CAPE MAY STAR ANDWA! ALBERT R. HAND, President. A. L. EWING, Adv. Manager. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.50 a. — STAR & WAVE PUBLISHING

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY QUESTION ness have been urging attention to the er ation of a public hbrary in this city for a number of years, to have hac the subject dircussed so intelligenth and forcefully by Miss Ruth Swain one of the honor graduates of th high school at the commencement ex ercises us her graduation thesis. . Al things. come to those who wait and worl while they wait and it may be tha the public spirited citizens who hav y desired. this addition: to ex as a modern city may have the pleasure of seeing a beginning made at an early date and an en downtvnt created which will insure its eontinuance und perpetuation. The Cape May School of Agriculture, Industrial Art and Science, more widely known as the Cape May Sum me School, was founded in 1907 as a private enterprise promoted by a few of our citizens because of the conviction that it represented an important movement for developing the | more practical side of the public school ‘system, and because they desired our eity to receive such benefit as ‘might mcerve from being known as the seat bf an institution of the kind. | Mr. T. D. Sensor, of the State Department af Public Instruction was sponsor for the enterprise. Several hundreds of dollars were subscribed and the school began its career in the summer of 1907. It continued here until the summer of 1913, when the establish ment of a summer school system by the State caused its discontinuance. A lot of supplies had accumulated in its possession and these were turned ever to the State School established at Ocean City, | About $1500 cash in the treasury was ‘retained, however, and has been drawing interest each year since, and now amounts to something. over $1600. Miss Swain alluded to this fund in her thesis and stated what is undeniable that "The money involved belongs to the people of Cape May and to nobody else, because it was cared by tbe use of the city‘s property, facilities and supplies." She might have added, also, by their actual cash contributions, . The interest en the fund would amount to from $60 to $100 per year. — One plan has been evolved for the use of this fund, which is stated in the following resolution which will be presented to the‘

school at their annual meeting in July Other plans may be presented and suggestions from any source are in order: WHEREAS, The Board of Educa tion of the City of Cape May, during the seven years of the life of the Cape May School of Agriculture, Industri Artr and Science, freely granted the use of its school buildings and equipment to said school during its seven sumer terms and supplied . other buildings and equipment when neces- , and bi W".EREAS, The discontinuance of said school left at the disposal of this Board of Trustees, a sum of money against which there are no claims or charges, therefore, Be it Resolved, by this Board of bas of the said Cape May® School of A.ziculture, Industrial | Art — and Science, That the said sum of money after the deduction of sufficient to pay for a proper memorial tablet and book cases be deposited with the Security Trust Company of Cape May City as Po rors bes advantage consistent with its ab solute safety, according to the diseretion of the said Trust Company that the annual interest earned thru the investment of | said | Fund, . be paid annually to the Board of Trustees to be constituted as hereafter provided to be used by them in the establishment and maintenance of a public library, memorial to said school, and to consist of standard books of veference, art, science and the best literature, ancient, medieval and modem. Be It Further Resolved, That the expenditure of the said money for the purposes enumerated above shall be under the direction of a Board of \ Trustees to consist of the City Superintendent of Schools, the Mayor of the City, the President of the Board of Education and two citizens and freeholders of the eity, to be appointed by the said City Superintendent, Mayor and President of the Board of Education after the first appointments, for terms of five years each, on January 1st, of the year in which vacancies oceur, and the first appointments to be made as soon after the passage of this resolution as possible, and that the Mayor of the City shall be ex- . ~officle chairman of said committee and

If rejected by the said Board of Education, it shall be re(turned to this Board of Trustees for further consideration. comMUNICATION Cape May Take Warning Editor Star and Wave, Dear Sir: Why do not the people, really interested in Cape May, try to keep the old place from dying m sad and dilapidated death. So many opportuni-; ties have been allowed to pass by, either from lack of energy on the part of the head dignitaries, or, from the feeling on their parts that everything [should be done for Cape May und she should do mothing for herself. The Government took hold of some of the properties and brought men into the community who put more or less money in circulation and it seems almost: impossible that Cape May should not take advantage of such conditions and try to hold and help , not only the Government, but, the people connected therewith. War conditions have helped Cape May. Families of the men employed in Government work moved to Cape May, cotos were taken on mccount of the

relations and friends having to remain in Cape May. Taxes were enfo {by the Government whicly more o (les reduced incomes and ple felt they . would not want to take . exjpensive trips and be far away from ‘business interests and on this account {have taken cottages near at home and [in ‘consideration of all this what ddes {Cape May offer? Nothing that is not absolutely necessary. | The Railroad service in the | first [place is poor and look at the station {to greet incomers. Pitiable. Look at [the streets, dirty and rough, full of holes and thoroughly . uncomfortable [for any kind of traffic. Look at the ‘City Hall surrounded with dead grass and weeds on the outside. Look at ithe road from Wissahickon Barracks, ea of the arteries into Cape . May from the world outside. Look again at Pittsburg Avenue, full of holes left ‘over from years past.. Look at the ‘base bail park, dilapidated in every way, and next to it the city dump which» contributes dirty news papers and rags and smoke to the best residential part of the city. Look at the Casino directly on the Ocean drive and you wil see a miscrable looking sight, half of it falling down. Try the Ocean drive and see what the road is like and cast your eyes on . the bourwalk and the piers, The Government even did expensive work on the city pier which made it possible to give one or two little plays, . See what the War Camp Community Service did for the men employed by the Government. But what did the city do to help and what are the high executives doing now for the few men here in the employ of the Government, or, for the people who have cottages. Again we might say nothing. What does Cape May ask in return for this nothing she gives? High in fact the highest, prices for rents, the ighest prices for food and gives the feeling generally, that if you | want anything you must get it for yourself, down, alas, to the evening | pupers which if you want to read you must carry from the shops. SIGHTSEER --moe-_.. It would seem that with a few ex ples in front of them to show the , the rest of our local business people would realize the property improvement value of removing . their sheds, and REMOVE THEM.

COMMUNICATION Editor of Star and Wave, Dear Sir: The merchants of Cape May appreciate the movement on the part of the City for cleaner streets, but we fur ther believe that to gain that end, it | would be better to place a large can on each block of the main street for the disposal of rubbish, consisting of candy bugs, peanut shells and fruit Most towns of our status have such a system, and impose a small fine for [throwing such rubbish as the cans are provided for into the street. This plan would undoubtedly operate effectively in Cape May. \ A MERCHANT, CONCE Wildwood, N.

Young Mr. Jones reached over and gove his adding machine a few tenta» tive jabs and again lipaed Into a rev erie. Five years out of a midwestern college, and David Rt. Jones hnd Hittle to boast of In the way of achievement. He had been ambitious, but enger and enthustaatle application to his job for five long years had failed to lift him out of the clerk‘s class. When he hrd taken the job in answer to an advertisement he had been assured of "cupid advan ent and a future for the right man." . But he was stil} doing the same work be lind been doing after bis first three months with the company. . He had stuck to one Job with sincere and industrious purpore without its bringing | bim . ugything In the way of advancement-ind pow that it was June again the prospect of another long, hot surimer to that office guiled him. With a thoughtful alr he withdrew from his wallet a clipping which be bad torn from his newspuper on the way downtown in the subway that morning. "WANTED-Athletic young mun ms | bortan on gentleman‘s estate. Connecticut shore. | Must be expert awlinmerknow motorbonts, sailboats and canoes-make repairs and be generally | useful and obliging; $60 monthly and | board. . See Mrs, Agnes Turner pra tween 10 and 12 Tuesday, Hotel Aric | wright" And after he lind read the ad through once more young Mr. Jones | arose from his desk and entered the | private office of his great and excinwive boss, the wellknown Mr. Henry P. Riggs. . Mr. Riggs, or "Old H. P," as he was called in the outer office, stared at the impulive Mr. Jones with surly ! surprise. The privacy of his domain had never before been so violated. "Well?" he demanded. "t‘m Jones/ said Jones, "David R. Jones. Ive been with this company five years. 1 have a fair education, a eertnin amount of brains and some ability. When I came here I was prom ised rapid udvancement and a future, and before I die of old age at $85 a aind L thought T‘d go into the matter with 3 ont repeated Old H. P. sourly. #I want a mun‘s job and $3,000 a year from today or I‘m through" ord H. P. glared, and the barest crinkle of a surcastic amile puckered up one corner of his mouth. | "You‘re | through, ®... .._. 1" he agreed, "and you { won‘t find three-thounand-dollar. Jobs banging on trees around this town, young man," . "Anyway," grinned Jones affably, "I

Cotoormoricoo I‘m rotten, ‘There are plenty of other trees growing in the orchard of Mus battun." "Very well," growled Old H. P., turn Ing buck to his deak, . "But If you don‘t get your fancy job you can hive your old one here any time before the Grat of September," be Gung over bie shoul« der, "Hub!" be grunted a few days later when the incident recurred to him. "The young squirt! And I was proud of Mfteen a week at his age!" But at that very moment David R. Jones, clad in a sleeveless Jersey and an old prir of fsnel trousers, was tuning up the engine of a Migh-powered motorbout up on the Connecticut shore. "Hello, boutman!" shouted a voice above the din, and Jones looked -up to sce a amiling face peering at him over the edge of the dock, She swung her legs over the side and turned around with the intention of sliding down backwards to the deck of the boat, same six feet below. Her wkirt caught on a bolt, but she kept right on sliding till the modest Mr. Joues was compelled to turn his face away. "Unbook te," she finally walled indignently. . And Jones, wiping his dirty hands on a piece of waste, reached up obediently and unhooked her, setting her safely on her feet with a grin. "My-my coming was quite a revela ton, wasn‘t {t?" she said demurely, the color deepening in her cheeks. But Jones had pretended not to notice, sithough the nlce men who pretend never to notice are the very ones who never miss anything. "Who might you bet" he asked pleasantly, "Im Lotts, the youngest," she Inughed. "Carlotta Riggs, you know, We only got here just a little while agoLouise and Nina and Aunt Agnes. Aunty says you ftpressed her very favorably at your interview in town, and she thinks you‘re going to be a very

Riggs was expected up to spend a week with his family, Lotta and Jones went acrdes the Bay In the motorboat to meet him, abd he was introduced to the bare-thouldered, brawny young boatman by his daughter. "Davy isa‘t really a boatman," er plained Lotta to her father that night ice young man who worked his head T five whole years for a grouchy old hance | |

So Davy made up his mind to have uice vacation this summer and find better Job nest fall." And as usual Lotta burried through ber dinner and slipped down to the beach and Davy Jones. "Why, darn it all!" sald Davy, a f minutes Inter, — "You abouldn‘t bav told hbo that. Your father was th eld guy who wouldn‘t give me chance t" And Lotta sat bick against an u turned bort in amnzement. | "Mean old thing!" she anld, disrerpectfully, with visions in her young mind of puttin it over on ber father.. Then she lean: ed her slim length agatust Davy Jones, with one hand curled belind his neck -and If you‘ve ever had anyone you loved standing as Lotta was, begging to be kissed, you probably know Just whine Jones did about it. "Since the very first day, Davy dear, I‘ve been wanting you to kiss me,* she wan saying, ms the glow of Old H. P‘® cigar came around the corner of the bonthouse. For a moment he stopped and watched the two who ®tood so close toxether there, his duughter and Duyy Jones-then he witked over and faced them grimly, "I suppose you‘ll be wanting your ald Job tinck again," sald H. P. Riggs to the startled Mr. Jonet. "When a a a doesn‘t he? But the two of you can‘t live on thirty-five a week," "Lotta says we ean," griuned Jones, bugging that willing young woman fust a bit closer-and then be bluffed a it. te. | "However, we woa‘t have to. Im starting with Rogers, Wyman & Co, the first of September at $8,500 a year,." Whereupon Lotta agueesed bls arm and eyed ber father bostilely. Ra a moment H. P. Riggs withstood that glance and then he extended bis hand with a grin. f "On the contrary, Dave," he sald at. most genially, "you‘re starting with H, , P. Riggs & Co. at $6,000-and eventual / I7 a-a rartnership." And then Lotta graciously trate ferred one of Davy Jones‘ ktsaes to her father and back again. meaSERIOUSLY ILL Mre. Robert C.
