Atlantic City, April 3-Atlantic City
is ready for the greatest Easter Day
in its history. Tonight a great wave
of humanity is pouring It's way from
every entrance point TO the .joard"alh,
and big beach front hotels, over fu!l
for several days past are turning back
the tide to the smaller houses on side
avenues, which will have their full
quota Of patrons long before the last
corners accept quarters in boarding
houses and cottages rather than miss
the big event Of tomorrow.
Resort experts IN figures declare

thousand people will be on hand for
the MONDAY pageant and these figures
will be overtopped if the weather comes

morrow.
The weather is the big topic Of dis
cussion. If the skies are clear and the
breezes gentle, the flmy frocks brought
here in trunks for days past will be

Newport. r. l., April 3.-The cold
weather OF the present week has made
IL feel much more like the middle OF
January than spring here, and there
has not been so much heard about the
opening Of the summer homes. How
ever. the cold snap cannot last long, and
work that has been started about the
summer estates has not stopped in any
degree, except that some Of the gar
deners who were thinking of taking
Gown the wooden barbados about their
shrubbery and plants have postponed
their action for a week or so. or until
the weather warns up little.
Despite the cold snap the summer
section of the city is taking on a
springy look. Painters, carpenters and
other mechanics continue TO troop down
bellevue Avenue each morning, and the
work of renovation is going on merri-
~ in several of the villas and smaller
cottages.
Mrs. Samuel Powell, who spends her
winters in Providence, has ordered her

as regards the failure of the Xcppr-

Il good ease.
The Ieppeiins can operate with
advantage only under favorable
weather conditions. 1t Is calculated
that IL one of them left CuNhaven at
noon she could reach London by .
O'Clock AT night drop her bombs about
the city for an hour and make CuX-
haven on the return voyage at .
o'clock the next morning, hut to do
ms well the airship would have TO
travel at the maximum speed of fifty
miles an hour. BUT such speed for
the whole expedition seems to be
impracticable. The Ieppelins that
raded the east coast of England on
Tuesday, January 10, were moving AT
half speed, and If they came fronl
CuXhaven they must have taken
twenty-four hours for the round trip,
II is estimated. Should the weather
change from fair to stormy during
such an invasion the Zeppellns might
not get back at all.

Inns have room for enough explosives

What a Policeman Should Know.

With the admirable purpose of in
teresting the members of the police
force lin the happenings of the de-
partment," the city has undertaken
the publication of a monthly bulletin.
in which professional problems will
be discussed by the men themselves
and to which each policeman is In
vited To contribute whatever thoughts
he may harbor on the duty he per-
forms and the regulations that guide
him. 1t would he profitable thing
for police and those to whom they
officially refer as "citizens" If this
periodical were to be read by the
public generally, for even its first
number reveals the too infrequcntly
recognized multiplicity and intricate
ness Of the patrolman's work.
The reader of this pamphlet learns
for example. that in snow removal
days the individual policeman, be-
sides notifying the members of the
emergency cleaning brigade that they
are wanted, Is expected to devise and
put into execution traffic rules to IA
cllitate the passage of snow carts to
dumping spots, to make possible four
teen trips between Fifth avenue and
the river for each conveyance, in an
eight hour day, instead of ten, which
has constituted n normal days work.
Having attended to this detail, the
policeman Is to hurry up hOuSeholderS
ON his post in clearing their walks,
and then he Is to prescribe traffic
rules at manholes into which snow
I Is dumped, to give the street cleaners
free passage and guard the general
/ public from accidents
ON days when there is no snow to
remove, II the policemen, who, nc
cordng to the BWictn, las rule
suffer from absence of occupation"

"the marks on their cars which single
them out, in short time they would
be able to call the name of every car
passing. The average chauffeur can
unhestatingly do this" and when
patrolmen acquire similar familiarity
with motors, escaping criminals will
find exchange of license tags less
haffling than ii now IL.

When the patrolman goes to court
with prisoner he must give testi-
mony. and he SHOULD. first of all,
possess working knowledge of what

expected TO paint a verbal picture so that
the court can imagine that 1t heard or

As soon as the patrolman achieves
this not nconsiderable success he
may give little time to the city or
dlnnnces. the intent of which he IS
supposed to understand, although on
no other human being * such u burden
laid. In intervals of rest in this plogs-
ing occupation the patrolman must. Of
