State Public Record Director
Godfrey declares that the model
public record office of the State
is maintained at Mays Landing.
1t is under the direction OF County
Clerk William A. Blair and his
force of Sc women, and the clerk
and his staff are now installed In
the recently completed addition,
the capacity OF which is almost
double the former Office.
The public records of Atlantic
county are said TO be in exception

TEN installed by Blair since he
was elected clerk in November,
1924, has been adopted by the
State Comptroller's office as stan
dard. DR.. Godfrey has for some
time been recommending the in
stallation of some parts OF this
system in other public record ofh-
ces and is said to consider the
office as foremost in the State in
service and innovations.
The system installed by Mr..
Blair allows daily check on all
the business of the office. Books
are balanced daily and complete
transcript of every transaction Is
issued at the end of each month.
Before this system was created
the county auditor was forced to
spend several days per month in
checking accounts, but now 1t
takes him but Is minutes.
Although each instrument goes
through nearly a score OF opera
lions from the moment it is filed
with the county clerk until 1t IS
again returned to its owner, such
a close check is kept upon it that
any one of the more than 10000
records handled per month can be
produced at moments notice.

 The letter. pieced together by de- tectives, was produced at the coro- ner's inquest yesterday. District At forney Edwards, of Nassau county, declaring other circumstances con- rinced him the writer's affection was not reciprocated by Mrs. Brewster, said he believed her young husband, Sydney F. Brewster. had found the destroyed letter in wastebasket and, in the ensuing quarrel, shot his wife and himself at their home on Long Island Tuesday night
 The letter was found in Brew ster' S pocket after his death. It bore the signature Rad" or Rod" No fur ther clue 10 the identity of the au- thor had been found.

You dear stray girl, Tracy, whose name the wind sings through the trees and whose face fingers in the dusk of the tWi- light of these old hills"
 Alr. Brewster's mother and Mrs. Brewsters father both said they did not know the writer, and friends of the dead couple said he appears to Le unknown in local society. They believe Mrs. Brewster may have met Rad" on board ship in q recent voyage to Panama for her health. The dead mans mother said there never had been differences between the young people,

When 1 went to Ginger's store, to
secure a fountain pen, he said. bow
ing to the floor, THANK you, thank
you, come again. All, his smile was
wide and bright. showing all his
cleaning fangs. and his manner was
sight to allure the buying gangs.
And 1 thought, How good and wise
is this show of gratitude! He Is
charming, where some guys are
abrupt or curt or rude. There was
fervor in his tone when he bade me
come again, though l only blew a
bone for a tinhorn fountain pen. Fine
politeness. thus displayed, serves to
soothe the savage breast, and he'll
always have my trade, for his policy

accents were the saem as he formerly
employed; like a picture in a frame
was his smile, of feeling void. The
infection and the tone Of his words
had cultured ease; like a well oiled
gramophone he produced his little
wheeze. When I visited his store for
a halter for my hen, he said. bowling
to the floor, Thank you, thank you.
come again." And his artificial
smile flashed across his pallid face,
but 1t only served to rile all my pas
sions rude and base. Don't you ever
spring that gag" thundered I, when
1 come here: it is like a crimson rag
waved before a Texas steer. Better
slap me on the back, better hit me
with a cheese, than to lacerate and
rack all my nerves with that old
wheeZe. There is nothing in such
talk. nothing does 1t hint or mean, it
is like the brazen squawk from the
horn of a machine" And the little
smiling bore, piping like a cheerful
wren, muttered, bowling to the floor,
