And at the Baa We CKy Chamber meeting last week ai|pUar action was taken. It may take time to bring this about, but if the so-called ‘'Pleasure

pointx years ego was possible, certainty such serrioe la now doubly within the realm of poaslblliUee. Just before the war we hare the word of the then Superintendent of this division of the Pennaylranla Railroad. Mr. Bockalew. that plans were all ready for the electrification of the road between Ocean City and Stone Harbor, with a view of establishing this nerriee. but the with its demand upon the raiiroa'ds and the shortage of railroad equipment. materials aad money made the diaeardment of the plan necessary. Now. however, with these conditions relieved, and the practical use of-gfiaottne passenger type coaches established, obstacles appear to be removed, aad the time is'rife for concentrated action to bring this ser-

vice about.

It is to to hoc i that the civic ©»- ganUationa of Ocean City, Avalon and Stone Harbor will hack movement, and that the South J) Commuters Association will take a hand in toying this matter before the

T stories are largely adaptations plays originally constructed tor the ear or of novels that were intended to be read. Witt the possible exception of Griffith they have completely failed to follow out the line that lay plainly before them. They have tried to force the film to portray stories deliberately constructed to be read or acted instead of getting stories written expressly tor the film. This may be verified by the subtitles.

CHAHCE TO PROVE ns sxnoiEBCY The new Sute Highway Commission haa an excellent chance its efficiency, and its honest of purpose. in the speedy pavement of the Main Seashore Road. When Coufiniasion met in Cape May Coydty it promised early consideration of this matter, and It la to be n or not It will ioi be taken out \xi consideration. Road is one of traveled roads In the Stain during the summer months, and Already. before the season has opened, the road In many placet. Is In very bad condition. What it wlH be next July can well be Imagined, and nothing so hurts a resort county as bud

ada

Of course tbe road cannot be pleted. even If work was suited on the pavement at once, in time for this summer, but the fact that tbe road is in the building will at prove to the visiting motorist that tbe condition they meet this year to being remedied, and will serve to smooth out tbe Tough traveling. Let's hope that the Highway Commission means to give Cape May County real service. A most excellent opportunity )» now afforded to prove this.

THE RIGHT THING rttor RIGHT TIME Ay MARY MARSHALL DUPRE IN A LIBRARY

unmarried, were enjoined by sticklers on behavior not to viait public libraries or picture galleries or muuni ere they were accompanied by a chaperon or escort of some sort —that Ia unless they were forced to do ao In pursuit of their dally breed. Now our cK.dren go to the libraries alone from the time they are able to go Sfiywhere, and there could herdly be a better place for them to spend their time. Bnt they should be cautioned to abide by certain rule* of 1 manners when In a library- if they are to be welcome vlsltora. In the first place, the rale of silence should be obeyed very punctiliously. And for that reason these is distinctly an advantage in going alone to a library, for then there la no temptation to talk. To go with a friend to a library without some serious Intention of studying or reading Is certainly is very poor taste. In cities there to always a class of persona who go to the library because it la a comfortable sort of place, well heated In winter and cool In summer, better perhaps than their own homes as a place for an Idle hour, agreeable for a nap now and then and not a bad place for a little : flirtation. Sometimes yon will even see one of these library enthnalaats latching a bit of cold Innch from a paper bag kept covertly hidden from the vigilant eye of the librarian under cover of a book. to> do not make that tort of convenience of your Lbrery. Tto not use it as a rendezvous, aa a convenient place to meet tbe young woman whoa* does not wish to receive yew in the home. Always remember when yon are la a library that If yon have any qnsstions they should be addressed to on* tbs persons In attendance. If you not know how to use the catalogues not consult anojber reader, but go to ona of the librarians, whose hnrtIt to to give Just that sort of instruction. If yon do not know where to find s bit of Informs tlon for which yon are In search, yon are qnita at liberty to ash one of the librarians to help yoe. Usually women do not remove their bats In pnb!!r places. That la. It would be regarded In very exceptional taste 1 to take off the hat In a department j ■tore or for luncheon at a restaurant; and only when the Journey la to be long would a woman remove her hat In a railroad train. Bnt It to perfectly all right for a woman to remove her hat when efce la going to read for any length of time in tbe library. In a Large library she may check this with her coat and any other acceeaoriea at the entrance door, or she may simply slip It from her head after she hat taken her place at her seat. It Is extremely Inconsiderate, however, to spread one’a hat and other personal belongings about so aa possibly to be an" inconvenience to others. Wet umbrellas should never be carried into a library. If there is no checking desk they ahould be left In the umbrella rack at tbe door. (0. 1UI. by KeCIsn Nvmpspn syeHlesU.)
