To the polka-dot is ascribed an odd
ancestry. Its name, of course, is de-
rived from the polka, an old-fashioned
round dance with three steps to the
measure. This dance, introduced in
Europe by Bohemian, round about
1888, spread to the United States at
the time that Polk was a candidate for
the presidency. The polka-dot was

YOUNGSTER HAD 1T SIZED UP
Possibly His Frank Announcement Of
Situation Was Something More
Than a Guess.

A young teacher of the fourth grade
In one of the township schools near
Indianapolis marked her pupilss pa
pers at her home, and occasionally had
the assistance of some Of her friends
who came in to spend the evening.
One evening the grades were excep-
tlonally low on the papers and the
next day at school, the young teacher
told her pupils that one Of her friends
haG helped her mark the papers and
that she was really ashamed Of the
poor marks, and she wished them to
do better next time.
The next day the marks were con-
siderably higher, so she told the chill
dren how glad she was to see the i'm
provement and that she was proud to
have her friends see how bright the
pupils we're.
After making this announcement,
she blushed to hear one of the boys
say in loud whisper, "H'ml He was
over again last night."-Indlanapolls

Press Comment
Bitter Business


Following the complete breakdown OF
Mayor J Holmes Jackson of Burling-
ton in his proposed plan to stop the
offending officers of the Salvation
Army from holding street meetings
the usual open-a air meeting of the
Army on Saturday night, last week
was attended by a crowd that blocked
the street and necessitated police reg
ulation to keep traffic moving.
The Free Press account says: "The
arrival of Captain Hayman and his
companions was greeted by a burst OF
applause There was no applause for
the mayor; quite the contrary.
Item: A representative of the Free
Press called on the mayor and asked
him to sign ready-made order, in
structing the police force to report all
hOoch foundries 1.-THE term is borrow
ed from a recent Free Press editoriall
on their beats, and all evidence they
might have regarding the making
furnishing or selling of alcoholic
liquors." also asking the mayor to sus-
pend or remove policemen on whose
beats such conditions were found and
convictions followed.
Item: The mayor took his trusty
typewriter in hand and said he would
do no such thing; that the dignity OF
his Office was affronted; that The pco-
pc did not want the law enforced
that the Free Press man could &c
ahead and file his own complaints aud
they would be acted on, etc, etc.
Item: A crowd of bootleg victims
including students, created a young
not in restaurant on Sunday morn
ing, threw pies, cream puffs and sink
ers' about the place, assaulted what
police force there was on hand and
literally wrecked the joint" two stu
dents being finally locked up after an
attempt to rescue them had been re-
pulsed
Item: Fifteen hundred dollars worth
OF Contraband was stolen under the
eyes of the police and spirited away
where, no one knows.
The Herald sympathizes with the
mayor. He is not required by law to
sign orders originating in the Free
Press Office. No newspaper man with
a sense of humor would have present
ed any such absurd document to a
public officer, but
Evidently things are not going well

tue and erudition dwell on the hill and

Ingly the pious and clustered Old Lady
OF the Crooked Stairs has ventured

ierent from the Salvation Army and

CONSIDERING IMPROVEMENTS.

The Official Board OF Wesley
Church met in special session last
Friday evening to consider plans and
specifications for the contemplated
Improvements to the church edifice.
Committees reported upon the prob
able cost of the project, and it was
decided that $4,000 would be required
to carry out the work as outlined.
There was a unanimous expression by
those present that the improvements
should be made and the matter was
put before the congregation of the
church Sunday morning and evening.
II will again be presented next Sun
day and during the following week a
congregational meeting will be held
to give the members of the church an
opportunity to express their views on
the plans. Much enthusiasm is de
v~eloping among the members and
friends OF the church, and it is ex-
pected very little opposition will be
encountered.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Board was held Monday evening, at
which routine business was transacted
and the r%enovating plans further dis
cuSsed.

Travellers Defeated
By Keystone Club
Many Veteran Players on Both
Teams - Nelson Led Off
with Home Run.

The Pleasantville Travellers baseball
team went to Atlantic City on Satur-
day to stack up against the strong
Keystone Club and the result was a
score of 22-2 in favor of the Maroon
and Gold aggregation. There were a
number of seasoned veterans on both
teams, but the Keystone crowd was
too crafty for the local team.
IKE" Nelson, for the keystone
Club, hit his first four-bagger of the
season, and Eddie Miller also swatted
the ball in lively fashion. Hpsbach
pitched for Keystone and won his
third consecutive game. The Travel
ers started off with a vim and added
a run to their score right at the be-
ginning of the contest. They could
not keep up the fast pace set by Key
stone, however. Booye started to
pitch for the Travellers, but was later
replaced by Dump" Adams. In the
eighth inning the Keystone slab art
lists found his number for 8 runs.
The first game for the Travellers on
their home ground will be played next

Act Amended at Last Session of
State Legislature Covering
Local Waters.
Bait Fishing Allowed
Published in Full for Benefit
of Many Inquiring Net
Fishermen.
Penalty Is Fifty Dollars

The Ple|asantville Press has had so
many inquiries from fishermen in this
locality in reference to the new net
fishing law, passed at the recent ses-
sion of the New Jersey Legislature,
which affects all the waters in this
territory, that we take pleasure in
publishing the law in full. 1t is
known as Chapter 30, of the laws of
1922, and is as follows:
An Act for the preservation of fish in
the waters of the County of Allan
tic, and in the waters of Great Bay,
Little Egg Harbor Bay, Rainbow
Bay and Great Egg Harbor Bay ad.
jacent thereto.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
General Assembly of the State of New
Jersey:
1. 1t shall be unlawful for any per
son or persons to set, haul or use any
gill net, drift net, seine or fyke net
in any of the inland tidal waters of
the County of Atlantic or in any of
the waters of Great Bay, Little Egg
Harbor Bay Rainbow Bay, or Great
Egg Harbor Bay adjacent thereto, be-
tween the fifteenth day of June and
the first day of September, both dates
inclusive of each year; provided, how
ever, that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to prevent the TAX

fish.
2. Any person or persons violating
any of the provisions of this act shall
be liable to a penalty of fifty dollars

ing judges were from Rutgers Col
lege, and had been sent to act when
the Haddon Heights school heads had
failed TO agree on judges from a list
of persons, including lawyers, minis
tiers, newspaper men and school
heads, which had been submitted to
them.
1t was said by those who attended
the debate that ever the Haddon
Heights students were so sure that
Pleasantyille had won the contest that
they were greatly surprised when the
decision was finally announced. The
Pl|easantville team, if they have not
already done SO, are considering an
appeal to the President of Rutgers
College to stop the award of the ban
ner to Haddon Heights. The local

CITY NOW HAS
K|WAN|S CLUB
Meeting for Permanent Organi-
cation This Tuesday at
Mortified Country Club.
Record Is Established

Only a few days ago., comparative
ly speaking, some n suggested that
there should be a Kiwanis Club or
ganized in P~leasantville. The matter
was discussed among a few of the
leading business men of the city and
the field looked good for such an or
ganization. A preliminary meeting
was held in the Pleasantville Trust
Company building and the originators
of the movement started out to get
prospective members. 1t was expect
ed that it would take some weeks to
get things in shape for organization.
The notice of temporary secretary
Howard Mcconnell for the meeting to
be held this Tuesday at noon explains
how all records were smashed in get
ting the club ready for permanent or
g%anization in so short a time. He
says:
ut was a. proud moment for Pleas
a~ntville, and particularly for those
among us who had felt that the time
was ripe for the formation of a XII
wants Club when Bill Duffy, the Field
Representative of International XII
wants, informed us last week, as he
looked around u crowd with a look
of establishment On his face, that in
reaching our charter quota of fifty
members in five days, We had broken
all records for speed in the formation
of Kiwanis Clubs in the Kiwanis Dis
trict of New Jersey.
Now that we have set one record,
let us make hat keynote in all
the affairs of the Kiwanis Club of
Pleasantville. Getting into things
with a snap and putting them over
with a zip, when once we have de-
cided upon their wisdom, will make
our club stand out, not only in this
community, but in the international
organization"
AS the membership of a Kiwanis
Club is not limited except as the
classification specifies it is expected
that the local club will number not
less than a hundred members in a
very short time. With the city grow
ing by leaps and bounds and with the
enthusiasm of the Kiwanis running
high, it is only natural that the new
club will find plenty of civic matters
to occupy attention and keep the club
busy boosting Pleasantville.
