HAVE o HEARD?

Have you heard the wonderful
news?
Rendezvous Park is to open on Sat
urday evening, May 27, and the first
week is to be open to the public free

der George Jabour, is seeing that the

ment world. The Worlds Famous
Trained Seals are the best tricksters

well-known for their work at the New
York Hippodrome; while the 1nterna-
tional Troupe of Acrobats, and the
Famous Woman's State Band of Ohio

there will be the Welandoes and their
t~heatroplane sensations.
The new management is DESTROYS of
showing its good faith toward the
public, and all it asks in return is the
public's interest. The management
knows that the quality of the attrac-
lions will soon make friends of every
one who enters Rendezvous. Elabor-
ate plans are now being formulated
for the grand opening of the Park. 1t
will be an outstanding event that will
be remembered by the resort for some
time to come. Cooperation between
public and management is the key

EASY COME, EASY co

Back In 1912, when Mr.. Taft was
President, and when the 4fpss ex-
peilditures of the government were
about o%ne-quarter of what they are
now. he became exercised and con-
cerned about the higgledy-piggledy, un-
scientific, disOrderly, grab-bag methods
by which your money was expended
for public purposes. He said then
what is equally true now, that the
activities of the national government
"are almost as varied as those of the
entire business world. The operations
of the government affect the interest
of every person living within the
jurisdiction of the United States. Its
organization embraces stations and
centers of work located in every city
and in many local subdivisions Of the
country.
This vast organization has V
been studied in detail as one piece
of administrative mechanism. Never
have the foundations been laid for a
thorough consideration of the relations
of all its parts. No comprehensive ef-

farious activities or to group them
in such a way as to present a clear
picture of what the government is
doing. Never has a complete descrip-
ton been given of the agencies through
which these activities are performed.
"At no time has the attempt been
made to study all of these activities
and agencies with a view to the as
signment of each activity to the
agency best fitted for its performance,
to the avoidance of duplication of
plant and work, to the indignation of
all administrative agencies of the
government, so far as may be
practicable, into a unified organization
for the most effective and economical
dispatch of public business"
This extraordinary and i~ndefensible
situation. which exists today as fully
and completely as 1t did when Mr..
Taft portrayed it seven years ago,
came about quite naturally and simply
through our tolerance and slackness.
For years and years the government
lived and grew and extended its ac-
tiyities ON Santa Claus money. Its in
come came as easily as money In

national income was greater than the
expenses. Every year there was a

"A ROMANCE OF YOUTH

At the Apollo Theatre, for the week
commencing June 5, Myron C. Fagan's
fascinating play, ga Romance of
Youth" with Carroll McComas in the
leading female role, will be the attrac-
ton.
This romantic comedy-drama comes
with a strong endorsement from Chi
cago. where it was pronounced as one
of the best offerings of the year.
Myron Pagan is no stranger in At
lantic City, having produced "Self
Defense" at the Apollo last year.
Carroll McComas requires no intro
duction, as her recent success in
Lulu Belts" was one of the gem per-
formances of the season; and reports
indicate that in "A Romance of
Youth" her ~portraiture of the dashing
heroine is a distinctive departure
from anything that she has heretofore
essayed, and is superior in conception
and reflection to her Lulu Belts"
Conspiciously prominent in the cast
are Ethel Jackson, Fanchon Campbell,
Beth Warden, Charles Trowbridge,
John Webster, Marshall Birmingham,
VIM. H. Harcourt and Walter Walton.

way of throwing some of 1t to the

You may remember that back In the
time of the first Cleveland administra-
rion one of the problems of public
discussion was: "What shall be done
with the surplus?" Then there was a
Grange of administration and Corporal
Tanner was made commissioner of
pensions. The whole country was
amused and had a hearty laugh when
he announced his policy: "God help
the surplus /" Them was the halcyon
days!
Mr.. Gilbert, the present undersecre-
tary of the treasury, in an address
said:
1.-THE estimates for the year 1920
show that over a billion dollars of ex-
penditures were authorized by the last
session of congress in addition to the
amount shown in the usual complied
statements of appropriations. In fact,
the practice has reached such proper
lions as to be almost a national
scandal. and 1t was vigorously de-
nounced In the Presidents last annual
message.
'It has become the first principle
of strategy on the part of people In
terested in appropriations for various
special purposes to frame the matter
so as to authorize the use of the
public funds indirectly, or in indefinite
terms, or by authorization for ex-
penditure of unexpended balances, per-
haps appropriated originally for other
purposes. or by authorizations to
divert government receipts before they
ever reach the treasury. Efforts are
made to find general words which do
not speak In terms of appropriations
and cannot be readily calculated.
1.-THE last session of the present
congress-, for example, authorized adj
ditional expenditures out of balances
of prior appropriations and from re-
ceipts to the amount of over $500 ,OOO,-
900, including over $500, 100000 for the
shipping board. The present ses-
sion of congress by similar procedure
takes credit for refusing a%ppropria-
lions for the shipping board, but, at
the same time, purposes to authorize
the expenditure of receipts in amounts
that may reach as high as $200, OOO,-
900. BY the indefinite appropriation
for the railroad guaranty about $780,
100000 was in effect appropriated
without appearing in any of the state
ments of appropriations"

For long time Grandfather Higgins
insisted that he was a very light sleep
er and that a slight noise would al
ways waken him. On the other hand,
grandmother was sure that he could
sleep sounder than the ordinary per-
son-so sure, indeed, that she declared
she could cut off his whiskers some
night without his knowing it until
morning. Grandfather retorted that,
If she could succeed in doing it, he
would go with her to visit their son
in Idaho.
For a few days grandmother said
no more about it apparently both had
forgotten the conversation. But one
morning when gra ndfather awoke his
throat and the lower part of his face
felt unusually cold He sat up in bed,
put his hand to his face, and utter
ing little cry, jumped up and hur-
ried to the mirror. Sure enough, his
whiskers were gone. He looked round

THE adoption of strict reg
ulatlons to prevent any posi-
BILE disease epidemic during
the school term is a proper
step for the local board of
health to take. However, this
alone is not enough. 1t is the
duty of all citizens to consider
the welfare of the schools and
the general public, and each
individual should guard him
self and those about him from
contagion to the utmost pos
sible extent. When a malady
is so mild in some cases that
it is not detected and the ply
stefan is not called until
others have been exposed by
contact, an effective quaran-
tine is difficult. For this rea-
son it becomes the duty of
individuals to watch for signs
of illness in themselves and
the children in their keeping
and to resolve any doubts in
favor of the public by volun-
tary segregation and prompt
consultation with the physi-
clan.
