AUBURN FINISHES PRA CTTCE FOR GEORGIA TECH 4
FLORIDA LEAVES FOR GAME
 WITH ALABAMA AT WOOD
Gators Arrive In Jacksonville Tuesday Night O'Clock On Way To Magic City

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Nov. 27- Special )-Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock the fighting Gators of the University of Florida held their last practice session of the 1923 season on Fleming field in preparation for their battle with the Thin Red Line | Thanksgiving Day in Birmingham. For two hours the Orange and Blue athletes worked strenuously in put ting on the finishing touches to the 1 Gator grid machine which will line up against Alabama, a far more formidable football outfit than the one which faced the Mississippi Az gies last Saturday Coach Van Fleet has drilled his charges into a frame of mind that never gives up, and the Florida eleven, realizing the strength of the Crimson Tide, is determned to come out of the fray with a we'll earned victory.
 The workout Tuesday marked the final appearance as Gators football players on Fleming field of Captain Robbie Robinson, star tackle and doughty leader of the Florida team, and Stewart Pomeroy, brilliant half back. These two men. in their four year football career at Florida, have IunR up tiN idDlG IGEOtd anu W III be missed next year.
 The Florida party of 23 Gators and their managers and coaches boarded the Gator special for Birmingham at 3:37 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Hun dreds of Florida students, led by the band, marched down to the train, and gave the Orange and Blue such a send-off as never before has been witnessed in Gainesville. Captain Robbie" with tears in his eyes, stated to the students that the Gators were going to bring back victory or die in the attempt.
 A Florida victory over Alabama would bring the fighting Gators out on top of the scrap for southern foot 1 ball honors. At the present moment the Alabama eleven is doped to be the strongest grid machine in Dixie, and
 by it's convincing victory over the Georgia Bulldogs last Saturday has
 been practically conceded the $. l, C,
 championship, provided it conquers the Gator team in it's final contest
 of the season on Turkey Day.

one Every human being is born into the world with the
potential ability to develop just so far but no farther.
This theory, about any individuals limitations, Is adj
vanced by DIR. Il. H. Goddard, psychlatrlst at Onlo state
University. ~
It sounds reasonable, since we all know that we cannot
build a skyscraper out of one load OF bricks. Some OF us are
more gifted than others. Also, we lack certain powers that
nothing on earth can possibly develop.
Max Rubner years ago penned a similar ldea; FOR
every pound weight of his body at maturity, the average man
produces and consumes 10000 Galleries OF energy before
he dies. Death comes when he has consumed tnat amount.
Nothing that he can possibly do will make his body produce
during adult life more energy than the 3o2,9OO calorles; ana
nothing can possibly prevent his death when this amount OF
energy is produced"
Accepting Runners theory, you can overWork o. ossipate
so that YOU will use up your potential energy sooner imam II
Won live slowly and s~ensibly. That's why loafers outhve the
bardworkers who are like furnaces that burn with the drafts

COMPARISONS OF TAX RATES

In a comparison of the tax rates for the different munich
palities of Middlesex county it is found that Perth Amboy is ex-
ceeded by three others. While the tax rate here is definitely an
nounced at 1856 on every 800 valuation, the tax rate Of Dunellen
Ne 457; Woodbridge, 466, and South Amboy, 500. 1t is significant,
however, that while the three places that exceed Perth Anboy In
the tax rate show a reduction this year from last year, the tax
rate here shows an increase.
/ New Brunswick with a paid fire department and a great
amount of tax exempt property, has a tax rate this year OF 4o0
which is two points lower than Perth Amboy and which is a
reduction from last year of thirteen points. Those opposed to the
eommission form of government here have always held New
Brunswick I'D as an example of the failure of commission govern
ment. No doubt it is not as successful there as it might be, but
even with all the evils that are so apparent they seem to be making
more of a success of running their city than we do here under
our old, antiquated system. 1t is safe to say that New Bruins
circumstance, but the fact that it is working under a commits
sion is so advantageous that even at its worst 1t shows up de-
cfdedly better than we do here.
As a matter of fact, with a commission OF five men elected
Hrom the CITY at large acting as a board of directors, and this
commission employing a city manager to run the city IN an
economical and businesslike manner, there would be some chance
for Perth Amboy to pull out of the hole in which 1t now hnds
itself. The present city officials are no more to blame, perhaps,
4san the officials that have gone before. In fact, the statement
of the present board shows gross Encouragement IN the past
for which the people are now paying the penalty. And it will
always be so until we adopt more modern methods in handling our
see fit to do so.

100 PER GENT. EFFICIENCY DEMANDED

It takes an old soldier to insist on discipline, obedience and
efficiency. Governor Silzer chose well when he selected General
Scott for one of the state highway commissioners. There is to be
no skipping Of contracts if the general can prevent it, and being
chairman Of the commission he is in a position to know pretty
much what is going on.
The action of the commission in regard to the pavement IN
Hackensack is notice to contractors what to expect when they
bid on paving jobs under the present board. When General
Scott learned from the state road chemist that certain sections
Of the road that had just been completed were only eighty per cent.
sfficent, he promptly declared that eighty per cent efficiency Will
not do. Specifications, in the opinion OF a sturdy old soldier
like General Scott, are meant to be complied with. The com
nander of an army is not accustomed to eighty per cent. obedience.
No battles could be won with eighty per cent. service on the part
ne the soldiers. sunless a road that is built Is 100 per cent.
perfect,'' General Scott announced, 'it will be of no USE"
l. It looks like honest construction as far as the future work
N the highways is concerned. There is some satisfaction in know
ing that the new road between Metuchen and Highland Park
which is notorious throughout the country as being the road that
Rcst $4,000 a mile to build, will have to be passed upon by the
lew State Highway Commission over which General Scott pre-
