WHERE AMERICA FAILS

Jules Jusserand was the guest of honor at a luncheon III New
York on Saturday in celebration of his twenty years of contin.
nous service as French ambassador at Washington. This $ a rath-
j. unusual record, especially when the records of our own am.
bassadors to foreign countries are considered. Ambassador JUS
serand has been in this country during the administrations OF four
Presidents, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson and Harding. He has seen this
country's population increase by ~onefourth. Because of his long
experience here and his thorough understanding Of American
affairs he is able to give France the very best of service.
And it is France that Ambassador Jusserand serves, not any
particular government or administration that may be in power in
France. America, SO far as we know, is the only country that
changes its whole diplomatic corps every time there is a change
OF administration. In other words, the ambassadors from the
United States represent the administration whereas the ambassa-
doris from other countries represent the nation. Governments
may come and governments may go in European countries, but
the foreign representatives remain at their posts serving the ma
lion. The result is, the ambassadors from other countries are men
Of wide experience and expert training, whereas the ambassa'
doris sent out from the United States are absolutely green. when
they 60, and after serving from four to eight years by which time
they have begun to learn the ropes, they are recalled and other
men utterly lacking in experience, are sent to take their places
And yet we wonder why the diplomats of the Old World are so
much more skilled in international affairs than the Americans are.

BApTIsTs START NEW BUILDING

We congratulate the Baptist church upon the occasion Of
breaking ground for their new church building to be erected at
Market and High streets facing City Hall Park. After a great
many years on Fayette street, the church bought the lot at Madi
son avenue and Market street with the idea of erecting a new
church there. A temporary structure was put up to serve until the
new building was completed.
AS it became apparent that Madison avenue was soon to be-
come a business street and as the corner bought for the church
was becoming more and more valuable for commercial purposes, it
vas decided to choose a more suitable and quieter neighborhood.
The site at City Hall Park was selected. The new church will be a
decided addition to the public buildings of this city. 1t speaks
well for the congregation that it is able to undertake such an
enterprise at this time.
The Baptist church is one of the oldest religious organiza-
lions in the city. 1t has played an important part in the upbuild.
ing Of the community. With a handsome new home SO beautifully
located it is bound to flourish as never before. 1t is another in-
stance Of the faith that the people Of this city have in the future
Of Perth Amhoy.

CHANCE TO TALK PERTH AMBoY

Another opportunity is offered to put Perth Amboy on the
map. The yoney ball team of the Y. M. c. A. having defeated
everything in this section, is out after international honors. 1t is
proposed to send the local boys to Chicago some time in May
TO compete in the international tournament there.
To have a team entered in this tournament will mean a lot
for Perth Amboy. 1t will carry the name Of the city out into the
Middle West and show the world that we are able to compete
with the best of them. As the largest cities in the United States
and Canada will be represented Perth Amboy will be in fast
company, but that will not be unusual for the local boys as they
have already been up against some of the best players in the East.
Here is an opportunity to talk Perth Amboy. Every form
of publicity helps. If the voley ball team goes to Chicago it will
be through the generosity of a number of public spirited citizens
who contribute money to meet the expenses of the trip. What
these men do for the volley ball team they are doing for Perth
Amboy. Everybody interested in boosting Perth Amboy ought
to be willing to contribute something toward the expenses of this
trip, although no public appeal is being made. 1t means so much
for Perth Amboy, however, that the event is worthy of special
consideration.

THE REFEREE

Tuning
Rodger Dolan now has $500 in
vested in his radio. He keeps add
ing to it, though the outfit already
looks like the inside of an electrical
goods shop.
Dolan writes: "In getting the
concerts fine. I get them all-and
usually all at the same time, piled
on top of each other"
is unable to develop a tuning
sense" Dolan will continue with his
radio. He's wise. Radio Is the toy

keeping mature people young in

Cancer
Cancer is especially likely to at
tack constitutionally strong and
healthy people, according to a popu-
lar notion. And you find the ann
idea in many medical books of
standing.
The truth is this: Cancer and
tuberculosis tend to attack persons
who are constitutionally weak. So
announces DR.. Raymond Pearl of
Johns Hopkins, after studying the
life histories of 100000 residents of
Baltimore.
Live sensibly. keep the body's gem
eral health good by plenty of fresh
air, exercise, pure food, sleep and
healthful thinking. Then almost any
disease will have a hard time get
ting you. Better than guarding
against individual diseases.
Sailors
When the jury at Versailles got
through with Germany. man.
thought that Germany was gone
forever from the leading mercantile
marine nations.
However, Germany ranked second
only to Great Britain last year in
shipbuilding. She's rapidly replac-
ing what she had to surrender. Ton
| mage of her mercantile marine now
is two-fifths as big as when the war
started.
Help
Since 1914 America has loaned
the rest of the world Fl billion dol
lars, or about 5000 for each of us.
Since the Armistice we have been
handing out a billion a year. The
tide of loans is rising again.
Foreign national governments,
provinces, cities and corporations
have shared these loans. And still
they call us tight-fisted. That's
nearly always the wall of the bor-
rover. What do they want-the
whole United States?
Fires
We have an average of $500 for
est fires a year, or about 90 a day,
in the United States. Uncle Sam,
announcing this, also says that
more than seven million acres of
forests go up in smoke each year.
You cannot impress too indelibly,
on the minds of YOU children, that
fire is the most dangerous force used
by
Nearly all fires, excepting ones
started by lightning or spontaneous
combustion, are due to carelessness
somewhere along the line.
Supplies
A soldier at the battlefront re-
quires 80 pounds of food and allied
supplies a day, army experts figure.
For a million men, 80 million pounds
of food and stores daily. This en-
phasizes how transportation is need
ed wherever men congregate in large
numbers.
PeacetiIne included. For instance,
the railroads % 10000 pounds of
paid freight a ear for each of us,
or about ITO pounds a day. In addi-
ton are deliveries by wagon and mo-
tor truck. Conservativ guess would
be that 1t requires the movement of
zoo pounds of food, coal, building
materials. etc, each day for each OF
us, to keep our civilization moving.

1t may surprise you to learn that farmers are becoming az

Nearly a million and a quarter farms (about one OUT OF

In the above pen-picture, Artist Satterield shows a farm
1essness. Also it is symbolic Of our iv~ilization-conquest
of the unknown that lies ahead, and the constant desire to
better self and family.
The restlessness that makes us move frequently IS not al
together due to dissatisfaction with what we have now.
some of it is inherited from nomadic ancestors who hit the
trail over the hills, across the plains and through the jungle
when spring stirred in their blood.
We read the other day of a French family that has been
farming the same patch of land, generation after generation,
for more than 1000 years. That couldn't happen in America
not yet. Ours is a young country, not ready to settle down.
The moving spirit dominates us. Why, we're not yet GER
tain what the ten largest cities OF America will be IN another
hundred years.
Restlessness, widely condemned, keeps our viewpoint fresh
and spurs us on to new discoveries and general progress.

WORDS MEANINGS
EXPAND BY STUDY
Simplest Phrase Often Contains
Great Beauties Of Sentiment

We sometimes speak Of a kind"
person, things of the same kind. and
again Of "mah kind; but do we ever
reflect that the three words come
from the same root? That wonderful
genius, Shakespeare, meant more
than a mere play on words, when he
put in Hamlet's mouth-who was
alluding to his fathers brother-"A
little more than kin, and less than
kind"
1t is very interesting to study
words. "A dictionary is not dull
and .lifeless collection Of words-but
a living and breathing record OF the
peoples who can speak them. For
this reason there can be no more VAL
liable book at ones elbow. People
who study a dictionary become SUI
pericr to those who are ignorant of
it's use They should have a. good

the maintenance OF business, is not
are mentioned by the Manufacturers

the maintenance OF business, Is not
sustained by the facts, some of which
are mentioned by the Manufacturers
Record.
For instance it says: Under the
advancing prices of the last twelve
months, brought about largely by
change of policy in Federal Reserve
anagement and in freer banking
credit, railroads are now burdcned
with more traffic than they can carry
and as against 100000 idle feiSht cars
there is a shortage of nearly 100000.
Stimulated by this wonderful change
in their situation the railroads have
been ordering more cars and loco
motives than for the last six or
seven years. The iron and steel
works OF the country are running at
IS to 80 per cent capacity and this
would be even greater but for the in
ability to secure transportation.
Farmers are once more beginning to
breathe a little freely"
Assuming such to be the conditions
it would seem unnecessary and un-
wise for the Government to initiate
them. The public having come to
recognize the need Of construction
and haying entered upon it even un-
der the prices prevailing and likely
TO prevail, with the demand for labor
exceeding the supply in some work,
ment to disturb this situation. The
Hoover plan to postpone the uncs-
sential is right.
