NEW A s. p CHAIN STORE
COMING TO BEVERLY

The rumor that the Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company is planning to
open a new store in Beverly has per-
sisted for several weeks and although
no formal statement has been made,
the rumor has been partly confirmed
through the admission of an employee
of the Fox corporation that one of
the Bever-Lee theatre building stores
has been leased to a chain grocery
company.
1t has been learned that the new
store now building in Delanco at the
corner of Burlington and Vine streets
will on completion be occupied as an
A. & p. store and the present one on
Burlington avenue will be moved to
Beverly.
1t is believed the company will
then maintain two stores in Beverly
one of which will contain meats.

TOO MANY LADS
NOW DRINKING
Not Fault of Prohibition but Owing
To Lack of Home Training

"The youngsters are drinking, l
am sorry to say, but still it is not the
fault of prohibition, but the lack of
home training" declared former
Judge Harold B. Wells, of Bordentown
in an address in which he defended
prohibition to the Shrine Club at the
Ambassador, Atlantic City, on Mon
day.
"The children are not allowed to
bring themselves up, said Wells
"All of us are animals, and if not
held in restraint will 90 wild, and
that the situation with the child
rem. If there was no attempt at pro-
hibition, and still no home training,
conditions would have been the same
among the younger folk | feel free
to say hold the mothers responsible.
1t was they who in the old days re-
ceived credit for a we'll brought up
family and now we must blame the
present day mother for conditions.
1t is the mother who sees more of the
children, Or should than the father
and it is she who could exert the
right kind of influence"
Wells went on to say that prohi-
bition has resulted in less drinking
among adults, despite reports to the
contrary. "Those who say drinking
has not lessened, but has increased
since prohibition are positively crazy"
he said. 81 have attended twenty
banquets in the past month. At each
banquet there was an attendance of
from 200 to 1900 men. and at them all
combined there have not been more
than six men who were drunk Com
pare this record with days of yore,
when with the first course wine was
served and continued to be served
throughout the evening. AT the end
the POSTMASTER himself was unable
to utter coherent statement and if
he could, no one would listen to him
The guests were most hilarious by
that time. Even banquets of the bar
associations were orgies. Now there
is quiet dignity and real enjoyment
to be had at banquets with no brown
tastes in the morning
Prohibition enforcement has never
been in the hands of its friends" he
concluded land until it is, no salts
faction can result"

TEARS And TRAGEDY
TURNS TO COMEDY
Charlie Chaplin at Peak of Career
in The Gold Rush

Charlie Chaplin's new picture,
''The Gold Rush." coming to the
Bever-Lee Theatre next Monday and
Tuesday is announced as a comedy
drama with story Of laughter and
tears and of hope deferred. 1t is a
rugged story with the spectacle of
a valiant weakling in search of gold
in the biting billiards. of the north.
"The Gold Rush." a United Artists
Corporation release, brings Charlie
Chaplin to the topmost peak of his
dazzling career. His work in this
picture win place him secure as the
greatest pantomimist of all recorded
time.
This story of thes@Alaskan gold
rush; interviewer with all the jab-
bings of fate that well can come to
one who is typical of life almost
reaching the goal, and watching it's
shadow disappear with the panied
expression that only Chaplin can
wears a story crowned with the
majesty of enterprise and the futility
of it. i
This comedy-drama-tragedy of the
Alaska of by-gone days is called
Chaplin's greatest picture for two
reasons. 1t is said to represent his
intellectual and artistic growth
fresh from his dramatic triumph.
"a Woman of Paris" and secondly,
it runs the entire gamut of human
emotions; the blended panorama of
life, the subtle and vital essence of
it, the defeat and the victory and
growth of soul in struggle.
And all through the picture Charlie
has not forgotten the children
There is a tenderness in the little
comedian for the children of the
nations. They were his first admir-
ers and we'll he knows it. 1t was
their response that led him on to
fame and fortune. And always, in
the making of comedy, he considers
them.
And yet, in his role of the hard
luck sourdough, Chaplin presents the
biography of life with complete
understanding and sympathy. And
while the pathos and sufferings of
the characters are converted into
laughter, there is linked to the pic
ture chain of circumstantial trag-
edy that is relieved by the great
comedians ribald mastery of panto-
mine and comedy.

SUSPICION LINGERS
AROUND OFFICIALS
Justice Lloyd's Pointed Charge on
Rum Scandal to New Grand jury

Suspicion created that there has
been something wrong in the County
detectives office in connection with
rum running on the Rancocas Creek,
revealed in the barge raid and seiz-
ure on October /, was given further
impetus yesterday when Supreme
Court Justice Lloyd charged the De
cember Grand Jury and referred to
the alleged protection given by
county detectives to certain phases
of crime" and then said that the
allegations were so closely interviewer
with the introduction of Intoxicating
liquors in the county that the two
must necessarily be Investigated to-
gether.
Justice Lloyd told the new Grand
Jurors that their predecessors had
yesterday reported their inability to
complete the rum scandal investiga-
ton on account of shortage of time
before terminating their duties and
the work would be passed on to the
new body. He emphasized the hnpor-
lance of inquiring into everything
suggestive of protection of rum run
ners, and added that there is nothing
more insidiously dangerous than cor
ruption among officers who shield
and countenance crime that they were
sworn to stop, as the shielding even
tually will spread until there is no
branch of the administration of JUS
tice that will be safe in their hands.
Aaron L. Collins, Moorestown far
mer was made foreman of the jury.
1t was stated that former Judge L.
W. Loder, of Bridgeton, special pros
ecutor would continue his work with
this jury but nothing would be done
on the rum case until after the hoi-
idays.

CAMP DIX sHACKS TO GO;
SUMMER CAMP HEREAFTER
One Hundred and Fifty IN. P's' Go
to Fort Jay Next Month Six Lett

There is a very definite report that
Camp Dix is to be dismantled in the
future and the big government res
ervation used only for summer train
ing in the hereafter. The rumor is
that all but six of the approximately
three hundred frame buildings on the
grounds are to be torn down and
that when soldiers are sent to the res
ervation for summer instruction they
wiN live in tents. To that end the
National Guard area on New York
avenue from First to Eighth streets,
is to be clearedof all buildings and
tents are to be put up there in the
summer.
The M. P. force, with the quarter
master corps and medical attachment
in all numbering about $50 men, is
10 be sent to Fort Jay early in
January and quarters are already
being prepared for the arrival of
the SOluleIS rum OdillP LIN II -
said to be the plan to leave only six
men on guard duty.
Another move in early contempla-
ton is said to be the discontinuance
of the pumping station at New Lis
bon. The present system derives its
supply from the Rancocas creek
and the water is piped to the camp
through wooden pipes. 1t is said that
when the water is drawn out of the
pipes they are almost certain to col
lapse. The water supply viii then be
obtained from artesian wells on the
reservation, They have a well there
on which $4,000 was spent by the
military authorities with some civil
help last winter, before the job was
given over to an experienced well
driller from Philadelphia who at a
compensation Of $40 per day soon
had a fine flow Of water
It is also said that with the going
of the M. P. attachment to Camp
Jay, the canteens will also be closed
as there will be practically nobody
left to patronize them.

CARTOON is A POWER
NOT JUST ORNAMENT
liumor and Sarcasm is Great MOulder
of Public Opinion

Several requests have been received
at this office the past week asking
fer the continuance of the weekly
cartoons. The last cartoon which was
published, entitled the -Four Horse
men, caused widespread comment.
The cartoon, on the editorial page
or on the front page is not merely a
decoration. 1t is power and we are
glad to see that the public is ibeginn-
ing to recognize that power.
The cartoonist draws picture that
shoots an idea at you. 1t is an editor
ial that you get the meaning at a
single glance, without words.
The cartoons hurt the ''Four Horse
men, more than words. The words
ratified off their thick hides. The car
toons cut in.
"A lot of people can't read" one
writer states, "but anybody can UNI
derstand picture"
Cartoons inquire largely III poIlClcda
campaigns. Ridicule is more deadly
than abuse The pencil of a cartoon
list can be savage or funny, A pic
ture that makes pompous self
opiniomated candidate show up like
a iackass, does more to set him down
than pages of editorials.
A cartoonist gives form to ideas
that are floating shapeless in the
public consciousness. Beginning short
ly after the first of the year, the
Banner will add a we'll known car
toonist to its staff and will run car
toon weekly, of men and happenings
in and around our city.

Dear Folks:
Last Thursday evening I heard
the Women's Quartette rehearsing
for the "Home Talent Night perfor-

One of their numbers is "Marcheta,"
beautiful selection, and, believe me,
they sing it well.
Miss Gertrude Budd, whom many

or more solos on that occasion. l

more about Miss Budd's part in the
program because her talent is well
known, and / am sure that whatever
she sings you will enjoy.
The selections of the Women's
Quartette and Miss Budd's solos, to-
gether with Doctor Rodman's organ

CITY Fathers TO
ORGANIZE THURSDAY
Harmony Expected to Prevail. Big
Improvement Should Come to Beverly

On next Thursday evening, Com
mon Council will convene in the
City II il TO organige for the coming
year. A large attendance is expected
as it has been demonstrated during
the year closing. that our citizens as
whole have been taking more ac-
tive interest in City affairs. Beverly
is really showing signs of waking up
and with this comes the desire for a
capable and worth while administra-
ton of government affairs.
1t has become evident to many that
the progress of our town can be SER
iously hampered if Council should
fail to appreciate the real significan-
ce of their work just ahead of them.
Harmony is anticipated. Petty per-
sonal grievances should be frowned
upon and not be permitted to enter
into the deliberations of the body.
The public has confidence in Coun-
Gil which was shown during the past
year by re-electing those whose terms
were about to expire.
In spite of the Police muddle and
the sidewalk fiasco of some months
back, the public still seems to feel
that there are sufficient level heads
OF take advantage of the lesson learn
ed and to guide the "ship of state,
on an even course.
Under the glare of pitiless pub
licity the .blunders of trying to "hog-
tie" the City Engineer and of per-
uniting the police administration to
"run ragged, were realized and
steps taken to immediately check
them The sidewalk proposition was
dropped "cold' and am amazing trans
forma-io1 took place in police cir
Giles.
1t is umored that harmony ruled
the recent private "pow-wow" on
Coz acl in preparing the New Years
slate, 10 material changes are looked
for ia line up of council.
Allen, who received an
une ~ large vote at the re-
s9i Il. ~ probability

MAJ 81 ne Finance Committee.
Ar saccess has demonstrated
tha. eve ly old time resentment
of tie Il rgsicu of new Corners in
city afairs is passing. His marked
ability in financial manuevering has
won I'M tie title of one of Councils
'ibrainest" leaders.
With the cooperation of such ag-
gressive men as Donaldson, Lauinger,
Brown and others the making up of
an economical budget and the SOW
ing of sidewalk and numerous other
problems which will appear with
increasing number if the anticipated
growth of Beverly materializes;
should become an easy task compar-
ed with the activities of recent years
It has been the opinion of many
observing citizens that the old
order of politics in Beverly, with the
violent display of bitter personals
feelings, to the detriment of the
general welfare of the city, is chang
ing rapidly for one of peace and
progress. For the undeveloped fu-
ture of Beverly it is essential that
Councilmen should suhmerge any
personal desires or grudges ana
work without reserve for anything
which win be of benefit to our city
as a whole.
1t is expected that Council meetings
will be even better attended by the
Public the coming year than in the
past.
