SAFEGUARDS AGAINST
LIGHTNING c.


With Americas greatest electrical
wizard announcing the artificial pro-
duction of lightning, it is but a step
to the control of this destructive ele-
ment and the turning of it to some
useful purpose. AS a fact there are
practical methods. practices and ap-
planes for protecting buildings
against lightning, but they have made
little Roadway because of the sus-
picion implanted in the minds of the
people as a result of the lightning
rod" campaigns of twenty years ago.
At that time every fakir in the land
was selling lightning rods to folks in
the country towns, their INSCRIPTIONS
methods not being unearthed until
they had covered the country districts
and ever cheated and deceived a
great number of persons in the larger
cities. The lightning rod outfits made
vast fortunes and the purchasers were
left holding the bag. Comfortable in
their feeling of security, the buildings
burned down just the same and the
resulting condition of the mind was
more harmful than the loss of money.
Unfortunately the government did
not lock the stable door until the

DEEPENING ABSECON INLET.

Just now the question of whether
or not the United States Government
will deepen the channel across the
bar of Absecon Inlet to a permanent
depth of 200 feet is one of the most
important that is being considered by
a great many people, not only in At
lantic City, but in all the towns on
the mainland as well. For years
there have been efforts made to have
a deep channel over this bar. 1t was
a long time before recognition that
amounted to anything could be OBJ
tanned at Washington. Finally appro-
priations were secured for dredging
a channel of shallow depth and the
Federal Dredge "Absecon" was con-
~structed for the use of the U. S.. En-
gineer's Department.
Since the steamship has been in
service there has been great improve
ment in the channel, but only to the
extent of allowing vessels of shallow
draft to use the Inlet. All this time
there has been agitation for a chan
mel of sufficient depth so that ocean
going ships, of 20 or more feet draft,
could make use of the Inlet either as
a port of refuge in a severe storm or
as a port of call for freight or passen-
gers. 1t has been contended all along
that dredging would not answer the
purpose, but that the only sure way
to provide a channel of sufficient
depth, and keep it so after it was once
established. would be to build ~jetties.
cred by United States engineers,
steamship representatives and Allan
tic City, Camden, New York and Phil
adelphia business men. The steam
ship men claim that one line, the Old
Dominion, will spend a million dollars
to provide facilities for making Allan
tic City a port of call if proper depth
of water is assured and maintained to
allow their ships to enter Absecon In
let. Just how much this would mean
to Atlantic City and to Pleasantville
and other mainland towns can hardly
be appreciated, the benefits would be
so great. The matter is now started
and the only way to get it actually
accomplished is for everyone interest
ed to keep at it continually until the
result is attained.

horse was gone, but nevertheless for
ward strides can now be announced.
To put the official mark of approval
on lightning protection methods, the
Bureau of Standards, the Weather Blu
reau and The American Institute of
Electrical Engineers had a joint COM
mittee prepare a code and many firm
ly established principles for lightning
protection have been established. In
dications are that before long there
will be developed practical appliances
that will make buildings safer, if not
entirely safe. The committee might
wisely invite the creator of artificial
lightning to suggest means of con-
trolling the force he is now able to
employ. The losses by lightning are

WORLD CRYING FOR A
LABOR MOSES.

LABOR MOSES.
The withdrawal of 900, 900 workers
from the coal mines of America even
for a week means that the public must
pay the bill. The operators, of course,
profess great concern, but as a fact
they are Tipping a coin in the game
of Heads | Win, Tails You Lose"
The public may suffer from. cold if
the shortage be excessive, but opera
tors will have coal to heat their
sumptuous offices and their luxurious
homes. If the shortage be less acute,
then people will pay through the nose
in tilted prices, and the operators will
reap the reward that way. AS for
the men, they will suffer from lack of
work and il will take time for them
to get back to their established status
even though they do win some things
in their favor. The issues of the
strike do not appear to be clearly de-
fined. There are always two sides to
a story. The pitiable condition is the
purility of the government in it's con-
fessed failure to cope with the situa-
ton.
Eventually the strike must be set
tied and the men go back to work,
and the trouble must be settled by
agreement reached between the con
tending forces. 1t is a sad reflection
people that it is always necessary to
go through the fire and beat the pub
lie into suffering before understand
ing can be established. The condi-
ton is de%plorable. What is the mat
ter when this nation leads the world
in discovery and invention yet lags
so far behind it in an effort to solve
the problem of capital and labor. Per-
haps the secret lies in the fact that
the intellectual giants for the most
part lie on the side of the capitalists.
If they are not capitalists themselves,
then they are controlled by the CAPT.
~talists. This problem and the prob
lem of food distribution are the two
great difficulties that seem to con
found humanity. The people are cry
ing aloud for a Moses to lead them to
the promised land of common sense.
If some way can be found to concrete
ly express the public will, there will
come an end to this game of battle
dore and shuttlecock in which the
public is always battered around.

THE ~NON-cHURCH GOER.

Why do men neglect church attend
ance? If you mean all men do not
attend church you are in error. 1t is
true that far too many stay away
from divine worship. The following
reasons can be assigned why certain
classes neglect this important duty:
FIRST: A scared Sabbath con
science sends men to the golf links
on the Holy Sabbath.
SECONDS: The gasoline mania
causes thousands to take the family,
the dog, and the lunch basket into
the automobile early Sabbath morn
ing when they begin to break the Ten
commandments, the speed laws, the
rules OF domestic tranquility and Sab
bath observance.
THIRD: Screenitis sends thousands
into the motion picture houses, where
they make a pagan attack upon Gods
Holy Day.
FOURTH: Laziness keeps thou
sands at home wrapped in the bed
clothes of Incidence and filth-too in
dolent, sloven and filthy to dress and
attend divine worship.
FIFTH: False conception of wor-
ship, or because the sermon is poor,
or the minister worse than dead, they
drift into the habit of neglecting
church attendance.
SIXTH: A large number of those
who stay away do so because they
are plain pagans; their education is
defective; their breeding is below the
standard. They are just plain heath
No well-bred, well-trained, mod
ern, up-to-date, and otherwise normal
man stays away from such services.
The bum, gambler, fraud, embezzler,
outcast, loafer, and the scum of the
earth stay away from church. Behold
the crowd with which the non-church
goer can be classed.
SEVENTH: There are thousands

Immediately following his graduation in pharmacy he came to
Pleasantvi1e in 1902 and worked for a year in a drug store at number
three North Main street, conducted by Warren C. Pine. Then he
purchased the business from Mr.. Pine and removed the store to the
corner of Main street and Washington avenue, where he has been
located since that time.
Mayor Crawford has led a very active life, not only in businesses
circles but in church affairs, socially and politically. He has been a
trustee of the First Presbyterian Church for several years. He rep
resented the First Ward of this city in City Council for three years
and also served as Secretary of the Board of Health and Register of
Vital Statistics for three years. He is now completing his fourth
term a Mayor of the city, making almost eight years that he has
been the Chief Executive of the city.

Mayor Crawford decided to
become a druggist and he
spent four years in a drug
store there, also attending
the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy, from which he
graduated when twenty-one
years of age. Meanwhile, he,
like all other boys of that
age, was not satisfied with
only one vocation and he also
took up the study of telegra-
ply. He became an expert
telegraph operator and for a
time was in charge of the
Postal Telegraph Office at

of business, professional, political and
official men who neglect church be-
cause they are conscious of the fact
that they are grossly sinful, selfish,
~conceited, and derelict in the perform
ance of their duties. They dread to
face the gospel mirror wherein they
can behold their W faces over which
is written guilt. They know that if
they face the gospel as %expounded
from Gods infallible Word they will
have to surrender their selfish, mean,
conceited business and professional
attitude toward the church and the
gospel.
The conceited professional man
tries to build for himself a code and
produces a state of self-satisfied, self
righteous, and s~elf-centered content
ment, which he does not want dis
turbed by the courageous presentation
of the full gospel of Jesus Christ.
Men are neglecting to attend church
because they are afraid to face the
judgment gospel. Men are staying at
home or they are going on the fields
of pleasure or they are attending to
business because of their innate and
overt and continued meanness. They
are trying to avoid the doctrine of re-
sponsibility, accountability, and judg-
ment. They are foolish. Every SEN
sible mar ought to prepare to meet
His God. Every desirable, worthy
citizen ought to be found in his pew
every Sunday morning worshiping
God and paying his honest obligations
to the church of Jesus Christ.

Dandruf Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you

It does no good to try to brush or
wash it out. The only sure way to get
rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely To do this.
get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel hundred
times better. You can get liquid ar

is all you will need, no matter how
much dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.-Adv.
