THE BUS PROBLEM

The request Of the Middlesex Bus Owners Association that a
new schedule be worked out on the Perth Amboy-Woodbridge-
Carteret route ought to be needed by the Board of Aldermen. Com
plants have been numerous of late about the service between
these places. The traffic has outgrown the accommodations and
during the rush hours, particularly, there is much delay and in
convenience.
1t is a well known fact that passengers bound for Wood
bridge and Carteret are kept waiting at the curb while buses for
South Amboy and for Metuchen and New Brunswick pass, then
when a bus for Woodbridge and Carteret finally comes along it is
frequently so crowded that another long wait is often necessary
unless one wants to risk ones life in a conveyance already over
loaded.
Besides, most Of the buses on this route are Anticipated af-
fairs that are unfit for service. Larger and more uptodate buses
would go q long ways toward solving the problem and there
is every reason to believe that the rapid growth of the territory
covered warrants a more frequent schedule.
That buses have come to be a necessity is apparent. 1t is doubt
full if there ever will be another mile of trolley track laid. That
means if street transportation is to be superseded by the motor
vehicle just as the troneys took the place of the old horse and
cable cars. The modern bus is a conveyance that can dodge other
traffic, can be re-routed at Will and has the advantage of being
steered right up to the curb so that passengers do not have to risk
their lives by walking out into the middle of the street.
But there still is room for a great deal of Improvement in the
operation Of the buses. With our streets and highways as they are
they help to congest traffic and they are a decided nuisance when
they stop to take on or discharge passengers without leaving the
narrow strip Of pavement on the highways between towns.
This problem and the even greater evil of overcrowding
have got to be met. They are something for the municipal authori-
ties to consider and It's 81 going to require the best minds to find the
solution. Here is something that again carries us direct to the
City Plan Commission, NJ doubt, if given time and the proper
support that board will be able to advance a plan that will help
all concerned immensely.

No, Rollo, this pen-drawing by Artist Satterfeld does not
illustrate a new way of making corn liquor.
However, humor is not lacking in the picture as you
study the antiquated treadmil. In these days when power
work on the farm is SO generally done by gasoline engine,
the treadmill seems almost ~laughably old-fashioned.
Yet it is not many generations since the treadmin was q
scientific marvel and the main source of power, displacing
human slaves. .
Our present generators Of power-steam, gasoline and
electricity-will seem equally old-fashioned, later on when
men will get their power by Harvesting the ocean tides and
the wind, and by releasing the terrific energy locked up In
atoms.
Can horses thinki Many believe so. If they are right,
the old horse working on the treadmill is saying to himself:
'What a futile, monotonous life [ have-forever gauoplng
forward and never getting anywhere. Day after day l lead
the same existence, a boresome grind, doing the same old
thing over and over. How much better if I could get and
gallop in the pasture visible yonder through the door,"
The patient, plodding horse is mistaken. He DOES get
somewhere. For, by his monotonous galloping, he is making
the treadmill revolve. That, in turn, operates the belt that
keeps the %chopping mill going, grinding corn and cob into
feed.
Most Of us are in the predicament. But our work il
never futile. We may seem to get nowhere with our plod-
ding, but we are invaluable to civilization because our tread
mill helps keep the big ECONOMICS MACHINE going.
Gid-dap!

THE REFEREE

Police
The world laughed and hooted
when Sir William Norwood, head of
| Scotland Yard detectives, was
poisoned by candy sent through h
! mails. Scotland Yard kept quiet
1t has the laugh now, as it puts the
handouts OF a man whom THE
Yard charges with sending the
candy. No matter how excellently
anyone performs, it's the occasional
slip-up that gets the most attention.
In four recent years England had
800 murders. Scotland Yard work.
ing ON these cases, arrested 313 per-
| sons. Of whom only 81 were released,
the rest convicted. American police,

dents in connection with his work,
but mighty few of us could travel

Of weather, can travel 147, 900 miles

airplane will be the safest form of
transportation - safer even than
walking.
Ford's bookkeepers bring him final
reports showing that he made
1,351,33s passenger cars and trucks

Many now living will see the day
when some future Ford will make as
many flying fivvers as Henry made

Taking to the air Is part OF

Cruelty
In Mexico City, dog fights are
prohibited by Mayor Prieto Laurens.
He says it's disgraceful to pit ami
mails against each other in a death
struggle. Word is out that he'll
stop chicken fights next. The bull
fight may rel be banned.
This will especially please social
ed civilized white men who are op-
posed to cruelty to animals. Their
opposition is most emphatic between
the wars that slaughter mere hui

into print when announced. An oc-

ADAM ECKERT

In the death Of Adam Eckert this city loses one OF the oldest
and most respected citizens. He took an active part in public af-I
fairs and welded not a little influence at a time when Perth Am
boy was emerging from q mere fshermans village into a city of
no mean Importance. While he has been in comparative retirement
in recent years he never lost interest in civic matters and his
opinions and advice have always been listened to with the great
est consideration and respect.
Although a lifelong Democrat, Nj. Eckert was never blinded
by psrtsanship. In fact, his independence in following the course
which he believed to be right brought him, on more than one oc-
cason, into disfavor with some Of the active leaders of his party.
But this independence and his cleau-cut, open statements as to
how he stood on various questions won for him the confidence of
the people.
Mr.. Eckert was what we would now call a conservative in
politics. In fact, he was so much Of a conservative that, at a time
when the city was forging ahead by leaps and bounds, he was
sometimes looked upon as reactionary and it was felt that his op-
position to certain advanced ideas retarded rather than aided the
growth of the municipality.
The confidence that the people had in him, however, is shown
by the numerous political Offices to which he was elected. An
assemblyman for two terms, a member of the Board of Free
holders for six years, an alderman representing the second ward,
and alderman-at-large and a member of several municipal boards
at various times, he held pretty nearly every office in the gift of
the people as far as this city is concerned. His actions were always
deliberate and well thought out. He was a careful student of
municipal affairs and never spoke without having the positive
authority to back his statements.
Mr. Eckert was the type of man that is all too few in public
life. Very reserved in manner and never becoming excited, he
could not be carried off his feet by any sudden burst of enthu-
siasm. Being a man of ability, his interest in the welfare of the
public eye in recent years his services for the people will always
