The Buena Vista hotel on Sec­ond avenue, which has been en­larged and rebuilt, is being put in shape for opening on June 26 With its completion it takes first rank among the hotels in the shore resorts. Nature bestowed up this particular spot advanta­ges which no other town on tlie entire New Jersey coast can boast of and all that Belmar has stood in need of to give it the prestige it should have has been better and larger hotels. With the rebuilding of the New Co­lumbia three years ago this need was only partially taken carc cf and it is indeed gratifying that George W. Leonard, owner of tlie Buena Vista is a man who believes so thoroughly in a bright future for Belmar that he was willing to expend a vast sum of money in building a house which is second to none in attractiveness and convenien­ces and onc which will bring to our doors a very desirable class of people. This is indicated by the number and class of book­ings which have

Expense Will Be Assumed byTaxpayers Protective Associ­ation of Eleventh Avenue-

Several persons representing a recently formed organization, the Property Owners’ Protective

; Association of Eleventh avenue, were present at a meeting of the Mayor and Council Tuesday

i night and made an appeal a- : gainst permitting dancing in the j Tenth avenue pavilion. The ap­peal which was in writing was read by Benjamin Farrier. It declared that if a dance hall was permitted it would bring to it

> an undesirable class of people and the presence of such crowds would necessitate extra police that the congregating of auto­mobiles would endanger traffic

J and the statement was made that more accidents had occurr­ed at this point than anywhere in Belmar. It averred that the type of music would be a nuis­ance, that the structure was not

j strong enough to permit large ! crowds to assemble in the build­ing and that should an accident occur the borough would be li-

i able. The appeal also requested that the pavilion be removed at the close of the summer sea­son and the statement was made that with a pavilion at Fifth ave­nue, Tenth avenue was not the proper geographical location for another but that instead such a building should be erected some­where between Fourteenth and Sixteenth avenues.

Dr. H. B. Costill supplemented the reading of the petition with a few statements in which he said that the Eleventh avenut association was formed primari­ly for that section of the bor­ough but that it was not intend­ed to be exclusive and that the members did not come to the meeting to register a “kick” and make complaint but that there was one tiling which had come so directly personal to his home that day that he wished to call

I attention to it. A resident of Twelfth avenue, probably thoughtlessly started a fire to bum rubbish, which spread and badly burned the hedge on the r^ r of his lot and ran so close io his garage that had it not been

: for persons present who got out a hose the garage would have burned and possibly bis house and other buildings. He said that this was the second or third time that the fire department had been called out because of fires being started in this same place.

Continuing Dr. Costill said that the desires of the associa­tion were self evident and neces­sary; that the members of the organization were familiar with general conditions in the bor­ough and of how the Mayor and Council received no remunera­tion for their services, yet were responsible, and the burdens had been carefully looked after though interfering with the per­sonal duties of the members of council. He suggested that if at all feasible to designate some competent person to devote his entire time to looking after tlie interests of the borough during the present summer, the associ­ation would be willing to remun­erate for the services of any such man the Mayor might select.

Mayor Van Note stated that council had given a lot of time to attending to the duties which had come to that body. This has been true of former councils and particularly true of tho pres­ent one, but that lie gave credit for what has been accomplished in the past two or three years to the committees who have done that which they have been called upon to do. The Mayor stated that the request of the associa­tion would be taken under con­sideration. To this Council­man Zizinia said: They wantsomeone appointed to assume

How Can the Mystery of Existence BsSolved? is the Eternal Question of Man

M an Studies M any Lines But Learns Little; L ife an Assetor a Liability

Who shall reveal the mysteries ofthis old world and of the life on it? We take pride in human E.chievements and imagine vain things. The won­ders of science, art and nature en­thrall us. One moment we reveal in the thought of the volume of knowl­edge we possess; the next are cha­grined by our narrow limitations. In all our accumulated truths, painfully acquired during thousands of years, we have not yet attained perfection in any direction. Our learning has never yet reached to the beginnings of things nor to their endings. We delve into geology, astronomy and theology; into philosophy and science and human experience; and with all of it we do not yet know why a blade of grass exists, or a treo, or an ani­mal or anything else on earth, under the earth, or above it. We look into the sky at night and ure abashed. We see the ocean pounding the rock- bound shore, or thistledown floating in summer air, and cannot tell why or for what either exists.

We do not know why we are here nor where we are going. Brought into a world of contending forces and beliefs, of hardships, luxuries, pains, pleasures, joys, sorrows, vanities, hu­miliations, achievements and failures, we try to get what we want and to evade what we dislike, until the pass­ing years lead us to a hole in the ground and that greatest of all mys­teries—death.

Never are we able to (ell the why or the what for ot this world. We but nibble at the edge of things, with no definite, accurate, scientific com­prehension whither our loves, hatreds and strivings are leading us. No father has yet been able to tell his

future holds for him at the end of his years. Life comes and goes. Is it an asset or a liability? We have mental pictures of places for the righteous and the wicked, after judgment, rrom sources we believe divine, but they are visions of faith, not actual demon­strations of reality. We say our dead are in a long sleep, awaiting the Ressurection. Blessed hope! And the next moment we imagine them already in heaven.

A bit of music thrills us. Youth and spring and love bring us joy. Age and weakness and disease destroy our capacity for earthly pleasures, and we turn to the promise ot Holy Writ for consolation. The wind sighs through the trees and our hearts sink. We grow weaker and weaker until the finish. What creatures of circumstance, of physical conditions, of environment we all are—to the very end!

We struggle for success, and when we win it find it not. what we sought. Tangled in the web of mortality, dodg­ing death daily, we are oppressed by the knowledge that we are dying, little by little, every day of our lives. Con­founded by things we cannot under­stand, we finally come to know there is no escape from melancholy except by the cultivation of the spiritual side of our natures. Then a new realm opens to us. The everlasting joys ol hope, faith and love beckon. Per­chance the inspiration of a reasonable religion takes hold upon us. Happy are they whom this faith reaches, for it lightens their hearts, dissipates their anxieties, and satifies their souls. They are ushered into the promised land flowing with the milk and honey of religious trust in God and a happy life beyond the grave. The ages havn

Conservation of Our Village YouthCommunity service as planned for

Patchogue is merely organized effort to care for the boys and girls, the young people and the young men who have returned from the war, who are to be the coming men of affairs of the village.

As stated before that it was the be lief of this paper that the time would come when communities like ours would hire directors to look after the youth of the village just as they now hire civic engineers to build up and keep in good condition the streets an-1 sidewalks; and it is morally certain that the former is far more important than the latter.

Isn’t it true that a few years ago the youth of the average village re­ceived about as much recognition, a? much thought and care as the stray dogs? And is it any wonder that many boys and young men grew up with the snapping, snarling disposi­tions of the cur that is kicked about the streets?

When a community shows a real interest in its youth there is bound to be a ready response and appre­ciation and a deportment which will repay all that may be expended in money and personal service. The Boy Scout movement has proven this.

Next to the love and loyalty of

young people for the home there is nothing so fine as their loyalty to- their own home town. But unle-:s the community shows by a generous and whole-souled service that it is deeply interested in their welfare, there will be but an indifferent spirit of loyalty; there is more apt to bo a sullen opposition and an enmity to law and order.

With the youth of a village happy in the recognition of their right to the pursuit of happiness and all united in civic patriotism and pulling strong for everything that makes for a better home-town, what a wonderful com­munity they would make.—Patchogue (L. I) Advanca

Last of Philadelphia’s Volunteer FireCompanies Passed Out of Existence

H ad U nique and H onorable History; Furnishings and Equipm ent Sold to H ighest Bidder

Philadelphia.-—The Active Volunteer Fire Company, successors to the old United States Hose Company, at 4‘d'J Buttonwood street, and the last of the volunteer companies in this city, passed out of existence last week when the building, furnishings and equipment went under the auctioneer" s hammer.

In this famous old building are housed the implements that extin­guished many a flame of “ye olde days.” Hose carriages, with their four-coil spring bells on the front anr1 their glass rollers for the hose, a hand power engine, hearing the motto “Semper Paratus,” or "always pre­pared,” firemen's hats of the old type Leather belts with the names of the companies form a border for the room

The old-fashioned coal stoves still stand in their places.

On the second floor is the meeting room of the present association, where the original members slept while ware ing a call to duty. In this room there

is a large silk banner, painted by John A. Woodside and presented to the fire campany by the Ladies’ Auxiliary in 1843. It pictures two beautiful women symbolizing fidelity and duty. This the painter declared to be his master piece.

Here also are more old-fashioned colorful lithographs and old leather capes which fire fighters of those days wore. There is also a framed set of resolutions, done on the old-time black paper and gilt print, expressing regret at the death of Abraham Lincoln Over the door is hung two of the noz- zels used by the Heart to Heart Fire Company of 173S. Old-time fire axes stand in the corner.

The third floor contains much the same things as the second, with one exception. Arranged around the room is a row of chairs, on which are the hats of the deceased members. They are covered with dust and falling apart with age.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Tasting and Smelling By EarThere are lots of things your ear

is capable of doing besides hearing. It can taste and smell when those senses have been lost. Mr. Henry Fawcett, England’s blind postmaster- general, declared that the sense of sound enabled him to see, in a modi­fied form, shap and color. He couid tell, for instance, by the sharpness of the sound, a lifeguardsman in scarlet blowing a trumpet from, a horse- guardsman in blue playing on the same instrument.

The report of a bursting tire in the street suggests a different impression altogether to the report of a revolver shot and so on indefinitely throughout the whole gamut of sound and smells.

What is termed seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling may be ascribed as picturization on the brain, performed through the instrumentality of the eyes, nose, ears, mouth and the body generally.

Most persons are unaware that iu many cases they recognize things by their smell when they think they know their flavor. Again, they do not know that they taste some things with one part of the tongue only and some with

another, while some parts of the lose the finer perceptions of taste.

Prof. H. L. Hollingsworth has re­cently been making exhaustive ex­periments with a view to solving th<j mystery of taste. He has demon­strated that the sense of taste reaches the brain merely through the ear nerves.

Various nerves in the tongue com­municate with a main nerve, which acts as a kind of telephone exchange to ring up the brain. The taste nerves for the tongue concentrate in the ear drum nerve. If this nerve is injured the sense of taste becomes dulled, and it is well known that deaf persons lost the finer perceptions of taste.

When the drum of the ear is stimu­lated mechanically, chemically or elec trically, at the point where the nerves meet, taste sensations are aroused. Sweet, bitter and sour flavors may ba detected, but strange to say, sa't fastes have never been observed by the direction on the ear. Many sensa tions called tastes are merely odors Pinch your nose and shut your eyes, and see if you can distinguish between an apple and an onion.

World In a" Death DanceDisaster Certain Unless Farmer is Recognized

Source of AnecdoteTne word anecdote is derived from

three Greek words meaning "not given out.” In other words, an anec­dote meant something not to be told, instead of the opposite meaning now current.

Milly—Men live faster Uian women. Billy—Well it takes a von'an much

longer to reach the age ox f!1 Chrri it takes a man.

“The whole world is engaged in a dance of death with starvation—and does not realize it."

In these words Dean Davenport, head of the Department of Agricul­ture in the University of Illinois, sums up the food situation today. He says the era of cheap food is ended and that the time has arrived when it can no longer be taken for granted. In part he blames this condition to the lure of high wages paid to in­dustrial workers in cities.

‘The time is here,” he says, “When the chief national and radical prob lem, next to free government, is the welfare of our lands and of the people on which society depends, anu must depend, for their effective and effi cient cultivation. The prevailing at­titude towards agriculture has been one of commiseration or contempT This has been its roots in the glare of the city as compared with what men have been pleased to call the 'isolation of the country.’ ”

Dean Davenport believes a new day in agriculture is breaking, and that the time is here when the farmer must work for money, and for a good deal of it. He says the problem ot heavy investment in a business witu but one turnover a year is a prob­lem of exceeding difficulty for the farmer, and that whatever solution he may find will involve foou at a cost to the consumer beyond anything the American people have ever ye*, experienced or even imagined.

"We are going at a breakneck speed in developing America as an indus trial country,” he points out. “Evers' strike and every shift in the indus­trial program makes it increasingly difficult to retain upon the land enough workers to feed our popula­tion, not to speak of export, upon which we have always depended tJ keep the balance of trade upon the side of the ledger. We have already reached a point in our industrial de velopment at which the farmer cannot work land enough with his own hands even by the aid of the most moden machinery, to insure him a labor in­come equal to that of the soft coal miner. On the farm long days of hard labor, with expensive machine- ery, managerial silk, heavy risks and large outlay for repairs, taxes, inter c-st and insurance, are put oyer againsf.

i unionized labor, with no experience, no risk and no responaibilty, and yet on even terms as to income.

“We all know what Uiat will do within half a century or sooner un­less means can be found to counter­act the consequences of this wide spread discrepancy between our agri­culture and our organized industry, which provides and controls the food Unless some means can be found to increase the emolutions of the farm a considerable proportion of our land > will soon be deserted, and much that is left will furnish a greatly reduced yield by reason of lessened labor.”

In this connection Dean Davenporr calls attention to the fact that the great demand for clover seed has sen„ it up to $30, and sometimes more, a bushel—four times the pre-war price

"The only explanation for the cur­rent price of clover seed is a wide spread seeding down of land because of the impossibility of getting ade­quate labor. In the mining and fac­tory districts many thousands ot small farmers have left their farms to the women folks and the children and gone into industry or transportation because of the greatly increased pay they are liable to get there.

"This will be felt in the amount of food, for land in grass can yield but a fraction of what it would yield in grain. This will raise prices because of scarcity and tend to adjust mat­ters. But if a farmer must get more for his labor it would be better all around if he got it for an adequate food supply than in the form of high prices for insufficient amounts of foodstuffs. Here is an economic problem calling for settlement. The farmer cannot strike, in the ordinary sense of the term, but he can quit the farm, as thousands are quitting

i it, and experience shows that once off the land the farmer does not go back.”

Considered nationally, Dean Daven­port contends that agriculture is no less a public than a private question He says, we are interested in the far­mer for his own sake, just as we are interested in the banker, the mer­chant, the carpenter—as human be­ings and American citizens. He ad mits that perhaps we are even more

interested in agriculture as a great national industry a.nd as the source

of the food whereby we live, realizing that we are truly independent na­tionally and safe only so long as we maintain an agriculture that can fully support us with all needful food; and he believes that the farmer as a man and as an exponent or our grtax na­tional industry, and as a custodian our lands should figure more in the councils of the nation than he has heretofore thought possible.

“Ecclesiasticus considered that the men who raised the food of the world would never sit in the councils of the mighty," said Dean Davenport. “He was mistaken, for there is no larger question, whether of peace or of prog­ress, than the fate of that industrj and that portion of our population of the people.

Machine Makes Change

There is a demand at railroad and trolley line terminals for some means of automatically selling tickets so that passengers will not be compelled to wait in line at a window, and a very satisfactory device has been late­ly invented which does this work. It will take any coin up to a 50-cent piece and will deliver tho ticket and the change. There are several slots, each one designed for a coin of differ­ent denomination, and when the coin is placed in this the ticket and the change fall into a receptacle at the lower part of the machine, to he re­moved by the patron. The most iu genious part of this apparatus is the unerring feature of rejecting spurious coins. It has a very delicate attach­ment which takes into consideration all the particular governmental mark ings of the coins by means of a series of points which bear upon both sur­faces of the coin when it is presented and any which do not come up to the test are thrown out. These machines are operated by small electric motors which consume a very trifling amount of current.

Temperamental FreddyA COMPLETE N O V ELETTE By James Frederick Topping

It was a spring day—one o£ those days when long-haired geeks can write odes to the cow-path—the kind of a day a person should be at leisure to sit and listen to the birds sing, and let the mind 'wander to a higher plane than that of persuading an aged rag carpet to do duty another year and still hide its discrepancies under the hed and behind the door.

At least this is what Mrs. McJlmsey thought as, with hammer in hand, her mouth bristling with carpet tacks, she drove home the last tack. Stand­ing erect, she viewed the much worn floor covering, with its faded confetti pattern, with a dubious shake of the head. It certainly looked fierce. But it had to do. She turned and de posited tacks and hammer on the window sill. And then it was that the wonderful spring sun streamed in at the open sash and waved her faded locks, while a breeze full of promise fanned her hot face and filled her nostrils.

Mrs. McJimsey heaved a huge sigh. Despite her two-score years and

beef trust proportions, there still lay- dormant in her generous bulk a spark of romance which the spring frag­rance fanned into life and caused her spirit to soar to heights as sentimen­tal as an ingenue in a ten-twent’-thirt’ melodrama.

Her favorite literature was partly to blame for this. For years she had gathered up the discarded literature of all the chorus girls who frequented her theatrical boarding house, yellow- tacked and ardent, and these she pored through and enjoyed as much as in the days when she weighed but a hundred and ten, and was third from the end of the front row.

But the sigh which racked her bosom now was not altogether a liter­ary production.

Mrs. McJimsey had a past. A past which made the yellowest dime ef­fusion in her assemblage of highly colored fiction read like the sequel to the Book of Job—a past that Dame Nature’s green scenery and or­chestra, with its million tiny pipes and fiddles, were now dragging forth and acting over again in Mrs. McJlm sey’s mental theatre.

But the performance was rudely in­terrupted. The door opening squeak- ily, deposited Mrs. McJimsey solidly back on terra firma. Turning on ths intruder, she beheld the unromant’c figure of the paperhanger.

"I wanta fit a little pice of cloth,” said the necessary spring evil; “there’s a hole in the plaster in t’other room.”

“Uh-huh—I know,” replied Mrs. McJimsey. ‘‘I knocked that in there when I was takin’ the bed down. But hain’t this a swell day, though?”

The decorator scratched his head. “Oh, I don’t know,” he objected. “It’s too warm for this time of the

year. Fine day to ketch a nice cold though, and then suffer with it durin’ the nasty weather that’s bound to come.”

But this pessimism was lost on Mrj. McJimsey.

“It was just such a day. Funny how spring weather ’11 always make you think of your first husband.”

"I dunno,” said the taciturn pastc- dauber. “I never had one!”

But Mrs. McJimsey’s gaze was di­rected out of the window, and her re­ceiving coils were tuned to receive -more musical wave lengths than those of the voice of a mere mortal.

“Freddy his name was,” she con­tinued. “Freddy Bell Hawkins. 1 don’t know what the bell was for, but I guess his mother could see from the first that he was goin’ to need one. He was one of those handsome, tem­permental little fellers—one of the kind that fond mammas raise up and inflict on the world, and then inno­cently forget to pray the Lord to send along a doting simp of a woman to -wait on their offspring the balance o£ their days.”

The paperhanger was working by the day, so he sat down fiat on the floor, his back pillowed comfortably against the doorjamb. He had come in search of a piece of cloth, but he had no objections to waiting until it was masticated.

“I was just a fool girl then,” re­sumed Mra. McJimsey, sinking down on a roiled-up mattress. “Didn’t weigh more’n a hundred pounds. You wouldn’t think to look at me that 1 was ever the top-mounter with a circus act—now would you? But 1 was. I was the youngest member of the ‘L.a Reur’ family—a family troupe composed of a dago and his wife, a feller named Cohn and me,

“I had broke into the show busi­ness when I'd ought to have been at home learnin’ to concoct an Irish stew for a kid, I was pretty well ex­perienced. I’d been with every kind of barn-stormin’ troupe, from a one- man band to band and orchestra out­

fit, and I’d been stranded so many times that my career looked like the frayed end of a rope.

“I was just a fool girl then,” re­ality for about the nineteenth time when La Reur—which was the name the dago took when he got hold of a bargain lot of paper—come along with his ‘family’ proposition, I was surprised to find that there was still another theatrical vehicle that I hadn’t been dumped out of yet, so I immedi­ately signed a greasy contract and stuck my feet tinder the family table. That added ham and eggs to the odoriferous bill of fare of gefilltefish and spaghetti.

“We started in rehearsin’, and by the end of the week I was as full of black-and-blue marks as the dago’s wife was full of garlic; but I’d learned the trick of tumblin’ from three shoul­ders high without landin on my collar­bone, so the acrobatic family took the road.

“It was a fair act, and them acts go, and we managed to exist that winter on pop-vaudeville. Then when spring rolled around and the wick burned out of the kerosene circuit, we signed up with Pat Dixon’s dog and pony show. The second week out with the circus we hit the town of Hawkinsville, MJster, I guess they named that town "Hawkins’ just fo.’ the same reason that they call a coop hen. Everyman and woman in the place was programmed Hawkins.

'And the first member of the noblo family that I met was this Freddy Bell!”

Here Mrs. McJimsey registered an­other gob of audible lament.

The paperhanger shifted his posi­tion a trifle to find a soft spot in the flooring, and nodded sleepily.

It was a case of love at first sight, mister,” gushed Mrs. Jimsey. “There was me a walkin’ through the woods in my high-heeled slippers and little gobs of grease-paint stickin’ to my eyelashes, and there was Freddy Bell sittin’ on a rock beside a little stream, with his auburn hair corned back in one of these here soulful pompadores and a soft-colored shirt showin’ a soft blue tie. He wasn't writin’ poetry. He was shakin’ dice in the palm of his hand and flippin’ em out on the gravel but to me he

looked like one of these here seraphim you read about in the hymn-book! I told you I was a simp, didn’t I ,mister?

Funny how you’ll fall for somebody the first time you set your eyes on ’em that way, ain’t it? There was me, a circus girl with muscles in my arms as big and hard as cabbages, that had seen every kind of a man that the Lord made and the devil inherited, and was wise to ’em all, gettin palpi­tant over a little, slender-legged feller with cigaret stains on his fingers, and no callouses on his hands or his con­science, either. Well, Freddy looked at me as far as he could see me through them woods, and I come out into a plowed field, steppin’ high, high, as though somebody had left me a million dollars! And neither one of us had spoke a word; Love’s a funny thing, mister.

“Even then I might’a got out or town and kind of wore off the infec­tion; but after the afternoon per-, formance, when I’m out prowlin’ round the back streets of Hawkinsville, huntin’ for a place to get some washin' done, who do I meet but this Freddy Bell—drivin' along slow in a brand- new red-wheeled buggy! He pulled up to the cinder path where I was and smiled at me. "Wanna ride? says he. And I climbed in.

“Yes, sir—knowin’ that it was against all the rules—circuses are awful strict, mister—and that I would probably draw a fine, and maybe get my face slapped by the dago’s wife I climbed in. And Freddy Bell gave the mare a slap, and we whirled out into the country with the wheel a flashin’ and my heart goin like the bass drum when the elephant act is on. Now, with any other fellow, I’d ’a-been sittin’ on the edge of the seat, ready to draw a hatpin the first time he tried to get fresh. I’d learned to take pretty good care of myself. But with this Freddy I just set back and listened to his chatter.

“It seemed he was a temperamental child and that nobody understood him. He certainly was a classy la-1 to have been raised in that rube town that was a regular incubator for chin- spinach, seersuckers, and capper-tord boots! I wondered a little where he’d picked up the style—then! It seemed seemed his father was the perpetual sheriff of the country, and owned the

world where his talents and his looks would be appreciated!

"That’s the line of talk he gave me for seven miles—while the new buggy crawled through the spring mud and the wind blew in my face, smellin’ like it does, mister! When we finally got back to town the ticket wagon was lit up and the cook tent down, and Freddy Bell and me was engaged co be married!

“Well, I went through that per­formance, from the soubrette dance I had to do with the one clown to the great pyramid act of the La Reur family, with my head in the clouds. I didn’t need no red on my cheeks —they were flamin’ with joy. And there was visions before my eyes that shut out the sight of the muddy rubes spittin’ tobacco juice down between, the blue—visions of a little cottage with a rose bush over the door, and all the other things fool girls dream about.

“I was sick to death of the Yid-anj Wop La Reur combination, anyway. And I was tired of being bumped around the country, too; so when the show was over I gave Freddy the glad smile, as though he was my deliverer from every earthly woe. You see, we went to a J. P. right after the per­formance and got married. But the seedy c-ld fee-grabber hadn’t hardl.’ interned the dollar Freddy gave him in his jeans before all my rosy dreams met a chilly finish.

Freddy informed me, very gentla and very firm, that I had better stick to the circus a while longer. You see, his father, as he explained, was a brutal and violent old party who would be likely to do ’most anything short of murder to the person who was guilty of lurin’ away his only son! He figured that the old man wouldn't find out for a day or two where we were, and that that he would’t be apt to look for his precious, misunderstood off­spring ’a the low-brow neighborhood of a 90-fcot top, and that we would be comparatively safe. Also, it would give him, Freddy, time to adjust his financial affairs and get in shape to play angel to a continuous matrimon ial show.

“All these arguments hit me like a cold shower bath on the day after Christmas, but I was in love with Freddy; and when he rolled them tempermental eyes at me, I gave in without a word, and we went back to the lot where I introduced my hus­band into the bosom of the La Reur family, and we all rode out over the dark muddy roads to the next town, which was 19 miles go and bad goin'

“Well, from then on, mister my life was one long day of promise! Freddy invented the promises, and I swal­lowed ’em! Every towrn we hit, he was always bristlin’ with ambition, and goin’ to get on the inside of a good thing that would make him financially. He had more schemes than there were fleas in the dago’s trunk, and most of ’em called for a small outlay of capital. I gave him most of my pay, and dug down in the grouch bag that every wise actor saves against the evil day when the show goes busted; but still he hung around the show and turned up regular at meal time, until old Pat Dixon begun to growi and sling insultin’ remarks about excess baggage around where I was.

“One c’ay I gently hinted to Freddy that he might try a little shoulder- holdin’ with the La Reur family, or offer to sell tickets in tue kid show; but he gave me a grieved and won- derin look, and asked me if I didn’t rea’ize that his inhuman old father would discover him immediately if he was thrust into prominence, and that our dream of love would be put a sudden and painful end to—and where would our cottage be then9 A sneakin’ notion liad already seeped into my head that the cottage didn't sem to be loomin’ any nearer, so far as I could see; but I choked it down, and gave Freddy another five-spot to launch a finincial enterprise which was goin’ to give him his long delayed start in the world.

“They was stackin’ the seats when Freddy came back that night. He had made a raise of a new suit, very loud and tempermental, so much so that old Pat made a remark about firin’ the band and sellin’ the calliope for junk, and he strutted around, flashin’ this mail-order front and steppin' gin­gerly through the sawdust, until I could see the red showin’ in some of the roughnecks’ eyes, and knew that I’d better collect my family and re­move it from the lot before there was

slow smile and said that I was always at him. 'Get away from my room, or m tell Dixon!”

“But he only bristles back at me and flashes a slip of paper. ‘Where’s your husband?’ he says. ‘This check is phony! He better make it good or I’ll get him,’ he says. I was scared to death, but I didn’t let Cohn see it ‘He’s not here,’ I told him. If yoa want him, go find him!’ And I shut the door in his face and crawled back into bed, shaking like I had a fit. didn’t have any idea what the fracas was all .ibout, so when Freddy came in lookin’ sort of rumpled and blear-eyed, about three A. M., I asked him about it. But he only twisted his mouth around with a nasty grin he’d been displayin’ lately, and said it was a shame that a person of his tempera­ment was forced to associate with such low-brow scum as Cohn and old Pat Disc-n; but of course, seeing it was for my sake, he could manage to overlook it, although it pained his sensitive nature. He growled about having to get up at four, too, claim in it was injuring his health not to get his proper rest, never thinkin’ about me havin’ to do five turns every show, not countin’ the parade.

“Mister, I must have been a lot meeker than I am now, for I never said a word, but listened to Freddy's complaints until the clerk banged on the door, and we had to dress and drag down to the lot in the cold fog and dark. We rode on an extra seat in a seat wagon, and at the bad hills everybody was supposed to get off and walk to rest the horses. But Freddy wouldn’t walk. He always stuck to his seat, payin’ no attention to the driver’s insultin' remarks about carryin’ statu­ary and set pieces, though I was ashamed, and slid down and footed il through the mud.

‘‘Goin’ up one hill, I found myself walkin’ aling side Cohn, and the way he cut his eye around at me, I knew he was still mad. When a man is mean he’s poison, so I decided I’d better try to square things for fear something unpleasant might happen to Freddy Bell. So I looks at him real friendly, and asks him, ‘How much is that check wrote for, Cohn!’

“He gives me a mean look and says it’s for enough to put that little cutey of mine where no dust wont mar his appearance if he don’t cover it might quick! I asked him how he happened lovely to him, no matter what I woro. Women has always fell for that bunk, mister, end I guess they always will; so I swallowed my grievances, and even gave him another dollar when he insisted that he must go and meet a party who was going to put him next to a big financial deal.

“I went to bed and slept sound

When you have worked two shows, tumblin’ and dancin’ besides ridin

i fourteen miles in a seat wagon and makin a parade, you don’t need no soothin’ sirup to make you sleep, mis­ter! I was hummin' a little lullaby into my pillow, everything forgot ex­cept that the call was for four o’clock as the next town was quite a ways off, when somebody split my dreams in two, hammerin’ on the door.

“I slid out and opened it without stoppin’ to light the lamp, and there was that fellow Cohn, who worked in the La Reur family with me. He wad standin’ squared off, as though he ex­pected something to hit him, and his little greasy face was twisted and mean, and his nose fairly quivered, he was so mad.

“ ‘Where’s that scenery of yours?’ he snaps at me, hateful like.

“ ‘What do you want?’ I snaps back to have it and he give me a pityin’ look, like he thought I was an awful fool, and says that Freddy paid it to him on o debt, but that it had been protested, and it wasn’t squared there would be nineteen kinds of trouble!

“Finally he let me see the check and I discovered that it was signed ‘R. M. Hawkins,’ which is Freddy’s father! Even then I didn’t see any light, mis ter! I only dug down in my poor, emaciated grouch bag and fished out twelve dollars and sixty cents to square it with Cohn, and folded up the check with forty cents I had left.

“That day it rained.“Now, a rainy day never stops work

for circus people. It only makes work harder and cuts the money short, anti naturally everybody gets a grouch and snarls at everybody else. Before the top was up and the seats laid out, old Pat Dixon was nappin’ around like ji. famished crocodile, and all the rough­necks was scuttlin' around like scare 3 rats. We made a parade in the drizzle with two cages closed, and the dago's wife ridin’ a white mare with a slicker on and droppin’ garlicky cuss words every twenty feet, and then we como back to find the cook-tent ropes sagged in the mud and the canvas hanging

down on the stove so they was no din­ner ready, and the cook was swearin' blue blazes. By the time they got it

, tightened up it was time to make up, so we had to work a matinee to 1G passes and three muddy farmers on an empty stomach.

“I was feelin’ bum, anyway, on ac­count of bein’ kept awake all night and having no dinner; and every time I would do a back fall over Cohn’s shoulders, he would give me that nasty, one-sided grin of his, until I was so edgy I wanted to scream. Then suddenly, as I was standing on my hands on top of the family pyramid, who should I see sauntering into the reserve but old R. M. Hawkins. Freddy’s father!

“I gave one gasp and forgot where I was, and about that time the La Reur family turned three double flips to the ground, leavin’ the ham-and-egg member suspended in the air. I come down with a thud. My leg doubled under me with a crunch, and red-hot pains shot clear to the top of my head. I though!; I was all broke up, but when they pulled me up out of the sawdust, they decided that it was only my ankle that was twisted. But I couldn’t step on it, so they hauled me over to the hotel in a January wagon, and the dago had to finish his act with no top- mounter.

It is one of the homelike hotels of Belmar, loc­ated on Fifth avenue, less than a block from the ocean, and over­looking beautiful Silver Lake it is ideally situated and is as de- sireable spot for real rest and comfort as there is to be found on the Atlantic.

July 1. This house is conducted by M. Strunsky who has con­stantly given evidence of his progressive nature. Three years ago he rebuilt and enlarged the house and this year an addition of considerable size has been an­nexed. This addition provides an enlarged dining room and a spacious sun parlor. The old tea room in the basement has been remodeled into a spacious dance hall. A fine polished floor has been laid and the interior nicely decorated. A tea room has been fitted up in tlie rear. Many noted musicians, playrights and writers make this hotel their stopping place and musicales and other events of a pleasing nature add to tlie enjoyment of the summer guests at this hotel.

The Colorado

mobile shall be continuously operated, except for the months of June, July and August. The charge for carrying one or two passengers between any two points within the borough limits shall not exceed 50 cents and the charge for carrying each ad- tional passenger shall not ex­ceed 25 cents.

In past years the county al­lowed the "borough $200 a year for sprinkling River Road. The state has taken over the road and what will be done is not known. Councilman Howland said that the residents on this street were within the borough limits and therefore entitled to have the street watered and that he had caused it to be done. Counccil approved of the action.

George Tallman. driver for the Hook and Ladder company, was granted an increase in pay from $85 to $90 a month, be­ginning July 1st. In addition to this he is given house rent.

CONSTITUTION IS DRAFTED.

Will Be Presented at Meeting of Committee of Belmar Com­munity Association for Adop­tion.

The Colorado is again under the management of Mr. Helpern and is sure to have as successful season as any in past years. The big building has been repainted both on tlie outside and through the entire interior and present a much improved appearance.

Several other of the smaller hotels and boarding houses in Belmar have opened.

Mayor Van Note appointed Councilmen Zizinia, Sterner and Howland to investigate the dance hall matter and the clerk was requested to instruct the chief of tlie Fire department to see that the law regarding fire regulations is enforced.

Notice of a hearing on the petition of the Atlantic Coast Street Railway Company for increase of fare from six to eight cents was received, but no action taken Councilman Ster­ner probably expressed the senti roent of the entire council when he said that the road had con­stantly lost patronage since it increased its fare to six cents and that if it had no better suc­cess in attracting people to its lines with an eight cent fare, that as far as he was concerned he was indifferent.

Mayor Van Note appointed Mrs. A. W- Cobb and George Kanenbley trustees of Belmar Public Library to succeed them­selves and Robert G. Poole to fill a vacancy on the board caus­ed by the resignation of Mrs. J. Schlosser. The appointments were confirmed. He also re­appointed Paul C. Taylor, C. B. Honce, George Kanenbley, .lames Hall and Peter Egenoll members of the Sinking Fund committee.> An ordinance regulating the licensing of hackmen was passed to the second and third reading. This ordinance is printed in full elsewhere in this papr.

SUGAR IS SCARCE AGAIN

The old Jinx will not leave the trail of the consumer. Now sugar is again on the toboggan which leads to depletion and it becomes neces­sary to once more warn the public to conserve just as they did when the destructive world war was at the height of its cussedness. The sugar- bowl which has not been back on the restaurant and hotel tables long enough to become familiar as of old is destined to return to cupboards relegated away back in the very back-ground. New York, Philadel­phia and other large cities will go on sugar rations again soon. As­bury Park may be forced to likewise resume old inconveniences- for what it is hoped will: be only a, very pass­ing nonce.

his hut for Gwen Dale. She was attired in his overalls, which were several times too large for her. He still wore the one .outfit in which she had seen him, in­cluding the red necktie, hut his hair was more neatly combed.

“It’s just as well that you’re wearing overalls tonight," h_e said. “You may be around a lot of grease.”

“Well, I’m glad I pass muster, because I feel like a fright,” she rcpliecPas she scanned her cost- iSine.

“Come on.” was his succinct response as he led the way out the door.

Either on account of her curi­osity of fear of arousing her escort’s ire, Gwen deemed it ad­visable to make reticence her stock in trade from the incep­tion on this occasion. She seemed to divine that tiie man wanted to do most of the talk­ing. However, his utterances during a twenty-minute stroll were few and far apart. He Was aparently more morose than ever. He was inclined to keep very deeply engrossed in studious thoughts. Withal he had tlie air of one entirely con­fident and sure of himself.

The first place he took the girl was to his observatory, im­mediately he moved a switch and a dazzling light shot into the heavens. He directed his guest to look into a brass-lined tele­scope of not more than twelve inches in length. He then push­ed a button, simultaneously ad­justing what looked like a lens.

“Great guns!” she exclaimed. “What’s the matter?” he ask­

ed naively.“I’m seeing Mary Pickford in

movies,” she asserted.“Correct! And, a planet some

millions of miles away is the screen upon which you are see­ing the picture.”

“Impossible!” the-girl gasped in her irrepressible amazement.

“All right,” he retaliated. “See this glass slide?” He held it aloft. “I'll flash it New York- ll aloft. “I'll flash it New York- in the air.”

The next instant the girl saw emblazoned on tlie sky-line afar the following sign,

HAVE HOPE!THE BEST YET!

“What you read now, you will -read one week from tonight from your own home window, for I will flash it again on that night from here,” he announc­ed,

“Well. I’ll be darned,” was her comment.

“It’s something new, making possible long-distance advertis­ing or long-distance bulletin service”, he explained. “Would n’t mankind like to have such a marvelous utility??”

“I should say so,” she agreed.” “Well, mankind will never

get a chance to make use of my device. Come on.”

Thereupon he turned off his switch and all Avas darkness.

Ten minutes later the couple stood at the entrance to tlie cave in which the girl had hidden during the day. The man purs­ed his lips. The girl responded bv remaining motionless. A moment later she heard those mysterious footsteps in tlie gravel again. At first she felt herself getting nervous for it was unpleasant gritting sound.

“What is that?” she asked with emphasis.

“ That’s the forces of the earth harnessed to my will through scientific principles with which I am alone familiar,” he inform­ed her. “You see it stops when I raise my foot from this steel plate.” He raised his foot and there was a dead silence instant­ly. “Now I gtep on tlie plate again and the action is resum­ed.” He replaced his foot on the plate and the grinding noise started all over.

“Remarkable!” she exclaim­ed. “And do you know when I heard that today I thought it was you coming my way at last?”

“It’s far more important.” “What is it?”“Intensive gravity, I term it.”

demanded aloud.“Won’t it be a joke!” he re­

plied guilelessly, as he increas­ed his efforts at the key. “And, the best part of the joke is, all the erudite experts will swear the message came direct from tlie Azores.”

Gwen Dale was actually stun­ned. She simply could not find her tongue. She knew she was witnessing genius in action. She could only stare at the man whose intentions she still doubt­ed.

While she still peered into this receptacle he dashed the water into it.

deserving aspirants overcome their bitterness after repeated defeats ? Can’t you? And don’t you know you will triumph gloriously with these wonderful ideas of yours? Don’t you—”

“I will not be reasoned with or argued out of my justifiable pur­pose,” he interrupted with a for­bidding wave of both hands.

There was always something most decisive in this man’s nega­tions and he possessed an un­canny ability for stifling enthus­iasm. He had no doubt acquired this through protracted choking of his own aspirations. Gwen Dale knew any further efforts to drive home arguments at this juncture would be fruitless and j luckily she conceived another notion.

“Very well,” she finally said submissively. “Now if you’ll show me where your larder and cooking outfit are, I’ll prepare breakfast.”

“I can do better than you can,” he snapped as he arose to his feet dusting the seat of his trousers.

“Oh I don’t know,” she re­plied confidently as she arose dusting herself in a spirit of mis­chievous imitation. “All the folks at home say I’m some cook I’d love to hear your opinion.”

Hope reflected for a moment and, then, without uttering an­other sound, led the way to the hut. Crossing to a lever attach­ed to the wall opposite to the bunk, he hesitated as if in doubt.

“Go ahead, be game,” the girl urged. “One meal, even badly cooked, wouldn’t kill you.”

After rubbing his hands to­gether briskly for thirty seconds which seemed like ten minutes to the curious and interested girl he pulled tlie lever down and a sliding door opened revealing a unique kitchenette of immacu­late white. In her unrestrained surprise Gwen rushed right into the room ahead of the man.

“Isn’t this georgeoiisly cute!” the exclaimed. “And to thinkit is one man’s work accomplished independent of anyone else’s aid, and so far away from civiliza­tion! Oh, I love this!”

The typically feminine ecstay of the girl proved to be conta-: gious to tlie extent of making j Hope smile half in pride andlhalf in pleasure over the impromptu j compliment which had been j paid him for hi? good tas -. 1'he! smile was still on his face as he j crossed to press two buttons in rapid succession. A panel in the wa’:l slid cpen and revealed a large pantry filled with all kinds of canned edibles and sev­eral baskets of fresh vegetables and fruits.

“There,” he said. “Get up tlie menu to suit yourself. Here’s the stove already hot.”

He indicated a large steel j

plate on one end of which was attached an oVen.

“How perfectly dandy,” tlie | girl enthused as she crossed to | the stove and held her hand oyer j it.. An expression of perplexity spread over her face as she fail- j ed to locate the source of tlie | heat. When she looked askance at her host he said simply:

“ Electric.”“What complete ingenuity,”

was her admiring comment.“It’s quite simple,” he replied

modestly. “But go ahead with your breakfast. I wall be back in ten minutes.”

CHAPTER VII.Before Sunrise.

Just at the break of the next morn­ing Gwen Dale was awakened by tbe sound of the motor on her seaplane. She lost little time in donning ber clothes and getting out of the hut. Upon reaching the beach she was ' surprised to find Given C. Hope on top of tbe upper wing energetically wielding a hammer while the pro­peller wras going at full speed with­out scarcely making the machine tremble-

“Well,” she exclaimed jovially. “Where there’s -work, there’s Hope-”

Tlie din of the engine precluded Ihe possibilities of hearing so soft and swreet a voice, but Hope espied the girl the moment she arrived, and he smiled his greeting. A moment later he discontinued his hammering,

THE LICENSE FEE QUESTION

Officer Robert Estell, who has charge of collecting license fees from hackmen, hicksters and others who are compelled by law to take out a license to legally conduct their business in a bor­ough, is a very efficient official. He was livst appointed to th position of collector in 1916 and his thoroughness in collecting these fees has turned many dol­lars into the borough treasury. Last year Belmar received $1,- 335.50 from licnses. Previous lo his appointment many hack­men and venders had avoided paying a license fee and the whole system had been a good deal of a farce.

Whether it is right or not to make a man pay a license fee for doing a business which is detri­mental to no one; when he has committed no crime and is in reality filling a needed place in a community, is not the question While there is such a law in the state and such an ordinance in lhe borough, it should be enforc­ed to the letter and that is tlie manner in which Officer Estell endeavors to enforce it. He shows no favoritism and in • s * lem really does work to to tlie advantage of those persons who do a legitimate business in' Bel­mar by excluding those who are engaged in the same pursuits but not conducting then’ busi­ness wholly in the borough.

In his work Mr. Estell keeps his eyes wide open for the for­eign suit case peddlers who are quite numerous in Belmar each summer, compells them to pay the license and to conduct their business in a respectable man­ner. These foreigners are very solicitous in urging prospective customers to purchase their wares and this often amounts to annoyance and not infre­quently embarrassment. These peddlers if they have" a license seem to think that it gives them a right to force themselves even where their presence is not de­sired and fairly to thrust themselves upon the privacy of i people without so much as ask- j ing permission, and they need an occasional lesson when found I making themselves objection­able.

Up to a year %v two ago Bel­mar only charged this class of peddlers $5 for a license but raised the fee to $25 as it was found that other boroughs were charging the larger amount. They would dodge paying auy fee il they could but they are not able to escape the watchful eye of Officer Estell and the fact that they do pay is evidence suffi­cient to show that they find their business profitable

Ambition fights on. A part’s a part; a role a role; and soon the play is done. The descending curtain cuts off all view and memories take sway Whereas the leader in his lines acted well the part, so to the super, with a bow, earned his yaily keep. So after all, a job is a job, each has hard work to do, each in accord­ance with his hire must bow to read his lines. Who’s stage managing this show? Why must you take your part? You did not ask to come Why? Because you have to try, be- cause he who, having a place for us wondering just how we will fill it, sends us for a while to the earth world with a chance to display our wares. Wares are varied and num- erous, each must display to full view As the peacock with his gorgeous plumage and haughty grandeur struts about the barnyard quite in contrast to the tiny bird which silently flits about destroying bugs and insects, contrastingly must their wares be judges. Each in accordance with his scope and limitations. So to Life, so to Man, Ambition and all that fol­lows. It is not the place that you held that counts—it’s only how did you hold it?

COUNTING AT LIFE’S COUNTER

In accordance with the “Law of Theory,” there is within this Uni­verse a certain spot, picked and ordained, wherein each and every one of us, even as the smallest cog •within the largest wheel, fits and slides on frictionless to the ultimate destined end. But just as in the present day when practicability so •often objects to the plannings of the­ory, so has it through the ages de-

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your, breath or dull your head; no constipg? tionT bilious attacks, sick headache* .colds,’rheumatism or gassy, acid stom, ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This fs vastly more Important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well- known physician.

To keep these poisons and toxins ■well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before break­fast each, day, a glass of* hot water with a teaspoonfui of limestone phos­phate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food Into tha stomach.

Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which la not unpleasant. Drink" phosphated hot water eveiy'mornlng.to rid your sys­tem of these vile poisons and toxins;' also to prevent their formation.

To feeriike young tolks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac­cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hotjwater be- fore breakfast, act on' the stomach,' liver, kidneys and.bovrela.T’’ '

DESERT IN BLOOMIrrigation Makes Garden Spot of

Death Valley.

Furnace Creek Ranch, in Eastern Cal­ifornia, Probably the Most Isolated

Farm in the World—Many Feet Below Sea Level.

Probably .the most isolated farm In the world is situated in a certain spot In eastern California, near the hottom of the United States, where some min­ing men have fitted out a ranch of some 65 acres. The place is known as Furnace Greek ranch, and.it has been made possible by irrigation, the water being piped from springs in the Funeral mountains.

Edward Hogg, in describing the ranch, says that it “Is situated 178 feet below sea level on tlie floor of the greatest depression on the face of the western hemisphere, within pis­tol' shot of and only about 100 feet higher than the greatest depth of Death valley. Yet, in spite of its pe­culiar location, the ranch fs within the shadow of Mount Whitney, whose eternal snows tower Into the heavens to a height of nearly three miles, the highest point of land in the conti­nental limits of the nation.

“Furthermore, Furnace Creek ranch Is probably the only farm in the world where weed§ are unknown. As It ls entirely artificial and surrounded by a desert' barrier, the seeds of noxious weeds have had no way of getting there, and unless they be imported by tnan, the ranch will undoubtedly al­ways remain free from them.

"Obviously the Introduction of an abundant water supply was the prime requisite to make the ranch possible. This ls obtained from. teP large springs far_backJn the Funeral mono.-

gjM} pifff ttiefr stfeamff ugon tiie ]3urned-out Death valley jsojj through two great aouediHs, one of steel and one of masonry. _Part of the water is diverted along the route to freshen a heavy growth of willows planted to give shade to the water­course. But in spite of this, the loss of water from evaporation ls very great, and in summer the water emerges from the aqueduct at temper­atures up to 110. degrees. Men and live stock, of course, cannot drink it so hot. Cooling is therefore effected by means of large evaporation ‘ollas,’ and the drinking water is quickly re­duced to 70 degrees In the hottest weather.

“The humidity of Death valley’s at­mosphere varies like that of other places, but according to analyses made by the United States weather bureau. Its air is the driest known. Its aver­age moisture content ls less than .01 per cent. Water thus becomes as vol­atile as gasoline nnd evaporating cool­ing is accomplished with great rapid­ity. It is this speedy evaporation that has largely made Furnace Creek ranch possible. The ranch is primarily a hay farm, the principal crop being al­falfa, which Is fed to cattle and hogs. After being dressed, the meat is sent to mining camps. The live stock could not live through the scorching Bummer if it were not for the cooling Influence of shower baths with which their corrals are equipped. The cat­tle, horses and mules are further pro­tected frSm the blistering winds by having the sides of their pens covered with sheet metal.

“White men cannot live long in tlie withering heat. Consequently all the work about the ranch is done by In­dians of the Piute and Shoshone tribes, under the direction of an edu­cated foreman. The average life of a white man in Death valley Is very short. Three white foremen employed on the ranch lasted two summers each and perished during the third. Two others went insane and attempted to Bee out of the valley on foot. Neither of them lived to get out of the maze of Funeral mountain canyons.

“The Stygian temperature of Death valley lasts for about five months of the year, usually from May 1 until Oc­tober ; the other months are cool and pleasant. Ealn is virtually unknown. Consequently the Irrigation ot Funeral creek ranch is continuous.”

Thrifty? Yes.The other day an Indianapolis law­

yer took one of his women clients out to lunch. He, being discreet, decided to say nothing about the event to his wife. But the tattling friend who al­ways learns of such affairs told wifey Instead, and that evening he was duly scolded for this misdemeanor.

“But you sometimes go out to lunch with men who are our friends,” pro­tested her husband, “and I don’t ob­ject. Now, what Is the difference be­tween your coming and my going ln this way?”

“Why, the difference is In the bill," smiled the wife. “One way you save It and the other you pay It."

Needed Her Help.Will B _ is a high school pupil

who knew very little of children un­til his married sister and her three- year-old son came home to visit the other day. Now tlie variety of the three-year-old’s language amazed his nncle. He said, “Bow-wow” for dog, “bye-bye” foSr automobile, “mew-mew” for cat, and even “la-la” for the vic­trola.

The other evening Will came Into the house. “Say, sis,” he called up­stairs ro bis sister, “you’ll have to give me some help. I want to ask this youiij!s!i‘"r to go with me to a show and 1 A<m i know what kind of a noise to Jcake for moving pictures.’’

y story has

(.©, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.}Sally finished tying a gorgeous pink

bow on her long dark braid, and smiled at herself in the mirror.

“This is a great old world,” she re­marked to her room-mate, Anna Flar- ity, who was already in bed.

“It sure ls,” Anna agreed, then added wistfully: “I wish Frank andI were going' to be married, along with Peter and you, tomorrow night.”

Sally’s face clouded.“I’m not going to marry anyone,”

she announced shortly.Anna sat up in bed in wide-eyed

astonishment.“Not going to get married, and the

time all set, and everything in readi­ness?” she gasped. “Why, Sally Day. have you and Peter quarreled?"

Sally shook her head in silence.“Why aren’t you going to marry

Peter?” pleaded Anna.Sally with half-shut eyelids turned

and gazed thoughtfully at her com­panion.

“Anna,” she said shortly, “you think you love Frank, and expect to marry him some day. Well, suppose some big thing you had hoped for all your life should suddenly cpme to you. Which would you choose—this big thing or Frank’s love?"

Anna did not Hesitate.“Frank’s love,” she said simply.Sally sighed.“I choose the big thing,” she said—

“a literary career."“Literary career?” Anna laughed

openly. “Why, Sally Day, you’ve never had a thing published in your life—not even gratuitously ”

Sally smilingly drew a letter from the folds oT her Trtmono.

“R§ad that,” she cried triumphantly.Anni~read with widening eyes.“Oh,” she e«.'l£twe£

“It is,” exulted Sally. "My story I won the first prize of one thous&fid dollars.”

“It will start Peter off nicely in a business of his own, or fix a comforta­ble home for you both,” was Anna’s view.

"Peter is out of it,” declared Sally, half impatiently. "Marriage would in­terfere with my future success”

Anna was silent.“Well?” questioned Sally. “You

know, dear, you always said my voca­tion was a home, husband and babies. What have you to say now?”

Anna met the amused look ln her friend’s eyes, unflinchingly.

“Since you ask.” she retorted, “I will say that I think you a mean, unprin­cipled girl to throw the man who loves you over -without just reason. You never loved him. else you would be glad to share this success of yours with him. Suppose all this—this won­derful future you anticipate—should not materialize, and Peter is lost, too?’

Sally yawned.“What a pessimist you are,” she re­

marked. “Do be quiet while I write to Peter. He will understand, perhaps; but if he don’t”—she shrugged her shoulders and drew forward her writ­ing materials..

“There,” she said when she had fin­ished, “you can mail this for me ln the morning. I’m going' to take a good rest until lun-ch time, after which I shall go for my prize money,”

It was raining tlie next day, and Sally with the wet from her umbrella making little pools on the concrete floor of the outer office, waited pa­tiently for.the great editor of the story magazine to receive her. Finally she was ushered into the presence of that distinguished personage.

Sally unfolded his letter and laid it before him.

“A hem he pursed his lips while glancing the letter over. “Sally Day ls your name, I suppose?"

“Y esS ally looked surprised.The man opened a drawer in his

desk and brought out a neatly type­written manuscript. From a pigeon hole he took another, which Sally rec­ognized as her own. He placed the two side by side.

“Miss Day,” he said, kindly, “my stenographer made a little mistake, for which I am exceedingly sorry. The winner of the first prize is * well- known writer, Miss Eliza Townsley. whose nom-de-plume ls sometimes Sally Day. Miss Townsley’s add res? ls 108 West, while yours ls the same number East. Singular coincidence, ls It not? I am indeed sorry because of the disappointment to you."

He held out her manuscript, which 8be clutched at blindly. Her voice choked, her head swam.

The editor followed her to the door of the outer office.

“Good-day.” he said gently, and added: “Don’t think me cruel if I tell you story writing ia cot your voca­tion.”

How Sally found her way to the etreet again she did not remember.

Anna opened the door and Sally fell sobbing Into her friendly arms.

“It was all a mistake, Anna,” she walled. “You were right; and now I’ve lost Peter, too.”.

“She’s tuned up great and I know you’ll fly back to New York with ease,” he assured.

“And you’re still determined that I shall go today?” she asked eagerly.

“You see, in order to be regarded as really human one has to be de­cidedly inhuman. I’m only taking the one recourse left open to me, by conditions over which I have had any control, for naturally, if I had controlled, I would have been today one of the world’s most acclaimed inventors. So I’m being inhuman because it’s the only way to appear human to a human.”

“Its too complex for me to under­stand it," she replied, “but I cannot see why you should be permanently beyond the influence of reconcilia­tion.”

“The best -way for me to answere&n’t I come back if I want to?” j that is by suggesting a test. Shall she persisted. I?*

“You or no one else shall ever set I “Sure, I want to be shown,” she foot on this island again if I have agreed.tbe power to prevent.”

“But maybe you may get sick and need someone to oare for you,” sh« suggested with obvious concern

“I’m glad to hear you say that for it proves you have not lost all your faith in everything,” she said, as­suming a more serious attitude.

“I still believe in the Supreme Be­ing and I know’ He has proven His love for me,” the earnest man af­firmed. “I’m striving with all my might to be worthy of an exalted eternity. It is for this reason I tried to avoid you entirely when you first landed.”

“But w h y pick on me?” she asked feigning pique.

“I’m not picking on you, but when you came I feared I might do what I always swore I would do if any human being ever intrued upon my seclusion,” he replied.

“Kill?” she asked becoming sud­denly excited.

“Yes, and I went into my hut while ou slept the firstnight feeling I would not be satisfied if I let you survive,” he announced half in shame.

“Oh don’t tell me that you would Lave murdered me,” she begged.

“Yes, I would have ”“Then what stopped you?”“Your innocent beauty,” he con­

that,” shc replied. “I was almost sure I half realized y«u came into the l'.ut that night.”

“Fine! Already there is a great deal of speculation over that wild message of mine, telling about your being stalled mid-air—”

“Oh mercy, I had most forgotten that,” she interrupted, taking on a worried expression. “How will I ever explain that?”

“You don’t need to explain it; you can demonstrate it,” he remarked as cooly as if he were merely discuss­ing the weather.

“I can demonstrate it she repeat­ed after him with much dubiousness

“Yes, before landing at Mineola you can circle the whole city of New York and make them all gasp by stopping dead still at any heighth you choose for a full five minutes,” he announced with a confident smile in which could be discerned the tri­umphant.

“You don’t mean— ” she fairly gasped.

“I mean,” he interrupted, “that you have a combination of automatic stabilizer and mechanical aerial an­chorage on your machine now. It is not only a solution, but a perfec­tion- of a solution to the problem which has beset inventors from the day that the dangers of falling be­came apparent.”

“You are really serious?” she in­quired as doubt persisted to infest her mind.

“Yes, and you will be within an hour’s time,” he reassured her. “However, here’s the test—stop mid air for five minutes over the heart of New York City. Then when you finally alight, do a lot of bragging about* the wonderful attachments on your plane, and if you don’t get ab-

ed to do such a wicked act, and Ithank God I didn’t carry it out,” and the man started to walk away.

Gwen followed him and placed her hand lightly upon his arm.

“Don’t go away from me for a single second,” she begged. “It seems I’m destined to do enough go­ing away for both of us.”

“You shouldn’t mind that.”“But I do very much and I’m de­

She realize more keenly than ever he was quite unlike any other man she had ever met in that he was unalterably immune to all the wiles of woman nor could he be reasoned with for a moment. She winced when she thought of what a terribly lonely existence he was bent on consigning himself to for the sake of gaining world-wide at­

She wasostensibly worried, but in reality shpt was deep in mental anguish. n e r very heart ached. It was to be the saddest leavetaking of her young vivacious life.

She would have gladiy remained on that dreary island indefinitely with this man who confessed hav­ing planned on murdering her. There was something magnetic, even hypnotic about him. In her esti­mation he was a great genius, worthy of unbounded admiration,

and she did admire him almost ex­cessively. She was telling herself especially this as she sat beside her new-found hero in the fuselage of her machine while he was making a final adjustment of a switch. Her steadfast gaze was upon his solemn face. She waited to say something to him, but she was at last too re­signed to the inevitable to summon, much courage and she knew it was certain he would promptly counter with a disheartening rebuff. Not once did this little Gwen think of the perils of the aerial voyage she was about to undertake alone. Her whole mind was concentrated upon irrepressible regret over the condi- ions under which she was soon to bid farewell to a man she wouid like to associate with more.

Hope sensed her sad ruminations and when he was finally satisfied that he had done all in his power to make her plane safe and secure, he met her gaze without flnching.

“Now you’re ready to go— a God­speed,” he said.

Her lips trembled and she could not utter a sound.

“Come, come, girlie, don’t be a fool,” he urged as he divined what this meant.

Her reply was only a steadier stare.

“Why don’t you say something just for the sake of relieving the ten­sion from which you are suffering?” he asked with a slight show of im- fatience.

Thereupon tears wrelled up in the ftirl’s big soulful eyes.

“Please don’t do that,” he beseech- ed as he grappled with a rising sympathy.

All the words the poor girl want­ed to say were choked off by her oncoming emotion, and in despair she covered her fair face with her hands and sobbed convulsively. Hope withstood this as long as he possibly could and then he weaken-* ed. Tenderly he slipped his arm around Gwen’s slender waist and after hesitating momentarily he drew her closer to him.

“It is for your sake, little girl—I am saving you from a futile, un­happy life by sending you away for­ever,” he whispered. “I could never love you or any other human being again, but I regard you as my only friend and—now—good-bye.”

She pressed her face more firmly into her hands. He studied her fora moment. Then he gently pulled those wrhite, shapely hands awray and placing his own rough hand under her chin, raised her head until he forced her to look at him squarely in the eyes. A wan smile crept over her face and a love un­mistakable gleamed out penetrating the man’s big heart. Almost violent­ly he pressed her to his bosom kiss­ing her fervently and she was supremely happy, but not so happy that she did not realize Given U. Hope’s act of strong devotion belied his denials of fostering affection.

However, the joy was of- a winged moment. Hope released the girl from his embrace abruptly and leap­ed out of the machine.

“Now go!” he shouted as soon as he got his footing on the sand.

“And come back?” she asked im­ploringly.

“No never!” he yelled.“I will come back,” she asserted

emphatically.“And if you do there wrill be

naught but tragedy—we will both perish,” he warned.

“Just the same I will not say good­bye,” she replied boldly as she started her engine.

An instant later she released her anchor and the plane shot out to sea with a mighty roar. Never did an air-going craft rise more gracefully. Never did a pilot execute a more perfect circle prior to embarking on a flight.

Given C. Hope watched this wonderful transport of the girl he knew loved him until it passed be­yond the range of his vision. Then most frantically he rushed to the cove where his ho at was moored and began wrorking upon it with desperate haste as if he were bent on putting to sea at the earliest moment!

MISS BESSIE AGNES DWYERTROLLEY MEN ON STRIKE

Atlantic Coast Street Railway Without Service Sunday and Monday.

Trollevinen of the Atantic Coast Electric Railw ay company w ent on a strike Sunday m orn­ing and service on that day and M onday was a t a stand still but was resum ed Tuesday when strikebreakers from New York and N ew ark were put to operat- 1 ing the cars.

Som etim e ago the trolleym en, who have been receiving forty cents an hour and w orking 12 hours a day dem anded an in­crease to sixty-five cents and a nine-hour day. President Hazel­rigg of the com pany had prom is ed to give the men an answ er on Tuesday but the w alkout came two days before when the com­pany refused to take back six m en who had been discharged. I t is alleged that the com pany re ­fuses to state the reason fo r dis­charging the m an but claimed tha t several charges had been preferred against som e of them.

The trolley strike reached the stage of violence last n ight at about 7:30, when a crew of strike breakers was dragged from a car on Main street in Bradley Beach, and ra th e r se­verely beaten. One of the crew, Charles Lux, was rescued from lhe m ob and placed in the bor­ough lock-up fo r protection, la t­er being sen t to the Spring Lake hospital. The hospital today re ­fused to tell the m an ’s condi­tion or the extent of his injuries, bu t it is understood tha t he is suffering from several broken ribs and m issing teeth.

Several local unions including the Pain ters’ union, have endors­ed the strike and acts of violence w hich have been com m itted the trolley m en claim has been with- i out their approval or knowledge | and say tha t the union men have j been positively instructed by their leaders to com m it no act of violence no r to dam age in any way the p roperty of the com­pany.

Yesterday Secretary Brown of the press com m ittee of the tro l­ley m en said that the strikers ■were willing to m eet w ith the com pany and to settle their dis­pute but was not willing to say w hat concessions the strikers would make.

Almost everyone knows that Sage , Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ■ ed, brings back the natural color and j lustre to the hair when faded, streaked 1 or gray. Tears ago the only way to get this mixture was to make It at home, which is mussy and troublesome.

Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul­phur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addiUon of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and venly. You dampen a sponge or soft*brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap­plication or two,'your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.Adv.

CINEMA CHUCKLESOne of the cowboys working at

Universal City under the direction of Jack Ford was bargaining with that youthful artist for one of his several horses. The price asked by Ford was much more than the bronco buster was willing to pay and he tried to withdraw from the trade without ad mitting the real reason.

To cinch the sale the director re­marked, “George, you can’t beat this pony, he’ll travel twelve miles without stopping.”

“Then I can’t use him,” answered the cowboy, quite relieved. “My shack is down the canyon, only eight miles from here.”

Baby Sucks It’s ThumbA n d all th e Scien tists in th e W o r ld C a n ’t S top H im

How is it to be explained that a baby, when still too young to imitate what is going on around it and with­out being taught, acquires what manv doctors and dentists declare to be a very bad habit? Baby mnd-wasps which hatch after their mothers and fathers are dead know how to build their complicated mud nests without being taught. In this human habit of thumb-sucking, which has appeared successively generation after genera­tion in very young babies, or a simi­lar instinctive or hereditary charac­ter?

“If it is hereditary," writes David Fairchild in the Journal of Heredity, “is it beyond question injurious?

“Does it produce protruding teeth and flattened thumbs, arch the roof ol the mouth, or are these changes mere­ly coincidental with the habit?

This is what Dr. Alexander Graham Bell has to say about the thumb- sucking habit:

“The mere act of suction couid produce no such effect as protrusion of the teeth. On the contrary, with a partial vacuum in the mouth the at­mospheric pressure from outside would tend to push the teeth in, not out. Theory would indicate that the act of suction should actually be beneficial to the plastie growing mouth by bringing atmospheric pres­sure into play from outside, tending to consolidate the mouth and oppose any tendency to the spreading of the parts.

Any spreading action could only be due to pressure applied from within. A child, for example, might press his tongue against the roof of the mouth or against the back of the front teeth and thus produce a pressure which if constantly applied would result in a spreading action, but there is no evi­dence that a child ever does this.

“Sucking the thumb is such an in­stinctive action with very young chil­dren that it is probable that most babies, if not all, indulge in the habit during the first year of life. Some people have protruding teeth in adull life and if you examine their past history it is probable that most of them sucked their thumbs in infancy. Hence we are apt to jump to the con­clusion that the sucking of the thumb was the cause of the protrusion of the teeth, in spite of the fact that will be at once perceived by those who know onything about atmospheric pressure that the act of sucUon coul'l not possibly produce any such effect.

“The idea that suction could pro­duce a spreading action in the mouth is as ridiculous as the very common notion that sucking the thumb causes a child to become cross-eyed.”

Mr. Fairchild says that the impor­tance of being able to make or break a habit at will was so drilled into him by one of his friends that it has come to seem oae of the greatest things in life.

“I determined that my first baby should have a fair start and should not be allowed to form any unde­sirable habit,” says Mr. Fairchild “Almost immediately, or certainly when he was only a week or two old, he got his thumb into hig mouth. Everybody admitted that this was tirn beginning of a bad habit. Some pre­dicted that he would make his front teeth protrude and spoil the shape of his mouth, others knew he would ruin

the looks of his thumb, and others said the action would be connected with internal disorders of a serious character.

“With the impression firmly im­planted in our minda that the form­

ing of a habit was the worst thinj that could happen to a baby, we be­gan to try to cure this one of suck­ing his thumb. We tried cassia solu­tion, but he enjoyed the bitter tasi.e. We put tiny mittens on his hands and he either sucked them until they were wet through or pulled them off. We tied his arms, but he always struggled loose. We bought those round aluminum handballs which are supposed to be a real cure, but he bumped his head with them and got into almost hysterical fits of temper.

“The weeks stretched into months and we did not give up the fight. As the months became years we tried bribery and corruption. We threat­ened and we punished.

“The second baby followed in her brother’s footsteps, with variations, and the third baby embroidered the thumb sucking habit by twisting her nighdress or sheet around her third finger.

“By this time we began to realize that we were confronted by some­thing which was not so simple as one of the habits of later life and we finally gave up. There seemed to be something almost instinctive in the way this habit resisted our treatment, and we began to suspect a hereditary character in it.”

At HOMEA Department for Industrious

Housewives

Miss Edith Strauss, in charge of the women's activities in the high cost of living campaign of the Department of Justice, has formulated a set o' Do’s and Don’ts which she wishes every woman, to study, and insofar as each can, to adopt the individual share of reducing expenses. Here are some of the Do’s:

Put aside part of your income for future use.

Make every penny buy a penny’s worth of something really needed.

Invest wisely.Use what money buys with care.Do figure out what each item of

the family expenditures require; rent, food, heat, lighting, clothing, school, charity, doctor, pleasure, etc.

Pay as you buy.Pay bills monthly.Set your own standards.Buy only what you have the money

to pay for.Put aside for a rainy day.

Mining" for Tree SapThe gum or rosin of the Kauri

pine in New Zealand is much sought in the manufacture of varnishes, paints, oils and turpentines, and just as the visible supply seemed to be fail­ing there has been discovered a gi'eat quantity o£ this material under the ground and it is now being mined in much the same manner as coal is mined, except that it is not necessa-y to go so dtH?p. The explanation is that a forest of these trees was over­whelmed and buried at some remote time, and while the tree structure has largely disappeared the gum re­mained in the soil. There are several plants now in operation engaged in recovering the gum from the soil.

The sharper isn’t very keen on meet­ing dull people who have an axe tc grind.

Henry McRae, who just returned from an eight months’ tour of the Orient with a Universal company, headed by Marie Walcamp, filming a serial, was telling a group of fellow directors about the trip and of the remarkable courtesy with which he had met in the far-off corners of the earth.

“The attitude of everyone with

A snapshot of a street in a smal town in. Wyoming is being used at ■Universal City as a pattern for tho .construction of a Western street for a Harry Carey production, “Human Stuff.” The most pretentious building in the picture is a story-and-a-haif wooden structure with a peculiar sign over the door, reading as fol­lows: "Dick’s (followed by a crudepicture of a cow) A.”

The entire company tried in vain to dechipher the sign which was finally explained by a cowboy who hails from the Wyoming range. The cow is supposed to be a calf, and the sign is intended for “Dick's Calf A.”

“It’s pretty bad when you have to pay ?16 a quart for Bourbon,” re­marked a certain film actor to Harry Franklin, the Universal director.

“It’s much worse when you pay ten,” replied Franklin. “I know. I’ve tried it”

CANNING-HOUSE TOMATO SEED ARE DANGEROUS FOR PLANTING

Canning house run tomato seed should be avoided as it is usually made up of a mixture of strains and varieties and is likely to carry dis­ease germs and produce an inferior yield and quality of fruit

Whenever possible, seed should be bought from selected stock of the variety best adapted to the locality in which the crop is to be grown Few canning companies have given sufficient attention to this phase of the work to be able to supply such seed. United States Department of Agriculture specialists say it would be wise for the canners to make a specialty of the saving of high-grade seed.

The commercial production of high- grade seed requires the supervision of a man trained in the principles and skilled in the methods of breeding and of seed saving. As careful work of this kind is done chiefly by reputably seedmen their seed is much better than that saved and offered for sale at canning houses.

Crossing the tomatoes, such as nat­urally occurs in fields or plants grown from the mixed seed from canxeries, brings out the crop in many qualities that do not usually appear in the parent varieties.

These are chiefly small and rougl. fruit, pale flesh and pulp, thin walls and partitions, and low percentage of solids. Although not all these chai- acters occur as a rule, in the same fruit, some of them occur in so many fruits that they reduce the yield an-i quality of the crop.

Land adjoining some canning house? where refuse from wilt-infected to­matoes has been dumped has uucorne so full of the wilt-producing fungus that a crop of tomatoes cannot bo grown on it. Seed saved from such tomatoes would not only carry disease but it would also mix with seed from good tomatoes. Moreover, disease- bearing particles from the wilt-infected tomatoes would adhere to good seed. Both the diseased seed and the seed carrying disease germs on its surface would carry disease into the seed bed and field.

This method of distributing disease organisms to seed in the canning house is not limited to the wiit dis­ease.

It got darker and darker, and the rain run down the window-panes so sorrowful that it set me to sheddin’ tears in the pillow. My ankle hurt somethin' fierce, and my heart was hurtin’, too. Nobody brought me any supper, and I was just getting tuned up for a beauti­ful long weep when the door flew open and in came Freddy. It was pitch- dark, but I could tell it was him by the cigarette smoke and hair tonic smell when he got inside the door, as I was feelin’ mighty abused and ready for a big tantrum, but he didn’t pay no at­tention to me.

‘“ Get your clothes packed—quick!’ he snaps at me. We’re going to leave on this train!’ I stopped snuffin’ quick and set up in bed. ‘What?’ I said, mad all over. ‘What’s the mat­ter with you?’ I says. ‘Here I’ve been Iayin’ for half a day with a broken ankle, and you never pay no attention to me! I can’t pack! I can’t even step! ’

“He backed off a little when he sa that I was mad and began some of his soft talk. He had been workm’ on a big deal, he explained, and now he had got his chance. We were go­ing to a city far away where nobody did know us, and there we would build that cottage and live happy ever after That’s the kind of talk he handed me, mister—me sittin’ uip in bed in the dark, with my nose and eyes all swelled up and my foot feelin’ like it had been run over by the Brooklyn trolley!

around on one foot, getting my clothes into the grips, and we went down to the station. Freddy carryin the bags and kind of draggin’ me along, groanin’ at every step. There wasn’t no cabs in the burg, and the way we went, slippin’ through back streets and alleys—to get there quicker, Freddy said—we wouldn’t have met any if there had been thou­sands. The train was late and we stood under a leaky shed, waiting, Freddy fumin’ like I was to blame for the railroad runnin’ behind their schedule. When it come in, he threw me on like I was a sack of mail, and we left the town and old Pat Dixon and the La Reur family behind.

“We had gone about fifty miles, I guess, when I remembered about seein’ Freddy’s father in the show, and I told him about it.

“Then we got off in a hig town with electric lights and Freddy put me in a cab and took me to a little old hotel, where they gave us a little back room so narrow we had to park the furni­ture to get the door open. My ankle was swelled up like an elephant’s foot by this time, and was thumpin’ like seven roughnecks driving stakes at once. I managed to get into bed, and lay there full of misery and wonderin’ what was going to happen to us.

‘It was nearly midnight, but Freddy went out and left, saying that he had to meet a man. I was so worn out I dropped asleep, and along about day­light somebody woke me poundin’ on the door. I turned over and yelled to em to come in, thinkin’ it might be Freddy, but it wasn’t. It was three big, rough-lookin’ men, and with them was old It. M. Hawkins!

‘They filed into the room, looking sort of foolish, when they found out Freddy wasn’t there. Old R. M. didn’t say anything, but one of the big men, who hadn’t shaved in a week, explained to me that they had a war­rant for Freddy for passing forged rotes and checks on his relations back in Hawkinsville, but that his father, old R. M., had generously ottered to to make the shortage good if Freddy would come back home and go to work in the livery stable. It seemed that Freddy had spent most of his life shootin’ craps with stable-hands and

that was the way he’d been employin' his time since we’d been married, drawin’ on me when he lost, and when my pile run out he’d took to touchin’ up his family tree for the balance.

"Well, from the way old R. M. looked at me, I could see he didn’t include any martial incumbrances in his forgivin’ offer, so I never said a word; only told ’em that I didn’t know where Freddy was. Down in my heart there was a foolish idea that, no mat­ter what he might have done, they couldn’t tear Freddy Bell away from me. That shows you how much of a fool I was!

For Freddy never come back! OM R. M. and his officers searched the town for him, but they never found him either. I guess Freddy had seen ’em first. Old R. M. loosened up and threw a 10-dollar bill on my bed when he left, and I left town as soon as I could walk and went with another medicine show. But I never saw my temperamental husband again! A long time after that, when I’d most forgot him, there came a notice from a lawyer, sayin’ the marriage had been annulled on account of Freddy being under age. That was all.

“But when the wind blows like it does today, mister, and you can smell the ground sort of moist and growing like, it all comes back to me again. I can see them fool visions I used to see—cottages with roses over the doors, and little, yellow-haired chil dren swingin’ on the gates—and me a fat, lonesome old woman, with ■nothin' runnin’ around the house but the eircumferance! It’s fierce, mis­ter! It’s certainly fierce!”

Mrs. McJimsey heaved a sigh that shook her from her three chins to her swollen feet

The paperhanger rose up slowly and and stiffly, rubbing his eyes. He had been asleep.

‘What about the little piece of cloth?” he inquired.

W hat is CHIROPRACTICIt is the most modern, efficient, and scientific, drugless method of removing the cause of any acute or chronic dis-ease, instead of treating tne effect.The brain is the great dynamo of the body. The Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves are the purveyors of Life Power from the brain to all organs, just as the wires are the purveyors of electricity from itoe dynamo to the motor. This Spinal cord is surrounded by 24 moveable, bony rings or joints called vertebrae; between each adjacent pair a Spinal nerve emits. If any of this vertebrae, through jars, falls, or any other accident become misaligned or misplaced (and they sure do), this hard, bony ring will press on the soft Spinal nerve, thus intefereing\vith the transmission of life power from the brain to the organ which this particular pinched nerve sup­plies. Therefore, the organ is in a partial or complete paralyzed state, which means partial or complete absence of function.

This is DIS-EASEThe CHIROPRACTOR finds these misplaced vertebrae and adjusts them into pro­per alignment, thus allowing the life power from the brain to flow freely over the now unobstructed nerve to the organ, and normal conditon is restored.

This is HEALTH /RHEUMATICS who have tried everything and failed; STOMACH, LIVER, HEART, LUNG, and KIDNEY TROUBLES of all varities respond very readily to Chiro­practic adjustments. ALSO THE INCURABLES; people who have TUBER­CULOSIS, GOITRE, DEAFNESS, EPILETICS, PARALYSIS, ASTHMA, the BUND, and thru the long list of other dis-eases such as INSOMNIA and all NER­VOUS troubles, the various kinds of HEADACHES, etc., are wonderfully benefit­ed by this MOST MODERN SCIENCE CALLD CHIROPRACTIC.

Progress in Collection of Excess Profits on Wool Reported by Department Experts

L a rg e D ea le rs H o ld in g $533,000 P e n d in g In c o m e T a x D ecision ; C o n g ress a t Sea

The Department of Agriculture re- without permits.cently announced the results of a j The bureau has secured reportshearing in Washington, called by the trom a11 o£ the lar°e central dealers

- . and has nearly completed its audits.Secretary of Agriculture, on matters , T . ,, , , ,M any of these dealers, however, havepertaining to the valuation of handl- teen holding excess profits amounting ing of the 1919 wool clip. The hearing to about $553,000 pending decision of was granted in response, primarily, the Treasury Department as to whe- to numerous requests by Texas wool ther or not income tax will be col- growers, but it developed into a con­sideration both of territory wool and fleece wool. Territory wool is pro duced west of the Missouri River and the eastern boundary of Texag and pradtically all of it in 191-8 was ship ped on a consignment basis to Govern­ment distributing centers. Fleece wool, produced east of that line, was largely purchased in small lots through a large number of country dealers. The points at issue in the hearing, therefore, were different for the two classes of wool.

The facts developed showed that nearly all of the questions at issue so far as the Texas growers are con eemed can be handled only by the War Department, and arrangements are being made for adjudication by the proper authorities in that depart­

ment . The complaint of the Texas growers, primarily, is that too large deductions for dirt and other impur­ities were made in valuing Texas wool and that, therefore, the growers re­ceived too little for their wool.

The questions that were presented relating to fleece wool come under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture, the wool division of the War Industries Board having been transferred to the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture by Executive order December 31, 1918.Reports Collection of Excess Profits

The Bureau of Markets made a re­port, covering the period since the transfer, showing the work of securing sworn reports, auditing them, and col­lecting excess profits which will be re­turned to the growers. It was shown that, in addition to the 3600 country dealers to whom permits were issued by the War Industries Board, the Bu­reau of Markets has discovered about 800 country dealers who operated

lected on these sums. The Commis­sioner of Internal Revenue ruled, on April 9, that, payment of income tax on excess profits on 1918 wool will not be insisted on where payment is made to the Bureau of Markets according to the regulations governing the 1918 clip.

The report showed a total of over ?1,000,000 In excess profits to be col­lected and distributed to growers. This showing is on the face of reports submitted by the dealers themselves, to the Bureau of Markets has not audited the books of the dealers.Government Officials at ConferenceIn addition to the Secretary of Agri­

culture, officials of the Bureau of Mar kets and representatives of the wool growers, there were in attendance at the hearing Bernard M. Baruch, for­mer chairman of the War Industries Board; Lewis Penwell, former chie of th« wool section; Judge Edwin B. Parker, a former member of the board; Charles J. Nichols, formerly wool ad­ministrator for the War Department representatives of the Quartermastrr General’s office; and a number ot Members of Congress. All of these exhibited the keenest interest in the collection of excess wool profits and pledged full Bupport to the Depart ment of Agriculture in enforcing the regulations. Members of Congress re quested the department to advise them as to any further legislation that may be necessary to accomplish thi end. Secretary Meredith spoke of Agriculture to press the work of col­lecting and distributing excess profits as vigorously as possible with the limited funds and personnel available.

The point was brought out that it 13 not necessary at this time for individ­ual wool growers to file claims for re­funds of excess profits.

G R O W IN G BULBS IN GRAVELMany of the beautiful spring flow­

ering bulbs may be grown in artistic flower jars containing only water and clean white pebbles that will prove attractive to the most fastidious. We have all seen this method employed for the Chinese lilies, but few people realize that it may be also employed to good advantage for other bulbs.

Many bulbs may be grown from the first in the pebbles, but there are better results from starting them in the usual way in soil in boxes or flower pots and then transferring them to the pebbles when they show their buds. To do this it is only necessary to carefully wash the roots free from soil and bury them in the pebbles, taking care to break them as little as possible. The florists now offer through the winter “started bulbs” in pots that hold about a dozen plants. These are ideal for such trans­fers and save the trouble of growing the bulbs from the beginning.

In choosing the bowls and jars for the bulbs there is splendid opportun­ity for artistic effect. Preferably they should he beautiful in form and simple in outline, subdued and har­monious in coloring and with little decorations. In general they shou d

be low and broad, and they should certainly be watertight so that they can be placed safely upon shelf or table.

The pebbles can be found at the seaside or In the gravel banks as well as in the Japanese and aquarium shops. They are most attractive when mostly white, and the stones should not measure more than half an inch in diameter, most of them being about half that size. Two or three quarts will be an ample supply, as the peb­bles are readily washed out to be used over and over again.

Of course, the Chinese lily narcissus is the standard bulb to grow entirely

I in pebbles. Remove the outer brown i coats of the bulbs and make three or four vertical cuts in the outer scales to give freedom of growth for leaves and flower stalks. Then bury the bulbs in the pepples nearly to their tops if the bowl is deep enough or set them on top if the bowl is shal­low. In either case keep them in the light in a cool, uniform temperature, especially for the first three weeks.

By far the most satisfactory way to grow the paper white narcissus is in pebbles. Bury the bulbs well in the little stones so that the tops show.

The FurrowNews a n d Views About the Farm

Always breed from matured stock Full development, is essential. A 4- y earmold-male of desirable qualifica­tions, in robust health, is better able to head a breeding pen than an im­mature or under-sized young bird.

A male’s value is really two-fold; he must produce fertile eggs, and he must transmit his own desirable qual­ities to thpse eggs. The latter capac­ity is sometimes lacking because of an impaired constitutional vigor.

A reduced vitality can come from a number of causes. In single, flocks it frequently transpires that the male is too gallant, too attentive to his flock to respect food. It is not un­common for such a male to become half-starved, in which case it becomos necessary to retire the bird for a week or so to restore his vitality. Give him a pen by himself with plenty ot feed.

When an incubator is not in use the lamp should be removed, emptied, draped in paper to exclude dust, and stored in a clean place. This is of greater importance than the novice may imagine. If the lamp is kept in the heater, and it is almost sure to contain some oil, this oil will creep up and soak into the jacket which surrounds the heater. Later, when the incubator is started, this oil- soaked heater will throw off a nasty smoke, and probably frighten the in­experienced operator.

Nathing to Fear from FireThe smoking will exhaust itself iu

time, of course, but it is very dis­agreeable. If the lamp has stood in the heater since last season, it may take a day for the oil to be dried out by keeping the lamp burning suffi­ciently to warm parts of the heater. There is little to be feared from fire.

When the incubator lamp smokes and it is not turned up too high, it is because of insufficient draught at the burner. Perhaps the perforated brass screen, which is intended to supply fresh aid to the flame, is choked with dust or grease. Be sure to keep this screen clean. Brush it daily with the same care that you will give to filling the lamp. And never allow any ac­cumulation of soot or oil on the tank. Incubators are simple to operate, but they must be attended regularly and carefully.

Lamps that bum with a fish-tail flame are likely to smoke. Such a flame is caused by projecting corners of the wick. Trim these corners with a pair of scissors and there will be a nicely rounded flame that will in­sure the greatest heat without risk of smoking.

In filling the incubator lamp, always allow room for the expansion o£ the fuel; keep the oil at least one-quarter inch from the top of the tank If this precaution is not observed, as the oil is warmed it will expand and overflow the tank, making a mess of things.

Provide for Escape of GasSee that the gas escape from the

lamp bowl is clear. As a general thing, this escape is simply a small hole punched in the filled cap. Duo to the act that incubator lamps burn continuously, the oil is warmed which causes the formation of gas. There is no danger from the gas, pro­vided it is not put under pressure. The hole in the filler cap allows the gradual escape of any gas in a harm­less manner. If the manufacture.) has failed to put a hole in the filler cap or provided other means for the escape of gas, the purchaser should do so.

Variations of a degree or two in the running of an incubator have no ef­fect upon a hatch, provided these vari­ations are not sustained for Ions

require constant attention in some at­mospheres.

periods. If, however, a variation of one degree, or even a half degree, is maintained for the entire hatching period of 21 days, the change in the number of heat units received by the eggs is quite considerable, and dis­aster is almost certain to follow. This brings us to the very important question of the accuracy of the ther­mometer.

Because a thermometer is new, or bears no trace of mechanical injury, is no assurance as to its accuracy. It is possible for a thermometer to register correctly when it leaves the factory, and in a year’s time be a degree or a fraction of a degree off. Glass changes—undergoes structural changes—much the same as wood contracts, and the seasoning process alters, or is likely to alter, the regis­ter of the mercury.

.Obviously, to be sure of a ther­mometer, it should be tested each year at the beginning of the hatch ing season. Any optical store will certify a thermometer for a small charge, and with this certified ther­mometer you can test any number of others. Or you can buy a certified clinical thermometer and do all your own testing.

To test a thermometer is nothing more than comparing it with an in strument of known accuracy, with warm water as medium. Place the instrument in luke warm water, being careful to observe that both are im­mersed under precisely the same con­ditions.

When hatching eggs are first placed in an incubator, though the temperature of the egg chamber may have registered normally, the heat will fall instantly. In fact, the ther­mometer will probably fall so low as not to be read at all. Do not be alarmed; this is to be expected. It is due to the coolness of the eggs. They have had a temperature of 55 degrees, and if there are several hun­dred of them in the one chamber, it will take 12 hours or more for the incubator to warm them to the cor­rect temperature.

CENSORSHIP OF THE HEARTMonth after month of daily, persona:

intercourse between the boys of the A. E. F. and the gallant Salvation Army lassies who served them in France, with not a single romance re­sulting—this is a record unique among the annals of welfare organizations. For practically every other band of workers who went overseas—the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights -.'f Columbus, and many others—counted as a result numberless engagements and marriages between its members and the khaki-clad heroes whom they want to aid. But the Salvation Army alone stands out from all the rest as tbe one organization whose girls came home just as they had gone—whole­hearted and fancy free. And the rea­son is not hard to find.

For one of the strictest regulations of Salvation Army life is one which re­quires a pledge from every member that he will never marry anyone who will take him outside of the Army. And this, of course, applies to women as well as to men.

In the case of officers particularly, or candidates for officership, the rules, while rather unusual, are at the same time very interesting. Such ques­tion as, “Are you courting? If not. do you pledge yourself to do nothing of the kind while you are a candidate lor a commission, during training and for at least twelve months after your appointment as a field officer?” must he satisfactorily answered before the applicant is accepted and allowed to enter one of the training schools for officers.

And, although they may seem rather personal in character, the results achieved by the questions and the honest answers given them have proved many times over that they are a wise procedure. For it is a well known fact that matrimonial troubles among the members of the Salvation Army are very few and far between, and it is to this personal question­naire which every applicant is required to fill out, that Army ofiicials attribute the peaceful martial relations that

prevail."Our regulations as to engagement's

and marriages have proved the salva­tion of many a young person”, declared Captain Violet McAllister recently, in discussing the matter. Captain Mc-

i Allister, who, with her sister, Lieu­tenant Alice McAllister, spent eign- teen months in France with A. E. F., is one of the outstanding figures among the younger officers of the Army in Philadelphia.

‘‘It often happens”, she continued, “that hoys and girls who are attracted to each other mistake this natural attraction for lasting affection, and thoughtlessly plunge into matrimony, with frequently tragic results. But every officer or candidate for officer ship in our organization who contem­plates marriage muist first secure tho

1 consent of Headquarters to his or her engagement, and then wait a pre­scribed length of time before marry­ing. This makes it a step that cannot be taken without serious thought and preparation, giving the persons in­volved plenty of time in which to be­come thoroughly acquainted and make up their minds as to the future. We

| have found it to be an admirable pro­vision, and our marriages nearly al­ways turn out happily.”

Besides the pledge to ignore all mat ters of the heart while in training for a commission, and for at least a year after his or her appointment, every candidate is made fully to understand and abide by the fact that he or she will probably not be allowed to marry for two years after becoming an offi­cer. This regulation, however, ia waived in the case of persons who

!were engaged before applying for a commission. No young maja, however, is ever granted permission to marry before he is twenty-two years of age, unless required by Headquarters for special service in which a married man would be mere acceptable than a single one.

F o r a second tim e this week tlie m am m oth kings of the finny tribe appeared off the coast here this m orning. On Monday fou r sm all whales play­fully cavorted am ong the break­ers less than a ha lf m ile aw ay from the Asbury P a rk and Ocean Grove Boardwalk. To­day there w ere five in the school—one very big fellow approxim ately m ore than a hundred feet long and fo u r of about fifty feet feet in length. This quintette was m ost visible when they reached a point a- bout three-quarters of a mile off of the Belm ar Boardwalk Large crowds w atched the whales fo r several m inutes in both instances.

The appearance of the whales revives a n old superstition to the effect tha t it is asign of a forthcom ing catastrophe fo r such large inhabitants of the deep to come so near to land. It is said w ar is invariably in- pending in such cases, bu t just w hy no one is able to say. One believer in tlie superstition points out that it is a m atte r of record tha t the French coast was actually infested with whales ju st fou r m onths prior to the declaration of w ar which plunged the w orld into its w orst disaster.

One thing is sure several fo r­tunes ventured m ighty close to eager fisherm en w hen those whales paid their two visits to these waters. One whale prop­erly lugged would bring any fisherm an $35,000 or more.

ONE PRACTICAL JOKE COSTS A YORKER $1,000

Practical joking is a precarious occupation and it seldom pays. This was once more shown in the ex­perience of Lou A. Bixwell of New York City -who last night undertook to frighten a party o f friends by making believe he was going to drive into Shark river from Ttfver Road near Belmar. The subsequent screaming of the two women who occupied the car and the excited yelling of the two other men confus­ed the driver to such an extent that he undertook to make too sharp a turn and broke his steering ap­paratus, causing his car to crash into a post and almost completely wreck­ing it. One of the women sustained a fractured arm and the face of one of the men was badly lacerated.

"I’m extremely sorry—it is all my fault and I have learned a lesson,” Bixwell said shortly after the acci­dent. "My message to practical jokers is, don’t do it

It is estimated this one little fanci­

ful act will cost Bixwell a thousand dollars and the unprofitable part of such erring is perfectly obvious. '

His car was salvaged this morning and with his friends he departed for New York by train.

FORCED TO BECOME PIRATE

LIKE THE ANGEL OF DEATHNo "Belt er Bar er Brand" Can Shut

Out Nervy Reporter Bent on an Interview.

'lhe Hon. James Henry Smith, trust magnate and profiteer, sat In the ma­hogany and plush drawing-room ol his mansion at Stlngem-by-the Sea and smiled. For days the federal grand Jnry had tried unsucci -fully to arrest him for raising the pi ..e of red flan­nel underwear. Fm >eeks his wife had tried to serve a summons on him to appear and pay back alimony. For months a stenographer had been try­ing to collect a judgment for breach of promise.

Hob. James Henry Smith was en­titled to smile. At Stingem-by-the- Sea he was safe. Armed guards pa­trolled his grounds. Charged wires pro­tected the entrances. Bloodhounds spiffed the pathways. There was a bronze padlock to the front door to which the Hon. James Henry held the key. A detective sat In the hallway with a shotgun in his lap. Just out­side the drawing-room door a burglar alarm was concealed under a rug. res, take it all in all, it seemed safe.

As the Hon. James Henry mused, a Mttle. smiling individual appeared at the front entrance. He jumped nimbly over the charged wire, slapped the captain of the guards on the back, pat­ted the bloodhound on the head, fitted a duplicate key in the padlock, shoved a cigar in the detective’s face, skipped nimbly over the burglar-aiarm rug, and, pushing open the door to tlie drawing-room, stepped inside.

“Hello Jimmy!” he said affably.The banker rose heavily.“Who in h— are you?” he asked in a

hoarse voice.The blithe, smiling individual

chucked his hat on a table and puilpd out a wad of copy-paper and a pencil.

“Who, me?” he chuckled. “I’m a reporter. Nice place you have.”

And the interview was on - - *

OLD MYSTIC RITE TEMPLEVestibule Uncovered at Rome Scene of

Historic Event That Was De­scribed by Tacitus.

A religious, discovery, but of a pagan kind, was made some time ago nnder the railway embankment a few hundred yards outside the Porta Mag- gior#, Home. Italy. It consists of a vestibule elaborately decorated with mythological svbjects such as Jason taking the Golden Fleece, the punish­ment of Marsyas by Apollo, the story of the Donalds, the liberation of Aeson and a troop of Moenads riding on pan­thers. It is conjectured that this ves­tibule was a place where, in the early decades of the first century of our era, mystic rites were celebrated. In­deed, it Is supposed that this was the exact locality of an historical event, described by Tacitus in the twelfth book of his “Annals” as having hap­pened in 53 A. IX, during the reign of Claudius. The historian relates how Agrippina, mother of the future Emperor Nero, coveted the gardens of T. Statilius Taurus, who had been consul a few years earlier and gov­ernor of Africa, and how she im­provised an accusation against hirr, through a certain Tarquitius Priscus of practicing illegal mystic rites. Statilius Taurus anticipated his trial and now, nearly 19 centuries later an accidental landslip on the railwaj has led to the elucidation of this for­gotten episode of Roman history.

COUNTRY OF MIXED RACESBest Qualities of Three Great Peoples

Declared Mingled in the Dwellers in Alsace.

As we came out of the square (at St. Amarin) little boys were bringing In armfuls of wood for their school­room stoves; others were already noisily scampering home for dinner in the crisp, sawdusty air; straight col­umns erf smoke from many chimneys evoked women, standing about nooday fires; there was a homely human feel­ing about it all.

As I went through the Echool It seemed to me that the types of the children were modified la two ways. Inclining now toward the elongated head, with pointed chin, dark hair, dark eyes and mantling color; now toward the round-headed, square-jaw­ed. blond type, with full, dreamy, blue eyes. But under these modifications one felt that there was a persistent something, that was their own, neither German nor French nor anything else, for all the mingling; the Alsatian root and stem, with an Inalienable, peculiar life mounting in it, its very own, its race gift.

And this essential gift, this rich, di­verse inheritance, had been received from each point of the compass. From the south, through the defiles of the Alps, the Great Latin traditions had infiltrated. From the north and east had come Germanic thought, with its mystical reactions, its metaphysical Inclinations, Its marvelous legends, and its romantic chronicles Of gods and half gods. From the west, from Gaul, came grace and courtesy and the deathless wish for liberty. Was ever a people more richly endowed?— From “Alsace in Rust and Gold,” by Sditls O'Shauehnessy.

Great-Grandfather of President Fill, more Coerced Into Saillna Under

the Black Flag.

John Fillmore, great-grandfather oi Millard Fillmore, the thirteenth presi­dent of the United States, was a pi­rate, though he was a pirate in spite of himself. The story begins with the first quarter of fhe eighteenth century, when tiie freebooters. Bluebeard, Low and Phillips, swept the Atlantic coast from Jamaica to Newfoundland. Phil­lips captured tbe Dolphin of Cape Ann a vessel commanded by Andrew Harriden.

Harriden discovered among the pirates’ crew two young men, John Flltoore and Edward Cheesman, whom PhilRps had captured and made pirates against their will. *They had determined either to es­cape from the pirate's clutches or to capture his vessel acd bring him and his crew to justice. They fixed an appointed hour for making the attempt at escape, after reaching an agreement with Harriden.

The signal was given when only three were on deck, one of whom was Phillips. One of the men was thrown overboard, and the other two were killed. This was done while the crew was below in the hold of the ship. The captors then sprang into the hold and placed the rest of the crew in chains, steered the vessel for Boston, and arriveo there May 3, 1724. Two of the pirates were hanged, while Fillmore, Cheesmas and his con­federates were acquitted.

FORESEE APPROACH OF DEATHWriter Tells of Instances Where Ani­

mals Evidently Sensed Dissolution and Feared It.

I am perplexed at the way In which the lower animals sometimes have a premonition of death and fear it, while at other times they appear to be per­fectly Indifferent to death.

I have known a dog to beg not to be taken on a railway journey, when usu­ally he used to dance about with de­light when he saw these preparations being made. On the occasion on which he exhibited distress he slipped off the platform, was run over and killed.

I have known a horse who was a very free juniper refuse obstinately a small fence and, when his rider forced him over it the horse broke his back.

A bullfinch—not a pet, but merely one of a cageful of birds—dropped down screaming; I took him out and so long as he lay in my hand he was quite quiet, but he screamed if I at­tempted to put him back on some cot­ton wool. He lay in my hand for a quarter of an hour and died quite quietly.

I have had a horse refuse to pass under a tree under wThich he had pass­ed every day for years. It was a perfectly calm day. I drove him round the tree, and as I did so a big branch fell upon exactly the spot on which we would have been if I had not let the horse go round.—From tlie Conti­nental Edition of the London Mail.

Must Earn Nature’s Favors.Nature will not reveal her beauty,

her joy, her splendor, her magnificence or her sublimity to the selfish or the hurried soul. She thinks too much of her great treasures of marvelous mys­tery to fling them out to the penurious, greedy, hurried human being, to the casual eye, to those who are rushing along at railroad speed. No one can successfully woo and win her who is not willing to study her, take time to observe her. and listen to her voice. She tells her secrets, reveals her mys­teries and beauties only to those who know how to wait, who take time to think, to ponder; to those who can appreciate and love these things well enough to spend time with her.—Ori­son Swett Marden in Chicago News.

No High Cost of Clothing Here.When a hole is worn in tapa cloth it

is only necessary to moisten the edges and beat them together. Tapa cloth was once woven or pounded into shape in many parts of the South Sea islands. It is made of the barks of the banana, breadfruit or mulberry. The rough outer bark is first scraped off and the inner fibers are beaten to­gether and allowed to ferment. So fine is the texture of the cloth that one would never imagine it had been prepared in this crude manner. It is bleached to a dazzling white color in the sun, and when made into gar­ments is practically indestructible.— Boys’ Life.

Manhattan In the Indian Tongue.We had a sad shock the other day

when we learned from one of our learned clients that Manhattan, in the Indian tongue, is said to mean “The place where they all get drunk.” Ac­cording to William Loring Andrews’ book, “The Bradford Map” (1893), shown by James F. Drake, the na­tive name was coined in happy mem­ory of the greatly regrettable revel that transpired when Peter Minuit (we think it was) put over his deal with the Indians with the aid of a flagon of schnapps. We trust Mr. An­derson will take immediate steps to have the name of the island changed —Christopher Morley tn New York Evening Post
