HONEYMOONERS
HAVE WON FIGHT
Continued from Page ~

first the buildings weren't high and
sailors had an unobstructed view
Of the light. Then the Atlantic
ocean swept sand on the beach, by
the millions of tons, extending the
shoreline. In the early days Of
this century the lighthouse found
itself 1900 feet inland. With all this
new land going to waste, the city
fathers cut Pacific avenue past
Absecon light and began to sell build
ing lots.
Upon them were built some Of the
fanciest hotels In the land, vast, tow
ering structures, which made the
lighthouse look like toy. These
skyscrapers separated the light from
the ocean, but every night the
keeper climbed the circular stairway
anyway. and set his brilliant warn
ing signals to blinking-in the eyes
Of the newlyweds.
Lighthouse Useless
As the department Of the treas
ury observed, this situation made
the light practically useless as a
lighthouse" It didn't do couple
Of the biggest hotels any good either.
Nobody wanted to sleep In O bed
room Illuminated at intervals Of 80
seconds bly, q light 50 briht, 1t looked
blue, and which seemed after q
couple Of hours Of watching 1t to be
winking with intent malicious.
Not until July, 1888, did the bu-
reau Of lighthouses, department Of
commerce, get around to turning
off the light. Still 1t remained a
menace to the peace Of mind OF the
newlyweds. They never knew when
the government might decide to
light 1t up again.
Today the commerce ended this
suspense, by conveying the property
TO the procurement division Of the
treasury, which announced that on
December 10 1t would advertise for
bids on the light which tortured 80
many llewly-marrieds.
The property consists Of the light
house itself, an oid-fashioned eight
room brick house. furnished tn the
style Of Queen Victoria. In which the
head keeper used TO live, and two
smaller houses In which his assist
ants had their being.
Nuisance Value Greatest
The land cost the government
e3Ti.a0. It has an assessed value now
Of e03,0s0, while It's nuisance value
--as many q distressed honeymooner
win testify--is much greater.
The bids win be opened january

Washington, November 30--Now
that Big Business is cuddling up to
the New Deal again, you can expect
q number OF raids on the admins
tration personnel.
National desire OF financial-indus-
trial interests to employ men who
know the ropes and can exert influ-
ence In Washington plus the natural
desire of most New Dealers to make
a little money Is bound to result
in some Job changes which will be
news.
Feelers already are being ex-
tended toward several more or less
prominent officials.
One of Roosevelt's great prob
lens has been lack Of adequate
personnel. especially on the adj
ministrativc end. But Big BUSH
ness probably will be glad to lend
hina plenty Of new help. That also
has been one Of Roosevelt's troubles.
With Jim Farley away in Eu-
rope, Hollywood knows more than
Washington about reports that the
movie industry has a $4,000 q
year job for him, although such
ruInors have been current In the
capital Just before leaving, Far
ley swore he hadn't received any
offers, but there has been plenty
Of trans oceanic radio traffic since
then and everybody knows Jim Is
quitting the cabinet.
The movie magnates stuck their
distance in the anti-Roosevelt
campaign that they're supposed to
be feeling that Jim would be a
bargain at $4,000.
Farley's Prestige Scars
Furthermore, the election so
enhanced Farley's prestige that
even John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,

Also, Jim has perhaps more i'm

his network of these was what

NEEDY, former SEC chairman, will
be hired as sort of "czar" or

industry, with the primary func-
tion of compromising differences
between the industry and the ad-
ADMINISTRATION.
Some Of his best friends, how
ever, say the rumors are being
inspired by those who want to ap-
peal to Joe's vanity and at the
same time create demand for
such a deal.
That's all there Is TO the story
at the moment, but there may be
more, because some utilities men
are preaching that it would be bet
ter TO submit to strict regulation
