 Overjoyed by the chance of going on the stage. it appeared the pro- spective dancing girls overlooked clauses in their contracts which called for short locks.

Eagle Feminine Strength

Berlin, OP,-When men placed the eagle on the national coat Of arms as an emblem Of manly strength says Dr. Helen Schulte-Vaerting, women's right advocate, they paid the greatest possible compliment to womankind. among the eagles 1t is the female which represents strength. she claims.
 Frau Schulte-Vaerting' suspects that men had one put over on them by the women of ancient Egypt. Quite likely it was the women of Egypt during the period of petit coat government there" she as serts, who claimed the eagle as national emblem, because the state Illness and strength of the female eagle, far surpasses that of the male, exactly suited their fancy"

Conditions were noted where im- provement may be made, and this applies particularly to the small stoves in the rural schools, Every school in the city responded to these arrangements except the St. Ann's school which was not ready for a fire drill The following table repre- sents the figures as made in all other schools of the city:

The difference in ease of con

Is very marked. In the case Of the

Though the great mass of the

methods of firing, there are, as a
matter of fact, standard methods
for handling soft coal which will
make il Opssible TO reduce visible
smoke 10 per cent without alter
ations of furnace or change of fuel
other than burning small sizes.
In small residential areas
where intensive educational effort
has been made smoke densities
have been readily reduced 80 to
60 per cent.
The field for educational work
and policing of districts is vast
and offers the only immediate re-
lief. The situation justifies the
conclusion that in cities where
raw bituminous coal must be the
basis of fuel supply, smoke abate-
ment is achieved only by the clos
est supervision of equipment,
educational efforts and the most
unremitting yiligence in following
up operation.
This in effect imposes a tax on
communities based on geographic
cal location, which tax very few
of them have ceen fit to pay Thus
progress has been slow and as
long as the necessity of using raw
fuel exists it Will remain so.

THE COUNTY'S HUB.

Pleasantville, in truth has de-
veloped into the hub of Allan
tic county, particularly Of the
southern part of it Especially
so is this when one thinks of
the Shore road section, which
should have some interlocking
representation.
More and more every day is
this being realized. The city is
being utilized for shopping, for
meetings, for church gather
ings. Stores are being construct
ed, houses are going up, and
daily the population. some of it
driven by high prices in the
resort to the off shore section,
is increasing.
So, every day in every way,
we are becoming bigger and
bigger, better and better.

EARLY SETTLERS

Great interest has been
aroused by the Rev. DR.. Howe,
rector of the Cape May Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, in the
data he has unearthed proving
that a number of the early set
tiers of Cape May county were
Plymouth Pilgrims or their
children.
Whaling along the New Jer-
sev coast attracted many OF
these. and DR.. Howe says at
least a dozen of those who came
to this country on the May
flower immigrated to cape
May county, bringing their
families.
The first village was called
Town Bank. and was on the
shore of the Delaware Bay sew
eral miles to the north OF what
is now Cape May City. In 1917
Joseph Whilldin and his wife
Hannah came from the land OF

THAT NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Trenton school authorities
have raised the tuition charged
students from out OF the city
who attend their institutions,
and Atlantic City, facing the
cost of additional public school
facilities, may take the same
action.
This would work another
burden on the Shore road num-
cipalities and those communi-
ties on Absecon Island, which
are forced to send their high
school students to the resort
for education.
Trenton has increased the
senior high school rates from
$50 to SIS per pupil. Non
resident pupils in the junior
high school will pay S l35. in
stead of $l20; and in the
grammer schools they will pay
sos. instead Of 5 100.
More and more the need OF
large high school on the Main
land, which would accommodate
students from the entire Shore
road section, is becoming real
lied. Atlantic Citys new high
school is overcrowded--the re-
sort would be delighted to shit
the burden. This city, upon the
erection of a new high school,
would be in a wonderful posi-
ton to take care OF such
students.
Perhaps after the first OF the
wear school officials here will

about a new high school.

The many thriving cities and

1t is stated that the building

months total SIS, 524,85 |.
Take away from the grand total
those sums belonging to the IN
dividual cities and boroughs
and we have an analysis which
is to the very great credit to the
smaller cities.
The Cities of the Mainland,
Absecon, Pleasantville, North

Borough of Linwood and West
Atlantic City had a total in
building operations of over
100000, while the total for
the City of Atlantic City up to
December, was SO, 500, 100.
Ventnor, Margate and Brigan-
tine did just as well proportion
ately.
The cities of the Mainland
have only just began to get
their normal stride and the
building permits of the year and
the buildings completed are all
in connection with home de
velopment-homes, churches,
schools, factories and stores.
There has been no notable
theatre, no lofty hotel, no grand
municipal or government build
ing, (although Pleasantville
did complete a post office no
no great club house or home
for lodge members. Nor has the
Mainland taken up the great
idea of duplex or multiple
apartment houses.
All of these are to the credit
of the Mainland's building
activities. They are on the solid
foundation, constructed by
home loving hands.
The next year will witness
many more building opera
tons. These will include for the
Mainland one or two more
large schools. Pleasantville will
likely begin the construction of
high school, 1t is expected
there will be a great church
built on the Mainland and the
increasing lumber Of people
will bring a hotel, apartment
houses, and all the structures
which fill the needs of business
recreation.
Steadily the individuality Of
the Mainland develops and its
independence increases as the
