Calvert Free Pier
Al Atlantic Civ,
Reopens, 3rd Year

ATLANTIC CITY, May II. = The
Calvert Free Pier here has re-
opened for the third consecutive
year, putting at the disposal of
visitors to that resort city facilities
which are nowhere else available on
the boardwalk without cost.
First opened in 1887, the Calvert
Free Pier has since that time been
visited by thousands. The pier is
located on the boardwalk opposite
Pennsylvania Avenue and has be-
come widely known because of the
facilities for rest and relaxation
which it offers
Benches along the length of the
pier which stretches a quarter of
a mile out to sea, are available for
those who want to cool off in the
ocean breezes and enjoy the sun.
At the end of the pier, Calvert has
built an exhibit house Stimulating
an old log cabin in which replicas
If its distilleries are on display as
well as other material of an edu-
cational nature.
This Worlds Fair year the COM
pany expects that, because of the
influx of travellers to the east, there
will be many more visitors to its
Free Pier than during the two previ-
Gus seasons.

ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Les

@. When one has been invited to
party, or other affair, and after
accepting he contracts a severe cold,
what should he do?
A. Phone the hostess and express
how sorry you are that you cannot
come, but do not go.
@. Shouldn't motorist be just
as courteous on the road as he is
at some social functionP
A. If there is any distinction, he
should be more alert and courteous,
as safety is factor.
@. What is the difference be-
tween the formal and the informal
tea?
A. The decorations of the infor-
NAL tea are not so elaborate and
the refreshments are more simple.
The hostess at an informal affair
mingles with her guests and does not
remain at the door to greet each
newcomer.

eHoroscobe
The stars incline
but do not compel"
FRIDAY, MAY IL, 1889

Benefic aspects dominate in the
horoscope for today. according to
astrology. 1t is fortunate day for
women.
College girls come under a plane
tary government that is most pro-
missing at this time. There is pre-
diction that a world famous woman
of the future will be graduated this
year from an American university.
This is a favorable date for sign
ing contracts, leases and partner
ship agreements. 1t is not auspici-
Gus, however, for reaching under
standings with labor organizations.
Entertainments are well directed
under this sway.
The configurat ton stimulates love
affairs. Men of many ages may be
unduly susceptible to the charms of
women. Hasty marriages and speedy.
divorces may be numerous this year.
Secret Vaccinations may be en-
couraged under this aspect of Nep-
tune. Warning is given against class
consciousness, race prejudice and
stubborn devotion to lost causes.
For the middle of this year i'm
portant government changes in
Great Britain are prognosticated
President Roosevelt will welcome a
new Cabinet member.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of advance
ment in financial and professional
matters. The health of the family
should be carefully watched.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be clever and witty, yet
serious in purpose and avid for
knowledge Many succeed in voca-
lions that bring them before the
public.

Second Czecho-SIovak Republic
cleveland Plain Dealer

Believers in democracy everywhere will hail the
formal steps taken by American citizens of Czech and
Sloyak extraction to establish provisional govern
ment looking toward the rebirth of their homeland.
The United States is the logical center for such
q movement. 1t was in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia that the first Czech republic born
in 1913 The assistance given the late Thomas G.
Masaryk by Americans did much to make the first
republic possible.
THE Czecho-Sovak National Council" as the
provisional government will be called is expected to
nave the support of Czechs and Slovaks throughout
the world. Its functioning here will in no way inter-
tere with the loyalty of to their adopt
ed country They will be working for aims similar to
The aims of the United States This nation had no
part IN the betrayal of the first republic at Munich
Thus the atmosphere will be more congenial here
Than in either Britain France
The one man qualified to head such movement
IS former President Eduard Benes now lecturing
at the University OF Chicago Benes the last of the
trlumvirate composed of Masaryk, Stefanik and him
self which brought about independence in the World
War 1t ronic that twenty years later he is engaged
IN similar work of rescuing his homeland from for
egn master
People whose ideals SO closely akin to those
OF American democracy, who become such loyal cit-
zes OF the United States count the cooperation
OF thousands of American friends in their battle for
renaissance of Czechoslovaka.
