WONDERFUL SOPRANO

Henry E. Krehbiel, musical critic
of the New York Tribune, and trans
lator of Mozart's famous comic opera,
"Cosi Fan Tutte," has just been made
defendant in libel suit filed against
him by Gadski, the great prima donna
Krehbiel is a brilliant writer, as
evidenced by the exquisite and clever
English in his remarkable translation
of Lorengoda Ponte's clever lines,
which at the request of Joseph II of
Austria were set to music by the i'm
mortal Mozart
Seldom have sprightliness of plot,
comic situation, clever dialogue and
melodious setting been so cleverly
combined as in the forthcoming pre-
sentation of "Cosi Fan Tutte,'' at the
university auditorium next Friday
evening, for which seats are now on
sale at Hodgins'.
The company presenting this opera
is road company direct from New
York. Irene Williams, the prima
donna, is the leading Brunswick art
ist and is described as "demure,
beautiful, and of appealing voice" In
Miss Williams Moscow has the chance
to hear lyric soprano of note and

CHINESE ALPHABET WILL
LOSE $1,000 LETTERS

San Francisco-(A. P)-The com
plete reorganization of the language
of 400,000000 persons, approximately
one-third of the worlds population,
by the substitution of new phon-
etic alphabet of forty symbols to re-
place the 10000 chaotic ideographs
now used, and the wiping out of pre-
cedents more than 5000 years old, is
the gigantic task being undertaken by
an American firm in order to open
up new and limitless field for it's
business.
The country is China and the
American firm is the Mergenthaler
Linotype company, which found it i'm
possible to adopt the 10000 Chinese
ideographs to the linotype machine.
No overnight conversion of China
is anticipated by the American organ
ization, according to F. c. Van
Schaick managing agent of the San
Francisco office to the Mergenthaler
company, who has just returned from
an extensive trip through China in
connection with the new phonetic al
phabet.
The young Chinese are being

troll and in the mission institutions,
said Mr. Van Schaick. "The name
of the new phonetic alphabet is Chu
Yin Tzumu, and it is thought the
teaching of this system to the younger
generation we hope to arrive at our
goal. The new alphabet today is the
recognized medium of intercourse in
the Mandarin-s speaking provinces.
The idea is not original with the
Mergenthaler company Individual
altruists have blaZed the trail for
the last three or four decades When
China became a republic in 1912,
body was convened in Peking. upon
government initiative, to consider the
subject of phonetic alphabet of the
Chinese language to the end that a
common pronunciation might further
education. While written or printed
Chinese means the same anywhere to
any Chinaman who can read, Chinese
as spoken in one province may be un-
intelligible in another"

DEARY BOY HAS THRILLING
NIGHT WITH COUGAR

Cecil Brown, the nineteen-year-
son of Mrs. Jack Irwin, had a some
what thrilling adventure with a full
grown cougar at Camp 10 last We'd
nesday. evening. He and Mr.. Irwin
were alone at the camp and Cecil
had gone to the spring, some distance
from the cook house to get bucket
of water. He ran squarely upon the
cougar at the spring and in a second
both he and the big cat were engaged
in hand to hand fight" the cou-
gar clawing with all it's might and
Cecil defending himself as best he
could. He called for Mr.. Irwin to
come to his rescue and the cougar
took fright and beat it into the woods.
Cecil made his way back to the cook
house bleeding and weak and just
about all in. His hands were badly
scratched up by the cougars sharp
claws. 1t is probable that a cougar
hunt will be organized. There seems
to be several of them in that vicinity.

GASOLINE TAX
returns HUGE
RECEIPTS 100000
FOR TWO YEARS-GOVERNOR
SIGNS BILL.

Estimates of the revenue to be de-
rived from Idaho's two-cents-per-g gal
Ion gasoline tax place the amount the
highway fund will receive at more
than six hundred thousand dollars for
the tWo-year period House bill No.
142, providing for putting this law
into effect has been signed by Gov
ernor c. c. Moore.
1t is thought by state officials that
the law will be in operation in the
state shortly after April l, as the bill
authorizing the tax is an emergency
measure and will not have to wait
the usual 60 days after the adjourn
ment of the session before becoming
effective
Based on Reports.
The estimate of the revenue which
the state will derive from the gaso-
line tax for highway purposes is
based on information received from
five other western states having a
gasoline tax law that has been in
operation from two to three years,
says The Statesman. Most of these
states have the two-cent tax, while
others added an additional cent this
gCdt u OldH put Iu6 ldN lIltO GueCI
this year with tax of 215 cents per
gallon.
From compilation of the informa-
ton furnished by all these states,
showing the total revenues and the
number of cars registered, it is found
that the average car in each of these
five states consumed 391 gallons of
gasoline per year, or yearly revenue
from each car operated of $7.82 for a
two-cent tax. For the approximately
10000 cars registered in Idaho each
year the total revenue would be $391,-
900.
Revenues for 1923, however, will be
reduced because of the law not go
ing into effect until about April /,
and it is estimated that the receipts
for this year will be approximately
$235, 900. The total for the two-year
period would therefore be $626,000.
Machinery for collecting the tax is
being worked out by the commission
er of law enforcement, the state Of
ficial named in the bill as the au-
thorized person to whom the tax IS
to be paid. When collected, the
money will be placed in the highway
fund of the state, to be used by the
of public works in the
or maintenance of high
ways of the state

McAlIister Company
Coming to P'ville
Will Open Large Coal Yard at
Bayview Avenue and Shore
Fast Line in May.

The McAllister Coal Company, one
of the largest concerns in that line
in New Jersey, is about to open a
new coal yard in P~leasantville. 1t is
the intention to have the yard in ope-
ration and ready to deliver coal from
there sometime in May. In the mean
time the company will receive orders
for coal from Pleasantville and yicin-
ity and will guarantee delivery on all
orders accepted.
The coming of this company to
P%leasantville is looked upon as a pro-
gressiye move for ~Pleasantville and
vicinity. The several local coal deal
ers have done their part during the
coal shortage period in their endeav-
ors to supply the demand, but many
times Atlantic City dealers had to be
called upon to supply the coal needed
by families here. With McAllister
having a large yard here, there will
be no more worry over the supply for
local consumption, as, with the other
local dealers, they can take care of
the situations as they arise.
McAllister came to Atlantic City
thirty-three years ago, after having
established a yard in Camden prior to
that. Then he started a yard in Phil
adelphia, and later another at West
Collingswood, as well as taking over
a second yard in Atlantic City. In
their several yards at this time there
is room for the storage of V e 1000
600 tons of coal. The Pleasantyille
yard will be of sufficient size and
fully equipped to store large quanti-
ties of coal and will have all modern
machinery, electrically equipped, for
loading wagons and unloading cars
and the quick delivery of orders.

Probable Increase
In Some Water Rates
Atlantic County Water Company
To Apply for Same to Public
Utilities Commission.

Consumers of water supplied by the
Atlantic County Water Company, in.
Guiding business places and residents
of this city, Absecon, Mortified, Lin
wood and Somers Point, will probably
be called upon to pay higher rates fol-
water, commencing July l next. The
company officers have announced that
an application will be made to the
Public Utilities Commission of New
Jersey for permission to increase
some of the rates.
The reason is given that heretofore
the returns on the money invested
have been insufficient to meet taxes,
operating costs, depreciation of value
of property and, after deducting these
expenses, to have a fair return on the
capital invested. Now the Company
expects to have to expand to meet in
creased demand for water, which will
mean additional capital invested.
In asking for an increase there will
be a meter service charge, ranging,
according to the size of supply, from
So to 1915 per year. The consump'
ton charge will be As cents per 1000
gallons per quarter, where 1880 gal
Ions are consumed, and over that
amount 40 cents per 1000 gallons,
The minimum rate will be SIS pei
year instead of $12 as now charged,
A discount of five per cent. will be
allowed on bills paid within fifteen
days from date of bills.

ELECTRIC WIRES BREAK.

While the storm was raging Satur.
day night, the high power electric
wire, carrying current for power for
Shore Fast Line cars, broke neal Dol
phin station. This caused half an
hours delay in the running of cars to
the great inconvenience of passengers.
The wires in this section have a habit
of breaking during severe storms.
Breaks are frequent anywhere be-
tween Dolphin and B%akersville.
The falling of the high tension wire,
which carries a contact of 1000 volts,
halted all traffic on both the north and
southbound divisions of the line, as
well as the Pennsylvania Electric line.
The wires upon falling came in con-
tact with the wet rails and illuminat-
ed the skies for miles around, and
burned brightly until an emergency
crew was sent out from Atlantic City,
shutting off the power and repaired
the breaks before serious damage had
been done.
