COMEDY MOTION PICTURES
HELP LITTLE SUFFERER.
Credited With Bringing About Recov-
cry of PleasantVille Inmate of
Seashore Home.

Comedy motion pictures are credit
ed with bringing about the recovery
of Katherine Hartwell, seven years
old, of P~leasantville, al inmate of the
Children's Seashore House in Chelsea.
The child had become weak and al
most emaciated; she had scarcely
slept for a month and was reduced to
a state OF helplessness where she
could only with difficulty make any
voluntary motion. Today she is on
the rapid road to completely regain
ing her health.
Henry Wink. of London, wealthy
picture magnate, who believes a happy
frame of mind does much to help pa
tents and plans the institution of a
hospital service, staged a show a week
ago at the institution. He passed the
cot of the little girl on his way to the
assembly room.
Too bad this little one cant go,
TOO" commented Miss Elva Garrison,
the child's nurse.
why can't she go?" the visitor in
CURED.
Little Katherine hasn't much long
Ell to live; the doctors don't expect her
TO be with us more than a few hours"
was the answer.
Just then Katherine's eyes opened
and a most pathetic, wistful and help
less smile lighted up her wan little
countenance. Mr.. Winik's heart was
touched. well, il this poor little
creature has only a few hours to live,
what harm "a be done if we try to
brighten n of them" he asked.
There was a conference at the home.
The request was unusual and Mr..
Wink Won his point. She was made
as comfortable as possible in the audi
torium.
There was a comic picture on the
screen as the child opened her eyes at
the suggestion of the nurse. AT first
Katherine watched the film listlessly.
Their she began TO take a closer inter
est and finally exhibited attention as
eXuberant as one can possibly ascribe
to a child at deaths door. With her
increasing interest, she moved with
out aid TO see better. That night she
slept, the first full nights slumber in
a month. On the following day she
could move. Now her recovery is
looked for.

FREEHoLDERS WOULD BUY
ABSECON PROPERTY

Chairman Tomlin of the Road Com
mittee of the Board of Freeholders,
at their meeting on Wednesday, sub
mitted a resolution in which the West
Jersey q Seashore Railroad is offered
5000 for property at Absecon, where
a dangerous situation exists. There
are several buildings, among them a
gasoline service station on the prop
erty and they not only obstruct the
view but cause many automobiles to
collect. This constitutes a danger to
the travelling public, the resolution
advised, and it is proposed to pur-
chase the land and its buildings, in
Guiding the post office so thai the
structures may be demolished. The
resolution was adopted.
The Freeholders adopted at the in
stance of members of the State Board
of Commerce and Navigation, a reso-
luton urging the county's representa-
tives in the Legislature to procure
legislation for the protection of inland
waterways in this section. The plan
suggested is that the Legislature per
nit the county to make a contribu-
ton to the State Board that work on
inland waterways maintenance here
be carried on effectually. The State
Board, with the meagre fund it gets
by way of appropriation, cannot give
the county much relief. Absecon

ing and pinning him beneath, Harold
Langdon, hotel proprietor, narrowly
escaped death or serious injury.
The stout framework of the ma

only a broken collar-bone and minor
bruises. He was taken to his home,
the SantamRitazApaftInents Atlantic
City, in a passing automobile.
Langdon, who was formerly one OF
the proprietors of the Grand Atlantic
Hotel, was taking a pleasure trip
through the mainland with two friends
whose names are unknown. As he
neared the street intersection another
automobile approached travelling at a
high rate of speed, and Langdon was
forced to swerve sharply in order to
avoid a collision.
His car mounted the curbing, struck

vile, lifted the machine, allowing
Langdon TO crawl out. The other two
men We're hurled to the ground. but

PLEASANTVIILE
CHAMBER ACTIVE.

The Chamber of Commerce, at its
March meeting, passed a resolution to
have one of the new ferry boats OF
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
which are now being constructed to
run between Camden and Philadel-
phia, named City of Pleasantville.'
A communication was ordered TO be
sem to the railroad officials urging
selection of this name for n of the
new boats. As the Reading officials
are very friendly to this city it is be-
lieved the name will be adopted by
them.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Chamber by Frank
Hubin, who also had a motion carried
that the Atlantic City and Shore Fast
Line be requested to have their cars
lettered Atlantic City, P%leasantville,
Mortified, Linwood, Somers Point
and Ocean City"
In conjunction with City Council
the Chamber is also working hard to
have the free city delivery of mail put
into effect here by the Post Office De-
partment. Congressman Isaac Bach
arach is cooperating with the local
bodies to have this put into effect.
With the new house numbering and
improved sidewalks throughout the
city it is believed the Post Office De-
partment will grant the free city de-
livery soon. The last time it was adj
vocated the Postal Inspector who
came here reported that only side
walk conditions stood in the way of
granting the request. This has since
been remedied and another inspection
will probably result in free delivery
here
