CLOTHING SPECIALIST TO BE AT
COURT HOUSE MARCH 10Th

Mrs. Catherine Griebel, clothing
specialist from New Brunswick, who
won many a woman's heart last year
by her make-your-own-hat campaign,
will again this year give the women
something snappy in Permanent Pat
terms"
In order that every woman in Cape
May County may have the opportunity
of meeting Mrs. Griebel and hearing
what she has to say on styles and
home dressmaking, a countrywide
meeting, free to women, has been ar
ranged to be held in the Court House
Building, Cape May Court House,
Thursday, March 10Th, at 2 o'clock
P. M.
Mrs. Griebel plans to show hats and
dresses and give the ladies of the
county a chance to see some of the
latest style gowns that they can make
for themselves with this permanent
pattern.
For sometime past it has looked as
though no Home Economics work
would be carried on in Cape May
County, due to the demands Of other
counties who have not yet the OPP
p%ortunity of having the clothing
specialist as Cape May County has
had. There is a strong popular de-
mand, however, that some women's
work be carried on this year in Cape
May County. This demand was made
more forceful an the 9th of March,
when Miss Marion Buffers, state
leader of Home Economics, met in the
Court House Building a group Of lead
ers who had charge of millinery work
last year. Nutrition, millinery and
dressmaking were discussed; but as
the majority of those present wanted
dress patterns it was granted.

CLEANLINESS FIRST WHEN PRE-
PAIRING THE BABY'S BOTTLES

Even if you baby only gets one
bottle a day-or if it gets fve-it is
of the greatest Importance not only
that the formula be just suited to him,
but that it be prepared in an entirely
Clearly fashion.
Everything hat comes in contact
with the food should be clean-not
just look clean, but be clean; that is,
free from germs is the advice of DR..
Florence Powdermaker, extension
specialist in nutrition, of the New Jer-
place select bottles that have no sharp
corners which cannot be cleaned. They
should be rounded on the inside. Buy
nipples that can be turned inside out
and scrubbed with a brush kept for
that purpose.
Above all, remember that soar and
boiling water are the great purifiers.
Wash not only the bottles and nipples
in hot suds, but also the mixing pit
cher, the measuring glass and spoons,
a jar for the nipples and cover for
the bottle (if shoppers are used.
Rinse in hot water and boil for 5 min
utes. After sterilizing be careful not
to touch anything on the inside. Don't
stand the bottles upside down. Fill
them as soon as possible and keep
cold until used. Cover with rubber
shoppers, sterile cotton, wax paper
held On with rubber bands. Put the
nipples in theN sterilized jar and keep
covered. Have another jar for the
used nipples.
1t is best to have a separate shelf
on which all the utensils needed may
be kept and not used for any other
purpose.-Issued by the State Agri-
cultural College, New Brunswick. N. j.,

BEN INGERSOLL MAKES TRIP TO
NEW YORK ~

Wildwood, N. j., March BOB. c.
Ingersoll, an undertaken, of N. 1909
Pacific avenue, and Cape May County
coroner was the victim of a smart
confidence man. Ingersoll had a trip
to New York and is $50 poorer than
when he started. He is rejoicing that
he is out no more.
Ingersoll, who is known as "Ben,"
received a telephone call from New
York %purporting to come from Harry
Devine. The message stated hat De-
vines father, an old friend of Inger-
soils, and a member of the Wildwood
Crest Fishing Club, had died and his
last request was that Ingersoll should
bring his body back to Wildwood and
bury it at Cape May Court House.
Ingersoll said he received the mes
sage at Z o'clock last Friday night and
the arrangement was for him to meet
Devine at the Hotel Martinique. De-
vines details of the demise were that
his father had died in a Brooklyn hos
pital and hat rather than bury him
from their residence in Amity street,
Brooklyn, the body should be shipped
direct to Wildwood Monday. Accord
ing to Devine the body was supposed
to be at Campbells undertaking estab-
lishment, New York City, awaiting
shipment.
Ingersoll went to New York last
night and met Devine at the hotel as
planned. There he heard the story of
the death, but Campbell, the under
taker, compelled Devine to pay for his
work before the body could be re-
moved. AS he, Devine, was a '1ittle
short" he asked Ingersoll to pay the
fares to Wildwood for himself, his
mother, wife and two children. He
a%cquiesced and gave Devine $50. See
ing it came so easy Devine asked for
$40 more for flowers and he opened
his heart and purse and handed over
the ten-spot.
Ingersoll then called up the Phila-
delphia papers from New York and
gave the death notices and even went
so far as to call up Rev. James Dough-
erty, of the Presbyterian Church, this
city, to have him conduct the services
Wednesday. The men then parted, De-
vine apparently to get his wife and
family to escort them to the station
in time to get the 8 o'clock express to
Philadelphia. He was to meet Inger-
soil at the Pennsylvania station at
2.40, at which time Campbell was to
have the body there.
At the appointed time Devine failed
to appear and a couple of hours later
Ingersoll, curious, went to Campbell's
undertaking establishment and to the
Brooklyn hospital and finally to the
Brooklyn Board of Health. There
was no record of death of a man
named Devine. When Ingersoll inves-
tigated the Amity street address he
found it to be a large warehouse on
the wharf. After giving vent to his
feelings Ingersoll decided hat he had
been stung, but was happy hat it had
not cost him more.-Wildwood cor
respondent of Philadelphia Record.

This is the second of series of
articles written by Mr.. Bell on the oil
leasing program proclaimed by Sec
retary of the Interior Albert B. Fall
in a recent public statement.
These articles have been written by
Mr. Bell especially for the trade union
publications through the International
Labor News Service. They are writ
ten for the information of those who
might be misled by the interview of
the Secretary of the Interior released
December 21, 1922; and by the propa-
ganda with which the press, especially
the oil journals, now are loaded seek
ing to Justify the action of the secre-
tary of April Z, 1922, in leasing naval

Company.

planned, is composed of four delegates
from each member nation. Two of
these represent the government, one
represents the workers and one repre-
sentS employers. There are thus
three kinds of delegates. Where ma
tion is not member-and the United
States is in that category-organiz
workers and organized employers may
participate unoffcially in behalf of
those whom they represent; and that,
understand, is what Mr.. Barnes has
in mind.
81 think such participation, or col
laboration, will be decidedly helpful,
and now that the effort has been be-
gun, it may be possible for both work
ers and employers of the United
States to sit in the next annual meet
ing of the international labor organi-
zation in Geneva. This will be partic-
ularly gratifying, because this is the
one world organization that is actually
functioning in constructive, helpful
manner"

By ROBERT C. BELL

Formerly Special Assistant to the
Attorney General in Charge With
drawn Oil Land Matters.
1t may not be amiss to recall what
the government is to receive for it's
royalties from the naval reserve under
the secretary's program. 1t is pro-
vided that non-interest bearing "oil
certificates" shall be issued monthly
by the Mammoth Oil Company to the
government showing the amount of
royalty oil and the value thereof
These certificates can be exchanged
for: (a) steel tank storage, (b) fuel
oil, (c) gasoline, kerosene, lubricating
oil or other petroleum products or (d)
portion in cash under certain con-
ditions.
Uncle Sam Pays
(a) If the government takes storage
tanks, as proposed, the Mammoth Oil
Company buys the materials and does
the constructing, and the government
does the paying. The materials are
not to be purchased, or the work done
under the competitive bidding method
Sinclair becomes purchasing agent
and his acts are subject only to esti-
mates.
Two Dollars for One
(b) When fuel oil is taken in eX-
change, the oil certificates are not
redeemed at their face value. The
government does not get dollars
worth of fuel oil for a dollars worth
of it's crude oil. At this point in the
negotiations the secretary must have
missed number on "his program"
He was dealing with experienced
players" and it was arranged that
the exchange should be on a quantity
basis and not on valuation basis.
Why? Because the high grade Tea
pot crude oil at Mid Continent prices
is worth about twice as much as fuel
oil. The Mammoth Oil Company ac-
cording to this program will receive
two dollars worth of crude for one
dollars worth of fuel. The contract
provides that one barrel of fuel shall
be delivered to the government for
one barrel of crude, provided the
Teapot crude tests 81 degrees Baume
or over; but if the test is lower then
only 63-100 of barrel of fuel shall
be delivered for barrel of crude.
! Under the circumstances, the Nam
moth Oil Company can refine the
royalty oil, extract the gasoline and
kerosene content and pay the gov
ernment by delivering 63 barrels of
the residuum for 100 barrels of the
crude Further comment on this part
of the program" is unnecessary.

FAVOR SWEATING


London, England unionists
are preparing to resist government
proposals that would virtually de-
stroy the trade board acts.
The first act was passed in 1909
as result of trade union agitation
against the sweating" system among
oppressed and low-wage workers.
Since the passing of the 1918
amendment 65 boards affecting more
than 100000 workers have been set
up. Seventy per cent of these work
ers are women. These boards now
set wages of many classes of unor-
ganized and low-paid workers outside
the most fragrant sweating trades.
The governments proposal to
amend the act is based on the theory
that a trade board should be con-
cerned only with the prevention of
sweating" of the worst form, and
not, as now, with the fixation for
scheduled trades, of minimum wage

tion of his program" that the gov
ernment will receive MIDI Continent
prices for it's 5000 barrels OF oil
daily, or whatever is produced What
a consideration Two years ago the
United States owned in Wyoming
two of the greatest oil fields in the
world, both q part of the public do
main, one dedicated to the American
navy Today we receive Mid-Conti-
nent prices, the fair market value of
oil of similar quality in the Mid-Conti-
nent fields, for 5000 barrels daily
from one of these fields, while from
the other, we receive non-interest
bearing certificates for part of the
oil, called royalty, and these GER
tificates are to be exchanged at half
what they should be worth, in our
opinion, for storage tanks, etc. And
yet, the secretary calls these tran
sactions successful. Who did the sec
retary represent?

SHIP SUBSIDY LOBBYISTS
SEEK TO COMPEL CHANGE
IN HOUSE BY .'BACKFIRE"
Screws" Being Put to Members Who Balk on Bill and
Lame Ducks Who Support it Are Promised
Jobs After March 4th

Long Beach and Pasadena are in Rep
resentative Lineberger's district
These letters to the representative
criticized him severely for voting
against the bill when it passed the
house.
Some of the letters contain the
statement that while the writer's had
not read the bill still they believed it
good one that should be supported.
This is evidence that the friends of
the bill hope through manufactured
propaganda to brow beat and intimi-
date the members who refuse to sup
port the measure and that the anti
labor organizations of Los Angeles,
Long Beach and Pasadena are willing
supporters of that program.
To the honor of Representative
Lineberger let it be said that he in
dignantly rejected the advice of the
anti-labor associations. He wrote
each of them that as long as he was
a member of congress he would vote
according to what he believed would
be for the best interests of the people
and that when he could not do that
he would resign.
The attacks upon him and others
have only served to make them more
incictant in thpi, efforts IN dafeat tha
ship subsidy bill.

Washington, D. C.-Those who
would sell the ship subsidy to the
United States are becoming desper-
ate. They are starting ''back fire"
on members of the house who refused
to vote for the ship subsidy bill and
are promising the 'lame ducks" in
both houses appointments after March
4th if they will do their utmost to
enact this legislation
Mr. Lasker, the chairman of the
shipping board, says he is confident
that the bill will pass the senate. He
is afraid, however, that after it again
reaches the house from the conference
committee that enough members will
vote against it to prevent approval
of the conference committees report.
Therefore, Chambers of Commerce,
Rotarian Clubs, Manufacturers As
sociations, bankers and other CONNER
eial interests are writing letters to
members of the house who voted
against the bill in order to compel
them to vote for it when it is return
ed to that body

OPPOSE FINGER PRINT
ING

Lansing, Mich.-State Representa-
tive Corliss, of Detroit, wants every
one in Michigan finger printed and
has introduced bill in the state leg
islature.
According to Mr.. Corliss' plan every
Michigan resident would have to pre-
sent himself to the proper authori-
ties once year and be finger printed
and also give his name, citizenship,
last address, and other information.
The bill forbids any firm or organiza-
ton employing anyone who is not
registered.
1t is expected that if the bill passes
the next move would be to appropriate
a few million dollars to make the law
effective. A vast army of agents
would be necessary to inspect every
factory and home
