SENATE: EXPECTED ID REACH REVE NUE BILL DURING WEEK
Fight Against Agricultural Code, Introduced Friday,
 Is Indicated
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Mont rOnery Alb ,IuIy o2 |

After the convict lease system, revenue will De the most important issue for the consideration of the law makers during the next few days. The bill creating the machinery for the assessment and collection of taxes during the present administra- tion was passed bv the house Monday and is now in the senate. There arc indications that it will be reached d during the next week.
 Talk among legislators indicates tkat the senate will restore some of the sections which were stricken by the house. One proposal in the sen ate will be for the equal division of the revenue from the gasoline tax be- tween the state and the 67 counties. The house adopted an amendment re- quiring the use of the entire revenue from the tax in the construction of highways by the counties. When the gasoline tax was imposed at the spring session the general fund of the state was given 50 per cent of the tax and the counties were given the other 50 per cent.
 This amendment will take about $500, 900 yearly from the state tras- = ury. Governor Brandon has informed legislators that if they insist that the tax go to the counties another source of revenue must be found for the state. as the treasury cannot lose s600 GOO yearly without suffering large deficit.
 Indications are that fight will be made against the agricultural code which was introduced Friday. This code provides a state board of agri- culture which would take over the work now done by various boards and bureaus. A minority of the Ala bama Farm Bureau Federation when was defeated at the recent stat e meeting of the federation mas li,uiI i.,I oated that it will make an organized light. the argu1nent being that the code would give the extension service at Auburn an undue influence over the states agricultural activities.
 However, the majority of the iarnl III bureau federation has indicated l'S Pu1r eunnort of the code and has gone on record as approving the work or the farm extension service.

POLICE SAY BOYS ADMIT
ROBBERY At SO. AMDOY

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 22.-Ben-
jamin Slochowski, fifteen years of
age, and Stephen Thorn ore, thir-
teen years, were brought before Po-
lice Justice Ruben Forgotson last
night in the City Hall. charged with
entering and robbing the butcher
shop of Frederick Isely on Broad
way, Monday night. The boys were
allowed to go home after their par
ents had furnished $500 bail for
their appearance at the juvenile
court at New Brunswick on Friday
morning.
AS soon as the police were notified
of the robbery a city wide search
was instituted for Slochowski, who
was employed by Isely at his butch
er shop. 1t was late yesterday after
noon that Police Officer Edward
OLeary finally located the boy in
company with Thormore. Without
hesitancy both confessed they had
entered the shop through the cellar
and opened the safe, taking $40 out
of the cash box.
According to the police, the boys
told of spending part of the money
at the Protection Engine Company
carnival on Monday night. They
stated they entered the butcher shop
shortly after Z o'clock on the night
in question. Slochowski, when ques-
toned about opening the safe told
the police he had watched Isely
place the money in the safe and
took notice that he did not turn the
combination handle after he had
closed the door.
1t is understood that Slochowslsi,
a week ago, filled the grooved sec
ton of the safe with paper in order
to prevent the bolt from slipping
into its place. In this way 1t would
be an easy matter to get the money.
The police are of the opinion that
the robbery was premeditated and
the youngster watched for several
days for the opportune time to rob
the safe.
Thormore, the thirteen-year-o
chum of Slochowski, admitted en-
tering with his pal. He stated that
he at first took only dollar bill, but
when he found out that his pal had
SIS, went back for a SIS bill.

MECHAN|CSV|LLE
HAS SPR0TEST
Shuttle Bus Service Will be
Solution as Bridge Street
Has Been Closed

SOUTH AMBOY. Aug. 22.-Bus
ssrvice for the residents of the Me-
chanicsville section during the i'm
provements on the road leading to
this section caused no end of ex-
element at the Common Council
meeting last night. Bridge street.
leading into Meehanicsville, was
closed to traffic yesterday by the
contractors in charge of the build
ing of the new road.
Councilmen Delaney, Connors,
Disbrow and Tice, together with
Counselor John Lovely, all took
sides in the case. 1t was pointed out
that to give service to the people in
this section 1t will work a hardship
on the bus operators. 1t means that
shuttle bus must be operated in
and out of this section until such
time as the street is completed.
After considerable wrangling
Councilman Delaney moved that the
chief of police devise ways and
means of getting service for the peo
pie of Mechanicsville. Failure to
provide this transportation by the
bus operators, 1t was pointed out,
will result in the revoking of lie
enses to operate In this city.
Acting Chief of Police Thomas
Gleason, who was at the meeting
stated that he foresaw trouble ahead
and asked if the inauguration of a
shuttle bus would have any effect
on the regular fare. Councilman
Delaney stated that the regular rate
of fare had been established by or
dlnance and would remain unchang-
ed.
1t Is expected that 1t will be three
or four days before the shuttle will
be used to an advantage in and out
of Mechapicsville.

What Is Going On At Perth

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PLAY

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PLAY
Little has been said about play and
its significance. The writer apprec-
liates that fact too well. There is
too mut h to &c said concerning play
lard its utter imp lance for the
writer to undertake an evident task
IN 'Dlrt Dust" He combines with
Nature and the child in an appeal
to let him play, to direct his ac-
tivities along the right channels.
Glance back. and appreciate with
us, the fact that it is highly essen
tial that we fortify the child more
today than ever before. Perfect phv-
sical health and growth are absolute
ly necessary. Health is impossible
without the full development of all
the vital organs, the heart, lungs.
stomach, as well as the brain. Edu-
c1tion should find the stage of growth
and development of these organs at
each stage of life, and furnish prop
er exercise for the adequate growth
and development. Parents should do
more towards promoting health and
vigor in their children. Children
do not have to work around the
house as they had to in former days;
the educational efficiency of the
home has decreased and directly af-
fects the will and character of the
child. Bring children into the high
school in perfect physical condition
and they will do better work and
more of it. Under the present sys-
tenn the school cannot do all that it
might to promote physical exercise
for those who are weak. They who
are interested in physical education
are those who prize learning most
highly and are watching the grow
ing interest in athletics in schools.
In order to bring out the best eff
cheney there must needs be the
utmost cooperation between the
school and the home.
