LET THE YOUNG MEN TAKE HOLD

The need of a Chamber of Commerce or similar organization
in Perth Amboy is becoming more apparent every day. Within
the last few years several large concerns seeking suitable manu-
featuring sites have considered Perth Amboy and then gone else
where. One Of these employs thousands of skilled men at good
wages. Had they located here it would have meant a material
increase in population and income.
Why did they decide against this city, Several reasons were
given. including the attitude of the city government, past and
present, towards manufacturers already here; the high cost OF
land, etc. However, it is probable that the real reason was the
lack of concerted effort on the part of our citizens to show the
advantages of Perth Amboy and failure to display real desire to
welcome and assist those manufacturers who contemplate locating
here.
This work can be successfully done by organization and in no
and Boards of Trade. While they were not perfect and received
more or less criticism, they did a lot of good work.
Perhaps the difficulty in maintaining these bodies in the past
has been due to faulty organization. The custom of holding cam
paigns and dragging members in at so much per head whether
they were interested or not is wrong. Why not have a new kind
of organization in this city. Start with a few members who are
thoroughly loyal Perth Amboy Boosters. Make it exclusive by
admitting only those who believe in and are willing to work forI
she future Of this city. Keep out the knockers and have no
Factions. Then join with the Industrial Association in working
flor a greater Perth Amboy.
Let the younger business and professional men take the lead
as officers with the older men assisting. Give Perth Amboy the
-Ert 100 per cent. civic organization of its kind.
Who will take the lead?

THE DRUG EVIL

The widow of a motion picture actor who recently died after
an unsuccessful attempt to break the grip of drug addiction has
been publishing a series of Exposures with the professed intent
to fight the drug evil. Now i IS announced that she has received
more than a score of death threats written by addicts.
First reactions may suggest that the death threat story is
a press agents yarn. However that may be, it is worth while to
recognize that the attitude of the addict toward anything or any
one threatening to restrict the source of supply is one of despera-
ton. 1t is not so generally believed, nevertheless, that the despe-
ration of the narcotic addict is motiyated by disease rather than
by inherent OF acquired criminaity.
An interesting discussion Of narcotic addiction has been writ
ten for the last number of Current History by a medical authority.
The point made here is that most of the narcotic addcts, estimated
at a million in the United States, have come into their sorry con-
dition as a result of attempts to relieve suffering by medical adj
ministraton. The theory is that, when considerable quantities Of
drug are given to quiet pain, the body builds up a defense
against the poison of the drug, When, in turn, the use Of the drug
is discontinued the defense built up by the body becomes in itself
an active irritant, causing excrueiating physical fortunes that can
he relieved only by a fresh intervention of the original drug.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25-When
East meets West what happens?
Sometimes one thing and sometimes
another, as these two stories wit

Recently there appeared in court
here a Chinese woman, truly ORR
entail in manner, be-panted costume
and jade ornamentation.
With true Chinese passivity, she
declared she wanted a divorce from
her husband.
upon what grounds?" asked the
judge.
My husband no good now" she
replied. HE go see other women,
he drink much bootleg, he spend all
our money, he come home only once
in awhile. He Just like Mclean
husbands"
But the other story. from Los
Angeles, tells of East that didn't
meet West.
A Japanese woman was taken
from the quarter where her coun-
trymen live to the emergency hos
pital. Her tongue was badly cut,
almost severed.

Ships once sailed in from a wet
ocean to a wetter San Francisco
waterfront.
Wherever sailors gathered they
told wild tales of the Embarcadero
"hangouts," and The honky-tonk at
fractions of the Barbary Coast.
Ooped drinks and shanghaiing, wo-
men who smiled and betrayed, rob-
berry and wholesale fighting were all
in the days or nights pleasure.
Now the Barbary Coast has sur
rendered to Volsteadism and ware-
houses are building where once
bars and dance halls reigned.
And the waterfront, theoretically
bona dry, remembers the old days
mostly by a few names still decorat-
ing dilapidated buildings-The Ar
rival Saloon, The Sailors Rest. The
Bulkhead Saloon.
But there is one bar that will re-
main, a memorial to Jack London,
as long as its present owner lives.
This is the First and Last Chance
Saloon" standing near the dividing
2ne between Oakland and Alameda.
Its owner, Familiarity known as
Old Johnny Heinhold, b~efriended
Jack London, then a penniless and
hungry boy of IA, and financed his

career.

@. Does the temperature affect a
bullet causing it to. go lower or high
er?-J. r.
A. The National Rifle Association
says that the temperature only af=
fects the flight of the bullet as 1t
affects the density of the atmosphere
through which the bullet travels. A
bright sun or a cloudy day really af-
fects the eyes of the shooter more
than it influences the flight of the
bullet, so different sights are neces-
sary in varying conditions.
O.. How much does an American
passport cost IA. Mem.
A. IT costs $1,000. However, 1t
must be vised for each country in
which it is to be used and vises vary
In price. A British wise, for in
stance, costs $1,000.
Q. What was the famous formula
of Jeremy Taylor for judging a min
lister G. H.
A. The formula of this old time
saint was-in judging a young min
lister observe the carpet in front of
the mirror in his dressing room and
the knees Of his trousers. If the for
mer is worn and frayed and the lat
ter immaculate, pray for him; if the
pattern in the former is bright and
unworn and the latter t~headbare and
shiny, ask him to pray for you.
Q. Where is the oldest copper
mining company in the world ?-K.
i, K.
A, This distinction is claimed by
the Great Copper Mining Company,
of Falun, Sweden, whose letterheads
read FOUNDED 1925 A. d." This
company is said to have been operat-
ing continuously since that period,
and produced $4,000, 600 tons of ore
and SOC. 900 tons of pure copper in
the period.

Weather
Holland has been sweltering in
the hottest weather it has had since
1887. The heat wave struck other
European countries at about the
same time,
Only a few months ago many
scientists were predicting that 1928
would be "a year without a sum
mer." 1t certainly looked that way
during the cold, late spring.
But summer is on the job, as
usual. 1t is typical of conditions and
situations generally in u nervously
apprehensive world: We are con-
stantly fearing a calamity or crisis
that never arrives.

ary-nightmares of fear.

ladder. More accidents result from 1t
than from any other cause. Repeat-
eddy we have campaigns for moro
care in the matter of autos and fires
But did you ever hear of q Safety
First campaign in the use of lad
ders?
Mortgaged
More than 1884 million dollars
worth of new stocks and bonds were
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change in the first six months OF
1923. These stocks and bonds rep-
resent mortgages on part of our na=
tional wealth. About rs years of new
financing at this rate would blanket
the entire national wealth with a
mortgage of 100 cents on the dollar.
There's a big start in that direc-
ton already. Around 81 billion dol
lars worth of stocks and bonds al
ready are listed on the New York
Exchange and, in addition, about
100 million shares of nc par value.
Include stocks and bonds listed on
other exchanges, or not listed at all,
and you wonder if the national
wealth already isn't mortgaged al
most to its full limit.
Busy
The railroads wound up Junesby
moving more cars of freight in one
week than in any previous week in
history. 1t is important, that the
roads in June handled with ease
more traffic than caused the big a
shortage of 1920, and still had $4,000
surplus idle freight cars at the end
of June. The Importance of this is
that business booms usually are
started toward stagnation by a
freight car shortage. The transport
tation situation never was more
favorable than now.
Gain
Don't be too concerned about the
slump in our foreign trade. In the
IL months ended June 80. exports
from our country totaled 1856 mill
lion dollars. This was 1876 million
dollars more than in the previous
IL months. While increased prices
probably absorbed this gain, it's
comforting to know that we're just
about holding our own despite the
continued economic chaos in Eu-
rope.

BIG FAMILIES

The Ormsby bankruptcies, who became nationally famous
as dime museum attractions in 1902, still are living. 1t is said
by authorities that this is the only case of all four members OF
a quadruple birth surviving into maturity:
Their mother, Mrs. Josephine K. Ormsby, is farming at
the outskirts of Chicago.
She was 26 years old when she married Charles Ormsby,
plumber, in 1894. Her children came as follows;
1854 boy.
1896-Twins.
1897-A girl.
9S-TWin
1S99-Triplets.
1900-A boy.
1901-Quadruplets.
Fourteen children in seven years The bankruptcies con-
sisted Of three sons and a daughter. They packed the dime
museums for a couple of years and thereby brought consider
able wealth to their mother.
The birth of a baby girl to Mrs. Mary j. Barton OF Kelly
vile. N. H.. recently made her the mother of 20 children. at
the age of 45.
You don't often hear of such big families in our genera
ton. In grandfather's day, a family of 20 children would not
have attracted much attention, for a perusal of the average
family Bible will disclose that five OR six children were consid-
cred a small family in Civil War times and, while offspring
totaled 20 only occasionally, II to II children were not at all
uncommone =.
Big families are getting fewer as the years slip by. The
mother Of 20 children is almost as much OF q curiosity IN
1923 as the Ormsby auadruplets were IN l9ol:
There'd be plenty of 20children families, however, II the
economic pinch were not quite so tight, though Lemuel H..
Barton, farmer-father of the big New England family, says ne
finds it as easy to take of 20 as of 5.
Proudly he points out that il every family had ~ children
orr communities would have a great increase IN populauon.
They certainly would. There are about 20 million families IN
America. and if each had 20 children our population would
he around 40 millions-four times as big as it is now. How
ever, we IL have that population, and more, in time,

June 1885, the French vessel, Isere,
from Rouen, France, landed the
statue at New York in 210 packing
cases: the work of putting the parts
together was begun in May 1886, and
the statue was unveiled on October
2S, 1886.
O. Is the quotation 1.-The Lord
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb"
taken from the Bible ?-J. r. w.
A. 1t is not found in the Bible.
1t is in a book named THE Sentt-
mental Journey by Lawrence Sterne,

fury.
O. How much money has the
Government spent in cooperation
with various States In road building?
II. l.. Y.
A. Since July IL, 1915, Congress
has authorized Federal aid road con-
struction in sums aggregating $780,
100000. Not all of this has actual
ly been appropriated, however. for
three items of fifty, sixty-five and
seVenty-five millions were authorize
tiens for the fiscal years ending in
1928, 1924 and 1925 and of these the
actual appropriation as yet is but
$54, 300,O 600. At the close of the
calendar year 1922 the Government
had actually expended S1S9,227,428
on completed roads and its allotment
for roads under construction at that
time amounted to S14s,663,76S.
@. Where car l attend an open
