cheers. No one thinks the runners arc cuckoo o oFD
exertng. ,;e.
Other men over-exert, contesting to see which can hit
the heaviest weights or bend the thickest iron bar over the
chest. Crazy? It's never suggested.
But when the girls come forth to demonstrate endurance
YOU hear people on all sides grunting and shifting. Envious'
perhaps. But more striking is the demonstratlon 'ha' "no'
sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander.
This bit of psychology is evident all through lie IN us d
rious ramifcations. Man seems entitled to make almost any
kind of a jackass of himself, without question. Woman, now
ever, is quickly ridiculed.
Theses lust as much sense in endurance dancing as
there is in long.distance running, weight lifting, auto racing
or even baseball, for the matter. -
Doctors, interested about the women dancers wearing
OUT partner after partner, disagree as to whether II moiT
Gates that woman has more endurance than man. however,
she has. When a man and his wife get into a run Oh oao

Often, of course, this is because she doesnt reallze as .aors

Not one man in ten could endure the anguish or chllooirth

in 1874 had a dancing craze that wound up Win people
dancing in the streets until they fell screaming and foamlng
at the mouth.
An italian doctor decided that the dancing disease was
due to the bite Of the tarantula, large spider. On the theory
of setting a fire to stop an advancing forest fire, he invented
a dance which he prescribed to his patients-the taranteiia
dance. Confdentially, we believe that "a hours OF endur-

CHANCE TO BE pAcEMAKER ONCE MORE

Camden is now working under the commission form of govern.
pent. This means that responsibility rests with five men, and
the work is SO divided that each one Of these five men is directly
responsible for certain things. One is know as the director of pub
lie affairs and receives the title of mayor; another is director Of
finance; another director of parks and public property; another
director of public safety, and another director of public works.
They all work together and hold frequent meetings to discuss and
plan for the city as a whole, but each man sees 10 it that his own
department is all that it should be and the public knows who to
blame if things are not as they should be. Best of all, Camden has
shaken off the old city charter which has been such a handicap to
that fast growing municipality.
Here in Perth Amboy we still elect to muddle along under the
antiquated charter adopted in 1871, and we wonder why we are not
keeping pace with other cities. With a tax rate the highest in its
history, with special legislation enacted to enable it to exceed the
legal debt limit and with all improvements at a sandstll, surely
it is time for the people to arouse themselves and take more of an
interest in public affairs here. Stop talking and complaining, and
act. Camden has shown how it can be done. But Perth Amboy
can GO Camden one better. This city can be the pacemaker as
far as New Jersey is concerned by adopting the city manager plan
1t would put real business in the local government in a way that
nothing else could do. Then, indeed, would Perth Amboy become
a real pacemaker once more.

LIBRARY FOR R

Perth Amboy's thriving neighbor Fords is branching ont. A
movement has been started there to establish a library. The Wom-
ans Club has started the agitation, just as womens clubs every
where are working for civic betterment in all municipalities where
hey are organized. A library at Fords would be a decided feature
and the women should receive every encouragement in their efforts
1t was only a few years ago that Fords was a mere cross roads
with only a blacksmith shop and a hotel. The trolley was first to
open that section, and people began to move out there to live
Later the bus lines were established and the place has grown with
leaps and bounds. Fords is now one of the most populous sections
Of Woodbridge township. 1t is still growing rapidly with the
promise of a great future.
One of the essentials of any progressive community these days
IS a public library. This affords entertainment, knowledge and
culture. The determination of the women of Fords to have a library
speaks highly for the pride they take in their community. When
these women set out to accomplish something there is no doubt
about their success. The Fords library is bound to be a reality.
With the right kind of cooperation it viii come very quickly.

ADEQUATE BUS SERVICE

With the failure of the trolley companies to keep abreast
With The growth of this section, buses have become an important
means Of transportation. They are what might be called a neces-
sary evil. Thousands Of people now depend on the buses in getting
10 and from their work and to the business section Of the city.
Ii ia ur TO the authorities to see that adequate accommodations
are provided.
The complaint of the people in the vicinity OF New Bruins
wick Avenue near the city line was justified and the aldermen did
thc only thing consistent with their desire to serve the public when
they consented to having more buses added to that line. Just why
sy one of the aldermen should ask for a delay is not clear on
The surface. The owner of the bus line holding a permit to operate
more buses was willing to start as soon as the necessary permission
was given. Adequate bus service must be maintained, but some
way should be found to prevent them from congesting traffic.

WORK FOR EVERYBODY

With the demand for workers greater than the supply, there is
10 excuse for loafing these days. The order issued by Chief Ton
eesen to put an end to the street loungng ought to have a good
Effect. If the men seen standing around the street corners and in
rsont Of pool rooms will not go to work voluntarily. the only thing
r. do is to send them to the workhouse and compel them to work.
But it is essential that those who are sent to the workhouse
are actually given something to do. In theory they are supposed
to be employed at hard labor. 1t is too often the case, however,
that Trey spend a great deal of their time playing cards and other
wise amusing themselves. Let the %workhouse live up to its name
and there will be not so much Indifference about being sent there
There are broad fields to be cultivated, and this is the busiest time
al The year for that sort Of occupation. 1t is good, healthy en-
ployment, too.

Stories That Tax Credulity
1t is not strange that DR.. Griggs
depended on pictures to prove his
veracity, considering that his &C.
count included stories of how wood
might be lighted by poking it into
water, of the bubbling up from the
earth's depths of a lake Of mean
descent sand, OF the mystery of two
cubic miles of missing rock, and of
a crater into which al thel buildings
of six New Yorks might be plunged.
Even when a process or scene Is
not so remarkable that it defies de-
scription, pictures add immeasurably
to the ~vividness of the readers un-
Outstanding. Every well informed
person must have a general UNDER
standing of how the various articles
of wild human s ire produced
and whence they come. The silk,
cotton, linen and other textiles we
wear, and the meat. FISH, bread, veg
etables, and spices we eat, have their
individual stories which can be told
more effectively for the layman If
they are illustrated with good pic
lures.
China, Spain, and the Holy Land
are almost denuded of trees because
of the improvidence Of the people,
while great forests predominant in
similar settings in other parts OF
the world. Holland Is we'll known
for its meadows, crisscrossed by ca
nails and with windmills outlined
on the horizon, while Switzerland
is noted for its high mountains and
deep valleys. These are examples
of physical characteristics of the
different divisions of the earth, and
to give one an adequate idea of each
country a certain number OF such
scenic pictures must be published
Every one designed TO show scenery
however, is made more interesting
and attractive by the inclusion OF
a human figure.
