Zeller Talks on Laws ReIat-
ing TO the Family

AT a meeting of the Home Section of
the Wildwood Civic Club held recently
at the home of Mrs. VIM. Fl. Austin,
Mr.. w. E. Zeller, of Vineland, gave a
brief talk on Laws Relating to the
Home It was a revelation 10 many
that a subject usually considered so dry
could be made so interesting but the
presentation was so clear and concise
and the vital Importance to the welfare
of women and children of a knowledge
of some OF the fundamental laws relat-
ing to the home was so forcibly brought
out that the attention Of all was held
until end. The interest aroused was
wn by the number of questions
asked Mr.. Teller in the o al discus
sion which followed. A rising vote of
thanks was rendered Mr.. Zeller after
which tea and cake were served.
Briefly, his talk was as follows:
As the home constitutes the founda-
ton of the institution known as society,
it Is important that every citizen should
have q kno Wedge of atleast q brief anal
ysis of the laws governi & the home.
There is scarcely a business transaction
or any relation of life not touched upon
in some way or n by the laws re-
lating to the home. The laws relating
to husband and wife with their mutual
rights, duties and liabilities were d welt
upon. Some very interesting points in
regard to dover and curtesy were
brought out and the so called Rathburn
Act which was recently passed and
which is designed to set aside the old
laws was explained, Nj. ZelIer said
that by many %jurists the Rathburn Act
was considered unsatisfactory and in
complete and it was felt that further
legislation must be had before full JUS
tice for both men and women could be
had. The laws relating to parents and
children, guardian and ward, evidence
and testimony, judgment, wills and
pure food laws were also touched o O

Bituminous Road to Mainland

The road question to Wildwood was
settled on Tuesday by the Board of
Freeholders at its regular meeting vot-
ing to repair the old road by replacing
the present gravel surface with a btu
minous top the whole width Of the
road, thirty feet, from Pacific avenue to
the main seashore road, a distance Of
over three miles. The material used
will be similar to that used on the new
Wildwood streets. In this action the
board was unanimous. For some
months the board has had under con
sideration the building of a second road
to Five Mile Beach, n site along the
line of the Wild wood and Delaware
Bay Short Line railroad and one at the
northern end in Anglesea, a strong Pc
tition being filed for the latter road.
The road along the railroad track as
suggested by the plan of E. G. Slaugh-
ter was declared by the solicitor of the
board to be illegal and could not be
done. The other road did not seem
feasible because of the great expense
involved. The Freeholders from the
island, Messrs. Saul and Hilton, in
sisted that one of the new roads be
built, but were obliged to compromise
by a substantial improvement to the
old one. The big draw bridge on this
road is now being repaired, while the
second largest one, which spans Rich
ardson's channel, will be replaced by
an entirely new one II seems that the
Freeholders have displayed good judy
ment in the road matter, as n good,
hard, dustless aud dirtless road will
probably prove to be better than two
gravel roads. In past years the board
has found the expense of repairs to ex-
Isting gravel roads to be enormous. 1t
is thought that the bard road to be
built will stand the storms of winter
better than the gravel roads.
The board on Tuesday also voted to
build a bridge across Corson's Inlet to
connect Ocean City and Sea Isle City.
This bridge and the road to be built in
connection with it will cost in the
neighborhood Of 5000, 900. 1t was also
voted to build three miles of road to
connect Avalon with Stone Harbor,
the cost of which will be in the neigh.
borhood Of $50, 0O0. 1t is estimated that
the new hard rosd to Wildwood will
cost about $50, 900

 MOTORMAN'S GONG UNHEEDED.
 Carelessness on the part of James Morley of the East End, came near costing him his life this morning. James Flynn a motorman on the Stratford division, was going towards Stratford> at a lively rate. As he passed St. Michae1's cemetery he no ticed man some distance ahead walking on the track. When the car came within hearing distance the gong was sounded and the pedestrian step ped to one side. He did not leave the street, however. and continued to keep close to the rails. As the car drew near the motorman observed that MorIey's gaitSwas unsteady. He put on the brakes and brought the car to q stop, but not in time to prevent Morley from being struck by the side of the car. The collision threw him several feet and opened quite a gash in his head. Dr. O'Hara was sum moned and found the extent of MOr = 1ey's injuries to be severe scalp wound. It was learned after the ac- cident that Morley has been stone deaf for years. Witnesses say that the notorrnan was in no way to blame. The biggest string yet reported by the local trouters was caught by liar ry Clark on Monday. It numbered 28

The va1u- able archaeological and historical col lection belonging to M. Huybrigts, of Tongres, Belgium, is reported. to have been ruined when his house was de- stroyed.

REASON FOR RECALL

Washington, April 3-Secretary Garrison said today he had ordered the return of the United States army officers observing the military opera tions of the German army because their mission was completed. He said no other officers would be de- tailed with the German Army.
 MT Garrison declared ernphatica1-, ly that the relief of the five officers on duty with the German army was in no manner connected with the re- cent relief of Major George T. Lang hore as military attache at Berlin. BIajor Langhorne was ordered to re- turn to the United States after it was learned that messages bearing his sig nature had been sent to the army war college here without his knowl- edge.
 MT. Garrison and army officers here, without exception, maintained a strict silence as to Major Lang horne's withdrawal except to say that it was entirely upon the initia- tive of the war department No or ders have been issued recalling Amer fcan army officers acting as observe CTS with other belligerent armies in Europe.

Rotterdam, April Professor Max imilian Harden in his latest lecture at Berlin on the course of the war said:
 Our chief enemy, England, [has, it is true7 not yet received any mortal wound, but the greatest danger is threatening her from our submarines. As soon as we have succeeded in ex- tending the radius of action of the four bigger submarinetypes they can be used for lavish laying of mines.
 s.On that day the island Kingdom will find itself surrounded by a new circle of mines, and her rnastershfp of the seq. win be at an end In every thing Germany can have confidence. After eight months of tremendous struggle, it is true it Is not standing as conqueror, but it's power is un- touched.''
 A description of the Germans new submarines from an authoritative source says that they disp1ace 900 tons of water when fully submerged and have two Diesel engines capable of de-. vefoping 300 to $50 horsepower.
