You remember the good old days when you could buy >
fine meal for a quarter. The army is doing better than that.
It will feed each of the 10000 young men who attend the
Citizens Military Training Camps this summer at a cost OF
70 cents a day for three meals.
The quartermaster general says he could give them the
regular army chuck at As cents a day apiece. But an addi-
tional % cents has been provided, to furnish fancy eats, such
as the 10000 may happen to be accustomed to in civilian life.
Each man daily will get, in addition to the regulations
menu, a pint of fresh milk or buttermilk, a salad for dinner,
and cereal and fresh fruit for breakfast. These four items
alone would cost 70 cents or more in the average restaurant.
basket. shopping for a family, the low cost Of feeding the
army is the eighth wonder Of the world.
And yet it's a marvel only by contrast.
In the first place, the army gets the advantage OF coop
erative buying-big orders, at wholesale prices. The middle
men are, to considerable extent, eliminated. -
Then, comparing with restaurant prices and manage,

charitable donations, kithen waste which in the army would be-
punished, higher-priced 'help, ; cost of soliciting buslnesSN
more fragile equipment, and probably the expenses OF orches-

The restaurant man will point out that one OF the most
vital of these items is that the army's ITO cents a DAY per
man. doesn't include any labor charges.
The solution Of certain phases of the high cost OF hvlng

COL. BRYANT's SUCCESSOR

Governor sizer has an important vacancy to fill. He must
name a man to take the place of the late Lewis T. Bryant, who
headed the Department of Labor for so many years. The governor
renominated Col. Bryant last spring for another term. In doing
this in spite of the pressure that was brought to bear by influential
parties the governor showed that he was determined to have a man
Of the highest type, and one who was above the suspicion of par
TALLY. Such a man was Col. Bryant.
But such men are hard to find. Because Col. Bryant was one,
he was repeatedly reappointed by succeeding governors regardless
Of politics. Governor Silzer has maintained a high standard in
the appointments he has made since he has been in office. This is
especially true in regard to the State Highway Commission. The
governor realizes the Importance of having the right kind of a man
as commissioner of labor. 1t has got to be a man who is as near
satisfactory to both capital and labor as possible. An extremist on
either side would never do. The administration of the labor de-
partment would be discredited at once.
The governor does well to consider carefully the filling of
This vacancy. It may be that, when all qualifications are consider
ed, the man who can come the nearest to filling Col. Bryant's
place will be found in the Department of Labor; one who has re-
eeved his training under Col Bryan, is in accord with the policies

D1sPosINc OF THE GARBAGE


The problem of what to do with the garbage is one that be-
Us more serious as population increases and developments
sad. This section of the country is becoming SO thickly set
that it is hard to find vacant places sufficiently isolated to
ged as a dump without causing annoyance to some one. Perth
Gboy is not the only city confronted with this situation.
The great city of New York still sticks to the practice Of
bading its garbage on scows and having it towed out to sea where
is dumped overheard. With every east wind, however, the
reater part of the rubbish is washed ashore on the New Jersey
teaches greatly to the annoyance of the thousands of people who
Eatronize the resorts along the Jersey coast every summer. The
nee has become so intolerable that the coast resorts are about
ny the matter into the courts to compel New York City to
pme other means for disposing of her garbage.
Perth Amboy has got to find a new location for the city
imp. The city property in the Insee street section has become
efficiently filed; besides, the growth of that section makes the
of a dump there a public nuisance. The latest sug
estion is to use the city property near the municipal lighting
lant at Eaglewood for a dump. 1t seems a pity to have to use
lat tract for such a purpose. There is a pond at Eaglewood
hieh has great possibilities. By raising the dam a few feet al
lake could be made that would be a thing of beauty in summer
and a wonderful place for skating in winter. But if the location
is to be turned into a city dump this possibility is lost.
The situation is different at Eaglewood from the North Am
boy section. In North Amboy the object was to fill in the low land
so that it could be made into a park. With a covering of top soil
a beautiful spot can be made there. At Eaglewood, however, the
feature of the location is the possibilities of water development
Naturally, no filing is desired where the property is to be flooded.
But as unsightly as a dump may be, it is hardly any worse
than the abandoned clay pits that are SO numerous in this section.
fact that there are so many abandoned clay pits in this vicini-
y&#gs to make it comparatively easy for Perth Amboy to dump
garbage. One would think that the owners of these abandoned
cIay pits would be glad of an opportunity to have them filled in
so that the land might be made useful for other purposes. Most
Ct the pits, however, are in Woodbridge township, and there
seems to be a feeling of resentment about having any part of
the township, no matter how isolated it may be, used as a dump
Ply another municipality. 1t ought to be possible for the township
and the city to get together on these things. Every year sees
Woodbridge and Perth Amboy growing closer together, and the
prosperity Of one is the prosperity of the other.
In the meantime, some sanitary means of disposng of gar
bsge must be found before long. 1t S a problem that will require
the best brains to solve.
