MANY ARE PRESENT
AT G. O.P. SESSION
Second Ward Republican Club
Gathers at Green Grill
For Meeting
MAYOR ADAMS SPEAKER


One of the largest political gath
erings in the history of Ventnor
politics was held last week when
more than a hundred members of
the Second Ward Republican Club
met at the Green Grill, Atlantic
City, to further the cause of can
didates, as endorsed by the club
for the coming primaries
The club as whole pledged it's
support to Norris Royal, who is
seeking election to council. Royal,
who was toastmaster, was for
mer chief of the Ventnor fire de-
partment. He will, if elected, take
over this committee.
Addresses were made by Mayor
Carleton Adams, Surrogate Albert
Abbott, Councilman Byron Jenkins,
County Campaign Manager, Ber-
tram E. Whitman, City Clerk Chas.
Reppetto, and George H. Bratten,
who is seeking reelection as city
comptroller. Bratten is not a mem
Der of this club but it leading
factor in the First ward organiza-
ton. He was invited to this az
fair by unanimous vote of the
club, which will support him.
Mayor Adams, in his address,
scored newspaper criticism of his
appointment of John Barnshaw, re-
Gently retired captain of the Allan
tic City Detective Bureau, to take
over the reins of the Ventnor de.
partment. He explained that Barn
shaw was not placed in his present
position because he, the Mayor, was
dissatisfied with the work of any
one else in the department.
He praised the work of Chief
Frings, but pointed out that with
the increasing growth of the city
the police force must work on
larger scale and this was his move
to strengthen the department. He
declared that Barnshaw's present
duties are directly connected with
the department of police but the
added title director of public well
fare was approved by council so
that Barnshaw would be available
for other duties.
The Mayor also commended the
club on its showing and choice of
candidates and called attention to
the Importance of every Republi-
can voting on the constitutional
amendment at the special election
in September. This will change
the term of governor from three to
four years.
1t was also decided by the club
that at some meeting before cleo
ton the new law in full be ex-
planned.
The speeches were followed by
entertainment provided by talent
from the resort cabarets.

Why Not More Summer Band
Concerts for Washington?
Our Service Bands Are Great and Americans Visiting
Washington Are Entitled to Hear Them

Cleveland Ohio has joined many other American cities
IN providing free symphony concerts during the
SON. These the expense Of the cities many Of
which provide ample seating arrangements in parks together
with sounding boards.
Washington is run on lines so entirely different other
cities is possible give free concerts here municipal
expense without action long in advance by Congress but
do have three splendid service bands representing the
Army Navy, and Marine Corps.
The District Commissioners control these fine
musical organizations Still they could probably the
necessary influence have concerts by these bands than
IN past years
Washington it must be borne in mind by Federal and Dis
rct officials belongs to the people of the United States
holds deep place in their patriotic affection
Thousands Of Americans from all parts of the nation visit
this National City each month"; spending much time here
They many things attract them broaden them
their visits could be made pleasant by frequent oppo
unies to attend openair concerts by service bands
We do have occasional through the summer season
BY these bands at the White House. the Capitol
some at the Marine Barracks, at other places
Tie number Of these might be largely increased however
TO the enjoyment Of visitors and home people
The concerts in the White House grounds much appre
cated yet too many of them there might interfere with the
privacy of presidential families.
The Capitol like Washington belongs to the people Of the
nation who maintain with their taxes they maintain these
service bands.
The Capitol the center Of interest to the multtudes of
strangers daily coming to this city The fine plaza there is
well adapted concerts and Federal authorities could easily
arrange for each afternoon in the week for strangers
and Washington people The three service bands could alter
nate in their musical activities.
When the Union Station Capitol plaza completed it
will be wonderful place for almost daily concerts by these
service organizations It's proximity to the Union Station
would permit many strangers with few hours Washington

SACRIFICE DEER TO
CHECK PLAGUE

THE foot and mouth disease
u which sneaked into California
through garbage from ships from
the Orient fed to hogs near the
Mare Island Navy Yard early in
1924 was conquered, but at the
enormous cost OF nearly seven
million dollars and the sacri-
flee of more than one hundred
thousand domestic animals.
A bulletin OF the American Pro-
tective Association says that 1t
may not be generally known that
this epizootic invasion also cost the
lives of more than twenty-five
thousand wild deer of the Sierra
Nevada mountains. This IL not n
estimate or a mere guess at the
number OF deer lost. These deer
were deliberately and intentionally
: hunted and slaughtered in order TO
check the spread of the disease
which had been found to have OBJ
tanned a foothold among them.
The entire campaign of eradica-
ton Of the disease was co-ordinated
under an officer Of the u. s. De-
partment OF Agriculture. which in
cluded the stamping out Of the In
lection among the deer. There
was nothing of it in the newspa-
pers. California had suffered ire
mendously from fear and hysteria
in the early stages of the disease
invasion. Therefore. news was
suppressed while the eradication
process was going on.
After 1t was discovered that the
deer had become infected it was de-
cided to take drastic measures and
destroy the entire herd in the af-
fected district, il necessary. 1t
was estimated that it might mean
The Washington times., 1927-06-03

the sacrifice OF 10000 animals, but
SO much larger was the herd than
estimated that more than double
that number were actually killed.
This was the first instance on
record of the infection of wild deer
with this disease and there was no
precedent to go by in dealing with
1t. Forty-three camps of hunters,
each containing from three to ten
hunters, were established, forming
a Gordon encircling the entire in
fected area. The work OF suppress
sion began In 1924 and by the
spring of 1925 all instances of in
lection had disappeared. The deer
destroyed were killed by shooting.
and to some extent by poisoning
under carefully controlled methods.
The exact number of deer killed
was 22,214, all of which were ex-
amined by veterinarians, and
slightly over 10 per cent, or 2,27e
animals, found to be actually In
fected.
The area affected by the disease
infection included the Standislaus
National Forest and a portion Of
the Yosemite National Park.
Fortunately. the work OF eradica.
ton was complete and effective
and the disease was completely
stamped out. Had 1t not been It
would undoubtedly have spread
through the adjoining ranges Of
the wild deer into Nevada and
Oregon and from them to the do
nestle cattle and sheep all through
the Mountain States. Handled az
1t was, in such an effective and
drastic manner, the epizootic did
not spread beyond the borders of
California, either among wild or
domestic animals.

THE BEGINNINGS
By Garrett P. Serviss

} plicated, physically and mathe-
matically, and has led to a great
deal of discussion and undergone
considerable development in detail
since it was first set forth.
One Of the first objections to
the planetesimal theory was based
on the great unlikelihood of such
meetings of two suns as the theory
assumes. However in view of the
immense extension that recent
theory has given to the lifetime of
stars, and of the increasing knowl-
edge of the motions of the stars,
this objection does not appear as
strong as it once did.
At first, too, the theory seemed
to find support from the appear
ance of the spiral nebulae, which
some thought were actually exist
ing examples of the early stages
of systems developing in accord
ance with the assumptions of the
planetesimal theory. This idea is
now abandoned, anc, indeed, some
at least of the spiral nebulae ap.
pear to be outlying stellar sys.
TENS, "island universes," bearing
no resemblance to planetary
system at any stage in its de-
velopment.
The planetesinal theory would
seem, more than the Laplace the.
DRY, to make OF our solar system
a very rare, not to say unique,
phenomenon. But it must be re-
membered that, at the best, we
are dealing only with speculation.
The present fate OF the Laplace
theory, like that of the former
atomic theory, is warning
against putting too much depend
ence upon even the best accredited
scientific hypothesis. 1t is good
for immediate consumption only.
Or 1t is a scaffolding by the aid
of which a more permanent struc-
ture is being erected. Science Is
a living thing. 1t grows like a
tree. It's identity remains, but its
form changes by the very law Of
it's being.
The time will surely come when
the planetesimal theory will be
as archaic in the eyes of up-to-date
science as it's now discarded rival
appears to the leaders of the new
astronomy of our day.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

What We Know About Men
THERE are times when a hus.
i band wonders bitterly WHY,
with 100000 bachelors in the
United States, his wife should have
picked on HIM!
No matter how much faith she
may have in her husband. a
woman can't help feeling a little
shiver of misgiving when he
changes stenographers in the
SPRING.
The greatest shock of a mans
life is his discovery that it takes
brains rather than brute force"
to run an automobile--or a woman.
The average man acts as as
tonished, when his wife discovers
the fragrant or alien perfume on
his coat-lapel, as il the doctor had
found his heart on the right side
and his appendix on the left. He
simply can't explain" 1t!
The way tC catch a mans eye.
dear heart, IS usually through
some OTHER mans eyes. A man
Is never quite sure he wants any.
thing until he discovers that some
other man wants it.
Nowadays a girl IL so ashamed
OF being called a sentimentalist
that she cultivates calIouses all
over her heart, wears a coat-of.
mail over her vanity, and insulates
her emotions.
1t may have been a nervous
prospective June bridegroom who
discovered that these were "the
longest days in the year"-and
then again it may have been only
a restless husband waiting for his
wife to go away to the country.
No man is getting old until he
arrives at that age where what
was once temptation" begins
to look like a TASK, and where
he is so busy counting his calories
that he doesn't even SEE a pretty
woman at the next table.
A woman follows her intuition:
but, at this time of year a man
is apt to follow almost anything
with "come-hither" look in its
eye.
