position after attaining It.

friends and was honored and
admired by all the citizens

idea Of coming TO Atlantic
City to make our homes and
s fortunes, we were members
of the good old South End
Wheelmen's Club, the lead
ing bicycle club OF that tine
in South + li:alClphia.
We both played on the
South End football team, con
sidered at that time one of
the hardest teams outside Of
the college teams to beat.
1t was here that he got his
carly training in sports and
began to take a very active
interest in sports to the end.
His place will be a very
hard one to fill.

Built Fortune From
Picture Post Cards

Sir Adolph Tuck was the picture
post card pioneer, says the Boston
Herald. His father, Raphael Tuck,
founded firm making cheap pictures
for London only. The son rapidly ex-
tended the business to the British
islands as whole and then seized
upon the coming of the telegraph as
his opportunity for an enormous ex-
pansion of his slowly developing in
dustry. He started with six sets of
designs, the next year there were
twenty, the third year fifty. He OBJ
tanned the aid of professional artists
and his competitive exhibitions Of the
paintings to be reproduced on his
cards were attended by such crowds
as nowadays throng the movies.
He went one year to every one OF
the royal academicians with requests
for new designs and not few found
1t consistent with their dignity to ac-
cept his offers. Famous poets wrote
verses for his cards. But Tennyson
had the fortitude to refuse an offer Of
1000 guineas (S5,255) for 1000 words
Of verse. This indomitable and enter
prising promoter of an industry which
he had himself created spent many
weary weeks In conference with the
postal authorities over the size OF his
cards His business success made him
q baronet and a prominent British
Anancier.

A WISE SHERIFF

Sheriff Harry Powers, of Wyandotte
county, Kansas, is showing heap
more common sense about young folks
than the people who spend time and
money raving about the "petting" and
other alleged shortcomings of the
younger generation. The sheriff is
quoted as advocating a "spooners
park" where those smitten by Cupid's
dart may make love without interfer-
ence from busybodies. Such park
should be under supervision, however
the sheriff qualified.
why, young folks nowadays have
no place at all for their spooning,
the sheriff declared. "We can't allow
it on the highways. Parking cars
there endangers life. The town is
building up in the districts that used
to be suburban. There is no room
for the spooners.
Young folks are going to spoon
they have since time immemorial anC
they will until the millennium is reach.

CAMP CAMPBELL GARD


On last Friday, under auspicious
conditions, dedication took place of the
beautiful boys camp presented by Mr.
and Mrs. Homer Gard to the Y. M. C.
A., as a memorial to their departed
son, Charles Campbell Gard, whose
name the camp is to bear for all time.
The camp will be known as Camp
Campbell Gard, and is to be for the
use of Hamilton boys and young men.
The camp is beautifully and ideally
situated, just four miles north of the
city. In all, there are 30 acres of
land on which are 10 bunk houses for
sleeping, a recreational lodge, dining
lodge, hospital, camp directors lodge,
guest home, two shower houses and
pump house. All buildings are
equipped with every modern appliance
obtainable. There is fine electric
pump on the grounds, and they and
all buildings are electrically lighted.
But to appreciate the beauties of the
camp and its completeness one must
see it. 1t can't be described with
full justice to the donors 1t is said,
and by those in position to konw, that
there isn't a finer nor better equipped
boys camp to be found in the state
than Camp Campbell Gard.
AS stated before, the camp is to
be for the use of Hamilton's boys and
young men. 1t will be place where
they will not only find wholesome
summer recreation but where they will
get, under competent supervision
training that will make of them manly
men, and which training will go fan
toward directing their steps to sue
cessful future life, as well. The camp
is going to mean much for our boys
our future citizenry.
1t is indeed a munifcent and noble
gift from Mr.. and Mrs. Gard, and in
the words of Hon. Chas. p Taft, one
of the speakers at the dedication cere-
monies, "Mr. and Mrs. Gard could not
have given a more fitting memorial
for the inspiration of the boys and
girls of Hamilton than this camp"
and which expression the Press hear
tily joins.

Proued His Contention

There Is none so deaf as he who
will not hear, and there Is none SO
feeble as he who hates manual work.
The man detested it, He worked hard
and brilliantly with his head, and con
sequently only worked when ne had to
with his hands. At the earnest solicit
tation of some moving power he finally
consented to NOW the lawn 1t was a
long, dreary process to him, and he
loved 1t less every minute he was on
the job. When he finished he looked
at his hands partly in sorrow, partly
in triumph, and then he went to his
wife and stretched out those hands
accusingly. See" he said "see those
blisters? Didn't / tell you that
wasn't strong enough to do it?"-

CuthedraPs Fire Brigade

st. Paul's cathedral In London has
Its own private fire brigade and wa
ter service. The water service was
installed shortly before the World
war. Though the cathedral does not
appear to the casual observer as be-
ing building that would burn easily,
being mostly of stone, there are hid
den away In the thickness of It's walls
and elsewhere In it's interior several
hundred passages, corridors, rooms,
staircases and cupboards composed
largely of wood. The great outer
dome, which Is to be seen from the
street, also Is made of wood, encased
with lead. Another reason for the
fire brigade is the fact that most of
the wood In the structure is many
years old and unusually dry, making
1t excellent tinder in event fire
should start in the building. London

Tire-Changing Thinking

Roadside wit Is, after all, the test
Of friendship. One should not get In
too deep with people until one has
had a blowout with them.
The extra man In the car may be
silent for hundred miles, but he al
ways has plenty to say about the right
way to jack-up somebody else's ma
chine.
The passengers can trample forty
acres while the host is hunting for a
lost wrench, or tinkering with de-
mountable rim, but they never run
into any poison Ivy. That's always in
the spot where the bedraggled owner
sits down at the picnic supper.-Kan-

HEAR Mr.. YOUNG

SLOWLY we are learning that low
wages for labor do not necessarily
mean high profits for capital" said
Owen D. Young, of General Electric,
at a recent dedication of business
school at Harvard. Eve are learning
that an increasing wage level is
wholly consistent with diminishing
commodity price level. We are learn
ing that productivity of labor is not
measured alone by the hours of work,
nor even by the test of physical IA
tigue in particular job.
What we need to deal with are not
the limits to which men may go with

out physical exhaustion, buy the limits
within which they may work with
zest and spirit and pride of accom-
plishment. When zest departs, labor
becomes drudgery. When exhaustion
enters, labor becomes slavery. Zest
is partly a matter of physical condi-
tion, but it is also largely influenced
by mental actions"
Surely these words of wisdom which
might well be needed by some of Mr..
Young's less enlightened big business
compatriots.
