HOSPITAL MANAGERS TO BE
APPOINTED NEXT MONTH.
To Be Five in Number and to Serve
Five Years Each.

Resolutions calling for the appoint
ment of a board of managers for the
new County Tubercular Hospital,
which is now in process of construc-
ton at Mortified and which will be
completed by the end of next month,
were passed by the Board of Free
holders at its meeting on Wednesday.
The actual appointment of the board
of managers was postponed until the
September meeting.
At the suggestion of County Solic-
itor Higbee, Chairman Alfred B.
Smith, of the Asylum Committee, in
troduced the resolution, which pro-
vides for the appointment of five cit
liens of the county, two of whom
must be physicians, to act as the
board of managers. This board will
serve without salary, but will have
the complete control of the hospital
plant and the care of the patients.
"The appointment of this board of
managers" said Judge Higbee, "is a
very important matter. | think that
the best plan would be to defer action
until the next meeting in order to
give the Board plenty of time to
consider applicants for the position.
lIeSe Inel Will HOlu Office IOf d peTlOu
of five years, n being elected every
year. l think that next month you
should go into executive session and
talk this question over among your
selves frankly, for you can easily see
what power you will place in their
hands,"
The suggestion of Judge Higbee
was at once accepted.
The Board approved the plans and
specifications for the construction Of
a water plant at the new tubercular
hospital and bids will be received at
the next meeting and the contract
awarded. According to the plans of
S. Hudson Vaughn, the water will be
secured from an artesian we'll $50
feet deep, which will supply a hun
dred gallons a minute. The cost of
the plant will be about $4,000.

FEWER WHITE WAISTS SEEN
Pale Tlnts More and More In Evidence
as the Warm Weather Makes
Its Presence Felt.

The vogue of the all-white waists
is going out, for the new blouses are
in pale tints, yellow predominating.
White crepe de chine and the soft cot
ton crepe are first in favor as mate
rails.
Another notable feature of these
early blouses is the outside" finish,
most of the blouses being made so
as to come down outside the skirt,
sometimes forming a little buttoned
vest, and sometimes merely ending in
sashlike loops or fastening snugly with
a single buckle covered with the mate
rial.
They are all far more elaborate
than in former seasons, but the frill,
both single and double, has been set
aside. Its death knell was sounded
by the introduction of the winter suits
buttoning close up to the throat, and
now with summe the little waistcoat
is SO popular that the frill has been
definitely set aside.
With it has gone the deep sailor
collar, the new blouses all showing
either a high flaring collar or a fiat,
narrow one of soft mat0ial, and in
some instances the necx is finished
simply with a band of the material,
with frill or net inside to lend a soft
finish close to the skin.

SMART CLOTHES FOR CAMP
Designers Have Given Us Costumes
Eminently Suitable for Pleasures
of "the WiIds."

Though many people believe that
to wear in the wilds, there is no rea-
son why any woman should make a
fright of herself just because she is
roughing it 400 miles from civilization.
Some of the tailored camp costumes
shown in the shops are as smart as
formal street attire, though they allow
for more picturesqueness of detail
than would be in good taste on the
avenue If the camp is not pitched
too far north, select a coat and skirt
of brown khaki with tan leather belt
and low-waisted coat having snappy
patch pockets. For a colder latitude a
similar suit of brown corduroy will be
comfortable and attractive also.
Under the coat will be worn a man.
nish shirt of thin flannel or tub silk;
pussy-willow shifting in narrow-striped
patterns or in white is a favorite for
such outing blouses, which in all cases
have collars that may be thrown open
and decorated with the loosely knot
ted scarf or kerchief affected by anna
teur campers. Petticoats should be dis
pensed with and replaced with bloom
ers of some light but sturdy material
like pongee or mohair. Khakikool,
which is all-silk in weave and has
strength combined with lightness, is
the ideal fabric for such boomers. The
smart buttoned boot of town must be
replaced by stout-soled tramping foot
wear. Such boots are laced and
should be supplemented by leather put
tees when a long hike through 5ram-
bles and over rocks is in prospect.
The camping hat is preferably of
felt, with a supple brim that can be
dragged over the eyes to protect from
the sun and over the neck to protect
from trickling raindrops. A woman
who detests mosquitoes and the deadly
nudge of Adirondack camps is taking
along one of the big mantilla wells
which may be thrown over the head
and hat, falling below the shoulders all
around. This smart adjunct of town
she intends to make use of in camp
and undoubtedly the big square veil
will serve to keep the insects at safe
distance from her complexion, as we'll
as adding something of chic to her
smart camping costume.

P"LEASANTVILLE TAKES

SALESMAN, in top notch form Wednes-
day practically held the heavy Ocean
City batters at. his mercy in a fast
game on the Ocean City grounds, the
result being 5 to 3 in Pleasantville's
favor.
With thirteen strike outs to his
credit and but six hits allowed, these
mostly in the sixth inning, Adams
pitched one of his most effective
games and his teammates supported
him with great activity both in field
ing and at bat, registering nine hits off
the two Ocean City pitchers. When
they started to find Witmeyer's curves
in the sixth and seventh innings, Yates
was substituted to good effect bv
Ocean City.
living, Calhoun and Sheehan shared
as usual in Ocean City's good batting
as shown by the box score and double
plays by the Ocean City team at sew
eral stages of the game kept the score
down considerably. The double plays
were the results of attempts to bunt
by the Pleasantville batsmen.
With two men on bases, Brownie
Sanders practically placed the game
on ice in the seventh inning, often
termed Pleasantville's lucky inning, by
walloping a scorching two Dagger
down third base line.
Peterson had a great day at bat,
getting a perfect record, with two hits
and being twice "beaned" bv the pitch
er. Ike Nelson, Adams and R. Sand
ers each contributed two bingles to
the hit column.
Pleasantville has now credit for two
games of the series with Ocean City,
the latter having one game.

CAREFUL DRYING AFTER BATH
Matter That ls of Much Importance,
Especially When Baby's Welfare
10 In Question.

It Is very necessary after bathing
to see hat the flesh is perfectly dry,
otherwise the clothing will feel damp
and uncomfortable and there Is dan
ger of chill.
A brisk rub with a towel is invig-
Grating, but when the skin is sensi-
tive, as in the case of a baby, the
mother must be careful not to chafe
by too rough a towel or too hard an
application. A gentle patting with a
Turkish towel will dry thoroughly, or
with a damask towel, IL the latter is
of a good absorbent quality. Never
attempt to dry with a new towel,
which has never been previously laun-
dered, as the glossy dressing on the
unwashed material makes 1t more or
less no~nabsorbent.
Never apply powder until the skin
is thoroughly dry, and then powder
is usually unnecessary. A child pow
dered in the creases where some
moisture still turks after bathing is
apt to chafe, because the powder will
cake.
In cold weather always warm the
undergarments before putting them
on after the bath, and never put on
clothing still hot from ironing. Gar
ments should always be allowed to air
for several hours, at least after they
come up from the wash lady's' hands,
before they are put on by anyone.

Memory.

Memory is that faculty of the mind
which enables us to know that we
have forgotten something. Without
memory there would be no history;
hence no fiction.
Memory furnishes the only back
ground for liars that is needed. 1t
enables many people to labor under the
continuous illusion that there is a past,
when in reality there is nothing but a
present.
Without memory there would be no
worry. because worry is fear for the
future. based on recollection of what
has happened-usually to someone else.
Memory enables lis to store our minds
with useful f~acts-until they are prov
ed to be wrong by other useful facts
which in turn take their place.-Life.
