THE NEED OF PLAYGROUNDS
With the selection of a supervisor of playgrounds for
the coming season preparations for an active summer may
be said to be well under way. The Recreation Commission
does not have much money to spend and consequently it is
not able to do a great deal, although there is hardly a city in
the country where there is a greater field for just such work
as right here in Perth Amboy.
The juvenile population of this city is above the aver
age. This is shown by the proportion of voting population
to the school population as compared with other cities of a
similar size and character. When it is realized that thess
boys and girls are the men and women of tomorrow and the
future of the city depends upon the way in which they are
trained today, the importance of clean sports and proper
recreation cannot be over-estimated.
As the city is built up and the streets paved the chil
dren aro more and more deprived of their inherited rights.
It is natural for a child to play. But where?
It has been necessary, recently, to call upon the police
5 to stop roller-skating. Soon it will be baseball with the
‘ usual quota of broken windows. The streets seem to be
; the only place for the children to play, yet they are not al
lowed to do anything in the street. Besides, with the con
' stantly increasing traffic there is grave danger to the young
lives as the frequency of accidents testifies.
Has not the city a great responsibility in this matter?
■ Realizing that it is natural and absolutely desirable that chil
dren should play and having deprived them of their usual
places for play, is it not the duty of the municipality to fur
nish convenient playgrounds in different parts of the city to
:,ii?T>oly this want?
Supervised play with clean sport in which the children
are made to respect (lie rights of each other and the older
ones taught to assist the younger make for clean manhood
and womanhood. Instead of deliberately driving the boys
to congregate in secluded spots to shoot crap or concoct
schemes that lead to lawlessness, would it not be better to
• appropriate sufficient funds every year to maintain real
’ playgrounds properly equipped so that the coming men and
women may grow up realizing that the government is inter
ested in them as well as in street pavements, sewers and
‘ grade crossings and other improvements?
We doubt if there is any investment made by the city
that will bring greater returns than the money set aside for
; playgrounds.
It is particularly pleasing this year to know that the
commissioners have selected a local man to supervise the
play. Arthur E. Emmons has the real Perlh Amboy atmo
sphere. He understands the field, not only because he has
been engaged in playground work here for the past summed;
or two, but because he has been brought here and is a Perth
Amboyan in every sense of the word. With his excellent!
training at the Springfield College he ought to come up to
every requirement. The children who look forward to real
fun and recreation on the playgrounds this summer will not
be disappointed.
KEEP BRIDGE FREE OF 8CANDAL
It is to be hoped that there is to be no scandal over the
building of the new Amboy bridge.
The spending of something like $4,000,000 of public
funds on a single structure is a great responsibility. It is
possible to make or break the reputation of those upon
whom this responsibility rests.
Up until a few days ago it was generally understood
that the plans for the bridge were practically completed, at
least it was supposed to have been designed and that sound
ings had been taken in the river bed to judge the character
of the foundations for the piers.
This, apparently, was the understanding of Commis
sioner Paddock, of Newark, who opposed hiring an addition
al engineer for other than services as consulting engineer.
It is rather surprising, to say the least, that at this late date,
wrben it was supposed that everything was in readiness to
proceed with the actual letting of the contracts, to have the
State Highway Commission begin to talk about designing the
structure, which is the very first thing to be considered.
The recognized fee for a designing and consulting en
gineer, according to standards of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, is six per cent, of the contract. This would
mean thBt the engineer would receive something like a quar
ter of a million dollars for his services alone, with the de
signing part of the services already performed unless the
work done by Charles A. Mead, the bridge engineer of the
State Highway Department, is to be thrown away.
Naturally, in a work of this kind engineering skill will
play an important part and the state is entitled to the best
services obtainable. Whatever is done, however, let it be
open and above-board. There ought not to be the
•lightest taint of suspicion anywhere.

END OF FINE FEATHERS
DESCRIBED BY HASKIN
Dally Letter by Frederic J. Haskln
NEW YORK CITY, April 24.—
! The plumage of the bird of paradise,
one of the loveliest and cruelist of
feminine adornments, is making
positively its last appearance in New
York millinery shops this season. In
another year, it is expected, it will
have completely disappeared, be
cause by that time it is going to be
dangerous to sell it. Consequently,
nearly everjj hat shop window in
the city now contains a gorgeous
display of paradise plumes, marked
down to bargain prices.
Because of the near extinction of
the bird of paradise species, the
Importation of paradise feathers was
forbidden in the tariff law of 1913,
but since that act neglected to place
any restrictions upon their sale,
they have continued to appear with
persistent regularity in the milli
nery market. The new tariff law,
however, contains the necessary re
strictions in an amendment which
puts on the dealer the burden of
proving his stock of feathers was in
this contry in or before 1913. Hence,
the present intense anxiety to dis
pose of their paradise feathers be
fore the act is put into effect.
Under the old law, it was the gov
vernment that had to supply the
proof which was impractical. About
the only way the federal authorities
could obtain a conviction was to
catch a smuggler in the act of bring
ing paradise feathers into the coun
try. Once they were here, they were
as safe as if they had been formally
passed by the customs officials. The
smuggler had no trouble in disposing!
of the feathers to a Jobber, who, In'
turn, sold them to department stores
or milliners, to whom he furnished
certificates and other data designed
to show that the merchandise had
been in the United States the requir
ed number of years. And, as the law I
did not question the good faith of{
dealers who bought feathers on the1
strength of these shaky certificates, |
neither could tho Federal District.
Attornoy.
oiiui ui riuun-»>
Thus, the smuggling of paradise
feathers into this country has been
proceeding briskly for the last nine;
years, during which time the milll-i
net y market has never been annoy- j
ed by a shortage. The demand for
the plumes, according to one dealer,!
is "as steady as that for diamonds," |
so that smugglers have always been |
able to dispose of their goods;
promptly. Most of the smuggling
has been carried on by seamen and 1
officers of merchant ships from the !
Mediterranean, who usually conceal
the feathers under their clothing.

All of the confiscated plumes, as

! turned over to the National Associa

has formed them into exhibits and

butions to science, the Audubon So
■ cieties, under the leadership of their
president. Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson,
have never ceased t« agitate for a
more effective law. Their only fear
that it would come too late—after
the last of the "Manukdewata”
(birds of the gods as they are called
in East Indian Islands, has fallen
victim to feminine fashions.
The birds are found in Papua,
New Guinea and certain parts of Af
rica, where they are easily slaugh
tered by the natives during the mat
ing season.
"Only the full grown male hird
has the gorgeous spread of feathers
which is coveted by commerce," ex
plains a New York dealer, who is
something of an authority on the
subject. "This is at its best during
the courting season when they hold
their annual dancing exhibits for the
benetlt of the less gorgeous but
highly prized females.
Males Hold Exhibition
“On this occasion, the male birds
dance and fly about, exhibiting their
attractions in a sort of competitive
examination while the females stand
silently by, eyeing them critically
and finally making a choice. During
this dancing party the birds are so
preoccupied and worried for fear
they won't be chosen that they lose
their natural caution, and are easily
picked off with blow-pipes by the
natives.
"It isn't necessary to kill the bird
Jn order to get their feathers, but is
usually more convenient. Lately,
since they have been growing so
scarce, they are frequently trapped
and released after the feathers have
been cut, so that a new spread can
be grown,
"Except at their dancing parties,
the birds of paradise are naturally
cautious and well able to protect
themselves. They have but few nat
ural enemies, but their families are
small, being limited usually to two
offspring per season, so that they in
crease but slowly. This is all the
more reason why they should be
protected from human deoreda
tions.”
The new tariff law will provide
this protection, at least so far as
this country is concerned. Accord
ing to Mr. Pearson, it will "end the
thirty-live year battle against the
slaughter of wild birds for milli
nery." A few feathers will he smug,
gled In and peddled from house to
house, as aigrettes are at present.
But for practical purposes the com
merce in forbidden feathers will be
at an end.
law Saved Gulls
An example of how legislation
may save a species threatened with
extinction is to be found in the case
| of the sea gull which, several years
! ago. was nearly wiped out of exis
tence by the demand of New York
milliners for feathers. All along the
I coast, gulls were slaughtered by the
thousands to supply the trade until
1 legislation was put into effect in the
I coastwise and Great Lake states, as
well as by the federal government,
making it a crime to kill a sea gull
or to destroy its eggs. As a result,
the species was no longer molested,
and now there are millions of sea
j gulls again to be seen along our
coast.
Experience has shown, moreover,
1 that public opinion regardin'- rhe
use of feathers is usually strongly in
fluenced by legislation. There Is.
! for instance, no longer much de
mand for the airgrette, although
J once enjoyed a tremendous popu
larity. The same is true of other
species which were formerly killed
with impunity in order to gratify the
feminine passion for Bne feathers.
Thus, back in 1886, Dr. Frank M.
Chapman. naturalist. walking
through the shopping district of New
Y'ork upon a spring afternoon, dis
covered and identified feathers from
robins, thrushee. blue birds, tanag
ers, warblers, wax wings, bololinks.

ers on women’s hats. Altogether he
was able to count at least forty dif
ferent species.
"This was a period," says Mr.
Pearson, "when people seemed to go
mad on the subject of wearing
birds and feathers. They were used
for feminine adornment In almost
every conceivable fashion. Here, for
1 example, are two quotations from
i daily papers of that date, the names
only being changed:
“ ’Miss Jones looked exceedingly
; well in white, with a whole nest ol
sparkling, scintillating birds in her
1 hair, which it would have puxzled
an ornithologist to classify.'

' relieved black, looped up with
i blackbirds. A winged creature sc

Today, these society notes arc
more likely to excite mirth than in
! dignation, yet they were written less
than forty years ago. So faat does
public opinion change—who knows?
—perhaps in a few more years, the
I vogue for paradise plumes, which
l has almost annihilated a whole
' glorious species, may also seem lest
. tragic than ridiculous.

Tom Claimant, proprietor of the
men's best furnishing store in Fair
mont .naked Kllen Young. Doctor of
Sales, this question: "l>o you believe
it is good pulley for a retailer to buy
from sever.^J houses or to nave deal
ings with in few as possible?"
"i think ha fewer concerns a buyy
er deals with, the better oil' he is."
replied Kllen Young directly. "J
have talked to bankers on this sub
ject and they tell me that one of the
hrst things they study in considering
a store's application for a loan Is the
number of houses he buys from. Of
course, in carrying varied lines such
as you do in a men's furnishing store,
you necessarily buy from many dif
ferent makers of different lines, but
other things being equal, f believe it
is far better to concentrate In buy
ing."
You mean that the bankers pre
fer to see s retailer dealing with a
few houses?"
"Yes. You see there is usually no
reason why a dealer should demand
credit from many different concerns.
If his credit with a few were good.
One often feels that a dealer who
makes small purchase with many
concerns and gets credit from all. Is
necessarily worried about his credit
or has been refused credit by some
houses. This is not always the case;
there are many exceptions. But I
know that from a financial view
point it is considered far better busi
ness to deal with as few houses as
possible.
iou see. Ellen Yount" contin
ued. as Mr. Claimant listened In
tently, "when you, as a buyer, con
centrate your purchases among a
few wholesale houses you get to be
known. If your account Is good and
steady, you are one of those who
share in the benefits. Naturally,
wholesalers give special privileges
only when there are special bargains
special merchandise to be cleared
out, with advantage to the buyer.”
"And I think the public gets ac
customed to certain lines if you just
carry a few,' 'suggested Claimant.
"That's true. You find It far more
easy to sell a few lines than many"
different ones. Then, here's another
point: There are many special dis
count privileges, special prices given,
extra dating, and other advantages
to good, steady customers. One
cannot blame a wholesaler for cul
tivating good accounts with such fa
vors. That is one argument in favor
of concentrated buying It secures
the buyer many extra concessions.”
"Extra credit. I suppose that's the
most Important to the retailer," sug
gested Claimant.
“It certainly is. When an account
is well known to a certain house,
when a retailer has been paying his
bills regularly and suddenly finds
himself unable to meet his payments
promptly, you can rest assured, If
he has been a good customer, the
wholesaler Is going to be lenient
with him. Is going to carry his ac
count and give whatever credit is
needed. On the other hand, if a
buyer deals with eight or nine dif
ferent houses, has small purchases
with them, he is neither well known
nor well regarded. Then, when he
does need some extra privileges and
concessions, he cannot very well go
to these bouses because his account
may not be Important enough for
them to bother with. He cannot
demand or expect extra conces
sions."
'lorn Claimant was thoroughly con
vlnced of Ellen Young's suggested
policy.
"Oh, I can't take a vacation.”
Emanuel Merritt told Ellen Young.
"I've got to keep my business run
ning . How would it get along?"

nr* indispensable in their Jobs. Ellen
l'oung gives some very sound sugges.
tions in tomorrow's paper.

nusliuws Questions Answered
In extremely large concerns with
many different branches and hun
dreds of different departments, do
you consider it a good policy for all
deparmental employes to know each
other? I can name one very large
nationally known concern that does
not consider it good policy to have
employes of one department meet
those of another. It will hold a
convention, say. of all salesmen in
the different branches, but seldom
does it consider it good policy to
have salesmen meet with production
tiepartntencs, and so on.
ORGANIZER.
Personally, I believe it !• permis
sible to have departmental employes
meet, although, as you say, I can
cite very well known houses that
do not consider it advisable. I have
always been an advocate of frank
ness in all business relations and I
think that preventing contact of this
kind often puts thoughts and sus
picions. unfounded ones in the
minds of those who are prevented
from meeting employes of other de
partments.

j DELICIOUS FOODS
If you work sitting at a desk all day, you should eat more
meat than the man who saws wood or carried a hod.
Who says sot Dr. Thomas M. Carpenter, physiological
chemist of a Boston nutrition laboratory.
The desk worker, Carpenter says, needs more meat to
keep him warm. Thus he artificially secures the necessary
heat which the hod-carrier and wood-sawer generate l>y mus
cular effort
The Carpenter line of thought is that food, iu the lot
analysis, bears the same relation to the body that coal docs
to a furnace. Heat the ultimate objcet.
Can a stenographer live on chocolate sundaes and candy.’
Some of them come close to demonstrating it in the affinnu
' tive.
Back of all this is heavy science, expounded by Dr. Car
penter, as follows:
A normal stenographer, during the course of a duy, use*
up 2222 calories. That is the average. The girl who types
by the touch system needs fewer calories than the typist who
attacks the keys like a chicken picking up corn, and accord
ingly should eat less.
Gum chewing uses up a terrinc amount or energy, which
requires heavier eating than in the case of a chicle abstainer.
A lunch consisting of a chocolate sundae and some candy,
furnishes the typist 1500 calories, or more than a third as
much as a hard-working carpenter requires daily.
Topping off this interesting discourse, Dr. Carpenter flg
ures scientifically that a sundae, if thoroughly absorbed by
the system, has a calorific heating power sufficient to raise a
ton of coal three stories.
While it might be wise for people without cast-iron stom
achs to take some of this food science with a grain of salt, it
recently was expounded as gospel by Dr. Carpenter before the
Harvard Medical School.
The important fact is that scientists are finally begin
ning to get at “original truth” in the matter of diet, and that
some of the accepted notions about food values may be due
for an explosion.
Until the investigation is nearer completion, a good ayer
• age rule is to keep in mind the old saying that most of us dig
our graves with our teeth.
