Liabilities were listed in the
petition in bankruptcy filed by
creditors at $4,250,000, and assets
at 100000. ]. Wesley Gold

named receiver.
Tucker, who seven years ago
came to Camden from New YORK,
after pawning his watch to get

statement that although he him.

would be paid in full If the re-
ceiver was allowed to dispose OF
the company's holdings in a nor

holdings were Conservatory
valued at $7,0OO,000 and that OF
the s4,25O,0O0 liabilities. all but
$4,000 was secured by mortgages.
Tucker came to Camden short
" after his graduation from Dart
mouth College. He arrived with
only IS cents in his pocket, and
after working as a riveter IN n
Camden shipyards, acquired the

real estate business was launched
as the result of conversations be-
tween purchasers of newspapers
whom he heard predicting great
advances in Camden real estate
with the opening of the new Del
aware River bridge.
Disposing of the news stand,
he obtained employment in a rea,
estate office and soon became the
star salesman. Shortly after

Last October he insured hi
life for $1,000, 900, making his
company the beneficiary of the
policy, which was underwritten
by five insurance companies.
AS an advertising stunt" he
engaged a special train several
months ago and took 1000 citi-
zens of Camden to New York
where they were entertained with
a sumptuOus banquet.

That's a simple and easy practice.
Just blow up your foot ball and start
passing 1t around to get the feel
of It.
Four or Ave boys should form
circle and pass the ball first from
right to left and then from left to
right.
First stand close together with ell.
bows touching and then gradually
widen the circle until you are or 5
feet from each other.
From a stationary position change
70 a trotting pace. running in circles,
and criss-crossing. too.
Try that for Is minutes each day,
and by the time your team has taken
UP serious practice for the season
you'll be able to handle the ball with
minimum amount of fumbling.
What's worse than a tumble?
Ten miles a week for So weeks a
year-taking out two for vacations
or sickness-makes 500 miles year.
