The Supreme Plan

LNARLY in November Jennie and
~ Kenneth were settled in their apart
ment on Park avenue and had begun
to take part in the preliminary ac-
tivities of the social season. But al
ready the wonder Of the apartment,
which had so overwhelmed Jennie when
she first had seen it in August, and of
all the apartment symbolized. had al
most abated. With Jennie it was as it
ever is with those who are ambitious,
who are energetic. who quickly adapt
themselves the daring aspiration. once
it is achieved. swiftly settles into an
accepted and almost commonplace fact
of life. and becomes in it's turn merely
the taking off point for another flight
into vet higher realms. BY the day she
began living in it Jennie was accus-
tomed--almost, that is-to her won
drously lofty home, and within the
privacy of her smooth, girlish forehead
she already had plans looking far into
the future.
Even during the bewildering days fol
lowing her unexpected engagement. she
had dimly perceived certain distant
contingency. and she had reached Ger
tain conclusion and after her marriage
all her thinking along this line had
made that conclusion seem more wise
and necessary. Her conclusion was
that us a wife she had to be the most
successful wife possible; to be less might
be failure. She knew that Kenneth was
infatuated with her just then but she
had enough O. mature woman's wis
dom-in her case it was as much
precocity as it was the remembrance oi
the roughly direct human nature of hel
early youth--to know that after year
or even less, the thrill and glamour OF
the initial infatuation may begin tc
subside and the man inevitably may
begin to reckon the material consequence
of what he has done. She realized that
Kenneth, in marrying her instead OF
Gloria, or Gloria's equivalent. had
sacrificed both wealth and assured
social position which such q wife would
have brought as dowry.

Who is to Blame?

Last week the Journal published
an article about one of our citizens
being arrested for gambling and
bootlegging, and since then we
have been asked to correct same
by the party interested.
We are not in position to cor
rect the article as we know nothing
of the case only that it was
Clipped" from an Atlantic paper
and was given proper credit, and
feel that we have no apologies to
make as we We're not author of the
news.
The party says he was not ar
rested for bootlegging but for gam
bling; and if an injustice has been
done him, then the parties respon-
sible for the article should be the
ones to correct same.
1t is not the Journals intention
to misrepresent facts, and it will
not do so, and as this article was
taken from another paper, and
said paper given proper credit for
it, we can do no more, and can
only say that we are sorry that an
injustice has been done the gentle
man in question and hope that
everything viii! turn out all right.

A "Fast" Game

4 The ball game which was sche-
1uled to take place at the Ath-
letic Park in Extra last Sunday
proved to be a foot-racing match
between our boys and Hamlin. 1t
was real interesting as a foot
race but would hardly pass mus

However, our boys proved them
selves adopts at the game and
came through with colors flying,
taking first prize by running 20
rounds to Hamlin's l6. And that
was all.

THRILLING ADVENTURE
FOR YOUNG LAD
Seven Year Old Son of For
RI mer Extra Girl Washed
thru Drain Pipe.

< Robert Budd Andrews, grandson
of l. S. Andrews, living north of At
! lantic, is only Z years old, but he
1 had as narrowing an experience as
| you ever saw in movie thriller,
with the added punch of it's being
true. Moreover, Robert took it Just
as coolly as your favorite screen
athlete.
The experience consisted of being
washed through a ten-lnch drain
pipe, right out into the Pacific
ocean. Did he get hurt? Well not
enough to spoil his taste for the ice
cream cones and attentions shower
ed upon him by those who saw and
learned of his escape.
1t all happened like this;
Robert, with his mother, Mrs.
Louie Andrews-Fox, and his elder
brother, James came from Beattie,
Wyo., to spend short time at Re-
dondo, Calf. Like every other kid
die that comes to the beach, the
plunge was the first thing he made
, for. Late in the afternoon, the baby
| pool was cleared of swimmers, and
preparatory to giving it a good
securing, the men began draining
Eout the water.
Robert was standing near the
outlet, when in some way he slipped
and fell directly into the pipe and
disappeared. The outlet is a ten
inch pipe, twelve to fourteen feet
long, leading into the outlet tunnel
lnder the plunge. Everyone thot
the boy would get stuck in the pipe
for it has two elbows. The attend
ants shut off the water, while Others
rushed to the ocean outlet. When
they reached the ocean outlet, there
was Robert, climbing up the rocks
without assistance. He was taken
to the plunge hospital, and his
3scratches and bruises cauterized
7 and bandaged.
/ Not a tear did he shed. "What
would | cry for?" asked he. "Tm
seven years old; its only wimmen
hn' babies cry. | thought I'd never

OUR WEATHER EYE
How Voters Do 1t

1t is often amusing to hear the
professional followers of the politi-
cal game trying to account for the
results after the election is over.
There appear to be some of these
persons in the county who can not
see yet how the minds of the voters
operated at the recent primary.
10 them, the Journal is offering
the following valuable tips as to
the psychology of the voters minds
during political campaign.
Voters require fair play on the
part of the contestants. If any
candidate takes unfair advantage
OF his opponent, that opponent
will be the large gamer at the bal
lot box, provided the voters know
OF the circumstance. This is the
Just penalty of unfair tactics; and
from this penalty there is no escape
Tor him who resorts to questionable
means of attaining his ends.
Given fair play, voters sift out,
unconsciously perhaps but still
carefully and painstakingly, the
facts that are significant and essen
tlal in each mans case. Neither
dust, nor smoke, nor noise, nor any
other thing, can interfere seriously
with their process. Out Of a maze
OF contradictory argument, they
pick unerringly the facts that
count, even though the latter be
few IN number; and without preju-
dice or partiaity, they draw from
these essential facts the decisions
which they register later at the
polls.
To these who believe that voters
stand for fair play, that even in the
heat OF controversy they are win
moving out the essential facts, that
they think clearly from these facts
to justified conclusion, and that
in reaching this conclusion, they
are guided solely by what seems to
them RIGHT, there is not much
mystery in the outcome of elections.
The politicians, however, do not
believe these things, which accounts
for their perplexlty over the cleo
ton results.
Of course, even when voters are
following this procedure, many
good men must be defeated. De-
feat does not in any sense mean
public condemnation, but merely
that the claims Of another candi-
date seemed to the voters to be the
greater.
Despite some obvious slips, our
Weather Eye tells us that the poll
ticians received a severe setback at
the recent primary; that the old
familiar type of machine politics is
for the time being dead IN our
county; that it will probably re-
main dead for some time; and that
in the meantime, the men who de-
pend upon cunning schemes and
artful deception in politics will
probably not get along very we'll in
our midst.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted to the men who believe
that voters are bought, and sold,
and hoodwinked, and brow-beaten,
and inundated, and cajoled, and
deceived, and influenced in divers
other ways to vote according to
the will and design of their politi-
cal bosses and overlords.

SUBSTITUTE SMALL JIB TOP.
SAILS FOR BALLOON JIBs.

Al 25O, Resolute being well ahead
the Wind hauled to westward so that
both yachts substituted small tib top
sails for their balloon jibs. A little
later, the wind being at about south
east, they began beating toward the
mark.
When at 2.36 Shamrock turned 10
the starboard tack and headed on. to
sea, with the Resolute doing the
same tack, the two were perhaps east
OF the BrarChport smokcstack. At
Alb they were still heading out to
sea in the same latitude, but sham
rock was as much rs two miles nearer
the Ulster Yacht Club house than
Resolute, but exactly what the rela-
tive distance to the turning point was
could not be easily estimated. How
ever, this was a matter Of academic
interest only, for the wind was not
only less dangetOus than at any pre-
vious hour Of the race. but II was
more variable. Both yachts drifted
TO a half dozen points of the compass
in half an hour, and the turn boat
was, as said, much further away than
when the two began the board out
TO sea.
