stopping Daylight Saving

The national association Cf
"hicks" now proposes to make New
Jersey appear as ridiculous as they
made Connecticut.
In other words, the national or
,ganization of farmers says it intends
to carry into this State Its fight
against daylight saving. This appar-
emily means that the Changers hope
to stop the observance of daylight
saving time in municipalities under
the authority of local ordinances. A
large number of New Jersey cities
and towns has adopted such ordinan
ces each summer, thus outwitting
the rustics after the latter were sue
cessful in preventing the passage by
the Legislature of a general daylight
saving law.
Under the ordinance plan. COM
munities that desired to save day.
light were enabled to do so, and
those that did not were at liberty
to follow their W wishes in the
matter. However, this doesn't suit
the chicks" who are nov endeavor-
ing to force a dog-in-the-manger
policy on the State and prevent ur-
ban residents from enjoying the BEN
efits of daylight saving just because
the farmers don't want it, even in
localities other than their own.
Connecticut enacted such legisla-
ton and became more or less of a
laughing stock. 1t is doubtful If
New Jersey desires to add to the
gayety of nations in just that way.
We are getting enough silly laws
without placing such legislation on
our books. If we keep on, we may
have to have a new law every time
we want to put on a clean collar

Press Comment
Chean Milk


What do road-paving and milk
have to do with each other? Their
relation is sufficiently close to have
interested the United States bureau
Of public roads in a study of milk
distribution. The results of the sur
vey were recently disclosed at a
meeting Of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce.
Three points are emphasized In
the facts learned: When roads are
improved the cost of milk distribu-
ton Is lowered. Motor truck haul
ing of milk is increasing yearly. The
motor truck is supplying added
transportation facilities for all dairy
products.
II tuling milk over unimproved
roads costs a half-cent a gallon
more than does hauling it over i'm
proved ones. Milk, of course, is not
the only farm product thus affected
by good roads. But it is one of the
most essential OF farm products and
so makes a good basis for such esti--
mates of the value of easily travers-
able MISUNDERSTANDING Park Press.

MATAWAN SHOWS
WHAT MEANS

Matawan is erecting a handsome
new school building. 1t will cause
no surprise to learn that it Is the
work of John Noble Pierson 81 Son
of this city, the architects who have
designed so many high class school
buildings in this locality. Matawan
Is looking up these days. 1t has
constructed, or is having constructed
a beautiful lake transforming all
that unsightly marsh land into some
thing that will be a decided asset.
Now it is having q fine new school.
Not the least of the things for which
Matawan is noted is the fact that
it is the home of the congressman
from the third district of New Jer-
sey. Yes, Matawan is a pretty
place and it has good train service,
too. 1t is going to attract more and
more commuters as time goes on.
There is nothing that will draw the
people like progress.

I STATEN ISLAND

In considering the plan of New
York and its e%nvirons, much consid-
Grafton is being given to the proper
DEVELOPMENT OF the southern end
OF Staten Island. This includes :he
Tottenville section and all along the
south shore up to New Dorp. The
experts feel that with the compile
ton of the tunnel under the Mar
rows and a possible bridge across
stat Island sound from Totten-
VILE to Perth Amboy, there Is going
to be a decided boom in and around
T~ottenville, and steps ought to be
taken now to lay out the district
properly before extensively building
makes a systematic plan too expen-
slye to be carried put
While there are some roads and
streets on the southern end OF the
island. the territory is largely n
developed. BY making a careful
study of the situation under the
! euidance of experts, a comprehen-
sive plan could be drawn up which,
1. followed as the section builds
up. will make the island ideal in
every respect.
BY a comprehensive plan is meant
the laying out of streets and boule-
wards so as to take care of the traf-
fc of the future; this would also
include trunk sewers and water
mains together with rail transport
tation. This section would be zoned
so that property owners who desired
To establish a home would be as
sared that they would not be dis
turbed by industrial and commercial
DEVELOPMENT. The class of houses
would also be designated for certain
sections so that q man who might
want to erect y handsome one-fam-
ilv house surrounded with grounds
AA1
would not find later on a big apart
ment house stuck UP next to him d.
rectly on the building line.
Now is the time to make up these
matters for the lower end Of Staten
Island before the building boom sets
in. A few more years and 1t may be
too late. Let garages be stuck IN
here and there and everywhere,
with occasionally a small factory of
some sort erected, and much ter
ritory that would be extremely valu-
able for residential purposes will be
spoiled. This does not mean there
should be no garages or factories.
These all have their place, and the
comprehensive plan takes care of
them, but the plan sees to 1t that
they are kept in their place so as not
to interfere with residential develop
ment.
Staten Island has a great deal to
gain by such a study. The work

Such great publicity has bee.
given to adrenalin during the pa
two years that from all parts of gu

Many reports of it's wonder-work

70 a case was reported from Granu
Rapids, Mich, where a man forty
years of age was pronounced dead
as a result OF a 7500-volt electric
shock. A physician injected fifteen
drops Of adrenalin into his body. In
two hours he revived and, in spite OF
serious burns, recovered.
In the body itself, adrenalin i,
also a real worker. 1t seems to be
at the beck and call of the brain,
when the occasion demands. Its
secretion is discharged into the life
stream (circulation) and aids in
e~nergizing muscular action in a
number of ways.
Anger is N OF the causes for
secretion by the suprarenal gland.
There Is some reason for your ply
sician's advice to avoid anger and
discomfort on all occasions. 1t serves
to release adrenalin and increase
blood pressure. 1t is strong as a
stimulant and vitalizer, acting to
contract the arteries.
1t is claimed, but not really sub
stantiated, that this secretion will
actually start the dead heart of a
babe into action. 1t starts, but does
not continue very long.

DE O FOR LEADER

The understanding reached at a
conference between Governor Sill
ger and a number of prominent as
semblymen whereby Assenblyman
Fred w. DeVoe will be the minority
leader in the House during the next
session of the legislature brings an
other honor to Middlesex county.
That 1t can be merely an honor is
evident from the size of the min
ority in the next House. There is
little to be accomplished by the
Democrats with the odds so over
whelmingly against them, yet
though small in numbers 1t is pos
sib1e. under proper leadership, to
keep the majority from running
away with legislation. This is par
ttcularly true with a Democrat oc-
supplying the governors chair.
Coming from the home county OF
the governor, Mr.. DeVoe becomes
the logical spokesman for the gov
ernor on the floor OF the House.
and that is about all the leader OF
the minority can be under the cir
cumstances. Not only is Mr.. DeVoe
the logical spokesman for the COVER
nor, but his experience in the House
entities him to the position. He has
been a member of the legislature
long enough to learn all the little
tricks that go to make n successful
leader, and even though he hasn't
much to lead he can make the Re
publicans know that they haven't
got everything their own
AS Tar as Governor silzer is con-
cerned, he still has the confidence
Of the people. While some look upon
the last election as a reputation
for the governor because he went
on the stump and made a direct APP
neal for a Democratic legislature in
order that he might carry out his
program, yet the vote was more an
expression of distrust OF the Demo-
cratic party with men like Hague
and Nugent welding such influence
than 1t was a slap at the governor.
A Democratic majority in the legis-
lature depended largely on the cleo
ton of a. Democratic delegation
from Essex and that would mean
giving Nugent a foothold at Tren-
ton once more. The brand of poll
tics served up by the Democrats of
Essex and Hudson is repulsive to the
rest of the state, and the people
want none OF 1t.
Governor sllzer made out very
well last year with a Republican
legislature and If he sticks to the
same high standards this year he Is
not going to fail during the coming
session. His influence with the leg
islature will be strengthened by hav-
inc such a man as DeVoe for Demo-
cratic leader. DeVoe is the kind or
a. man who can work with the Re-
publicans where many others would
fail.

proper development of the water
front along the sound. Steamboats,,
coasting schooners, lighters, scows
and similar vessels could easily be
handled on the sound here, and even
ocean steamships could dock there
with proper facilities. Perhaps this
section, then, could be developed at
a much smaller cost than the south
shore along the river, especially II
the railroad could be connected up
with the city dock at Fayette street.
If this were found to be the case,
it would leave all the south shore
for park and recreational develop
ment. A wonderful playground with
municipal bathing beaches could be
maintained on the property the city
now owns. There is no question
about the advantage such a develop
ment would be to the city. It would
not only provide for the residents
of the city. but It would draw thou
sands of people hare from all the
surrounding inland towns and cities
during the summer months, and once
the people are attracted here they
are bound to spend money.
But this is decidedly a question
for the experts. Perth Amboy does
not want 10 make a mistake. Any
decision along .his line has got TO
be for all time. VIII the Staten ISL
and sound waterfront be adequate
far the future? Will IL be atssible
to use a portion of the river front
property, say that section next to
the railroad, for commercial pur-
poses, and devo'e tie rest of 1t for
parks and recreation? Or, will the
city profit most by developing the
river front commercially on a large
scale, utilizing all the space available
for docks and warehouses in an eff
fort to attract shipping Of the most
extensive variety?
These are questions that Perth
Amboy wants answered, and 1t wants
them answered right before any
large sums of money are spent. That
some kind of a development along
the river is about due is evident.
There is no one in Perth Amboy cap
able of determining what the nat
ure of this development should be.
The logical thing, then, is to spend
a few thousand dollars TO secure the
advice of men who have made a
study of such things, and who have
had wide experience in pog' devel-
opment.
The matter will be considered by
the aldermen at their comm ttee
session tonight, and judging from
the common sense view OF the situa-
ton taken by Alderrlan-at-Large
Calvin and others on the waterfront
inspection trip last SATURDAY, their
action will be favorable. There is
nothing that they can do that will
mean more for the future of the
city than to instruct the City Plan
Commission to proceed with a real
port survey, and appropriate the
money to pay the expenses.

THE DELUSION o
ENACTING LAWS

Nineteen thousand separate pieces
of legislation, bills, were introduced
in the last session of congress.
There'll probably be as many dur
ing the winter session. We have a
national delusion that all that's
needed to solve a problem is to pass
a law. And this delusion seems par
ticularly assertive in problems which
are beyond the reach of legislation,
and which are solvable only by eco
nomic or moral evolution; often
both.

As 1t Appears
FARMERS MARKET
ON THANKSGIVING DAY

IT appears that the ~so-called far
mers' market was in full operation
Yesterday. To be sure, Thursday is
regular market day, but yesterday
was a. holiday, and Thanksgiving
Day at that. What genuine farmer
would take such an occasion to car
nv goods to market? But, then,
probably farmers are not like they
used to be. A generation ago no
farmer would think of leaving MS
place on Thanksgiving Day. Rather,
all relatives who could possibly do SO
we're docking to the farm to observe
the annual feast of thanksgiving Tor
the bountiful harvest and other
blessings, 1t was the farmers day
at home and he entertained his chill
dren and his grandchildren with a
lavish hand. No doubt things are
different now, but we can't help
thinking that there were not very
many real, honest-to-goodness dlrt
farmers at the farmers market yes
terday. Hucksters and others, who
like to call themselves farmers were
on hand, no doubt, but the city
would have done we'll to have an
nounced that the market would be
closed on this holiday. The legiti-
mate merchant who pays rent n
taxes and who is an asset to the
city had his store closed yesterday
and 1t seems hardly fair that he
should have to go up against such
competition, yet it is doubtful II any
of those who went to the market
Yesterday are of the class Of people
who would deal at the local stores,
anyway, so the local merchant real
ly had nothing to fear. 1t was UNI
called for, though, to have the mar
ket open at all yesterday. We hate
to think that any real farmer has
so far forgotten the real meaning
of Thanksgiving as to desecrate that
day by carting produce to market
and doing business the same as on
any other day.

HIGH COST OF BEER
BEST PROHIBITION AGENT

A stein of beer cost over a billion
marks in Germany, and word comes
over the cables that the Germans are
losing their thirst. Saloons over
there are reported practically de-
serted. High price is the original
prohibition agent. You can tell just
how effective prohibition is in n
community, by the price being paid
for the stuff" Our country might
be a lot drier now If Uncle Sam had
approached prohibition by taxing
whisl1ey $40 a quart. Many who will
ingly pay a b%ootlegger that much
would balk If the government got
the money.

Bad Drugstore Whisky

Alas, weak heart seems to be the
National Ailment. In 81 states, doc
tors write over IL million whisky
prescriptions a year. Nearly a third
of them were in one state-New

There are roughly $50, 900 physl-
clans in our country. Only one in
every three exercises his privilege
of prescribing liquor.
When the investigators in Wash
ington have some loose time they
might turn their attention to the
frightfully bad grades of whisky"
sold in prescription in some of the
drug stores. Grain alcohol, colored

FOREIGN SCHOOL PUPILS
 ARE GIVEN NEW OATH

SACRAMENTO, March 13-Owing to the cosmopolitan nature of it's pu- pills, children of parents who came here from Japan, Mexico, China, Italy and many other climes, the Lincoln public school of Sacramento has adopted a pledge of allegiance that differs somewhat from the pledge given by children who attend schools of strictly American or American born children.
 "I pledge allegiance to the Ameri can flag and to the United States the revised pledge reads, instead of the customary pledge, "I pledge al legiance to my flag and to my coun try"
 The revised principle in the teach ing of Americanism was substituted for the original by Miss Nellie Hopley principal of the school.
