There will be no inquest held to in

the guard rail. One of the boards of
the rail struck Kroeckel and smashed
his chest and broke a couple of ribs.

several severe, but not serious, injur-
les. Karl Jensen, another occupant of
the car, was thrown out but escaped
without injury.
Miss Winifred Brady, Superintend-
ent of the Municipal Hospital at At
lantic City, and Miss Marian Maulick,
of Ventnor City, were Ndriving in a
Sedan when the accident occurred.
They stopped and when seeing that
Kroeckel was dead, turned their at
tention to Jones and Jensen. Miss
Brady administered first aid treatment
to Jones while Miss Maulick drove the
car to the Atlantic City Hospital.
Kroeckel leaves a widow and two.

whom he was living, having separat-
ed from his wife. There are also sew
eral brothers and sisters living. The
dead man was a veteran of the World
War, having had about five years ser
vice in the United States Marine Corps.
He and his companions had been on a
trip to Atlantic City in search of en-
ployment and were returning to Egg
Harbor when the accident occurred.
He had promised his mother to re-
turn in time for supper and she was
waiting for him when informed of the
sad occurrence. She collapsed when
told of her sons death.

COUNTY TAKES
OFFICE LEASE
Suite of "a Offices to be Rented
On Proposed New Seventh
Floor of Bank Building.
DETECTIVE BILL APPROVED

At the regular monthly meeting OF
the County Board of Freeholders in
Atlantic City on Wednesday, a resolu.
ton was adopted calling for the At
lantic City Commissioners to construct
a detour route along Inside Thorough
fare from Albany avenue, to connect
with the Dorset avenue bridge. This
route to be used while extensive re.
pairs are being made to the Albany
avenue bridge. There was a lengthy
discussion of this matter prior to the
passage of the resolution. Some Free
holders desired a new bridge at Alba
ny avenue, but Chairman Tomlin, OF
the Road Committee, stated that it
would be best to repair now and let
the question of a new bridge rest until
after the work of paving Absecon bou-
levard was completed. In the mean
time, he asserted that the Albany ave
nue. bridge and boulevard might be
taken over as a state road in cennee-
ton with the state route from Penns-
grove to North Jersey.
The Board decided to lease from the
Guarantee Trust Company a suite OF
twenty-four Offices on the new seventh
floor, to be constructed on the build
ing at the corner of North Carolina
and Atlantic avenues. The county
offices would occupy the entire floor,
and the annual rental will be $4,000.
F~reeholders Parker and Kesler objec-
ted to the lease and asked how much
the county is now paying for Office
rentals in that city.
Deputy County Treasurer Franklin
Z. Smith told them the county now
paid $500, but that this would be
considerably increased at the expira-
ton OF the lease running. Mr.
Parker asked if the increase would go
as high as $4,000, but no one answer
ed it in the affirmative.
It was announced that the work al
the County Asylum has been started.
DR.. Edward Guion, superintendent, de
clared that when it is completed the
county asylum will be one OF the finest
in the country. The addition will cost
about $4,000.
The last of the bills for private de-
tectives incurred by former Prosecu-
tor Gaskill were approved by the
board. The bill was from the North
western Detective Agency for 10000
less 1925 which Judge Smathers re
fused to approve, as representing work
in connection with disorderly houses.

BEWARE Of WOMEN,
STUDENTS ADVISED
Woid Marriage on Less Than
$4,000 Year, President
Creeden Adds.

Women, sentimental poems, mar
rage and gambling were pictured as
poisonous potion to the career Of
the average young professional man
by President John B. Creeden of
Georgetown University at the open
Ing yesterday afternoon of the insti-
tution's medical and dental schools.
Imparting little advice to the stu
cents. President Creeden said:
Don't get married on less than
$4,000 year.
Don't become more interested in
the social life than in your studies.
II is impossible TO indulge in both.
Don't write. poems too often to
young ladies. l don't mean for you
to become friars or monks but the
fascinations Gf the social life. IL al
lowed to have first place, will make
1t Impossible for you to attend seri-
ously to your studies.
Don't "RattIe Bones"
IF you belong TO one of the fra
ternities. don't rattle the bones or
indulge in other forms of gambling"
President Creeden pointed out that
most young men who attend profes-
sional schools begin the year with
serious intentions of reaching the
goal that is already marked for them,
but unless they have the determine
tion to stick to that course they Will
find distractions elsewhere. Others be-
come fascinated with social life or
perhaps with some young lady, he
added. and no matter how hard they
pursue their studies these are times
when social attractions sooner or
later are allowed to interfere with
their duties.
