ENTERTAINED IN HONOR OF
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Miller enter
,tained a number of their immediate
friends IN Saturday evening at their
home in Atlantic City in honor of
their son, Frank, Jr.'s, seventeenth
birthday anniversary. The interior
decorations were of a patriotic order,
consisting of the Red, White and Blue.
The Atlantic City trio-namely, Mr..
Frank Miller, Sr., Mr.. VIM. Otterson
and Nh. VIM. Hellinger-played Sc
lections on the harmonica, guitar and
mandolin, accompanied by Mr.. Fred
Dougherty, the violinist. Miss Hig-
bee, Of Pleasantville, rendered many
musical hits of the season on the
piano and Miss Ethel McCollum de-
lighted the throng present by singing
several solos. After this refresh
ments were served and the entertain
ment came to a close with the singing
of the "Star-Spangled Banner"
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Miller, Sr., Mr.. Frank Miller,
Jr., Miss Wilhelmina Miller, Miss Eth
ell McCollum, Miss Edna McCollum,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. C.. McCollum. Miss

true and deplorable that the garbage
pail waste of the United States reck-
oned in money comes to about $1,000
900 worth, but it is equally true that
more than that goes up in smoke ev-
cry year."
True to the cause for which she has
been working more than fifty years,
Doctor Shaw more or less gently in
simulated suffrage into her talk when
she took a whack at Asquith, Eng
lands former Premier, who waited for
woman to go into the munitions fac
tory to prove her economic value be-
fore being converted to suffrage.
"For centuries" Doctor Shaw said,
with a touch of righteous indignation,
woman has been engaged in the
bearing, nursing and rearing of chill
dren, and yet this was not counted as
service valuable enough to entitle her
to the vote. To Nj. Asquith the rock
ing of the cradle was not as impor-
tant as the making of shot and shell,
and yet we have hope, for Mr.. AS
quith, the most stubborn of men, has
been converted to suffrage"
The presence of some Grand Army
of the Republic veterans in the audi
ence moved Doctor Shaw to a recital
of the hardships the women encoun-
tered in the Civil War, when she, am
ong them, had to pitch in and do the
farm work while the men were at the
front.
DR.. j. Elmer Saul introduced the
veteran suffragist.

THEN FORTHWITH ENLISTS

Robert Collins, son of Charles ].
Collins, of Somers Point, was gradua-
ted last week with honors from the
Law School of Fordham University,
New York. Bob is a graduate of the
Atlantic City High School, where he
distinguished himself by his fine pitch

along the shore, and which he also
kept up during his university course.
His first step upon graduating was to
offer his services to the aviation corps
and he received orders to report at
Fort Meyer last Monday, June Is, for
examination. His many friends are
rendering him hearty congratulations
upon his success at college and also
upon his pluck in enlisting.

FRECKLES.
Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Remove
Them With the Othine Prescription,

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
removing freckles and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by any druggist under guaran-
tee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-
cations should show a wonderful i'm
provement, some of the lighter free
kles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold one the money-back guarantee.

Nine. LAMBERT, TEACHER of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String Instruments.

Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be we'll tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

Names OF Flowers.

1t is Interesting 20 know how Ger,
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
Instance, Fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon.
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The Camelia was so called for
II missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
Of the flower to France from Japan.
He called 1t the Rose of Japan, but
his friends changed 1t to Camelia.
Magnolias We're named in honor OF
Prof. Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful trees to France
from America and Asia Because they
tremble with the wind Is the meaning
Of Anemones. The Latin word to wash
Is lavare, and Lavender received its
name because the Romans put the
flowers into the water when they
washed, to perfume their hands.

COUNT TUNNELS By MILES
Coal Mines a Constant Source Of
Expense to Owners.

Anthracite coal mines in this cOun-
try have over 1000 miles Of tunnels
Of these, 1000 are in the Schuylkill re-
giOn, which ships about 28 per cent OF
The total anthracite production. In
The Lehigh and Wyoming regions,
which furnish the remaining Y per
cent Of output, there must be over B..
900 miles of tunnels.
These underground roads are a grea,
expense. All the coal that can be re
covered from them Is constantly In
creasing, and this adds greatly to the
cost Of the mines. Water that runs
into these underground passages must
be steadily pumped out to protect ad-
jacent workings, and air must be
forced In to prevent the formation OF
dangerous gases. To protect the sur,
face and make possible the recovery OF
little more coal. large sums Of money
are annually spent for pumping refuse
back into the workings by hydraulic
process.
A further problem of large cost Is
the timbering Of the mines. Penn
sylvania timber has long been stripped
from the hills and yellow pine from
lhe South must be brought In. Mine
tlmbers and lumber cost the operators
$4,000 annually.

NOW A NATION OF 1O2,826, ,3O9
in Population Despite European
War;

The wars are costing the United
States in this decade 100000 In i'm
migrants, vet we are gaining in num-
bers somewhat faster than in the last
decade, or so the census bureau esti-
mate OF population for January l, 1917,
would indicate. Ii Is O2,S26,3O9, or.
including the islands, 1133Oo, $50.
The end Of the year completes two
thirds Of the decade and shows gain
of not quite 100000, observes the
New York World A total Of 100000,
600 or more may be expected jim 1920.
If peace had continued, a gain Of near
ly 20,0000OO would not have been i'm
possible.
To New York the census bureau as
signs for six and twO-thirds years more
than twice the gain the state census
allowed for five years; il Is doubt
less nearer the truth. BY 1920 the en-
pire state should reach II 100000. AT
the present rate Pennsylvania should
Increase 100000 in ten years. Cali
fOrnia 100000, Texas $4,000, and ILL.,
nois $4,000. California has already
about as many people as declared their
independence i'll 1916.
The Emperor Claudlus took census
of 6,945,OO0 ROmanS-men only. That
may have meant in all 20,0OO0OO citi-
zens. Gibbon thought slaves and prov
metals might have made an empire to-
tai Of 120OOO,00O, but it was a gener-
Gus guess. The British. Chinese and
ed States in total numbers; none
equals it in the number of educated
and energetic whites-unless We count
as single power the vast Germanic
system which reaches from Antwerp
to Bagdad under the rule Of Berlin.

LOOKING for Virtues,

When you have a mind to diyer1
YOUR fancy, consider the good qualities
prtsing yigor OF this man, the modesty
of another, the liberality Of a third
and so on. For there Is nothing so en-.
tertaining as d lively image of the
virtues exhibited In the character OF
those we converse with, occurring as
numtrously as possible. Let this
therefore, be always at hand.-Marcas
Aurelius Antoninus.
