Music Professor Predicts Easy
Time for Man in so Years.

LONDON. September 8 R.-In
half century or so hardly any one
will have any work to do. says DR..
Percy Buck, professor of music in the
University of London.
"In so years from now every human
being will have a vast amount of
leisure on his hands," explained DR..
Buck. to the university teachers at
tending the Summer vacation lecture
course.
eff once the atom is split-and that
is bound to happen in a certain num-
ber of years-there will be no need
for COAL gas, electric light, steam or
anything else like that. Think of It.!
We will be able to run a train from
London to Edinburgh for half a
penny. and to light the whole of Lon

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. September
3.-Veteran sourdoughs who used to
pay $3.50 for a plate of pork and
beans without a murmur. take great
comfort in the buffet cars on the Gov
ernment railroad between here and
Fairbanks. Men from. mines and
woods, taking their wealth of gold
and furs to the coast, talk about the
menu on the rolling Kitchens for
long time. Fresh fish, game and
storage meat, vegetables and fruits
are served in meals of large portions
on the dining cars at reasonable
prices. Special orders of various
dishes come higher and a charge is
made for all hot and iced drinks.
But to the folks of interior Alaska

Old Faithful Geyser does not erupt

Most of the letters that come to
this column are from boys or girls
or men or women who are lonely
or worried because of love affairs.
Friends of our own sex are often
most satisfactory contacts, howev-
er, and disagreements with them
may cause us as poignant grief as
those between husbands and wives
or sweethearts.
Following is a letter from a girl
who mourns her inability to get
along amicably with girl friend.
Dear Mrs. Lee: | am girl
of II and go with girl friend.
l went with her for five years
and we always had quarrels, but
got right over them. One day
we had a quarrel and got mad.
A new family moved across the
street and one of the girls was
my age, so l got acquainted with
her. One night we were going
to the show and who happened
to come along but the girl friend
| was mad at. AS we came near
er she stopped and said to me,
Would you care if | walked over
m oh frritb L co RI
no, because | always liked her.
So we went to the show, and af
ter that the three of us went to-
gether. We were always quar-
reling and | knew three could
never get along, so | knew that
one of us would have to break
off, and that meant me. / haven't
been going with anyone. have
tried in many ways to get in

first, but it seems impossible. /

ago and she told me she didn't

and prayed for a friend.

much ado about nothing" /
should say, Friendless. What do
you quarrel about and why? She's
evidently waiting for you to make
the first move and you're waiting
for her. Go to see her, call her up
or write her letter. Say that you
miss her and want to be friends
and are not going to get mad at her
again. Then invite her to so to the
show with you. l don't see why the
three of you couldn't have a good
time together. A whole bunch" of
girls can have a jolly time.

during the many months of his serious illness.
Walter Whitman died in Monrovia CAL, where he was
receiving hospital treatment He bade farewell to his
Peasantve friends in June and started seeking
strength and health Since he away his friends have
held him much in their thoughts. He had many friends
that he hour by hour and day by day in the streets
in the course of business but we doubt if he fully
conscious Of the nnuerable friends who in the back
ground and whom he did not see, who did him

From time to time we have had suggestion of the
number of these unknown friends The Pleasantve Press
has received telephone calls from them, asking for nfor

POSTPONE BOARDING

UP WINDOWS
A movement is on foot in Ocean
City to have shopkkeepers along the
Boardwalk desist in the old practice
of early boarding up doors. The ac
cusation has been made against
them that their attitude seems to
be one of welcome in the spring and
summer, and anxiety to get rid of
visitors in the fall.
Accordingly, the Chamber OF
Commerce is heading plan to have
individual store proprietors interest
national advertisers in arranging
window displays that will keep the
walk well lit up throughout the
autumn. The lighting would cost
but little, and would be paid for by
the advertisers, and the only other
expense would be for a private.
Waterman, which cost might be
shared by several proprietors.

OCEAN COUNTY
HIGHWAY SITUATION


HIGHWAY SITUATION
Exhaustion OF the road repair
funds has brought the upkeep OF
the Ocean County highways to a
standstill. The County Treasurer,
Theodore B. Cranmer, has notified
the Board of Freeholders that but
$500 remains for the work, and
this will be used to pay present
bills.
This means there will be no mon.
ey for the maintenance of the coun-
ty roads from now until the 1928
budget is adopted in the middle or
last of January. To incur debts
for roads with the money exhausted
would make the Freeholders liable
to indictment for exceeding appro-
priations.
Apparently, even the road fore
men must be laid off until Feb
ruary. This. it is agreed, would
result in a serious condition, as
the gravel roads need shaping up
for winter. 1t also means that if
there is a heavy snowstorm before
the next budget is adopted there
will be no means of removing snow
from the roads.
