soMERs POINT COUNCIL
REJECTS DIR. JONES PROPOSAL
He Offers to Compensate City and Ii
cense Holders If Licenses
Are Not Granted.

Rev. DR.. Henry E. Jones, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, Pleas
~antyille, advanced a very novel, and
possibly unprecedented proposition to
City Council of Somers Point last Sat
urday night during the consideration
of two liquor licenses, those of the
Peters and Schick Hotels, by offering
to compensate Council and the hotel
proprietors for the loss of license rev
enue and stock in the hotel bars in
such legitimate manner as it might be
possible to do so if Council would re-
fuse the licenses.
First qualifying himself as a neu-
trail and asking Council to look upon
him not as a pastor or emissary of
the w. C. T. u, but as one interested
only in the humanitarian side, DR..
Jones stated he was willing to con
cede that Council would lose $1,000 rev.
enue by loss of the two licenses and
that the saloon keepers would likely
lose the amount which their stock vas
worth. That, therefore, if the w. C.
T. u, with a number of whose mem
bers he visited Council, desired a dis
continuation of the licenses they should
be willing to meet the situation half
way or in this very reasonable way,
and that with Councils permission he
would put the proposition to them if
they would hold over consideration
of the licenses a sufficient number of
hours.
He proposed that an appraisal com
mittee of four be appointed, two rep
resenting the "drys" and two repre-
senting the "wets" for the purpose of
arriving at the value of the stock in
each of the bars. Councilman Birch
inquired if the pastor thought that
would be a sufficient reimbursement
to the license holders and DR.. Jones
replied it would, especially in view of
the expiration of the license privilege
on July /. Chairman of Council re-
piled that it would be impossible to
grant a postponement of the matter
as, if they did not act upon the ques-
ton Saturday night, the hotels would
be without the power to sell liquor
Monday morning, and the proposition
was therefore turned down.
The money which would have been
necessary for DR.. Jones' proposed ne
gotiation would have been raised by
the w. C. T. u, whose activities have
been noted in the mainland town an
nually when the license question was
proposed.
DR.. Jones stated, following the meet
ing, that it was necessary in his voca
ton as in that of the legal fraternity
to very often view life questions from
the opposing interests standpoint, and
to gain his point by asking them to do
only that which from their viewpoint
is reasonable, adding that this was the
method by which they had hoped to
make Somers Point dry.
Counsel for the saloon keepers did
not ask for the privilege of the floor
and the licenses were granted. They
had previously been approved as to
form by the license committee.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can Just rub the tobacco between
the palms OF their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking t95accos employ some
favoring Ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind Of favorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

ming examines the bouquet he has just
given the girl and again leaves with
out explaining her sudden visit. The
third address is a wedding at which
Tom Norton is best man and the bridal
bouquet of white roses is devoid of
the deadly germs SO she knows the
last address is the right me-. Tom
notes the detective following Light
ming and goes with him. The fourth
address is that of Snuffy Williams
room overlooking the route of the pa
rade and WI is standing at the win
dow holding the bouquet containing
the germs, ready to hurl it into the
district attorneys face when he pass
es. Lightning enters the building by
a fire escape and before Tom can stop
him the detective following her has
shot and wounded her in the shoulder.
Lightning wounded but still game stag
gers on towards WI while Tom leaps
on the detective to prevent him from
firing another shot and they have a
terrific struggle. WI raises the bou-
quet to hurl it from the window when
Lightning weakly raises her revolver
and fires at him and he drops as the
shot takes effect.

The
LIGHTNING RAIDER
THE WHITE ROSES.
(Thirteenth Episodel

After Lightning's sudden appearance
and peculiar actions at the district
attorneys home, she hurried in a taxi
to WI Fang's place, for she suspected
what he intended to do-kill Tom by
slow poison and extract more of the
germs from his body, during his death
throes. She worked a clever ruse on
WI and Edwards who were operating
on Tom and by initiating the sound
of many feet rushing up the stairs,
frightened WI and Edwards so that
they left the place. Then she released
Tom and Riley the detective. Mean
while the district attorney and chief
of police convinced that it had been
the Lightning Raider who he'd inter-
rupted their dinner party set all the
machinery of the police to trail Light
ming. So she adopted the disguise of
an old lady to fool the police and even
called on Tom and fooled him COM
pletely until she had revealed her iden-
tity. Wu's next scheme to get the
district attorney is to have a bouquet
of roses containing the deadly germ
powder thrown at him the next day
during a parade in which he knows the
official will ride. He sends Hop Sing

Lightning who has just eluded the
detectives who are trailing her has
resumed her ordinary street dress and
chances upon the Celestial in the for
lists and suspects Wu's scheme. So
she sends The Wasp, wearing a detec-
tive's shield to the florist to find out
where a bunch of white roses ordered
by a Chinaman, had been sent. The
Wasp gets hold of the wrong clerk
and finds that four punches of white
roses were delivered from the shop
but can n ascertain which one was
ordered by a Chinaman. So he re-
turns, gives the four addresses to
Lightning whose task it then becomes
to go to each of the addresses and find
just where the death dealing bouquet
is. The first address is that of a
banquet of the Society for Anthropo-
logical Research and Lightning as
tounds the staid diners by rushing into
the room, examining closely the flow
ers on the table and then leaving abb
ruptly. Meanwhile the detectives set
on her trail by the district attorney
are hot after her and she has to adopt
many tricks to elude them. The sec
ond address is that of a girl upon
whom a young man is calling. Light

FILM LIBRARIES.

The idea of educational motion pic
lures is gaining much support. The
government is already doing a coed
deal in this line. Many people feel it
should do much more. Thomas A. Ed
ison, in a recent magazine article, says
the government should have great Ii
braries of educational films to be used
in school work. He would have these
available so they could be had in any
school anywhere. He thinks there are
a great many slow minded children
who could get ideas in this way that
they could obtain through books.
The time will come when all public
Libraries will carry a department OF
educational moving pictures. Picture
machines and films will be produced at
moderate prices and will become com
mon in schools and churches. His
tory, geography, social science, com
munity spirit, the Bible, and many
other subjects will be taught in this
way.
Moving pictures are destined to be
one of the worlds great educational
forces. They convey ideas more Wv.
idly than any other method. They
arouse emotion and enthusiasm. They
form deep impressions that profoundly
influence people
These pictures performed a tremen-
dous service during the war. They
helped people who do not read much
to understand the reasons for the war,
and to see Americas peril. They Sc
cured a splendid support for the wal
efforts.
In the same way the moving picture
can be used to help on all community
causes. Boards of Trade can use them

How to Remove Easily.
' Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-

Simply get an ounce of Othine-

and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine, as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove freck-
