struck telephone pole near the road
side with tremendous force, making
it impossible for the occupants to keep
their positions. DIR. Brand was the
only one thrown from the car. Mrs.
Brand was thrown against the wheel
with great force and the other oc-
cupants were badly Jared. The car
was practically uninjured except for
badly smashed running board and
fender and was driven into Groton on
its own power. Because of the impos-
sibility of shutting of the gas and
the condition of the road the accident
could not have been prevented and
no responsibility attaches to Mrs.
Brand. That all four of the party
were not much worse injured than
they were is miraculous under the
circumstances.

CITY PLAN WOULD HAVE PREVENTED IT

The plight in which Woodbridge township, and particularly
the Fords section, finds itself in regard to the water supply is an
other striking evidence of the need of a city plan for any growing
municipality. 1t was brought out at a recent conference between
the township officials and the Middlesex Water Company that the
water mains that were laid ten years ago were put down only for
the needs at that time without any thought for the future. Today
the township is using 100000 gallons of water daily as against
about 100000 gallons ten years ago. The water company, do to
shortsightedness when its mains were laid, and to the failure
of the municipal authorities to insist upon proper provision being
made for the future, now finds itself unable to meet the demand
and the people of Woodbridge are threatened with a water famine.
Fords is already feeling the pinch with no relief in sight.
\ But an expert city planner would have never permitted such a
situation to develop. 1t is the main object of a city plan to provide
for the future. Experts studying the situation in Woodbridge
would have foreseen the great development that was bound to
come as a result of the boom that was on in Perth Amboy ten years
ago. They would have provided accordingly. The enormous ex-
pense of taking up the mains laid only ten years ago and replac-
wing them with larger pipe would have been avoided.
Discussing the state park movement, the New York Sun. last
night, said sit has long been accepted as a principle Of city plan.
adng hat large reservations for parks should be made to provide
places for recreation away from the crowded streets" What is
etrue regarding parks is also true regarding water mains and
sewers. There always must be provision for the future. Any mu-
nicipaity to grow properly ought to have a city plan.

WHY THEY u

Susie Hetlock, % claims the dishwashing championship
of the world. Susie works in the kitchen of the PantalI Hotel
in I unxsutawney, Pa.
Between meals, the kitchen help got talking about the
marathon dancers-and why a marathon is rarely attempt
ed at some useful task. Susie began boasting about how
long she could perform with dishpan and soap. Bets were
made.
Susie washed dishes 81 hours straight without stopping.
She needn't worry about her laurels. No danger OF mara
thon dishwsshing or any other kind OF houseWork becoming
epidemic.
The question that started Susie performing remains un-
settled. Namely: "Why do endurance contestants almost
without exception waste their energy on such trlvlalltles as
dancing and running, and rarely at useful tasks?'
Trying to figure it out, you become mired to the neck IN
psychology.
Probably it's because a useful task nearly always involves
some sort of compulsion, against which we all have an In
stinctive spirit of revolt. Not many centuries since most Of
our ancestors were slaves of one sort or other. Freedom
was a delusion, with the peasant toiling to support mon
archs or other so-ealled nobility in grand style. (Modern
monarchs are alarm clock and cost OF Evlng)
Instinctively we resent even the rulersh1p exerted over us
by nature-her making it compulsory for US to work If we
want to survive. =
The less compulsion, the less spirit of revolt. That's why
pleasant working conditions and liberal pay increase the
average persons ficiency-theoretically at least.
Revolving against compulsory tasks, we gladly welcome
anything that doesn't involve compulsion-for instance, rec-
reation or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of how much labor IS in.
volved. ,
Remember how Tom Sawyer induced his pals to white-
wash the fence for him? He made the task recreation BY
removing the compulsory feature. -
Willie will toll until ready to drop in his tracks, build
ing a shanty or tramping with the Boy Scouts. But he
groans when asked to go to the corner store or carry out the
ashes.
Considering our instructive aversion to compulslon, it's
a psychological mystery that we submit to any form of au-
thority-political, industrial or home. Whenever we abide
by rulership, it's merely acceptance OF the lesser OF two evils.

BIGGEST HUNT ABANDONED

BIGGEST HUNT ABANDONED
The greatest hunt in the world
and the most unusual surviving court
ceremony-the famous elephant
drive of Siam-is to be abolished.
SLAMS centuries-old spring festi-
val gives way before modernism
which has adopted the machinery,
the economies, and even literature of
the East, for Shakespeare in trans
lation now is O Siamese best seller"
says a bulletin from the Washington,
d. c., headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.
Once the hunt dramatized a mill
tary necessity and the Kings annual
visit to the ancient capital, Ayuthia,
netted him elephants OF war which
were the first line of defense of the
new Bangkok.
Motor Supplants Elephant
'In later years the elephant was
a commercial asset, especially in
teak numbering, out the motor has

weeks ahead of tho Kings ar

| small army OF 'beaters' would spread
| out for scores of miles above the de-
serted city and begin their slow task
of driving the elephants into one
| great herd.
~By the time the animals have
been herded at the banks Of the Me
Nam River the King has come up
that river in a barge and occupies a
royal box in a grandstand built
back of the north wall of the stock
ade.
"All the siamese who can come
are there. They tax the railroad
trains, crowd the river with their
craft, and even at that the greater
number walk along the dusty roads.
The Climax of the "Drive''
THE most spectacular feature of
the entertainment is driving the slow
moving beasts across the river to the
kraal. They splash and roll In the
stream. spout water and scoop it
with their swinging trunks, and
trumpet in a cultural chorus like no
other commotion that ever ~assailed
the a of man.
I'm command here are the tame
elephants, who lead the way and
bring UP the rear, and i%nnocently
amble into the kraal for their unwit- |
ting companions to follow.
Once inside the trap the work of |
picking the 'thoroughbreds' of the
1ostling. e~ar-flapping, panicky, gela-
tinous mass of animal flesh begins.
A Siamese picks an elephant on
points as a Kentuckian would a
horse. His skin must be unbroken, |
not fungus-grown, and light in color.
Black %toenails are desirable and
these should be intact. Many are re-
Jected because their tails have been
torn off in some jungle fight. The
gait must be steady and even.
The elephants chosen are fasten-
ed to stakes, which makes many of
them frenzied, and occasionally one
breaks loose and attacks his fellows.
Such battles feryently hoped for
by the spectators.
After the connoisseurs have pick
ed a few hundred of the best animals
the many more hundreds are set free
and left to find their old haunts
again"

England, Canada, and Australia. In
this international small bore match
the contenders do net fire shoulder
10 shoulder. Each competing team of
~ men fires on q range in it's own
country. The scores made by each
countr yare cabled to the teams OF
the other competing countries.
We Now Hold Three Trophies
At present the United States has
the trophies for all three of these
International championships. The
Dewar small bore trophy has been
In this country since 1913. The free
rife trophy, a beautiful copper and
silver s~tatuette given to the shoot
ing union by Argentina, has been
ours for the past two years. And the
Palma shield has remained with us
since 1907.
Camp Perry is TO be the center of
interest for all American rifemen
in September, for tho national rife
matches and the National Rifle Az
ISOLATION matches are to follow i'm
mediately after the international
events, while the school of instrue-
ton just proceeding the various
competitions is expected to attract
between 1900 and 1900 marksmen.
This school conducted by the Gov
eminent, Is open to all rifemen
without charge for instruction, am
munition, match grade rifles, or
sleeping quarters. Transportation
and about s1.25 a day subsistence
are the only necessary expenses in
Cured by those who attend.
Rifemen attending the camp will
have the opportunity of firing in a
number of events. Those will include
shooting with the % calibre rife,
military rifle, free rife. 20 calibre
pistol, as automatic service pistol,
target revolver, and shot gun.
There will probably be few specta-
tors at the rifle meet who do not
take part in the shooting, at least
in the training school program.
Those who so to watch catch the
spirit and stay to shoot. The Nat
ional Rifle Association OF this city,
which is the headquarters for the
matches, says that rifle shooting is
a unique sport. II is the only sport
in which more than 1000 men and
some women can be found competing
for places in a national and inter-
national tournament.
In no other sport are all OF the
fans also sportsmen. and in no other
are the ages and types OF the parti-
cipants so widely varied.
The ages of the shooters at Camp
Perry this fall will range from per-
haps ~ years to so. There will be
some girls and women in the con-
tests. A California woma was a
member of the small bore champion
ship team in 1920 and 1921. A coll
lege man, Walter Stokes, On the free
rifle team won the worlds champion
ship for firing in standing, kneeling.
and prone positions. in 1921. Law
yers, mechanics, engineers, and ser
vice men are other types found mr.
ing shoulder to shoulder i'll rifle con-
tests.
The free rife team has in the past
been made up chiefly Of service men
because it has not been possible to
stage nation wide try outs. Now that
civilian sharpshooters all over the
country have an opportunity to com
pete for the international team, the
United States may get together the
FIVE best rifle shots in the country
and hold the Argentine trophy even
against the redoubtable Swiss.
