CITY SPARKLERS j Officer George Learning of the Cit> j Police force presents the best appearance on the street of any of the police. His uniform is always neat and clean ■ ' and he has the bearing of a soldier, > , having served in the Cavalry, service. ! a visitor to the city the, ether day complained to a busineM-tnan of the city, that the Convention Hall was all C locked up .and if one fared to walk out on the Hall Pier and set in the 6un - these balmy warm fall days, it could , . not be done. This is a mistake that s should be immediately rectified by the i City Commissioners.! The visitor - also said that there qras not a bench or place on the boardwalk one eouljl s sit down to rest on from Madison d avenue to between Jackson and Perry streets, which is correct. How can - we expect to have visitors be pleased s with our city if we do not provide a place for one to rest while walking along the ocean front?. Please, Mr. Commissioners place some benches on s the .walk and let people in on the Con1- vention Hall Deck. t annual meeting of s, needlework guild e The Cape May branch of the Need>f lework Guild of America will hold its d first annual display of garments in the High School building, on Tuesday i, evening, November 16th, at eight r. o'clock.

Will the finder of No. 35793 please notify us?" , The finder was Carl Jensen, of Cam- < rose, who shot the duck on the out- , skirts of his town. He noticed the ! and Set the bird aside to be ] ' mounted. He also communicated ' the American Museum. '■ * It is estimated that the distance 1 from New York to Cam rose in an line ' is approximately 2,500 miles.. The 1 theory has been that ducks from the • eastern States flew almost due north, 1 on their spring migration, but the j s finding this pintail so far west may lead to a change in this assumption. nnnn f » „ £. a DDiurn

PILGRIM DESCENDANTS « The New York Sunday Herald printed the following article in their literary section. Dr. Howe's book been hearided "throughout the > States for the reason at its historical value, to those interested in the colonial days. Many ia New Jersey of Pilgrim Descent Reseaches by the Rev. Paul Sturtevant Howe, Ph. have just brought light a lost colony of Mayflower in Cope May County, New Jersey. The surprising feature oi Howe's investigation is that not in Plymouth, Mass., where the Pilgrims landed are there so many descendants as in Cape May county, which was first settled by i whalemen from New England. This* ] settlement was on the Delaware Bay iside of the county and near the historic resort which bears the name of the county. Dr. Howe is a past chaplain-general of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America and is a member of the Pennsylvania Society of Mayflower Descendants, Sons . of the Revolution and other patriotic organizations. His 1 investigation into the Mayflower Descendants in Cape May county was begun two years ago, when he took ' charge of a Protestant Episcopal parish there. To his astonishment, he found that ' in his own Mayflower descent he was ■ distantly related to some of the old - Cape May families, and be soon dis- - covered that he could trace the ancestry of 1,200 persons in the county k„1r f a tko PlloTlTTlK the Pilgrims.

Dr. Howe then decided to prepare and publish a genealogical record, and the book, entitled "Mayflower Descendants in Cape May County," ia ! just going to press. "Some 1,200 living Mayflower -do- . scendents," says Dr. Howe "are in- ) eluded in the list of names in the book and as many more are Included among the grandchildren and children of descendants whose records are notlWnplete through lack of information in 1 the later generations. The g«iealogical works of the Rev. Dr. Daniel 1 L. Hughes, of Bellefonte, Pa., and the s late Major Charles Welsh Edmunds, i of Philadelphia— both of Cape May !. origin — have thrown some light on the Mayflower lines in Cape May county, though neither writer was aware* of Pilgrim descent. This shows how completely was all track lost of the '• Mayflower descendants in the county. "The discover}' of the 'Wast Book' '* of 'Col. John Gorham, written in 1745, ^ brought to light the long forgotten j (Continued on page 5)

the great white way TRAVEL TO HE MAINE BAST BETWEEN ENDS OF THE COUNTY —LOCAL BOARD OF WOMEN VOTERS LORE PBB3IDENT The "great white way" that is eventually to make travel easy between the ends of the county and poer sibly the ends of the state, wfll. with ■ leather willing, be open to the Stone ' Harbor Boulevard junction within a ■ fortnight. The middle aectfon ia 1 completed thus far and now has only ) a portion to the north of Hotnney ' Place under cover. The Paver on the - east side is fast catching up with this. g ' The hope is that it shall be open ■ ' , before bad weather makes the woods ' portion of the detour imposAble. This ' detour, all a*e-hgreed has been the ^ most trying of *all. The stretch across the "gravel piU" was not so 1 bad but, around the sge of the Mt. 5 Airy farm and over the abandoned ; trail— on old maps as Springer's Road r — the ruts were narrow and deep and 1 the clearing so narrow that passing 8 was impossible except in spots, and counted as impossible for loaded j" trucks and tank wagons. Heavy traffic had the still wider detour over the west side roads. To residents of the shore road to the 1 north of the boulevard this was relief j from dust and rumble, for which they were grateful. The school auto from the north didnt attempt either detour 1 but "unloaded and took on" at the 7 Boulevard corner, giving the pupils a Duuiwaiu wiik4i 6" r-i — - —

hikeof about a half mile, and none the worse for the exercise in the open. The only bid at the Master's Sale for the terminal- section of thje Stone Harbor railroad was $500.00, in the name of James B. Lichtenberger,. attorney for the South Jersey Realty Company and kindred interests, and ; was accepted. The sale was only of the portion to the west of the main Shore Road and the owners of the whole now have it free from incurp- ' b ranee, and which seems to be the first real promi^ of the resumption ' of traffic. The plaintiff in the sale ! was the Colonial Trust Company, aa(i ' with the claim of about $38,000 with fees, costs, taxes and interest. The local board of the State League ( of Women Voters has lost its presi7 dent in the removal of Mrs. Monroe e Brown to a new home in Pasadena, Cal. But this was expected and the , possibility provided for in making : Mrs. Alfred Cooper the first vice-pres- '' ident, thus giving Mrs. Brown an honD or to take away with her and assuring fof the position the most effi- . cient, Mrs. Alfred Cooper, in making cienL, ax id. —

her first vice-president. At the meeting last Thursday Mrs. Cooper was chairman and Mrs. A. N. Wood director general, Mrs. Roorback and Mrs. Robert Miller, secretaries. The business of the session was to arrange for the after-election series. This it was agreed should be of eight lectures each in charge of a committee of three. Each should have an authority on the topic of the speaker. The first of these is to be'£he^8th inst. and upon Duty and with Mrs. Bessie Ulrich. Chairman. The suggestion of a member of the need of practical work in the consideration of needed legislation which should emanate from or be for the county's interests and in which the local board might be to a purpose resulted in the appointment of a special committee and with its first purpose to report upon the proposed bill for Congress being prepared by the Coast Guard preacher, Rev. Dr. and, self appointed chaplain and mission worker of the Coast Guard Stations and lights for many, many years. This bill is for authorizing oi , the appointment of chaplains for this I section of the National defense, and the only one without it. A bill to this end was before the Congress some ten years and was lost in Committee because of its seeming unimportance; but it is believed with women voters back of it, and there is the assurance they will be, the outcome will be different Dr. Cake is a believer ia the potency of prayer and has e life full of evidence to show for it and he is praying for this measure.
