AMOROUS JERSEY INSECT

From the soft lips of the maiden and
the firmer ones Of the swain the toll Is
extracted impartially. To the gay
Lothario at Keansburg Beach kiss on
the cheek Is as nothing.
And as he brands them as his victims,
one can almost fancy that n malicious
chuckle is flung over his shoulder as he
departs for new loves to sample.

bug, and papa IIemiptera must surely
have brought the mama and all the little
Hemips with him, because the entire

Mr.. Pinchot that his wife be appointed
to the Executive Committee.
There never was any question Of

Baker. "She was recommended by
Mrs. Barclay II. Warburton. vice
chairman of the State Committee. and
as in the case Of other recommendation

explained yesterday it has been impos-
sible for him to make public the lists
Of the three committees because he had
found great difficulty in getting into
