LOCKING THE STABLE DOOR
AFTER THE HORSE IS GONE

Is generally thought to be a foolish practice.
So is CRYING over split milk. Neither of them
ever brought back what was lost.
But there IS something to be done when
ever you lose, a valuable possession-from a tel
dollar bill to a diamond ring.
You can use an ad in the News Lost and
Found columns and get it back again!
That's the common-sense, practical way to
90 about recovering any lost article. It's easy.
direct and has a big percentage of certainty in
its favor.
You can be sure that your little ad will reach
every honest finder in the city. The rest is in
the hands of human nature-and nine times
out of ten you can bank on that.
Next time you lose anything of value-call
400 and ask for an adj taker.

TROLLEY HITS TRUCK.

The driver of a truck owned by
Vogt, a firm in Atlantic City, had a
narrow escape from injury Friday
afternoon, when the machine was hit
while attempting to pass in front of a
trolley on the Shore Fast Line tracks
at Park avenue. The car picked up
the auto and hurled it to one side of
the tracks. Only the slow speed saved
the driver from serious injury or pos
sible death. Both the front wheels
of the auto were broken, and the radi-
ator was badly damaged.
The trolley car was proceeding from
Somers Point when it approached the
crossing at Park avenue, where ii
slowed down for passengers. Just as
the car reached the crossing the mo.
torman saw that the driver of the
truck was going to cross the tracks
and applied his brakes, hitting the
auto while going at a very slow speed
The driver of the truck stated that
he did not hear the bell ring. Several
witnesses declared that at times the
bell, which is located at this point
does not ring when cars are passing.

ITALIAN INDEPENDENT CLUB
TO SUPPORT SENATOR WHITE.

More activity was put behind the po-
litical campaign with relation to the
State S~enatorship at a meeting of the
Italian Independent Club, Third St.
and Adams Ave-, last Saturday night.
The large hall of the Club was filed
to capacity.
After the regular business of the
Club, the selection of the candidates
to support at the coming primaries
was taken up. Many very stirring
speeches were delivered to those pres
ent by the more able members of the
Club, nearly all of them praising Sem
ator White. Mr.. Orlando. the first
speaker, said: Hon. Chas. D. White,
of Atlantic City, has filled the Office
of State Senator for one term of three
years, and he made good as a states
man, and deserves to be returned to
that body" Another member said that
Senator White in the past session of
the Legislature was majority leader of
the Senate and filled that place with
credit to himself and Atlantic County,
and all of his colleagues, regardless of
party, and the Republican leaders
throughout the State, are honestly
wishing for his return to the Senate,
on account of his marked ability and
leadership. Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted to give their undivid-
ed support to Senator White and urg-
ing his candidacy at the coming cleo
lions. The Club also decided to sup
port Mrs. Alice R. Macmillan for City
Council.
The Italian Independent Club is one
of the strongest political and social
clubs among the Italians on the main
land.

safe to say no staff could have been
selected who were better qualified by
their legal attainments and by their
particular experience and knowledge
of the war graft situation.
Never in the history of the Depart
ment IF Justice have the antitrust
la WIS been 30 vigorously prosecuted az
during the last Is months. For the
first time Jail sentences we're imposed
as a punishment for violation Of this
Sherman Antitrust Act in the case
of United States vs.. Alexander Reed,
ct al. The department at this time
has under investigation more than &C
cases of alleged violations Of the An
Thrust Act and has pending in the
courts 26 such cases. Since March
A, 1921, the Attorney Generals of.
fce has won 100 cases In the United
States Supreme Court and lost Al. In
that time 1t has tried 166 suits In
the various United States Courts and
won ITO. The department has been
very successful in defending the gov
eminent in the United States Court
of Claims where litigation has greatly
increased as a result of war con
tracts and a. cases. Twenty suits
were decided in this court on June
~, in which the Attorney Generals
department appeared for the govern
ment. In these 20 cases the govern
ment sued for the aggregate of $751;
619,699. The total of the amounts
allowed was only $533,365.
This, in brief. Is an outline of some OF
the more important activities of the
Department of Justice since March 4,
1921. An enormous amount Of work
has been performed and every branch
of the judicial service is character
lied by energy, intelligence and dis
patch. The record Of the department
under the present administration not
only reflects great credit upon Attor-
ney General Daugherty and President
Harding, but 1t inspires confidence
and respect of u people everywhere
In the courts and In those in whom
the responsibility and power of ad-
ministering the law Is invested. 1t
will remind our people hat this is
a government CT laws a1d not OF men.

FINED $3.50 EACH.

Charles Jones, who gave his resi-
dence as Atlantic City, and Walter
Johnson, who stated that he lives in
Smiths Landing, both colored, were
arraigned before Magistrate Richard
G. Brown Friday morning, charged by
Chief of Police Marshall and Officer
George Adams with disorderly con
duct. They were fined $3.50 each by
the Judge and released.
According to the story told by the
police, Jones and johnson were hang.
ing around the coal yard of Lake &
Risley about 2 o'clock Thursday NOR
ming. They had a horse and wagon,
which was backed into the alley run
ming close to the yard. The officers
declare they saw one of the men en-,
ter and leave the yard. When ar.
raigned before the Judge the men
could not give a satisfactory account
of their movements.

"VAMPS"WHO
MADE HISTORY
VAMPIRE WHO TURNED elGoT
By Nj c. YOUNG.
5ooe80G
&c by seciure Newspape Syndicate,

A BABl giIl was born IN the prison
~ at Not. France. in 1885, Hell
father was II EIuguenot. OF Protestant,
and her mcffaf II Catholic. Religions
dissensions - divided France be-
tween the tno sects. The man had
been imprisoned because Of his stardy
adherence to the E%iuguenots. and re-
NAMED under key until lG:'Y when he
was released and went TO Martinique.
West Indies, with his family. lie died
there and the mother brought the little
girl back to Paris.
They were very poor. When the
girl was just past fifteen she NE the
Able Scarron, that brilliant scholar
and writer, who then was q ceic..ity.
Scarron was deformed and olwajs i'll.
He offered to pay her expenses in a
convent, or to marry her. She chose
the man, and for ten years tenderll
nursed him. Her position brought her
into contact with the first minds at
the day and she learned rapidly.
After Scarron passed from the seen,
she was invited by the Marquise de
Montespan, mistress of Louis XIV. to
direct the education of their children.
She accepted and it was not long until
the king took an interest In her. ID,
Montespan vas a naughty high-ten
pered woman. De Maintenon, calm ann
ven In her demeanor. Louis found re
lief from the storms of the n In tn
~placidness of the other. And the old,
aid story was repeated.
After De Montespan had been ban
lshed from court the queen died. De
MalntenOn led Louis into a morganatic
marriage and assured herself of a Pc
sition almost beyond attack. But the
vampire of the sweet ways developed
into a shrew as she grew older, be
came bigoted and a relentless perse
cutter of the Protestants.
She had been credited with lnflu-
encing the king to revoke the famous
Edict of Nantes in 1885. This edict
guaranteed Il measure of liberty to
Protestants and its revocation plunged
France into civil ~bloodshed which
Slapped much of the power that had
been built up by Louis and two great
ministers who preceded him, Mazarin
and Richelieu. 1t also drove from
France many of its best families and
stirred up ~unquenchable flames of
hatred, which eventuated a hundred
years later in a complete overturn OF
the Catholic power.
De Malntenon hesitated after she
saw the results of her influence, but
it was too late to draw back and, wom-
anlike, she dguratively threw up her
hands at the harm she had wrought.
She outliyed the king and the last
years of her life were as narrow and
bigoted as her first had been gay and
tender. Perhaps she had lived too
long, as the philosophers say.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Miss Elsie Schmidt, who is spend.
ing the summer with her family at
their cottage on New York avenue,
Somers Point, was knocked uncon-
scious and her left side paralyzed
when a bolt of lightning entered the
cottage on Thursday night.
Miss Schmidt was in the house with
her mother and others at the time the
severe electrical storm came up. Some
of the rain had come in one of the
windows in a bedroom. She was busy
with a cloth taking the water from
the floor. Relaxing a moment she
grasped the brass part of the bed
frame just as lightning struck, and
the side nearest the bed as we'll as her
arm was shocked, rendering her un-
conscious. Her mother, hearing a
cry, ran into the room, later phonine
for friends and a doctor.
The strange part of the accident was
that the lightning came from under
the house and o above it. In the
living room splinters can be seen com
ing from the floor where it ran under
meath it.
The home of William Holmes on
Bay avenue was also struck by light
ming. The damage to both houses
was slight. The storm, which was
considered one of the worst this sum
mer, gave a number of Somers Point
residents a scare. No other houses
were reported hit by bolts.

The activities and accomplishments
of the Department OF Justice during
the past 10 months comprise the mos'
successful record that department has
made since it's establishment. Inc
largest amount of business in the his
tory of that department has beer
transacted for the current year on
less money than vas appropriated TOT
the preceding year.
Ayeritable avalanche OF business was
Iclogging the doekets in nearly every
United States District Court and new
cases being entered in unprecedented
numbers when Attorney General
tDaugherty took charge of the Depart
Iment OF Justice March 4, 1921. He
found the department disorganized.
II was necessary to make a survey not
only of his own force but of the yarf-
Lous cases pending in the several Unit
ed States Courts throughout the coun-
try. This gigantic task was acom-
plished with thoroughness and dis
patch.
Eafly III HIS luCuilpohNy
General Daugherty began an investlga-
ton of the so-called Wal Fraud cases.
After he had thoroughly surveyed the
situation and he and his star were
ready to proceed he asked for an ap-
Ipropriation of half a million dollars TO
tenable him to employ additional II
,competent special attorneys to con-
duct the actual work of grand jury In
yestigation and prosecution. The men
whom he selected for this task are
iskilled lawyers: Former Senator
Charles s. Thomas, of Colorado, a
Democrat who was conspicuous In the
Senate investigation of the aircraft
scandal; former Congressman c. F.
Reavis, of Nebraska, who was a mem
her of the House COMMITTEE which In
vestigated the expenditures of the
War Department; former Congress-
man r. D. acCullough, of Ohio, also
a member Of that Committee, and Mr..
Meier S~teinbrink, of New York, who
assisted Charles e. Hughes In the
famous aircraft inquiry of 1918, and
who was also employed as Special
Counsel for the House Committee on
investigating war expenditures. 1t Ia
