BANKRUPT GLICkMAN'sC CASE
His Effort TO Evade His Creditors
Declared Illegal

A little over three years ago young
and apparently energetic Jew by the
name of Glickman started in business
at Wild wood. He seemed to prosper
and had not been in business long be-
fore his store became too small for him.
A rebuilding sale" followed and
larger store. Shortly after matters
seemed to take turn. 1t was whis-
pered about Wildwood that young
Glickman was having trouble with his
creditors. Suddenly one night the sign
in front of the store was repaintedand
new proprietor assumed control. Word
went around that GlIckman had sold
out to his successor.
But this did not ''go" with his credi-
tors, who claimed that a man could
not sell his stock for one half of its
value, change the signs on his store
overnight and fail to pay his debts.
After three years of litigation Law
yer OFT as trustee of the bankrupt
estate in suit against M. Doroshow
has secured decision in the bankrupt
cy court to the effect that the course
taken by Glickman was not legal, and
therefore not a bonifide sale. He has
fought the case successfully through
four different courts, and finally in the
United States Bankruptcy Court. He
will now proceed to close up the estate
and divide the proceeds among the
creditors.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR Q
FIVE MILE BEACH
Supervising Principal Myers
Bending Every Effort to Found
Model Place of Learning
for Pupils of the
Three Resorts

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t has become evident to the people
of the three resorts of Five Mile Beach
that high school will be necessity.
The Wildwoo school is teaching the
high school grades and is taking pupils
from the other boroughs, but the in
crease in scholarships has been so
marked that already, the half dozen
schools of the island are becoming
pushed for accommodations.
The new school opened Monday on
the North Wildwood tract with close
to two score pupils in charge of Miss
Mae Stanton.
1t is also a foregone conclusion that
/ Wildwood Crest will be forced to build
a school as we'll as railroad station
and church for the accommodation
of its rapidly increasing population.
At present. to utilize these facilities the
people Of the Crest mostly visit Holly
Beach, which is well equipped with
churches and schools.
Prof. Levanus Myers, the efficient
supervising principal of the Five Mile
Beach schools, is bending all his efforts
to the organization of model high
school and is enlisting the support of
the people as well as the members of
the three Boards of Education. So far,
he has met with much encouragement.
AS Wild wood is the central point be-
tween the resorts of Anglesea and
Holly Beach, it is proposed to locate
the prospective high school at this
place.
1t is the object of Prof. Myers to
make an up-to-date place of learning a
reality by the next fall term.

A communication was read from
Lawyer H. H. Voorhees, representing
his client, B. V. VanHorn, claiming
that Mr.. VanHorn was still collector
and treasurer of Wildwood and that he
had advised him not to turn over the
moneys and other borough property to
Jed Dubois, who was elected collector
by Council last June because Mr.. Van
Horn failed to renew his official bond
as he is required to do annually by law.
Since June $1,000 of the borough's
money has been tied up to the credit
of Mr.. VanHorn as collector in the
Marine National Bank, which has
compelled the borough to borrow mon
ey to meet its obligations. There will
be interest due ON Novem ber 1st to the
amount of about 81, 900 ON bonds, hIch
will necessitate more borrowing II the
money is not turned over. Judge
Voorhees, letter was referred to Solic-
itor Baker and the next meeting fixed
for next Tuesday evening to hear a re-
port on the matter. The street COM
mittee reported on the defective cement
walk work of the Sweeten and Blome
contracts and measures taken to ad-
just the matter in order that final
settlement might be made. The SUBJ

Looks and Kevs of old.

Locks were used in the time OF
the PharaOhs. At Karnak the
visitor is shown the sculptured
representation of a lock which is
almost exactly like one kind OF
lock used in Egypt at the pres
ent day. Homer says that Pene
lope used a brass key to open
her wardrobe. He adds that il
was crooked and had an ivory
handle. A Greek writer who lived
in the last half of the twelfth
century explains that such keys
were undoubtedly very ancient,
although still to be seen in Con
stantinople and elsewhere. Ro
man locks, like the Egyptian, re
quired a partial sliding of the
key. They were, however, more
intricate.

SCHEME is NOT FEASIBLE
Proposal to Transmit Electric Power
from Victoria Falls to Johannes
burg Ridiculed.

1t is gratifying to note that
the technical press has sounded
note of warning against the
proposal to generate hydraulic
electric power at the Victoria
falls of the Zambesi river and
transmit il over a distance OF
745 miles for use in the gold
mines at Johannesburg, says a
writer in the Scientific American
But, although the proposal to
deliver this power at figure
that would be at once economical
to the consumer and profitable
to the company has been ridi
culed by the technical press, the
lay public is liable to be misled
by a scheme which, on the face
of it. would seem to hold out
hattering prospects of success
AT the present time the most i'm
portant transmission of energy
for commercial purposes is that
from Niagara to Buffalo, where
the distance covered does not eX
ceed 20 miles. The longest
transmission. according to pres
ent information. is that which
is in successful operation in Cali
fOrnia over distance of about
OBJ miles. so that the proposed
transmission line in South AT
rica will be $40 per cent. longer
than anything that has yet been
attempted. According to Prof
William +. Ayrton. who not long
ago made a severe criticism OF
the scheme in the London Times
the johannesburg mining dis
trict consumes about 100000
horsepower, at an average cost
of 500 a horsepower year
Niagara sends $4,000 horsepower
to Buffalo. where il is sold al
about 1925 a horsepower a year
and Buffalo. as we have noted
is distant from Niagara only u
miles. Furthermore, in the
neighbOrhOOd of Johannesburg
are abundant supplies of coal, OF
which an excellent quality can be
delivered on the Rand for from
$3.50 to 81 a ton. Even if the
Victoria falls plant were to be
built and a great transmission
line constructed it is not likely
that the important mining indus
tries in Johannesburg would be
willing to trust the operation Of
their costly plants to the integ
rity OF few copper cables ex
tending for over 200 mile:
through the wilds of a savage
country.

Living So Much in the Dark, Crea-

Their Eyes.

IF you blind a bat" said a
biologist, "the creature some
how will still see. If you doubt
this, consult Levy.
Levy, the great authority
once removed the eyes of several
bats and covered the vacant
sockets with leather patches. In
this condition the bats flew
about the room, avoiding the
walls and corners, and when a
door was opened they flew out of
it without touching the jamb or
the frame.
"Afterward, in flying through
a sewer, that made a right angle,
the bats turned at the proper
point without brushing tbs
walls, and they flew through
threads suspended from the cell
ing without touching them,
though between the threads
there was only an interval suffi-
cient for their passage with
spread pinions.
"Bats, living in the dark, have
found their eyes almost useless,
and have developed a sixth sense
that takes the place of eyesight."

To boil a thing well it is not

that the more cOmmOtiOn in the

great deal of fuel and ruins the
stove by keeping it red-hOt. Wa
ter placed in a stewpan directly
over a red-hOt lid will, of course,
boil more vehemently, yet it will
not cook meat or potatoes any
quicker. and not so well as wa
