DO TT FoR THE BOYS

An appeal is being made in this city to aid the Boy Scouts. 1t
ought not to be necessary to tell the people what the Boy Scout
movement is; the fact that it il making real, ~red-blooded Americans
out Of the youths of the land is sufficient. There is no denying the
worthiness of the cause. Perth Amboy, in particular, should be
generous toward the Boy Scouts because there are so many boys in
a city Of this character that need more than anything else just this
sort of training.
1t is estimated that four or five thousand dollars will be suffF
Gent to put the Boy Scouts on their feet this year. This ought to
be easy for Perth Amboy when it is considered that it means the
making of our future citizens. The Perth Amboy Lodge of Elks
has taken it upon itself to raise this money, and, with the idea OF
better informing the people of the Boy Scout movement and show
ing What the training is that the boys receive, a public mass
meeting has been called to be held in the high school auditorium
Monday night. The Elks appeal to the people to show their inter
est by attending this meeting and thereby lend encouragement to
those who are doing the work of raising the money, even if no
financial assistance is given.
The Boy Scouts mean a great deal to any community; they
mean more to Perth Amboy than to a great many places in which
they are well organized. 1t is a duty as well as a previlige to aid
a cause like this. The Perth Amboy council of the Boy Scouts
ought to be one of the most flourshing in the state. The mass
meeting Monday night ought to be largely attended and the funds
nseded BY the Scouts ought to be raised without difficulty.

TIGHTWADS

What is a tightwad? Uncle Sam, in a booklet, defines him
as "a man who saves 60 cents out Of every dollar, and expends
81 cents of the balance for living expenses, and one cent each
for education, recreation and aims"
That description might hold true in some cases. But how
about the rich? Thousands of them would find it next to I'M
possible, no matter how extravagant, to save less than 60 cents
on the dollar.
You can't define a ~tightwad. 1t depends on the income of
the individual, so it naturally varies. A poor man, ambitious
to get ahead and accordingly saving go cent out of each dol
lar that comes his way, is a fox, not a tightwad.
The trouble is, too many of us save withouta definite mo-
tive. The exists until we are
comfortably fixed. Then frugality is so firmly established as
a habit that it becomes an obsession, form OF mania.
How about a spendthrift? All, he's easier to define. Uncle
sam describes him as a party who saves nothlng, spends 90
cents out of each dollar on living expenses, 40 cents on recre-
alton and one each for aims and education.
Doctors, specializing in endocrine glandology, will tell
YOU that a dyed-in-the-wool %spendthrift is simply a man
with the peculiar condition of the adrenal glands that keeps
him absolutely fearless. A hero, for instance, is a spend
thrift with his life. A coward is frugal with his lfe-more
than frugal, miserly.
Always an interesting subject, this matter of how much
we should save. Uncle Sans booklet says that the normally
thrifty man saves 20 cents out of each dollar, spends SO cents
education.
Strikes US as a sensible system.
If you want to keep books-go on a budget basls-you
might go about it this way: Decide to save 20 cents out OF
each dollar you receive. The scientific way to spend the
balance, according to economists, is to divide each dollar
you spend, like this:
For food ..........'. 40 cens
For shelter -. '....-..... !! 0 cents
For clothing .'...a''.':... / D Cehes
For fuel and . cents

has discovered secrets which have
not yet been announced because the
government dislikes premature con-
illusions. The scientific work, how
ever, is progressing and it is ex-
pected that it will not be long be-
fore some international arrangement
is reached whereby the nations OF
the world will cooperate in making
observations and reports which will
absolutely harness the weather, so
far as information is concerned.
Already the science has advanced
far enough to enable the meteorolo-
gtsts to know where changes in
weather originate. The Boring Sea
and the area in the bleak and frig-
Id region of Lake Baikal in Siberia
are the breeding grounds of storms,
whence swing out across the world
the bodies OF atmosphere of high
or low pressure.
Ancient mythologies of Greece. of
Rome, of the Vikings, pedestalled
gods OF the thunder, the wind and
the storm. Tomorrow there will be
new gods sitting behind desks on
which rest charts of the world and
while these gods cannot lead the
storms, they, at least, will be able
to point their direction and foretell
their intensity.
1t is an interesting historical spec
ulation to wonder if Joseph was
more of a meteorologist than a pro-
phet and an interpreter of dreams.
1t will be remembered how he inter
preted the Pharaoh's dream of the
seven fat kline and the seven lean
kline to pref1gure seyen years of plen-
ty and sever of famine. The inn
porance of what the new long dis
lance f%orecasting will meal to HUI
mainly cannot be better exempli-
fed than by reference to that tale,
for did not Joseph, during the seven
years of plenty, amass stores of corn
and oil and did not those provident
stores ave the people of the land of
Egypt from starvation when the lean
years came?

THE REFEREE

Suicides
Discouraged, 1850 Americans
committed suicide last year, an
nounces DIR. Warren, who keeps
! track for the Save-a-Life League.
Enough to make a good-sized town.
Among these suicides were 70 mil
lionaires. Money isn't everything.
Not by a long sight.
Nine hundred children also killed
themselves, compared with only 477
In 1919. Boys seem most in danger
of taking their own lives at the age
of 16, girls at Is. Puppy love, usual

The strangest suicide was the old

Meat
How much meat do you eat? The
average American ate $50 pounds
last year, including babies in strik-
ing the average. This seems a lot.
And it is. Beef totaled 81 pounds
for each of us.
And yet here comes j.. c.. Mohler,
Of the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, with a warning hat extinc-
ton of the beef industry is threat
ened by decline in meat consump-
ton. He says we're eating 26 pounds
of beef a year less than we ate in
1901, apiece.
There's a reason, as usual. You

Music
Popular music gets stale so fast
these days that a photograph record
made in the east often is out of date
and not salable by the time it reach
es the Pacific coast-generally a
thirty days trip. So a big phono-
graph company will build q music
cannery In San Francisco. This In
dustry is up on its toes and fighting,
endangered by the radio which car
ries music across the continent in a
fraction of a second. Competition
will keep both sides awake.
Photograph companies are alarm
ed at radio more than they should
be. You can make the photograph
play what you want, something you
can't do with radio. People want
slaves.
