THE TALK OF THE CITY.
Pleasantville City and Mainland Holt
day-P. A. & M. A. Field Day
Wednesday, September 9Th.

The committee in charge of this big affair
are more than pleased with the prospects of
an exceptionally large attendance and there
is little doubt but that the crowd Will be even
larger than last year when 400 attended.
Nearly every business place in the City has
made arrangements to close at noon, and as
one business man states, why shouldn't ev-
cry one close? We have worked hard all
summer and with little opportunity for recre-
alton, and 1t Is a poor business that cannot
suspend business for a half day and evening
to take advantage of a days outing, such as
was enjoyed last year and which promises to
be more interesting this year" The Pleas
~antville Brass Band will furnish music for
the occasion. In addition to the concert CIV
en- by the band last Monday evening on Main
street, they will also give another concert
Monday or Tuesday evening. Arrangements
have been completed for a ball game to be
called at $50 P. NJ. on the Park Grounds at
Lenape Park between the Pleasantville Silk
Stockings and the strong Melrose Athletic
Team of Atlantic City. who have been playing
a very strong game for the past month. This
game should prove very interesting and no
extra charge is made for this special feature.
The Ham Tree, the great hit of last year, will
be creased and ready for a contest open to
anyone who desires to rescue the ham. Go
to it, boys. If you get it without sli~ning
you will be the first one. Those present last
year will recall that efforts were made for
nearly two hours to secure the ham, which
was finally reached only by a foul. A live
chicken race for men, also for women, girls
and boys. We wonder who will be the cham
pion chicken chaser? The obstacle races will
also prove to be features. And along with
the many other open events, especially for
the children, it is safe to say that everyone
will be well satisfied. A dance will be held
in the pavilion at night for the grown people.
Don't forget this outing is to be run at
cost. The SOC adult ticket entities you to
railroad fare and boat transportation also
the soc children's ticket covers the above ex-
pense. The 25c tickets are to be used for
those using automobiles or other conveyances
to reach the park.
Special trains will leave Pleasantville at
8 A. M. and l P. NJ, returning will leave
Mays Landing at 7 P. NJ. and II O'Clock mid
night. 1t is hoped to make arrangements
with the railroad company so that all trains
in each direction will stop at the upper sta
tion on signal or notice to conductor. Take
the railroad stub of your ticket to the w. ].
& S. R. R.. station at Pleasantville and have
same exchanged for a regular return ticket
good on special trains or any other trains on
day of picnic. Buy your tickets early, be-
fore they are all sold.

WHAT CAUSES INSANITY

The stress and strain, keener
competition and congested housing
conditions are greater factors in the
Increase OF insanity than are the vice
and dissipation Of city life. accord
ing to a report by DR.. Joseph A. Hill
on "The Insane in Institutions" just
issued by the federal bureau.
In the six years from 1904 to 1910
covered by the report, there was an
increase OF 25 per cent in the number
OF insane persons reported. In the
same period the total population I'm
creased only IL per cent.
While the number of insane persons
is increasing. there is an increase In
the methods OF caring for these un-
fortunates. on this subject the re-
port says:
AT the same time, there has been
a great Improvement in the agencies
for discovering cases OF insanity and
bringing them under institutional
care. These institutions for the in
sane are becoming more generally ac-
cessible, not only by the increase in
the. number of such institutions. but
also by the Improvements in the
means OF transportation and commun-
ication."

LONDON, Feb. s.-It was officially

IDENTIFYING THE DEAD.

When a German soldier falls in
battle, he is identified by a little met
al disc which he carries. This disk
bears a number. and this number Is
telegraphed to Berlin. The soldiers
name Is determined. This system Is
as effective as everything else con-
nected with the German army. The
British use an aluminium disc that
contains. besides marks OF identified
tion, the soldiers church affiliatlon.
The Japanese system is similar. each
soldier wearing three discs, one
around his neck, another on his belt
and the third in his boot. The Rus
slams wear a numbered badge which
at the same time, serves as a charm
being formally blessed by the priests.
The United States army uses a cloth
tab woven into the shoulder strap OF
the tunic. The French use identifi-
cation cards stitched inside the tunic.
The French once made use OF metal
Identification badges, but these prov
ed an irersistable attraction to the
savages whom the French faced In
Africa, so the cards were substituted.
Austria still uses badge OF gun met
al,ins theefOTm OF a locket with parch-
ment leaves inside. OF the nations
at war. Turkey alone has no identi-
fication badges for her soldiers. Ed
hem Pasha once explained this omis-
sion as follows: "A dead man is OF
no use to the sultan; why, therefore,
trouble with him?"
