Goods of Germany
Demand Right to
Fight Duels

BERLIN, May %. - Women
students at Heidelberg Univer-
sity are very unhappy because
they are not permitted to en-
gage in dueling.
All the other privileges of the
male students have been accord
ed the women, but the faculty
has decided that it is not adj
visable for women to slash each
others cheeks and scalps with
swords, and the 600 women STU
dents don't like the ruling.
They insist they should have the
same rights as their brothers to
engage in sword contests if
they choose to do so.
The dueling season is now at
it's height in Heidelberg, and
many students may be seen on
the streets with gashes on their
cheeks and scalps, many Of
which are so deep that they
have to be drawn together with
sutures. The students are so
proud of their wounds that they
always wear them uncovered.

FASCITI OR LEGION OUT
OF MEMORIAL DAY PARADE

NEW YORK, May 23.-A flat
ultimatum, that If the Fascist are
allowed to march in the Memorial
day parade, as announced recently,
the world war veterans will stay
out of the line of march, has been
addressed by the Anti Fiscisti
Alliance of North America and the
Italian Chamber of Commerce, to
the grand marshal of the Man
haitian district of the G. A. r.,
managing the parade.
The Central Labor Council reso-
luton, vigorously attacking the
Fascist of Italy, was quoted in the
letter, which claimed the support
of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of Amer
lea and practically all organized
labor in New York, whether Italian
or not.

HE BECOMES THE COOK

SUNBURY. Pa, May 23.-Frank
Starr, serving two months in the
Northumberland county Jail for
bootlegging whiskey over his Hotel

Wilmer, in Federal court at Harris

ARBoR DAY TOMORROW

Tomorrow, April Is, has been designed as Arbor Day IN
New Jersey. 1t is a day that does not receive tie attention mat
if should, From the time the first settlers landed on these shores
until a comparatively recent date, the great problem In America
has been to get rid of the trees in order to make clearings for
be changed within a year or two, and it has been only within the
last few years that the seriousness of forest devastation has been
realized.
In Europe where the civilization is much older than IN Amer
lea. forestry is treated as a science. The preservation of the for
ests has been developed to the greatest state of efficiency. In
some countries forests are owned by municipalities and the revenue
received from the scientific cutting of trees helps to pay the city
expenses thereby keeping taxes down to a minimum,
But while the preservation of the forests is one OF the nation
al and state interests, the problem of trees IN Perth Amboy is one
Of direct interest to every resident o. the city. We have seen our
trees. some that have stood since colonial days, dying oft rapidly
in recent years and little has been done to replace them. One OF
he most attractive features of any residential district is its shade
trees. Perth Amboy needs them as never before. Trees ought TO be
set out Systematically. The people should be educated as to the
value of trees and drastic measures ought to be taken to see that
they are properly protected.
The Woman's Club has a capable committee at work along
this line and plans are being made to arouse interest in the city.
Il is to be regretted that the financial condition Of the city is such
that little can be expected from the Board of Aldermen in further
ing this work. The park board, which also functions as the shade
Tree commission, is doing the best it can with the small amount of
money appropriated for It's use, but it is entirely inadequate to cope
with the situation. But Arbor Day tomorrow and Tree Planting
Week tends to bring the matter prominently before the public,
and sooner or later the people are going to see the necessity of
doing something worth while.

CAMDEN SCORES AGAIN

Camden once more has shown how it can be done. Having put
across the commission form of government a few weeks ago, the
election of commissioners was held Tuesday and the non-partisan,
independent ticket was elected by a substantial majority, Having
wallowed in corrupt politics for a great many years, being lndltfer-
emit to ~"maohine' domination, the people of Camden arose in their
might and smote the politicians who have been exploiting the
city so long, a fatal blow
As is usual when commission government is proposed, the po-
Itical machines, or at least the one that is entrenched in power,
puts up a red hot fight to defeat. the movement. Failing in that
the organization proceeds to nominate a ticket made up OF men
allied Wit the machine and who will be controlled by the lead
ers of the ring They call it the business mans ticket, or some
other deceptive name in an effort to fool the people, and they make
the fight Of their life.
Camden is about the last place where one would expect such
q political upheaval as has just taken place. David Baird, the Re-
publican boss of South Jersey, has been the dictator of Camden for
a great many years. 1t was supposed that Uncle Dayy" could
never be overthrown. But he has been receiving many setbacks
lately and the final blow was given him Tuesday when his ticket
was utterly routed. The people of Camden have declared them,
selves at last free and independent.
Camden's city government will, beginning next Tuesday, be
under the direction of five men. Mayor Victor King, who fathered
the movement for commission government although its adoption
legislated him out of office, was high man on the ticket. The
other nonpartisan candidates elected are NJ. +. Middleton, JrY
who is president Of the Philadelphia stock exchange, Frank g. Hit
elmer, a wall paper manufacturer, Carroll p. Sherwood, an assist
ant superintendent in the Victor Talking Machine Companys
plant. and Fl. Raymond Staley is a salesman. This sounds like a
real buanesslke administration by capable men who are not par.
tcularly interested in politics. Two of them are Democrats and
three are Republicans as far as their party affiliations are con-
cerned.
Camden is in a position now to forge ahead as never before.
Already she has Paterson alarmed for fear she will take third place
among the cities of New Jersey. 1t would be well for the people
Of Perth Amboy to study Camden, Here we are at the end of our
rome. apparently, for the aldermen claim they can do nothing until
the new school is built, and when they have sufficient leeway to
issue bonds for the school they still will have to wait for more
bonds to mature before they can issue others for other needed i'm
provements. In the meantime our streets are wearing out, the
,eople demand parks and Fairgrounds; the fire alarm system has
SCOT to be modernized,F ayette street has got to be developed, and
there are many other important civic matters requiring immediate
attention. 1t is about time for Perth Amboy to cut out politics
and get down to business. What are we going to do about it?

One of the great unsolved mysteries OF our big cities ]
why people like to gather in a crowd and watch the pick-and-
shovel brigade dig a hole in the ground. It's a curiosity that
isn't limited to cities. Go4out into the country, start digglng'
and it'll just be a matter of minutes until the farmer VIII clmp
down off his tractor or desert his pillow and hurry across the
field to watch.
Noticing which, in a philosophical moment, Artist satter1
field made this pen-picture:
Satterfeld's theory is that the lure of digging INTO the
earth is inherited from boyhood when all OF us were hrmly
convinced that pirates treasure was buried nearby.
On second thought, he suggests: 1.-THE soil down under the
surface attracts us because we realize, that where we came
from, and that's where we1l return
Have you a better explanation?
Mark this. The crowd that gladly gathers to watch the
ditch digger is also ready to stop and gaze, seml-trance fash
ion, at the safe being hoisted out Of a building, the fallen
horse, the bootleg victim sleeping in the gutter, or similar
unimportant sights.
It lures them all-from rushing business man to corner
loafer. rich, poor, highbrow, simpleton. Afraid they IL miss
something. Never too busy to waste time.
However, let's keep on gathering in crowds to watch.
Thereby we express the Unsuitable curiosity that IS back OF
all progress. Curiosity, which drove Adam and Eve out oil
the Garden of Eden, is the guiding force of most OF their de-
