Rancocas Park Opening

Rancocas Park opened for the season
Saturday evening and there was a
large number present to enjoy the en-
tertainment that was offered them.
The Peerless orchestra furnished music
for dancing and there were few mo-
ments that the dance floor was not &C.
cupied. Owing to the stoppage Of
passes at Camp Dix there were not
many soldiers present, but there will
probably be change in this respect
later when passes are issued.
The lessees, Browne & Phares, hope
to make this the most attractive season
in the parks history. The lake has
been cleared and there will be plenty
OF boating. The restaurant privileges
have been leased to the proprietors of
the Crystal cafe, Mount Holly, and
this ensures attention and service of
the best character.
Picnic parties will be welcome at all
times. Tables will be free and the
cooking apparatus will be furnished
without charge, the fires even being
built at no expense to those who wish
to use them There will be other free
entertainment, such as moving pic
lures, swings and seesaws. OF course
there will be amusements that will be
charged for, otherwise the manage
ment could not conduct the affair.
Arrangements have been made to
keep the park clear Of all Objectionable
features and people, and especial at
tention will be given to this matter. L
is intended to make the park plac'
where families may go and enjoy
themselves without being annoyed. A
special programme is being arranged
for Decoration day, and it will be an
nounced later, as will be the man.

time to time.

"OutWiHing the Hun"
SYNOPSIS
By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien
Copyright, 1918. by Pat Alva O'Brien)

SYNOPSIS
Lieutenant O'Brien. in active service
in France. was brought down behind
the German lines in a fall of 5000
feet. He escaped later, in Germany
by bold leap from the window of a
prison train going thirty miles an
hour. Then came his extraordinary
journey out of Germany. through
Luxembourg and into Belgium. He
travelled at night and rested in hiding
during the day, surviving terrible
hardships, swimming rivers when de-
lirious from hunger and exposure, liv-
ing like a hunted animal. In Bel
gium one night a Flemish peasant di-
rects him to a man in a Belgian city,
who can provide him with a passA
port. This man, called Huyliger, in
the story, makes cleNerly forged
counterfeit passport in which O'Brien
is represented as a Spanish sailor.
O'Brien, the passport in his posses
sion, is conducted at night by HuN-
Tiger to a deserted house and left
there alone During the five days he
scpent there, Huyliger ard two as
sociates demand from him an mn
mense sum of money or the return OF
the passport. O'Brien deheS the
blacl5mailers, threatening to expose
them to the Germans If they set the
Germans on his track. In the desert
ed house he had many interesting eX-
DerienCeS.

WOODWARD LOSES
CASE In COURT
No Place on Ticket For Chauf-
feur; Signatures Not
Sufficient

Dauphin county court to-day decided
that it had not been established that
nominating petitions containing
enough signatures to qualify George
Woodward. a chauffeur living in Phil
adelphia, to become a candidate for
the Republican Senatorial nomination
in the Sixth District, had been filed
with the Secretary of the Common
wealth
The decision was given in refusing
a mandamus asked against the sec
retary of the commonwealth to COM
candidate, the claim having been
made in support of the prayer for a
writ that enough papers had been
iiled, but that they were lost in the
rush to file petitions on the final day
for receiving them.
DR.. George Woodward, who is also
candidate for the Republican Sem
which is represented by Senator
owen b. Jenkins, made an effort to
intervene during the hearing. and
some testimony in his behalf was
submitted. The petition was dismiss
ed at the cost of the petitioner for
the mandamus.
Opinion Reviews Case
The opinion reviews the case, not
ing that the petition which it was
established was filed containing 1872
names when 200 were needed and
says 1T must be presumed that the
VI lHG commonwealth ulu
his full duty with respect to all pa
pers left with him and the testimony
| indicates that in this case the fact
| is in accord with the presumption"
! The court says that careful search
in the department failed to disclose
any other papers and the finding of
the papers produced raises a pre-
sumption that these were the only
papers left in the realtors behalf with
the secretary. The testimony as to
any other paper being left there is
not clear and satisfactory. The wit
nesses almost without exception ad-
mitted certain errors in their recol-
lection in regard to alleged papers
and there is doubt as to their haV-
| ing been left with the secretary and
there is also doubt as to the con-
tents of the papers. Human recoI-
lection is very uncertain and to this
fact may be attributed the contra
ditions of witnesses"
In closing the court says THE tes-
timony taken shows that these NOM
ination papers were handled intelli-
gently and carefully in the office of
the respondent. There does not seem
to be any reasonable probability of
any paper left there having been
actually lost, for the public business
in the office of the respondent ac-
| cording to all the testimony. has been
conducted carefully, intelligently and
with great fidelity"

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

Not often does a woman score so
splendidly as did the wife of the
professor who is reported to have
taken under her roof the misguided
young woman who had registered
with him at a New York hotel.
This gracious act of magnanimity
on the part of the "wronged wife
will go long way toward disproving
the tooth-and-claw methods ascrib-
ed to women in their dealings with
each other.

The culprit seems neither better
nor worse than the usual undevel-

this kind of plight. She is reported
as saying: when my husband re-
turns from France | will dwell with

But what of the husband-will

Very naturally he may prefer to

ton, and later broke the law--and
suffered it's penalties-in an effort to
live up to their speech.
There was the case of the bril-
liant lrishman whose decadent epi-
grams may be said to have founded
the smart" school of literature
From being the most petted man in
London he became a hyword, and
managed to live long enough TO
serve his sentence and die outside CT
Jail. There was the witty and de-
| lightful professor member of the
faculty of Columbia College, New
/ York-who fell by the wayside af-
ter he began writing antithetical
sentences at the expense of the
/ homely virtues.
And there are dozens and dozens
of playwrights who fairly run cpl
gram foundries over hours in their
efforts TO be witty at the expense oi
convention. Curiously enough, they
are more often in than out of the
divorce court, and marriage is IN
variably the bull's-eye around which
play their prettiest and crispest wit
ticisms.
Not a Master At Epigram

some of the master word jugglers
He says The morality of women
is an eXpediency rather than an
innate virtue"
He also says: Women are bet
ter off for having had their fins
as men do. Dissipated women Of

| wonder what the poor, foolish
little lieutenant's wife, devotedly at
Z .NaI - l..
would say tol this counterfeit OF
speech today. With the world
against her. her husband in France
still to be heard from, l venture to
, say she is under no illusions.
The epigram that in all probable
ity is claiming her attention today
is: For as you sow, We are like to
reap" Or the line from the Old
Testament: They have sown the
wind, and they shall reap the whirl-
wind"
Charity Was There.

/ is: "Chivalry is the persistence OF

husbands epigrams-they have not

tive stories.
What does she think of this ef-
fort of her husbands in particular :

she trading for her irreproachable

Unsinkable Ship Safe;
DeGes Hun U-Boat

Baltimore. Md, May 11.-An un-
sinkable ship, which braved the dan
gers of the submarine zone as a
challenge to the Hun U-boat, has re-
turned safely to an Atlantic port. 1t
is understood that the vessel left an
Atlantic port in n convoy of forty
three vessels, and when the fleet
reached the danger zone the unsink-
able ship left the convoy as. a de-
liberate challenge to the undersea
boats. No attempt was made to avoid
the enemy war vessels, and the ship
headed a direct course for it's des-
tination, a French port. After de-
livering its cargo the vessel sailed
and a second time nc effort was made
to escape the submarine.

Heal Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
$1.00 for extra large bottle, and prompt
ly appliedwill usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating,
disappearing liquid and is soothing to
the most delicate skin. It is not greasy,
is easily applied and costs little. Get
it today and save all further distress.
