Trans as Well
Plans are under way by the Atlantic
county board of freeholders in commune
ton with the state authorities for the
laying out of a new boulevard to con-
meet the mainland with Absecon Island.
1t is proposed to have the new roadway
leave the mainland at Absecon. and.
rossing the salt marshes, to connect with
Ohio avenue at Venice Park. This route
will cut off almost eight miles from that
now followed, through Pleasantville and
Chelsea. In addition the new road will
obviate three dangerous grade crossings.
one at Absecon and two at Pleasantville.
and Will reach Atlantic City with the aid
Of but one drawbridge A new trolley
line may also be built along the line of
the new road, to connect Atlantic City
with A bsecon, and thence to Port Repub-
lie. Leeds point, Oceanville and event
ually to Tuckerton.
Bright, sunny weather has been the
rule during the present week, and the
Boardwalk has been crowded with prom
enaders. The theaters are feeling the in
vasion Of the winter throngs. and the
hotels and cafes are catering to an excep-
tionally early winter number Of visitors.
Crab parties are quite the fad in many
hotels at the present time. the visitors
gathering their own and having them
cooked by the hotel chefs. This is the
season when his crabship hibernates deep
in the soft mud and ooZe at the bottom of
the shallow bays and he Is at his best
at this season, with all his winter supply
of fat with him. He is raked or tonged
up from his damp bed by the crab-loving
visitor, and becomes the victim of visit
ing epfcurean appetite.

Daily Diet and Health Hints


1t is an established rule that one
should drink when thirsty, not at
started periods, because the amount
of water required must vary with the
temperature, the amount of worF
done and other circumstances, so that
while it may be said that about two
quarts daily should be drunk by the
average persc7. there need be no
started times me- amounts for drink
ing. The scientific rule for meals is
eat when you are hungry, not be-
fore, and of course az nearly as pos
sible at regular times. 1t would not
be feasible in the ordinary household
to furnish a meal for each member
when he is ready to eat, but it would
be a great improvement both for the
housewife and the health of the fam
lily, II the formal meal could be re-
duced to a dinner, and a supply Of
simple and wholesome food made &C
cessible for those who wish to eat at
other times, with the necessary SUI
ervisfon of children who tend to eat
too often and too much, and are in
clined to choose the most palatable
instead of the most Wholesome food
that is sufficiently palatable to an IN
pampered appetite.-Dr. T. j. Allen,
Food Specialist.

Presbyterian Purchasing Agent.

Along business lines the recent
Presbyterian General Assembly took
five important steps. It named a
purchasing agent. A religious body
with a man to buy things is new.
Yet with missionary and publication
societies spending millions of dollars
annually the need is readily seen. K
adopted the approtionment plan for
all mission boards, taking the most
approved methods of other bodies.
Such plan is now in operation in al
most all principal Protestant denomi-
nations. Baptist and Congregation
alists are ~perfecting it as Presbyter-
ians enter upon it. 1t consists in
the making up of an annual estimate
covering all needs for the year, and
the division of the sum e1uitably t..
certain districts, which are asked t.
give it. The assembly laid tremen-
dous emphasis upon the expenses Of
administration. 1t was shown that
this expense is eight cents per mem
bers, and not ten as first calculated,
but wen that is held to be too higa
Missionary boards were given such
stiff advice upon expense of admin
istration that their executives are
looping off expense items in many
directions already. The proposition
is up. but not yet put into effect, to
have one treasurer for all boards and
societies, not so much to lessen eX-
pense or abolish local ~treasurers, as
to save ~treasurers of churches the
bother of renting money to eight
different treaurerS-and getting the
correct amounts to each.

Every Human Being Needs,a Change

There is much truth in the follow

The day was almost ~insufferably hot.

how can you look SO fresh and de-
lightful on a day like this?' And
you! How can you notice the heat

the glorious skyscrapers to look at,
and the shop windows, with their
wonderful fashions and colors, and
the people-thc people! and these

red-faced cabby,) and those delight

"These things were to her what

and field would have been to me at
that moment. and the sight of them
was quite as refreshing, fully al in

For after all, it is not necessarily

Miss HaIlman,s Sehama.

When we were over at Lenior the
other day we learned how Miss HolI-
man stirred up some of the northen
people about tne pirifHl "a condition
OF the mountain whites" Most readers
remember the sensation she caused
and the lengthy newspaper articles
that were written on both sides. This
Miss Holman was a northern woman
who went to the mountain districts
of western North Carolina whence
some of the biggest hearted people OF
the South live. There she opened a
school and after it had been running
a short time she had a tacky party. All
the children were asked to come dres-
sed in the tacklest clothers they could
find. When a picture was made of the
group. Some time later she had a
swell dress affair. Everybody came
in their Sunday best, then she had
another picture made of the group.
These two pictures she sent back
north as a sort of before and after
taking her desc of civilization. The
pictures were such a contrast, that
sympathetic people of the North
thought she was doing a great and
worthy work and gave literally to the
SouSS- 4heu sic D0Sdu Willing news
paper articles, telling her Northen
friends that the mountain whites of
the South lived in the most pitiful
environment and asking aid to edu-
cate them. Her articles were highly
exaggerated Of course, but she got
what she wanted big donations from
the North. She had misrepresented
the good people of our mountain dis
tricts, got money under false p~retense
and swindled her Northern friends.
And this in the name, of charity

''The Bar"

The saloon is sometimes called a bar
A bar to heaven, a door to hell;
Whoever named it, named it well.
A bar to manliness and wealth;
A door to want and broken health;
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame.
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer;
A door to darkness and despair;
A bar to honored, useful life;
A door to brawling, senseless strife.
A bar to all that's true and brave;
A door to every drunkard's grave;
A bar to joys that home imparts
A door to tears and aching hearts.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell;
Whoever named it, named it we'll.

ATHLETIC AMERICAN GIRL DE.
FIES MALE WRESTLERS.
One Man Quickly Thrown by Miss
Bertha Rapp-The Other, Heavily
Built and Powerful, Unable to Gain
Victory Over Her.

New York, July 10.-Miss Bertha
Rapp, an athletic American girl of
German ~parentage and a teacher of
calishenics in Cincinnati, was the
chief figure in a unique Fourth of
July celebration on board the steam
ship Adriate, just in from Southamp-
ton. The young woman is about five
feet, nine inches tall and weighs
about $50 pounds. Her speciality is
wrestling, and she challenged n
man aboard the ship to bouts of five
minutes each catch as catch can. Two
second cabin passengers, one an
American bicycle rider, Arthur Lib
by, who weighs 140, and George Lahr-
mann, a German who weighs 1876, as
cepted the challenge. The bouts took
place on a part of the deck dividing
the first from the second cabin, and
all passengers except those in the
steerage, crowded around the gladia-
tors.
Miss Rapp wore a sweater and a
short skirt and the men were strip
ped to undershirts. Libby held out
against the young woman in the first
bout, but she put his shoulders to
the mat in the third minute of the
second bout. Then she took the stout
German. He proved a tough proDosi-
ton. They wrestled twenty minutes,
with intervals of rest between the
five minute bouts. The German had
some science and much muscle, which
combined with his weight, resisted
the gallant efforts IF the Young Wo-
| man to put him d-rn. He also could
do nothing with 49,. - fact. his
himself from beino thrown. The re-
fierce called the contest a drew al
the end OF the fourth bout when mel
ther wrestler seemed fit to continue.
