question was as to how much more
efficient a truck was than horses and
wagons.

CARELESSNESS

1t has been frequently noticed
around our beautiful city of Wildwood
the carelessness with which people
leave broken bottles, etc., in the
streets where passing motorists will
puncture their tires.
For instance, a few nights ago we
observed some small boys throwing
pop bottles against the side of the
boardwalk on Oak avenue near the
Casino Danceland, where the patrons
of the boardwalk park their cars. Be-
ing public spirited, we pointed out
this fact to the boys and they ceased
their bombardment of the unoffending
boardwalk. A little later we found,
on one of the residential streets of the
Crest, a pile of two or three broken
bottles in the gutter.
If the grown people of Wildwood
would only exercise a little more judg-
ment themselves and help to train the
young children to exercise their judg-
ment, perhaps we wouldn't have so
many punctured tires in town.

solemnly inquiring: How do you short.
alize secretary here?" He was told the
office style of abbreviating, but the nick.
name "Shortalize" was his from that day
forth.
"Shortalize' had worked in nearly
every large printing office, except some
in the largest cities, in the United States
and Canada. He was thrifty. When he
reached our office he usually liked to
stay for some time, partly because the
editor had a dog which helped Short

was in the lean 7O's, when prices after
the war were so high they almost touched
the sky-or %present-day records. Short

did his marketing, old Rover, the editors
dog, used to accompany him. Short.
alize," pointing to the animal, would ask
for "fve cents worth of meat for the
dog"
Rover was a large Newfoundland, with
a peculiarly hungry expression. The
dealer, after a glance at the animal, and
knowing that his owner was a lone bach.
elor and boarded at the sorry village
"hotel," was usually very generous. In
those days a nickel would buy enough to
last several meals, so "Shortalize'' would
live high ON next to nothing.
Alexander Cameron, a Scotsman, was
a most lovable, most irritating and a
most amusing specimen of this type of
travelling knight-errant. Aleck had been
working in a certain office for some time,
when he incurred the wrath Of his en-
ployer because of a breach of discipline.
Alexander came to work just as if he
had not received his discharge.

boss. You're discharged. You can't

Alexander Cameron calmly continued
removing his coat and rolling up his shirt
sleeves.
did you hear what l said, Aleck?"
demanded his wrathy superior. "You
may go. You're discharged"
why, Mr.. Lenox," returned Aleck in
a shocked tone. "Do ye think I'll be
mean enough to leave ye now, with all
this work? No, no, Mr.. Lenox. Ye little
know Alexander Cameron if we think
that. I'll never desert ye, Mr.. Lenox,
never! Just count on Aleck every time"
He stayed"
The third and lowest class of printers
comprised those who simply drifted into
the business, or who failed to make good
at the trade. From this class came the
genuine tramp printer. He is still with
us. The quality, never very good, has
been steadily deteriorating, and the mod
ern tramp printed is more tramp" and
less printer than ever before. The gen.
eral public too often has formed its opin-
ions of printers in general from this sorry
class. The old-time tramp printer was
usually "an amoosing cuss," as Artemus
Ward would say.-Publishers' Auxiliary.

BATHING STARTS IN
EARNEST

Last Sunday with its warm, bright
sun brought out many bathers to
the Wildwood beach. Although other
resorts have ~variously modified the
bathing costume, still Wildwood con-
tinues to be the summer visitors
paradise, and rolled stockings and
dimpled knees were very much in
evidence. The temperature of the
water was about IS degrees and was
very enjoyable for bathing, but the
cool, brisk wind made lounging on the
beach Q little uncomfortable, so the
water nymphs enjoyed the beach bath
ing until almost ready to go home,
when they took their cold plunge and
then hurried to the bath house to
make their change into street attire.
The street attire also was very I'M
usual in appearance, and with the
warm sun ripening many new straw
hats and ice cream trousers of the
male promenaders and the v~ari-colored
dresses, hats and hose of the feminine
sex, the boardwalk took on its usual
summer rainbow appearance. 1t was
quite a question whether the weaker
sex" with their bright colors out
classed the new spring neckwear and
shirts of the boys or not, but all did
agree that the combination brought
the one touch to the Wildwood walk
which was necessary to convince the
most skeptical that summer was upon

that Congress would so legislate as to make the cancellation lawful

 make the cancellation lawful
 Reports which have recently come from Europe, however. say that one of the leading financiers of Great Britain has emphatically stated that the loans made by Great Britain in the United States will not be paid, but will be cancelled. That means some thing like repudiation. He claims that it should be cancelled since by reason of these loans the United States profited because in that way protec- tion was proc red in the first two years of the war
 There are certain underlying ques- tions due to the inevitable money mar ket conditions and to the economic relation which would begin and would be continued in case this debt were cancelled. And while the strain i'm posed upon the United States by req son of the instant liquidation without nevertheless, it would beN greater both directly and indirectly with the allies and to some extent with the world Therefore, it is looked upon here as a matter of the highest economic i'm portance that these allied debts be so adjusted As to get them out of the way and when they are adjusted consi- derable relief in world wide money nr arket conditions and the foreign ex change situation Mill if the belief of our own financiers be correct, be speedily secured.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

belief that the statesmen and high authorities of Great Britain either hope for or expect the cancellation of the debt Great Britain owes the United States.
 In fact information comes to New York that a proposition of that kind coming from national authorities would really involve a question of dis honor. The debt was incurred and the loan was made in good faith and it was never suggested that the day would come when Great Britain would ask for it's cancellation. Our own au- thorities say that had there been an understanding that this debt would be wiped out by stroke of the pen in other words he an outright gift of $5, 900, ,000,000, our government could not justly or probably lawfully pass over to our own people from whom the funds came whereby these loans were made possible, the burden of liquidat- ing them.
 If the debt were cancelled, it would mean that it would immediately go back to the people for them to carry.
 ECONOMIC QUESTIONS
 It is not Shylock policy which the United States will follow in carrying ou. negotiations for the refunding of this debt. Ample time will be given through the issue of long time bonds for the payment. Excessive interest is not to be exacted, but the future money market of the United States and of the world and the general economic situation make it inevitable that this debt should be funded. but with sufficient length of life to make easy payments possible.
 Another consideration seems to have been lost2 sight of by considerable number in Europe who are now agitating vigorously in favor of the complete cancellation of all the na- tional debts incurred by the allies. That consideration is based upon. the fact that ft is almost inconceivsbic
