A DIRIGlBLE LINE
Talk That it Will Be Opened Is
Caused by Capt. Heinen's

Capt. Anton Heinen, interna-
tional dirigible expert, who has
been at work on the highway
surveys near Toms River, seems
about to get some employment
nearer his specially.
A talk of a gigantic aircraft
corporation being formed in New
Jersey was renewed following a
visit of Captain Heinen to Tren-
ton. Captain Heinen went to the
State House for copy of the cor
poration laws and filing blanks
from the Secretary of State.
Except in general terms he de-
clined to divulge information as
to plans for the enterprise. Dis
cussion at this time, he said,
would be premature. 1t was
CLEANED, however, that the plans
contemplated call for the organ
ization of a $5,000,000 corpora
ton with principal offices in
Newark.
Testifying before the Bright in
vestigating committee last sum-
mer as to the feasibility of de-
veloping New Jersey as COM
mercial aircraft center, Captain
Heinen intimated that he was in
terested in promoting a dirigible
line between New York and
Florida.

WRECK CAST AT FOOT
OF BARNEGAT LIGHT
No. q Noted for Most Heroic
Of Ca RasHuac

No. 81 Noted for Most Heroic
of Sea Rescues
AS if in derision of the puny
efforts of man, the sea has cast up
at the very foot of famous old
Barnegat lighthouse, the cabin of
the Boston barge mo. q" wreck
ed during the February storms
on Barnegat shoals.
With nine miles of adjacent
beach and gray shores on which
it could have been cast, some
mystery of currents carried the
wreckage into the narrow opening
between jetties built in the hope
of saving the lighthouse, and left
il amid the crumbling ruins of the
keepers house, that years ago fell
before the encroachment of the
waves.
The main section of the barge
Aoated beyond the jetties and was
beached in such a position that it
threatens to divert new currents
in the next big storm nearer the
base of the doomed lighthouse,
unless efforts to dislodge the
wreck by dynamite are success
full.
The wreck of No. q" was fol-
lowed by one of the most heroic
rescues in the history of life-sav-
ing on the Jersey coast and
crews that participated have been
memoralized by the Legislature.
Three survivors were taken from
the barge, but one of them, Cap
tain Thomas Langford, died from
exposure.

Again the world shrinks. with
the outworking of plan in which
Cen FMS and Russians have CO.
operated, for an air line between
Berlin and Nladivostok. The dis
lance. 5000 miles, is to be covered
in fifty hours of day-and- might air
plane travel. That is a large re-
duction from the thirteen days OF
crowded discomfort now required
for passage via the Trans iberi-
an Railway. A significant aspect
of the new installation is the
partnership of the Germans and
the Russians. which is extending
to various fields of commerce and
modes of transportation Since an
offshoot of this air route will eX-
tend from Nladivostok to Toxic,
the Germans will find themselves
sitting comfortably in the Ori-

REVELS MARKED
EARLY CASTERS
Relaxation Allowed After Rigors
of Long Lent.

Many of the early customs oil
Easter time were of pre- Christian
origin. but were in some way sym
bolic Of joy, and, therefore were
kept up as late as the Seventeenth
century.
In France and Germany hand
ball was one of the Easter amuse
ments. The ball was supposed to
represent the sun, which was be
lieved to take three leaps in rising
on Easter morning. Bishops,
priests and monks, after the strict
discipline of Lent, used to play
ball during Easter week. The
ball game was also connected
with a dance and was performed
in the church to the strains of the
"Victimae Paschali." England al
so observed Easter with the game
of ball, and there the municipal
corporation engaged with due pa
rade and dignity. We are told
that at Bury st. Edmonds, in re-
cent years, this Easter sport was
kept up by twelve old women.
After the game a banquet was
held aud a homily on the feast
was read.
Odd Customs.
A peculiar custom was observed
on Easter Monday when the wo-
men had right to strike their
husbands, and on Tuesday the
men were allowed to return the
compliment We read of another
peculiar custom in northern Eng
land. On Easter Sunday the men
paraded the streets and claimed
The privilege of lifting each wo-
man three times from the ground,
receiving in payment a kiss or
siXpence. The next day the Wo-
men were allowed the same prlv1-
lege. In Germany the men were
not so gentle, for it was the Gus
tom of the men servants to whip
the maid servants with switches
on Easter, and on Monday the
maids were allowed to whip the
men. They could, however. Sc
cure their release with Easter
eggs.
Easter Fire.
The Easter fire is perhaps more
familiar to us because the Catho-
lie church has adopted the observ-
ance into it's Easter ceremonies.
The Easter fire, in the earlier
times. was lit on the top of noun
aims and was kindled from a new
fire drawn from wood by friction.
This custom was of pagan origin,
signifying the victory of spring
over winter, for in some places a
figure was thrown into the fire
symbolizing winter, but to the
Christians on the Rhine. in Tyrol
and Bohemia, ii signified Judas
the traitor.

if I had to depend on that little old
fifteen, how could I buy pork chops

Then the car stopped and every
body scrimmaged aboard except one
woman who had to wait for the next.
And when she got to her apartment
and had turned on the lights in her
three rooms, and put fresh flowers at
her shrine. and got into kimono and
blue slippers, and told the dear lonely
place how she loved every inch Of 1t.
she got out a pad and pencil and
