WHATS INSIDE YOUR HEADl
In the End You Will Succeed Or
Fail Because Of Its
Contents.

In the end you will succeed or fail
because of what is inside of your head.
But neither the X-ray nor any other de-
vice ever invented or ever likely to be
invented, will enable a prospective en-
ployer to look into your brain. Even
the missionaries and psychological
tests show but little. And many a boy
who stands at the mead of his class in
school or college never makes good in
after life.
You carry somewhere behind your
forehead the ability that will enable
you to win. But that ability has got
to be tried out. You've got to persuade
somebody that you are worth employ
ing before you can use ever the best
of ability.
This is the G of advertising. You
must have some kind of an lad" to sell
yourself with, and the best n avail
able is a good appearance. If you
look prosperous. if you are well dressed
and alert and cheerful you are well
advertised. In any line of applicants,
you are likely to be picked out as one
Of the most promising. Your clothes
and your general appearance attract
attention.
Appearance is not all. of course.
Many men look like a million dollars
who are not worth 10 cents. But they
get found out very speedily.
If you are really able and competent
all you need, all you ought to have, is
a chance. You will nev get that
chance if you wear seedy clothes and
neglect your teeth and need a shave.
Your only "ad" is the impression EN-
ployers and others get of you at the
start. Make that q good ne. Don't
be afraid to spend money on it. All
good advertising is expensive, yet it
is the best investment that a business
mar can possibly make.

Remarkable Volcanic islands.

Volcanoes often break loose on the
floor of the ocean, and sometimes
they build up considerable mountains.
If such a mountain be tall enough. it
appears above the surface and forms
an island. The Hawaiian islands were
themselves created in that way.
Sometimes these volcanic islands
rise up, only to disappear later. Here
and there In the Pacific that very
thing has happened within historic
times.
Mariners often have come across a
new island, or they have discovered to
their surprise the absence Of a charted
bit of terra firma.
In the neighborhood of the Aleutian
chain two mountains lifted themselves
out of the ocean a while ago, with
much fire, steam and smoke. They
are called Bogislof and Grewingk.
Having slowly grown to great size,
they now are disappearing gradually

JACKSON DRUG STORE TO BE
IMPROVED

The Bond Construction Company, of
Wildwood Crest, began work last
Wednesday at Jackson's Drug Store,

ing been awarded the contract to make
extensive alterations in that building.
The ground floor room will be en-
larged and a second story added to the
present structure. The second floor
will contain a stock room and nine Of
fee rooms, some of which are said to
be rented in advance. The entrance
to the second floor rooms will be on

MEETING OF TALL CEDARS
JANUARY %

Cape May County Forest, No. Is,
Tall Cedars of Lebanon, a side degree
of the Blue Lodge Masonry, organized
a band. The first public appearance
of the organization will be at Wild
wood when the ceremonial is held
here the latter part of this month.
Two Cape May County mayors play in
the band. Gilbert Smith, of Avalon,
and ". COPYRIGHT Smith, of Wildwood,
the latter being director. Both are
cornetists. Glenn Foster, a well-known
printer of Cape May Court House, is
assistant director. Grand Tall Cedar
Robert G. Pierpont and William Aus
tin are president and secretary, re-
sp%ectively, of the newly formed or
~ganization. Twenty-Five musicians
r enrolled to date and a forty-piece
band is anticipated when all parts of
the county are thoroughly canvassed
for musicians belonging to the Cedars.
The County Forest will hold its first
session for 1922 on Friday evening,
January 9th, at the high school audi
torium, Wildwood. This is expected
to be a big meeting, for big things are
in store for members of the Forest.
The new band is holding weekly re-
hearsals at Odd Fellows Hall, Court
House, each Wednesday night. They
will make their first public appear
on January 9th. The band now
includes some of the best musicians
in the county and is sure to give a
good account of itself.
A degree team of Rangers has also
been organized with Albert K. Bl1nn,
of Wildwood, in charge and about 80
members enrolled. From this number
will be selected a guard also.
Supreme Tall Cedar r. Arthur Bit
tong, of Philadelphia, has notified the
Forest that he will be present at the
meeting and visitors from
Atlantic City, Bridgeton and other
Forests will also be present.
All Cedars in Cape May County
should set this date aside, for 1t prom
Ises to be one of the biggest meetings
the Forest has held.

From Chlorine to Aspirin.

Chlorine and a lot of poisonous
gases are produced from coal-tar prod
ucts.
From chlorine is developed chlor-
benzol, and from chlorbenzol, acetic
unhydride of aspirin. Aspirin is also
a coal-tar product made from s~alicyIic
acid. Chlorine was first made in Ger
many, but the war compelled US to
make u own, and a plant was estab-
lished at Niagara Falls.
This little illustration of how aspirin
is made shows what American chem
lists can do if given opportunity to
work out these chemical problems. AS
pirin, heretofore manufactured exclu-
sively by Germans, is now made in
America.

FORECLOSURE OF TAX SALES
DELAYED BY INADEQUATE
SEARCHING FACILITIES
January 8, 1922.
Board of Commissioners,
City of Wildwood, N. j.

January B, 1922.
Board of Commissioners,
City of Wildwood, N. j.
Gentlemen: l beg to advise you that
on November 2, last, 1 placed my order
with the Real Estate & Search Co,
Agent for the Fidelity Title Co., for
searches against all properties which
had been sold for taxes of 1917, and on
which the city holds certificates. So
far l have received IA searches, all of
which are in process of foreclosure.
l have had the Five Mile Beach Jour-
nal print the $500 necessary chan
Gerry blanks for the purpose and
they have been delivered to me, What
ever delays that may be in the prose-
cution of these causes will be due to
the fact that we cannot get the
searches as fast as we can use them,
but arrangements are being made by
the Search Company to put on special
help for the purpose of expediting this
work. The order for searches was
placed in the order in which the certi-
ficates were handed to me, namely,
first ward, second ward, third ward.
The searches for the first ward are
not yet half completed, and this is the
ward with the smallest number of out
standing certificates. In so far as l
am concerned this work is being
pushed with all diligence, the bills to
foreclose are being filed as quickly as
the searches are received. In con-
n~ection with rumors to the effect that
the matter is being held up on &C
count of back taxes being owed by
members of my family, l would say
that the Collector informs me that
there are no certificates outstanding
at this time covering on any property
owned by any member of my family.
1 might say that this matter is hav-
ing my personal attention in prefer
ence to any other business of this Of
flee and will continue to have it until
final completion, as l know this to be
a matter in which the entire COM
munity is interested.
Assuring you of the most prompt,
efficient and economical service in
this regard, l beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
JOHN BRIGHT.

BUY LOWER CALIFORNIA

On a map of Mexico look at the long
tongue of land known as Lower Cali
fornia. Senator Ashurst ice called
it 'the vermiform appendix of the
Mexico, the Achilles heel of the United
States"
8 AS it stands, this tongue of land is
practically valueless to Mexico, for &C
xcess to it from the Mexican mainland
can be had only by an in%convenient
water route or by a tedious and round
about journey through United States
territory.
But it is a continual n to the
Panama Canal and to the West coast
'sof the, United States, for a hostile
power, operating secretly, could en-
trench itself in either one of two bays
Turtle Bay, 400 miles south of San
Diego, a l~and-locked harbor easily
mined and defended; and Magdalena
bay, 500 miles south of Los Angeles,
a protected water area of $50 square
miles, in which all the navies aioat
Gould find anchorage.
Turtle Bay is a limited harborage,
but, if Magdalena Bay were seized by
an enemy and made a base for cruisers
and submarines it would command our
American coastwise shipping from
Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and
San Pedro to the Panama Canal and
might make possible raids at will
along our West Coast. !
Japan has repeatedly tried to gain
this strategic foothold, but has never
quite dared, in time of peace, to push
her intrigues to an issue.
Should tension warrant, however,
Japan would undoubtedly pursue her
historic policy and make short shrift
2Of Mexico's undefended neutrality.
Ownership of this exposed territory is
therefore as fraught with peril to
Mexico as it's lack of defense is to the
United States.
There have been previous suggest
ions that the United States sound
Mexico with a proposal to purchase
a Lower California, but during Mexico's
revolutionary era there was no stable
government with which to negotiate.
Now, however, that under President
pbregon, Mexico has an administra-
ZION intelligent, stable, progressive
ana not unfriendly, the project should
DE revived. !,
The United States should make a
generous offer, not because it wants
the land, but because it wants Sc
|curity.
mexico, which has no use for the
land, could well afford to rid itself of
a hazard to friendly relations in ex-
cnange either for a credit on our
claims against her or for outright cash
1or Which she has great need.-New
York American.
