Along the Shore

1t is reported that last week the
Marconi wireless plant at Shark River
picked up" a message from the Cavite
naval base, on the Philippine Islands,
adjoining the city ofManila, distance
Of 10000 miles. But Tuckerton comes
to the front with longer reach than
that, the report being that several
times this fall and winter, messages
have been grasped out OF the air that
were sent from New Zealand, just about
the antipodes from US.
The Ocean county Medical Advisory
Board, the appeal board from the
draft physicians, under the new draft
regulations, met and organized last
week as follows: V. M. Disbrow,
Lakewood, and Stewart Lewis, Lake
hurs9, physicians; c. L. Lindley and
G w. Lawrence, Lakewood, surgeons;
1. H. Hance, Lakewood, throat and
nose; R. R. Jones, Toms River, ear and
eye; A. s. Bailey; lakewood, teeth. I
The government last week took the
Lakewood hotel for use as hospital
for conyalescent soldiers. The build
ing is brick structure containing 400
rooms, has a park of twelve acres and
its own power plant.
The people at the state game farm
at Forked River are doing their part in
the great war. Robert Buntain, a
nephew to Headkeeper Duncan Dunn.
is in France with the 10th Irish Can
adams. He had been in this country
twelve years and at the game farm
four years, when he enlisted. There
was father, six sons and a daughter
and son-in-law in this Scotch family.
Three of the boys came to Forked Riv
er, and the other two are in It's present
draft, coming to Toms Rive on Mon
day to make out their questionaires.
The father is member of the Home
Guard, and is doing guard duty at
camp of German prisoners of war.
The three sons left in Scotland and
the son-in-law are all in the trenches
in Flanders, one of them having been
there over three years. William Barnes,
a brother-in-law to Lodgekeeper Scott,
at the State Game farm, is also in
France, having gone over in the 4Sth
Canadian Highlanders; Charles Scott,
the Lodgekeeper's brother, is in France
with the Canadian Engineers. This
makes three from the farm now in
France. Thomas Ray, also from the
farm, is in A Co, 3O5th Reg, National
Army. Camp Upton, Yaphank, Long
Island. He came down Sunday to see
his friends at the game farm for the
Christmas holidays.

Red Cross Campaign

Burlington county made a liberal
response to the campaign for new
members of the Red Cross. The move
ment began on December 18th and
was supposed to close on Christmas
day, but the time was extended for a
few days.
The county chairman, Senator Har-
old B. Wells, and the campaign direc-
tor, William A. Slaughter, did excel
lent work in organizing the drive in
the county. A goal Of 5000 new mem
bers was set and it was hoped that by
strenuous efforts this number might
be reached. Fortunately it was ex-
ceeded, which was quite encouraging.
Below is list of the new members
obtained in the county since Deem
Der 18th. 1t totals 1902.
Moorestown 939, Crosswichs so, Col
umbus 347, Pemberton 100, Mount
Holly 1875, Medford 1859, Marlton
$50, Indian Mills As, Vincentown 5,
Wrightstown 60, Burlington 1,45O,
Beverly 400, Bordentown $50, Roebling
1,O44, Riverside 1854, Riverton sill,
Palmyra 270, Florence 343.
Among the remarkable showings
made was that every employee OF the
Royle & Pilkington Co., of Mount
Holly, and the Keystone Watch Case
Co, of Riverside, have become men,
bers.
Some of the rural districts made ex-
celIent campaigns among their scat
tered population. Marlton, Medford
and Columbus are among these. 1t is
probable that new branch now will
be established at Marlton.
Mount Holly increased from about
625 to over 1900; Roebling made the
big stride from 154 to LOLA; Moores
town trebled its membership; Borden
town added $50 to its former number
of 1876, and other notable increases
were made.
DR.. H. E. Longsdorf, chairman of
the Mount Holly branch, is elated at
the showing made in his district, and
is expressing his praise to the workers
here who assisted in the campaign.

Ito other camps of thousands of men
About 5000 men from the camp left
on Saturday on New Years vaca-
ton. They must report back to-
morrow.
| Another canard has been refuted at
Camp Dix by the announcement at
Division Headquarters Saturday that
only five cases of pneumonia are I'M
der treatment and that only one death
has occurred from this ailment. This
frank statement was made because of
the reports that an epidemic was
sweeping over the camp as the result
of the long march the men had to the
rifle range during the recent cold
snap. Picturesque descriptions Of men
suddenly stricken with pneumonia
were spread from mouth to mouth and
the totals reached greater proportions
with each telling.
Committees from the various
boards of health adjacent to Camp
Dix plan to appear before the Board
of Freeholders in the near future and
present their plan for erecting an
isolation hospital at New Lisbon. The
matter was taken up with the Free
holders committee and all appeared
favorable to the plan. 1t is expected
that some definite action will be taken
at once.
With the important military road
from Georgetown to Camp Dix prac-
tically ready for traffic, New Jersey
has completed it's first experiment as
a business contractor carrying on its
own construction work. The net re-
suits are saving of approximately
twenty-five per cent. over the esti-
mated cost of the same work by con-
tract and proof of the practicability
of employing the inmates of State cor
rectional institutions on State work.

WriphtStoWn

Major General Hugh L. Scott was
appointed commander of Camp Dix,
last week, and takes charge to-day.
He succeeded Brigadier General j. S.
Mallory who went to Fort Greene,
Charlotte, N. c., to take command of
regular army brigade being formed
there. Brigadier General John E..
Mcmahon, who has been in command
of the 18TH Field Artillery Brigade,
composed Of negro regiments, also re-
linquished his command last week and
left for post in the South. 1t is un-
derstood that he has been promoted to
the rank of major general and will
command one of the newer divisions
now mobilizing.
Assemblyman Emmor Roberts OF
the Burlington County Y. M. G. A.
Committee, has assumed the import
ant task of booking various engage
ments of evening programs by Bur
lington county talent for the various
Y. M. C. A. huts at Camp Dix. Mr..
Roberts will be glad to learn of that
farce or drama or minstrel show or
musicale program or any pleasing en-
tertainment which you are planning
to give some time this winter. A let
ter should be addressed to Moores-
town.
There are now about 10000 soldiers
in the camp. Some of them are not
yet fully equipped with winter cloth
ing.
With the gradual completion of the
work at the camp and the return of
the workmen to their homes, Wrights-
town is settling down to business, for
the days of the big boom are gone,
and now storekeepers and other mer-
chants know what to expect, and what
their future business is liable to aver
age. To many it has been a great
disappointment. They came here
with the idea of making million in a
night and retiring to live a life OF
ease. But they soon found that mat
tiers were quite different and they had
hard uphill fight if they wished to
remain. The military police kept a
tight rein on the town and the local
branch of the State Board of Health
has closely watched all places, with
the result that merchants had to toe
the mark or get out of business. Quite
a few chose the latter plan, and those
that remain are living up to all the
regulations set down by the War De
partment or State officials.
So many Camp Dix men are anx
ious to try for commissions in the Off
GERS training school opening here las
week that the examining board wa'
unable to complete candidates ex
animation on Friday as planned ant
probably will not finish its lists unit
Tuesday. Out of approximately 15'
"top-notchers" recommended onl,

The veil, long loved of women, some
times undergoes a short period of re-
tirement, but is never wholly forgot
ten or neglected. Except for small
face wells and much abbreviated mo-
tor wells, the season just passing has
not occupied itself with this particu-
lar prerogative of womankind. Even
so the small-face veil, in considerable
variety, is a fact of every well-regu-
lated wardrobe. It is often inconspicu-
GUS to the point of being nearly invis-
ible. The plain, open-mesh varieties
of finest threads almost reach the van
ishing point. But signs and tokens
are pointing to the return of wells, and
suddenly they have appeared IN all
four at once.
Some rather startling things happen
to the face when wells of fine mesh
that are hardly discernibls indulge In
one or two bold figures in applique
or embroidery. These figures can be
seen long before the veil itself comes
into view and they play curious tricks
on the eyes that follow them. Except
for the plain mesh face veil they are
the most popular of the wells of today.
An example of this bit of feminine
waywardness appears in the picture,
showing a next-to-invisible veil with
two large and aggressive clover leaves
on it. One of them obliterates about
half of the mouth and the other threat

Sleeping garments are shown in
such a variety of designs this season
that every lover of fine lingerie may
choose among night dresses, pajamas,
pantalettes with mandarin coats and
combinations that are neither night
gowns nor pajamas but a little of
both. The two-piece garments are
mostly made of crepe-de-chine or wash
satin, but night gowns remain fairly
faithful to fine cOttons. Whether of
cotton or silk they are lace trimmed
or embellished with fine embr0ideries.
Flesh and pink are the favorite colors
for silk sleeping garments with en-
broidery in the same color and laces
in white. Occasionally white satin
mandarin coats are bordered with a
light color in satin, to be worn with
pantalettes to match. In the most
elaborate sets the coats are embroid-
cred in gay floral patterns in several
light colors.
Among the prettiest and most desir-
able Of new night gowns there are
some specimens that are entirely home
made. They are of crepe-de-chine or
satin with Jokes or trimming OF home

ems an eye. Perhaps they are intend
ed to make us look twice at a pretty
face.
A becoming veil with the same sort
of mesh, has q very few widely scat
tered and wildly black dots on it, that
are as sparkling as the black patches
Of colonial days. These wells are
worn with small hats or turbans. An
other new design has small wavy lines
Of embroidery mingling about all. over
the mesh. This one is less becoming
than the dotted or plain patterns, but
leads us to believe that women are
about to revive the veil and go to any
length with it. Wells that cover the
hat and reach to the shoulder have al
ready begun lowering over small hats.
Wells of chiffon wound about street
hats are extended into searfs that en-
circle the throat and hang in a long
end over the shoulder.

All sorts of eccentricities and nov-
elites appear in the designs presented
in new spring blouses. In order to
meet that always Unsuitable demand
for something new, not a thing that
could be done to blouses has been
left undone-except to lower their
prices. These are high, when the
more intricate models are considered.
They involve a lot of hand work, so
there Is a reason
Many women will welcome the high
necked, Observation-Disclosures blouse
which appears among the ~handsomest
lingerie models. Very fine wolfe,
trimmed with narrow, fine valen-
ciennes lace and small, handsome pearl
buttons, are old favorites worked out
in new ways. An extended front
panel is featured In these fine cotton
blouses as well as those of crepe /;
this panel reaching several inches be-
low the waistline, while the rest of
the blouse terminates there in a mar
row belt. One OF the wolfe models
has a panel with row after row of
frills made of narrow lace, across 1t.
Its long sleeves flare at the wrist and
are finished with many rows Of mar
row frills made of the lace.
Crepe .georgette appears, somewhat
less sheer than it has been, in the best

and further adorned with silk en-
broidery in self color. A pale tan

Needlework, in which long stitches
Of silk floss, and beads, in rich COM
binations of color are very effectively
used on blouses of dark colored crepe.
Sleeves are very long, but the next ex-
cursion of the style reporter into the.
realm Of blouses may discover shorter
ones, there will be no telling what will
be found then. Out of the mass of,
new material certain styles will crys-
talize as spring draws nea She who
chooses fine cottons with lingerie laces
and georgettes, In the simpler models,
may select either high-necked, fas-
tened-in-the-back blouses or those that
fasten in the front and leave the throat
uncovered, she cannot go wrong in
either case.

made crochet. S5Sail medallions, much
like those that are familiar to us In
the Irish crochet laces, are made Of
colored silk floss, matching the crepe
or satin to be used in the night dress
in color. The medallions are set In
about the neck and along the edge Of
the short sleeves, which are cut in n
with the body of the garment. A mar
row beading and edge of crochet fin
ishes the neck and baby ribbon thread
ed through the beading, provides the
means of adjusting the gown to the
shoulder.
In the night gown pictured, Of flesh
pink satin, the crocheted yoke in the
same color has bands and figures in
pale blue worked into the pattern. IL
longer sleeves are wanted, elbow
length ruff1es of satin or plating of
