THE BIG THING TO DO

If Alderman Mcclure wants to make a MT WIN us e0|FN

while for the whole city, he will drop the IDEA Oh paving "'i''
or W. blocks on the dead end of Fayette street, and get oe-
hind the greater project for the real development pt faSe'"
street in its entirety.
The plan for Fayette street as presented to the Doafu u ~

oe the most constructive programs that has ever Oeeh @o Oei'i

would be a great growth in population, and the fourth ward would
take o a boom which has not been equalled III any othsr part Oh
The CITY. 1t would make Fayette street one OF the nam arteries
ct oas+ and west. The street would be paved in a way
..;t.h,o for heavy trucking and the whole development would
mea much for Perth Amboy as well as for the fourth ward.
The CITY Plan Commission has been giving a great deal OF
study to this Fayette street development, and u is understood hat
within a few days another report will be presented showing the
,,d.n for the sewers, water and gas mains laid out scientifically so
as to save the pavement as much as possible.
Here. then, is Alderman MeGuire'4 chance to do something
really worth while. How petty and Insignificant and altogether
ipdefensible becomes the plan to paQe two or three blocks at the
present dead end of the street in qiew of this great development
that must come if Perth Amboy is to grow and prosper. Let Al
derman Mcclure get behind this greater plan with all the IN
fuence he possesses; let him force the matter before the other
aldermen and show that he is in earnest. His work IN behah OIL
such a great improvement cannot help but be appreciated ana 1t
will be doing something worth while.
The paving of two or three blocks at the dead end of the
street would be only temporary at best. Fayette street is a PROJECT
that should be treated as a whole. 1t is time Perth Amboy looked
at these matters in a big way so as to accomplish big things. Al

SIXTH SENSE

Seals have an odd way Of making their living, Pa Seal
establishes his residence on a big floating cake of ice. He
drills a hole down through this ice, into the water. Every
morning Pa Seal and Ma Seal go down this hole and swim off
to bring food to their babies, whom they leave playing on top
Of the ice around the hole.
Along comes Captain Robert A. Bartlett, the explorer. He
mixes up the babies of various families Of seals, shifting them
from one ice cake to another. But he reports that when Ma
Seal returns home she detects the substitution instantly, and
hustles around to the other ice fields until she finds her own
babies.
That is instinct, the sixth sense.
Bartlett also learns that when the baby seals flop down
through the hole in the ice and take their first swim, they
have no trouble finding their way back to their own iceberg,
even though it has been moving steadily with other bergs in
the ocean current.
This, again, is instinct.
It's like the dogs or cats which travel phenomenal dis
tances crosscountry and find their way back home. Bees fly
by a sense of direction, or instinct move the hive a trifle and
they bang into where the entrance used to be. So on, all
through nature.
At some time far back in the past, man probably had the
sixth sense or instinct of other animals. Lost, long ago.
1t survives family, at times, as when we are conscious that some
one has turned on the street to look at us, or in the dark
when we "feel' that we are about to collide with furniture
we cannot see.
Soealled psychic phenomena may be related to the sixth
sense. ~

YOUR HEALTH
BY DR.. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON
CAUsE OF

The cause of goiter has been re-
Gently subjected to much discussion
on the part of physicians and laymen
alike.
Much light has been thrown on
the ~so-called sources of focal infec-
ton. Mysteries which have surround
ed soiter, chronic rheumatism and
diseases of the stomach and kidneys
nave been under strict observation.
Intestinal ~stagnation may cause true
infection by micro-organisms pene-

cases of chemical poisoning, it Is now
believed, are due to focal infection,
arising in other regions.
DR.. De Courey of Cincinnati, head
of the goiter clinic at Seton Hospi-
tai, has advanced the statement that
goiter is caused by fatigue or excess
sive exercise. After the treatment
of three thousand patients, he is
positive that much careful thought
must be given the subject of physical
exercise in schools and other places
by girls and women.

THE ANTHRACITE AGREEMENT

With the signing of the new contract between the anthracite
miners and operators it looks as if peace would reign in the coal
regions of Pennsylvania for at least two years, anyway. The
strike IS settled, to be sure, but the people must pay for it. Already
some of the companies have sent out notices of an increase in the
price of coal; some have raised it sixty cents and others, it is
understood, propose to increase the price ninety cents a ton.
The signing of the new contract took place at the home Of
Governor Pinchot at Milford, Pa and he is being given credit
for bringing about the settlement. He is welcome to all the glory
he can get out Of it. It is noticeable, however, that there is no
great enthusiasm on the part of the public over the settlement. OF
course, we are all glad that there is going to be a steady flow of
coal from the mines all through the winter, but we cannot over
look the fact that it is going to cost nearly a dollar a ton more
than it did last year. In fact, anthracite has entered into the
luxury class Of products. The poorer people can no longer afford
to buy it. Substitutes are being more and more widely adopted,
and a few more such settlements as we have just had and
there will be no need to mine anthracite at all.
If the anthracite operators are scheming TO keep their coal
in the luxury class so as to make it a high priced product to be
used only by the exclusive rich who can afford to pay, they may
End that they have oyerdone the matter. Coal for heating I
poses has many faults. The SCOT, the ashes, the gas that come
from the use of coal are all highly Objectionable. Already oil is
being found more convenient for industry, office buildings. With
apartments. It is even coming into use in private dwellings. With
its constant heat and no ashes or dirt, oil is much more desirable
than coal
But the ultimate method of heating will be electricity. Sooner
or later some invention will be put on the market to get electricity
from the air and make it serve to heat buildings by the mere
pressing Of a button. In the meantime, the rich, to whom the
anthracite operators seem to be catering, will be the first to afford
The much more desirable method of heating by electricity as thai
method is developed. By freezing out the poor and the middle
class, therefore, the anthracite operators will find themselves oui
altogether as these people become more familiar with the use Of
substitutes. Anthracite at a ~prohibitiye price is the same IS ne

HASKIN TELLS STORIES OF THE
BEEN PRESIDENTS

speedily that there was an apprecla-
BILE consensus OF opinion that Len
root would be a good man to have
on the national ticket. He was a good
campaigner, SO the talk ran, and
would be especially desirable in sec
ond place in the event Leonard Wood
or Frank o. Lowden should be me
uominee for President.
Too Much OF the Senate
Even after Harding had been
chosen for first place the sentiment
for Lenroot for second place still
ran strong and there was a time
when it appeared fairly certain that
the Wisconsin man would be pat
over-when there was that tact
agreement that has been mentioned
Then some one suggested that thai
would be putting 4 little tID muci,
senate il the party pudding.
The nominee for the Presidency
had been taken from the senate. il
was pointed out, and to name an
other senator for vice president
would be going a bit strong. There
had been considerable talk about
the senate obligarchy that was I'M
d%ertaking to u the party and the
country as well, and it would not be
good politics to invite further at
lacks and criticism on that score.
Possibly it was a friend of Calvin
Coolidge who offered that suggestion
or that line of argument. AT any
rate. it was a case of thumbs down
Tor nro and thumbs up for Cool
idge. When the ballot was taken
Lenroot received 146A votes, de

been passed down the line that tic

Next Came Lenroot

The big if of the 1915 campaign
was that Charles Evans Hughes, Re
publican nominee would prob
ably have been elected President il
he had not made the mistake of Of
Tending Hiram johnson and his fol-
lowers in California. But this was
an instance where the man had his
fate in his own hands and he could
not blame the goddess that is sup
posed to preside over mems des-
TIMES.
Therefore the next real might
haye-been President is Senator Ir-
vine l.. Lenroot, of Wisconsin.
During the Republican prelimi-
nary campaign Of 1920 Lenroot was
frequently mentioned as a dark
horse candidate for the presidential
nomination, but in the Chicago con-
vention he received only one vote
for that honor. On four different
ballots one of the delegates from
New York voted for the Wisconsin
senator.
However. after Harding had beer
named and it came to the eholee OF
La candidate for Vice President there
was a time when Lenroot was taclt'
Nv agreed upon for the nomination
THAT is, perhaps, a posltlye stAtS'

question and che that is not suseep'

Smith Street
Smith street is the Broadway of
Perth Amboy. 1t extends from the
Staten Island sound west to the city
line and is the eity's chief business
street. There is considerable dis
pute as to where Smith street OBJ
tanned its name but according to
best advices it was named after Joel
B Smith who lived on the lower end
Of the street. Mr.. Smiths son, j.
Bruce Smith, who formerly lived
here now resides in Elizabeth. Some
of the old residents of the city prior
10 their deaths declared that Smith
street in the early history of Perth
Amhoy was known as Main street
and it is said that many of the old
residents so called the street during
their life time.
Up until 1870 the street only ex-
tended from the ferry to the inter-
section of State street. Above Smith
street at that time was known as the
commons. About 1873 the street
was continued west to the city line.
The street which has all improves
mepts including wood block paving
was laid out on what was known as
1.-The Buchanan property.
