also official pictures of actual condi-

While the Maryland clothing appeal
has met with success. yet the need for
money must be emphasized, saws Mr..
Pellegrin. who makes the following
statement:
THE response to the appeal for
clothing. made on Bundle Day. has
been magnificent. but all communities
have not responded and ii is hoped
each will heed the call of the near
naked in the Near East. Clothes, old
here, are new over there. Only when
each community does its part can the
need be met. There must be no con
fusion between the need of clothing
and the need of money. When drafts
are made on New York for cash with
which to buy things, clothing cannot
be paid out. Money alone will keep
the credit of the Near East where ii
ought to be. Maryland has not
reached her quota in money. Every
church and school. every organiza-
ton. is asked individually to raise the
maximum amount to save those whom
the Near East Relief has sheltered"
To the farmers of Maryland, Mr..
Pellegr;n says: For the farms Of
Armenia, seed corn and wheat are
badly needed, and the farmers OF
Maryland are asked to contribute
grain this summer as they did last
summer" Further information about
this request will he given

WEST WILDWOOD COUNCIL

Despite the snow storm and bllz-
zardlv weather last Saturday night,
the West wildwood Borough Council
met in regular session for its
meeting. There were present Mayor
Warren Ham, Councilman Charles =.
Hamilton, l. H. Weaver and Howard
M. Smith, Solicitor Herbert F. Harris,
Collector and Treasurer Skirving and
Borough Clerk Joseph e. Wright. John
w. Ham, who had been elected TO
serve as Clerk during the recent Ill
ness OF Clerk Wright, resigned, and
Mr.. Wright was elected again. Dr.
E. r. Kline resigned as a member OF
Council, as he was not able to attend
the meetings, being well along in
years. A letter was read from Cald-
we'll & Raymond, New York attorneys,
approving the proceedings of Council
in issuing bonds for the sewers now
being laid in the streets of West Wild
wood. This will make the bonds a
legal obligation of the borough and
will facilitate their sale. The mer-
camille and budget ordinances were
finally passed, and a resolution OF APP
probation was adopted for the good
work done by Collector Skirving in
collecting taxes, as only about a dozen
delinquents remained. The sewer
contract is about one-third completed
and payments were made Craythorn &
Nickerson, contractors. Engineer Rice
certified the work.

NYE HANDED A NJ

"a real lemon'-that's what the
placard says in the show window OF
the Electric Light Office on Pacific i've
nue., nearly opposite the post office.
BY the way, this real lemon" was
handed the superintendent of the West
Jersey Electric Co. by Postmaster
George N. Smith, who grew this citrus
fruit in his residence at the corner OF
Maple and Atlantic avenues, the home
Of the late J.. Thompson Baker. The
specimen on display at the Electric
Light office is quite large, bigger than
the average size of the commercial
lemon. 1t attracts much attention.
One gazer had the temerity to state in
the presence of several others, that
this lemon on display did not look like
a lemon to him. He thought it re-
sembled a peal or a ounce, more than
it did a real lemon. This critic was
reprimanded by another spectator who
said, Cant you see it's a lemon by its
skin-its texture!" That's So" adj
mitted the doubter, "the skin does look
like a lemon skin" He who has been
handed a lemon at anytime and who
may be in doubt as to whether it was
real or not may now take advantage OF
seeing our postmaster's homegrown,
real article and make comparison with
the one passed to E. T. Nye, which is,
in reality, quite a curiosity. Fired
with poetic genius, a certain writer
referred to lemons as that citrus fruit
SO often passed around; and as "the
crop that never fails" See the lemon

LOVE CONFESSIONS OF A FRENCH
"BLUEBEARD"

The whole civilized world read with
considerable interest the brief cabled
reports on the recent trial in Paris
of Henri Landru, the modern Blue
beard.
Although Landru was indicted,
tried and promptly convicted of the
murder of only about a dozen of his
wives, the French police, who spent
five years collecting the evidence, feel
certain that Landru wooed, won,
robbed and murdered most, if not all,
of the 2S3 women whose ame they
found in his private papers, and who
vanished from the face of the earth
after Landru made their %acquaint-
ance.
The figure of old Bluebeard and his
castle has typified for centuries the
wholesale wife murder, but the mod
ern Bluebeard, Ladru, has eclipsed
all records, the police believe, as a de-
stroyer of
Landru is closely guarded in Jail
under sentence of death, and is hop
ing for an appeal and a new trial to
save his neck from the guillotine.
But what every woman-every man,
too-wants to know is just how Lam
dru won those 2S3 wives, this whether
he is ultimately convicted of murder
ing them or not. There is no doubt,
though, that he did make scores OF
marriages and that many m loved
him. After considerable hesitation the
great French multiple husband has
consented to reveal his methods OF
love making, and in next Sundays
New York American he tells how he
won these hosts of women's hearts
and reveals, besides, some of the
hitherto unknown secrets Of his ex-
traordinary career.
