IMPROVED FERRY SERVICE

The extra boat service during week-ends and the start that
been made for a new ferry slip at the foot Of Bentley street,
|Tottenvile, shows that the Staten Island Rapid Transit is awake
Ito the necessity of additional facilities for handling the traffic
across the sound at this point. With three boats running Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays, the long line of waiting cars that has
become so familiar here on Sundays and holidays will be a thing
of the past. And once the autoists learn Of the accommodations
more cars are going to use the Staten Island route instead of fol-
lowing in the endless procession Of cars going out Amboy avenue
by the way Of Elizabeth and Newark.
The ferry between Staten Island aud South Amboy IS not
making the progress that was ezpeosd. Various excuses are of,
|fered for not having the boats in operation sooner, but with the
bright kind Of enterprise this line should have been opened in
time for the summer traffic. This was expected to help solve the
problem of congestion. The outlook now is that this new ferry
will not be ready before fall if then, and there will be little bust
mess for it until another summer rolls around.
In the meantime the Rapid Transit ferry between this city
and Tottenvile viii have been improved 10 such an extent that
the need Of the South Amboy ferry will not be nearly as great as
at present.

Yesterday since, as a charming little girl of four, she
tripped before the footlights and frolicked with the original
Uncle Tom.
She was hand-biIed by a wise oldtime trouper as ''The
Youthful Wonder-Little Cordelia Howard-generaly called
the Child of Nature"
Her part, as Eva, was made the star because the man who
dramatized Harriet Beecher Stoves famous book was her
father, who conducted a dime museum in Troy, n. Y. The
first performance of "Uncle Toms Cabin" was in that city
Sept. 81, 1852.
Troy at that time had only 10000 people, but "Uncle
Toms Cabin ran for 100 nights straight. No other play
ever written could duplicate that record In a town oil the
same size.
From Troy the show jumped to New York City, where 1t
ran 35 performances before going on the road.
Seventy-one years have passed., but at least a dozen lom

SENATOR EDGE TELLS WHERE HE STANDS

Senator Edge made a forceful and impressive speech before
The Perth Amboy Rotary Club at its Ladies Night event at the
New Packer House last night. The senator left no doubt as to
where he stands regarding the present trend of legislation toward
paternalism. His plea was for less interference in business on the
part of the government.
He predicted that in the coming session of congress there
would be a desperate attempt made to have the government take
over the control Of railroads and other public and semipublic
utilities Of the country. The senator said that he believed in the
rule of the majority as expressed by the majority vote in legis-
lative halls and he would willingly vote to change the rules of the
senate so as to do away with the flibuster whereby a small minor
iy can hold up and often defeat measures favored by a great
majority. Yet, as much as he is opposed to such methods, he is so
heartily in favor of keeping government out Of business that he
viii, If necessary, join a filibuster to defeat any attempt to extend
government control over any line of business. The senator re-
ferred to the country's present prosperity and declared that this
prosperity could be maintained only by encouraging individual
enterprise and reassuring private business.
That the great majority of those present were in hearty accord
with the senator regarding his attitude of government toward
business, was evident from the applause that greeted his remarks.
AS the senator well said, this country was getting along fairly we'll
before the war, and while conditions that existed then can never
be restored, and few, if any, would go back to those conditions, yet
there is no reason now for such a radical departure from the
principles on which the government was run prior to 1914.
The senator gave a plain, common sense talk and the earnest
ness with which he expressed himself regarding government by
S1dorifes and giving business a chance to grow without too
that there would be no pussy-footing on his part when these
issues come before the senate, as the senator believes they will
during the next session of congress.

FENCE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION

When F. A. Seaman was chairman of the street committee
in the Board of Aldermen he had erected along The Bluff an or
Elemental iron fence. The fence was really a part Of The new bulk
head that was built at the time Water street was paved. This was
one Of the greatest improvements the city has ever had. There
ahaapot a more beautiful view to be found anywhere in New
icy than the view from the Bluff along Water street.
- The city did well 10 capitalize this beauty spot; but what
been accomplished is only a beginning of what might be done
TO make the Bluff the asset it should be to the city. How
4ver, it is necessary first to make sure of what we already have so
- to 60 on from where we are to still greater things. Attention is
therefore called to the need Of repairs and a coat Of paint for the
iron fence along the Bluff so that it may continue not only to
Serve its purpose of keeping people from falling off the bulkhead
Hnio the water, but be a thing of beauty and an ornament to that
M~leliehtful spot. The fence is broken off at one end and it is sad
IN in need Of paint. The least we can do is to keep up city prop
|prty even if we cannot go on adding new features to beautify the
|eity. This iron fence along the Bluff cost considerable money
|and the city cannot afford to have it 90 to ruin for the want of
i few dollars to have it restored to first class condition

The Old Town
Street by Street-Know Your City
Division Street

Division street runs north from
Fayette street to the tracks of the
Lehigh Valley railroad. The section
from Broad street to Fayette street
is paved, has sidewalks and curbs
and all other improvements. This
section is known as an industrial
street because of the many bust
ness places and factories of various
kinds that are located upon it. From
Broad street to the tracks of the
Legihe Valley, there is no paving,
no sidewalks nor curbs. This sec
ton is thickly built UP with homes.
The street was named about forty
years ago and from what can be
learned at this time, was probably
called Division street because of the
fact that it divided the tract of land
then being developed.

A Possible Fire Alarm

A Possible Fire Alarm
Another department or the Govern
ment which may wei make use of
this method is the Forest Service.
In its struggle to control the forest
nres which eat up millions OF dollars
worth OF timber every year, its
greatest problem is to communicate
the location of the fire to headauar-
tiers on short notice, so that men
and tools may be rushed to the
spot. 1t has already used radio TO
some extent in this work, but for the
most part 1t has had to rely on the
telephone, and 1t has strung its
lines across thousands of miles of
wilderness to the mountain tops
where its fire guards keep vigil
throughout the fire season.
These fragile webs of communi-
cation are constantly menaced by
storms and by falling trees, and the
number of lookout posts that can
be used IN the circumstances is nee
essarily limited. With a directive
system of radio communication, US
ing the short wave length so that
the possibilities OF interference
could be eliminated, quick and GER
tain communication would be OBJ
tanned with any point in a forest to
which an apparatus could be con-
veyed.
Other possibilities of this method
will readily suggest themselves to the
imagination. In fact, the future of
radio seems to be u subject in
which the imagination can work
as freely as it could III the realm of
aeronautics a generation ago. No
man would have dared a few years
ago to predict the enormous devel-
Cpment OF b~roadcastIng which has
surprised and delighted the world.
Evidently what is coming ext is
an intensive development in the use
Of radio communication. The ether
has been conquered. the oceans
%spanned, the whole world linked to-
gcthcr in the impaipable bonds O
vibration. The immediate result II:
been a confusion which will probaL
get worse before it gets any bett,
The best thought of lawmakers
well as scientists is necessary to
solution Of the problem.
And the line of scientific develop
nlcnt, the experts SEEN agreed, is
in the direction of short wave
lengths use. As everyone knows VIII,
follows radio. practically all con-
munication within this country use
the $50 and 400 meter w~ave-length
Yet Mr.. Dunmore and Mr.. En-
gel have experimental with wave
lengths as short as five meters. ana
have been highly successful in then
work with the ten-meter length
Between these very short wave
lengths and those now in use is a
very vast unexplored range of vi
tration, in which the future of ra-
do communication Can expand.
