ROAD
PROTEST MADE
People in That Section Say
Road One of Most Danger
GUS in the State

MORGAN, July 27-The elimina-
ton of the death r at Ye Olde
Spy Inn, widening of the road that
leads through the main thorough
fare at that point and plans for a
new road along the meadows, a
strip of about a half mile, is strong
ly advocated by the business peo-
pie, residents in that section and
motorists who frequently use that
artery of travel to reach the sea-
shore. The suggestions and propo-
sails of various people interviewed
were almost unanimous. According
to their claims they have made sew
eral years study to improve the
congestion of traffic, particularly
on week-ends and holidays.
Merchants along the road near
Morgan deplore the mass of traffic
as hindering to their business. While
the trade depends mostly upon
transients the traffic congestion does
not permit motorists to make any
purchases. The width of the road
is also much too small to allow two
cars to pass on the highway at the
same time particularly from the
first curve near the inn to the next
curve above the bridge. Accidents
near accidents, and hundreds of un-
recorded mishaps of Automobiles
have given the residents there great
cause for despair.
In the opinion of the taxpayers
there the road is entirely insufn-
cient to accommodate the constant
ly increasing motor traffic. No i'm
mediate action has been taken by
the State Highway Commission TO
better the situation there, they
pointed out, and declared that the
traffic problem is becoming acute
and alarming.
A most feasible suggestion was
made to construct another highway
from a point near the curve rum
ming along the meadows to the New
York & Long Branch railroad,
hence, without crossing the tracks,
motorists could run along as far as
Matawan, going parallel with the
railroad. Motorists bound for Mata-
wan, Freehold, Barnegat, Lakewood,
Toms River, and nearby points
would use the new highway. 9th
ers on their way TO Keansburg and
Asbury Park would use the present
route. Dividing the traffic woui
in the opinion Of people relieve the
traffic problem for some years to
come. On Saturdays and Sundays,
it was pointed out, trains pass Nor
gan crossing at short intervals.
Machines are lined up and by the
time one mass of traffic has gone, the
railroad gates drop and a similar
blocking is caused.
The Immediate widening of the
road for at least fifteen feet was
also recommended. Death defying
stunts with automobiles have oc-
Cured and the widening of the road
would help to do away with the ac-
cidents, it is claimed.

GET PETITION
ON COAL CARS
Public Service Coal Action
Taken Up With Interstate
Commerce Commission
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News.)

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The
Public Service Electric Company OF
New Jersey today petitioned the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
grant a re-hearing on the assigned
effect of which would be to turn over
the $1,500,000 worth of coal cars
bought by the Public Service Cor
poration to the railroads and force
the corporation to take its chances
In the allotment of coal supplies
with all other consumers regardless
of its contracts.
The petition of the Jersey COM
pany, which is one of the strongest
which has yet come before the COM
mission, is one of a large number of
similar protests from public utilities
corporations all over the country.
The commission is requested to post
pone the enforcement of its assigned
car order until April l, 1924, pend
Ing a ~re-hearing. The order as is
sued was to go into effect September
1, but as a result of earlier protests,
the date was set back m month.
The business of the New Jersey
Company, which serves 202 munich
p~alities of the state, with a popula-
ton of 2,505,705 cannot be carried
on effectively without a constant flow
of coal which can only be assured by
the use of its own cars, according
to the brief presented to the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
During the war, the brief r%ecites,
the experience of the corporation
was that priority orders and emer-
gency powers were not effective in
obtaining for them the coal sup
plies which they needed to provide
the current for the operation of troll
ley lines in LAT municipalities, and
the other commercial services rem
dered in New Jersey. For this rea-
son, the company purchased 500 coal
cars, in order to protect itself and
its consumers from the exorbitant
prices, poor quality, and unreliable
delivery which obtained under the
former plan.
Under the assigned car order of
the commission, no such cars, no
matter by whom owned, could be
devoted to the exclusive transport
tation of coal from the mines to the
corporation owning the cars, even
under contract. All these cars would
have to be pooled in the general
ear supply of the nation: while the
owners took what coal supplies
might be doled out to them.
Designed to prevent discrimination
by the railroads in the distribution
of cars to the mines, and assure an
even flow OF coal from all districts,
the order would have the effect of
working enormous hardships on
public service companies and those
dependent or them, it is claimed. II
1t is put into full force, the only re-
course of the New Jersey corpora
ton. it asserts, will be to sell its cars
to the railroad companies, which
would probably be at a serious loss.
A total of SIS. 900, 900 has been
put into coal cars by the New Jersey
Public Service Company, the Sea-
board By-Products Coke Company.
n Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company,
the Westmoreland Coal Company.
and a number of other corporations
which are associated in the fight
against the assigned ear order, it is
said.

Lucy Lowell Pleads for More Indi-

TEM1NINE progress is not
merely a matter Of going
forward in politics, business
or the professions. It is partly
steadily Increasing knowledge of
how to hold fast to individuality.
Otherwise every American
woman might, at this moment,
find herself appearing at dinner
or the matinee in q kimono with
her hair slicked back to match
the eyes cast modestly down in
keeping with the general require
ments OF what is handsome in
Japan!
Nine. Hisaye Yamamoto. fashion
arbiter of Tokyo, came to our
shores a few weeks ago for the
purpose Of popularizing the ma
tional garment Of her country.
She had a great deal to say
about it's truly artistic beauty"
which she declared to be not at
all appreciated by femininity of
the Occidept. She'd have US do
more with it than slip it on OF
mornings for a boudoir robe.
Almost simultaneously with her
coming a famous modiste Of Paris
dictated the slender, slinky gown
Of ancient Egypt for women Of
her country and our own. This
Is the graceful thing. she pointed
out, since it runs to utter SIM
plicity and the perpendicular
lines that thinnishly stylish wom-
en- desire.
Almost Immediately there went
forth a protest from another de-
signer-no less than the famous
Jeanne Paquin-who knows her
public through years Of trying out
many and varied modes.
There never can be a set style
for women" protested Jeanne
Paquin, 80 long as women wish
to be beautiful and men wish to
have them SOL
And then she sat back to see
what would happen.
A number of women adopted
the Egyptian mode. They were
slender women, mostly, who find
the straight, narrow effect be-
coming. Rotund. figures did not
ignore the influences of the Val
ley Of the Kings. But they adapt
ed them to Waistlines and elimi-
mated height destroying solid en-
broiderings for borders or panels.
And If the propaganda Of the
little madame from japan made
the slightest impression in this
land Of the free, it is not visible
to the naked eye.
Charming as is the kimono on
the tiny, small-girl figure Of the
japanese woman, it isn't exactly
neat on the full-portion dimen-
sions of Madame America, with
her athletic tendencies and her
insistence upon draperies which
in no wise interfere with freedom
Of movement.

and most Of the sea south. Now
globe is north Of the equator,
meteorclogists know that there IL
a characteristic continental eli
mate" and an equally character
istic oceanic climate" arising
from the different ways in which
the sea and the land dispose of
the radiation from the sun.
Broadly speaking, an oceanic
climate Is relatively mild and
regular, while a continental eli
mate Is severe and subject to
great vicissitudes.
Owing to its oceanic climate
the southern hemisphere manages
to dispose Of the greater quantity
of heat that it receives in summer
without having to endure tenn
peratures notably different from
those Of the North. Local con-
ditions offset The effects Of the
suns relative nearness. In a
similar manner the equability Of
its oceanic climate saves the
southern hemisphere from the
glacial temperatures that It
would otherwise experience dur
ing it's winter, when the sun Is
farthest from the earth.
But, here you may remark:
$50 much the more reason why
the south polar regions should
have less ice than the north polar
regions. instead OF having more,
as they do"
This sounds reasonable until we
remember the fact that there is O
great difference in elevation be-
tween the Arctic and the Anrarc-
tic poles. The North Pole lies
in the midst Of q deep ocean
basin, almost completely sur
rounded by land, while. the South
Pole lies on the summit Of vast
antarctic continent, as great in
extent, perhaps, as Australia, and
remarkably lofty. Possibly it has
the greatest mean elevation If
any continent on the globe.
Shackelton found elevations rs
great as 1850 feet within a
short distance from the south
pole, and he, Amundsen and Scott
all agree that the south polar
region Is a huge mountainous pla-
teau, buried under eternal snow
and ice, and frequently swept by
violent billiards.. Curiousiy
enough, as far as known, it's gum
mer temperature is proportionally
colder than it's winter tempera-
ture, while its winters are rather
less severe than those Of the
Arctic.
1t is to its great elevation, max
ing of 1t a vast ice-burdened
mass, that 1t owes it's relatively
low temperature. You have only
to climb a high mountain, o"
make a lofty aeronautic trip in
midsummer, to see what the eff
feet Of elevation on temperature
is. And just as Greenland, with
it's high backed, ice, lying off the
northeastern shoulder of our con
tinent cools the north Atlantic
coast unseasonably, and chills the
sea as far south as Newfoundland
with icebergs, so the vastly
greater glaciers crowding down
the Antarctic slopes. make icy
seas of the ring Of deep water
that borders the south polar COL
