"Listen to the City clock!
To itself it ever talks;
From its place it never walks
Observation-Disclosures
Tell me what il says.
sI'm q very truthful clock;
People say about the place,

For this truth to all l tell:

That is what it says"
Every taxpayer OF Wildwood has a
property right and interest, not only
in city hall and its famous clock, but
IN every public improvement and utili-
ty owned by the city, including the
million dollar water plant.
Some time ago Finance Commission
er Ryan expressed his opinion, at a
meeting of the commissioners, that in
time the water plant would be one of
the city's best assets. He did not
specify when that time was likely to
be; whether in the present century or
in the 2lst century. II such a time
ever does come, we fear that all now
exercising the sovereign right of voting,
will have waived that cherished pre-
rogative, and the burden of govern
ment will he resting on the shoulders
of their children or their children'S
children! If the water utility had been
at a right price, there might have been
some show of its becoming a valuable
asset, giving the people the benefit of
low water rates. The claim is made
by many that the price paid for this
second hand utility was not far short
OF the cost of constructing an entire
new ''spick and span" and up-to-date
system. So much for bad manage
ment!
1t was POI when the mayor entered
the commissioners chamber yesterday
to preside at the weekly meeting.
Ex-senator Lewis T. Stevens, Of Cape
May City, was a brief caller just before
the meeting opened. He simply "walk-
ed right in" shook hands with each
commissioner and the JOURNAL re-
porter, and then walked right out
again. AS he shook hands he re-
marked that he was not running for
any office now; whereupon the mayor
replied that it looked as if the other
fellow had stopped running too. This
was a fine piece of humor. but the re-
porter did moi grasp it; so he asked the
mayor what he meant by saying the
other fellow had stopped running also?
His Honor replied that ''the other fell

years; when you catch anything you

"At any rate have taken your little lecture ss much to heart that here after l expect to carry with me small cakes of soap instead of coins. and to each measly mendieant who impor- tunes me fling one cake. with the ad- monition that he wash his face there with, so that on the morrow when I come by that way I can see how he looks and thus determine whether or not can ever love him" m."-Kansas City Star.

ADD 4HoRRoRs OF WARFARE"
When the Army Captain and the Hos pitaI Nurse Consult the Die
 tionsry Together.

! dropped into Il French hospital the other day to see if my men were all right. There is the daintiest little girl in the office. She buzzes around among the books and files and indices and things She is very accommodate ing. too, and when the lieutenant doc tor, who has a little English. is not in, she pilots you around the differ ent wards. Did you ever notice an American when he talks to a foreign CT and realizes that it does not takeg First he tries shouting at the top of his lungs. and then he tries talking very slowly and distinctly. Not So when French girl sees that she is missing. She seems to feel that if she keeps on getting closer, and coos it., you somehow just must understand. Now, isn't that too absurd? You stand very still so as not to frighten her away and look at her out of the corner Of your eye, but you don't put your mind on your business. Of all the 'mologies that might interest you just then, ety has the poorest chance.
 Of course, when I go to the hospital to see my men, have to find out in the office where they all are, and of course I know the lieutenant doctors dinner hour. I go in and she looks up and smiles. I say: Smith" She says, "Smeeth?" I say, "Oui," and we both smile. I say. John Smith," She says, "John Smeeth?" I say. "Oui," and we smile again. Then she plunges into a drawer of well-thumbed cards and in moment comes up triumphant with a bit of pasetboard. "Mumps?" says she which in French sounds like humps in English. "Oui. mumps," say I, and we fairly beam.
 Sometimes we get a hard one like measles, and then we resort to a dictionary. When you try to talk through a dictionary you never get anywhere if you take it turn about. You must both look together. One day we pursued a most elusive word through very small dictionary. She got an arm around my shoulder before we had captured the third syllable. You see, don't you, where going to a hospital might become a habit?-Capt. Hill ?. Wilson in K. U. Graduate Magazine.

France BuiIdino Lono Canal.

Notwithstanding the war, the largest tunnel in the world is we'll under course of construction in France, it's object being to give Marseilles conDec- tion with Paris and the interior of the country in general by rail and wa ter. The canal will provide ample waterway for barkes. The entire prof ect involves the building of new harbor and the cutting of ship canal, actually tunneled through solid rock for five long miles, joining the old har- bor and the Mediterranean to the River Rhone. The Rhone's upper stretches are placid, and already are used extensively for barge navigation. but near Marseilles the stream is far too turbulent for commerce.. A range of hills had prevented the construc- ton of canal in days gone by Now, with France energized by the war and with the necessity for the canal emphasized thereby, the tunnel is be- ing cut and the canal will soon be opened. The work was begun in 1911- 12, and has been continued through the war. By this canal and links al ready available. barges can be sent from the Mediterranean to the English channel.

 but more than half of them had Eng fish nurses, and were speaking Eng lish to them. It Is very noticeable. this fashion for English-trained nurses. The children's clothes are modelled much more on the lines of English children's clothes-bright-eo ored cloth coats and little beaver hats.
