Excited, it is said. over information
conveyed to her, Miss Eva Armbreuster
aged l6, of Pleasantville, had series
OF convuIsions while riding in rolling
chair on the Boardwalk at South Caro-.
lima avenue, late on Saturday night
creating much excitement among the
many weekend visitors who were stroll
ing at that point.
A call was sent in to the Atlantic
City Hospital for the ambulance The
girl was wheeled down the incline in the
chair to meet the vehicle, and quickly
hurled away to the hospital. Her con.
dition was not serious, but in view Of
the lateness of the hour she was admit
ted, pending her recovery. She was dis,
charged Sunday morning, having fully
gotten over the attack, and brought to
her Pleasantville home.
The shock to Miss Armbreuster was
due, it is said by her friends, to her as
certaining that a young man to whom
she was much attached, had married
another girl Saturday afternoon.

NEED OF CONTROL.

What the American people
have done during nearly forty
years of-iegislation and expe-
rience is to establish policy for
the control of transportation
lines and great aggregations of
capital in corporate form. |
maintain the wisdom and the ne
cessity for such reasonable con-
troll. 1t has been adopted by the
deliberative Judgment of the, ma
ton and, in my opinion, has
come to stay. No great move
ment of this Kind grows among
a whole people without just i'm
pelling cause. 1t is not the
work of shallow minds or of
demagogues.-Frank B. Kellogg.

Did l, Ever Occur to You---

That 1t is costing this town over
$1,000 per year for our street electric
lights?
That an annual levy of five mills
is now necessary to keep our streets
lighted by electricity?
That our police department does
not cost rs much yearly as does our
lighting system?
That during the past few years
electric lights have been placed in ev-
cry nook and Granny in town? The
town council cannot refuse any one
or, at least, they do not.
That we could get along without
our street lights after midnight? The
petty pilfering goes on just the same
whether the stseets are lighted or
not,

The matter of good roads has been
agitated for many years, and one
would naturally infer that good roads
only are now being constructed. But
II such the case? Last year this
county expended 1900 on it's roads,
and what have we to show for such
m enormous outlay? Doesn't it APP
pear that something is wrong some
where? Isn't it about time that more
thoughtful study were given the SUBJ
ject so that when dollar is expend-
ed 1t will be we'll expended instead of
being virtually thrown away? Quite
number of people-and well-mean-
ing people at that-seem to think
that they know all about good roads,
but have they demonstrated 1t salts
factorily? When the first snow melts
or the rain comes they then seen see
their mistakes. 1t costs money to ex-
perimeDt-especiaily on roads. Evil
