Some of the best basket ball
teams in the country come from the
y. NJ. &. a. and most of the coaches
of Y. NJ. G. a. teams employ the
short passing game.
The short pass in basket ball
makes team work The long pass
breaks il up. And team work spells
victory in the great court game.
The short pass Well say goes 8
feet. There is not much room there
for interception. Perhaps one oppo-
nent has chance to intercept the
pass in that space on the floor.
But suppose the pass travelled
three times as far--a long pass.
Several opponents might be able TO
get into that section of the floor
in time to intercept the throw.
The long pass must be thrown with
much force, of course. 1t is there

ATLANTIC CITY TRANSFORMED
Old Saloon Sites Now Occupied by
Legitimate Business Houses; w.
c. T. U. Gives Interesting Facts

The Atlantic County, N. J., w. c. T. u.
has given the public some interesting
facts concerning the transformation that
has taken place in Atlantic City in dis
tricts where saloons once hourished, since
prohibition became operative.
In the year 1916 there were PA sa-
looms in Atlantic City. They were scat
tered in all parts of the city, including the
beach front. from Texas avenue to the
Inlet. A detailed list of former saloons
operating on the various avenues is given,
designating the business now conducted
in these old saloon properties. The list
shows that saloons have been transformed
into real estate offices, auto supply stores,
grocery stores, one school, gents fur
nishing stores, banks, department. stores,
restaurants, candy stores, jewelry stores,
shoe stores, railway station, freight of
fee, Buick auto agency, meat markets, etc.
The report concludes.
Many of these buildings when they
ran as saloons were old and diapi-
dated A large majority have disap-
peared and new large buildings have
taken their places. Values have many
times doubled themselves since sa-
loon days, those at $500 or $500 per
front foot now worth $4,000 a front
foot. Boardwalk properties have in
creased at a greater rate than Atlantic
Avenue properties. Also all properties
in the entire island have increased in
value There haap o,,Jc 81
homes built and many large hotels
and apartments since the war.
The legalized red light district has
absolutely disappeared. While there
are some saloons in the back part of
town and probably some gambling,
the condition everywhere is much bet
ter than ever before.

RESPECTS OUR LAW
Famous Scotch Distiller Abstains While
in u. S. out of Respect for Our Law

In striking contrast to some other titled
Britishers who have recently visited the
United States, who openly boosted of the
many cocktails they drank in prohibition
United States, Lord Forteviot of Dupplin
Castle, Pertshire, Scotland, as John Al
exander Dewar, chairman of the board of
directors of John Dewar and Sons, whis-
ky disti1ers, in an interview with the Chi
cago Tribune, declared that out of respect
for the Eighteenth Amendment he had
drunk no liquors in this country and
would drink none as long as he remained
here.
Lord Forteviot merits the commenda-
ton of all good citizens for the respect
he is showing the laws of the country
whose guest he is. Though a distiller he
puts to shame some distinguished citi-
zens of our own country who make pre-
tense of being superior to mere distillers.
incidentally Lord Forteviot made state
ment which it would be we'll for Our up
per-crust bootleg patrons to heed. He
said There is very little Scotch, in spite
of what your informants may allege, now

In Memoriam.

In loving memory of our dear daughter,
Erma Deloise Turner. who departed this
life years ago. May 20. 1928.
Just ray of sunshine loaned to us for
while,
All too soon she vanished with her golden
smile,
As the srnbeams gsten in the dewy morn.
Filling earth with gladness. so did she our
home.
Long before the nOontide a cloud spread
DER the sky,
And blotted out our sunshine and hid her
from our. eyes,
We know she still is shining. although we
cannot see,
May peace and gladness be with her
through all eternity.
We take this little lamb with us.
And hold her to our heart.
Protection she shall find in us
And be forever blessed.
By her loving father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey R. Turner.

White ElephaHt Cotuing With The
Circus.
Sacred Animal Making Only American
Tour With Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Shows.

Hailed as the greatest feature of all
time," Pawah, the world-famed sacred
white elephant of Burma is to be presented
in the menagerie of the Ringing Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows when
the big circus exhibits at Washington, D.
c., on May 81 and 20.
Pawah is the first of his kind to be found
in more than three hundred years and the
only genuine sacred white elephant ever
brought to America. He is accompanied
by his supreme keeper. DR.. S. D. Pc Min,
and attended by a retinue of fourteen
native Burmese. The present is Pawahs
only season in America, the Ringing
Brothers being under bond to return him
to Burma at the close of the tour.
Pawah is of those rare elephants that
the Buddhists of today and centuries past
have worshipped in the belief that in their
huge bulk reposes the soul Of Buddha.
And certainly he is as different from those
elephants with which the public is famil-
lar as day is from night. His eyes are
milk white, set with sparkling pupils. His
skin is soft and plable. His body is white
as white man" is white. To quote the
French authority. M. Dussard, he is las
gentle as kitten and beautiful as Greek
statute"
This rarest Of beasts was found eight
years ago in the junsles Of Lower Burma,
midway between Mandalay and Rangoon.
Last summer he was brought to England
under the protection of the British gov
eminent and in the face of threats from
the Buddhist priests who protested that
his departure from Burma would bring dire
calamities. More than two million people
saw Pawah when he was presented under
the auspices Of the London Geological So
ciety. The bringing of the white elephant
to America is in furtherance of the Ring
ling policy Of constant enlargement. The
arenic portion Of this seasons circus intro
duces five rings in place of the usual three.
The big shows personnel numbers more
than sixteen hundred people, and nine
hundred horses. A hundred double-length
railway cars are required to transport its
ten thousand marvels. plus special Pull
man for Pawah and his attendants.
