A r I to Avalon

Quite q number of people from Wild
wood went to Avalon yesterday to at
tend the Cape May County Sunday
school Convention. They had a de-
lightful day for the journey, and some
went by boat from Anglesea to Stone
Harbor. One of the interesting speak
ers was Julian Zelchenko from the anti
saloon league at Newark. He is q
Russian. He talked about conditions
in Russia and said Trotsky and Lee
nine were traitors, but said the Russian
people as q whole were in sympathy
with the cause OF the Allies and the
principles for which they were fighting.
Mr.. Zelchenko will be in Wildwood on
Sunday, September 22d, and speak in
the evening at the First NJ. E. church.
In the evening, Lady Anne Azgapeti-
an, who recently returned from two
years. active service on the Russo-Turk-
ish front, was a speaker. She told OF
the wonderful work of the American
Red Cross which she witnessed In Rus
STA, Persia and Armenia.

Red Cross Notes

The Wildw wood Branch of American
Red Cross held their semi-monthly
meeting on Wednesday evening of this
week. Owing to the lack of lights In
the new work room, it was held in the
Caldwell jewelry store. The regular
order Of meeting was followed. The
wooden committee reported hat during
August and September, visitors and
residents had turned in nearly 400 pair
of socks. The Stone Harbor branch
had kindly knitted 100 pair on their
machine. The monthly output of
sweaters is finished and will probably
be shipped to headquarters this week.
o. H. Holloway was appointed to rep
resent the Colored Auxiliary on the
Executive Board. A knitting machine,
such as the one used in Stone Harbor
was ordered for Wildwood, and when
1t is received much hard labor and
time will be saved.
The new location is in the Dorrell
building, nearly opposite the Marine
National Bank. To r. H. Coney is
due many thanks for moving the ma
terials from the high school to the new
room free.
Now comes the demand on the peo-
Pile. The Red Cross has a large amount
of sewing to be done. 1t needs seam
stresses and sewing machines. Are
you going away this winter? Don't
store your sewing machine, but, do
nate it to the Red Cross. They'll give
1t the best Of care, and you'll be happy
in the thought that you are doing one
more thing towards your share in the
great struggle. Then stop in at least
one afternoon a week, and do a little
sewing. You'll meet the best people
in the town, will receive a cheerful
welcome, and also help some poor soul
who is feeling the war much more than
any of us.

Yom D Celebrations

The congregation of the Wildwood
Beth.Juda Temple of Worship held
their religious services and celebrations
in commemoration of Yom Kippur or
The Day of Atonement at Hunts Ave-
nue. theatre on Sunday and Monday
of this week.
Owing to the large congregation and
the presence of about one hundred
s'Boys In the Service" stationed at
Cape May, permission was secured
from Mr.. Hunt to use the theatre, as
the Hotel Strand proved to be too small
to accommodate those taking part.
Residents of Wildwood and Cape
May loaned and hired their autos to
transport the boys from Cape May
here.
The Ladies' Auxiliary Council OF
Jewish Women made extensive ar
rangements to care for the visitors. A
sumptuous dinner was prepared for
them at the Hotel Strand on Sunday
evening, and many spent the night
among their friends and relatives in
Wildwood, while others stayed at the
hotel.
The ladies desire to express their
thanks and appreciation to those who
donated or hired their cars for the oc-
casion, as well as to Mr.. Hunt who
donated the use of the theatre.
At the close of the services on Mon
day evening the boys were invited to
the hotel and enjoyed another elaborate
dinner, after which they were taken
back to Cape May in time to report for
roll call at the end of their leave.
A number of additional donations
were received during the services, as

Rats Enemies Of Birds.

The number of useful insect-eating
birds nesting on the ground or In low
bushes which fall victims to rats is ex-
tremely large and Is one OF the many
kinds Of injury done by these perni-
cious animals which cannot be COM
puted, writes K. w. Nelson In the Ma
,tiOnal Geographic Magazine. Proba-
bly, few frequenters of the countryside
have returned to look into birds nest
to observe Its condition without many
times finding it destroyed and frag-
ments Of egg shells lying about. I'm
questionably large percentage Of
such nests located in the neighborhOOd
of buildings have been raided by rats.
On one OF the small Danish islands
1T has been authenticaiiy recorded that
the progeny OF a single pair Of rats,
which escaped from captivity, In two
years time exterminated a great colo
ny of birds for which the island had
been noted.

columns, each one monoiith and all
possessing an eventful history. Some
are from Ephesus, others from Symr-
ma, others from Constantinople and
more than one even from Jerusalem.
st. Marks is the treasure house Of
Venice, a place Of pride as we'll as
prayer. The work Of beautifying this
old church was carried on for five CEN
turtles, and each generation tried to
eutdo all that had preceded it. The

CARE OF THE HUNTING DOGS

OF Any Canine.

In the matter of grooming, says Out
ing, a cardinal principal Is expressed
In the bench show handlers apothegm
little washing and much brushing"
Soap and water are bad for any dogs
coat. They wash away the natural
oils. making the hair dry and brittle,
and consequently the less washing the
better the coat will be. The dog, how
ever, must be kept clean. A good
stiff brush vigorously and regularly
applied wifi keep a pointer clean as a
whistle. and the bristles act as fine
tonic, stimulating the growth of the
hair and keeping the skin underneath
clean and healthy.
For the settlers long coat the old
English recipe is eggs rubbed in, al
lowed to dry and then brushed out
again. The best combination is to use
the whites for cleaning and to feed
the yellows raw mixed up with bread
or biscuits. This is the most effec-
tive use, for the whites contnin no oil
and make the cleaning easier, while
the yolks are most valuable food If
the price OF eggs, however, Is prohib-

finely ground is the better) will an

We have fed the sea for Thousand
years." but never as we are forced to
feed 1t today; it has become In the
last 38 months a place of quiet sepul-
ture for tens Of thousands Of our fell
low cOuntrymen their graves un-
marked except by the flowers Of mem
ory. Where Is the romance Of the sea
which lured our seamen, as boys or
youths, away from the comfort and Sc
curity of home? The great adventure
has become the great tragedy Of mari
time history, says London Daily Tele-
graph. Romance has been overla1d by
realities Of crime and cruelty, which
are, happily, fresh in human expert
ence. The naval bluejacket thought
to fight in the open an honorable foe,
both sides using legitimate weapons Of
war, in accordance with the immemO-
rial restraints; instead he is confront
ed by men who have forgotten the
meaning Of honor in word and deed,
and take pride in striking felon's
blows. Humanity after action" was

during and after action is the cry Of
the Germans.

More trouble in the enemy naval
forces Is reported. It Is a curious thing
that discomfort In a military nation
usually appears first in the navy. The
Russian navy Is the latest example Of
this, the muttnies on the Black sea
warships being the first serious fore
runners Of successful revolutionary
movements. Why this should be true
is not clear. But possibly it Is due to
the fact that d warship is a separate
unit; and that, once crew is organ
lied for trouble it can pretty we'll pur-
sue Its own course, says Montreal Sun

THE FATE OF SERBIA,

Serbia Is Il ruined nation. Accord
Ing to Geneva newspaper, one-quar-
ter of the population of 100000 which
it had in 1914 is dead, either killed in
the war or victims Of disease or priva-
ton. The survivors are permanently
weakened. There Is no way for the
allied or neutral nations to send into
Serbia enough food to sustain the peO-
pie, and the Germans do not care what
becomes of them. For Serbia, with her
Slavic opposition to Teuton control,
has stood in the way of the Pan-Ger-
man plan for many years. 1t was on
the cards that the country must be
abolished so that Germany would have
an easy path to Constantinople and
beyond. There seems but one remedy
for this situation, one plan by which
the Slavs Of the Balkan district can
be saved from Teuton domination and
tntrigue-the establishment, under the
protection Of the allies, of a Slavic
state in accordance with plans already
outlined by Serb statesmen; q state
that will include Serbia, Montenegro,
Croatia, Slavonia and part Of Istria,
with a population of about 100000,
able to hold Its own against Bulgaria,
or Austria, or any single country that
might try to break it up, says Detroit
News. The Slavs Of southeastern Eu-
rope seem to understand the necessity
for union and to be ready for it. IN
less they can combine they are at the
mercy Of the Prussian program.
