BILL MAU7iN SAYS,
TIMES ARE HARD"

''It just beats thunder how hard
times are. and how scarce real money
is. Everybody is on the ragged edge
OF poverty. and the poorhouse is loom
ing up just around the corner. The
other night we stood in the midst of
a poverty stricken crowd that had as
sembled to hear band concert. Ac.
taally there weren't to exceed hun
dred thousand dollars worth of auto
mobiles in sight, and sarcely thirty
thousand dollars worth parked on the
side streets. | have some expert
knowledge of tobacco quality and |
knew that from the scent of the cigar
smoke that fioated in the air that the
poor, poverty stricken men about me
were actually compelled to solace
themselves with two-fora-quarter ci-
gars instead of their favorite fifteen
cents-straight brand.

out OF every hundred that listened to
the music wore silk stockings. due to
the stringency of the times. Actual
ly many of them had to appear in
shoes that cost as little as $3.50 per
pair.
My heart actually bled at the sight
OF so much poverty and suffering In
land so fertile and which should be
overiiowing with milk and honey.

thousands of people would have listen

not been for the expense OF buying
gasoline. A few days before the
banks had advanced lot Of money to
permit the paying OF partial wages to
the beet tenders. and scores OF people
were disappointed because the stock
of fiivyers on hand was not near big
enough to meet the demand.
And as my usual enjoyment OF the
splendid music of Gerlng's band was
spoiled by the contemplation OF so
much poverty and distress, went

HELP TO BUILD UP
Z NOT TO TEAR DOWN

Cooperation is the life of town.
Antagonism is its death.
1t is well for us to keep these facts
in mind when we consider the affairs
of Holyoke.
We all want community life. None
of us want stagnation and death or
course. We do not all think the asme
and it is well that it is so. Diversity
of thought and expression bring out
the best and the worst of every ques-
tion that we have to consider.
The advocates of all sides having
placed their views before the public
it then becomes the province of the
people to judge as to which will con-
form most to their interests. and
adopt that course.
1t is then that cooperation creates,
or antagonism destroys. 1t is then
that we show up as loyal and pro-
gressiye citizens. or as mere trouble
makers. Cooperation is greater than
all of the seven wonders of the world.

SIXTEEN MlkLioN
AUTOMOBILES IN 1925?

Three bdndred motor cars were reg
istered in the United States in 1895.
In 1926 thirty years after, the number
will be in excess of 16,000,000.
THIS is not prophecy. but con
tinnati0n of table of registrations.
In the ten years from 1913 to date,
THE table of motor car registrations in
hundred thousands, reads as follows:
IL, II, 224, S5, 81, 81. 73. 81. 104. 1913.
1t is hardly prophecy to say that the
next two years will show figures Of
140 and 100 hundred thousand. or
14,OOO.OOO and 16,0OO,O0O cars regis
tered.
1t is inevitable that these cars have
more and more good roads to run
upon. II this number of wheeled ve-
hicles congest our few hundred thou
sand miles of good roads 1t is obvious
that greater number will COMPEL
more and more hard-surface high
ways.
Opposition to good roads comes
from two sources; the ignorance of
tax payers, who think that the bond
issue or the road tax represents outgo,
instead of means of increased income,
and politicians. who desire pork bar
rel national legislation in order to
get votes, rather than money to be
spent upon roads.
Both classes of opposition are
slowly but surely being steam rollered
out of existence, with the automobile
in the role of steam roller.
How many cars in 1885!

Teachers Hear
Mrs. Mossman

Mrs. Lois Coffee Mossman, of the
Teachers College of Columbia Uni
versity came here yesterday and
gave a talk before the Perth Amboy
Teachers Association at the High
School after the school session.
Mrs. Mossman was here for the
purpose of enlisting teachers in the
formation of a class in the general
method of teaching. She spoke OF
the richness of this section with re-
gard to the teaching of geography
and history in the schools and the
Importance of the many large indus
tries with regard to those two sub
jects. She compared the general
landmarks of this section with those
of the western states in this respect
and remarked that this was a won
derfuI field for study.
President Mark r. LETTER, of the
association, presided, conducting the
meeting which was attended by
about thirty teachers of the city
schools. Mrs. Mossman would like
to form a class here of forty-five and
the time for the class would be from
AIS in the afternoon until 6 o'clock.
Anyone who would like to enroll can
do SO by making application to Mr..
LETTER at any time.

Girls Club Hears
Miss Mabel Mu lin

Martha, By the Day" was given
by Miss Mabel Mullin, a local en-
tertainer, in a most charming man.
ner before the Girls Club, at their
meeting in the auditorium Of the
public library last night.
Martha, a happy go-lucky woman
of the East Side of New York, who
went out working by the day." took
upon herself to care for a poor, lit
tie girl who had not a friend in this
big world. Claire had a college edu-
cation, but her father lost all his
| money and soon after died, leaving
her alone. Martha cheered her up
telling her that she knew where she
could get her an excellent position
as governess in the wealthy Talbot's
home. Martha visited the Talbott
and explained that she was a family
servant at Claire's home at one time
and now this little girl had lost al
her money and wished a position
as governess. Mr.. Talbot's son falls
in love with Claire, and asks her to
marry him. She refused, as she al.
ways wanted to be near poor, kind
hearted Martha. Martha's husband
came home one day with very bao
news, and feeling most depressed
told Martha that the doctor told him
he had a spot on his lung. Sam
thought Martha would sympathize
with him, but all she said was: "a
spot is a spot, don't worry, Sam, you
have another good lung" Thinking
the country air would be, better for
him, Nj. Talbot made Sam superin-
tendent of a construction plant
that he had bought. Claire mar
ried Nj. Talbot's son and they all
lived happily ever after"
Mrs. Irwin Yarnall. accompanied
by Mrs. William Lesser, contributed
delightfully."- to the program with two
vocal solos, "Kashmtri Song and
It'll I Wake"
At the short business session.
which preceded the program, 1t was
decided to hold the third of a series
of card parties on March II, st.
Patrick's day, in the assembly room
of the Raritan Yacht Club. Tickets
will be out in a few days and may
be procured from any member of
the committee. Miss Eleanor Brog-
ger, chairman of the cafeteria, made
an appeal for more donations for
the MONDAY luncheons at the Y.
