care and regulation of gas burning
appliances, which should be universal

points are an unobstructed chimney
fiue, clean burners, properly adjusted
mixers and non-leaking house connec-
tions. Should the gas consumer en-

solve and correct the local company
will gladly make an examination and

EVERYBODY SHOULD CONTRIBUTE

Attention is called TO the method adopted by the local post Of
the American Legion TO raise its quota of the fund being raised
to decorate the graves of the American boys who were killed in the
World War and whose bodies still lie under the sod of France
An endowment of $4,000 is being created for the purpose SO that
every Memorial Day the graves in France will be decorated, just
decorated.
Realizing that drives of various sorts are greatly over
done and that house TO house canvasses are unpopular, no matter
how worthy the cause, the American Legion in Perth Amboy is
adopting the voluntary contribution method. 1t is for the people
to give as they choose for this worthy cause. The slogan is "At
least a dime from everybody Surely when we remember that
tinue to enjoy the blessings of liberty and that this great nation of
ours might continue to be the land of opportunity. no one will re-
fuse a dime for such a worthy cause.
A box is TO be placed at Smith and State streets tomorrow
and into it the people who pass are asked to drop their contrbu-
tioh. 1t ought not to be left merely to those who happen to pass.
The cause is worth a special trip to the corner in order to make
a contribution.
These boys who died did not hesitate to 60 overseas for us;
surely we ought not to consider it too much trouble or out of our
Ray-to-go to Smith and State streets to give something toward
having their graves decorated. And it is not necessary that con-
tribuhons be limited to a dime, either. The main thing, however,
is TO make a contribution Of some sort, no matter how small. The
box viii be found at Smith and State streets tomorrow afternoon
and evening. The whole city ought to make a pilgrimage to that
spot tomorrow.

PRESIDENT HARD1NG's OPPORTUNITY

President Harding, in ais letter to a resident Of Newburgh,
4. r. expressed grave concern as to the consequences should the
federal government be compelled to enter upon the territory and
jurisdiction of the state in the enforcement of the constitution
in regard to prohibition. "The most difficult and trying situations
would inevitably arise he says. more or less conflict between
state and federal authorities would seem unavoidable in such
circumstances"
All of this may be true, and it is to be hoped that there viii be
no such clash of authority. But there is one place where the
federal government can enforce the prohibition law and uphold
the constitution without any danger of clashing with the state au-
thorities. That place is along the coast where for three miles off
shore the federal government has full jurisdiction. The enforce
ment of the law within that three mile limit is entirely in the
hands of President Harding. With the army and navy at his dis
posal to see that the honor and dignity of the constitution are
upheld, let the President show what he can do toward stopping
the rum smuggling from the West Indies and Nova Scotia before
he expresses so much concern about the federal government as

IN ETERNAL SNOW

What do you know about the Eskimos7 You've seen
pictures Of them, standing around in the snow IN their heavy
furs, and probably decided they looked too stupid to be inter-
esHng. But the Eskimos are a remarkably fascinating, strange
people, according to an interview with Donald b. McMlLan,
the polar explorer, published in the Christian Register.
Parents select their children's husbands and wives among
the Eskimos. Men marry at 20, girls at IL. A mans at lib
erty to have two wives if he can support them. The hrst
wife is never jealous of the second, for she knows the new
conner will by custom, do the household ~drudgery.
Orphan children are gladly given a home with any tam"
iy they select. And Eskimo children never are punished.
The old are deeply respected.
clothes and food, with no other industry that amounts to
much. Eskimos have no calendar, no days, weeks or years.
No woman knows her age. Time is taken as it comes, with
out worry, without measuring it.
Until they were discovered by explorers In 1880, says
Macmillan, the Eskimos thought they were the only peo-
nile in the world. They have in their mythology two peo-
ne who started the human race, an Adam and an Eve. The
old men pass on to succeeding generations a legend about "a
great flood that long, long ago came over the tops OF the
hill 1000 feet high Noah's flood?
The Eskimos have always believed in a life hereafter as
firmly as in this existence on earth. They accept this belief
as too sensible to doubt or argue about. Heaven, they be-
lieve, will have less cold than here, with better hunting and
a reunion with loved ones who have died. They also believe
in a form of reincarnation.
The Eskimos, says Macmillan, are h~appiest, most carefree
people in the world, though terrors of darkness, tempest,
cold and famine are ever at their doors.
"Many children die at birth, the mothers are so hard
working; but if a child lives four or five days it will live I'M
til it is 60, for there are no diseases in the Far North-no
cancer, pneumonia or tuberculosis"
What? A country with no disease? A people among
whom every day is Sundaye A race where parents are re-
spected by their children and families are supremely happy?
That won't do. Our public affairs lunatics will have to hurry
up and CIVILIzE them.

TRAFFIC sHANTIEs REMOVED

There is a decided improvement in the appearance Of the
streets since the u~nsightly traffic shantes have been removed. The
neat and effective 'stop' and "go'' signal has taken the place
of the shanty is all that could be asked for, and the officer, instead
of being cooped up in a little "two-by-four' where he was power
less to do anything but turn a lever and where his vision was
more or less interfered with, now stands out in the open directing
traffic by his signal, but ready for any emergency that may arise.
At the same time, corners already congested with traffic are re-
slleved of an obstruction that only added to the confusion.
Having tried out the shanties for several months, the con-
irast now is very apparent With traffic increasing as it is from
year to year, more room, not less, is what is needed at the busy
corners. This is a problem for the City Plan Commission. Just
Eel, the resembling of the order regarding the parking of cars
wasla decided step for the better after the experiment of having
cars parked at an angle of fortyfve degrees from the curb was
tried, so it will be found that, everything considered, the re-
moval Of the traffic shanties after a fair trial. is good judgment.

THE REFEREE
IBy Albert Applet

Bread
Bakers have been running a big
national campaign to induce us to
ca more bread. They say bread
eating by Americans has fallen off
a fourth. If each of us ate one
more slice of bread a day, it would
incr .ase our national consumption
of wheat III million bushels a year.
This the bakers urge us to do. They
argue that 1t would help the farmer.
1t would help the wheat farmer
to be sure. But it would injure
other farmers. especially meat
growers. for If we eat more bread
we'll naturally eat less of something
else. However. bread is the best
bet. Highly n~ourishing. Few foods
are cheaper, which may be why
AmC-icans are eating less of it..

In the hope that an agricultural
code may be written and enacted into
law which Will meet the needs of
Alabama agriculture, Senator w. f.
Garth of Huntsville, chairman of the
recess committee on agriculture,
which will begin its work shortly
after the recess of the legislature to
day invited all citizens of Alabama to
cooperate with the committee in
it's efforts to make a study of the
states agricultural needs.
The purpose of the legislature in
adopting the resolution creating
this committee was to make
thorough study of the agriculture of
Alabama and its needs with a view
of improving our agriculture along
all lines and otherwise Fastening
progress in the development of our
agriculture in all of its phases" said
Mr.. Garth. These things We shall be
very carewul to do.
1--WE realize fully the Importance
of agriculture, that three-fourths of
our people live on farms and make
their living by filling the soil, but
in our work during the recess of the
legislature we shall proceed with
open minds and in making our con-
illusions we shall not be partisan but
keep in mind that all other interests
must be served along with agricul-
ture.
TT Is our intentions to begin our
