ORGANIZED at Wildwood

The officers of the Grand Encamp-
ment of Patriarchs q. o. o. f OF the
State of New Jersey came to Wildwood
last Saturday and organized a local
lodge of the order. The visiting lodge
men were Grand Patriarch Lafayette
F. Sauble, Of Camden; Grand Senior

Grand Junior Warden Ernest G. Fell
ner, of Hoboken; Grand Representa-
tives Alfred B. Wilson, of Trenton,
and Oscar N. Falk. of Paterson; Grand

lodge was organized with the following
officers: Chief Patriarch, Lewis Kraus;
Senior. Warden, A. M. Ely; Junior
Warden, Edward Fox; High Priest,
William Neill; Scribe, Lewis Eldredge;
Treasurer, Oscar Risley. In the eve
ming about fifty candidates presented
themselves, took the obligation and be-
came charter members Of the order. A
number were from Court House and
Tuckahoe lodges. To be eligible to join
the Patriarchs it is necessary to be an
Odd Fellow. Two or three of the new
members were past seventy years Of
age. 1t was as fine a body Of men as
ever assembled in a local lodge room
aud the grand officers were surprised
at the big turnout. They were greatly
pleased aud said it was the biggest
lodge they we organized. After ad-
journment a lunch wus spread and all
the visiting grand officers made inter-
estlng addresses. The name selected
for the new lodge is Sea Shell Encsmp-
ment, named for that famous song
which Ed. 2. Fox loves to sing.

Associations
to Commissioners

The following letter was addressed
to the City Commissioners and read a
week ago Directing to the removal of
the boardwalk at the present time:
Qst) That we do not believe that
the plans and specifications have been
given proper thought and considera-
ton, nor that the plans and specified.
tions about to be adopted for the said
new boardwalk are complete in all OF
the details nor conform with the views
and ideas OF the taxpayers of this City.
(2d) Fol the reason that the improve
ments now contemplated by your
honorable body and for which you
havebave plans and specifications made
and submitted to you by your Engineer
appointed for that purpose, will so de-
plete and exhaust the borrowing capac-
ity of this city, that there will be M
funds available in case of emergencies
that are liable to arise at any time.
(3d) For the reason that a commit
tee, consisting Of members of this asso-
citation, have made an examination Of
the piling under the board walk in the
first ward of said city, and find
the same to be in an unsafe, unsound
aud dangerous condition to such an ex-
tent that they feel tina: the commits
sioners will have to take action at once
and have the boardwalk in the first
ward overhauled and repaired and the
piling replaced, so that the same will
be IN a safe and passable condition for
the travelling public for the season of
1920.
(4th) The committee above named
reported to this association, that they
made a thorough examination of one
block of piling under said boardwalk in
the fitst ward of said city and found
same to contain los pilings, 45 of which
were entirely decayed, and q of which
were partially decayed and 33 of which
lin their judgment) might last several
years yet; the block examined was
from Magnolia to Poplar avenues. AS
a result of this examination, we recon-
mend to your honorable body that the
engineer make a thorough examination
OF this board walk and approaches in
the first ward of said city, and furnish
your body with a detailed report of the
present condition Of said boardwalk
and the approaches with an esti.
mated cost to put same in good order
and repair for future use.
(5th) For the reason that if the pre-.
ent board walk is moved out, thereby
changing The present grade of the
street, the question will srise that the
people who have improved their prop.
erty along the boardwalk, and who
have heretofore conformed to the grade
now established; would therefore be
entitled to damages; and we feel thai
these points should be definitely settled
by the commissioners by having The
legal question decided before the build
ing of the new board walk; because i
damages were adjudged by the courts
for such change of grade then th'
amount recovered would amount t. al
enormous sum of money.
Yours very respectfully.

John E. Davis, of Ashland, Va,
made his first trip to Wildwood last
night, stopping at the Hotel Seacrest.
He is in the candy business and came
here to see a local candy dealer. He
says the consumption of candy has
increased greatly in the last few years.
Speaking of the sugar situation Mr..
Davis, just here from New York, said
you did not see it in bowls in that
City at present as at Wildwood. He
told of a man who recently came from
Cuba to sell a large cargo of sugar. He
could not get his price in this country
and is now sailing for Spain, hoping
to market it there at a better price. 1t
is said that large quantities of sugar is
being stored in Cuba, waiting for better
prices. For this reason it is said chips
are returning empty to this country
from Cuba. 1t seems that the govern
ment still controls the sugar situation
and that it will only pay so much for
it.

ALPS HAD THEIR REVENGE
Famous Alrman Who Had Defleo
Great Mountains at Last Meets
His Death There.

Few of the men who have given their
lives to the air have met a more i'm
pressive end than the handsome. gold
en-haired young Captain Natalie PallL
He was the favorite pilot during the
war Of Maj. Gabriel d'Annunzio, the
italian poet who became. one of the
greatest airmen.
Palli evidently had motor trouble
when right over the Alps. With ex-
traordinary skill he landed his machine
on glacier 1900 feet high. Getting
out Of 1t unhurt, he started to climb
down the mountain side. A snowstorm
soon set in around him, but on he plod-
ded through the foundering drifts to-
wards the little village of Bourg st.
Moritz, in the valley below. For a
whole day at least he stumbled for
ward. without food and pierced by the
bitter cold.
Then, when he was 200 yards from
a mountain hut. and within sight Of
the Alpine village, his strength gave
out and he sank down into the snow.
His courage urged him to another ef'
fort; the snow was found with the
marks Of his struggles to rise again.
But he could do no more, and there.
two days later. a passing peasant
found the gallant young italian pilot
lying with his head on his arm as II
asleep. half-covered By the snow, and
without bruise on his body.
So did the Alps which he had con-
Quered revenge themselves upon Ma
tale PAIL, who had escaped death In

Women Must Consider Own
Problems.

Washington. Oct. -.-"The Interna-

to be held in Washington on October
23d at the call Of the National Wom-
ems Trade Union League Of America,
affords the first opportunity In the his
tory Of the world for working women
to get together to discuss their COM
mon problems and different phases
Of employment to the end that they
may inaugurate higher Industrial

reau Of the United States Department
Of Labor.
Miss Anderson is secretary to the
committee on International Relation
ships OF the Trade Union League ana
in charge Of arrangements for the con-
ference.
Miss Anderson continued to say:
ssThe United States can no longer be
isolated as a nation. We have taken
our place in the family Of nations and
stand in danger of either going up or
down with the rest Of the world In re-
gard TO industrial standards. To this
end we must never forget that by rails
ing standards Of employment for the
12.OOOOOO women In gainful occupa-
tions In the United States, by guard
ing against child labor and giving
proper protection and care to women
and babies, we are helping to raise
the standards, and that just as soon
&c we fail to make our standards as
high as they should be we will cause
suffering and hardship among women
and children either in our own coun-
trv or In some distant, unthought OF
mart of the world.
'HThe Trade Union principle recog-
nizes the fact that working women
shall participate in the conditions gov
erning their employment, that they

conditions under which they work.
They all agree that because OF TINS
women must have their own part In
