RELIGION WORTH HAVING.

A religion that cannot be brought
into every phase of life is not worth
having; and the affairs of life that
cannot be maintained side by side
with Christ's teachings ought to be
strapped without delay. And until
the brotherhood movement rises to
its responsibilities and makes these
facts plain, It will fail TO be the
power it may be its privilege to be-
come.

TalIow Dips in Denmark.

Denmark has a lighting problem so
serious that the Danish government
recently purchased 400 tons of tallow
from which to make candles, Com
mercial Agent Normal L. Anderson re-
ports from Copenhagen.
There is a scarcity of kerosene also
and electricity is, of course, not avail
able to the isolated farmhouse" says
Mr.. Anderson, who quotes from the
Tidsskrift for Industri, which, in dis
cussing the possibilities Of a~cetylene
and alcohol illumination, states: ACCT
ylene may now legally be used and
may be included in fire insurance
risks. AS a result the manufacture Of
acetylene lamps has fourished greatly
and at the end of the year $50 types
had been put or the market"
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-02-07

The annual meeting Of the stockhold-
ers Of the Wildwood and Delaware Bay
Short Line Railroad company was held
IN Wednesday at the terminal build
ing in Wildwood. Hon. J. Thompson
Baker was chairman ofthe meeting and
Hon. o. 1. Black well was secretary.
As president of the company Mr.. Ba-
ker reviewed briefly the activities of
the company since it was organized 10
1910 by Evans G. Slaughter and War
rem d. Ham. He said it was one of
the few short lines taken Over by the
government. What will be gratifying
TO the bond holders and other creditors
of the road was the report that the
management has every reason to be-
lieve that the com will soon re-
ceive a largs sum of money as its share
of the $500, 900 earnings paid to the
Reading mpany, the carrier from
Wildwood Junction to Philadelphia,
Pennsy ~lvania, since the Wildwood
Short line opened for business in De-
cember, 1912. General Manager e. g.
Slaughter also gave al interesting YER
bal report showing that these two men
have been busy during the past year in
the interest OF the bondholders. The
net earnings of the road showed a de-
crease over those of the previous year.
This was to be expected as the result
Of almost double carfare and many IT.
tailments in travel due to war condi-
tions. AS soon as certain other mat
tiers are accomplished, President Bak-
er and General Manager Slaughter will
direct their attention to an effort in
having the present round trip fare of
81. so from Wildwood to Philadelphia
over it is believed that this would be
the wise thing to do, and that it would
result in greatly increased travel to the
island. This is of vital interest to every
house owner, as the greater number of
people brought to Wildwood the bet
ter the chance to rent houses and fill
the boarding houses and hotels. The
dir ectors elected for the ensuing year
is as follows:
J. Thompson Baker, P. P. Baker,
Wilbur F. Short, J. H. Slaughter,
Evans G. Slaughter, o. l.. Blackwell,
Albert Hohl, ]. Fithian Tatem, George
N. Smith, Mark B. Reeves, T. s. Cos
lin, Daniel w. Myers, Jed Dubois.
The directors elected are the same as
