Farmers Prosperity
Dampens Big Sea Day
Wagons Ousted by Autos at
Annual Picnic Of Jerseys
Country Folk

MANASoUAN, n. J., Aug. 1l.-Big
Sea Day was celebrated by New Jersey
farmers and their families here to-day,
but il was not like the Big Sea days
of years gone by. There was time
when the rural folk Of Monmouth, Mid
5lasev Ocean and Mercer counties
drove down the sunny pixies in their
rresking farm wagons for their annual
,,icric and Jubilee on the beach. Then
Hank would don his oldest pair Of over
oIIs and Mary Jane her calico sllp-on
snd into the surf they would trolc
band-in-hand for their yearly salt
water swim.
They came in just as great numbers
to-day-more. in fact, than ever before
but they came honking down 20 the
beach IN Aivvers and cars Of even more
pretentous size until speed laws were
sorely strained, if not broken. And
swept along with the old farm wagon
into the realm Of things-as-they-used-
to-be were the overalls and calico
frockA This year Hank could have put
many a professional lifesaver TO shame
with his trim, belted, tight-ttting
swimming suit, and as for Mary Jane,
had not every available policeman been
needed for traffic duty 70 keep the au-
tomobiles in their places, they might
have been called upon to WELD their
powers of censorship on her bathing
costume. The most daring Of Jersey
beach sirens might have taken lessons
in brevity from Mary Jane.
About the only persons who had not
changed were the takers. Their elo-
quence was still capable Of making
Hanks pa pay 81 for a l5-cent horse
whip.

Catholics Want
S5,OOO,OOO Navy
And Army Fund
Will Organize Religious
and Social Work
in Camps

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA fund OF
100000 rather than sl,00O,OOo as
originally expected, will be needed to
finance the religious and social work
Of the Roman Catholic Church in con-
nection with the army and navy. This
was announced by the Rev Father John
J. Burke, New York, editor OF the
Catholic World in the keynote ad-
dress to-day at the meeting Of the
National Catholic War Defence Coun-
Gil at the Catholic University OF
America.
"a fund Of 100000 is utterly in
adequate" he said, land its announce
ment was simply born Of the fear that
this was all that we could raise, but we
must meet the situation, no matter what
IL costs"
Before the Council adjourns to-mor-
row it is expected a permanent or
ranization will be effected to handle
all matters pertaining to the Catholic
Church and the war.
Father Burke declared that while the
national government had been, just in
apportioning the number Of chaplains
10 the Catholic Church, there was no
Uav Of controlling the distribution OF
the cbaplains, with the result that IN
some sections of the army where the
number of Catholic soldiers was large
the number Of chaplalns was small, ana
the Catholic churches located near inc
soldiers small and poorly equipped,
"In the Southern states the CaInolc
membership is small he said. hou,
sands of Catholic soldiers are enlisted
from Northern cities and taken into the
Southern cantonments, with the result
.bere is Inadequate care from chaplalns
AID from the priests and churches IN
the neighborhood. ,,,-
@To care for 10000 Catholic soldiers
We need at least ten masses ana nve
priests. Such a cantonment needs not
ono recreation hall, but several, where
the men NAV be cared for socially ana
where mass may be sald'
He summarized the needs as; :,
first Building Of recreation nails
including chapels, at or near all can
tcnments.
Second-Full equipment. -,
Third MANY extra chanlains; siml-
lar supply for troops going abroad,
local committees TO guide and INFORM
soIdiere and sailors while IN towns
travelling from one place TO another;
civic activities to keep clean towns near near
camps and environments; complete ss Sar
tis+fcs Of enlisted men, which IN ltsell
viii cost $4,000; full supply of prayer
hooks and other religious reading; cap
able journalists to inform 6o OF, the re re-
ligious and secular press OF the acIl''-
TICS and needs Of the service.
Father Burke urged the women OF
the church to warn young girls OF the
special danger Of promiscuous assocla-
tion with soldiers.
an every company of soldiers, as IN
every company Of men Of other classes
there are unprincipled men, as well as
men Of the highest principles. he SAID
The danger is the glamour Of the uni

Manhattan Building
Slump Not Due to War
Decrease of 96 Per Cent IN
July Traceable to
Zoning Law

In July, 1915, plans were FLED for
new buildings in Manhattan to cost
s49,2O5,2 200. Last month the total esti-
mated cost of new structRes for the
borough was only S1,s94,O95. There
were sos buildings planned IN july
1916, and 3l3 last month.
This decrease of about 80 per cent
in the July building operations com
pared with the figures for the CORE
sponding month in 1916 is not trace
able to war conditions. A ou4d!ng
situation VASTLY different from the
present one prevailed in July last year
II was in that month that the new
coming law, regulating the height ana
occupancy Of buildings. went into ell
feet. To evade the restrictions I'M
posed hund.eds Of buildings that had
very little chance Of being constructed
were planned.
A fairly accurate idea Of how the
war has affected local building opera
tions NAV be had by comparing the
estimated cost Of the buildings pro-
jected last month with that for July
1915. The comparison Isl:
July, 1917 .................. Slrh5t'VJ0

the question was for preachers

them answer the question. Now
an answer comes from preach.
.er IL. s. GARRETT and I think it
falls far short of the true an
swer. In order to show the
connection and The symbols or
figures used and what they mean
or represent, it is necessary to
80 to the II oh. of Revelations;
where John saw a great WONDER
in heaven; "a woman clothed
with the sun, and The moon an.
der her feet. and upon her head
q crown of twelve stars. Aud
she being with child cried
travailing in birth, and painea to
be delivered"
And there appeared another
wonder in heaven; and behold a
great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven
crowns upon his heads. And
his tail drew the third part OF
the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth: end the
dragon stood before the woman
which was ready to lie delivered,
Tor to devour her child as soon
as it was borp. And she
brought forth man child, who
was to rule al! nations with a rod
of iron: and her child was caught
up unto God, and unto his
throne" We might stop here
and ask, who was this woman:
Some say she was Mary the
motner of Jesus. If that is the
correct answer; then Herod
would be the Dragon, (for Herod
sought the young chi!d's life
The dragon had seven heads
Herod had only one; TIE Drag
on had seven crowns, Herod hao
only one; the Dragon had ter
horns, Herod did not have any.
Thus anyone can see that this
answer Is not correct. Withou
giving the answers that some
others give, I will proceed It
give the Only correct answer tt
this question; Who is this wo
man with a crown of twelve
stars upon her head, and wa!
clothed With the sun and tn
moon was under her feet'
She was the church, the brid
the Lambs wife. Being clotnet
with the sun; represented tn
church clothed with the light o
the gospel and the moon wa
under her feet" but that >di'
not signify that she was tramp
ding the moon under her feet, !
only shows that she was above Ii
The moon here represents tn
world; and as all the light tn
smoou has Is o borrowed ligh
from the sun all the light tn
world has, is from the church.
Who is this dragon with seve
heads9 I have shown that
could not be king Herod, VIII
is he then!
Answer: Re is Pagan Rome
The seven heads represents th
seven different forms of govern
ment by which Rome had Zee
governed. God gives the mea'
,inp of head in prophetic symbol
