AMBULANCE BADLY
NEEDED IN BEVERLY
Beverly Girl Rushed To Hospital
Tuesday Night

The need Of an ambulance in the
City of Beverly was again demon
strated on Monday night when Edith
Marshall, of Magnolia street, was
taken suddenly i'll with appendicitis
and ordered removed from her home
to the Jefferson Hospital at Philadel-
phia.
To do this an ambulance was need
ed, and the City of Burlington was
called upon for the loan of their new
machine. 1t was readily obtained
and in less time than it takes to tell,
the ambulance was at the door of the
Marshall home.
A move was started some time ago
by the members of the Salvage
Corps for the purpose of raising
money for an ambulance but it soon
blew over and nothing was done.
The old machine, which has probably
performed more acts of mercy than
any other machine of its kind in the
county, lies in barn total wreck.
due to the hitting of Public Ser
vice trolley car.
The Salvage Corp is an organiza-
ton which has functioned in the
City of Beverly for some years past
and is composed of members of the
two fire companies, who maintained
the old truck mostly as private car
to run to fires in and to go out joy
riding on the warm summer nights
which was about all it was fit for
when it would run. AS for taking
an injured or seriously ill person to
hospital, it was worth their life to
ride in it, although twas pressed
into service at all times.
Certainly the people of Beverly
have right to an ambulance and it
is high time that someone brought
the matter before Council and not de-
pend on few men to get machine
that in all probability would be
second hand.

RIVER PIRATES CUT
RUM BARGE ADRIFT

River pirates early Tuesday morn
ing came up the Rancocas Creek to
the old Adams Wharf in a power
launch and cut the hawsers which
held the William d. Blades, the ocean
going barge, which figured in the
Burlington County liquor raid, adrift.
State Policemen Rankin and Green,
who were on duty at the Raft farm,
heard the noise of the launch motor,
and reported to Lieutenant Nichols
who ordered them to investigate.
Upon their arrival at the wharf they
found the barge drifting slowly up
the stream and two boys towing two
row boats which were loaded with
hawsers from the side of the craft.
The troopers manned row boat
that was handy and interceeded the
boys in midstream. The boys pushed
their motor to full speed and were
going to run through when they were
cowed by the appearance of the
troopers guns. A shot across the
bow of the boat caused them to de-
crease their speed and Rankin or
dered them to head for shore.
Arriving at the wharf the boys
were going to make dash for liberty
when they were again halted by the
voices of Green and Rankin, "Move
and you are dead men" shouted the
troopers. Needless to say they didn't
move and calmly submitted to arrest.
The youths identified themselves as
Richard Cummings, eighteen, River
Street, Camden; Harry Cummings, his
brother, sixteen, Erie street Camden;
and Earnest Pickering, sixteen, Cram
err HILL They refused to talk and
were sent to the State prison at
Trenton.

M. E. EPWORTH
LEAGUE ACTIVITIES

The regular monthly meeting of
the Epworth League was held at the
home of Joseph A. Wolfe on Friday
evening last. An exceptionally large
number of the members were present
in. spite of the bad weather.
The meeting opened with the an
nouncement that the study of Next
co would be taken up at the regular
Wednesday evening service, conduct
ed under the supervision of the pas
tor, Rev. o. c. Bovine.
Several suggestions were made by
the fourth vice-president, among
these being the investigation of the
recreations of the town and the pro-
gram for the league in the near fu-
ture. 1t was suggested that COM
mittee be appointed to investigate
the recreations of the town and try
10 improve them.
The question of an Epworth League
choir was brought up and the nomi-
nation and election of Miss Elizabeth
Rhodes for choir leader resulted.
A committee was appointed to take
charge of the banquet to be held on
October oath.

W|L[INGDORO FARMER
EXPRESSES OPINION
Threatens To Shoot Anyone Entering
His Castle Without Warrant.

"a shoot the first man that puts
his foot through my door," shouted
Leonard Kimble, of Broad street and
the Pike late last night, when State
Police, commanded by Lieutenant
Nichols and Charles Carslake under
took to search his house and out
buildings for hidden rum without q
search warrant
Kimble was i'm the house and heard
a noise in the barn and upon inves-
tigating he found the officers" What
are you doing here" Kimble demand
ed. ooh! just looking around for
some of the missing rum" replied the
trooper.
"Let me see your warrant?" Kim
bic asked, and when none was pro
duced he told the world in no uncer
tain tones that his house was his cas-
tie and be - if anyone was go
ing to trepass without the necessary
papers.
"You might as we'll keep cool about
it for we are going right through,
said Carslake.
There's my house." shouted tht
irate farmer, land the first man thai
passes through the door will be {
dead one" With this remark Kianbl'
disappeared into the house closing
the door with bang.
The officers after lengthy confat
evidently decided that it was best mo-
to attempt to enter the house unit
some later date, as they rode off il
the direction of Rancocas and did no
return.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
To FORM IN BEVERLY
All Other Towns Near Here Have
Civic Organization


A superficial SURVEY of most of the
business men of Beverly was made
the past week by several prominent
residents of this city, relative to the
forming of a Chamber of Commerce.
According to one of the men who are
making this move, it is unanimously
favored although it has been said
that Kiwanis Club was more strong
ly advocated
Beverly is the only city along the
Delaware River that does not have an
active body of men working for the
best interests of the city. Riverside
and Delanco has the Kiwanis Club,
Burlington, a Chamber of Commerce
and a Kiwanis Club, Bordentown the
Lions Club and several other cities
have a Board of Trade Or Chamber of
Commerce, while Beverly stands alone
with nothing to boost it.
With the coming of the Delaware
River Bridge, which is now less than
year off, Beverly together with
other surrounding cities will start to
boom, and already the other cities
have realized this and are prepared.
1t is the general opinion that the
bridge will bring certain amount
of new residents to all sections of
Burlington county, some of which
will be people of the very lowest
class.
If Beverly is prepared with modern
new homes and the city in general is
beautiful, they win attract the peo-
pie of general means, and if not, the
Aiff-raff that is sure to come with the
completion of this great engineering
feat will find haven in this city.
A few years ago there was organic
ed in this city an association formed
of Beverly merchants, but after few
months nothing was heard of it and
nothing has been heard of ever since.
One member said that everybody pas
sed the buck and it was case OF
let George do it. when anything was
to be done and after time George
got tired Of doing all the work and
the organization went ker-fiooie.
If Beverly is going to stand still
and let the other towns and boroughs
along the Delaware River build up,
all we'll and good; but if Beverly is
ever going to make good and place
itself on the map, there is no time
like the. present.
1t is presumed that if plans work
out to the satisfaction of the men
who have some pride in their city,
and are trying to form Chamber of
Commerce, a meeting of the citizens
will be called within the next few
weeks. 1t is known fact that there
are certain amount of shirkers in
every city and if an organization for
the benefit Of Beverly is formed these
few must be left on the outside until
such time that they decide TO put
their shoulder to the wheel and heir

The Kitchen Cupboard.

THE ld-fashioned kitchen closet
is a thing of the past-or Al
least where it actually is not the
housewife who has to put up with il
devoutly wishes that it were. In the
modern kitchen every available bit
of wall space is used as the back
ground for some sort of cupboard or
cabinet. Thus space and steps are
saved and convenience achieved. With
this new system of cupboards and
cabinets the large kitchen is no longer
necessity nor even a desirability. It
is possible now to buy sectional
kitchen cupboards. With these ii Is
often possible to get just the right
shape and size cupboards TO fit into
your space. There are smaller cabi-
nets to be placed above the regular
tier of shelves. so that even space
near the ceiling may be used. This
space would naturally be warm, but
there are some food supplies that are
not injured by heat, and surplus
kitchen utensils and dishes not often
needed might be slowed away in
these high cupboards quite safely.
Open shelves are not usually desir
able, but it is certainly not necessary
to have glass doors. They are much
more expensive than plain wooden
doors. To be sure, it is desirable 70
be able to see what cupboard con
tains before opening the door, but
housewife or cook soon learns the
contents of each cabinet and shelf In
her kitchen.
Some of the finest kitchen shelves
and cabinets are made of steel en-
ameled white. There are obvious ad-
vantages in this. However, wooden
shelves. if kept with ordinary care.
are perfectly sanitary. They should
be treated to a good coat of ename]
paint, If possible, and, of course, there
should be no paper placed on them.
