People who bad any money jut H away somewhere so that if a time came when they really bad to have it they would have it. The bankers called ] it boarding and were perfectly right in laying it was a mistake to do it. But you can't make human nature over in a sight. So people had to trade the commodities themselves instead of the coin that represents commidities. Kow, Europe has a good many troufates but there is one trouble she' hasn't to any such degree and that is the mailorder house. The enemies that are hurting the countries over there and destroying towns and homes come from without instead of from within. They are bombarding the country villages with bombs instead of mail order logsHut we hate to think what some towns would do for a circulating medium if a thing like that ever happened over here and the coin all ran to cover. We mean those towns where the mail order catalog goes about seeking whom H may devour. There isn't much ready money in a town like that, anyway. And if such a community had to exchange commodities instead of cash it would have an awful time. Who would want to swap a ton of good hay Of .a set of mail-order harness? Who would Care to exchange some perfectly good butter for a mail-order choir? And who would want to trade almost any kind of a mail-order thing for something from the same source and maybe get even worse? There would be dTily one way to do business and that would be the mailorder way — sight unseen. Instead of taking the harness over to a neighbor to swap it for a mair-order suit of clothes, perhaps, the thing to do would be to take over a picture of it and show the other fellow that. The clothes or the harness would look A-l in a picture. But the actual article, especially if it had, b«en in use s littie while, would be a hard thing to drive a bargain with. It would be as hard as driving nails with a mail-order hammer. No, if the coin ever disapears in this country and we have to trade actual commodities, the mail order house and the mail order patron are going to have a hard time doing taurines*. , A SHAKING -UP COMING H the leasing of the land along Delaware Ray Shore from (.bin- May Point ta Fishing Creek, a stretch of over ten miles, is put to the use for which the leases Were secured. South Jersey shore front dwellers should bear it in mind thr.t indistinct quavers or tremors resembling earthquakes are not seismic disturbances contributed by Dame Nature but by the hand of man. The Bethlehem Steel Company will j test the big guns it makes and a second Randy Hook is promised. Telephone lines and all other accessories to prevent mishaps are being installed and Oape May promises f<5 have a wakingup that may teach that section of the state she is still on the map. What effect such a proving ground for missive ordnance will have upon the future of Cape, May City as a summer | reaort is conjectural.

At the meeting of the National j j Orange in Wilmington last month. Mrs. i A. F. Hall, wife of the Master of the J j Wyoming Orange, was chairman of a" ' ' committee on Home Economies and the | ' jrep^ft of that Committee showed the 1 ' ; ahbjwt* to In- of such importance, tlie i committee was made permanent; was)( 'j given glial, to uw-iu. extending the in- ' ' ten-st, and is to hagejbne session of the annual meeting in San Francisco next year, for this topic alone. 1 The Cape May County Council for Home Culture at ita meeting in Court ' House the 3d iust. had some interest- I ing reports by the delegates frqin the i several school centres in which the work is in progress. Chairman Aaron W. Hand reported increasing interest. Quite a number of delegates and who had good work to tell of were absent because of illness Mrs. Baner of Bees- ' ley's Point, and Mrs. Stafford, of Green- ' field, representing Upper Township at the meeting of the State Congress of Mothers, reported upon special features. The keynote of all was "growth". Both j hud organized Home Culture Clubs in their territory. Mrs. Edna Endicott. j of Rio Grande, read a letter written to ^ her by Mrs. A. H. Reeve, chairman of P the Country Life of the Congress, and j which explained several things: That t the report cards for the Mother's signs - j tu re and upon which advancement depended also the ribbons, badges and pins f were provided by the Congress, and were .to be awarded as soon as earned and al r member of a club must be a wearer of j|at least a ribbon to compete for a Home Culture prize in a genetal competition; e the club meetings could be held where-" , ever local conditions favored, that is in 5 scltool house, or dwelling, and with the . qamr of the club, the work to be done j and the - raott«v were for each club to r decide for itself. Mrs. Reeve sent also a j list of books that would prove_ helpful, j espi-cially recommending those of Mis* r ' A loot t and Miss Johnstone. r | Mr*. Stafford's call for organizing was J through the teachers and was coupled t with a request to bring scissors and 0 thimble. The first work was upon an apron to be worn at the meetings, and B which the members took home to finish with the understanding that the work s on it must be their own. The dues were 1 fixed at 10 cents a year. It was decided 1 to group tile members according to efe ficiency. The initial enrollment was 1(1. Miss Elsie Ott was assistant. Miss Myra Way. in charge of the sewing classes of the ilcean View school hud not organized her pupils as a Home Culture flub buh would do so. Mrs. Hartmann, of Woodbine, talked ' with several mothers of the inatt.-r and at the time named for organizing, over 15(1 girls asked to Iff enrolled, and 22 mothers were ready to give time to acting as counsellors. Several teachers lot the high school offered their help I a- instructors. The work would be in I j cooking and housework as sewing was j bein|; taught in schools. In Rio Grande the school house was preferred. as the meeting place. There j were 14 girls for enrollment at the first meeting and Mrs. Endicott told it as one p on herself that of the number 13 gave her the vote for counsellor and the r fourteenth who wanted some one else was her own little daughter, showing r j that sometimes even children weary, or } .think they do. of home rule* The name j chosen was "Sunshine" and the motto r was "Do some kindness every day." A11 _ | work, it was decided, was to be sold _ i at a fair" to be held in .the Spring, and j the proceed* used l(T bring an orphan ' child for a time to the shore.
