Sense Qualities.

Instead Of there being only i've
senses as we usually think, there are
probably as many as Is. Four dis
tinct senses, for example, are found
in the skin. These are. heat, cold, pain
and pressure. What we usually call
touch is combination of these sense
qualities.

DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING FUNNY
Sunday School Scholar Couldn't Cutie

years old. For six days a week he
is a 100 per cent mischievous and
thoroughly rough-and-ready boy. But
On Sundays-well, he'd make Booth
Tarkington's Edgar take second
prize. On Children's day Edward was
given two lines of a scriptural quota
ton to repeat when his name was
called. They were: ASK and We
shall receive; seek and We shall find"
Sunday morning Edward reported to
his mother letter perfect-as they say
backstage. An hour later his teacher
called the roll.

An Excellent Ironing Surface.

To make an ironing board on which
it is a joy to iron, take one roll Of
cotton batting such as is used for COM
forts. Spread the cotton batting even
~ over the beard and fasten over this
cover made from unbleached muslin,
lacking it down around the sides of
the board. An extra length of muslin
or unbleached muslin which can be
easily washed should be used as an
outer cover.

STORY TELLING CONTEST
AT EGG HARBoR CITY

The Atlantic County Storytelling
Contest held in Aurora Hall, Egg Har-
Dor City, last Tuesday evening was an
expression of the interest and enthu-
siasm called forth by a desire to excel
and the fine premium, a beautiful gold
watch as a reward of effort, donated
by Mr.. Fred r. Smith. Thirteen
school districts sent their representa-
tives who were accompanied by a
number of their friends. Aurora Hall
was divided into as many sections as
there We're contestants and a section
assigned to each group. The children
who took part in the contest, the best
in various localities selected by COM
petition, ranged in ages from ten to
about fourteen years, the youngest
probably being Miss Dorothy Allen, of
Absecon. Little Miss Allen, in a
charming and graceful way, recited
1.-The Dress of Scraps" and captured
third place. Second place was taken
by Miss Eunice Wolfe, of Scullville
School, and the first award was made
to Miss Clara Slack, of Hammonton,
her story being THE Story of Epami-
nondas."
One of the striking things that hap
pened was a story by f~ive-year-old
Charles Merchant, of Somers Point.
This little chap held his audience
spellbound by the rendition of a little
story, THE Boy and His Goat" that
eXemplified a more than usual pres
ence of mind and memory.

The Red Cross drive for members,
which started on Nov. II and will
continue to and including Nov. "a, is
worthy of the cooperation of every
Pleasantville citizen. Old members,
who have kept up their membership
throughout the wal period, as well as
those who do not hold membership,
should bear in mind that this is one
of the most worthy charities in the
world to-day. Its ministrations are
f~ar-reaching in scope, and the local
visiting nurse has proven herself of
inestimable value to this community.
She has been ever ready to respond
to the calls where her services have
been required, and the vast amount
of good that has been accomplished
through this service merits the con-
tinued support of our citizens. Miss
Ida Stephenson, the local school
nurse, is in charge of the Pleasant
vile drive, and membership cards
may be secured at the Red Cross
Room, at the Post Office, and various
other places throughout the city. Let
the citizens generally show their ap-
probation of the unselfish efforts of
this organization by becoming a part
of ii in the 1921 drive.

"WlNKLE CORNER" DINED.

Several of the residents of Wrinkle
Corner" were victims of nightmare in
it's most horrible forms last Monday
night, and most of them imagined
they had been roasted and served at
a meal over which presided such wild
animals as "possums" and rabbits and
squirrels and chickens. The cause of
all the trouble was Mr.. Walter
Cheeseman, who has spent several
days in the wilds around Chew's Ian
ding, N. j. He used a one-and-a-half
ton truck to haul the game home and
then invited in numbers of his friends
to partake of a game supper on Mon
day evening. To say it was some
supper" is putting it very mild, for
Mrs. Cheeseman is famous for her
cooking, and the game consisting of
opossum, squirrels and rabbits, also
chicken, with all the trimmings that
went with them, were certainly pre-
pared to the queens taste. How
the chicken came to be mixed up with
the wild game is a mystery, but it is
supposed it was shot for a pheasant.
At any rate the supper was thorough
ly enjoyed and there wasn't much of
the game left but the bones, so after
such a hearty meal nightmare had to
be the natural result. Those who par
took Of the supper were: Mr.. and Mrs.
James Ewing, Miss Ruth Ewing, Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Risley, Mrs. Rhine
hardt, Mr.. Harry F. OFT, Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Cheeseman, Mr.. and Miss Du-
berson and Mr.. Cap. Cheeseman. i.

WEAvER,s STORE ROBBED.
Three Young Men Arrested Have the
Loot in Their Possession.

Marauders entered The Weaver
Store on Tuesday night and succeeded
in carrying away a lot of clothing
They opened a real window and theii
first act was to go to a drawer and
take out moccasins which were slip
ped over the shoes to soften any noise
as they moved about. Then the store
was deliberately searched over and
only goods of use now and of good
value were taken. A peculiar fact in
connection with the robbery is that
Mr.. Weaver has a large dog which
had been sleeping in the store every
night until that night, when the dog
slept on the second floor. The dog
had a bed near a register in the floor
and the robbers moved so quietly be-
cause of the moccasins on their feet
that the dog was not disturbed. Mr..
Weaver estimates his loss at $3.50.
Thieves also stole the telephones at
the pay stations at the Electric sta
ton, the Reading station, and other
places in town, for the purpose of Sc
curing the money that was in the
boxes.
Three young men, who give their
names as Charles Clark, aged 16,
Thomas Carney, 16, and Joseph Leeds,
IA, and as residents of Atlantic City,
were arrested at Woodbury. Thursday
morning. When the train made its
usual stop at Mt. Calvary at 7 in the
morning it was boarded by the three
boys. There is no ticket agent at the
station and they rendered the conduc-
tor a collection of dimes, nickels and
pennies in payment of their fare.
Conductor Ennis, who had read of the
numerous Shore Road robberies, not

GEORGE SPITZ KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

While returning to his home in
Somers Point on Saturday night after
making several purchases for his
twentieth wedding anniversary, ]. Geo.
Spitz, who conducted a bakery at the
Point" was instantly killed when the
Ford delivery wagon he was driving
struck the real of a large truck owned
by the Kensington Carpet Company Of
Atlantic City at the corner of Main
street and Park avenue, Pl%easantville.
In the same car were Spitz's two sons
who escaped injury. After making his
daily delivery of bread on the main
land, Spitz was returning, when at
6.45 o'clock, the fatality occurred. The
windshield of the Ford crashed into
the tailboard of the truck ahead, which
it was claimed did not have a tail
light. The tailboard struck the elder
Spitz under the chin, breaking his
neck and almost %severing his head
from the body.

CHURCH WINDOWS DESTROYED.

Some unknown culprit or culprits
deliberately threw large stones through
the loaded glass windows at st. Marks
Church, breaking them in no less than
thirty places. 1t is thought that the
damage was done on Saturday, dis
covery of the b%reakage being made
that afternoon. 1t appears to be the
work of a boy or boys above the age
of Is. 1t is indeed a crying shame
that church property is not safe in
our city. A similar situation occurred
at the same church several years ago
when the perpetrator was apprehended
and admitted his guilt. The city au-
thorities and police are making an in
v~estigation, and when located the
guilty party should receive severe pun
ishment. A person who will destroy
church property is dangerous in a com
munity and not fit to be at large.
