WHY NOT WORK FOR PEACE EVERYWHERE?
H. O. Wells, the noted author who is “covering” the
Washington Disarmament conference for tlie New York
World, in discussing the work that lies ahead says: D
America can be interested in Kwangtung, I don’t see why
America should not also be interested in Silesin, or Cilicia.
< r Senegal, or the Congo, which are all very much nearer.
Mr. Wells might have added that if there can be no
objection to “entangling alliances” with Great Britain,
t rance and Japan for preserving the peace of the Pacific, on
what ground can there be objection to a similar alliance to
preserve the peace o^Kurope? And if we are willing to join
with two or three other nations to prevent wars in certain
parts of the world why should we hesitate to become asso
ciated with all the leading nations in the interest of peace
everywhere?
Yes, America’s “splendid isolation.” about which we
beard so much during the debate on the Versailles treaty,
is a piece of fiction and those who favored the ratification ot
the peace treaty including the covenant of the League of
Nations, have known it from the beginning. America can no
more remain isolated from the rest of the world today than
she can dry up the Atlantic ocean. All the fallacies and de
ceptions made during the debate against the League of Na
tions are now being brought out.
The United States cannot afford to refuse to ratify the
treaty that has been adopted at the Washington convention
for the preservation of peace in the Pacific for the next ten
years. It is a step in the right direction. But it is only a
step. Having gone thus far. why hesilate longer to go the
whole way and have a part in the preservation of the peace
of the world?
NO SPLITTING HAIRS OVER GAS
It is to be hoped that the Perth Amboy Gas Light Com
pany is not going to split hairs over giving gas consumers of'
this vicinity the benefit of the reduction in price that has
been made by the Elizabethtown Gas Light Company with
which the local company is so closely affiliated. The new
rate in Elizabeth went into effect December 10. The direc- j
tors of the Perth Amboy company meet on December 21.
Officials of the local company say they “may” receive notice
of tlje reduction in time to discuss the matter at that meeting.
It is a well known fact that the control of the two
companies is in the some hands. \\ hat one company does
thebfher knows all about without the formality of an official
notification.
At the close of the hearing before the Public Utility
Commission when the Elizabethtown Gas Light Company
voluntarily reduced the price of gas, the attorney for that
company told the representatives of the city of Elizabeth
that hereafter when the city had any grievances against
I he gas company to get in touch with the company direct
first before referring the matter to the Public Utility Com
mission so that the differences might be adjusted, if possible,
without the necessity of long, drawn-out hearings before
ihe state board.
That is just what Perlh Amboy has in mind now. An ap
peal is being made direct to the Perth Amboy Gas Light Com
pany to give the local consumers the benefit of the reduc
iion that the Elizabethtown company has put into etTect
which reduction must necessarily effect the local company
because much of the gas sold by the Perth Amboy com
pany is secured from the Elizabeth company.
ACCOMMODATIONS AT THE POST OFFICE
A little more consideration for the public in the lobby,
of the post office would not be amiss at this busy season ot
the year. It is a time when many bundles are being sent,
packages are being registered and money orders taken out.
More or less writing hu« to lie done by the senders in tilling
out blanks, writing addresses and pasting stamps.
There are only three desks in the post office-lobby and
one of these is in the dark part of the corridor the farthest
away from the register window. At best two people can use
these desks at a time. Thus there is accommodation for but
six persons. And when two of these have to do their writing
in the dark it is decidedly inconvenient, to say the least
Our post office facilities aro insufficient for the cilyV
needs at the present time. And this applies to normal condi
tions as well as to the present Christmas rush. It seems
the government rates the post offices according to the amount
of business done, which means out-going mail, particularly
the amount of stamps sold. As long as many of our leading
industries buy all of their postal supplies, especially their
stamps, in New York or other cities where their main of
fices are locaied, so long will the post office at Perth Amboy
suffer. If all the local industries could be persuaded to do
their local business through the Perth Amboy post office
tife city would benefit thereby in the way of better facilities.
But in the meantime it would seem as if more ac
commodations might be furnished the public in the post
office lobby for the next week or ten days while the present
rush is on. A table or two placed in the corridor would help
i» emcndously.
GUILTY
In a Detroit court, the judge was about to sentence a
young man for larceny. The youth's mother stepped for
ward and, assuming probation responsibility, said, “I spoiled
him as a child. I, not he, am to blame. I should pay the
penalty.”
Parenthood is the most serious responsibility that
comes into anyone’s life.
The neglected child, later a failure or a criminal, can
- is la idler or mother for his predicvnent.

THE LURE OF SOME PLACE ELSE
Daily Fetter by Frederic •!. Haskin
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18:—The
South Sea Islands and the Orient are
just now enjoying a tremendous
popularity among persons who have
never been there.
The South Sea Island craze was
started by a book which described
in the most luscious language that
paradise of eternal summer, of easy
living, of few clothes, and no re
straints, and of beautiful native
maidens who fell in love with white
men on sight, and knew little or
nothing about marriage.
The material for this hook, it Is
said, was supplied by a man who
had spent some years in the islands,
but the luscious writing was done by
a clever woman who had never been
to tlie islands at all. The book was
quickly followed by other books by
the same author and by others.
Boats bound for the South Seas be
gan to be packed with tourists.
Then came the inevitable reaction.
The wanderers found that the South
Sea Islands were just about like
Florida, California, or any other
winter resort country. They found
that instead of lying around and
picking up breadfruit whenever they
got hungry, they had to pay $12 a
day at the hotels. Instead of caper
ing naked on coral strands, they had
to dress for dinner. There weren't
nearly enough beautiful native mai
dens to go around. As for the cli
mate, It was nice for a while, but no
tropical climate agrees with a white
man for very long at a stretch.
In a word the tourist found that
the hard realities of human life
dogged him even to the South Sea
Islands, and that the books had
been mostly fairy talcs. So many
were the disappointed tourists that a
literature poking fun at the South
Sea Islands has sprung into being.
Many magazine articles have been
w ritten to that tune, and now a book
is out which is a parody of all other
books that told about the irresponsi
ble delights of the South Seas.
This remedy has been played over
again. The South Seas have leaped
into sudden popularity time after
time, dnd then have been forgotten
again. Robert Louis Stevenson gave
them a run some years ago, and be
fore that. Herman Melville set men
to hankering after breadfruit and
tropical warmth and beautiful cop
per-colored datnsels.
Places that Aren't
Of course, what the writers de
scribe, and what the readers hanker i
after ami often go in search of, is:
not the South Sea Islands as they
really are, but a purely Imaginary
realm which will give play to all of
the longings which they cannot sat
isfy at home. These periodic crazes
about strange faraway Arcadies are
simply evidence of tl.e fact that
most men are only he If satisfied by
the reality ar.d so live largely in
their dreams. This craving for some
place else is chiefly interesting as
revealing the unsatisfied longings of
men. The South Sea Islands are by
no means the only popular never
never land. The Orient Is another
one which has a spell of popularity
every- few years. It, too, is having
one just now. A series of spectacu
lar plays, purporting to describe life
in i he Orient, have had a great suc
cess. Several books of the same
character have been best-sellers, and
the movies as usual have followed
suit.
It is Interesting to note that this
Imaginary Orient +ias almost exactly
the same essential features as the
imaginary South Sea Island. In this
Orient of the screen and the stage
it is once more always summer, once
more people are shown leading easy
unrestrained lives, and once more
the unclad damsel of emancipated
morals is the leading feature of the
scene.
These colorful portrayals of an
easy idle life, lull of excitement and
desire, devoid of hard work and
clothes, draw enormous crowds of
typical Americans, who work hard
every day in the week and often go
to church on Sunday, who lead lives
of routine and restraint, in the most
law-ridden land on earth, and who
are easily scandalized by any sug
gestion of immorality In the lives of
their neighbors.
Things Men Crave
Is there any thing strange in their
liking for these pictures and books
and plays, which describe life as a
tiling of freedom, adventure and
lust? Nothing at all. In each of
those worthy citizens is buried a
subliminal self that longs for just
those things, and the preposterous
books and pictures give him a sort,
of vicarious satisfaction.
These books and plays and pic
tures, then, are above all a diagnosis
of civilized life in America. They
show what it lacks by showing what
the man who Is living it instinctively
craves. And the things which he
craves invariably are less work, less
restraint, more adventure, more
freedom, and especially more free
dom In the matter of love.
The Instinct of the average man
as to what is the matter with his
life is probably right. Most people
doubtless do work too hard, and
above all they work too monotonous
ly. They do the same things over
and over again untU those things
become meaningless.' There is not
enough of change and excitement in
their lives. There is not enough to
feed their Imaginations and develop
their emotions. Most people, too, are
not satisfied in love.
So far the average man Is right.
He knows what he wants, even if he
won't admit it, or at least he feels
what he wants even if he doesn't
know it. The books he reads, the
pictures and plays he goes to see
are his confession of longing and
aspiration.
Where he is wrong is In supposing
that if he could just go to some far
away place all would be different.
As a matter of fact, life is amazingly
similar wherever you go. You can
satisfy your longings in a measure
anywhere if you are strong and clever
enough, and if you are not. the odds
are dfiainst you on a South Sea
Island no less tljan on the Island of
Manhattan.
Salvation for any man Is not flight
to some far-away place where the
game is easier, hut in a careful
study of the environment about him.

BOLTING MEALS
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL
” —=
BY DR. K. H. BISHOP
“Sunday is the only day I get time
to eat a square meal.” You’re heard
this said many a time. In laot you
stool at <vpI]b’S?Dt tn b-HRDLU
yourself probably have said the same
thing. i .
It is quite common for the busy
man—almost everyone is busy even
these days at meal times—to rush
into a quick lunch “joint,” sit on a
stool at the counter and bolt a meal.
This, of course, leaves plenty of
time to do something else during the
lunch period.
Then on Sunday, the above de
scribed busy man eats a feast. He
stuffs and stuffs and feels so heavy
and drowsy afterward that he must
snatch a little nap.
These busy men always have in
*-■ ■■■ _'I
digestion, and small wonder!
The man who does not give his
stomach a square deal will show it.
He will usually becomfi anaemic
looking or gain too much weight.
Four simple rules to remember
about eating will go a long way to
ward keeping one fit:
1. Eat at regular hours and not
between meals.
2. Do not bolt the food but chew
it well. Remember that the stomach
has no teeth.
3. Do not eat when excited or
angry, as at such times the stomach
has difficulty in digesting the food.
4. Food should not be “washed
down” with water, coffee or milk.

THE BOSTON TEA PARTY
BY PR. W. E. BARTON
Perhaps you do not care for an
[ niversarles but if you do you will
bo interested in the fact that 118
years ago tonight on Thursday eve
ning, Dec. tt, 1773, u group ot men
disguised as Indians boarded three
ships laden with tea. then lying in
Boston harbor, and broke open the
chests, 343 in number, and threw
the tea into the ocean.
In memory of that event, and of
I the festive and patriotic crowd who
thus mingled their patriotism with
I merriment, it would be in order to
night to put the kettle on and have
a mild cup of Oolong, wrhlch cur
fathers called Bohea.
Viewed from this distance it may
I seem a trivial matter but old John
Adams did not think so. In his {
diary he called it, "The most magni- |
ficent movement of all." He said—j
"There is a dignity, a majesty, a |
solemnity in this last effort of the '
patriots that I greatly admire. This I
destruction of the tea is so bold, so j
daring, so firm, so intrepid and so
flexible and it must have so im-'
portant consequences and so lasting
that I cannot but consider it as an i
epoch in our history."
He was right about It. The Boston
Tea Party was one of the Important
steps leading up to the American
Revolution und the freedom of the
colonies.
The issue over which this event
occurred is now remote and it is not
necessary to go into historic details
nor to recall much of literary com
ment..
There Is, however, one lesson
which law-making powers might all
consider In every generation and
tt.at Is that the revenues necessary
to the support of the government
should be so levied and distributed
as to yield the necessary funds
ulth the least practicable discomfort
and resentment.
The tax on tea was a trivial thing,
and may seem n t worth the fi'33
and bother it caused. But It was an
irritating tax, and it failed In bo.li
requisites ns n laudable tax; It yield
ed no income worth while and It ir
ritated the people to the point of
rebellion. The causes of the Bos
ton Tea Party should be studied by
all law-makers In the primer of
taxation.

AROUND THE WORIiD IN SEVEN NEW YEARS
"The American Is apt to regard
his New Year as THE New Year.
Had he a penchant for celebrating
holidays ho could travel in a more or
less leisurely way around the world,
and in the course of the year could
participate in six or seven New Year
festivities, adding a couple of Christ
mas celebrations for good measure,"
according to a bulletin from the
Washington, D. C. headquarters of
the National Geographic Society.
"Our American might start his
progri esive holiday jaunt by going
to Borne western European country
for the approaching New Year which
the United State too will celebrate.
He could then travel to Greece,
Jugo-Slavia. Rumania, or Bulgaria
in lime for Christmas in these coun
tries. Christmas is also December
25 in the countries named, accord
ing to their calendars, but corres
ponds to January 7 in America.
Greeks Stick to Faulty Calendar
“In the meantime, the countries
In which the- Greek Church is domi
nant have refused to accept the
Georgian corrections and continue to
use the old style or Julian calen
dar. The difference, which was ten
days in 1582. has now Increased to
thirteen days.
"Soviet Russia has officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar for civil
purposes and the same step has been
taken by most of the Baltic States

Russian empire. The Gregorian or

to the commercial penetration of

the Ureat War, directly or indirect
ly, the wor d is now closer than at
any time in its history to having a
single, astronomically correct system
of measuring time.”
A Five Day Nev. Year Period In
China
“By remaining a week in the same
country he could also spend New
Year Day. called January 1, byt cor
responding with the American and
western Kuropean January 14. By
pushing 0:1 and making good con
nections he might be able to reach
Singapore, or by supplementing
steamers with airplanes could reach
China itself to take part in the most
thorough going New Year celebra
tion in the world the Chinese New
Year which will be observed in 1922
for the five days from about Febru
ary 8 to 13.
"After the Chinese New Year cele
bration the traveler coytld pursue
his holiday hunting less strenuous
ly for a while. could arrange to
arrive in Siam In time for the Sia
mese New Year on Abril 1, and af
terward could have five months of
sightseeing before reaching Arabia
for the Mohammedan New Year on
September 4. He could then cross I
the Red Sea and make a quick jour
ney into Abyssinia, to take part in
the New Year festivities of that
country on September 10. Return
ing tc the Red Sea and taking a
steame* north he could easily reach
Jerusalem In good time for the He
brew New Year, October 3.
"The holiday hunter would now
have taken part In alt the principal
New Year celebrations of the world
and could return to the Western
hemisphere to speru the Christmas
with which he is most familiar at
ids ov. n hearth side. In six days less
than a yeai he would have chalked
up seven New Year and two Christ
mas celebrations to his credit.
World’s Calendar* in a Tangle
“The world's multiplicity of New
Year Days and Christmastides is due
to the fact that our calendar is
largely an arbitrary device. The
eartli revolves around the sun in
363.2122 days, which makes the true
year a very odd measure of time.
And it Is almost as difficult to choose
a logical beginning for the year as it
is to find the starting point of a cir
cle. Different people have selected
different slartin.' points and have
also assumed the year to be of slight
ly different lengths. This has not
only resulted in Urn years beginning
at different times but has also caus
ed the times of beginning to vary
in their relations to one another
from year to year. It Is as thougii a
clock had half a dozen or more
hands all moving around the dial
from different starting points, at dlf
forunt cnniirl s
“Tho most logical starting points
for the year would seem to be sum
mer and winter solstices and the
spring and autumnal equinoxes; and
all of them have been made to mark
the beginnings of tho years In some
parts of tho world. Hhe Gregorian
calendar, that is now in use in the
United States and throughout most
of the Christian world. Is the Julian
calendar slightly modified. When
Julius Caesar caused It to be con
structed, tho beginning of the year
January 1, was placed seven days
after the winter solstice, and not In
conjunction with it as logic would
seem to dictate. The Julian year
was made, by means of the ‘leap
year* device, 365.25 days long, which
was an excess over the tjue year of
11 minutes and 14 sec^jj a. This
excess caused the nominal January
1 to creep gradually farther and
farther beyond the winter solstice
so that by the time of the Church
Council of Nice in 325, it was eleven
days beyond the solstice instead of
seven.
New Yenr Day Moving Toward
Summer
•‘By the time of Pope Gregory’s
correction in 1582, January 1 Was
21 days beyond the solstice and
Christmas 14 beyond. If the calen
dar remained uncorrected, New Year
day would have gone on creeping
forward, first into spring, then into
summer, and finally completely
axpnnd th< year.
“When the correction was made
the calendar was turned hack not to
its* original position in the time of
Julius Caesar, but to its place at
the time of the council of Nice. De
cember 25. which became Christmas,
then fell four days after the winter
solstice instead of coinciding with it
as Julius' Caesar intended; while
New Year Day was eleven days be
yond the solstice instead of Caesar’s
almost equady arbitrary seven. '
