MISSES WARD AND ZIEGLER,
OF Nashville.

Allow me to present Miss Mabel
Ward and Miss Arlene Ziegler, late of
South Dakota and Mississippi. Won't
you have a seat in the Satsuma Tea
Room at Nashville, Tenn, of which
these two young women are the OWL
ers?
Teaching is soul-wearing profess
sion-even the communication of home
economies and such things wearies the
spirit. In 1918 Miss Mabel and Miss
Arlene wrote out their designations up
there in South Dakota and set forth
on touring expedition-"in search
of freedom and fresh air." Miss Ward
narrates. In their brains was dawn
ing the thought that possibly live
lihood could be made in some activity
that would bring them surcease from
pedagogic ills. Just n glimmer of n
tea room danced ahead of them as
they turned the nose of their roadster
toward Lake Michigan.
1T lasted two months :" they
will tell you: "camped out at night
stored up health and ell
ergy."
Up through the lake region they
rambled, through Minnesota and Wis
consin, proceeding without destina-
ton, yet with the tea room glimmer
dancing elusiyely ahead. And then
they dropped down into smoke-hooded
Chicago, where the offer of a part
time position at Peabody College, in
Nashville, was found awaiting Miss
Mabel. At Peabody she had taught
some years before, during the sum
mer.
Nor did the tea room fantasy fade
out at this rather unexpected culmina-
ton of their tour. Knowing Nash
vile. Miss Ward also knew that
Nashville needed a tea room. Prompt
~ she wired her acceptance.
In Chicago they bought six tea
room tables and ordered Nashville
shipping tags attached. Then theS
turned the roadster toward Tenne.
seee, and thus ends the automotive
part of this adventure.
Arriving in Nashville they had some
difficulty in finding a tea room loca-
ton, but finally secured n good one
next to the leading hotel. All the dec
Grating they did themselveS-and the
painting of the chairs, tables ct cetera.
Within two weeks the place was
ready-with a minimum of equip
ment, to be sure, but altogether pleas
ing. They had bought an excellent
quality of English china and Me eS-
sential utensils, and n gas stove
that was about all, except the furni-
ture. The initial investment, includ-
ing two months rent paid in advance,
was less than a Thousand dollars. Par:
of this capital they borrowed on life
insurance and part on liberty bonds.
Miss Mabel pursued her teaching al
night for the first six months, to help
keep the kettle steaming. Business
hummed steadily from the first. Here
is what they say about their Ro-
nance:
1--WE now have q very complete
equipment, the best that money can
buy-all paid for as the business grew
and needed IL. We attribute our
growth first of all to good food, variety

USE THE VACANT LOTS

People who own vacant lots in this city find the value OF
those lots increasing from year to year without the owners turn
ing a hand to make the value greater. This increase in value is
xkhat the economists call the unearned increment. Never mind
what it is called, the fact is that the property owner profits every
year through the progress and development of the city as a whole.
10 If some person was, every year, helping you increase your
wealth without you doing a thing in return, you would probably
feel under a certain obligation to that person; you would, at
Hast, be glad to do anything you could, within reason, to show
him that you appreciated what he was doing for you.
~ Why should not the same sense of gratitude apply toward
the city? If a lot that was worth $4,000 a few years ago is worth
$4,000 today, the owners wealth has been increased $4,000. As
owner can do in return for this increased wealth that he does moth
ing to earn is to permit his land to be used as a playground for
the children Of the neighborhood.
Something has got to be done to get the children off the
streets. Any land that is not being used for any purpose what
ever, especially if It is in a thickly populated section of the city,
ought to be made a playground for the children of that neigh
borhood, and the owner of the land ought to grant permission
for it to be so used without charge, in return for the increase in
value that the city is constantly adding to the property.
The least the city could do would be to buy a few swings
for these vacant lots, a few loads of sand, and other inexpensive
equipment for the children to use in their play. Why should any
vacant lot remain unused in these days when a safe place for
the children to play is so essential, and especially when the value
Of the lot is increased every year because of the development of
the city all around the lot? Neighborhood Fairgrounds are just
as essential these days as paved streets, in fact, the two ought toI
~ together. Give the boys and girls a chance.

THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT FIGHT

1t was not a very forceful address that President Harding
made at st. Louis Thursday night in behalf of the International
court. He was strong enough in expressing the need of such an
institution; he made it clear that he was in favor of it, but when
It came to leading the fight to make America a member of it, he
failed miserably.
The President stood by his first declaration that America should
Join the court. II neither advance nor retreat from the posi-
ton which 1 assumed in my recent message to the senate, " he
declared. Ny sole purpose tonight has been to amplify the con-
structive suggestion which, at what appeared to be a proper time,
placed before the country for consideration and judgment. Broad
ly, and yet 1 trust with sufficient particularly, 1 have indicated
ways and means for realization of our common aspiration"
Then the President proceeded to tell the opponents of the
court that he is not going to fight them. He is willing TO let
them have their way. He merely stated his position, and having
done that he will do nothing more. Further than that l shall not
CO." he says. 81 shall not attempt to coerce the senate of the
United States. I shall make no demand upon the people. 1 shall
not try to impose my will upon any body or anybody. I shall
embark on no crusade
In other words, the President surrenders to Senators Lodge
Watson, Moses and the others who have declared that the United
States shall not join the court of international peace. All they
have to do is to stand pat and they win. President Hardings
opinion is not worth much if he is not going to use his great
influence to have it carried out.

$4,000 VICTIMS DEAD

Take a vacation, no matter how hard it may be to lind
time for one, this summer. Change is absolutely necessary
TO rest the nerve centers. And the city person should make
it a point to take his vacation in the country while the farmer
md those who spend their lives on farms or IN small towns
should come to the city and enjoy city life For a short Tune.
This excellent advice comes from Health Commissioner
Mahoney of Boston.
Most of us are suffering, in varying degrees, from
NERVES" a malady created by the hustle and rush OF clVllz&.
tion-and it is increasing in frequency and intensity as we
become more "civilized," whatever that means.
We Of the cities are keyed up highly. We work under great
nervous pressure, speeded up to the last ounce Of energy. And
we get the clock wound so tightly that we remain keyed up
when away from work. :
We rush about the streets as if going to a fire. I
We gulp our meals.
We sit down at home after dinner and Immediately become
restless-begin drumming our fingers, wanting to start
something"
Maybe we go to a theatre or movie. Impatient to get past
the people in line ahead of us. So restless that we can t keep
our seats until the final curtain drops or the picture ENDS.
That's why musical shows come to an abrupt ending. Iney
have to. No one would be left in the house II the show enoed
peacefully and artistically.
All this is "nerves." Its imprint is on our strained faces,
in our keyed-up walking or auto driving, in our general I'M
patience.
When a person has a nervous breakdown, the first thing
the physician recommends is "a change" The best kind
of a change is a complete one. So Mahoney is right. The city
man should vacation in the country. The farmer and small.
town resident should vacation in the city.
Contrast is a nerve restorative. 1t is informative, Droadens
our vision, restores our balance, gives us the proper perspec-
tive. What does you most good on a vacation is the 'change,
rather than the air or rest or recreation. And, the more COM
plete the change, the more recuperatlye.
The brain worker, for the same reason, will do best by
spending his holidays where he'll have physical labor to do
preferably camping chores. And the man who works with
his muscles can get the greatest vocational benefits by giving
his muscles a rest and exercising his brain, reading, thinking.
A good rule, is M~ahoney's, and it can be applied in every
day life as well as during vacations. By complete 'tchange'-
doing the opposite to your routine-you can get at least an
hours vacation every day.

OF DAIRY

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
May I ask through your paper ii
something annot be done regard
ing this Nuisance we have here on
High street, i. e. Reder Bros. dairy.
From early morning, e a. NO. until
1t is time to rise, a continual throw
ing of milk cans. roaring engines,
some using cut outs. men yelling at
each other or fighting with the driy-
ers, 1t is distracting. All night an
engine is running full blast but nc
one pays any attention. Police pass
by, but nothing said. Is there any
wonder the people leave here to set
tie elsewhere? Everything goes, nc
one seems to care, there does not
seem to be any one in authority who
does care. This condition of affairs
would not be tolerated for a day in
any other place and it is high time
the neighbors got together and seen
thai justice is done. How can those
who are compelled to earn their liv-
ing be in condition without proper
rest? How a you expect us to
boost Amboy under such conditions ?
The men in charge of the place are
resting quietly in some other street
so what do they care if we are kent
awake all night. There Is a Law
against such disturbances and we
are going to see that it Is enforced.
Can you not help us through your
valuable paper.
Very truly yours,

does the owner lose the interest
called for on the last coupon?-R.
NJ. A.
A. The Treasury Der artment says
that interest ceases on Victory bonds
on date on which they ares called.
Therefore those bonds which wee

flies off cows?-D. j.. NJ.
A. Many mixtures particularly of
an oily nature have some value as
repellants, but in preparing these
care should be taken that they are
not too strong. particularly when
the animal is exposed to the hot
sun. as they are likely to aus oveI-
heating and often produce shedding
of the hair. A mixture of fish oil, /
gallon; oil of pine tar. 2 co.; oil CT
pennyroyal. 2 o.: and kerosene one
half pint has been found to be ef-
fective in keeping flies off live stock
when applied lightly and thoroughly
to the portions of the animal that

Problem OF Tax-Exempt Bonds

IA
The argument may be made that
investment in tax free securities is
responsible for the reduced showing.
The tax-exempt Federal, State or
municipal bond is a sore spot in
American economics and it is I'M
deniably true that much wealth is
hiding from the income-tax collec-
tor behind the skirts of these tax
free securities, but a fair analysis
can not hold these bonds responsible
Tor any large extent of the decline
in these various income classes, ex-
cept the multi-millionaires. Per-
sons with incomes varying from
$1,000 a year and up to $4,000 or
$4,000 do not, as a rule, draw their
incomes from tax-exempt securities.
They are working and professional
people. Their incomes declined,
along with those of the rich people,
so the inference is fair and reason
able that the period of reduced in
come has fallen upon the whole bulk
Of the tax-paying public.
How long this tendency will last
is problematical. Perhaps next years
figures will show a reversal. More
likely, 1922 will show even further
reductions, but when the statistics
come out for 1923 there doubtless
will be revealed a substantial recov-
cry, for industry has revived through
out the land this veal and doubtless
personal incomes are rising in pro-
portion.
For nearly a decade the income
of the American taxpayers had been
steadily increasing until 1921 when
the business depression brought
about a slump in earnings and re-
turns. The increase in 1914 over the
previous year in national income re-
turned for tax purposes was $780,
100000; the increase in 1915 over
1914 was 100000, 900; in 1915, ST.
100000, 900. In 1917 the year in
which the United States entered the
war with consequent war profits
rolling in, the tremendous increase
in income of $7,4O0, O0O, 900 was re-
corded. The increase in 1918 over
1917 vas $4,000, GOO, 900; in 1919,
s3,900,000,0 600; and in 1920, 3d.
SOC, 000,0 600. Then came 1921 when
the first recession was noted. In
come declined $4,10G, O0O, 900.
Back in 1913 there were only
357,59S returns filed. In those days
incomes under $4,000 a year were
not taxed at all. When the war
came in 1917 the tax rates We're ex-
tended to include many more in
comes and the returns jumped to
~3,472,S90. They rose steadily to the
peak of 7,259,944 in 1920 and then
declined.
The Government Actuary recently
made a special report to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in which he
estimated hat this years taxes
would exceed what has been expected
and what will be needed for run
ming the Government. This likely
will mean that the rates will be
lowered and probably some of the
smaller incomes entirely exempted,
so the total number of taxpayers will
decline again.

LEARN OF c1TY's EARLY HISTORY

An opportunity to learn something about the early days of
Perth Amboy will be afforded Monday night when the pupils of
the grammar school give a pageant in the Majestic theatre in
connection with the graduation exercises. Various episodes show
ing the growth of the city from the earliest days of the Indian

Perth Amboy has an interesting history. Most of the people
now living here are comparatively newcomers. They have only

PROTECT COPS FROM SUN
NEWS.

EDITOR, EVENING NEWS:
1 think it a shame and disgrace
for the City of Perth Amboy to treat
its traffic officers as 1t does. I no
tice that three traffic officers have
a shade over them to protect them
from the blazing sun, and three Off
GERS are without any protection at
all.
Wednesday on the corner Of Pros
pect and Smith it was 80 in the
shade. The traffic officer on the cor
ner was out in the blazing u un-
able to have protection Of any kind.
The sun was enough to give the
strongest of people sunstroke.
Don't the people of this commun-
ity think n officer as good as an
other to provide shelter for all OF
them? 1t seems the city has plenty
OF money to provide new traffic signs
all the time. but not money enough
to purchase large umbrellas to pro-
tect these officers.
