A long time ago a maiden in
hoop skirts crossed the ocean all
by herself, and tongues wagged
about the recklessness of the
young.
A little bit later another young
lady duplicated her feat, and there
was less talk, and when the third
came across nobody said anything.
Since then the stage coach has
given way to the steam railway,
and the sail ship, used by our
young lady friend, has gone into
history for the mighty liner that
rips through the waters Of the
seven seas with safety and ease.
All of which is one OF the rea-
sons why Mrs. John Hoyt, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs John G, Thorn
as, of IS w. Verona avenue, is
leaving, with friend, Thursday.
Mrs. Hoyt, with Miss Eleanor
II. Brown, OF Rochester, n. v,
will board the S S. President
Monroe that morning for the first
leg of trip which will take them
in "a circle of the globe, and will
consume two years of time. They
will leave New York for Havana,
pass through the Panama canal.
stopping at Christobal and Balboa,
and then go on to Los Angeles,
Calf, where they will complete
the first jump, visiting with Miss
Peggy Neel. formerly of Atlantic
City, for a few days.
They will then go to San Fran
cisco, starting from there on the
second leg of their journey, which
will take them to Honolulu. From
there they will go to Japan, where
they will make their first long
stop, with an uncle and aunt of
Mrs. Hoyt, Mr. and Mrs. John Par
ish.

Alone
Will Not Win
Physical Proportions Alone
Will Not Score in the
Main at Pageant
Character Personality
Inter-City Beauties Will Be
Observed by Judges at
Parades, Parties and 9th
Ell Places.

Beauty alone will not count
heavily in the election of Miss
America at the Atlantic City Pa
seant Of Sept. to II, inclusive.
Physical proportions alone will
not score in the main. Character,
poise, ersonality-these and ma
ny other traits must be combined
with those of physical proper
lions, facial beauty and general
manner. AT parades, dinners,
dances, theatre parties, hotel lob
bies, anywhere and everywhere,
the inter-city beauties will be I'M
der the observance of the judges.
AS they come before the Beauty
Jury, Louis st. John, director of
Judges, will issue the admonition
he gave last year:
Don't try TO TOOL the judges
with rouge and makeup. Be Jour
natural, charming selves, because
these Judges are experienced men
having picked hundreds OF models
for their paintings Remember
that beauty is more than skin
deep and beauty of face and figure
must be accompanied by charm
ing personality and smile Also,
remember that while there are
ia, he, l,
Revue and the Rolling Chair Pa
Tade that the inter-city beauties

sports and show that you are
true American thoroughbreds and
can smile if you don't win. Re-
member you represent your city
Seventy beauties will partici-
pate in the Pageant, the largest
number ever competing.
Robert Aitken, internationally
famous sculptor, one of the judg-
eS, will create bronze statue of
the winner, the statue to be plac
ed at the American Permanent
international Exposition as typi-
fication of the beauty of the day.
A miniature will be given the
girl. who also will receive from
the Pageant Committee a & 300
Golden Mermaid
Five thousand crack bandsmen
With any number of novelty mu-
steal organizations assigned to
the several selections and floats
will furnish the music for the big
Boardwalk parade spectacles.
There will be enough bands to
furnish continuous music through
out the line of parade of the Baby
and Juvenile Review with over
200 entries on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 8, the Bathers' Revue on
Thursday, and the Rolling Chair
Parade on Friday. Two bands
will lead each parade and bands
assigned to sections of the three

end to end of the Boardwalk on
each day.

ESPIONAGE ON ANGLERS
STiRS VIGOROUS PROTEST
Dry Navy Fleet Subjects Boats to
Close Scrutiny.

A big howl went up from the
owners of pleasure boats in At
lantic City Sunday over the UNI
usual scrutiny given their vessels
during fishing trips up the bay.
The owners protested at the Dry
Navy Base that patrol boats of
the coast guard compelled them
to stop at all hours of the night
while going to or returning from
fishing grounds, and when they
misunderstood signals or search
lights, to drive miles out of their
way to see the base commander.
According to the guards, they
are under orders to check up ev-
cry boat that leaves or comes in
to the island as possible rum-run-
ming suspects, and they are
"bawled out" unless they do so
when they return to headquarters.
Some of the sportsmen complain
that they are even annoyed while
at anchor and fishing.

Petition for New
Road to Brigantine
Galloway Township Resi-
dents Ask FreehOlders
for New Highway.
Would Develope New Area

Asking for the construction of
about four miles of roadway from
Oceanville to Brigantine Beach,
two petitions signed by $50 resi-
dents of Galloway township are
being considered by the Board of
F'reeholders.
Proponents of the road declare
that il will shorten the highway
distance from New York to At
lantic City by five miles, and will
relieve congestion on the Absecon
and Pleasantville bouleyards.
1t will provide easy access to
the shore for farm products from
the mainland, and give strong
impetus 10 development of that
section of the county.
They also say that Galloway
Township and the territory sur
rounding will be opened up par
ticularly by such a road for sum-
mer residential development. A
mile and half of the road has
already been built out from
Oceanville. and the golf links de-
valopment of Brigantine Beach,
extending out toward this leaves
only about three and one-hali
miles TO construct over right
of way which could be acquired
by the county without cost.
Citizens of Galloway township
are said to be urgently pressing
the proposal to build the road
from Oceanville. They include
Fred Somers, former member
of the Atlantic County Tax Board !;
Arthur S. Bowen, postmaster~-S.
/ Oceanville. and c. b. Somers, OF

Yeggs Fail in
Attempted Break
Smash Combination on Safe
at Abb0tt's Dairy, Frigh-
tened Away.
Parked Car Reported
Police Notified, and Investi-
gate, to Find Machine has
Escaped-EE,er by Way
of Garage.

An attempt to force the safe at
Abbott's Alderney Diaries on the
New road near the electric rail
road at II o'clock last nigalt, fail
ed when four men wer3 fright
ened away after breaking the
combination.
Because of the broken combi-
nation, the safe could not be OPP
ened this morning, and Manager
Harry Warren, of the local branch
of the dairy could not tell wheth-
er the attempt to open It had
been successful He believes it
was unsuccessful, however.
Four men in a machine were
observed parked in front of the
dairy at the time of the attempt
ed robbery. Another man pass
ing saw the car, and reported the
incident to the police.
They investigated, but the men
had made good their escape. The
get away leads police to believe
that a careful watch had been
kept by two of the men while the
other two had entered the diaries.
Entrance was made through a
jimmied window in the garage.
From there they made their way
to the office where they started
to work on the safe.
They had apparently just
broken the combination police be-
lieve, when they were alarmed,
and they made a hurried exit and
got away in the machine.
1t is believed the men who at
tempted the break are not the
same who have been making a
number of house entries in this
section recently
Manager Warren was notified
of the attempt when he arrived
home at one o'clock this morning.
He at once went to the diaries,
where he made an investigation,
and reported that the attempt to
open the door had apparently
been unsuccessful He thought it
.s,arely likely that the yeggs would
Ahion' e door and close it again.
Meanwhile police are searching
for the four men in the machine
that was parked in front of the
dairy.

Consider Ashton
Demand High
His Estimate of Damage i'm
Walnut Street Improve
ment Over $4,000.
Confirm $1,000 Award
Councilmen Override Objec-
tiOnS of Frank r. Ashton
and Judge Cole and Sus-
tain Commissioners.

The award of $1,000 made by
the Board of Assessments and
Benefits for the property of Frank
r. Ashton and Elizabeth NJ. Ash
ton, taken in the improvement of
Walnut street, was confirmed by
the Pleasantville Common Coun-
Gil last evening, with the other
portions of the report.
The amount of award was con-
firmed over the objection of Mr..
Ashton and his attorney, Judge
Cole. Judge Cole objected to the
proceedings as being irregular
and to the award as being too
low. Mr. Ashton claims that he
has an offer of S110 per front
foot for the property, provided
the trees remain, or 500 per
front foot if the trees are remov-
ed. Mr. Ashton says the improve
ment would take over IA feet of
his property On the other hand,
it is claimed that seven feet are
already part of the thorough
fare.
Mr.. Ashton says he has an es-
innate that the cost of moving
his house from the lot to another
location will be $1469.84. He es-
Inmates the shade trees at value
of $500 or more.
The commissioner had no off
ficulty in making awards accept
able to others affected by the
improvement.
After hearing what Judge Cole
and Mr. Ashton had to say, the
members of Council expressed
opinions that the only procedure
was to confirm the award
