news Goes FAST
Drum.Beat in Africa Has TeIe-
graphic Speed.
Marvellous System Of Signaling Has
? Long Been One Of the Wonders
Of the World.

News is carried by drum-beat in
Africa at q rate as fast as the tele-
graph. writes A. s. Crawley In the
London Daily Mail.
"The natives of Central Africa have
q wonderful system Of signaling from
village to village by drum-beat," he
says.
Generally the property Of the chief,
these official drums, which are many,
forming set Of varying size, are as
rule Of the species known as Incl
sion-drum. This is a long. narrow.
hollow cylinder. made from tree
trunk, with the ends closed.
"The drum is placed in either a
horizontal or vertical position. the for
mer producing the best results. Big
drums carry more than ten miles.
"By relay a message may travel
1000 miles in little more than the
velocity of sound.
1.-The drum-telephone depends upon
an elaborate code Of sounds. Eu-
rOpean travellers often order their din
ner and nights lodging at the next
village by drum-message. The vii
layers use it as we use postal, tele-
graph and telephone service-and
there are no charges.
"For the home service the drum
plays the part also Of the church bell,
the clock, the town crier and the daily
newspaper. For instance, Rev. James
Roscoe, whose African adventures and
discoveries have recently been report
ed, notes that it announced birth
or q death, the new moon and the week
ly fast day.
"To help understanding of the mar
velOus code, as complete as Ian
guage, the remarks of Sir Arthur B.
Ellis (writing Of West Africa) are in
point:
ITO a European the rhythm of q
drum expresses nothing beyond a re-
petition Of the same note at different
intervals of time, but to native ii
expresses much more. To him the
drum can and does speak, the sounds
produced from it forming words and
the whole measure of rhythm sense.
THUS, at a dance of companies in
one measure they abuse the men of
another company then the rhythm
changes and the gallant deeds Of their
own company are extolled. All this
and much more, is conveyed by the
beating of drums, and the native ear
trained to detect and interpret each
beat, is never at fault"

MIdaet Babies Often Thrive.

Parents whose children are abnor-
mally small at birth can take heart,
for recent figures show that tiny in
fants frequently grow up quite robust,
and Of normal proportions. Accord
ing to the observations Of an English
doctor, a girl baby born ID years ago,
to Mrs. Warwick of Barrow-in-Fur-
ness, for instance, weighed only one
and three-qarter pounds. She now
turns the scale at $50 pounds, and is
an exceptionally healthy and intelli-
gent child.
Even more remarkable is the case
Of Leonard Merrick, who stands over
6 feet high and weighs $50 pounds, all
Drawn and muscle and sinew. At his
birth, % years ago, he weighed only
10 ounces, his head was not much big
ger than a billiard ball, the mouth
was only just about the size Of the
end of pencil, and the mothers we'd
ding ring would slip easily up the arm
as high as the, shoulder.
A baby exhibited at one Of the meet.
ings of the British Obstetrical society
weighed only 20 ounces and the Medi-
cal Times once announced the birth OF
one that turned the scale at exactly
one pound. Both these grew up strong
and healthy, and of normal proper
tons. In short, small infant seems
likely to do as well as a big one, al
ways provided, of course, that it sur.
wives the perils Of babyhoOd.

COUNTY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
SHOWS LARGE INCREASE.

Atlantic County's school attendance
for 1920-1921, according to the County
superintendent annual report, was
better than ii has been for the last
ten years or more. The average for
the county is 1920 as compared with
.S769 the preceding year. Buena Vista
Township for the eighth consecutive
year has again maintained it's record
of first place with an average percent
age of .9377. There is no district in
South Jersey that can beat this rec
ord, at least not in maintaining it for
so long a period. Egg Harbor City
this year has again attained second
rank, a position it held for several
years heretofore. Atlantic City held
second place last year., but lost its
hold, n is now in fourth place.
Somers Point has moved up to third
in the list with a percentage of at
tendance of 1929. Egg Harbor Town
ship has had the greatest increase in
attendance, having gained 10 points
over the preceding year.. All the dis
tricts in the county with the exception
of two have increased their record for
attendance. Districts that have i'm
proved in the attendance to quite a
degree are the following: Absecon,
Folsom, Hamilton Township, Port Re-
public and Weymouth Township. The
complete record and a comparison
with last years attendance is as fol-

MUNICIPAL GROUNDS
ATTRACTlVELY KEPT

Many congratulatory remarks are
heard from residents and visitors on
the attractive appearance of the spaci-
Gus lawn and flower garden at First
street and Washington avenue, adjoin-
ing the City Hall and Fire House,
which is n of the show places of At
lantic County. Just at this season of
the year it is particularly beautiful
because of the yari-colored flowers
that are in bloom. With the large
lawn kept well moved by the city fire
men and the orderly manner in which
the flower beds and borders are laid
out a sight is presented that attracts
both visitors and residents alike.
The arrangement and care of the
flowers is the particular work of Cap
tain Charles Schmidt, who takes the
greatest pride in his work. He begins
early in the season when he cares for
and eagerly watches the Dorothy Pink
rambler roses as they climb to the top
of the bell tower and then burst into
bloom during June, forming a bower
that resembles the descriptions given
oil f%airyland. Then there is the bed Of
assorted geraniums under the fire
whistle tower with its border of
CHRISTMAS Gem Colus. These gera-
NUNS last all summer and are partic-
ularly pretty just nov Next come
the beds of King Humbert Red Can
mas, surrounded by Scarlet Sage.
There are also the beds of Giant
Swiss Zenias with their borders of
Red Colus. Along the side of the
municipal building are arranged as
sorted Snap Dragons and beds of
Giant Zenias and choice varieties of
Atkinson Dahlias, edged with borders
of Sweet William. Varieties of pretty
Astors are also blooming now and a
later will come the pretty chrys-
anthemum which is about the last
flower of the season. All the flowers
are raised and properly cared for
without the aid of a green house. If
this was at command there would even
be a better display than the firemen
now.
