A Sunday Morning Blaze.

The peaceful slumber OF many Wild
wood residents was rudely disturbed
about two o'clock a. m. last Sunday,
when the hoarse, weird warning of tbs
fire whistle blew ST Park and Wild
wood avenues), repeatedly. As the
fire companies rushed to the localiiy
indicated by the alarm, they found The
cottage at the corner of Oak and Hud-
son avenues ablaze and apparently
destined to be entirely consumed. Be-
cause of frozen fire plugs there was
some delay in getting the engines into
action; but fortunately the flames were
confined to the building where the fire
started, and which, with its contents,
is practically a complete wreck. This
cottage was formerly owned by Mrs.
Ada Colsey of Palmyra, N. j. who has
spent many summers in Wildwood.
About a veal ago, Mrs. Colsey sold the
property to Mrs. Carrie Emerson, who
now lives at 800 west Cedar avenue.
Last Octoter Mrs. Emerson disposed OF
her purchase to Mrs. Mary Harris,
wife of Samuel Harris, the keeper OF
the drawbridge on the Reading railroad
in West Wild wood. AS no n was
living in the house, the origin OF the
fire is a mystery. Both the building
and the furniture were projected by
insurance, held by the Holly Beach
Building and Loan Association as
mortg e The fire was discovered
by Mrs. Howard Warrington, who
aroused her husband and he gave the
alarm,

chickens, killed recently by predatory
dogs. The opinion of the city solicitor
was sought in this case, who turned to
to a law book and found that under an
amended act cities are not responsible
for the loss of sheep or other domestic
animals, 0 for fowls. This law ap-
plies only to towns, to townships or viii
lagos. Hence citizens in cities cannot
recover damages from such municipali-
ties for loss of hares or poultry. Claims
in cases of this kind must be made
against the owners of the dogs, alleged
to have caused the death of the domes-
tic animals or fowls.
A letter dated January 31st, Albu-
querke, New Mexico, from former City
Engineer Harry E. Weir, was read.
1t contained a demand for money.
Reference was made to a bill rendered
by Mr.. Weir some weeks ago, in the
sum Of $358.S0, representing services
rendered the city in making $4,000
lineal feet of surveys on streets from
Lincoln to Hildreth Last
July Mr.. Weir was authorized to pre-
pare plans and specifications for the
construction of concrete cutters on all
or portions of the streets named, from
the railroad to the beach, but the ques-
ton of his authority to make the sur
veys was raised, and the matter was
referred to Solicitor Hand. Mr.. Weir
also made the surveys and prepared
the plans and specifications for the
original 500, 900 board walk project
For these services the stipulated price
vas $12 a day for MI. Weir, and 81 for
his assistant. Commissioner Ryan
was understood to say that Mr.. Weir
had rendered a bill for "a days labor on
this contract. At the rate specified
this bill would amount for Mr.. Weir
alone to 1858, to say nothing of the as
~sistant's charges. This bill may seem
big to some of the taxpayers, but they
might not think so if they could see
the elaborate report and plans for the
beach front improvement mailed by
Mr.. Weir some months ago to the Com
m%issioners. Strange to say this won
derful creation was never read nor
given to the public, but on the con-
trary it was promptly p~igeonholed.
Perhaps the figures staggered the Com-
missioners and alarmed them. 1t is
rumored that the beach front expenses
as outlined by Engineer Weir ran into
hundreds of thousands Of dollars. 1t
was lucky for the people that the board
walk propagsndists were stalled for the
present, in the light of this report.
February 18th being a legal holiday
a motion was made to adjourn to meet
on Wednesday, February 11th. This
occurred at $3.50 by the city clock.

Every HOME BUILDER has a desire for a
home that will be out Of the ordinary. Nearly
everyone has an intense desire for the charming
Colonial Homes we see SO often, but yet fail to
reproduce. The hospitable Colonial house paint

gives one a feeling Of security, hospitality and
cheerfulness. No HOME BUILDER today need
hesitate if he has this thought in mind, for 1t is

The Common Touch

I would not be too wise-so very wise
That must at simple songs and creeds,
And let the glare of wisdom blind my eyes
To humble people and their humble needs
I would not to climb high tina.
Could hear the children at 4ir play,
Gould only see the people passing by,
Yet never hear the cheering words they say.
I would not know too much-too much to smile
At trivial errors of the heart and hand,
Nor be too proud to play the friend the while,
And cease to help and know and understand.
I would not to sit upon throne
Or build my house upon a moutain-top
Where must dwell in glory all alone,
And never friend come in or poor man stop
God grant that may live upon this earth
And face the tasks which every morning brings
And never lose the glory and the worth
Of humble service and the simple things

We noted recently that the Independent Voters
Association which is the organization fighting the Non
partisan League North Dakota has initiated five
laws to the forthcoming election. Three
of these laws the Bank of North Dakota one
providing books shall be audited by the state
board of audit requiring the compulsory deposit
only funds in the Bank of North Dakota and
third permitting the bank to loan only to actual
farmers spectators. The fourth proposed
would restore her authority to the state superin
tendent of schools and the fifth would restore the rights
heretofore taken from legal newspapers. Really
any of these proposed laws that is not
good and yet the Nonparsan League is fighting them
all most strenuously.

DECISION ON VOTE
Suffrage Workers Fail to
Despair on Learning Fate
Hinges on Schaffer
NO CHANCE AT PRIMARIES

Workers for suffrage were not thrown
into turmoil Of despair when the news
from Harrisburg reached this city tell
ing. them that the possibility of their
voting in the primaries or even in the
general fall election hinged on the in
terpretation Of the statutes regulating
registration. .
The all ll-important question is. "What
VIII Attorney General Schaffer decide ~
lhere is possibility which some taboo
ana others regard as serious that the
Legislature may have to be called into
special session to amend the law de :
lining an elector. Others declare that
the ratification automatically eliminates
sex from voting statutes.
The attorney general is at present in
the South and not expected to return
before the end Of the month.
"N course. there is not a chance Of
women voting in the primaries in this
state, said Miss Mary Ingham today.
But the attorney general is very close
to the Governor, who is in favor of
suffrage, and the attorney general him
self was OF great help last spring when
the suffrage bill was drafted, giving us
aid from time to time on points of tech :
nicality."
Mrs. Harriet Hubbs, of the Pennsyl-
vania League for Women Citizens, be
lieves that the lack Of proper legislation
is due entirely to an oversight on the
part Of the attorney general.
ut looks very probable that n prac
tical difficulty has been found in the
fact that no measure has been passed
'cre to assess women. 1t would not be
+! possible for women to vote in the pri
maries in any case, for there would not
be sufficient time to assess 1,500, ,00(
women.
Assistants in the department of the
attorney general say that the only solu
| ton is special session which would
cost from $500, 900 to $3.50. 900 unless
! the legislators would be willing to do
nate their services which they have done
in other states for ratification of the
amendment. But even with this the
expenses for hundreds Of necessary
clerks would be very heavy.
1--WE don't know what decision the
attorney general will reach, but We
think that at the same time his opinion
| is laid on the Governor desk. there
should be given also the opinions OF
other constitutional lawyers"
There are three states still necessary
to put the amendment through. Wash

sion the latter part of the month and

ready been voting there. The Legisla

Man alive, but we know each business is

dising requirements.
Were we to have set formula for every
business we advertise and prepare merchan-
dising plans along the lines of cut-and-
dried program, we would soon have no busi-

Our success has come from putting over
propositions that were different'-our
ability to discern that they "were actually
different" and to grasp the salient features
of difference has enabled us to accomplish
our greatest successes.
Each account we have is different-re-

handling. There may be certain broad re-
semblances in basic principles of salesman
ship-but the finer, more subtle, and more
effective features are almost always diff
ferent.
That's why we have an organization of
experts designed to discover points of dis
similarity, features of individuality, that Sc
cure the vital appeal that is characteristic
of each account, that assures its inevitable
success
That's why we have an investigating de-
