The Mayors first soul kiss, or rath-

There was no SMACK and rum bust

that the Mayor witnessed. 1t was a
long, drawn-out affair and sweeter
than honey from the honeycomb. So
long, in fact, that the Mayor, who is
nown sthe marrying Justice of the

the crushing embrace in which the
bridegroom held his new wife, brought
the kiss to close by tapping the
young man on the arm.

JOE SCHERF now
ON AERONAUT DUTY
Tony HOhier Gets Letter From
Cape Man in Navy on
Atlantic Coast.

Tony Hohler, well-known salesman
at the Walther furniture store, yester-
day received a letter from First Petty
Officer Joe Scherf, a son of Henry
Scherf, Haarig shoemaker. Young
Scherf formerly was foreman at the
Cape Brewery G. Ice plant and is well
known in the Cape.
He now is located on the U. S. S.
North Carolina, which is doing aero
nautic duty off the Atlantic coast with
Newport, r. l., as headquarters
Scherf completed nine years service
in the navy last winter when he made
a trip to the Cape, the first time that
he had been home since he first left
for the navy.
He was accompanied to the Cape by
Joe Meyers, who, likewise, was a petty
officer in the service and had Just COM
pleted 12-year term Of service in the
navy. While Scherf and Myers were
in the Cape they were entertained by
many of Scherf's friends and when
they departed both declared they in
tended to re-enlist.
Scherf in his letter, however, states
that Myers has decided to go to work
on the Outside" a civilian life is
known in the navy, and Scherf joined
almost Immediately after he left the
Cape. Myers now is situated at
n. Y.
Both Scherf and Myers had about
two and half years service in Chi
nese waters before their return to the
ctates. When Scherf got home, he
caused considerable amusement wheE
he failed to recognize Tony Hohler as
he saw him for the first time at the
train.

FIRST ASBESTOS
TIRE Is IN CAPE
Guaranteed for 1900 Miles and
Won't ROt-Is at Park
Auto Co.

The first asbestos automobile tire
has been received in the Cape and is
on display in the office of the Park
Auto Company on Broadway. The tire
whose important feature is asbestos
in the construction, is made by a COM
pany in which several Cape and Cape
County people are interested.
Barrett Cotner, who is handling the
new tire in the Cape, already has re-
ceived several advance orders for the
Cape, and within a short time he ex-
poets to receive shipment of tires
that will enable him to supply the de-
mand for the asbestos castings.
The fabric of the asbestos tire is
made of a special long-fbered asbestos
instead of cotton. 1t is claimed for
the tire that the asbestos fabric is 100
per cent stronger. 1t will not rot, and
when housed in tire, it is in its nat
ural state, and must be simply worn
out to be destroyed, or weakened. Cot
ton or any fabric grown in the open,
when housed in dead air space. will
decay and rot.
Another feature of the new tire is
that it can be vulcanized and heated
without fear Of injury to the fabric,
and tires may often be rctreaded.
Both plain and non-skid tires are be-
ing turned out and they carry a guar
tee of 1900 miles against defective
materials.
Cape County people own about $780,
900 worth of stocks in the company
that makes the tires, the Perfection
Tire and Rubber Co., of Fort Madison,
Ia, Wabash, Ind, and Toronto. Can
ada.
Among the first to become interest
ed in it were J. NJ. Cotner, of New
Wells; DR.. S. w. Morgan, of the Cape;
r. S. hasten, of Shawneetown; J. G.
Saupe, of the Cape; c. J. Reisenbich-
Ter, and the Park Auto Co., of the
Cape.
1t is said that although the concern
is little more than year old, it is
paying monthly dividends.

On the first day that summer vaca-
lions were ended and school bells took
up their daily jobs again, they called
out an army of school children ap-
proximately as great this year as the
army of voters who will go to the
polls at the election this fall.
According to figures available last
night, the total enrolment in all
schools this year is 1713, making an
increase of 143 over the first day a
year ago.
The figures for the high school were
estimated by Superintendent J. n.
Croker after he had made a count of
the students while in the auditorium.
He estimated the number at 300 and
last night declared he believes the en-
r0llment there will be much higher BY
reason Of the fact that many high
school students were not in the audi
forum at the time he made his emu
mCratlon.
The increase in the high school en-
rollment is the greatest OF all the
schools, and in two school buildings,
Lincoln and Washington, there were
decreases.
The enrolment at parochial schools
in the Cape also is large this year. At

A lack of good material seems to
have been the main reason for the
failure to produce a better eleven at

most regularly had little previous ex-

there was no comparison between the

Yale and lost to Harvard only because
the Crimson kicked three goals from
the field. Had Nirginia's defeats by
Harvard and Yale been the only set
backs with which it had to contend the
season would still have been good;
but on top of those decisive scores it
lost to Vanderbilt and Georgia and
dropped the annual contest with North
Carolina for the first time since 1905.
