Odd Fellows Hold Large Meeting

A large district meeting OF the four
Odd Fellow lodges of the county was
held In the lodge room of Holly Beach
Lodge, No. 100. last Monday evening.
Large delegations were present from
Cape May, Tuckahoe and Cape May
Court House.
AT an early hour the members began
to arrive and about eight o'clock the
room was crowded. After a short busi-
ness session the purpose of this gather
ing was announced by Brother VIM.
H. Bright, who welcomed those pres
ent in a short speech.
Noble Grand A. K. Blinn, acting as
toastmaster for the evening, then called
upon Past Grand Master Edmund l..
Ross, Of Hereford Lodge, who respond
ed with an appropriate address. Ex-
Sheriff Bright, of Holly Beach Lodge,
was again called upon and made a
most eloquent address, touching upon
all phases of the order, using several
incidents to illustrate his remarks.
Robert Hughes, Of May Flo wer Lodge,
followed with q few remarks, as did
Truman Hickman, of Hereford Lodge.
District Deputy Costello, of May Flow
er Lodge, could not find words enough
to give utterance to his feelings on this
occasion. Rev. II. P. Grim, from
Tuckahoe, gave an impressive address,
urging the great necessity of utilization
with an order of this kind, pointing out
the great help 1t had been to young
men. Past District Deputy e. @.
Wheaton was called upon but was I'M
prepared with a speech, but Joseph
Camp, of Hereford Lodge, was equal
to the occasion and made up for the
loss of a speech from the district depu-
ty. Reuben johnson, of Hereford
Lodge, kept his hearers In an uproar
of laughter with a number of reminis-
cence of trips taken with a brother
present in the room, but finished with
an appeal for good fellowship. He was
followed by Reuben Mount with a few
appropriate remarks.
Between the speeches, old-time songs
were sung with a vim, with A. M.
Wright at the lodges new organ.
Announcement was made that there
were three hundred and ninety-eight
members in the four lodges comprising
this thirty-first district, but an earnest
campaign was to be started, the aim
being one thousand members by 1919.
The number of visitors present from
Tuckahoe were 10, May Flower so and
Hereford 81.
After the speech making a lunch was
served, following which came a period
of good fellowship, and at late hour
the affair terminated with many ex-
pressions of pleasure for an evening
well spent and a rising vote Of thanks
for the brotherly spirit of Holly Beach
Lodge.

SCOTLAND LlGHTSHIP.
Origin of the Name of the Famous
Beacon Off Sandy Hook.


Beacon Off Sandy Hook.
Scotland lightship is so called be-
cause it marks the site of the wreck
of the ship Scotland. According to an
entry in the records of the United
States coast guard at Washington. she
was a British steamship of Liverpool
bound from Liverpool to New York
With a cargo of merchandise. she
stranded near Sandy Hook on Dec. 2,
1866, and was a total loss. The acting
commissioner of the bureau of light
houses supplies this excerpt from the
records of the bureau:
Under authority of the joint resolu-
ton of congress approved March 2.
1868. a light vessel was moored on
April 10. 1868. to mark temporarily
the obstruction TO navigation caused
by the wreck of the steamship Scot
land. The work of removing this
wreck was completed in 1870, and the
lighthouse board decided that it had
no authority for retaining the light YES
sci at that point any longer without
further congressional authority. This
authority was given by an act of con-
gress approved June %, 1874, and light
vessel No. % was accordingly placed
ON the station on Sept. 10, 1874. being
relieved by light vessel No. 20 on Dec.
1. 1875. Light vessel No. 20 was con
tinued on the station until 1880. when
light vessel No. Z took her place. Light
vessel No. I was relieved on Dec. 2
1902. by light vessel No. II. which is
still the regular station ship at this
location.
while the wreck of the steamship
Scotland was an obstruction to naviga
ton, the light vessel maintained tC
mark her position was known as the
Wreck of Scotland light vessel. After
the wreck had disappeared and anoth
er light vessel was placed there by al
act of congress. not to mark the OBJ
struction. but as an aid to navigator;
desiring to enter the port of New York
the light vessel was known as the
Scotland light vessel, which name /
still retained. New York Sun.

CHRISTMAS COOKERY.
Turkey and Its Sauce In Different Ap.
petizine Ways.

Variety as a u seems just as de-
sirable in the case of the traditional
Christmas turkey as In the other af-
fairs of life. This fact may recon-
mend the following directions from the
Designer to the consideration of pro-
gressive cooks: Lard the breast of the
turkey with strips of larding bacon in
regular lines; then cover 1t with thin
slices of lemon. Butter a sheet of pa
per and wrap the bird In 1t, roasting
1t for an hour and basting it carefully.
After this remove the paper and lem
on and roast again for half an hour
or longer, according to size. Allow it
to brown nicely and at last haste it
with butter. To make chestnut force
meat peel two dozen chestnuts, throw
them into boiling water, boil for ten
minutes, after which drain them and
take off the underskin. Return them
to the pan with sufficient milk or milk
and water to cover and simmer them
till tender. Have ready a medium
sized onion boiled soft, a tablespoon
full of chopped parsley and two ounces
of fresh butter slightly warmed. Drain
and mash the chestnuts; mix with the
other ingredients and a plentiful sea-
soning Of salt and pepper. The onion
should be chopped. Many people pre-
fer the chestnut forcemeat mixed with
pork sausage meat as being more tasty.
When this is the case take equal
quantities of each.
AS sauce for the foregoing prepare
about twenty chestnuts, as before, or
roast them till tender. If roasted the
rinds and underskins are removed aft
err cooking. Mash them and mix with
an ounce of butter, a t~easpoonfu1 of
granulated sugar, the strained juice of
a lemon and seasoning of salt, pepper
and grated nutmeg. Put this mixture
into a stewpan with one-half pint Of
milk and One-quarter pint of cream.
Stir till it thickens and is smooth; then
serve in a gravy boat.
For turkey in Turkish style wash
well and partially boil one cupful of
rice in boiling water to which has been
added salt to taste. Drain off the wa
ter when the rice begins to soften and
mix with the latter twelve French
chestnuts which have been blanched
and chopped, a quarter of a pound of
c~urrants and two ounces of almonds,
also blanched and chopped. Season to
taste with salt, pepper and a dash Of
cinnamon. Now melt half a cupful of
butter and stir into the mixture. Use
this to stuff the turkey and haste Of
ten. Serve with brown gravy or the
chestnut described above.
To make celery sauce slice the best
part of four heads of young celery in
small pieces and boil in salt and wa
ter for twenty minutes. Then drain
and put into a clean saucepan, cover
ing them with white or vegetable
stock. Add a teaspoonful of salt, a
blade of mace and stew all together
until tender. Mix two ounces of but
ter and a dessertspoonful of -four.
When this is quite smooth stir into a
cupful of good cream milk (milk may
be used instead of creamy and mix this
in with the celery and stock. Make
hot for about a quarter of an hour.

Aside from the payment of the
regular monthly bills there was little

to improve the electric range lights for
the benefit of the sailors who use the
inlet, which Superintendent Nye and
the Council will endeavor to correct at
once. Solicitor Tatem reported that the
Supreme Court proceedings taken by
II. H. Voorhees, to test the validity of
the assessments against lots owned by
him for street Improvements had been.
decided in favor of the borough. Judge
Voorhees, commended that the cost of the
sand cut and fill necessary to establish
the grade could not be legally charge
able to the AUDITING lots. The case was
argued at the June term of the Court,
and the decision has just been made
sustaining the assessments, in which
about 81, 200 was involved. The Solicit
tor felt that an important precedent
had been established by the decision of
the court.
Capt. Hewitt says on last Tuesday
morning the tide was higher than 1t
has been during the entire fall. He
says the water covered the entire length
of Champagne island with one or two
exceptions and they were sand dunes.
The old jetty was entirely covered but
the new one was not affected. After
the tide subsidized the Captain noticed
there had been a settling of the island
q little north Of the end of the new jetty
but does not think the sea will wash
this depression out any further. II it
should it will necessitate driving more
piling Immediately or the work about
completed over old Hereford Inlet will
be a total loss. 1t would be wise, how
ever, for those having this work in hand
to investigate this condition.
Capt. N. II. 8. Yewdall came down
on Tuesday from Philadelphia III his
auto, intending to stay for a time, but
the weather looking stormy he returned
the same day. He expects to go to
Miami, Florida, about January 1st.
Capt. Hewitt's wife and daughter are
both suffering from an attack OF the
grippe, which seems to be epidemic
among the residents here.
The Methodist church will hold its
Christmas entertainment on Wednes-
day evening, December 22d and the
Baptist church the following evening,
December 28d. This is done to give
the people a chance to enjoy both enter
tainments.
Mrs. Fred Brobson will reside in the
Crest with her mother during the win
ter, leaving the management OF the
Windsor Hotel to her brother. Little
Mary Brobson, who was born the Sth
of December, is becoming quite a joy to
her mother.

 Susie Damn isn't the only person l know who is setting "his house in or der" this New Year.
 And, by the way, the first of the year is as good a time as any other to dis card useless things and clear out "cubby holes,' and rearrange things generally, and swear off or .on''-isnt it?
 For instance. if you happen to have the mania of keeping letters and invitations and things for months and months in your desk until they accumulate so that you can't find room to turn around; adver- tisements and circulars for vacuum cleaners" and things that you know you are never going to buy wildcat schemes suggesting mining stocks, in ''get- rich-quick" projects, all pigeon-holed care- fully away, until there is no more vacant space in which to cram things in-why not make January 1 "cleaning-up" day?
 Those things don't bespeak sentiment. accumulating all such trash and stuff-it's only very bad habit

 The Liberty Bell Bird club of the Farm Journal says that the destructive insect invasion Is not caused altogether by the killing of the birds themselves who would eat the insects, but largely because the farmer has cut down the trees and shrubbery. depriving his former little neighoors of their nesting places without providing others. It urges the farmers and fruit growers to plant those trees ana shrubs which will entice the foraging robin away from his favorite cherry tree, and yet maintains that he
 is entitled to a little of even this choice fruit in return for all the ravaging fruit pests he devours. It claims that he will not, however. bother the cherries if he has Russian mulberries, which ripen at the same time. This tireless forager also prefers chokeberry, holly, elder sour gum, shadberries, wild cherries, wild grapes. green brler and smilax to cher ries. He is such a gentleman robber that bird bath has been known to lure him away from his favorite mulberry. he robin likes to 'be a near neighbor to man, and that he is more obliging and hon. est one than is generally believed is shown by his propensity to rid a farm CTS cabbage patch of cut worms all in exchange for a few (perhaps wormy) cherries

Why the World Needs q Mother
By CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN

Do not look for fashion plates, for cooking recipes, for directions how not to poison the baby-that is what you usually find under this caption, but not here. These words are to call to mind the fact that this great world and all that is in 1t belongs to women as much as to men,
 It is our world in full half share not to divide and manage separate- 1y, but to administer as a whole, to. gether.
 All our previous history up to date has made the mistake of assuming this to be mans world; and. laboring under this initial error, man has run it all by himself in his own way.
 Woman meanwhile was carefully ielegated to circumscribed region called home. This. she was told, was was the queen of the home and he was everything else.
 1. No. if the home really was sep arate world. entirely under her man. agement, our story would have been very different. As matter of fact. the home was his home, like everything else. It's size and quality and loca- ton all depended upon him--and he can hop up and change when ho pleases-and the queen must follow aft CT. Also this little queehdom Is run to suit the kings tastes and needs and desires. The queen cooks and washes for him and lives on what he gives her.
 The home belongs to man and wom- an both, Of course and the whole round world belong to man and wom- an both-equally. of course.
 It is time that the women of the world realize this and accepted the responsibility. Men tell us our work Is nobler than theirs. It is. We make that. But look at the people we make. Are you satisfied with them?
 do not mean your own children of course they are perfect. Look at other peoples children--are they per- feet?
 Are you satisfied with the appearance end behavior of the people you Sec you satisfied with that street. with the houses with the city? Do you like the land laws of your country? Are you contented with the quality of the goods you buy and the price you pay?
 Is this world the kind of place you like to have your children grow up in? The home is woman's world" they tell us. If she makes her home hap- py all will so well.'
 Here is new version.
 The world is woman's home-.if she makes her world happy, all will 70 we'll. Suppose men get up war. which they continually do. Men fight by na- ture because they are males.
 Why should they? It is merely the old brute instinct of sex combat that makes them fight; 1t is not l human performance--merely male one.
 Yet so convinced are they of the su- perior beauty and service of the art of lighting that they would deny us a share in the government because. forsooth, we cannot fight!

person glibly. "I was only thinking that I'd been through the same ordeal last year, and that although I held out a little longer than January 8, I finally gave up in despair.
 "Still, don't you believe in trying to keep account of ones expenditures for little things, and thereby become more careful?" demanded Susie Damn viz orously.
 'Do I?' Sally Bugg unused slseptically. "I wonder if 1t does? My own experl- ence proves that my bookkeeping only added one more miserable, wretched lit- tie worry to the bother of looking after the measley amount of money I had to spend. It seemed to make the little pitt tance go all the faster and then, too, that was always the disagreeablc con- dition of having it stare at you red handed from the pages of the book, every time you opened it. Then, too.. mine never came out right and so I aban- two figures to express itself''
 But Susie Damus look changed to q fixed stare as she chased that 10 cents from corner to corner of her little old brain, while Sally Bugg sat silent, in amused sympathy.
 "At last" cited Susie Damn, 'I have it." and she entered with due ceremony the missing item and closed her book with a gesture of relief.
 What was 1t for, may ask?" Sally inquired.
 Ten cents worth of chocolate nuts, , said Susie sheepishly.

what? Against whom ?' Against the en- emy," they answer.
 "What and who is this enemy?''
 "A foreign nation,'' they tell us. Never in the world.
 Never in ali history did one nation at tack another. It was always and only the men.
 A nation is composed of men and women.
 A nation does not fight-men fight.
 They have retarded civilization from age to age by their manslaughtering; strewing our green world with death and agony: wasting the wealth of generations in noise and destruction.
 The duty of women, when they wake up, rub their eyes, see that this world belongs to them, too, and that it might be much better managed-the first duty of women will be to stop the fighting.
 In later aRes., ages of peace and uni versal prosperity, we shall look back and laugh at this period, when women were refused their rlghtful- place in the world because they were not the fighting sex. fH
 This Is what the women need to real ize; so long as men alone. make the world as bad as 1t is. woman alone cannot make the home any better than it is
 The real business of life is to maintain, reproduce and Improve human beings; to keep them all in good condition; to see that the stock does not run out. and to improve that stock. There is room for improvement. We speak as If a ''feminine' view of life must be neces- sarily narrow and one-sided. If 1t is, then so Is "masculine'' view.
 The previous assumption is that men are people--men are humanity and wom- en are their females. Biological knowl- edge is reversing this judgment. show ing us that in strict scientific fact the female Is race type, the male Is va riant of later introduction. We need not try to set up counter-claim-to say that women are humanity and relegate men to the position of a subsidiary sex.
 That time has passed forever. But we can, and should recognize the fact that women are humanity exactly as much as men, and have an equal interest and responsibility in human affairs. Oven those of us who do work. who do earn our own living. do not yet ap- preciate or use the power that comes from independence. We look jealously et one another as if we were still in the liarem
 We think only of our separate family interest instead of our common human interests. We do not even count up our. wages collectively and see what enormous sums they represent when put together and how much more comfortable we could hive than we do now. even on that money.
 We do not mass our forces. and learn. as men have done, to raise our wages by the power of union.
