FIGHT FOR THE DEEP CHANNEL

Perth Ambov and the Rantan river district will not see the
tbrtv.foot channel lost without a fight. Action is being taken
by deeper waterway advocates to carry on the agitation for an
outlet to the open sea. The Rartan Terminal and Waterway
Association have arranged for a meeting to be be held here on
August 8 at which time the unfavorable report made by the Fed
eral Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors on the karltan
Raw nroiect will be discussed and ways and means outlined to
make this big Improvement for this locality a reality. Congress
Geran. one of the directors of the Raritan Association, will
attend that meeting. All others interested in the future develop
ment of Perth Amboy are urged to attend the session here.
The Board of Freeholders has voiced a protest against the
action of the engineers and feel that a public hearing should be
arranged in the matter. At the same time the Perth Amboy In
dustrial Association has gone on record as favoring the deep chan
mel. and urges concerted action to put the project across.
Congressman Geran has also sounded the call for help in saw
ING the deep channel project. He urges that all those who have
the interest of this section of the state at heart to write a letter
to the waterway engineers board, submitting arguments in behalf
Of the Improvement. Much can be said for the project when it is
remembered that the future of Perth Amboy depends, alone, upon
the development of its water facilities. Surely, there is no one in
this section who is opposed to this improvement, so the weight of
argument for the improvement should be overwhelming.
The Raritan River bay channel can still be saved if the proper
spirit is shown. During the. past session of the legislature when
the New Jersey Ship Canal project was being considered, many
were Of the opinion that the legislation could not be passed. There
even were some in this section that were publicly against the pro-
1ect for fear that someone would be Denehtted more IMAM tney.
But public opinion and hard work by waterway enthusiasts put
the matter across and action has already been taken to acquire the
land to dig the canal across the state.
The same manifestation of spirit is needed at this time to save
the Raritan Bay project. Write a letter today, setting forth your
arguments in behalf of the deep channel to Sandy Hook. Mail the
letter to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, 2713 Mu-
nitions Building, Washington, D. c. Write to Congressman Geran
and tell him the people of the third congressional district are with
him in his fight for deeper waterways in this section. Write TO
Senators Edge and Edwards and urge them to also work for this
project.
If the fight for the F aritan Bay channel is won, no individual
win benefit more than another. The city of Perth Amboy and the
entire RarHan district will be the winners and for that reason the
call for support is to all those who believe in Perth Amboy and
those who want this section to grow and prosper.

OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN

From all indications women will play an important part IN
the coming political campaign in this section. Strong county or
CARNATIONS are being formed on both sides in Middlesex and local
clubs are being formed in many of the larger municipalities. De-
spite the fact that only smaller offices will be filed at the coming
election, great interest is already being shown, due to the fact,
perhaps, that voters are beginning to realize that the local and
county elections are, after all, most important when home affairs
are to be considered. The coming campaign, at the same time,
holds much interest due to the larger issues involved in the 1924
election.
One healthy outlook in the coming campaign is the large num-
Der of candidates whose names, if present indications hold good,
will appear on the primary election ballots. Especially is this true
in the race for sheriff, and it is hoped that the same condition will
exist for al. the different offices when the campaign is on in earnest
There is a great opportunity in this for the women to take the
lead in getting out a large vote at the primary election. These
elections are held at a great cost to the taxpayers. In many ways,
the primaries are more important than the general election for, if
good candidates are not selected to run in November, how can
honest and efficient government exist. The women have a golden
opportunity for public service by getting out a large primary
vote. In most instances the men have failed in this way. Now
Jet the women try their hands as vote getters-not for any parti-
lar candidate, but for good government.
The women are to be commended for their part in organizing
coming campaign. A womans organization in every NIL
ty in Middlesex and Monmouth county on both Republican
nocratic would be a step in the right direction. Work for
representative vote on primary day in the interest of good

Q. How does it happen that the
son of Aguinaldo is going to West
Point? M. e.
A. Emilio A~guinaldo was APP
pointed to the United States Mill
tary Academy by the Governor GEN
eral of the Philippine Islands. The

bile rae run? H. R.
A. The first record of an auto
mobile race is the one from Paris
to Rouen which took place in June
1894. A distance of as miles was
accomplished at a speed of almost
10 miles an hour.
@. How can opals be cured so
that they will not check? j. B. O..
A. The Geological Survey says
that the checking of opals can be
prevented by putting them in a bot
tie containing a solution of one
half glycerine and one-half water.
There is no way known of prevent
ing checking If the opals are taken
out of the solution and exposed to
the air.
O.. How old can boys be and still
be eligible to the national marbles
championship? H. l..
A. Boys of fourteen years or
younger are eligible to the marble

lar neighborhood. A winner of each
playground completes with other win
ners and the elimination continues

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Applc)

WIGS
Bruno Leo Schurig, hairdresser,
who claims he selects the toupees
for the elder John d. Rockefeller,
returns from Europe with this news:
So many wig makers were killed IN
Germany and France during the
a that wig making has become a
highly exclusive profession.
Judging from the amount of time
devoted to care of the hair, espe-
ciaIly by women, this is important
news. Hair is the most stubborn
survivor of the vanity inherited from
long generations of savage ancestors.
If we were truly sanitary, and less
vain, we'd all keep our heads clipped
or shaved. The theory that bald
headedness is an indication OF su-
perior civilization probably was
started by a bald-headed man who
either had a sense of humor or was
kidding himself.
Candy
Most of us have a different notion
| but prohibition has not caused any
big boom in the candy business. Sc

of National Confectionery Sales
mans Association.
Clark, after wearing out an add
ing machine, finds that three-ifths
of the candy eaten by Americans is
consumed by children, as penny pur-
chases.

AUTO TOURS PLANNED

Soybean growers of the central
west will hold their annual meeting
at Madison, Wisconsin,, September IL.
Crop specialists from state expert
ment stations will be present in
force. The forenoon will be taken up
by short discussions of soybean prob
lens. In the afternoon the extensive
work with soybeans on the Wisconsin
station farm will be inspected. Farm
crops men at University Farm say
that Minnesota should be represented
by at least so soybean growers and
that county agents should begin now
to organize automobile tours for the
trip to Madison. This trip will give
an excellent opportunity for farmers
Of Minnesota to see parts of their
own state and some of the best terri
tory in Wisconsin as well. From
southern Minnesota the best route to
Madison is by way of La Crosse. Fur
Their particulars concerning the best
trails to follow will be given in a
