roll" The roll was called and the vote
stood 2 to l for the passage Of the reso-
luton. A motion was next made by
Commissioner Smith that VIM. 3.
Crawford be appointed chief of police,
and carried in the same manner, Mayor
Hendee protesting against the act as
an interference with the affairs OF his
department.
Officer Crawford was sent for and
soon presented himself before the
board Of commissioners ostensibly for
the purpose of being sworn in as
chief of police. Before the city clerk
administered the oath however, the
mayor objected tothis step being taken,
and warned MI. Crawford that as an
officer of the police force he was, as
such, in duty bound to heed all re-
quests of the mayor and his already
appointed acting chief Of police, A. H.
Sherlock, Mr.. Crawford was further
given to understand that his failure to
comply with the requests Of the mayor
and his acting chief of police would be
Just cause for his expulsion from the
police force.
Officer Crawford replied that he was
there to do "what a majority OF the
board of commissioners wanted him tc
do" With uplifted hand he then took
the oath of office as chief of police.
The last motion to be passed at the
instance of Commissioners Smith and
Bright was that the franchise phone
still in the residence of the late chief o
police, Lester w. Smith, be removed
therefrom to the house of Officer
William S. Crawford. The mayor
again objected, but in vain. Carried,

A sad drowning accident occurred
last Saturday about noon in the vlcln-
ity of the Ocean Pier, when Michael
Holl, of 1900 south Sixth street, Cam
den, a foreman in the employ OF the
McAndre VS. & Forbes Co. licorice plant,
swan out beyond his depth and soon
sank from sig ht. His body has not
yet been recovered, Mr.. Holl came
down last Saturday with the big an
nuaI excursion of the manufacturing
Company referred to. Two other accl-
dents happened on our beach the past
week. One was a drowning at noon
OH Tuesday when Samuel Robinowitz,
Is years of age, went down to his death
in the fog and the waves at the foot OF
Rio Grande u He was a SON Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Abraham Robinowltz, Of
6028 Spruce street, Philadelphia, but
who are summe1ing here in Wildwood
at the corner of Park boulevard and
Rio Grande avenue. The third death
was that of Mrs. Lillian g. John, "a
years old, of 4340 north Second street,
Philadelphia. While bathing in the
ocean Monday morning she was strick-
en- with heart failure, and died shortly
after she was rescued from the water.
Her husband was bathing with her
and had left the water before his wife
was ready and went to their rooms at
the Griffith cottage, Burk and Pacific
avenues. He heard of the body wait
ing for Identification and was Mortified
to find that it was his wife. She had
fallen over in shallow water, and the
bathers nearby at first thought she was
sitting down. DR.. M. Schlos bonn, of
Pittsburg, a guest at Hotel Dorsey, was
called in both cases, as none of the To-
cal physicians could be found at the
time the accidents occurred. He issued
a death certificate in each case.

island. Havana had been for more than a century the focus of yellow fever infection for all of the northern hemisphere. When he left Cuba in 1902 the island had been cleaned up and Havana, where previously from 200 to 1900 had annually succumbed to yellow fever, since has been vir tually free from the disease.
 While in the canal zone, General Gorgas visited Guayaquil and mapped out plan to rid that city, long known as the 'pesthole of the Pacific" from the yellow fever scourge and his plan was in process of execution when the great war began.
 Soon after the United States entered the world war General Gorgas an nounced the organization of the eXten- sive system devised for the "reco1- struction" of soldiers crippled in the war which included the blishnlent of orthopedic hospitals behind the fir ing lines in France, reconstruction hos pitals in the great centers of America aud the retaining of crippled m an and preparation for resuming their voca- tons or learning new ones.
 General Gorgas reached the age limit while still on duty in Frarce in 1918. When the war was over he was retired from active service ill the asmy. Subsequently, in 1919 bc was head of the yellow fever commission o gaEjzed by the Rockefeller fouuda- ton and in that capacity made an ex- tensive tour of Central and South America to direct the work of eradicat- ing yellow fever from some of it's breeding centers, notably in Peru and Ecuador.
 King George of England conferred upon him in June, 1920, the decora- tion of knight commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.
 General Gorgas was born in Mobile, Ala, October 3, 1854, the son of a Confederate general. He was gradu- ated from the University of the South in 1875. He was appointed a surgeon in the United States army in 1880. While in London in June, 1920, on his way to South Africa to again improve sanitary conditions there, he was taken ill and it was announced that he had previously suffered a stroke of apoplexy.

RkFFIA TO ORNAMENT WELLS
Material Is Among Other Novelties Used to Make Face Coverings
 Attractive.

The most striking feature in the lew spring millinery is the return of he loose flowing veil, which is worn carelessly thrown over the toque or hat, falling over the shoulders at the back, the front length merely coming Town little below the eyes.
 The embroideries and applique work on these veils are most elaborate and varied. One of the newest ideas in this line is the use of black patent pIiqued on the net, either in bands, discs or elaborate cut-out designs.
 A fine make of colored kid is also made use of In the same style. Cut out fruit designs are the favOrites. The kid is cut out In the shape of the fruit, tinted in natural colors and ap- pliqued on the act, with buttonhole stitch in silk to match.
 A handsome we'll is in navy blue filet net with border of cut-Out red kid in a cherry design, showing green leaves embroidered In silk.
 Raffia is also being used to ornament wells. Deep struggling designs are ap- propriate for this work. A shade of jade green raffia on black or tete de negre brown net is unusually effective.
 Cretonne applique on veils is again in vogue A motif of flowers and leaves is so placed as to cover the up- f,,r,oo1 hY.iro of fho hat rnakinv all further trimming unnecessary.

To Remove Rust Stains.

Iron rust has a most astonishing way of appearing on garments. Some times a pin will be 8 bit rusty and leave two little brown spots in a most conspicuous place. Wet the spot with a drop of lemon juice, add salt and put on more lemon juice. Put in the sun and when the salt Is dry the rust spot will be gone. If the su2 refuses to put in an appearance for the day, hold the stain with it's saturated solu- ton of lemon juice and salt over steam. The rust will be removed.

FAILURE OF INLAND
 WATERWAYS

me cOnQltlOnS and prospects of inland water transportation are being reviewed in the Engineering News Record by Charles Whiting Baker, consulting editor, as the result of a thorough investigation to determine whether the government ought to con- tinue its lavish expenditure on inland rivers. His conclusions are summar- ized as follows:
 The investigation shows that navi- gation on inland rivers and canals has all but disappeared. Even on the Mis- sissippi river and the New York barge canal, once the most used water routes in the United States, little traffic of consequence now remains.
 The reason for the disappearance of the boats is found to be that the cost of carrying freight by boat has now become almost everywhere greater than the cost by rail. The waterways are free; the channels the boat uses are made and maintained at the cost of the taxpayers, yet the boat lines are now unable to compete with the rail- way, which has to pay the entire cost of the road which it uses.
 Even more important than the com parative cost of hauling by water and by rail is the cost of handling the freight at the terminals. The railway car, which travels over private tracks to the interior of plant or factory or warehouse, has an advantage that the boat cannot possibly overcome.
 Recent attempts by private capital to revive water transportation in the Mississippi valley have been complete financial failures, says MT. Baker. The government operated boats are thus far having the same experience. The federal railway administration has in vested over s14,000,000 in boats which it is running on the New York barge canal and the Mississippi and Warrior rivers. These boats have cost to oper- ate over half million more than they have earned from freight; and this operating expense includes nothing for interest and depreciation on the boats.
 Even the coastwise steamship com panies, which use existing water ter minals and have the deep water of the xxrI,io %O difficult to compete with the railways that many of the lines have been aban- doned.
 Unless goods can be carried more cheaply by water than by rail, when all the elements of cost are included, navigation on rivers and canals will not be revived, and money spent on river and canal improvements and maintenance is wasted. .....
 The government, says MT. Baker, has, never made a thorough unbiased investigation of inland water trans pOrtation to determine whether outlay for it's benefit was justified, but con- tinues to blindly appropriate millions of dollars annually for inland rivers in response to a nation wide propa- ganda for such appropriation which is carried on in complete ignorance of the fact that the. changed economic conditions of the present day have put the waterway out of the running.
 The urgent necessity of economy in all public expenditures makes this a favorable time to put an end to ap- propriations to benefit navigation where no navigation of consequence can ever exist.-Railway and Marine News.

The New York World says the Re- publicans have attempted to turn the political clock back to 1900. Recalling what has been done to them in the past seven years people really wish that could be done; as it is, it is up to the Republican party to wind up and set going the clock that has been stopped by the bungling of the pres ent national administration.

MAJ. GEN. VIM. c. GORGAS

Major General William c. Gorgas, who died Sunday in London, was con- sidered one of the worlds foremost authorities on military medicine and surgery. He fought and defeated the malarial mosquito in Panama and thus made possible the building of the great waterway across the isthmus. He dis lodged yellow fever from its century old stronghold in Havana, and under the direction of the United States gov ernment and the Rockefeller founda- tion supervised campaigns against that dread disease in Central America, Peru and Ecuador.
 At the invitation of the British gov ernment he went to South Africa in 1913 to establish sanitary conditions in the Rand, as a result of which he received high honOrs from the medical profession in London and Oxford uni versity conferred degree upon him.
 In the last ten years his services were sought to give battle to plaques in many parts of the world. When the typhus epidemic began in Serbia have him undertake the campaign against it, but at that time he was needed to direct the medical and sur gical work for the American army in France.
 He was decorated by the French government and made a commander of the Legion of Honor and knighted by King George of England, the latter for, as the king expressed it to him, making possible the construction of the great canal.
 In the days of the old French com pany which attempted to build the canal, tropical diseases annually claimed one-fourth of all it's workers ~ The French were powerless before this pestilence.
 When General Gorgas became gen. eral sanitary officer of the canal com. mission, the annual death toll had been reduced but it was still difficult to obtain the vast army of workmen necessary and to care for those dis abled by malaria, yellow fever and dysentery.
 In recognition of his services he was made a member of the isthmian commission and served as such until he was made surgeon-general
 In nine years, by a systematic cam paign for the destruction of the mos quito, General Gorgas virtually drove these diseases from the isthmus When he gave up the work to accept the post of surgeon general in the army in 1914, deaths among the canal workers had been reduced to five per thousand annually. Congress, in rec. ognition of his achievement, made him a major general and the world hailed him as one of the great men of medi- cal science.
 His work in combating yellow fever in Havana began when he went to Cuba with the rank of major in the Spanish war. When the war ended he remained as sanitary officer of the
