most breathlessly. Did you find

Ainley interpreted the exclamation
in his own way, but looking at the
girl was surprised by a look which
had come into her face. Her listless-
ness had fallen from her. There was
a look of absorption about her which
puzzled him, and he wondered What
she was thinking of. He did not
know what her captor had revealed
to her, and so never dreamed the
truth, which was that Helen was
thinking that for the second time he
had fallen from the truth in his
narrative.

w GOVERNORS

It Is not surprising that Governor
silzer has decliped the invitation of
Governor Pinchot, OF Pennsylvania,
to attend in person another confer
ence regarding the coal situation.
The governor of New Jersey told
the governor Of Pennsylvania some
pretty plain facts at the first con-
ference held, and as the governor
of New Jersey does not agree with
what the governor of Pennsylvania
proposes to do to remedy the situa-
ton it is really a waste of time for
him to consider the matter further.
Governor Pinchot's scheme is to
have all the anthracite using STATES
draw up some kind of a treaty or
agreement whereby they can all
work in harmony to reduce coal
prices. The constitution forbids
treaties between states without the
sanction Of congress, and, while this
obstacle may be gotten around in
various ways, it will. as Governor
silzer claims. take a long time TO
accomplish anything worth while.
In the meantime, the people are
being gouged by the coal barons
through the exhorbitant prices being
charged.
As a matter OF fact, Governor Sill
ger presents the NEST feasible plan
for solving the coal problem that
has yet been advanced. He would
first have Pennsylvania cIsa- her
own skirts by appropriate legisla-
ton regarding the mining of coal
within her borders, and by taking off
the tax that she has imposed on
every ton taken out of the earth.
Coal that is transported to other
states Governcr Silzer would place
under tho jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission with
more power to control it than the
commission now has; then he woull
have each state enact its own legis-
lation regarding the handling of, coal
within its own borders. Here. truly.
is something that could be attempted
at once with some chance of giving
the people almost immediate relief.
But 1t is hardly to be expected
that Governor Pinchot Will adopt
Governor Silzer's plan because then
1t would be the governor OF New
Jersey who would be solving the ceal
problem, and to him would go the
credit instead Of to the governor of
Pennsylvania. That would lever do
at all. So Governor Pinchot will
continue to hold his conferences and
it IS probable hat Governor Silzer
will have a o. y. cry T." present. The
chances. however, OF ever ccom
plishing very much along the lines
now being followed by the governor
of Pennsylvania are very remote.

In fact, this is what is now hap
pening. Dispatches from London
say that Premier Baldwin has
yielded to the wishes of his party
and has agreed to continue with the
understanding that the Liberal lead
ers will offer no opposition to the
government as long as controversial
questions are avoided. Just how
long these controversial questions
can be avoided remains to be seen.
The feeling between the Union!sts
and the Liberals is bitter and 1t Is
not likely that any truce they may
Patch UP will las. very long.
It seems to be a foregohe con-
ciusion that another general cleo
don is due in Great Britain very
soon. With no responsible party in
control of parliament 1t is going to
be extremely difficult to carry on
government affairs. The premier
simply holds office from day to day
under such circumstances, not know
lag what moment he will be voted
down. Public affairs, especially
with Great Britain in the condition
that she is, cannot be successfully
administered with such uncertainty.
Judging from the steady growth of
the Labor party, 1t would seem to
be only a question of time when
labor Will control the British gov
eminent. In the meantime, Premier
Baldwin will hold on as long as he
can, his government depending on
the will of the Liberals who hest
tate to see the Laborites gain control.

fish Perth Amboy's reputation. and
is worthy of all the assistance the
aldermen can give 1t. 1t is natural
that as It's sphere al usefulness
broadens It should require more
financial support. Money put in the
city hospital is a permanent invest
ment that brings its own dividends.
At the very foundation of all
municipal development, however.
lies the city plan. Perth Amboy has
a City Plan Commission made up
of the highest type of men. They
are all busy men, but they gladly
live a great deal of their time to
working out an ideal for the city
that al so much to its future
prosperity. That the commission has
made good is plain to everyone who
has given any consideration to the
work already accomplished. The
sewer system, the water mains, the
street transportation, parks, water
front development, and all the other
features that go to make UP a city
must be carefully planned and laid
out in advance. It is only by thus
looking into the future and visual
izing the greater city that we can
grow systematically and intelligently.
BY all means the City Plan Commits
sion ought to have additional funds
next year IN order that It may carry
on its excellent work for the up
building of Perth Amboy.
But what IS the answer?
With a tax rate already high, to
increase city expenditures will mean
an additional burden on the tax
payers. No doubt more money ran
be secured by adjusting some of the
assessments on properties that have
been increased so enormously in
value. But better still, certain econ
omies can be brought about in some
departments, doubtless, and the
moaey thus saved can be used to
provide these other branches of the
city government that have been
stinted so long. BY pairing down
Lere and there on some Of the things
( ut have received so much atten-
ton in the past perhaps the alder
men can find a way to take care of
these city departments that have
become stinted through the lack of
sufficient financial nourishment.

FOOD POISONING
BY n. Il. BELL
Hotel Section, National Safety
Council

When we consider the quantities
Of foods consumed and the number
OF times these foods are handled in
preparation, food poisoning is indeed
rare. But it is not too rare to be
ignored.
The general tendency is to classify
all cases of food poisoning as "pto-
maine poisoning, although this
convenient, meaningless term has
been discarded by doctors in rela-
ton to general food poisoning.
The old superstition that food is
contaminated by solder or tin has
been discredited. In the present
day. cans are so carefully made and
the composition of the metal is
such that the danger of metallic
poisoning from timed foods is prac-
tically eliminated. Scientists place
the blame for food poisoning on
several varieties of bacilli that fall
In two main groups. These are the
paratyphoid -enteritis and the botu-
linus groups, the former being the
more common offender

BRITISH POLITICAL CHAOS

One cannot help but admire the
courage of Premier Baldwin in his
decision to remain in control of he
government of Great Britain and
face the new parliament which will
meet next month. There are three
big political parties in England, the
.Unionists or Conservatives. the Lib
erals, and the Labor party The
latter has grown up in recent years.
Before the Labor party entered the
field the elections were fought out
between the Unionists and the
Liberals.
During the war Great Britain had
what is called a coalition govern
ment, that is, a cabinet made up rep
resentatives of all parties. This was
continued until the overthrow of
Lloyd George, which was brought
about by the Unionists or Consery-
atives. A general Gle ION followed.
and owing to the spill. in the Liberal
party. the che faction headed by
LLOYD George and the other by Her
bert Asauith, the Liberals were
badly beaten, the Conservatives
e!ectins a majority while the Labor
ties had the second largest number
in parliament, with the Liberals
third.
In the recent election, the two
Liberal factions put up a uni-ed
front, Lloyd George md Asqnlth
having settled their differences, but
they were unable to make many
gains. At the same time, the Union
lists lost many seats, but many of
them were picked by the Labor
party. The outcome was that no
one party secured a majority of
the whole parliament. The Liberals
and Laborites, by voting together,
can overthrow the present Unionist
government under the leadership of
Premier Baldwin any time they
choose. As there are some things
in common between the Liberals and
Laborites, there was a feeling that
such a combination would be made
for the sake of ousting the Baldwin
government. It was because OF his
feeling that it was thought Premier
baldwin would resign forthwith
without waiting for parliament to
convene.
But should he resign precedent
would demand that the leader of the
Labor party. J. Ramsay Macdonald,
be asked by the king to form a
cabinet and organize a government,
because the Labor party has the Sec
ond largest number OF members in
the House of Commons, and Is the
recognized minority. But a Labor
government would be something en-
tirely new in British politics. 1t is
a question whether the country is
quite ready for It or not. Even
some of the Labor leaders declare
hat they are not prepared to take
the relns of government yet. but
win be prepared when the time
comes, they say.
Fearing much radical legislation,
and not knowing what the result
would be, there Is eason to believe
that the majority Of Britons, includ-
ing the Unionists and Liberals, do
not want a Labor government, and
ms much as the Unionists and Lib
erals hate each other, when it comes
to Labor as the only alternative they
are likely to set aside their own
differences for the time being to
keep Labor out.

PERTH AMBOY IN HISTORY
BY Fl. e. PICKERsGML
THOMAS BARLOW
BY FL. e. -PICKERsGILI

Z almost always a n horse chaise in
summer and a sleigh in winter, there
was a time, in 1852, when his physi-
cia~ advised him that horseback
riding would improve his physical
condition. In the papers of Lord
Stirling, treasured by the New York
Historical Society, there is a letter
from John Harris. dated at Perth
Amboy on April II, in which his
lordship is informed as follows:
"Mr. Barlow yesterday was saying
to me We Doctors tells him he must
wride,. so mes going to keep a Horse,
and he also signihed to me his want
ing his Stable and Pasture. | made
bould with yr Lordships submition
to offer him one of yr little Bays
till he can suite himself"
AS Stirling was surveyor general
and Mr.. Barlow associated with him
in the work of the p~roprietors' office,
it is easily seen why he applied to
Harris for a mount until he could
be suited"
Mr.. Barlow lived at Market Square
during the best days of old Amboy,
although there must have been
drawbacks to the location even in
his day. A public building stood
where the City Hall now is. pro5a-
bly, a part of what is there today.
There were homes scattered o
to the north, south and east of his
homestead, but none near enough to
afford any opportunity for trouble.
In the Park as we call it, Square 1t
was then, there stood the old mar
ket, the stocks and, perhaps, the
pillory. During his last years he
the market was boarded up and fill
ed with troops, and sympathetic as
he was with the cause of the colon
lists, thai could not have added to
the harm of residence on the
Square. Occasionally people living
nearby are annoyed now by the
howls of some poor maniac confined
In the lookup, but in those days the
commotion in a quiet little place.
such as Amboy was, when some pub
lie nuisance or petty offender was
confined In the stocks may easily be
imagined. This old instrument of
punishment stood there until 1927,
when it was taken away. Even then
it had not been used for so long that
no one could remember the last of
it's victims.
Difficult as it Is to tell mach OF
Thomas Barlow, II may neNeflnelesS
be recorded that through William
Dunlap he left his impression upon
the world. As the work of many a
mother is given to the world through
the accomplishments of a son, so
this quiet, reserved old man who
lived a life Of marked evasion of the
sunlight of notoriety or ever public
ity, will live forever as the guide and
mentor of the boy Dunlap. Without
those years spent in the old house
and it's gardens, without those rides
in the old chaise, with their number
less hours of Renaissance, narrative
and instruction. there might easily
