No one can understand why
Harold has treated Evelyn so
abominably. Evelyn's father
grows purpla and bursts into Vio-
lent profanity when lie thinks Of
it; EYelyn's mother WeepS and
sighs something about no cross,
no crown; lGyelyn's friends say
it's the cruelest thing they ever
heard of; and Evelyn herself goes
about wearing her sad. sweet smile
and simply breaking everyone's
heart with her courage. But no
one knows what HAROLD is doing,
for he has fitted to parts unknown
and left no forwarding address.
Such brutal treatment, and sure
lY q man was never so loved!
Didn't she assure him over and
over, every day of the three years
they lived together, that she lived
for his love alone? Didn't she
prove. it by calling him up at the
office at least three times a day
and telling him every teensy thing
that was happening at home? And
who could doubt it when she was

he came home on q later train
than usual?
Why, you should have heard her
tender little laugh when Harold
would ask her if she'd read up
about the election or honed up the
situation in Central Europe What
use had she for election news or
European "-oorts if only she had
her own dear boy beside her to tell
her that he loved her. over and
over! She never. NEVER grew

1t was pitiful to see her droop
when his friends came in of an
evening and insisted on chattering
shop talk" which she couldn't
understand, or when Harold, him
self, tried to tell her about his
business affairs. she never nagged
or scolded but she would cuddle
up to him in her sweet, womanly
way and whisper that she didn't
care for all the horrid old business
she just lived for love. And her
gentle blue eyes would be so hurt

Charles j. Collins, Of Somers Point,
and Mrs. Lillian X. DeVaney, of At
lantic City, for members of the Demo
cratic State Committee, were filed
this week with the County Clerk. 1t
is likely that the Democrats will have
the liveliest campaign in many years
in September with these two running
against former Judge Clarence l..
Cole. OF. Atlantic City. and Mrs. Han
nah Zane, of P~leasantyille.
Collins represents the so-called or
e~anization end of the Democratic
Party in Atlantic County. That is, he
is endorsed by many of the members
Of the County Committee, and by
those who are known as followers Of
the Mayor Hague end of the political
situation. The organization as il eX-
lists to-day, is said by those who claim
to know. not TO include the majority
of the party. The majority are said
to be outside the organization, owing
to il being dominated by a select few.
This is the cause of the fight, with
Judge Cole accepted as the one to
make the battle to dethrone those
who claim to be the ut" of Demo
cratic politics in Atlantic County.
Many OF the old-timers are said to be
lining up with Cole in their effort to

State Committee, but leaders of both
factions refuse to take his candidacy

US. Army Engineers
Recommend Channel
Report to Secretary of Wan in
Favor of Twenty Foot Water
way Over AbsecOn Bar.

The Chief of Engineers of the Unit
ed States Army has submitted "A re-
port TO the Secretary of Wan recon
mending the construction of a chan
mel twenty feet deep and four hun
dred feet wide at Absecon Inlet, at a
cost of $780, 600, with an annual main
enanc cost of $4,000. The report
was handed to the Secretary of War
on Wednesday.
The report suggested that the i'm
provement would be undertaken with
the understanding that the interests
of the beach in front of the city are
superior to those of the inlet" and
should be abandoned if it be found to
have a d~eleterious effect on the beach.
The improvement. it was stated, might
have the effect of establishing a
steamboat line to New York city.
This looks as though those people
who have been working to have At
lantic City made a port of entry and
call for ocean going vessels had won
out after many years OF fighting for
the project. 1t is believed that the
matter as reported will go through
all right this time and that the .ap-

BANK To HAVE
NEW BUILDING
Board of Directors of the First
National Have Contracted for
Modern Structure.
Organized 20 Years

The First National Bank, at Main
street and Washington avenue. is soon
10 have a modern banking house
erected to replace the present bank.
AT a meeting of the Board of Directors
held on Wednesday a contract was en-
tered into with the Fred r. Ley Com
pany, architects and contractors, of
New York, for the preparation of the
plans and specifications for the new
building. This company has erected
a number of banking houses and other
similar structures throughout the
country.
AS soon as the plans and %specnfica-
lions are prepared and approved by
the Board of Directors the work will
be started. The old frame building
that stands on Washington Avenue, in
the rear of the bank, is to be torn
down and the present banking house
will be moved TO the rear of the lot
TO make way for the new building,
which is to be modern in every detail
and is to be used solely for banking
purposes.
The First National Bank is now
about twenty years old, having been
chartered on December LIST, 1902. 1t
was opened in the frame structure and
maintained in that building for about
three years when the present brick
bank was erected. The bank has had
n cashier, Gorge II. Adams, since its
organization. That it has prospered
exceedingly is attested by the fact
that the annual dividends paid 10 the
stockholders amount to 40 per cent.

Fake Spnitualists
Facing Prosecution
State Legislative Committee Is
sues Letter of Warning After
Session at Atlantic City.

The Legislative Committee of the
New Jersey State Association of Spir-
itualists held a meeting in Atlantic
City on Wednesday and served notice
that wholesale prosecutions were
about to be commenced against those
who have abused ~Spiritualism using
it as a game of graft. The notice
was served in the form of a public
letter signed by DR.. Richard X.
Sehleusner, OF Paterson. and Elwood
c. Lear, OF Atlantic City. DR.. Schleus-
ner states that there are several so
called Spiritualits churches held in
apartments and other places, even in
garages, some of them in this city
and other parts Of Atlantic County,
which are not authorized by law and
are nothing less than traps for the
unwary in a game OF graft.
In part the letter says:
The legislative committee OF the
New Jersey State Association OF
Sp~iritualists, wishes to call the at
tention of all Spiritualists, and the
public to the amendments OF the re-
ligious laws recently enacted by the
New Jersey Legislature, under Chap
ter 203, Public Laws of 1922, guar
~anteeing 10 Organized S"piritualism
the same freedom and privileges that
is accorded TO any other religion.
"These laws became effective July
4, 1922. The law also makes the New
Jersey State Association of Spiritual
lists, r~eorganized July 10, 1922, the
central head and guiding power OF all
Organized Spiritualist Churches with
in the State.
The law also places it beyond he
power of unaffiliated organizations and
societies to become incorporated or
chartered, because no County Clerk
can legally put on record any such
incorporation or charter, unless first
receiving the approval and indorse-
ment of The New Jersey State Asso-
citation oil Spirituaiists. These laws
were passed at the request of Spirit
ualists themselves, in order that they
might by strong organization place
outside the pale OF S%piritualism all
Charlatan, Takers and ~Pretenders,
that have been infesting their ranks
under the cloak of this religion for
m%erccnary reasons, and thereby
bringing ridicule and disrepute upon
iesitimate organizations"
