Ell Fl. Chandler Will Be Retained
to Handle Citizens League Interests

Of the immediate employment Of Legal
talent to handle the citizens interests
and bring proper pressure to bear upon
the railroad officials that will have uiti-
mate effect of reducing car fares to th,
former standing, viz: five cents between
Pleasantville and Atlantic City. Speeches
in support Of this purpose were made BY
McNeely, J, L. Stephenson, H. w. Hell
frich, J. w Watkins, j. Al Mckinney.
Joseph Mendel, councilman Elmer Leeds,
Charles Carty, Winfield Adams ana
Harry Zeitman. Mr.. Stephenson and Mr..
Carty fail to take any stock i'll the as
sertion made by superintendent Lowell
in letter sent to station agent Reed.
and which was published in last week :
Press. These men believe that the rail
road official has endeavored to hoodwink
the people and throw them off their
track. In fact, Mr.. Carty rccited rail
road history that is conclusive PROOF
more or less, that the Pennsylvania sya
TEN is in control of the local situation
in spite of Mr.. Lovell's contention to the
contrary.

lawyer: Messrs Helfrich, Mendel and
Mckinney Mr.. Chandler is said to be
highly versed i'll railroad law and has
compiled books that are accepted a.

have several reasons for favoring Mr..
Chambers services. one of them being
that the lawyer was at one time counsel
for the Suburban Railway Company and
should be quite familiar with ms and
outs of the kinks that have helped that
company to step over franchises and
agreements Besides this particular
qualification Mr.. Chandler is in wrong
with the railroads operating in this see

interest in the peoples quarrel for the
rights that have been taken away from
them. He has made promises to the
committeeman that in the event of hic

aPITY THE POOR COAL MAN


Pity the poor coal man. was the
slogan of ali address delivered before
the Order Kokoal, composed OF coal
producers aud dealers, at their final bust
ness meeting in Atlantic City. Without
referring to the caricatures in which the
coal man is made the subject OF humor
Gus attack a. an assured plutocrat, along
with the ice dealer and plumber, Arthur
f. Rice, head of the Coal Merchants
Association of New York City, declared
that the householder of the United
States is getting coal cheaper in proper
tion to the price of other necessities than
ever before and insisted that the coal
man Of the day i really one Of the most
abused victims Of the high cost Of living.
The retail coal merchant is suffer
ing from the high cost OF living just
as everybody else is, declared Mr.. Rice,
and the cost of coal has not gone up
in proportion. Many people think the
coal business is highly profitable, but
when YOU come to consider the amount
Of money invested, the amount Of work
involved and the fact that the retailer j.
entirely at the mercy of the producer,
of strikes and other factors out OF his
control, | believe that you will agree
with me that the business pays lower
dividends than any other similar enter
prise"

HIPPITY HOP TO THE HOBBLE SHIRTS SHOW
TO BUY HER A MARROW CUT" GOWN
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

"Shall we go for a hobble?"
says Mamie to George.
There was a time when men
and maidens went for a walk. but
that was before the hobble gown.
shall we take the long walk
together?" is the way the poet
proposed marriage. Now he would
have to say, "Win you hobble
Through life with me?"
Poetic, isn't it?
A real hobble skirt of the ex-
treme style was in town today,
along the street with it's
ultra wearer. Department store
men say they really like the new
hobble style, but that particular
one was too much for them.
You read about the actress
who tripped in her hobble skirt,
fell and was luilled?" was one de-
partment stree chiefs comment.
Daring and Sensational.
1.-The extreme style is daring"
he said. No woman would wear
one on the street unless she want
ed to attract attention. It's UNI
and sensational, but the
modified styles are pretty.
Nothing doing, though, for the
fat woman or short woman. It's
the style for the piano lamp girl
again, and she certainly will Light
things up lin the hobble gown.
p" 'Hobble' gown is already bad
form, that is. the word is. The
latest dry goods publications dom t
use the word 'hobble.' 1t is the
marrow cut skirt or the narrow
cut gown.
I'VE have bought modified suit
forms to display the new gowns,
you see it's a style for the tall,
slender woman"
"But, gracious, what are the
rest of the women going to do?"
| demanded. "They can't change
their figure every time the styles
change"
NO" he said, "but the cor
setiere can help out some. The
new corsets are very long and
straight, reaching almost to the
knees. I don't think women can
sit down in them; they'll just have
to sort of lean against chairs"
"Oh, joy. It's great to be "a
woman. The human form divine
with her infinite variety, is a lib
eral education.
