Easter that was half Thanks
giving, Easter with the warmth of
spring sunshine and the tonic
snap of winds in which hints of
winter fingered, Easter that
brought new gowns and millinery
and the prismatic gayety of a
brave new spring, preened itself
like a young peacock on the
Boardwalk, Sunday.
1t was written by weather
prophets that skies would be over
cast. Never was there a greater
percentage of sheer sunlight dur
ing the walking hours Of the day
1t was limited that rain might man
fine feathers. No fieck of mist
was in the clear, cold air. Not i'll
decade has there been an Eas-

finest esplanade.
The famous corner of the Cafe
de la PaiX in Paris, where some
time or other every person OF
world prominence must pass, has
its Western counterpart in any
spot upon the Boardwalk.
Sundays parade was eloquent
of the internationalism that has
followed the World War. All dia-
lects and many tongues were i'll
the Babel coming from the Board
walk that quite OVERRIDE the
swish of the smiling green sea.
Color Scheme Subdued.
The general attitude of the PEG
pie as evidenced in their choice
of clothes was more conservative
than it has ever been. Hardly a
freak notion was seen. Neither
livestock nor eccentric dolls were
brought into the procession. Mel
Their coats, suits nor chapeauA
were of particularly individual MOI
outlandish choosing. The flora
display, while apparent, was. no
elaborate. Small punches of swee
peas and violets were seen OF
coat lapels, while huge waist cor
sages were in the minority.
This strain of conservatism wa;
striking in the fashion display o
the fairer sex Navy blue an6
gray ranked first in color popular
ity. So marked was the predomi
nance that the other suits seemed
nothing more than attractive col

THREE FAMILY PAX 7 les
IN TRIPLE WRECK
philadeIphians Narrowly Escape
Serious Injury

Three family parties escaped
fatal injury in a triple crash of
motors on the Harding Highway
a few miles north of here Sun
day evening. That none was
killed is regarded as remarkable
in view of the mass of wreck
age caused by the collision.
Abraham Finkelstein, of 401 N.
Redfield St, Philadelphia, was
driving a sedan after a visit to
Atlantic City. With him were
William Woodcross and his wife,
653S Woodland av., and their
three children. In some manner
not explained, his car shot across
the road in front of the car
driven by Joseph Price, of 2048
Ritenhouse ST., Philadelphia, who
was accompanied by Mrs. Price.
That drove the Price car into
the machine of J. S. Wyckoff, of
706 South Main street, this city.
who was coming home from
Philadelphia with his wife and
little girl, Elizabeth. Both these
cars were badly damaged, but
the occupants escaped serious
injuries.
The Finkelstein car dashed
ahead SCREAMING another machine
on it's way from the shore, and
overturned, burying the occu-
pants beneath it, Other motor
lists quickly went to the rescue,
dragging the six occupants from
the wreckage. All were severely
cut and bruised, but none seri-
ously. They were cared for by
a local musician

Lively Session OF
Linwood Council
Regular Session Held Last
Night in Borough
Hall.
Fraternity Tax Row

The Linwood Common Council
met in regular session Monday
evening with Councilmen Cum
ningham, Pennell, Wilson, and
Burroughs present, with Mayor
Brown presiding.
A number of bills were read
and referred to their various COM
mittees for approval. Chief among
these was bill for $1470 for
chemical pumper on fire truck,
from Hale Fire Engine Co. 1t
was moved by the various COM
mitties that the bills be paid.
A fire whistle is to be pur-
chased and placed on Bourough
Hall. This alarm will have a
radius of three and one-half
mics and will be controlled from
TWO points: Steuber's store and
the fire house.
A substitution for Rule 1 in re-
CARDS to changing the time for
council meetings was laid over
until the next meeting. The
transfer of two pieces of land by
tax sale of Dec. % was approved.
A mistake in tax bill made by
the inadvertant crossing of stubs,
was searched out and rectified.
Richard Price, of Absecon, pro-
posed that one of the local frat
entities be required to pay tax on
their land and hall. Under the
State laws, this fraternity is eX-
empt from taxation so long as it
derives no revenue from it's build
ing. Mr.. Prices action comes
from an alleged event or series Of
events taking place some time
ago. This action was laid over
until the next meeting or until
proper legal advice could be
obtained.
