Asbury Park, Aug. 16.-Founder Brad ley's latest move to improve tthe morals of Asbury Park is causing much com ment among the young people who have been in the habit of strolling down to "Lovers' Retreat" at Deal Beach after dark Some of the young folks feel in- dignant at this sign, which has been mailed up in a conspicuous place:
 ''No person will be allowed to pass the point after dark, for reasons known to the police"
 Several young couples were prevented last night by the police from visiting their famous resort. They went to MT. Bradley to-day and asked for an expla- nation. Founder Bradley told them that he had put up the sign not to offend any one, but to keep Questionable per sons from visiting the secluded spot on thetbeach after dark.

IF YOU ARE
 IN TROUBLE

Like the man in the cut, possibly you'll have smart and keen experience; and if you are a smart man you will cer- tainly drop in to claim your share of the prizes we are offering during our clear out Inventory Sale of Mems and Boys Clothing.
 We'll honor your claim on very easy terms, and we have no doubt but that you will appreciate our liberality. Inventory Sales as a rule are bargain sales, but there never was such a phe- nomenal bargain sale as ours. We have not taken the cost of our goods into consideration at all, having simply di- vided our Mems Suits into four prices, So.uv, So.VV, SlVUu, ana SlzUU, ana III our Children's Department we have taken off one-third and in some cases one- half from former prices.
 The people of southern Connecticut never had such an opportunity to buy good clothing so cheap. and that they realize this fact is demonstrated by our greatly increased August sales.
 This sale will last but few days longer, take advantage of it while you have the chance.
