How They Do It.

"What chances actors takel" you
may exclaim when you see a motion
picture showing a man and a lion, with
a none too pleasant expression, in a
hollow log together, each apparently
unaware of the presence of the other.
1t seems a pity to spoil the effect Of
such a good thriller by telling the truth
about the filming. The lion alone was
taken during one exposure of the film.
When he had bowed himself out of the
log and back into his cage the man was
allowed to take the center of the
screen, or rather of the log, and was
photographed in proper relation to the
lion, on the second exposure of the
same film. But on the screen, of course.
they both appear in the log at the same
time.-Popular Science Monthly.

While these wearers of the pretty

take note on two approved models Of
dresses made in the new styles. The
designer of the gown at the right chose
a wool fabric and found the allowance
Of four and a half yards which pa
triotism will concede to one dress, all
that he needed. The other frock is
Of striped satin and plain georgette
crepe, which need not be conserved,
but it uses only just enough material
to carry out a design that makes mod
est demands in fabrics.
The wool frock is a one-piece model
with narrow, plain skirt Joined to a
plain bodice, by a wide, Straight belt
of the material. The sleeves are close
fitting, making place for a row Of
small cloth-covered buttons, set close
together, which appear to have become
the hallmark Of class on blouses and

FOR
State Senator
Lewis I. Stevens
Republican Primaries
SEPTEMBER a, 1918
"Works Consistently for Cape May
County"
Return to the Legislature a Represent
tative who has always been alive
to the County's interests
To Cape May County Republicans:

Having served one term in the State
Senate and having done as l thought
as the best for the interests of all the
people of the County and State, and at
the suggestion of many leading Repub-
~licans, [ am a candidate for renomina-
ton in the coming primaries.
l am opposed for the denomination
by Mr.. William H. Bright, who has
within the last two years RETURNED
TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,
and is, therefore, legally entitled to be
a candidate in the primaries for the
nomination to any office. Mr.. Bright,
unlike most of the men who have serv-
ed in the Assembly before going TO the
Senate, DOES NOT SEEN WILL
ING TO GO TO THE ASSEMBLY
TO GET THE NEEDED EXPERT
ENCE in legislative matters, but wants
to take the top job as a beginner.
Since the Republican party was
formed sixty years ago only n Re-
publican, Hon. Joseph H. Hanes, has
served in the Senate from Cape May
without going to the Assembly, and
that was 80 years ago. Mr.. Bright, in
1872, was a candidate for the Senate on
the Progressive ticket and received
enough votes to allow Hon. Harry G.
Wheaton, a Democrat, to DEFEAT
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE,
Hon. Lewis M. Cresse, by about 300
votes.
1t will be recalled that in the same
year, 1912, l published over my sigma
ture, in all of the county papers which
would publish the same, an appeal to
the voters to elect the Republican can
didates of hat time, viz:-For Senator,
Lewis M. Crosse; for Assembly, Henry
S. Rutherford, and for Surrogate, Cors-
vile E. Stille. And it will be recalled
that when Mr.. Bright, in 1904, had
been made Sheriff he was aided largely
by the work of the late Senator Crosse
and Assemblyman James M. E. Hill
dreth, who were then the leaders in the
party, and in 1912 Mr.. Bright seeming:
ly forgot the kindness of these men to
him.
In view of the fact that | have been,
as I believe, faithful TO the people in
my duties and to the principles for
which I have declared, / deem it that
my denomination is a deserved one. L
have stood for every measure of the
State in supporting the United States
IN the efforts to win this world war for
democracy. May I have your vote Of
confidence on primary day?

tition of this motif in smaller size.
A double tunic distinguishes the
novel frock at the left of the pic
ture. 1t has a narrow underskirt of
crepe with a long tunic of crepe fin
ished at the bottom with a wide band
of striped satin. The full sleeves are
of crepe with bands of the striped silk
at the wrists. The easily draped bod
ice is cut with a square neck-opening
at the front and is made entirely Of
silk, joined to a pointed tunic of silk
that is shorter at the back than at the
sides and front. 1t does not extend
across the front of the frock and it's
shape and length are style features of
the season that characterize coats in
coat suits as well as TUNES. Frocks of
this kind usually fasten under the arm
and on the shoulder. A lace-trimmed
organdie collar and cuff set is so good
a finish for this frock that 1t may be
considered a necessity.

RULER LEAVES SOFIA
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria May
Have Quit Throne.
Monarch Is Reported to Have Gone
On An Extended Trip"
to Foreign Lands.

Washington, July 31.-According to
French dispatches, quoting reports
from Basle, King Ferdinand has left
Bulgaria for an extended trip" to
foreign lands, presumably on account
of his health.
Premier Malinoff, who reorganized
the ministry after the fall of Premier
Radaslovoff, will replace the king dur
ing his absence, the cables added.
Ferdinand's sudden departure from
Sofia, while the Turko-Bulgar dispute
is critical is regarded as significant
In diplomatic circles here. While
nothing has been said, it has been
generally known that the Bulgarian
throne is on an unstable foundation.
Bulgaria is tired of the war. Four
years of fighting preceded by the two
Balkan wars, in which she lost heav-
lily, have drained her man power. In
addition to this the prospect of a
poor harvest is having a distressing
effect on the Bulgarian mind.

OFFERS ALIBI FOR RETREAT
Berlin Government Gives Excuses for
Reverses.

Amsterdam, July 31.-In an at
tempt to sweeten the bitter pill of
the German people, the Berlin gov
ernment is circulating a pamphlet
dealing with the shortening of the
German 'front.'" written by a former
German general staff officer.
According to Berlin dispatch re-
ceived here, the officer says in part:
ut does not matter whether we
carry on the struggle extensively or
defensively or stand on this or that
sector. The shortening of the Marne
front extends over such a narrow strip
and the withdrawal relates to such a
small part of it that it represents a
purely tactical movement for the pur-
pose of creating favorable fighting
conditions. 1t has only local signifi-
canoe. The strategical position as a
whole Is not I'm the least affected.
"Our command retains complete
freedom of operation. and by shorten
ing its front 1t avoided allowing itself
to be pinned down, under locally un-
favorable conditions, to any definite
sector"
