The dream and hope of many that a
bridge might some day be built across
the Delaware river between Camden
and Philadelphia seem to be in fair
way toward realization. A bill has
been introduced in the Legislature pro-
viding for state tax Of one mill on the
dollar to aid in the project. The bills
will undoubtedly become laws, the
only question being whether the tax
shall be levied next year or wait until
the road tax now on is out of the way.
The enthusiasm of the legislators on
the subject seems to indicate that the
road tax will not be allowed to inter.
fere and the prospects are that bridge
will be commenced within five years,
and possibly may be completed within
that period.

Random Remarks.

With Camp Dix close by and with a
large number of summer boarders the
town of New Egypt has become i'm
bued with the idea that it has out
grown the old-fashioned style of town
ship government and wants to be q
borough. Application will be made to
the present session of the Legislature
to have the township of Plumsted di-
vided so that New Egypt may be gov
erned by borough officers.

The appointment of an appeal agent
for this county appears to have led to
the impression that the official has I'M
limited powers and can grant almost
any request that is presented to him.
This is not the case If any one who
has been placed in the conscripted list
has grievance he may appeal,' but the
decision must rest with the boards that
have originally passed upon the case.
There is not any appeal for exemption.
In order to get some of the appeals re-
viewed it will be necessary for the APP
plicant to show that his papers were
not made out right in the first place
and that he has not been properly
classed. If the applicant will go to the
County Clerks office Mr.. Richard
Folwell will examine the papers and
inform the applicant whether he has
ground for appeal. If the man who
has been put in the draft list has given
improper information the appeal agent
may have the case reopened and re.
viewed. If, when he signed the ques-
tionaires he did not thoroughly unde4.
stand the situation, he may seek re.
| dress But in any case he should con.
suit the original papers in order that
he may be prepared to give definite in
formation to the appeal agent.
what does your grandfather have
to say about old-fashioned winters?" il
question that has frequently beer
asked during the last month, 1t does
not need grandfather or greatgrand
father to answer this query. The pres
ent generation has its own thoughts
and will have enough to remember TO
many winters to come. Those who
will probably have the most vivi(
recollections are the coal dealers
Everybody knows what the coal situa
ton has been but few realize the sleep
less nights and the worrying days tina
have confronted these who dealin coal
Mount Holly has had it's own share o
this situation and the coal merchant
have responded nobly to demands ant
met every request as far as was in thei
power, rich and poor were treated OF
the same basis and many who hav,
been able heretofore to have large
supply of coal in their bins for white
use have been compelled to rest con
tent with carriage of two or tire
bushels at time.

VIRGINIA PEARSON
 AT FOX'S THEATER

There was many a sharp intake of
 breath today at Fox's during The
 Liar,' the smashing big photoplay
 day only.
 The story of The Liar centers
 around the marriage and motherhood
 of a young girl who is charged with
 having negro blood in her veins At
 first the girl laughs at the accusation,
 but later when she is about to become
 a mother, she is confronted by her prosecutor with papers that he alleges
 to be proof. How she thwarts hi:
 plot would hardly be fair to tell this review, but her solution of b problem forms a climax that is won derfully thrilling. Miss Pearson i supported in "The Liar" by an eXceis- tional cast which includes Liane Held Carrera, only daughter of Anna Held. the famous French comedienne, who died last week in New York city. Miss Carrera was warned by physicians during her mothers illness that she must seek something to occupy her mind from her mothers illness, else 1 she too \would break down. She got l in touch with MT. Sam Kingston, who casts for MT. FoX's productions, and who was a former stage director for 1 Anna Held. He promptly cast her for , the role of the daughter in "The ! Liar,' which is of added interest to 1 all film followers today. she giving a 1 remarkable perforfmance. being as tal- i ented and charming as her lamented mother.
 Patrons of Fox's theater tomorrow evening are assured of an entertaining evening when Constance Talmadge in The Studio Girl'' will be the feature attra ction. In "The Studio Cirl'' she clinches even more securely the high favor she has won in the hearts of Americas film audiences by her de- hneation of captivating. if capriciOus, girls. As Celia Laird, she runs away from her home in Cliff Haven, a tiny New England village, and a lOveless
 marriage with Obadiah Daw. a deplor-
 blei lout but the village catch, by kid-
 ing in the tonneau of Frazer Ordwaf's
 car as he motors back from vacation
 in her home town to his New York
 studio. He puts her on a train sup
 posedly bound for Cliff Haven, but
 when he gets to his apartment that
 evening he finds her asleep in his arm-
 chair How they get out of this en-
 tanglement, and how she helps him
 evade the charge of abduction for which the constables come to arrest
 him. make a thoroughly enjoyable pie ture of delightful comedy. There will
 be the usual number of high-class comedies and educa tional subjects.

Expensive Economy
BY RUTH CAMERON.

why don't you ask your husband to telephone, when he is in town, and find out just what the prices and qualities are?" I asked my neighbor when she told me she was going to order hammock by mail. T think if you say about such and such a price they are sure to give you one a, little more expensive." T know that" said my neighbor, but Philip is so busy that I don't like to ask him to remember it and fuss over it, just to save two or three dollars"

blast. the Chinese girls in their frolics, a police raid on a, gamblers den, a crowd of tourists sightseeing, tho oriental hazaars and tea rooms, and the quaint and picturesque homes are & few of the many features The Capt. himself describes every scene throughout the travelogue.
 Billie Burke's latest photoplay Lets Get A Divorce' is more than ordinarily interesting on account of the unique subject of the play, telling of a happy married woman made niserab ble through the Wiles of a vampire whose only desire is to wreck a home. How Billie succeeds in bringing back happi- ness makes a most interesting play.
 The EIco comedy direct from the studio proves the best this company has produced in some time. Current Events With 5 different subjects and the educational film are more than up to the standard of these instructive and entertaining films
 An O. Henry story and several other short subjects complete the picture program.
 Keeney's is compelled to run a con- tinuons show on account of the many features presented by the mana cement on the double feature photoplay and mammoth feature vaudeville bill
 The big vaudeville show this week has proved tremendously popular. Every act 8. feature act
 Whitney's Dolls the most original singing act in vaudeville with special scenery and electrical effects introduce comedy singing that calls for several encores.
 Tie McPhersons Scotland's favo- rite singing and dancing team with Scotch music are the biggest novelty of the season.
 Goforth and Doyle in a blackface comedy act convulse the audience with their eccentric dancing. The Lar neds, a comedy bicycle act seem to be able to do anything on bicycles.
 On Sunday evening the Vitagraph special Barren Son of Kazan" will he the feature photopay. This play was produced by the Vitagraph Co.,, exactly as the manuscript called for. Several other interesting stories will also he shown. Miss Olive Madden will sing Edward Madden's latest song success "A Mothers Prayer For Her Sailor Boy In Blue''

upon as Justification by the husband whose work does not require such intense concentration but who just dislikes errands. It is simply brought forward to illustrate wonan's atti- tude toward money
 Another illustration came to my attention recently. A friend of ours has just bought one of those com b1nation stools and stepladders that are so useful in the kitchen. T think it keeps me off my feet an hour a day" she says, T do all my veg etables sitting down and I find I can wash my dishes very comfortably that way. I've wanted one for eight years and I never enjoyed anything more.' Just fancy waiting eight years for an article that would con- serve strength to that extent and that only cost one dollar!

 Of course there is another ex- treme, and at it you will find the person (alnost invariably a man) who says of any saving his wife tries to make, That doesn't pay be- cause it takes too much time and energy" I heard g, woman make a good retort to that. She had gone to eight shops to get some yarn for a sweater, a dollar cheaper. Her hus- band had made the conventional comment. But suppose you've got the time and energy and haven't got the money?" she retorted with spirit (But don't forget to be sure the thing is worth the time and en- ergy.)

I think they had forgotten there was any one else in the world except them selves and her child as they went out of the little breakfast room together Mrs. Cosgrove and l, left alone to- gether, looked at each other--a long gaze And then I saw Mrs. Cosgrove's eyes fill with tears.
 "The pity of it!" she said passion ately "Theyre so suited to each other they would be so happy together after the tragedies both have lived. Why, why, is Fate so cruel? I wouldn't blame them if they defied Fate ana took their happiness anyway"

 T know," I said soothingly. Sup pose we go with them Miss Sonnot is already with little Marion, and I want you to meet her"
 It was banally done, but I was ob- sessed with the idea that the more people there were around Marion the less chance there would be for her to brood over not seeing her grand mother.
 I saw Mrs. Cosgrove lift her eye brows, but she followed me out of the breakfast room and across the living room to Lillian's rose-hung bedroom.
 Marion. a, dainty pajamaed little cherub, with her golden hair ruffled in enchanting curls all over her head was in Robert Savarin's arms, stroking his cheeks with her tiny hands and ut tering little cries of delight.
 I'm so glad you've come back, Uncle Bob!" she said again and again
 "she Will Want Me- i've tried to get Marion to change that name for a more digniied appel lation," her mother said, but she in- sists upon nothing but Uncle Bob. " Don't you ever let anybody change that name, honey girl, will you?' Rob- ert Savarin asked the sprite in his arms gravely, and Marion shook her head earnestly.
 They made a beautiful picture, the silver streaked brown head of the artist against the golden curls of the child. The thought Dickens express ed so beautifully in "A Tale of Two Cities" came to my mind, the idea that there is aften a peculiarly beautiful and intense affection between a man who has hopelessly loved a woman and her children
 Lillian could not control the happi- ness in her face as she looked at them. But her voice and manner were under perfect control as she saw Mrs. Cos grove and me.
 Here is somebody else for you to love, Marion" she said, taking Mrs Cosgrove's hand and bringing her Up to the child She is your Uncle Bob's sister and lives way up in the moun- tains with him.
 How do you do," Marion said with perfect courte sy, giving Mrs Cosgrove her hand, but nestling closer to Robert Savarin. as if she were afraid someone would take her away from him.
 DO you know you look just ike a little white lamb that runs around in my yard" Mrs. Cosgrove remarked in an off-hand manner. Marion considered the bait a mo- ment then took it. What is it's name?" she demanded, interested.
 "Sukey. You ought to see her come around to the back door for a pinch of salt''
 "Doesn't she bite?" "Oh, no, never! Wouldn't you like l to come home with MT. Savarin and | see herr"
 The child's face lighted enthusias- tically. The next moment it clouded. T couldn't leave my grandma. she's so sick" she replied, and then came l the moment we had dreaded. Pushing herself away from Robert Savarin's tender clasp she tried to get 1 down to the floor "I must go to see my grandma right away,' she said. She will want me"
