The weath- • 1 Jiu-ing the two weeks he was in' the ; i middle west was so oppressive that en- , ' jnyinuiit was out of the question. The ( ■mly real good time he had was two , hours he s]>eiit in a swimming pool in . . Kansas City. Dr. McCurdy filled the pulpit on two . Sundays at both morning and evening ] ! services, of the Bales avenue Baptist ( Church. Kansas City, at one of the ser- , iees the thermometer registered 107 , and the humidity was 58. It was no , wonder that Dr. AlcCurdy .preferred , Cape Alay.. ( After one of the services the chair- | t man of the pulpit committee asked Dr.- ( Mi-Curdy if be would consider a call ( (to pertnanently fill the pulpit. Dr. ( j MeCurdy replied that if he couji. preach ( f 1 in Kansas City and live in-"Cape Alay , i he would consider the call . j Pastor AlcCurdy was particularly ( struck by the progressive spirit of the Kaitaans and in speaking concerning t that feature said: '"If we had the proI gressive spirit in Cape May that they | have in Kansas City and other western ( Ttowns there would never be anything ( 1 but good seasons . The y are the great - ! est erovyd of boosters I ever met . But i they know a whole lot more about Oape May than they did.

SPEEDING IN WEST CAPE MAY : LIFE OF PEDESTRIANS IN CONSTANT DANGER BY THE RECKLESS DRIVING OF AUT0M0BILISTS— SAME CONDITIuN EXISTS WITH MOTORCYCLISTS. From Friday's Daily Star and Wave. : The speed of automobiles is getting, ] ' in a very large number of cases on ( 1 Broadway boulevard, far beyond the ( law and safety, and in parts of the bor- ' ougli. We mention one place, espec- , ially where all the accidents we've had | ! have occurred. It is on the | ' sharp turn of the street between the ( Taylor and Johnston homes on upper - ! Drivers, either way, cannot ■ see a half block ahead, atid two cars ( ' coming from opposite directions, are ( 1 easily liable to crash into each other ( ' for a fatal -mas'li up. ( The borough lias simply put up a j ' "Caution"' sign at the crossing of the ^ : line, and nothing more to ■ check the dangerous speeding through t ' the borough where ^the street is so full { of machines ami wagons and many j ' children and adults arc crossing and re- , ' crossing the street. But why limit our alarm to automo- ( when hundreds of young men < possessed of motorcycles, are trying out ( ' their speed . And many of these come - down the pike with the most reckless ' abandon and fho most tcrrifiic speed t through the borough. They should be j up to some safe standard of run- ] We are giving these warnings and suggestions for the benefit of all and it might be for .the ultimate saving of the j H\ es of some of our residents who have j 1 thoughtlessly fallen into the habit of t speeding. -o , 90 MILES OF FILMS DAILY; THIS COUNTRY FINDS TREMEN : DOUS FOREIGN MARKET FO , MOVING PICTURE FILMS— COST I EIGHTY-FIVE CENTS A FOOT TO ' MANUFACTURE. I From Friday's Daily Star and Wave.', It may be of interest for patrons the "movies" in Cape Alay. to know tha j every day this country is exporting : more than 90 miles of moving picture ; {films. Last year we sold the appre- : Iciative foreigners only about 30 miles, lot such films every day. K J We buy leas than a third as many j ( I miles as we sell, but our purchasers j ^ ' ! are four times as great bow as they | were one year ago la I It costs nearly eighty -five cents on \ j I the average to produce a foot of film, ! ^ which - includes the pay for actors, ac- ' ■ tresses and scenery, as well as the fae- j tory charges. The moving picture business is grow- | ing faster than any other American j , j enterprise. Owners of movies say that | ^ ' j an average of one person in eight of j j I the total population in the country goes , I to a movie every day . That's what it | | means to cater to an enormous number | of people by charging a small fee. { j .There is now invested in moving pic- j « jture houses and film factories about , ' $2* for every inhabitant of this republic. 1. | Here'sut least one industry which reck-!, i not of tarirt laws, Mexico or the rate \ i^APE MAY A.
