Park Improvements Are To Be Made

PARK AT HEAD OF SILVER LAKE

TO BE BEAUTIFIED

Miss Mary L. Githens, Chairman

Civics Committee of Belmar Wom­

an’s Club Submits Plans for the

Work and Offer of Club—Council

W ill Co-operate.

Miss Mary L. Githens, chairman of Ihe Civics committee of Belmar Woman’s club, submitted plans to the Mayor and Council Tuesday night for beautifying the park at the head of Silver lake. Her letter stated that the club would pay one-half the cost of making the improvements which were estimated at about $500. The plans, in the main, wrere very pleas­ing to the council and it was voted to accept the offer of the club and to co-operate to an amount not exceed­ing §250. Miss Githens has been asked to work out more definite plans. The plans call for concrete walks, ornamental lights, etc.

It is expected that a new boundary line between Belmar and Avon will be established and a letter wTas re­ceived from Borough Engineer Clyde Potts calling attention to the neces­sity of preparing a bill to go before the Legislature in order that this might be done. Attorney Harry R. Cooper was instructed to prepare the resolution to go before the councils of the two boroughs and the bill to be submitted to the Legislature. At this time there is land on the Belmar side of the river assessable in Avon and land on the Avon side on which peo­ple pay taxes in Belmar. The new line will run practically through the center of the new channel of the river. It is understood that the pro­ject is not only satisfactory to the councils of Belmar and Avon but that both wish the new line established and that the bill w ill pass the legis­lature as soon as the resolutions are acted upon by council.

The Good W ill hose company re­ported that J. David Scudder has been elected a member and the coun­cil ratified the election.

It was voted to employ Thomas Proctor of Long Branch to repair the jetties along the ocean front. Mr. Proctor has done considerable work of this kind in and near Belmar and his services have always been found satisfactory.

The Mayor and clerk were author­ized to execute a contract for taking over the lights at Inlet Terrace as agreed upon several weeks ago and as recommended by former Council­man Bamford.

Councilman Thompson of the Wa­ter committee reported on the cost of a new smokestack for the water works station and after discussing the various kinds it was voted to purchase an eighty-foot, forty-inch iron stack of the John Beggs com­pany of New York. The price at the factory is $495. It was found that a round brick structure would cost about $2110 and a brick chimney with square base about $2350. It wras stated that an iron stack would last about eight years and it was probable that a larger chimney would be required for the plant by that time as the present rate of increase in the water pumped will sooner or later necessitate installing another boiler.

The Highway committee was in­structed to have the drain from Sil­ver lake to the ocean opened with­out delay and to have the Superin­tendent of Streets proceed with the work.

It was voted lo increase the salary of the police from $60 to $65 a month as long as satisfactory service is ren­dered.

TO OBSERVE C. E. DAY.

The Christian Endeavor society of the First Presbyterian church will hold special services Sunday even­ing, commemorating the thirty-sixth anniversary of the C. E. movement.

W. J. Anderson of Asbury Park, a noted enthusiastic speaker among the young people, will be the speaker of the evening.

An interesting musical program has also been arranged in which local people will participate, among whom will be Miss Emma VanNote, W. A. Gassin and Miss Anna Valen­tine.

NEW BANK OPENS

The new Merchants National Bank of Asbury Park of which Mayor Robert G. Poole of Belmar is cashier, opened in temporary quarters at 206 Bond street yesterday. Later the bank will have its own building at the north-east corner of Mattison avenue and Bond street.

James M. Ralston is president of the new bank, Samuel A. Reeves the vice president and the following are the directors: John Bingham, How­ard L. Borden, Frank H. Cole, Robert G. Poole, James M. Ralston, Samuel A. Reeves, Harry W. Smock and Hen­ry Steinbach.

“The Venetians,” a company of musicians, will appear in the audi­torium of the Public School build­ing Saturday evening, Fe'bruary 17, as an extra number of the People’s Popular Entertainment course. The Scorer Lyceum bureau, which fur­nishes the course, upon learning that the Bland-Hipple Orchestral com- 'pany failed to please Belmar people at once signified a willingness to make amends and on Tuesday W. E. Allen, secretary of the Entertainment committee of Belmar Board of Trade, received the following letter from John G. Scorer, manager of the bu­reau:

Jan. 27, 1917.Mr. W. E. Allen,Sec., Lyceum Course,Belmar, N. .1.

My dear Mr. Allen:—We have been investigating the work of the Bland Orchestra and find out of 11 places from which we have heard they were “highly satisfactory” at four; “satisfactory” at 2 and “unsatisfac­tory” at 5. Orchestra should have been “highly satisfactory” at all of the eleven.

H. L. Bland, the manager and own­er of the orchestra, has failed to make good on his contract with us. The only thing that we can do is never to have further dealings with him. We must depend upon man­agers keeping their contracts with us. When they fail, and it isn’t of­ten, we are “the goat.” But we will do everyr thing possible to keep faith with our patrons. That’s our policy, ever if we go broke in doing it.

W ill you accept The Venetians for Saturday Feb. 17th a make amends for the orchestra? There will be no expense to you. We will send ad­vertising matter for this attraction. This attraction is making very good. It is now with our Ohio bureau and will come to us in a few days. Sor­ry we can’t offer you some other evening than Saturday, but Feb. 17th is the only open date in that month. The only other open date is Satur­day, March 17th.

W ill you let us know by return post if you will accept this attrac­tion? We would like to get the adver­tising matter to you in time for the

made very extensive alterations and improvements to the inside and out­side of the building. The photo­graph here reproduced shows the present condition of the exterior and the big improvements made therein. The piazzas surrounding the second and third lloors have been removed and the entire exterior stuccoed, with a handsome tile roof.

The interior of the ground floor has been entirely remodeled. In place of the various small rooms one enters into a large foyer and office extending across the entire front of the building. Every bed room will have hot and cold water and twenty new modern bath rooms are to be in­stalled. The entire interior will be re-decorated, re-papered and painted and the entire hotel re-furnished from top to bottom. The improve­ments made and contemplated will cost $50,000.

Mr. Teunon is desirious of inter­esting the citizens and property hold­ers of Belmar in this project and on Thursday night a meeting was held at the residence of Paul T. Zizinia, Inlet Terrace. Those present were Senator O. H. Brown of Spring Lake, well known for the great success he has made of the new hotels in Spring Lake and Asbury Park; Newton A. IC. Bugbee of Trenton, Republican State Chairman and State Comptrol­ler-elect and a summer resident of Belmar; Mayor Robert G. Poole; Cyrus B. Honce and Neil H. Miller, representing the real estate interests of Belmar; Paul T. Zizinia, owner of Inlet Terrace; Dr. J. Wyllis Hassler of Belmar and Charles'G. Teunon of Trenton, the owner.

At the meetng ways and means of financing the project were discussed and several plans proposed. No definite action was taken, but a com­mittee was appointed to consider the various proposals and report at a subsequent meeting upon the feasi­bility of the project.

Belmar has suffered much from the lack of a moderen, up-to-date hotel and nothing will conduce more to the up-building of Belmar and conse- quental enhancement in the value of property than Mr. Teunon’s enter­prise if carried to a successful con­clusion.

DEATH OF CHILD.Harriet Smock DuBois, 27-months-

old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank DuBois of Belmar, died Sunday even­ing of kidney trouble with which she had been afflicted since birth, though the little one had been ser­iously ill but a short time.

The funeral, which was private, was from the house Wednesday af­ternoon with burial in Fairview cem­etery, Red Bank. Mr. DuBois is a member of the firm of Honce and DuBois, real estate dealers.

MR. ISHAM IN NEW YORK.

Westinghouse Company Becomes In­terested in the Universal Safety Tie.

H. S. Isham, president of the Uni­versal Safety Tie company of Bel­mar, is to-day at the offices of the Westinghouse Manufacturing com­pany in New York. The officials of that company are very much inter­ested in the safety tie and requested Mr. Isham to call.

This tie which i$ the invention of Mr. Isham is being tested with satis­factory results by several of the prominent railroad companies and seems destined to become universally used. The scarcity of wood for ties has become a problem with the com­panies and through the use of this tie fewer ties to the mile are required and it also offers the advantage of being the cheapest tie on the market. With this tie the track is always on gauge and no special labor is requir­ed to install, and through its use all vibration and noise is avoided.

The Universal tie is endorsed by the United States government.

TESTIMONIAL DINNER TO MAYOR POOLEMany of His Friends Attend Banquet at Naylnr's Restaurant

and Pay Tribute to Him as a Citizen and Official.A feast of good things for the inner

man and a display of wit and oratory by toastmaster and speakers featured the complimentary dinner to Mayor Robt. G. Poole tendered him last Fri­day night at Naylor’s restaurant. Cov­ers were laid for about seventy-five persons and it can truthfully be said that there was not one present who is not a sincere and personal friend to the Mayor and who, while rejoic­ing with him in his promotion to the cashiership of the Merchants Nation­al Bank of Asbury Park, does not re­gret his severing business relations with the Belmar bank of which he has been cashier for the past eight years.

That the Mayor was visibly affect­ed, that his big heart was touched by the complimentary things said of him, was apparent and, to use his own statement, he was “about the happiest at times and about the most miserable at times of any one pres­ent.”

The dinner provided by Mr. Naylor was a fine one, the serving excellent and during the feast victrola music was given. The invocation was of­fered by Rev. W. J. McConnell. The menu was as follows:

Oysters on half shell Chicken soup

Fish with sauce Oyster patties Green peas

Celery and olives Roast turkey with cranberry sauce

Mashed and sweet potatoes Romain salad

Ice cream cake fruitCigars Demi tasse

After the tables had been cleared, Dr. F. V. Thompson, President of Bel­mar Board of Trade, called for order and stated that the dinner was plan­ned in honor of our good friend, Mayor Poole, as an occasion for pub­licly voicing regrets that he was abdut to sever his business relations in Belmar and to wish him success in his new field. He then read sev­eral letters from persons who had been invited to attend the banquet but were unable to do so. Among these were the following:

Dear Doctor:I find it will be impossible for me

to be present to pay tribute to the splendid testimonial to his Honor Mayor Poole. It is indeed a very fit­ting procedure to one who has done so much and given so much valuable time to the institution he represents and to the Borough at large. Wish­ing you every success, I am

Yours, fJ. MAYER.

Elizabeth, N. J., January 18, 1917 Mr. Fred V. Thompson, M. D.My dear Doctor:

Your letter informing me that Bel­mar is going to lose Mr. Poole as a Bank Officer is to my mind a great loss to the Community and to the Bank and let us hope that he will stay with Belmar as the Borough could ill afford to have him go. Please convey to Mr. Poole my re­gret and assure him I will always consider myself satisfied to have him consider me one of his friends. Sorry can not be present.

Respectfully and sincerely,P. EGENOLF.

Jan’y 26th, 1917. Dr. Fred V. Thompson.My dear Doctor:—

As much as I regret it and this is expressing myself mildly, I shall not be able to be present this evening, I have not been well for several days and to-day have coughed almost in­cessantly, you know only too well what it means wrhen I have a cough. While this is a sore disappointment to me, I feel that I must stay in doors to-night.

If you have the opportunity to do so, will you be kind enough to ex­press my regrets to our friend Poole.

I am enclosing you my ticket should you have occasion to use it for any one else.

Again expressing my regrets, I am, Sincerely yours,

NEIL 11. MILLER.

New York, Jan. 2 , 1917. Dr. Fred V. Thompson,Belmar, N. J.

Am unable to be with you this evening. Give my regrets to all pres­ent and I wish Mayor Poolp much success in his new enterprise.

GEORGE N. KANENBLEY.

Dr. Thompson introduced Dr. J. W. Hassler as toastmaster. That gentle­man is a past master at presiding over post prandial exercises and he was at his best Friday night. It was

his evident intention to keep the crowd in a happy frame of mind and in this he succeeded for he was as full of witty stories and remarks as a porcupine is full of quills. In in­troducing . the various speakers his remarks sometimes cut pretty close, but the repartee was just as ready. He first called upon F. H. Shermer, principal of Belmar Public school.

Principal Shermer stated that the occasion was one of both sorrow and pleasure—tinged wijth sorrow be­cause Mayor Poole was about to leave Belmar as a business man and with pleasure because so many persons, irrespective of political affiliation or creed should come together as men to honor a fellow citizen, to express their regret and esteem for his real worth and to speed him on with well wishes to his new position. Mr. Shermer delved somewhat into the business career of Mr. Poole, stating that he began his banking career at Keyport when a very young man, that there was something significant about the name Keyport—it was there he obtained the key to open the door to success which has since opened the door to every enterprise he has attempted to enter. The speaker stated that some of the fac­tors which have made Mr. Poole’s business career so successful are his genial personality, his willingness to help all and an optimism of a high order which are wonderful forces in every undertaking in which a man may engage. Another factor is his knowledge of men which has not only permitted him to touch the keys of the grand organ of success but to touch the hearts of men. He has the qualifications which have aroused confidence in him—people know he stands on the square, uses good judg­ment and therefore they have confi­dence in him.

Mr. Shermer said that Mr. Poole was one of the best, if not the very best, mayor Belmar had ever had. and that he was glad to know he is to continue to be one of our citizens, and hoped the future would add many laurels to the name of our friend and most distinguished citizen.

The next speaker was Mayor John Thomson of Avon. It was evident from the introduction of him by Dr. Hassler that the mayor of our sister borough and the toastmaster have been “out together,” but the mayor had the “last shot” and the descrip­tion he gave of a little escapade of two Belmar citizens may have been considerably ovedrawn but the story was very amusing to some, at least. Mayor Thomson would not have been true to his native land had he not given a quotation from Robert Burns for the memory of Scotland’s beloved “Bobbie” is dear to the heart of ev­ery son of the land of the heather. The quotation led up to the speak­er’s eulogy to Mayor Poole and in the course of his remarks he said that he did not believe any one who did bus­iness with Mr. Poole ever fornd him anywhere but on the level and that people had confidence in him, and if Mr. Lyman, his successor as cashier in the Belmar bank, measured up to the same standard he would enjoy the same confidence. He expressed a wish of success for Mr. Lyman and said that he knew Mr. Poole express­ed the same.

Mayor Macdonald of Bradley Beach said that to serve at the head of one’s town, enjoy the friendship of such a vast number and have the nice things said of him must wrarm Mayor Poole’s heart. He declared that it was un­fortunate that Mr. Poole was to leave

Shocks Awaiting Laggard Lovers

By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

MENTAL HABITS OF DEBT

Do you think because you fail me,And draw back your hand today,

That from out the heart I gave you My strong love can fade away?

What would any man think of a man who came courting his sister,

season in and sea­son out, but never made any preten­tions of being a marrying man.? That’s the situa­tion in many a f a m i ly where young men have been calling for a year or more. The reason for not speaking out is often justifiable. The man may be w a i t in g fo r a raise in his sal­ary, or a score of other good rea­sons, Being sure that the girl he is

calling on regularly is in love with him, he considers it justifiable to wait until he is good and ready to propose. It Is a decided shock to such a lag­gard to see a stranger step in and in no time win the girl from before his very eyes. He has only himself to blame.

There are a few little things about girls that men should remember. One is that their interest is keenest in a you ig man during the stage of their earliest acquaintance. After a girl has summered and wintered a man and he has not proposed, her interest be­gins to dwindle. She looks upon him

Milk As a “Bracer”

By DAVID STONE KELSEY

The Pasteur institute of Paris makes the declaration that one of the most powerful stimulants known is milk. It has been in use for months now as the one stimulant for the French sol­diers in the trenches, and its effect on them has amply justified the state­ment made by the famous institute in regard to it.

Milk has been used liberally to stim­ulate the French soldiers before they go into battle and its effects have been such that the French government has urged the sale of milk in prefer­ence to other soft drinks behind the trenches when the soldiers go off duty for their spells of rest and recreation.

That the qualities of stimulation should be demonstrated on the fight­ing men should commend the beverage to those engaged in the pursuits of peace in those parts of the world where Mars does not now rule. While alcohol may fire the brain and dull the sensibilities and thus impart a false courage, milk, according to the learned scientists of the Pasteur In­stitute, performs the work of keying up the individual without affecting the keenness of his senses or the coolness of his judgment. High courage and a clear perception of what they are doing is necessary for the best work In all the arts and professions, as well as in the handicrafts and in trade.

This fluid hitherto has been consid­ered synonymous with all that is mild and peaceful. Advocates of prepared­ness have referred to “these milk-and- water pacifists.” The “milk of human kindness” has no suggestion of power­ful stimulation.

But science has discovered, among Its many wonders, that the patient cow has put a punch in milk that ne­cessitates the addition of no product of the still to make itself felt on the human system. It has discovered a ttew and a harmless “bracer.”

Ancient Shrine Is Found.

One of the most important archeo­logical discoveries of recent years has Just been made at Gonnoi, near the vale of Tempe in Thessaly. The archeological society has just un­earthed what is plainly a sanctuary to the Goddess Artemis and among the articles found on the spot are some of the most remarkable votive offerings yet discovered.

One hundred and thirty-eight mar­ble shafts bear inscriptions, from which it is plain that the shrine was devoted to Artemis as a goddess of childbirth, “Artemis genitrix.”

as a friend, and begins to cast sheep’s eyes on other men as possible beaux. No man should be too sure of a girl’s love until he has placed a betrothal ring on her finger. Even then, he should see that the marriage is not put off too long.

A pretty girl once had one of these laggard lovers of whom she thought a great deal. But pop the question he would not. Her aunt advised her not to W’aste time with him. At an after­noon affair, to which she had gone .with girl friends, she met a new ad­mirer, who escorted her home. They encountered the old beau. His jeal­ousy was straightway aroused. The sight of her with another showed him how dear she was to him. The ques­tion faced him as to what life would be without her if another won her. He called that evening and lost no time in asking her to be his wife, de­claring that an open confession was good for the soul. He had been too sure of her and because of that came near losing her.

The wise girl does not devote all of her time to one caller. She treats him as she finds him—simply as a friend— until he has given her reason to be as­sured otherwise. There would be no long-drawn-out courtships which end in parting if girls pursued this plan. Men are at fault in calling upon one girl steadily when they have no serious intentions of matrimony. If they call upon many young women, making no secret of the fact, no one maiden is apt to build her hopes upon them, only to be disappointed at last.

| SOME SMILES%In Doubt.

“Do your views on public questions meet with your wife’s favor?”

“I’ve never been able to find out,” answered Mr. Twobble. “Whenever I voice an opinion my wife merely hums a little tune. I don’t know whether she does that to express disapproval, or merely to show that she Isn’t listen­ing and doesn’t intend to.”

Not Worth Mentioning.

“Tommy, you’ve been fighting again.”

“I ’d hardly call it that, ma.”“But I saw you through the win­

dow. You struck that little Glithers boy.”

“An’ knocked ’im out the first lick. It takes two scrappers to make a fight, ma.”

Tough Luck.

"Hiram Shucker says a chap tried to sell him a sky­scraper while he was up to the city last week.”

“Did Hiram fall fur that?”

“Nope. But he fell in a coal hole while he was look­in’ the d u r n e d thing over.''

Always in Same Place.“Conductor,” said the fussy old lady,

“are you sure this train will take me to Bunksville?”

“I ’m reasonably certain that it will, madam. I’ve been traveling this route ;for twenty years, and to the best of my knowledge Bunksville has never eluded us yet.”

A Vicious Jab.“I understand Miss Sereleaf is think­

ing of getting married.”“That has been the understanding

hereabouts for the past fifteen years,” answered the town gossip.

Progress.

Iron Duke’s Doctor Still Living.It is rather bewildering to read in

these days that one of the Iron Duke's medical attendants is still alive. Yet It is a fact. The victor of Assaye and Waterloo died in 1852, and it was in the year before that he was attended by a very young medical man attached to one of the London hospitals. Re­cently the doctor in question, Dr. Hen­ry F. Holland, celebrated his eighty- seventh birthday at Godalming.—Lon­don Globe.

Billions in “Movies."Every time you visit the movies you

help to pay the wages of 205,000 em­ployees who draw 52,300,000 weekly. There are 21,600 moving-picture thea­ters in the United States and about $2,- 000,000,000 invested in the business.

remarked the old man, “the dimple In a girl’s cheek is one of the prettiest things in the world.”

“Yes—when you come right down to It,” admitted the young man.

Summary of the Illusions That Are Often Employed by the Spend­

thrift.

These are mental habits of debt, William H. Hamby says in the Satur­day Evening Post.

1. An overestimate ct income. In mild cases this consists i.a counting the maximum. If a man is working at $3 a day, he multiplies 20 working days in the month by three, without any al­lowance for sickness, accident, bad weather or nonemployment. If he is in business he counts the next month on a par with his best month in the past; if in a profession he figures the largest possible number of clients. In the more exaggerated type of debt mind he expects unexpected good luck to add to his regular income.

2. An underestimate of expenses. A tendency to think of the debts sepa­rately—and to count them as extraor­dinary emergencies that won’t happen next month.

3. Thinking that if you can afford a thing that costs $20 you can afford a better quality that costs only $5 more —the elasticity of optimism.

4. Considering what we want as ab­solute necessities that must be sup­plied at once; but what our creditors want as luxuries to be looked after in 60 or 90 days—or when we get around to it.

5. Thinking more about what we owe our station in life than what we owe our tradesmen. It is easy for the debt- making mind to convince itself that good clothes, a fine variety of good conveniences and a nice home are the wisest sort of investments—even off the other fellow’s money.

6. A feeling—when not pushed by creditors—that debt is rather a trivial matter. “Oh, everybody runs accounts. They know I ’m good for it. Why worry?” An impression that it is much better to be generous and jolly than prompt and just.

7. In thinking that living in the fu­ture means living off the future. There is as much difference between hoping for tomorrow and borrowing from to­morrow as there is between raising a crop and mortgaging the farm.

BEGINNING OF OUR NAVY

Camden .Yar'ds on the Delaware the Original Birthplace of Warthips

and Merchantmen.

DOG FULL OF TRICKS

Sale of the big shipyard at Camden centers all eyes again upon the Dela­ware as the birthpluce of American navies and merchant marine.

It was in this city that Joshua Hum­phreys, born out at Haverford, de­signed and built the original warship for independent America. That work was done in the Continental shipyard, this city, at the very outset of the revolution.

This constructor of our first navy was ordered to build and equip a lleet of war vessels, and they sailed in 1776. Years later, when Washington was president, congress ordered the con­struction of America’s first real navy.

Joshua Humphreys was again com­missioned to design these warships, and it was then that “Old Ironsides” officially the Constitution—the Presi­dent, the United States, the Constitu­tion and the Congress were designed.

When Humphreys was a very old man somebody gave him a can made from wood taken from “Old Ironsides,” and the octogenarian constructor then told how he had designed our first navy “under the administration of the ever- memorable Washington.”

But one dreadnaught such as built in the Camden yard just sold could sink Humphreys’ entire fleet with as much ease and Immunity from injury to itself as a lion could crush a rab­bit—Girard In Philadelphia Ledger.

More Buddha Bones Discovered.The excavations now being carried

on by the archaeological survey in India among the miles of ruins in the Rawalpindi district, famous In the time of Buddha as the principal uni­versity town in India, have resulted in the discovery of a casket containing bones with an inscription indicating that they are those of Gautama him­self, says a bulletin of the Japan so­ciety.

This Is the fourth find of the kind. The first was upon the borders of Ne­pal many years ago, the second near Peshawar in 1909, and the third later. The fact that these relics have Deen found in widely separated localities supports the accepted story that after the cremation of Buddha the bones were distributed among his disciples and carried by them to a number of distant places.

Armor for Soldiers.In many instances the evolution of

modern military uniforms and arms has been marked by a return to types of ancient and medieval days. Per­haps the steel helmet is the most striking example of this tendency. Now a London firm has patented and is manufacturing a steel-lined officer’s jacket which suggests the old coats of mall, though in outward appearance it resembles an ordinary close-fitting coat. It is claimed that the jacket will resist a .45-caliber revolver bullet at 20 yards.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The Anti Scored.En route to Florida one winter, a

young suffragette seated nerself ’ in the observation car between two aged “antis,” saying as she did so:

“A rose between two thorns.”But one of the antis, a crusty old

codger with gray whiskers, retorted: “No, no, young lady—you mean a

tongue sandwich.”

AFFAIR.

Invented by John Hays Hammond andB. F. Meister—Controlled by Light

Rays It Will Do Many Inter­esting Things.

In the Popular Science Monthly ap­pears an interesting article by B. F. Meister, describing the famous electric dog which Was invented by the author in collaboration with John Hays Ham­mond, Jr. In speaking of the tricks of his mechanical pet, the writer says:

“The electrical dog, which John Hays Hammond, Jr., and I designed, has no tail to wag and no voice to bark with, but he can follow a person about in a most surprising way.

“Like the sunflower that follows the sun in its path across the heavens, my first apparatus was capable of turning itself only to face the object that stimulated it. But a great diffi­culty had to be overcome. The stimu­lant was light, and sometimes the dog saw too much light, so that he be­haved occasionally in an astonishingly erratic manner.

“Just how grave a difficulty this dis­obedience really it, was illustrated by an amusing incident during a demon­stration at a Chicago theater.

“The dog was ready to spring into action, but when the stage was lighted, instead of obeying the flashlight held in my hands, the dog insisted on pay­ing attention to a very alluring but not thickly clothed young woman painted on the scenery near by. It seems that the reflected light from the painting wTas sufficiently brilliant to compete with the flashlight and to cause the dog to creep to this fairer at­traction with a directness which was almost uncanny.

“To all practical intents and pur­poses, the electrical dog is a dead dog until excited by an external light ray— usually a pocket flashlight, held in the hand. Fastened to the front of a squat, oblong box on three rollerlike wheels, are two great lenses, the eyes through which the dog receives his intelli­gence. Behind the lenses are two extremely sensitive cells containing the black, waxlike selenium. A peculiarity of selenium is that it is sensitive only to light rays; or, to put the facts a little more technically selenium Is a nonconductor of electric currents un­til it is struck by light, when It be­comes a conductor. Located behind the selenium eyes is an arrangement of relays, batteries, magnets and a motor. When a beam of light strikes one of the selenium cells, It causes a relay to be operated which, in turn, causes current to flow through one of the magnets controlling the steering wheel. The driving motor starts and the dog is under way. Shift the light so it strikes the other selenium eye and the dog moves in the other direction. In other words, In whichever direction the light travels there also will the dog go. By reversing a switch on the outside of the box, the dog can be made to back away from the light. Il­luminating both cells equally causes the dog to move in a straight line.

VAST WEALTH OF ABYSSINIA

Country Has Remarkable AgriculturalResources and Is Developing Rap­

idly Under Native Rulers.

Ouizero Zeodita, daughter of the late Menelik, has been proclaimed empress of Abyssinia, says the Chris­tian Herald. She is forty years old. The empress succeeds Emperor Lidj Jeassu, who has been deposed. Abys­sinia is one of the most interesting nations of the earth. It is the Switz­erland of Africa. It is one-third larger than Great Britain. It occupies the mountainous regions of the valley of the Upper Nile, extending to the lower end of the Red Sea and over the water­shed toward the Indian ocean. The land is fertile, yielding the products of all climes, some of them three crops a year. Bananas, dates, sugar, cotton, grapes, oranges, lemons and coffee all flourish, and on the tablelands hay, oats and barley are cultivated. Abys­sinia is the only independent native state in Africa. It has fine public im­provements and conveniences of civil­ized living, Abyssinia is the Ethiopia of ancient history.

Brown-Tail Moth Gone.Success seems to have attended the

efforts to exterminate the brown-tail moth, which has for years been the ob­ject of a warfare by the United States government as well as the states which have been ravaged by this pest. Light­houses along the 'coast of Connecticut and Long island have been examined, but no migrating moths have been found. Fewer moths have been found on trains coming from infested regions during the season when the moths are flying than in any previous year. Hence this serious pest is believed not to be spreading, if indeed not actually in its decline.

New and Novel Device.A big American steel company has

adopted a novel device for unload­ing pig-iron from the holds of freight vessels. In place of stevedores, the company uses powerful magnets each of which has a lifting power of 4,500 pounds. Three such magnets were re­cently used in unloading a vessel, and made a record of unloading 4,000,000 pounds in ten hours, at a cost of $100. This represents a saving of $500, it is said, over the cost of handling by long­shoremen.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1917. THE COAST ADVERTISER, BELMAR, N. J. PAGE THREE

A WEEK OF BASKETBALL.

Games in Which Belmar Peeple are Interested.

In the fastest basketball game of the season on the Tenth Avenue Theatre court, the Big Five was de­feated by the Red Bank Y. M. G. A. Five last Friday night. The score was 28 to 23.

Both teams displayed fine team work and the passing was superior to that of any other contest. Cape­well of the Red Bank team did some excellent shooting and it was his ability in locating the basket which did much to bring a victory to his team. The first period ended with the Big Five in the lead with one point to the good, but the home boys were outclassed in the second period. Boy Anderson of Asbury Park play ed his first game with the Big Five The line up was as follows:

Big Five—Knox, F; Bernocco, F; Vola, F; Matthews, C; Lyon, G; An­derson, G. Red Bank—Capewell, F; Gordon, F; De Le Reiuseille, C; Chamberlain, G.; Pear, G.

The second game of the series be­tween the Girls’ club and the Camp Fire Girls was played as a prelim­inary to the big game, the former team winning 9 to 7 in an extra per­iod. Both teams played well with the Girls’ club leading until the last five minutes when the Camp Fire Girls tied the score wTith two baskets.

Miss Jeanette Housel scored the winning basket in the extra period. Lineup and score:

THE ROAD FINISHER.

The machine is^so constructed that each sled has a rise and fall of two inches. This perfects an ease of ac­tion and gives the same bearing upon depressions in the road as upon the surface. The scrapers distribute from the higher points in the road all gravel, earth or other material de­posits and disposes of them by fill­ing in all holes and depressions while leveling the same and leaving surface absolutely smooth.

This method of hard packing the road and removing all loose gravel and other dust creating substances is in itself a surety against pools of water on the surface of the road­ways after a rain or where sprink­ling is necessary in dry weather.

The road finisher pulled by an auto truck has a weighing control giving as much w’eight as a truck can pull. This weight regulation and the ca­pacity of the machine’s motion when operating, gives it an unusual eco­nomic valuation. For main roads or busy thoroughfares where oil or liquid asphalt are desirable to pre­vent dust, the invention has a splen­did equipment called a spreader or smoother. The surface of a road treated by either material with this device has a perfectly compact hard bed road of great endurance.

The spreader when oil is used has a packing process which does away with the pool of loose oil which is the disturbing feature of all roads so treated, as it must be picked up by vehicular traffic.

Roads treated by this machine are not only rid of loose oil pools on the surface, but have overcome the soft top surface as well.

The auto truck to which this ma­chine is attached will be equipped with a water tank and a sprinkler which will sprinkle the road direct­ly in front of the machine at all times in dry wreather. This will prevent any dust creating substance being left on the surface of the r6ad.

Therefore, one machine will have the double capacity of keeping the streets of any town or borough in perfect condition and at the same time, do the sprinkling. This per­mits a great saving of money as one machine can keep forty miles of road or streets in perfect condition at a cost not exceeding forty dollars per

mile for one year.This machine was tested out on the

streets of Spring Lake Beach Tues­day and it demonstrated its value as a road finisher. So far there has been no machine introduced that is its superior.

USE OF THE PILLORY

CONTINUED AS A PUNISHMENT

IN THIS COUNTRY UNTIL 1837.

HIS CHEERFUL RECEPTION.

Machine Patented By Spring Lake

Man W ill Insure Good Roads the

Year Round.

The Compliment Came After" He Made His Little Talk.

A Washington newspaper man was once a member of congress from an Ohio district. lie is not an orator and rarely makes a speech. When he was running for congress he got word that he must come to a small town on the edge of his district to attend a meeting. A famous “spellbinder’ had been se­cured, and the candidate was expected to be there, to shake hands and show himself.

When he arrived at the village he was horror stricken to find that the speaker of the occasion had missed his train and would not be there.

“Come right up to the hall,” said the chairman of the delegation that met him. “There’s a big crowd there, and they are anxious to hear some talking.”

The candidate went in fear and trem­bling. He was introduced and talked for fifteen minutes. He started to sit down, but the chairman motioned him to continue. He went on for another quarter of an hour and by that time had told all he knew or ever expected to know that was of interest to his au-

! dience.Then he dropped into his chair. The

man who was presiding came cheerful- i ly forward and said: “We have heard our candidate. Now, if there is any

| one present who can make a speech we shall be glad to hear him.”—Youth’s

I Companion.

A machine recently patented by the inventor, Ellwood II. Newman of Spring Lake Beach, presents a most carefully perfected device for road finishing and road preservation that will meet the requirements of all traffic demands for good roads the year round.

It is the only machine in opera­tion to-day that can perform the threefold work of scraper, leveler and finisher simultaneously, and that will keep the gravel roads, or roads built of other natural materials in perfect condition from early spring until the roads have become frozen.

During the winter season the ma­chine will be operated after a thaw or rain when the roads are cut up in ruts.

By leveling the surface at this time the roads will be kept free from froz­en ruts, rough bumps and sharp points which are so racking to auto­mobiles and destructive to tires.

This device is composed of eight ipdependent compartments or sleds, with scraper set diagonally on each which forces all scrapings toward the center of the road thereby pre­venting the accumulation of loose substances in the gutters to obstruct the free running of water.

TEETH MENDING IN CHILE.

Not an Easy Matter For Foreign Den­tists to Practice There.

Not every foreigner who comes along with the claim of being a dentist can practice that profession in Chile. The government sees to it that any one who is to look after the health and preservation of the teeth of its pe'ople must first demonstrate his qualifica­tions.

The law provides that before a li­cense may be granted a foreigner to practice dentistry in the country the applicant must secure permission from the rector of the University of Chile to take the examination. His foreign di­ploma, duly certified and authenticat­ed, must be attached to the permit, and a fee of 500 pesos (about $75 in United States money) must be deposited for the license in the office of the secre­tary of the university. If the applicant passes the examination successfully the license is issued, and he is authorized to open his office for business.

Any applicant who holds a dental diploma from a school not known or recognized by the Chilean authorities is required to complete the third year’s work of the dental department of the University of Chile and must also pass a satisfactory examination before he can obtain a license to practice.—Pan- American Bulletin.

Delaware Was the Last State to Abol­ish It—Barbarous Devices Used

Generally for Cheats, Forgers and Perjurers.

It was only 115 years ago that the pillory was used in Boston. The last American victim of this medieval mode of punishment did not suffer in vain, for by his martyrdom he aroused so strong a sentiment against the pillory In Boston that It was abolished. This barbarous device, which had been com­mon in Europe and America for a long period, was not finally abolished in the United States until 1839, and even after that Delaware continued to give legal sanction to its use. The pillory was abolished in 1837.

An instrument similar to the pillory was in use in England in the earliest times, and in numerous instances the victims were killed by being struck with stones.

In England and also in colonial New England the punishment of the pillory was most often inflicted on cheats, forgers and perjurers. It is recorded that the mayor of London, in 1“S7, “did sharpe correction upon bakers for making bread of light weight; he caused divers of them to be put in the pillory, as also one Agnes Daintie, for selling mingled butter.” Quacks and mountebanks, fraudulent coal, corn and cattle dealers, sellers of sham gold rings, users of false measures, sooth­sayers and fortune tellers, and beggars who made false pretenses were also frequently subjected to punishment by the pillory. At a later period the pil­lory was used for the punishment of heretics and advanced thinkers, and many men and women of noble lives and high aspirations were subjected to this ignominy.

,“DON’T SHOOT PHONE GIRL” I

NEW IDEAS FOUND IN INDIA

Marriage and Family Customs of Ages Are Now Changing Rapidly Be­

cause of Education.

I realized that there was a new ideal of wifehood and motherhood in India, when I visited Miss Robinson, princi­pal of the Isabella Thoburn college, and she showed me a big packet of let­ters, says a writer in the World Out­look.

“There is a new world in India,”she said. “Eight thousand young men are graduating from college every year. These men don’t want a mere child, a toy, for a wife; they wish com­panionship. All these, holding out the package, “are letters of inquiry of a matrimonial nature. We could ar­range for more marriages than we have graduates, and those marriages Into the most desirable families. Sometimes it seems as if I were con­ducting a matrimonial bureau to sup­ply wives for future college professors, judges, deputy collectors and all sorts of influential men.”

That is i t ! There is a new man as well as a new woman in the Orient, and this man has a new ideal of wom­anhood and family life. In Bombay I was shown, slightly out from the city, new, separate houses building for In­dian young married people who desired to break away from the patriarchal or group family, where the young wife is under the absolute sway of the mother- in-law.

In some cases families not Chris­tian are setting up that characteristic Christian institution, the family meal. This alone means a revolution in the position of woman; for by Indian cus­tom the wife, whether of high or low degree, has waited upon her husband, standing while he ate, and later has partaken alone, or with the children, of the portion of food he set aside for her.

; Bullying the Operator Is Nothing Less ! Than Cowardice—She Is Doing

Her Best.I ____

To speak to a telephone operator Is like speaking in the dark to a stranger. In such a situation courtesy would seem to be the first rule of the road. Unfortunately, courtesy is not invari­ably the tone which people employ iWith telephone operators.

During one of the national conven­tions, something went wrong with the wires; messages were delayed and mixed; offices and correspondents were losing their tempers. In the midst of it, James Morgan, with that impertur- able good humor of his, sent back to the Boston Globe a telegram bearing merely the words that were born in the dance hall of a western .mining town:

“Don’t shoot the pianist. He is do­ing the best he can.”

Don’t bully the telephone operator. She is doing the best she can. If she were not she would not be where she is. Being a telephone operator in these busy days is no sinecure.

The silliest place to lose one’s tem­per is into a transmitter. It is the most cowardly place, also. To abuse a telephone operator (who is a long way off, a woman and an employee) is about as heroic sport as shooting robins. The operator cannot get her tormentor discharged. She cannot even answer back. Discipline forbids. —Boston Globe.

TRACTOR FARMING IN FRANCE

Number of Machines in Use Will Be Increased Enormously After

the War.

The French government has estab­lished a commission to promote what we may call mechanical farming after the war. This commission find,6! that a considerable number of tractors are al­ready in use in French agriculture, and that their number can be increased enormously as soon as the war ends. It is looking out now for the plows, harrows, drills, etc., to be hauled by these tractors, and seeking mechanical training for the young men and wom­en who must operate them.

The possibilities in this line are very great. French farms are small, to be sure, much smaller than the unit area which has been found most profit­able for tractor operation. But there are no fences between the fields, one or two good tractors could do the plow­ing and harvesting for a whole hamlet,

I and while the French never talk much about co-operation and have little for-

; mal organization for it, they are among I the most expert co-operators in the | world.

No mechanical equipment can make ! up entirely for the losses of man-pow- j er due to the war, but the machines j will help, and it is clear that their aid j will be claimed to the fullest possi- 1 ble extent.

French Artists Suffer.It is said that art and artists have

been nearly extinguished in F:-ar ce by the war. Without work, without any demand for their paintings, without resources, many artists, it is said, are really suffering extreme indigence. Le Cri de Paris says that the committee of the Brotherhood of Artists is now distributing 1,800 francs a day in bread to needy artists. The president of the society is M. Bonnat, eighty-two years old, who organized and superintends everything. As the receipts of the com­mittee are insufficient for the demands that are made, M. Bonnat, who sold a portrait some time ago for 10,000 francs, turned the entire amount into the fund and this he declared was tlie first money he had touched since the declaration of war. William A. Coffin, president of the American artists com­mittee of 100, New York city, has made a pressing appeal to artists in America for money to relieve the families of French artists, many of whom are fighting at the front.

We are stronger and are better Under manhood’s sterner reign,

Still we feel that something sweet Followed youth with flying feet

And will never come again.

Something beautiful has vanished, And we sigh for it in vain.

We behold it everywhere,On the earth and in the air,

But it never comes again.—Richard Henry Stoddard.

CANDLEMAS DAY.

To-day is Candlemas day, known more popularly as “Ground Hog Day,” and according to an old Scot­tish couplet:

“If Candlemas day is bright and clear,

There’ll be two winters in the year.”

Perhaps it was in Scotland, we don’t know, that the story of the ground hog or woodchuck seeing his shadow on this day was first told. We only know that the story has been handed down from generation to generation and is still told to the children in country homes before the glow of the great hearth fire. As we recall the story it is that on noon of this date thousands of years ago, when the earth was young, one of the first members of the ground hog family, probably an ancestor of the present race of Arctomys monax, af­ter sleeping away the long days and nights of winter in his burrow, awakened on February 2 and crept quietly from his hole to take an ob­servation of the weather. He found the sun shining brightly and seeing his shadow cast upon the ground af ter having been asleep so long, he be came greatly frightened, thinking it was a beast of prey, and rushed back into his den.

The god of the clouds and storms, so the legend goes, observed the ac­tion of the ground hog, and decreed that thereafter on February 2, the animal should first emerge from his den, and should the day be sunny so that he sees his shadow, there will be six weeks more of icy, stormy weather to follow.

On the contrary, should the day be cloudy, gloomy or stormy, so the lit­tle animal cannot see his shadow, the winter will be practically over and there will be an early spring.

If the weather was a little less changeable in this section we might venture a guess and say that his lordship saw his shadow and that we are in for a long spell of winter weather, but it is too uncertain for us and we may as well admit that this section of The Advertiser is printed Thursday afternoon, but be­fore the paper reaches most of our

There seems to be no peace is sight for Europe. The Allies are bound to fight it out and the Central powers accept the challenge and with pro­bable carnage greater than before the warring nations go on to exter­mination.

Any movement on the part of the neutrals to bring about peace is com­mendable but all efforts seem in vain. President Wilson tried as no other diplomat ever tried before to induce a calm in battle front.. The Allies would not agree to Ger­many’s proposal, nor will the Cen­tral powers agree to the proposals that the Allies may make, but if the awful carnage could have stopped if but briefly and the great men of the nations could have met in conference modifications and concessions wrould naturally have followed and peace been much nearer at hand than it would seem to be at the present time.

The leaders in the w'arring nations are mad, selfish and foolish. There are few crowned heads in Europe to-day who are men of strong intel­lectuality. In fact, a number of them are weaklings of a pampered blue- blooded ancestry who rule wdthout knowledge or ability and the only real good that can come out of this carnage is that when the common people have an awrakening there will be changes in form of government and these rulers will go.

It is a terrible thing that millions of the world’s best men should be slain at the dictates of these kingly! hyenas and if there could be some way to reach the men in the trenches and the women in their barren homes there might be an end to the con­flict in sight. It is not only the duty of America but the duty of every oth­er neutral nation to aid in a move­ment toward peace. It might be an unprecedented step for all the neu­tral nations to join in a conference and prepare terms of peace but no condition like the present one ever occurred before. It would surely have its effect and at least the neu­trals would then have done their duty

to humanity.It has been stated that such a con­

ference would mean a third com­bination of the world’s nations, the Allies, the Central powers and the Neutrals but the Neutrals would hold such balance of power as to force ac­tion.

The awful conflict has gone far beyond the expectation of any en­gaged in it or the neutral nations and has ceased to be a readjustment of territorial and diplomatic and gov­ernmental conditions, the result of which might have been some good. It is now only carnage and loss to all the world and it is time that some movement on the part of the neutral nations be made in the hope that justice may be done and the world

be at peace.

’Tis the last rose of summer,Left blooming alone.

All her lovely companion:?Are faded and gone;

No flower of her kindred,No rosebud is nigh

To reflect back her bfushes,Or give sigh for sigh.

I ’ll not leave thee thou lone one,To pine on the stem,

Since the lovely are sleeping.Go sleep thou with them;

Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves o’er the bed,

Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead.

So soon may I follow,When friendships decay,

And from love’s shining circle The gems drop away;

When true hearts lie withered,And fond ones are flown,

Oh, who would inhabit This bleak world alone?

Among the old songs that are ever new is “The Last Rose of Summer. It was one »f the favorite songs of Adelina Patti, who ft may be interesting to note is now seventy-four years of age. Her castle at Craig-y-Nos, Wales, has been opened through her hospitality, to accommodate many wounded soldiers. The song was one of the most popular written by Thomas Moore for his collection of “Irish Melodies.” The air, which is a very old one, formerly known as “The Groves of Blarney,” is found in collections of the

music of Ireland over two centuries old.

BOROUGH

Matters- of Interest to Those Who

are Acquainted With Avon Peo­

ple.

COUNCIL MEETING

Council met in regular session and it was decided that plans drawn for bulkheading the river along lines of old riparian grant were not such as the council wished. John V. Con­over of Asbury Park had signed the contract and was not willing to do the work along the new line which is further out and in deeper water. New bids will likely be called for. In the meantime it is planned to ex­tend the bulkheading to Fourth ave­nue. The council accepted the offer Monday night, of Mr. Appleby and Mrs. Kohlepp to give the riparion rights along their property, which they recently acquired for $300, pro­vided the borough will not erect buildings in front of their properties and the bulkheading and Riverside drive be extended to Fourth avenue. The mayor urged the acceptance of this, saying it would save $300 and also eliminate a temporary bulkhead of 128 feet. Of course a bulkhead running in from riparian line to lot line at Fourth avenue will be neces­sary, but that is only 50 feet.

Salary of Superintendent Mullen was fixed at $100 a month for seven months—April to October—and $3.75 a day for each day he was employed by the borough during the other five months. The salary of the borough clerk which was increased $50 last week was reduced to $200 again, an error being made that there was no intention of enlarging his salary.

Counselor Taylor announced that the suit of Stogden Klink of of Brad­ley Beach against the borough will come up in the district court Friday. Klink is suing for $25 above contract, to which he says he is entitled be­cause he was unable to get red paint as called for in contract for painting

of Beach Casino last summer. He had to use green paint which was more costly.

A note of $1000 was ordered re­newed.

MID-WINTER RECITAL.

A very charming mid-winter recit­al by the Avon pupils of Miss Jos­ephine Kingsley was given Saturday afternoon at the home of Leonard Smith, Garfield avenue. The com­poser Beethoven was the master hon­ored.

A short sketch of the composer’s life was first read by Miss Ruth Dorn, followed by several difficult composi­tions of the famous musician, which were rendered mostly expressively by the pupils. Miss Cathereine Al­bright of Ocean Grove also pleased with several vocal selections.

Early spring (lowers gave a dainty tone to the hostess’ home and re­freshments were served by Mrs. Smith.

Those who took part were: Cath­

erine Albright, Gladys Kling, Ruth Dorn, Esther Elridge, Nola Cham- j bers, Lucy Browne, Mabel Hender- i son, Laura Gouldy, Mervin Smith, | Stanley Dolan, Vernon Henderson.

The guests were: Virginia Hall, Marguerite Browne, Jean Woodward, Fanny Smock, Marian Spayd, Mar­jory Clayton, Lillian Clayton, Vernon Brower, Esther Kittell, Oscar You- mans, Henry Brower, Reymond Pit­man, Harold Reimuller, Allen Smith and Horace Kittell.

Mgr., Scorer Lyceum Bureau.

Mr. Allen telegraphed the commit­tee’s acceptance. This is, indeed, a creditable move on the part of the bureau and shows that its manager wishes to be fair and just. The bu­reau paid the Bland company for giving the entertainment and also the expenses in getting the musi­cians to Belmar and will send The Venetians here absolutely without expense to the committee.

People who have given the course financial support through the pur­chase of course tickets will enjoy the privilege of attending this entertain­ment without extra expense.. Single admission will be the same as for the other entertainments, thirty cents, and those who pay can rest assured that they will get more than their money’s worth. The Venetians have pleased wherever they have appeared and the committee when selecting the course wished to include this company but there was no open date upon which the company could have appeared that would have been avail­able. All honor to the Scorer Ly­ceum bureau for doing the square thing!

Splashless Flop a Bunk.“Where can a fellow get a flop with

a (spla^h for about a man and a half?”The speaker told Sam McGuire, a 1

theatrical man he accosted at Forty- second street and Broadway, New York, that he was a circus man just in from the road. McGuire finally learned that he desired a room with a bath for $1.50.

McGuire feet the man again.“The hut was a bunk,” he said. ,

“They slipped me a drop instead of a splash,” which McGuire later learned meant that he had received a shower bath instead of a regular tub.—In­dianapolis News.

Ten Million Dollars for Irrigation.The greatest storage dam in the

world was formally dedicated at the conclusion of the sessions of the Na­tional Irrigation Congress which met at El Paso, Tex., in October. It blocks a canyon of the Rio Grande 120 miles north of El Paso, stores all the flood and normal flow of a rive] which drains 30,000 square miles forms a lake 45 miles long with an average depth of 65 feet and a shore line of 200 miles, and submerges more than 42,000 acres.

It cost $10,000,000. And the water stored will irrigate 185,000 acres and develop 35,000 horsepower.

Cause and Effect.“Women evidently have no sense of

humor,” remarked the scanty-haired philosopher.

“Why do you think thusly?” queried the youth with the ingrowing mus­tache.

Experts Consider Motion an Import­ant Point in Locating Seat of

Trouble—How to Tell Dis­ease of the Spine.

When a patient is asked to locate his pain, he does so by a movement of one or both his hands. The gesture, however, not only indicates its seat, but describes its character and dis­tribution. Physicians sny that this is an important point. If the pain is widely distributed over the whole chest the patient locates It with a cir­cular rubbing motion of the palm of the hand, indicating the diffused sore­ness. The pain of a serious inflam­mation, on the other hand, is de­scribed by first drawing the hand away from the body and then, with the fingers close together, or with the index finger extended and the others flexed, cautiously approaching the seat of the inflammation.

In appendicitis the patient does not touch the skin at all when asked to locate the pain. He simply holds the palm of his hand over the diseased area. With very violent abdominal tv>i n s , which are not inflammatory, the patient slaps himself vigorously across the abdomen on being asked to indicate the location of his trouble. If a child complains of persistent pain in the stomach, and there is no ten­derness on pressure, disease of the spine Is indicated.

In hip Joint disease, the pain will be referred to a point inside the knee. With terrific diffused pain in the leg, not due to an inflammation, the pa­tient grasps the ’eg firmly. If it is a darting or lanctnating pain, he will indicate it with one finger. In the pain caused by the descent of renal calculi and gallstones, he follows their course with the top of the thumb or index finger.

The pain of hepatic neuralgia or “shingles” is indicated with the thumb or fl'ger. In joint pains the patient approaches the seat of trouble very cautiously with the hand spread flat, w’hile degenerative pain of loco­motor ataxia is described by grasping the affected area firmly, indicating a band-like pain. Or, if the pain is sharp and lightning-like in the leg, the pain gesture is perfectly descriptive, an energetic downward motion, at the same time twisting the hand as though manipulating a corkscrew.

A patient had complained of a se­vere headache. “In what part of the head is it?” he was asked. And, in­dicating the spot, he placed his finger (On the parietal eminence. This he did three times in succession, though claiming to feel the pain exactly on top. Upon examining the moutli a defective tooth was found. As soon as it was removed the pain disap­peared.

Spent Honeymoon in Jungles.Mrs. George Sewall, wife of an Afri­

can big game hunter and herself a Diana of no mean ability, arrived at New York on the Adriatic after an ab­sence of seven years. Before her mar­riage Mrs. Sewall was Miss Angela d’Acosta o'! Boston.

For six years Mrs. Sewall has accom­panied her husband on all his big game expeditions in the heart of the dark .continent. Shortly after their marriage they went to Mr. Sewall’s hunting lodge at Nairobi, in British East Af­rica. After two years there they joined an expedition into the interior of Af­rica, where Mrs. Sewall brought down a lion, six elephants, four giraffes, two hippopotami and twenty water buffalo.

The couple returned to Nairobi just as the European war broke out, and Mr. Sewall, in reciprocation of the British government’s courtesy in ex­tending the use of the crown’s royal game preserve, offered his services to the Royal Mounted corps in an expedi­tion against the German colonies.

Senator Took Oath on Koran.1 A recent incident in the new Philip­pine legislature recalls that when the United States acquired the islands we took into our family brothers-in-law whose religious beliefs always have clashed with Christianity. Senator Hadji Butu, who represents Mindanao and Sulu, took his oath of office on the Koran instead of the Bible.

All the other senators took their oaths collectively by raising their right hands. Then Senator Butu stepped in front of the president of the senate iand, placing his right hand over the Koran, read his official oath in the Sulu dialect, the president repeating it in Spanish. When the ceremony was over the president shook hands with the senator, while the other senators and a large crowd in the galleries ap­plauded.

War Hits English Dogs.A movement has been started in Eng­

land to rduce the canine population of the Island. It is declared by economists that there is a large surplus of dogs and that keeping them is a luxury which the country should dispense with n a period of war time sacrifices.It is pointed out by the foes of Tige

and Sport that England has more dogs per capita than any other country in Europe, with less need of them than any other.

FIND OZONE BESTBURGEONS IN WAR HOSPITALS

USE IT PROFUSELY.

Other Oxidizing Agents Have BeenProved Open to Some Form of Ob­

jection, but This Has Been Proved Satisfactory.

Among the branches of surgery to ,-which the exigencies of the European ;war have acted as a sharp stimulus may be mentioned the treatment of in­jected wounds. The proportion of pa­tients who reach the military hospitals, -with their injuries thus aggravated is; said to be so large as to have given. great importance to the subject of, antiseptics, since obviously the perfect! iaseptic treatment which most cases lean enjoy in ordinary hospitals in time of peace is out of the question for the majority of battle wounds.

Many antiseptics, unfortunately, though excellent germicides, are so toxic that there is danger of their harming the vitality of the tissues sur­rounding the wound. For this reason hydrogen peroxide is said to be admir­able, since it is germicidal without be- ling in any way injurious to healthy cells. However, it is not adequate in those cases, so common in warfare, where there is a serious amount of sup­puration. It is almost instantly decom­posed, not only by pus, but by blood and most of the other liquids of the body tissues, so that the amount of nascent oxygen released is insufficient (for the requirements of a serious [wound.! The search for an oxidizing agent jnot open to this objection, according ito a writer in the Scientific American, led to the trial of ozone, either dis­solved in water and used in copious ir­rigations, or in a gaseous state, mixed jwith ordinary diatomic oxygen. The ‘latter style of treatment is especially advantageous in the case of wounds which are slow in forming a scab, since the most spacious bandages often have a tendency to rub off the fresh scar tissue.

This difficulty is avoided in the process in question by surrounding the .wound with a hermetically sealed shell, into which can be passed the ;gaseous current. This method pos­sesses the extraordinary advantage of leaving the wound open to the bene­ficial action of the solar radiations as (well. Then, too, the total exclusion of the ordinary air from the tissue un- ider treatment makes impossible the formation of nitrogen compounds, which might prove decidedly irritant.

The other mode of application, through the use of ozonized water, has been found particularly satisfactory for large shattered wounds, where the [tissues have been directly idvaded by septic substances.

MONMOUTH HOSPITAL.

Chocolate in the Trenches.This afternoon, everything being

quiet, I invited the neighboring sec- Ition commander to come and spend a jlittle time with me. In the trenches jwe rarely have anything to drink but |wine and coffee, and, by the way of ispecial feast, I decided to make some chocolate. So I sent for a canteen of jwater and poured some of the pre­cious fluid into my pan and devoutly emptied in the chocolate and sugar, rlt was simmering gently on my braz- |Ier, and I was just on the point of iadding condensed milk, when someone called me from the outside. It was my orderly coming to see if I needed (anything. I invited him to join us, i but at the precise moment the stupid battery of a 77 began to spit its six sheils at us. Two burst so near that ;my faithful ‘tampon’ stumbled in fright and fell headlong, taking with him brazier, saucepan and chocolate— our chocolate so nearly ready, which jour eyes were drinking so hungrily. |The poor chap was most unhappy, so il laughed; but I must confess my [laugh was a bit sickly. At that mo- ment I detested the Germans worse than ever.—From a French Lieuten­ant’s Diary in the Atlantic.

Finely Milled Bread Seems Best.Commenting on the recent order of

the British board of trade that in milling wheat 80 per cent of its 'weight must be recovered in flour, in­stead of 70 per cent as formerly. Nature remarks that bread made from 80 per cent flour is not so nutritious as that made from 70 per cent flour. ‘And It adds:

“Although 80 per cent bread Con- 'talns on the average rather more pro­tein than 70 per cent bread, the di­gestibility of the protein in the for- imer is rather lower, so that the actual iwelght of protein digested by the av­erage individual from one pound of 80 per cent bread Is rather less than .the amount digested from one pound of 70 per cent bread. Again, the en­ergy value of 80 per cent bread is jrather lower than that of 70 per cent j bread.”

An Apple a Day.i “An *pple a day keeps the doctor I away,” Is the old saying so often | proved true. Now, the best way to Iprovide these apples is to place them ■in a brown wooden bowl or basket, where each member of the family can help himself or herself. One of the new mahogany fruit bowls piled high with red-cheeked apples is an orna­ment to any living room table or buf­fet. To go with the apples there Is now to be had a silver corer and paret with a wooden handle. This, though sterling, is as sharp as any ap­ple corer in the kitchen, and much more sightly.

January, 1917, will go down on rec­ord as the busiest winter month in the history of the Monmouth Memori­al Hospital. The old year closed with only 58 patients. In less than ten days midsummer record was reached, a time when the hospital gets the influx of cities. The in­crease, however, for January came entirely from Monmouth county, and was a surprise to the hospital heads, who were kept at wit’s end trying to figure how all the patients could be treated with the regular staff of nurses.

High water mark was touched at 95 one day last week, and later, with the dismissal of many patients, it was cut to 85. The average number of

i patients treated daily during January is above .the 85-mark.

Besides caring for patients, nurses —those who are aiming for a “M. M. Hospital certificate”—must report for study periods both morning and af­ternoon, and with the sudden mid­winter increase it’s no wonder that Miss Herries, the matron, was kept a-guessing.

A daily average of eighty patients means a “busy hospital,” but when the 95 mark is touched the word “busier” hardly fills the bill.

With a full force of nurses, there are always some vacancies, either by sickness, vacations or called on spe­cial cases, as Monmouth Memorial Hospital nurses are in demand not only in all parts of the county for private nursing but in different parts of the state and New York as well.

The new hospital labaratory will be opened shortly. The resignation of Dr. Hammond, on account of sick­ness, has left a vacancy that has not been filled. It is expected, however, that Dr. Hammond’s successor will be named very shortly.

Only three of the children infan­tile paralysis patients are still under treatment. The other four have so far recovered that they have been re­turned to their homes.

The little ones, in many instances, had regained the use of their limbs through constant care and treatment. The improvement, in some cases, even surprised the physicians.

The Monmouth Nursing League held its second meeting last week at the Nurses Home. Discussions as to the best means to raise the standard of nursing took place. All registered nurses are eligible to membership. The league now' has nearly forty members and it is expetced that the50 mark wll soon be reached.

The annual report is now being compiled for the printer. It’s no small job, either, for the work of the hospital in 1916 is told in detail. Miss Minnie Ireland is in charge of the tabulation.

The new hospital staff reported for duty yesterday. Dr. Harry E. Shaw, of Long Branch, is the surgeon, and Dr. P. P. Rafferty, of Red Bank, the physician. They succeed Drs. Har­ry B. Slocum and J. T. Welch, of Long Branch.

Dr. Rafferty, who is captain of the Ambulance Company at Red Bank, returned a couple of months ago from Douglass, Arizona, where he was invaluable as a physician. His many friends will be glad to welcome him back on the active hospital staff.

Testimonial Dinner To Mayor Poole

(Continued from page 1 )

the local bank and that he could not understand why people permitted it. Like previous speakers he dwelt somewhat on our friend’s genial na­ture and said that he always found him to be a booster for his home town. He ended his talk by quoting these verses:

“Boost and the world boosts with you,

Knock and you’re on the shelf,For the booster gets sick of the man

who will kickAnd wishes he’d kick himself.

“Boost wheu the sun is shining,Boost when it starts to rain.

If you happen to fall, don’t lie there and brawl.

But get up and boost again.

“Boost for your town’s advancement,Boost for all things sublime,

For the chap that is found on the topmost round

Is the booster every time.”

Senator O. H. Brown of Spring Lake was the next to pay his compli­ments and he said he had yet to find a man connected with any bank who had a word of criticism for Mr. Poole. He attributed his success to his integrity and honor.

In introducing Mr. Brown, Dr. Ilassler had referred to the Senator’s interest in the re-modeled Hotel Co­lumbia and the endeavor to have it taken over by a corporation which led the speaker to make some brief statements in which he heartily en­dorsed the project and advised the people of Belmar to boost the enter­prise. He said that it would place the hotel in such a position that it would help to bring good people to Belmar, aid property owners in rent­ing their houses and do more for the town than any other one thing. He said that if people are not loyal to their town and do not have civic pride they cannot expect people out­side to have.

Postmaster C. B. Honce was the next to respond and he voiced the sentiment of the community when he said he hoped Mayor Poole would continue to be one of our citizens and our mayor. He expressed hearty wishes for him in his new position and the same wishes for his success­or.

Bev. William J. McConnell, pastor of St. Rose’s church, expressed pleas­ure in being enabled to be present at such a happy occasion. He ex­pressed the hope that Mr. Poole would aid in the uplift and better­ment of Asbury Park, and spoke some good words for Belmar. He said it was a grand town, offered advan-. tages without end, and it was pleas­ing that people from outside towns should express their appreciation of our town and offer suggestions for its improvement. He complimented Mr. Poole upon his success, expressed a wish that he might attain even greater success and then voiced the highest ideas of good citizenship and loyalty in the statement that should the time come when Mr. Poole need­ed befriending he hoped he would find us whom he had befriended will- j ing to try and befriend him.

Rev. W. E. Ledden came to the banquet rather late, having had a

i meeting to attend previously, but it ! is said a Methodist minister never gets left on a chicken dinner, and as Mr. Ledden is even stronger on a turkey dinner he did full justice to the liberal supply placed before him. A full stomach, however, did not keep him from speaking in his usual happy mood. He expressed the same hearty appreciation of Mr. Poole that the previous speakers had and stated that he goes to a larger field because he has been faithful and successful in the positions he has filled.

When Mayor Poole wyas called upon that loyalty to his friends which characterizes his life was ap­parent in almost every utterance. He attributed whatever success he has attained toiiis friends, saying that he could not have succeeded without tlieir friendship and help and voiced his appreciation of the manner in which they had stood by him on ev­ery occasion when their help has been needed. True to his unselfish nature he urged the same loyalty for his successor and said that he and Mr. Lyman had known each other since boyhood. He referred to a lit­tle incident of their boyhood days of wrhich Mr. Lyman had recently re­minded him. He (Poole) was driv­ing to the station at Keyport with a load of potatoes when he encountered young Lyman who began to throw stones at him. He at once accepted the challenge and climbing back on his load began a bombardment witli the tubers. The Mayor did not say which won the battle, but it is very evident that both these men have ever since displayed the fighting spirit in the battle of life and both have won success.

Toastmaster Hassler closed the ! banquet with this quotation: “The

space between a man’s ideal and the man himself is his opportunity.”

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the di­sease. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internal­ly and acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. Hall’s Catarrh Cure was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. It is composed of some of the best tonics known, combined with some of the best blood puri­fiers. The perfect combination of the ingredients in Hall’s Catarrh Cure is what produces such wonder­ful results in catarrhal conditions. Send for testimonials, free.F. J.

OLD COAST BUILDING.

One of the oldest buildings along the coast is at Barnegat where the Friends’ Meeting House, built in 1770, is standing to-day in a good state of preservation. The land on which it stands was deeded from Timothy Bidgway to Levi Cranmer, of Staf­ford township, Monmouth county, to Stephen Birdsall and Joe Ridgway, of the same place, and Daniel Shrouds and Joseph Gaunt, of Little Egg Har­bor, Burlington county, for 20 shil­lings; amount of land IVj acres.

The last regular preacher in this church was Robert Stokes, who died in April, 1892, since which time meet­ings have been held there when preachers from out of town came. Alfred Collins, who died recently, was the last of the little band of Friends who went there regularly on Sundays year after year and wor­shipped in their quiet way.

Interesting Theory Formulated byAmerican Expert on Conditions in

the Tropical Regions.

Lieut. Col. Charles E. Woodruff, whose long experience as chief medi­cal officer of the American army in the Philippines makes him an expert on tropical conditions, has written a book called “Medical Ethnology,” in which he advances some interesting theories on dark-skinned and white-skinned races. The Lancet, in reviewing the book, says:

“The author holds that the first hu­man beings were black-haired animals but not black skinned, as their seat of development must have been in a cold country where conditions of life were hard, necessitating a great develop­ment of brain, since only the most in­telligent could survive. They were originally cave-dwellers. After a time, when the earth was largely peopled with this race, there arose a large blond type in northern Europe—Nietz­sche’s “blond beast,” the Teutonic su­perman—who established himself in a dominating position in many countries by right of conquest.

“To this race belonged the ancient Greeks, the original Romans, the rul­ing race in Egypt, and so forth. Un­fortunately this type tends to die out when it migrates from its native cli­mate, and so in time the Romans died out and their empire fell to pieces and the glorious period of the Greek intel­lect was short-lived. In the same way white races fail at the present day to establish themselves permanently in tropical climates.”

The Lancet quotes also some of Colonel Woodruff’s opinions on the ef­fect of light, which he considers al­most wholly harmful to white men.

“The dark skin of tropical races serves as a protection by cutting off the rays of light; it also assists the body in radiating heat, but at the same time favors absorption from a hot environment, so that dark races stand such heat as that of a stokehole worse than light-skinned people.

“Contrary to common opinion, the author holds that bright light is bad for children at school, rendering them restless and irritable. The neurasthe­nia which affects white residents in the tropics and their children is due, he considers, largely to excessive light, aided doubtless by high temperature.”

WAR TAKES MOST OF COPPER OUTPUT

At Opening of Hostilities Industry Used Nine-Tenths of That

Produced.

Fish Have Been Scarce.Fish have been scarce along the

coast, hardly paying the men with nets, but the prices received have been very good. As usual, the striped bass is the aristocrat of the fish fam­ily, bringing as high as 35 cents a pound. Live eels were worth 16 cents a pound, skinned eels, 18 cents and eels with the skins on 14 cents. Flounders brought 9 to 10 cents a pound.

Toms River to Celebrate.Plans are said to be under way at

Toms River for the production of a monster historic pageant July 4. The pageant as it is being written will cover the discovery of Ocean county in 1609 by Hendrick Hudson, the dis­covery of the river at this place by Capt. William Toms in 1650, first settlers in 1660, the block house fight and the burning of the town in 1782, Capt. Kidd at Money Island, the de­parture of the Mormons for Salt Lake City, the setting apart of Ocean from Monmouth county in 1850, the re­cruiting of soldiers and sailors for the Civil war, and other scenes which are intimately connected with the history of Toms River and Ocean county. The cast will require sev­eral hundred men, women and chil­dren.

Then and Now.We never heard the word efficiency

In those days, so far as I can re­member, outside the physics labora­tory. Would to heaven it had stayed there! It must not be supposed, how­ever, that we did not work when we did work. As I look about me, I do not see many young men under our present efficient systems who seem to be working harder. Somehow we de­rived from the old men a thirst for knowledge, a restless curiosity, a joy­ous knight-errantry in the quest for truth. Surely, that teaching which can induce students to pursue their researches voluntarily outside of the classroom is the best kind of teaching.

I get the impression today that most of the joy of college life is con- I fined to the student body, and that that is often hectic. The faculties seem to me overworked, over-serious, lacking in what we call pedagogic faith—faith that the student may be trusted to get some good out of leis­ure. I suppose that we shall have to blame, as usual, the Zeitgeist. Crowd­ed curricula, multiform “student ac­tivities,” and all the full-steam and weighted throttles of modern effi­ciency are pushing out of college life just the one element that should be characteristic of it—time; time for ru­mination, day-dreaming, thought.— Robert M. Gay, in the Atlantic.

Copper Had a Heart.Here is a potato theft which

showed the cop to be a real humanl- itarian: A little, frail, white-haired old woman, her bent shoulders cov­ered with a small shawl, came dowa an Eastside street toward the corner grocery store. In front of the store she stopped and glanced hastily i around. Her trembling old hands came out from under the shawl, seized two or three potatoes on the top of a basket and were drawn back under ■ the shawl again. For a second she ' stood there, her thin lips moving as If ! in prayer, then she went on. Not ten feet away stood a big patrolman with his back turned resolutely toward the store and his gaze fixed across the street. The storekeeper was singular­ly unobserving. As soon as the little : old woman had gone the big cop turned to the storekeeper and re­marked: “She’s fixed for the day, eh?” “Yes, all right for today!” laughed back the storekeeper.—New York Times.

Plant Poplars.Poplar is a quick growth and is in

good demand for the making of matches. Recently two steamships have been loaded with the wood for European ports and the cargoes brought large profits to the shippers. With all kinds of forest trees rapidly disappearing from the face of the American continent, this tree might be made a paying crop for many sec­tions of the country. The time is com­ing when we shall need wood and there will be little wood to be had.

1916 YIELDS 058,000 TONSUnited States Now Able to Mine

2,400,000,000 Pounds a Year—.Curtailment Feared After

the War Ends.

New York.—Authorities on the cop­per trade estimate that approximately 75 per cent of the world’s present pro­duction is being used for war purposes, the remaining 25 per cent going into commercial consumptive channels as before the war began. At the outbreak of hostilities, it is estimated no more than 10 per cent of the copper pro­duced by all the countries with depos­its of the metal went into the manu­facture of war material. The peace­ful trades used up 90 per cent, and this proportion existed for several years before the upheaval in Europe.

These are significant figures, particu­larly as regards the market for copper after the war ends. The United States produced copper in the autumn months at the annual rate of2.400.000.000 pounds, compared with about 1,900,000,000 turned out in all of 1910. In July, 1914, the mines and refineries of the country were turning out the metal at the rate of 1,700,000,- 000 pounds yearly. From the begin­ning of the war to the present time, then, production has been increased700.000.000 pounds. This increase alone is greater than the entire pro­duction of the rest of the world at the present rate of output.

With talk of peace in the air, it is natural that copper producers and con­sumers alike should devote a great deal of thought to what may come when the treaty of peace is signed. With three-quarters of all the metal of the world going into munitions, it is plain enough that a tremendous al­teration of market and consumption plans will come with peace. It is only natural to assume that prices will re­flect substantially the change of con­ditions, but copper, men are not per­suaded that there will be anything like a slump. There will also be need for a drastic curtailment of production un­less peace demands should suddenly expand to a level offsetting the war demand, which experts in the trade hardly expect.

Next Six Months’ Output Sold.

The sellers of copper say they are quite comfortable about conditions for the first half of this year. They have reason to be so, for practically all the expected output has been sold, and sold on “firm” contracts—that is, con­tracts which call for delivery and pay­ment whatever may be the conditions marketwise. If the war lasts beyond July 1, the copper companies main­tain, business must continue good for the allied governments have to come to the United States for their supplies If they are to be adequate to the de­mands of the armies. It is clear, there­fore, that the duration of the conflict is the vital factor in the copper trade, not only as regards consumption this year, but a part of next year as well.

Copper prices after the war, in the opinion of a leading seller, will not b# governed solely by the law of sup­ply and demand as hinged on war op­erations. They will be affected sub­stantially by the attitude of the Amer­ican producer toward foreign buyers who come seeking the metal for com­mercial uses. It is estimated that Ger­many, Austria, Turkey and Serbia are producing copper at the rate of 100,- 000,000 pounds a year, all of which, and more, is going into the war machine. Such reports on conditions in the cen­tral powers as are available show that these nations have raked and scraped the countries over for all copper im­plements, which means that in the end vast replacements will need to be made of these supplies. The cop­per cooking utensils for 100 years or more; roofs of churches and dwelling houses; electrical implements an* rail­road and telegraph supplies have been thrown into the melting pot. In 1913 Germany and Austria imported from this country 500,000,000 pounds of cop­per, and while a part of this probably Vent into war reserves, much of the metal was bought for manufacturing purposes.

Curtailment of Buying Expected.These factors of reduced supplies

and the known movement of copper into the central powers in times of peace lead up to the part which Amer­ican producers will need to play. A great deal of the replacements, doubt­less, will have to be made in these and other European countries, what­ever may be the cost. But it stands to reason, as copper men see it, that high prices and diffident selling meth­ods will tend to curtail buying, espe­cially if the nations of Europe have financial difficulties to solve. Ameri­can copper interests are aware that committees have been organized in sev­eral countries of Europe to devise ways and means of caring for their needs on an economical basis after the war. These organizations, with gov­ernment co-operation, obviously are laying plans to buy their metal at prices favorable to themselves or to restrain buying if prices are not suit­able.

\Vith the thought in mind that gov­

ernment control is likely to be ex­ercised for a long time over foreign purchases, it is plain why prominent copper men have lately gone on rec­ord with predictions that 30-cent metal will go by. the board when the war ends. If production is to be main­tained at a high level, prices will be called upon to bear the brunt of the post-war reaction. There are produc­ers who feel that the American out­put will sag back within a year or two after the conflict is over to where it was in 1913; others are persuaded that it will not again fall so far un­less something happens to injure busi­ness all over the world. There are producers who look forward to 15-cent copper after the war demand has been cleared away, while others think that quotations will not drop under 20 cents. A great deal as regards both production and prices, it is said in the trade, depends upon legislation, which will permit American exporters to co­operate in sales abroad.

1916 Prices Break All Records.

The average price of copper in 1916 was 27.202 cents a pound, according to the records of the Engineering and Mining Journal, compared with 17.275 cents the year before. December brought the highest average for any month, with a price of 31.890 cents, while in November the average quo­tation was 30.625 cents. The prices of 1916 were never approached in any other year in the history of the indus­try.

Spelter was sold at an average quo­tation of 12.804 cents a pound, against 13.232 cents in 1915, a slump in the middle of the year working to keep the average under that of the preced­ing 12 months. Lead, on the other hand, sold at 6.058 cents, compared with 4.673 cents in 1915 and in De­cember the average price for the month was 7.50 cents.

MAY ADD CUBIT TO STATURE

Berkeley Scientists Discover Sub­stance at Base of Brain to Make

People Grow.

Berkeley, Cal.—Scientists at the University of California have discov­ered the substance that produces growth in the human body, it was an­nounced. Tethelin is what they call it. It is in the pituitary body at the base of the brain, and by retarding or accelerating its functions it may be possible, according to the Berkeley scientists, to control the stature of hu­man beings.

Announcement of the discovery was made by Dr. T. B. Robertson, profes­sor cif biochemistry, who said that he had succeeded in isolating tethelin and that he believed it was the first time in the history of biological science that it had been done.

Doctor Robertson said his experi­ments covered a period of four years. He said the utlmate importance of the discovery made by him and his asso­ciates could not be estimated at this time.

SALE OF CIDER IS STOPPED

Nice Discrimination Needed to Tell Whether It Is a “Wet" or

“Dry" Drink.

Wooster, O.—“Sweet” cider is barred in Wooster following a visit to the city representatives of the state liquor license commission. The men sam­pled the offerings of local restaurants which have been selling cider at 5 cents a glass.

Then they conferred with the city police authorities and the dealers were requested to discontinue the sale of cider to “avoid complications.”

No charges were made that the cider had accumulated more than its allow­ance of alcohol, although it is said to be more in demand when a nice dis­crimination Is required to tell whether it is a wet or dry town drink.

CHINESE BY TUNNEL LAWFUL

Novel Defense Is Offered by Two Smugglers in District Fed­

eral Court.

Kansas City, Mo.—A novel defense was offered in the federal court in Kansas City, Kan., by Lorne Stone- berg and Edward Hook, who filed ha­beas corpus proceedings to obtain their release from the federal penitentiary, where they were sent on a charge of bringing a Chinese into the United States.

To evade the federal statute, which says Chinese must not be brought into the country “by land or by water,” they brought Miih Chong, alias Mah Gwon Wy, thr. ji a tunnel under the Detroit river, to Detroit, from Wind­sor, Can. After hearing this defense, Judge Pollock took the matter under advisement.

The men were fined $1,000 each and sentenced to two years in prison, in Chicago last July.

LIVES WITH BRAIN EXPOSED

Top of Head Blown Off by Shotgun, Bernard Archer, May Yet Re­

cover Health.

McKittrick, Wis.—Bernard Archer, of this city, Is still living, after part of his skull was blown away by the dis­charge of his shotgun. The movement of his brain can plainly be seen.

Archer was returning from a clay- bird shooting event when a rabbit ran across the road in front of him. In go­ing through the brush his gun was knocked from his hand and was dis­charged as it struck the ground. He was still able to walk into town after the accident and has never been un­conscious.

A lunch club l»as been organized on the part of the boys, the purpose of which is to preserve order during the hours school is not in session. Robert Conover is president, Jack Osgoodby, vice president and Joseph Johnson, second vice president. Regular laws made by the principal will guide this organization.

Miss Sickles, the teacher of voice culture, is giving satisfaction. The singing in the assembly is most ex­cellent under the direction of Miss

The Mercantile Exhibit and Bazaar of the Asbury Park Chamber of Com­merce, which is to be held in the new Armory of Company H, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week, promises to be one of the leading events of the season at the resort. On Thursday and Friday the affair will take place between the hours of five and twelve in the evening and on Saturday the doors will open from two in the afternoon until midnight. In conjunction with the effort of the Chamber of Commerce the merchants will offer sales at attractive prices on these days.

The proceeds from the bazaar will go toward liquidating a debt of more than §2,000, inherited from the old Board of Directors. New blood in­stilled into the organization realized that without meeting these obliga­tions, as a body it would lose its power in-so-far as taking an active part in matters for the benefit of the North Jersey Coast. When George P. Lehritter, stated at a recent meet­ing that he would liquidate the ob­ligations, he met with the customary “it can’t be done” and “let George do it” but it now appears that “George” is going to do it.

The committee of fifteen which Mr. Lehritter selected to help him with the work has gone ahead under ex­treme adverse conditions but the re­sult has been spontaneous. More than 40 certificates at $25 each have been sold and the proceeds of the bazaar will undoubtedly meet the de­

ficiency. . *Company H. Armory will be deco­

rated by professionals and the inter­ior will represent a Roman Arena, with a large dancing space in (he centre. The booths will be arrang­ed around the sides. The charge for admission will be fifteen cents, which will entitle the holder to dance, and many other privileges. There will be many contests.

A restaurant will form part of the features and out of town visitors will be able to dine at a very reason­able charge, either on the combina­tion Chamber of Commerce Bullet Luncheon plan at 50 cents ot a la carte at all hours.

The merchants of Asbury Park, occupying booths at the bazaar will exhibit their latest styles and ap­

pliances.. Contributions of almost a thou­

sand dollars worth of merchandise has been donated by local stores, which will be sold at cost prices dur­ing the three days the bazaar is in session. Saturday night of the tenth, what remains will be disposed of at

auction.An amusing feature will be the

parcel post auction booth. Packages for this booth have been received from all parts of the country and will be sold at auction, without the buyer knowing the contents. The Auctioneers will be Mayor William E. Macdonald of Bradley Beach, El- vin Burtis and Lester Hamblet of As­

bury Park.A shooting gallery, with prizes for

high score each day, and Grand prize for total high score, will undoubtedly be one of the main attractions, as the universal idea of preparedness has

DEATH OF THOMAS BERGEN.

Thomas P. Bergen died at his home in Asbury Park Monday morning of Bright's disease. He had been a res­ident of that city for forty years. He was born in Cranbury in 1840, later coming to the shore where he operat­ed the Dr. Lester Wallach farm sit­uated on what is now Park avenue, Long Branch. He was 20 years old at that time and some time afterward went to farming on his own account on a piece of ground where the Geo. W. Young holdings now are. The land at that time was owned by his father-in-law, Daniel Conron. Upon coming to Asbury Park he engaged in the seed business.

He was an exempt fireman, his cer­tificate being dated Sept. 5, 1892, and was for years a member of the Grand Avenue Reformed church. He is survived by two brothers, Charles M. and Freeholder William M., both
