THE NEED OF BATHING BEACHES

What a blessing it would be to thousands of residents of Perth
Amboy and vicinity these hot days if the city had a real munich
pal park along the river with a bathing beach, recreation pier,
and other amusements.
The beaches that are run under private control here are en-
tirely inadequate for the demands made upon them. When the
people in such numbers are clamoring to get into the water, and
with a beautiful bay and river to battle IN, it is little short of a
crime to have that long stretch of beach from Catalpa avenue to
the railroad idle and useless.
When plans were first made for the Encouragement of the
sewers to conform with the elimination of the grade crossings,
the removal of the sewers at every street-end along the south
shore was included. Now, it is understood, this cannot be done
within the appropriation. But until the sewers are removed the
park and bathing beaches are impossible. If the aldermen made
their budget for the year ip summer instead of in the winter,
parks and recreation ealarz might EaGaixs more cansida atian

UNCLE SANS FINANCES
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

rowing of $500, 900, 900 without
driving up the rate on disturbing the
general trend of business has been a
difficult one but has been accom-
plished by Secretary Mellon.
Even the new borrowings are for
short periods for the Treasury ez-
poets the interest rate to continue lis
downward course. Before the war,
Government bonds could be sold at
interest rates as low as ga and 3
per cent. Such a period IS expected
to come again before many years
and Mr.. Mellon does not want to
have the Treasury tied up with long
obligations at high rates when this
time comes.
Short Term Loans
The money being borrowed now is
for periods running from one to five
years. The maturities are scattered
in such a way that no large sums will
fall due at the same time. 1t is mat
ter of juggling to the end that the
debt may be carried and intimately
discharged at the smallest possible
cost to the public.
One of the last large operations
was the refunding of the last of the
notes of the Victory Liberty Loan.
These fell due on May 20 last. They
amounted to $500, 1000, 900 and were
paid with new Az per cen notes due
in 1927. The other outstanding Vic
tory notes had been previously call
ed and paid off.
Not all the old Victories have come
in. Interest has stopped on them
and the holders should offer them
for redemption. They will be paid
in cash but no more interest will be
paid on the old notes.
Many holders of government bonds
want to keep their money invested,
no matter what the interest rate be-
ing paid by the Treasury. Such
bond or note holders can merely turn
in their old securities and receive
new ones for them. This amounts
to ~re-lending their money to the
Government for a new term of years.
A great deal of this sort of financing
is done. Also, some of the notes and
certificates of indebtedness issued by
the Government are acceptable in
payment of taxes. Suppose a COR
poration owes 81, 200, 900 in taxes. 1t
lacks the full amount of the cash TO
make this payment but has in its
safe deposit vault some Treasury GER
tificates of Indebtedness. 1t merely
turns these owe in payment of the
tax. The Government, by such an
operation, gets no cash but it antici-
pates payment for the securities
when they fall due.
The situation which has been
brought about by the last two years
financing has put the Treasury in 3
favorable position. The Government
Actuary recently made a special re-
port to Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon showing that, at existing
rates, neXt years taxes will run oven
) $4,000 600, 600. This is more none
than the Government will need t
meet its expenses, in view of the
budget economies which have beer
effected, unless Congress-, shoulC
enact a soldier bonus bill. Thil
means, therefore, that tax rates car
come down and the President is ex,
pected to propose to Congress, at th'
next session, a tax revision bill which
will reduce rates.

The cunning mother bird, in the accompanying pen
picture by Artist Satterfeld, fears. that the intruding man
will injure her young ones. (she has, reasons for apprehen-
sion, all right)
To entice the man away before he finds her nest, the
wise mother, bird throats plaintively and feigns a limp,
Excellent acting. To watch her you'd think she had a broken
wing and a strained leg. With the psychology of the stage
hypnotist, she keeps the mans eyes on herself-to make
him forget the nest. +.
"Im a fine, plump bird, good eating, and injured, SO
ITl be easy to catch % she seems to say.
But deity she manages to keep just out of reach until
the intruder is at a safe distance from her nest. Then she
rustles up and whirs away through the brush-in the oppo-
site direction from her nest. More strategy. She'll circle
and return.
In this pictured incident, you see the working of the
great force, mother love, which is as close to the spiritual as
man can get in this material word.
Cynics jest as the mother hokum" resorted to by writers
of stage melodramas. 1t always is sure-ine as an applause
getter, because reciprocal love for mother is one of our basic
instincts. The cynics label it as a platitude. Like most
plattude, it is concentrated truth.
Self.sacrifce of mother love goes to amazing extents.
In some branches of the scorpion family, the mother carries
her young on her back and allows them to eat her.
One lesson of all this: Go to nature for the great truths
and marvels. Alone in the woods, if thoughtful, you learn
more about life than you can from books.

THE REFEREE
tBy b e Apple,

A lot of our fairy tales and nur-
sery jingles are reall yhistorie, in
that they are exaggerated from a
basis of facts. Mother Goose was a
real person. name Mary Gooce,
buried in Boston. She wrote her
rhymes for her grandchildren. Her
son, a crafty printer, published them
for other children.
Latest discovery is that Little Jack
Horner was also a real person. He
lived in England about $50 or more
years ago. His home-purchased by
one of his ancestors, Sir John Hor-
ner-will be sold at auction. It's the
Mells estate, in Somersetshire, 60OC
acres. Most interesting real estate
deal of 1928.

erything eventually.

Considering the trouble any one
would have passing" a $1,000 bill
this particular counterfeiter is about
the last word in ambition. How
ever, he got rid of at least one, but
had to send it to England. On this
job he devoted tinlo and ability
that would have been worth five Oh
more times as much, applied to a
legitimate pursuit. That's the fall
lacy of "succcssful' crime.

SPOKANE'S Big DAILY
TELLS ABOUT MOSCOW

Sundays Spokesman-Review devot-
ed practically a page to compre-
hensive, nicely illustrated write-ur
of Moscow and it's resources. The
article was the work of Dan c. Batch
elor, special representative of the
Spokesman-Review, who spent sew
eral days in Moscow recently secur-
ing data. The article portrays the
resources of Latah county and
touches on the University of Idaho,
the various manufacturing industries
of the city, the churches, and schools,
the banks and a number of other
business interests. Two views of
Main street are shown, besides the
administration building of the Uni
versity of Idaho, the high school
building, Federal building, Davids'
department store, First Trust and
Savings bank, Gritman hospital and
Methodist Episcopal church.
It is needless to say that the peo-
pie of the community were pleased
with the story, which had been an
nounced in advance, and many hun
dreds of copies of the Spokesman
Review were sold in the city, and
will be sent broadcast over the coun-
try to friends and relatives of Mos
cow people. The story and the il
lustrations show Moscow for what it
is-the business and educational CEN
ter of one of the richest districts in
the entire northwest.
