to, what
else is to be expected but that the boys and girls will be run down
and killed or manned for hfei |
The municipality cannot escape its responsibility. The
streets are no longer safe for playing. But children must play. Tt
is their natural life and we cannot controvert the laws Of nature.
To be fair, then, il Is just as essential for the welfare and proper
development of the city to have neighborhood Fairgrounds to
take care of the children of each neighborhood under proper SUPER
vision, as it is to have paved streets and traffic regulations with
special officers TO enforce the rules for the vehicles.

YOUR DOUBLE

Have you ever met your double? Somewhere, walking
the exact of you that, brought together, few could tell you
apart.
Occasionally your attention is called to the Law OF Dupil-
Gates, when newspapers discover and print pictures OF the
doubles of famous politicians, movie stars and so on.
You, of course, have had the experience OF a stranger mis-
taking you for some one living at a distance. Sometimes
the resemblance is SO striking that the stranger thinks you
are icshing when you inform him that he IS mistaken.
The real you-that mysterious and indefnable inner
something that includes thought and character and emotion
lis never duplicated exactly, though occasionally each OF
us meets a persons whose viewpoint is so strikingly similar
to ours that it bewilders us.
An extraordinary case of mistaken identity was exponsed
the other day in England. Arthur Collins, arrested by Scot
land Yard detectives on the charge of being an army deserter,
was found to be the double of the man wanted. }
He even had the same name, lived on the same street, fol.
lowed the same trade in civilian life, and joined the army
on the same day. Their fngerprints differ.
The "long arm of coincidence, " in this case, operated to
an extent never equaled in fiction, even "The Prisoner OF
Zenda."
We not only have living duplicates but we are duplicates
of people who lived in the past. Old settlers have often OBJ
served this-hew a boy or girl is almost an exact double OF
some ancestor of a few generations since.
Photography is a comparatively recent invention, SO lew
of us can check back and find our double Of long ago. In
families where oil paintings have been preserved for sew
eral generations, the recurrence OF slooks" Is almost una
yersally recognized. '
1t would be great sport, to turn the clock back a few cen
turtles and come face to face with the man or woman whose
features, build and mannerisms have cropped out in us.
Even more fascinating would be to turn the clock ths
other way and see the persons of the distant future who will
be doubles of us who are living today.
This recurrence Of doubles, generation after generation,
probably is what started the oriental belief in reincarnation.

INVESTMENT IN THE BOYS

The future of Perth Amboy depends upon the training we give
the boys of today. That was the keynote of the Boy Scout mass
meeting in the high school auditorium last night. The people Of
this city are being asked to invest $4,000 in the boyhood Of Perth
Amboy. Could there be any greater investments Could any IN
vestmert bring greater returnsf
No one knows the needs Of the boys of this city like Recorder
PickersgIl1. He has had a great deal of experience with them and
is in a position to learn more Of their temptations, perhaps, than
anyone else. It is humiliating to the city to learn that many of
the youths Of Perth Amboy get into the clutches of the police, are
sent to the Home for Boys at Jamesburg or the Railway reforma-
tory. It is humliating TO know that. so little is being done here
TO get hold of these boys and direct them into the paths of USE
fulness.
1t is not because the people Of Perth Amboy do not care; it is
more because they do not know how. Upon being told the condi
tiOns that exist they admit it is too bad, but ask, what is to be
donef
The Boy Scouts is the answer to that question. Here is an
organization that stands for the highest ideals, yet recognizes no
race, religion or creed. Boys must be doing something; the point
is to give them something to do that is worth while, something
that develops character and help to make them better men and
more loyal citizens. Under careful leadership the Scouts are
taught to help themselves and to help others. There is always an
incentive to strive for something higher. 1t is a development that
msnifests itself in health, efficiency, chivalry, loyalty and pa
tridism.
When it is realized that Perth Amboy already has more than
her quota of boys in the Janesburg Home for Boys, and that hard.
" a day passes that some youth is not brought before the recorder
charged with a crime Of some sort, truly it is time for the people
Of this city to arouse themselves and do something to save these
boys. When we are told that for $4,000 troops Of Boy Scouts can
be organized d. all over the city, why should we hesitate? The money
ought to be forthcoming within a day.

The Old Town
Street By Street--Know Your City
BURCH STREET


There seems to have been a desire
on the part of some one, who prob
ably was a lover of nature, to name
streets after trees, and so in turn the
northern section of the city we find
many streets named after the trees
OF the forests. Among them is Birch
street. This street is but one block
long and extends from Lawrence
street north.
AS yet, Birch street is unim-
proved and has never been graded
or put in condition. 1t Is located In
one of the late developments in that
section where the demand for prop
erty is not very great al present. 1t
is likely however, that this street
will be greatly benefited when the
Hall Avenue school is built and that
as soon as more homes are located on
II. the aldermen will be petitioned to
improve the thoroughfare.
