BIG EXCURSIONS BOOM


1t is estimated that 10000 excur-
sionists came to Wildwood last Satur-
day and Sunday. There were 1,0OO
on the Reading Saturday and 1900 on
Sunday, which makes a total of $500
On three excursions, and there were
seven more excursions on the Penn
sylvania Railroad. An average of 600
autos entered Wildwood via the Rio
Grande bridge per hour.
One thousand people visited Wild
wood in Blauner's excursion. They
held a carnival on the beach and
danced in the Ocean Pier ball room.
Quite a crowd gathered on the beach
to watch the fun of the holiday makers
from Philadelphia. Among the games
was a shaving tournament wherein
the girls shaved the boys (poor fell
bws!) with a tablespoon and much
gusto. The crowd was intensely par
nsan. A tub-of-war also excited much
interest. And we can't forget to men
lion Rosie de Qveen from de Mod
els." All of Blauner's manikins were
present in daring bathing suits. The
crowd on the beach of course blushed
and looked away. Of course! All and
all it was a very successful excursion,
md of the kind we like to have pa
tronize our town.

URGENT NEED FOR WEEKEND
SHORE EXCURSION RATES

In the interest of the public welfare,
the seashore hotel men and women,
as we'll as the railroads themselves,
the International Railway Journal
suggests a revision of fares downward
as applied to the seashore excursion
business.
Especially do we suggest a week.
end rate FRIDAY to Monday at a tariff
sufficient t o provide the city jewellers
of moderate means a two or three
days needed relaxation, and a new
lease of life at the ocean side.
For the thousands sweltering in the
city at this season of the year. for
the aged and inirm, for the tired
mothers and fathers, and for the babes
we ~speak-surely they are entitled to
consideration.
AS for the hotel proprietors, the
weekend excursions would prove a
boon. The present rates have de-
creased their patronage, and these
hardworking business people should
also be considered. By all means give
them an opportunity to C this
needed weekend business.
From the railroad standpoint the
weekend excursions should prove
profitable. The daily excursions while
of benefit might be made considerably
more so. The public, as well as the
shore hotels, want the weekend ex-
cursions, so why not let them have it?
The sooner the better for all con-
cerned.

ANOTHER AUTO COLLIDES WITH
PENNSY TRAIN

The car of John G. Long, of Mill

Pennsylvania Railroad train at the
Lincoln avenue crossing last Sunday
afternoon. Mrs. Long, who was in

jury by leaping from the a just be-
fore the crash. Mr.. Long was slightly
injured and their daughter, Sarah,

ment went by train the same day to
their home in Millville.

The Story Of
Our States
!, By JONATHAN BRACE
~X.-VIRGINIA
CD: g: =: :: :: : :: :: !: !: !.
vi ILL the name of
W. NNSS%W Capt. John
N<~sss T1eEW Smith. 1t was
~ his indom-
liable spirit which enabled the
settlement at jamestown to sur
vive the privations and difficult
ties that encompassed 1t during
those first years. There in 1907
was made the first permanent
English colony In America. The
charter given by King James I
to what was known as the Lon
don company, under whose aus
pices jamestown and the later
Virginia settlements were found
ed, designated that this colony
should extend 200 miles north
and 200 miles south of Old
Point Comfort and stretch west
ward to the sea. Under the reign
! of Charles II 1t was considered
such an important colony that 1t
J was called the fourth dominion
, of his empire, that is, England,
( Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
|, From this Virginia was often
!, called the Old Dominion. The
!. name Virginia itself means the
!, virgin land and was so called
after Queen Elizabeth. the "Vir-
gin Queen" The early govern
ment of Virginia Is Of great in
terest. At first communism was
tried, under which system the
land and all property was owned
in common and all profits were
divided equally. This proved a
disastrous failure. In 1919 the
first real representative govern
ment in the colonies vas estab-
lished, called the house of bur-
gesses, which continued in force
under varying fortunes until Vir-
ginia Joined the Union and be-
came the tenth state in 1888.
Much might be written of the
character of the early Virginian
settlers and their great influence
on American life. From Virginia
has sprung two other states,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Even so, the states present area
is 1927 square miles. Politi-
cally the Old Dominion state is
entitled to twelve presidential
electors. This Is about the aver
age of the southern states.

Heavy oil is the secret of the melodious
timbre of Cremona vielins, according to
German professor, who intends to start
workshop for production of artificial mas
ter violins this winter. He believes that
the resonance is particularly due to the
regularity of vibrations caused by dense
wood. He acquires density in the wood BY
painting the violins with mixture of
rapidly drying oils, which penetrate the
wood, making it especially resonant.-Ex.

1t is said that the bear for this feast is
raised from a cub, sucked by an Ainu
woman. AS the end of the year draws
nigh they fatten the feast bear for the
coming celebration with carefully prepared
foods. The killing of the bear is done in
curious way. Two fair-sized logs are
lashed one above another, to standing
tree, and extend horizontally resting upon
the ground. The entire clan takes part in
the killing, which is accomplished by put
ting the head of the animal between the
logs and squeezing out its life.

NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE
BY M. W.

ny
1t was the thirty-frst of December
And the hours of midnight was drawing
near,
When Father Time awoke to remember
That the old years report he still had to
hear
He called his servant, the "Northwind,"-
bowling
Around the house and through the door;
To bring the old year for an immediate
hearing
On its past activities on sea and shore.
And the "Northwind" departed with his
usual bowling
For the weather was nasty and the snow
was wet.
His features assumed look of scowling
For he knew the old year was in a cabaret
Surrounded by gaiety, dancing and laugh
And drink more then half of one per cent
While the efigy of Volstead, hanging from
rafter,
Was jeered by the crowd midst music and
song.
He beckoned the old year to follow him
quickly
And it-Knowing well Father Time
could get sore
Arose with face pasty white and sickly
And hastily slipped through the nearest
door.
A-straddle the "Northwind" it soon reached
the mountain
Where "Father Time" for millions of
years
Every twelve months from the eternal
fountain
Brought new hope and faith to a world
of tears.
The old year cowed low as it neared its
master
Who watching his sand clock with care
full eye,
Looked up and urged the Old Year to
hurry faster
For he had heard the New Years i'm
patient cry.
He closed up the book of the year that was
passing
With all its accomplishments down below
Cut the red tape and the Old Years gass-
ing,
And rung down the curtain to a by-gone
show.
All "has beens" are dead, the will bes"
are reigning
ne new rear is mere full OF pep and
kick.
He's busy bird and hates detaining,
When he's called by world that's very
sick.
So Father Time, ever known as sensible
fellow,
Signed the Old Years discharge with a
sigh
And then in voice that was warm and
mellow
Bade the New Year enter and come nigh.

A blue-eyed youngster, bare and naked
Except an opera hat and sash tied with

But listen Old Timer-just go easy

You'll hand me the mitt and call me son.

Beneath the hammer blows of greed and

"Will awaken them once more to trust and
faith,
"And bow its head in sweet surrender;
"Not to the sword but to the pen
"That's writes Christ's words so sweet
and tender,
"Be ye brotherhood of men.
"Now Father Time,-the Old Year ended
"I'm glad had my little say
Though the world is torn yet l will
mend it;
$50 here's ta-ta I'm on my way"
And Father Time who knew winner
And never yet has bet wrong
Placed all his dough on the little grinner
After saying, "Good luck"-and then $50
long!"-
And stretching himself he called to the
Northwind
Though he knew him to be an awful
mootch
Come in and get warm, get rid of your
ice-rind
And bring in that bottle of homemade
hootch
And after a while those two celebrating
Rose up to toast that sounded true
Here's to the New Year we've all been
awaiting

MIRRORETTES

May all your expectations be fulfilled
in the New Year.
Mass was held in the chapel Sunday
morning by Father Barry.
The re-fnishing and vanishing of the
dining room tables add greatly to their
appearance.
What did Fred Webber mean by re-
ferring to "Ob," after Joe Rolfe, as the
Swede, had given his skit?
Did you notice how Dr.. Newman's
pockets were bulging out Christmas night?
Just little Christmas cheer that he was
passing out to the boys.
The management served splendid
repast to all of those who participated in
the show Monday. A good dinner, to
good people, in recognition of good deed,
well done.
Corridor privileges were granted the
inmates Monday morning and the oppor-
tunity was taken advantage of to renew
acquaintance and to extend the greetings
of the season.
-One hundred forty boxes of apples,
eight hundred sixty-four pounds of candy
and eight hundred forty pounds of peanuts
were used in the "makings" of our Christ
mas packages. Each inmate received one
half peck of apples, one pound of candy
and one pound of nuts.
We are just able to state, and keep
within the confines of truth, that we had
white Christmas. One thing is certain and
that is that we can not use that old stero-
typed expression, "the ground was covered
with blanket of snow," the cover was
little too thin for that, so we will modify
it and say that "the ground was covered
with sheet of snow"
1t may be great relief to your mind
if you look upon this incarceration as a
probationary period, which was given you,
to realize the words of great seer, that
"the delight Of doing good, originating in
love and operating by wisdom, is the soul
and essence of heavenly JOY" and to pre-
