It's like pulling teeth, for a radio bug to shut OF the juice

DErous IN OUTRAGEOUS CONDITION

We have always understood that it was the policy of the
State Highway Condition to maintain detours in good condition
while main highways are being built or repaired. The detour IN
Metuchen on the Lincoln Highway is a reminder of this policy.
or course, there is a new commission in charge now, but this de-
tour was in use before the old board was ousted. Surely some.
thing ought to be done to make riding over it safer and more
comfortable.
Chances are that this detour in Metuchen viii be in use most
Of the summer. The highway from high bridge to the lower bridge
over the Lehigh Valley railroad is being paved. Excavations have
only begun. While this work is going on all traffic is diverted over
the old Lincoln. Highway route across high bridge. But the
stretch Of road from where the traffic leaves the present concrete
road to where the new pavement is reached is full of hills and hl.
lows for the whole distance, shaking cars almost to pieces and
jouncing the occupants about like ~cockleshells. -
Surely the State Highway Commission can afford the public
better than this. The heavy traffic passing over this
Aetour will make it impossible within a short time. A generous
coating Of crushed stone would be a big help. Surely something
ought to be done to remedy the pEeseat outrageous condition.

The Old Town
Street by Street-Know Your City


bhheF IIdcS
Baker Place, extending for >one
block from New Brunswick avenue
south to Sayre avenue, is consider
ably built up. Although there are
sewers in this section, streets are not
paved, and there are no curbings or
sidewalks. A large number of shade
trees line each side of the road and
these add considerable to the APP
pearance of the street. The road
has been graded and it is likely that
a concerted move on the part of the
property owners will result in curb
ing and cutters being put down.
This street was named after a Mr..
Baker, who was at n time presi-
dent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.

EDUCATION IN CENTRAL
EUROPE DESCRIBED

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The at
fairs of Central Europe in recent
years have been such sensational
political and industrial spectacles
that the ordinary channels have not
sufficed to carry the news of what
is taking place in more normal ard
commonplace departments of life.
With threatened wars, with eco
nomio conferences, with political
ententes and labor disturbances, TO
DON is left on the news cables FOR
reports of less sensational but no
less important character.
Realizing The lack of adequate
information, the government of the
United States has had a special re-
port compelled to find out Just what
is being done in central Europe in
the field of education. The first
report of this character takes up
the new country of Czecho-Slovakia
and shows that, even in the quiet
realm of learning, the war pro-
duced disturbing effects which will
not be t~ranquilized for some years
and also that the upheaval of 1914
has done many things to change the
general trend Of education which
means the generaf trend of the
equipment and thought OF the next
generation.
Czecho-Sloyakia is one of those
countries created by the Treaty If
Versailles. Its territory is patched
together from parts of the old
Austro-Hungarian and German en-
pires and its story of education after
the war is of special interest be-
cause OF the variegated complexion
OF the population. In the United
States we hear much of the melting
pot. The smile is fairly we'll chosen
because, for the most part, the many
races that come to this country do,
in the course of a generation or TWO,
melt down and take on an average
aspect.
No SO in such a country as Go
c~ho1SloVakia, The country is a nett
and SloVakia-Very ancient princi-
ing pot in the sense that it contains
a mixture of races and languages
but the experience of the Territory
in tie past has been that the con-
stituent parts do not melt and form
M composite alloy. One of the
possible results of the new regime
in education may be the actual
melting and Welding together Of
a new people. Now, however the
races in Czecho-Slovakia do not mix
any more than oil and water.
Czecho-Slovakia was erected out
OF the old dominfons of Bohemia
and Slovakia-very ancient prinei-
palities which once were ruled by
Barbarians, later by the Ro-
mans. then by the Franks in Char
lemagne's time and which finally
became that bloody battle ground
over which fought the armies of the
Holy Roman Empire and of the
warlike dukes who kept Europe in
arms throughout the Middle Ages
and the Renaissance.

Tribes Remained CIannish

Ever in. the midst OF alarms, the
various tribes which peopled the
country remained clannish for self
preservation and their insularlty
was maintained down through tho
generations. Political rivalries and
commercial rivalries sharpened the
differences between them and they
failed to merge. When one group
would subjugate another, racial
pride would keep the old, individual
language and customs Nalive so that
that part of Europe presents a ver-
table tapestry of peoples and
tongues.
About four years have elapsed
since the new state of Czecho-Slo-
vakia rose from the ruins of war at
the command of the Treaty of YER
~sailles. The boundaries were down
with close attention to what are
called the photographic lines. This
means that an effort was made 20
bind together in one state the PEG
pies whose interests were the same.
The best treaty makers could do
was to pour together in this melting
pot the western Slavic peoples to
provide a final opportunity to test
whether, under their own rule and
free from the dominion OF empires,
the various races would melt and
form a new and solidi1ed people.
It Is Individually true that In
commerce and industry, in finance.
and to a large extent in politics,
Czecho-Slovakia has shown more
signs CT melting than ever before.
There has been more economic re-
covery in this new country than in
any of the other territories whiLh
formerly ruled by the Central pow
ers. 1t is a little too early to de-
termine. whether education has
made a similar advance, for the
fruits of education are longer inl

America to Be EnguEfed
in Ice Cream and Sodas

You don't know of any small
boy in Washington who OBJ
jects to this, do you? Stats
ticians have it all figured out
that the United States will
consume $50 billion gallons Of
ice cream in 1923. This means
81 gallons for every man,
woman and child in the coun-
try. So it's up to every small
boy to demand his full rata.
He can do this by reminding
mother to order an extra
amount Of American Ice for
freezing the cream at home
and offer to be chauffeur to the
freezer, or he can ask her to
let him telephone one Of the
good companies to deliver his
favOrite flavor.
american Ice is absolutely pure.
