To Abandon
Beauty Parade
Bradley Beach Decides That
Vacati0nist Seeks
Recreation.
Bathing Beauties Passe

Contending that the American
vacationist seeks rest and recrea-
ton, rather than entertainment
such as the display of pulchritude
by bathing girls, the Bradley
Beach board of commissioners
has abandoned permanently the
bathing beauty parade of the
summer season at Bradley Beach.
The announcement is made by
the board in a statement in which
1t was declared that such dis
plays have become passe. The
commission referred to the or
binary bathing beauty parade"
and it was explained that the
board was not seeking to cast
reflection on the Atlantic City
pageant.
In place of the parade of bath
ers, the commission will establish
a Mardi Gras as an annual fea-
ture. Since two years ago, when
a wrangle over the award of
prizes to several of the girls &C.
Cured, the commission has been
cool to the parade, and last year
Mayor Frank c. Borden, Jr., an
bounced that Bradley Beach
Beach would practice Coolidge
economy" for a year and then
decide whether to continue the
beauty display.
"The ordinary bathing beauty
parade has become passe," said
the announcement of the board
Of commissioners. NO longer
do such displays hold the atten-
ton of thousands and there has
arisen a serious doubt as to their
advisability. We believe that
summer visitors look to a resort
to provide recreation and rest,
rather than such displays. This
year the annual Mardi Gras will
be expanded to replace the aban-
doned beauty parade"

Kamr Bread Plant
in English Garden

At the time when Athelstan was on
the English throne a little shoot ap-
peared above the ground in a South
African forest Athelstan died and
was followed in turn by long line of
English kings, but the little South At
rican shoot persisted, growing in size
and strength until today, having been
transplanted from it's native soil, it
1ourishes in the Royal Botanic gar
dens, Regents park.
It is a specimen of the Kafir bread
plant, and gets it's name from the fact
that the pith of its young shoots con-
tains starch, which is eaten by the
natives in the form of bread or sago,
says the London Times.
The usual height Of such trees is
20 feet. This one, however, is only
10 feet and measures 15 inches round
its cylindrical trunk. Long leaves with
curling ends sprout from the top Of
the fairly smooth trunk.
Each year fresh fronds are pro-
duced, the old ones falling and leav-
ing scars. Thus, by noting the yearly
crop of leaves and counting the scars
on the trunks surface, the age of the
tree has been estimated at a thousand
years.

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR cold
that HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to seri-
Jus trouble. You can stop them now with
Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed crcosote that
is pleasant to take. Crcomulsion is new
medical discovery with two-fold action; it
soothes and heals the inAamcd membranes
and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rccog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for persis-
tent coughs and colds and other forms OF
throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the injected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the. creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the'blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth Of the germs.
Crcomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment Of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms Of rcspira-
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after c1Ids or Au.
Money refunded if any cough or cold is
not relieved after taking according TO-

PHANTOM OF THE
OPERA IS A FINE
MOVING PICTURE

For realistic wierdness and mys-
terry, "The Phantom of the Opera"
with Lon CLANCY, which showed at
the Grand theater Wednesday and
continues here Thursday and Fri
day, has won niche for itself in
the motion picture hall of fame
So different and so stirring is the
picture in it's own, peculiar way,
that one finds it difficult to ac-
curately evaulate it in words. 1t
can be candfdly sac however that
in it's casting and photographing
it is just abous perfect with sew
eral scenes that are done in color,
greatly adding to its appeal and
beauty. In it's spectacular scenes per-
haps it does not impress one quite
as much as some of the other great
feature films but the opera settings
are so gorgeously done that one
wishes he might view them more
in detail and over a. longer stretch
of time.
The story in itself with it's his
toric settings and It's fantastic and
often terrifying incidents, lends it,
self wonderfully to the peculiar
and exceptional talent of Lon CLANCY
who takes the leading role with
gripping effect. Few stars would
attempt the parts which CLANCY in
terprets and probably few could offer
them with the same vividness and
hideousness which he is able to do.
He is master of that particular field
Of motion picture art hwhich calls
for the blood-curdling and he offers
it with heart beating effect. Nor
man Kerry plays the part of the
handsome hero with restraint and
attractiveness while Mary Philbin is
most successful in her interpreta-
tion of one of the most trying of
women's roles ever given a motion
picture star. In fact, the entire cast
is far above the average which
is more than can be said for even
some Of the greatest feature films
''The Phantom of the Opera" is a
spectacle, but vastly more than just
that. 1t offers something SO strange
ly unusually and daring, and so in
tense in its very theme, that anyone
who is not moved deeply lacks
emotion and imagination. To tell
anything of the plot would be to
spun IL AOA lllCoS DOuS
lasites who have not yet seen it.
Suffice to say that it is all that
one imagines to be and then some
And most of all, it is well worth

ture which is offered in this city

the resolution exceeded by seven, a
two thirds majority which must be
mustered to put through the mea-

An invitation has been received at

A number of problems confronting
the state relating to. good roads will
be discussed at the meeting. Includ>
Of no
thousands of foreign motor cars
crossing the state each year on their
way to and from the Pacific coast
and their effect on the roads of the
state. 1t is pointed out that this is
not only a state problem but is one
of national Importance and should
be considered nationally.
The question of federal aid ana
the possibility that the present con-
gress will not continue it, also will
be discussed and plans laid by the
association to oppose any attempt to
repeal federal aid road legislation by
the national congress. 1t is pointed
out by the officials of the assocla.
tion that federal aid in the past 10
years has done much to help the
state in building and maintaining its
present system of good roads In
that connection it also is pointed out
that problem for the association to
solve will be the failure of the last
state Legislature to make an appli.
cation for road work in Arizona.
The delegates from the northern
