Alma Gluck, a week or two
ago, sold her property at 1O1
East Seventy-Second street, New
York, at a profit of 100 per cent,
having purchased it in 1919 for
S127, 900 which she had accumu-
lated from royalties received
from more than 100000 repro
ductiOns of a single phonograyh
record, Garry Me Back to Ole
Virginny." 1t appears that Ma
dame Gluck overcome the obpec-
tions of her husband, Efrem
Zimbalist, the violinist, who de-
clared at the time, "we have no
earthly need of 21-room house
on Park avenue" All of which
shows that the Madame has a
good business head as we'll as
a good singing throat.
But the most interesting thing
about the manner in which Ma
dame Gluck acquired her for
tune of S127, 900 is the fact that
she rarely has been in Virginia,
the soil about which she sang so
fervently. She was a native of
Bucharest, Rumania, and came
to this country when she was
six years of age. Her maiden
name was Reba FiersOhn; and
she studied music under an Ital-
ian teacher, one Signor BuZzi-
Peccia, of New York, who prob
ably knew as much about the
Old Dominion as Marco Polk
knew about the Florida real es
tate boom.
Garry Me Back To Ole Vir
ginny' was supposed to be tn
lament of an old Virginia negr
who had been taken away fror
his homeland and was yearnin
to return. Even so, Madam
Gluck might have felt not oU
of place when she voiced tn
emotion that all wanderers frol
the homeland have, remembe
ing, as she might have done, tt
moonlight of childhood as
shone on the quiet waters of Il
Dimbovitsa. Or, who know
maybe a real home was never
her thoughts, as was the case
John Howard Payne, the auth
of "Home Sweet Home" W
had no home of his own and di
in faraway Africa. 1t is no
worthy, in recalling Payne, tt
he and Madame Gluck both
tended Union College, Schen

The report of Chief Engineer
G. Douglass Buck to the State
Highway Commission shows the
progress during the year and
outlines a new program that has
in mind better service and con-
tinuous improvement. AS the
Morning News truly nays: 'The
people should be thankful for it.
The old haphazard and expen-

given way to a modern, intelli
gent and economical system

REGULARS Tie For First
Place in New League
Win Two Games From Egg HarbOr Over the Weekend,
While Mllvile and Hammonton, League
Leaders, Lose

Two wins over the Egg Harbor
nine, one of them coming after
tie which lasted until the four
teenth inning, placed Pleasant
vile in tie with Millville and
Jeffries for first place in the South
Jersey League over the weekend.
The local club won its game here
Saturday from Egg Harbor, when
Ray Steineder pitched it to victo.
ry, 7-2, and captured the fuss at
Egg Harbor, when Wilson worked
squeeze play with the bases
loaded, which sent "Ty" Helfrich
across the plate with the winning
tally, score 6-5.
Both Millville and Hammonton,
which teams had won their games
last week, went down to defeat
either Saturday or Sunday. jeff
ries beat Hammonton, Saturday,
and the Peaches again lost to
Winslow, Sunday. Millville also
went down before the oncoming
Jeffs in the Sunday game.
Ray Steineder, former property
of the Phillies and the Pirates,
pitched real ball to win his game
Saturday, although his teammates
drove in plenty of runs, and back
ed him up in such a manner that
the game seemed easy. He al
lowed Egg Harbor two hits, the
Wine City team scoring two runs,
one in the second and the last in
the third.
Helfrich, with three hits, and
Kisby and Wilson with two, help
ed nick Sciore for the II safeties
gained by the home nine.
Marshall Payne pitched for
Pleasantville Sunday, turning in
his second straight win. 1t was
stiff game all the way through.
Pleasantville scored the first run
in the third, while the Harborites
came back with two runs to lead
the home talent. Another run
was scored by the visiting club in
the sixth, while Egg Harbor kept
it's lead by scoring one more run
the same inning. In the eighth
the Pleasantville club scored three
rms. and seemed sure of the
game. Egg Harbor tied the score
when it sent over two runs. The
tie was only broken in the four
teenth inning, when Helfrich came
across with the tieing run.

Fairness to All.


That the campaign will be above
suspicion as to fairness goes with
out saying, but in order doubly
to insure fairness, an Advisory
Board composed of prominent cit
izens will be appointed. This
Board will make the awards and
act in an advisory capacity, If
any question of moment arises.
The campaign will also be
brought to close in sealed bal

No one, not even the campaign
manager, can possibly know the
final voting strength of any can
didate. This absolutely pre-
cludes any possibility of unfair

We guarantee that this sales
