■ «*RE MAY POINT I Lower Township i» potting cinders P on the back rood lending from the lake Cnpe May. This is n needed im^PBprovement and will be appreciated by the Point people. Ewing and Barley who purchased the bus route from the Borough Comm missioners has purchased a new chassis for one of the busses. They are fortunate in securing a man like Mr. Sutton to operate the line. He is on the job and runs on schedule time. j A. W. Haldman and Capt. Church motored to Philadelphia one day last week. Capt. Phil Dickinson and wife called on friends Sunday. The Borough Commissioners met Tuesday evening with their solicitor, i E. W. Lloyd and approved the budget for 1921. Mr. Charles Dempsey spent Sunday with his family. Mr. Dempsey holds a position in Philadelphia. Horace S. Corson is confined to the house. He is having trouble with his feet and legs. Lake Lily froze over solid Tuesday night. First time this winter. Good skating. i Captain Church of the Coast Gnard Station, is spending a few days at home. The Hook Jetty which is being built by the borough commissioners is mak- > ing sand at a tremendous rate. In some places it has made four feet of sand. It looks as though it would change the beach point seaward four or five hundred feet, which will protect the beach front in that section. The hook jetty is the largest on the Jersey coast It was designed by * Colonel Louis M. Haupt, who has made a life study of the Coast Erasions. The commissioners were fortunate in securing a man of the cali- » ber of Col. Haupt for their advisor in the protection of the beach front. Dr. Bell of Cape May, is engineer in charge Thomas S. Chester is looking after the borough's interest as inspector. It was through the efforts put forth by Mr. Wm. P. M. Braun that this Jetty was constructed. Rev. C. S. Lyons came down on i business trip to the Point Wednesday. James Wilson is working in Philadelphia painting for Mr. Wm. King. The Borough Commissioners sold the other auto truck. We wonder why they are disposing of these trucks them. COLD SPRING Miss Margaret Dyke is spending some time at the Manse. - ' The congregations of tlie Old Brick Church and the Stone Church at Cape May united for worship" Sabbath \ evening at the latter church Rev. Joseph Dyke officiating. The Women's Missionary Society met at the home of Mrs. Brown, Wednesday afternoon." Miss Lina Eldredge was ^Philadelphia visitor during the week. Mrs. H. H.

Installation of officers was the feature of Monday evening's session of the Grange, Past Deputy Trueman Hickman of Green Creek, having charge. A number of the members of the Wildwood Fire Co., of which Mr. i H. L. Foster is a member, were entertained at his home, Thursday evening and treated to a chicken potpie supper of "ye gude wife's" make. After partaking of the tasty I-epast, music and other forms of entertainment were indulged in, until 11:3(1 o'clock, when those present bade their brother and comrade "good night", . thanking him and his worthy helpmate for an evening of splendid enjoyment. A teacher must first of qll be interesting, and what is taught should be tacked on to the element of interest. Did you ever notice how a man instinctively reaches for his roll every, time his wife comes into his office ? What has become of the old-fash-ioned young couple that took pride in owning their own home ? » Beware of the man who butts in with business when the boss is tellin' funny stories — the boss will be work in'- for him. If you have ever met a real live celebrity you will easily understand why the world prefers dead ones.

CAR IAT COOIT HOUSE 1 Miss Emily Bennett is preparing to 1 spend February in Beaufort, N. C, going thence to friends in Alabama. The cold weather seems to be in answer to prayer, there is such re1 jo Icing among those with ponds and " empty ice houses, and with the skaters. And too, to the wood choppers. 6 Mare than the usual woodland is be- • ing bought for clearing and with the ( 3 coyer bringing good prices, even tho labor continues high. Truckers have ! 1 their worry in the long continued 1 1 drought,, those of green cover, whether of weeds or "crops" being hardest ' " hit it thai the growing plants have suffered, the soil dry. Last year at 1 this time the county farm ice houses ' were filled with 6-inch blocks and ' clear as crystal, and from its own pond, and with good skating folio w- ■' ing. This year, until this week the 5 best product in Middle Township was a paper thickness over the chicken 3 dishes. One thing revivals and grange 3 meetings have not been interfered with because the "Aod skating sign ' was out." It is tortl of last winter ' that one preacher held a prayer meeting on the nearby pond and with all 1 on skates. ( 3 In another week the fires will be , started in the ovens of the Elmer j ' bakers which were destroyed by fire . in the early winter. 1 1 Another family, the Mallenkoff s ' ^ on the Gandy place has left the Shore ! 1 ' Road. Not because farming was not ! 1 r profitable but by reason of the failing j ' health of Mr. Mollenkopf from asth- j , ' ma, meant a change to inland as a ' j 1 matter of life or death. The vendue ' on Saturday was well attended, every- 1 3 thing being sold at good prices. 1 The family went on Monday to their own residence in Camden, where John ' is engaged in the ice and coal business. As John leans his heart with ( ' Dorothy Powell he. is likely to return , 1 for week ends and the summer. All , are sorry to lose the family as they were good neighbors*and good farm- 1 3 ers. 1 Thirty-eight members of the Na- ' komis Council No. 57, Daughters of 1 1 Pocohontas of Wildwood, trailed to the J hunting grounds of Silver Arrow { Council of Court House on Tuesday j , evening to witness the installatibn of 1 .

GOOD OLD TIMES ««-pROF. WINDY SPIEL delivered a IT fine lecture last evening," said Mrs. Jamesworthy. "He held up to the pessimist who says the world Isn't getting better, and de■rrihnd conditions as they were a hundred years ago.

Then people traveled on foot or on short Journey was a serious matter: trie lights, and none of the con"It Is true there were no alleged conveniences 1 n those days," replied Jameeftiot roo enn T ,1. 1 nl*

the old times were better than the! present I only wish the old condi- 1 tlons could be restored. A hundred i ago the married man had no: reason to dread the poorhouse. It j was practically Impossible for women 1 to be extravagant then. If they want- ; i ed to blow themselves they had to go , to town, and In order to get to tov.-n j 1 they had to ride In old coaches which ! | weren't as comfortable as a modern I "The woman of a hundred years ago | couldn't lean back In an easy chair j and ordtfr a hundred dollars' worth ot j Junk by phone. If sfie ordered !•> It took the letter three weekto get anywhere .and by the time thgoods arrived they were out of dat- ! and she had to send them back. Ii would be a great blessing If things that way now. "But the modern married woman the softest snap ever Invented Mrs. Jamesworthy. If she happens to too lazy to put on her brass-mount-ed harness and go downtown to do ber shopping, she has that great modern convenience at her elbow. It Isn't to make herself presentable I to do her shopping. She sits down with an old wrapper on. and her topj askew, and her mouth full of | hairpins, and calls up the butcher and and candlestick maker, and orders everything they have In their Joints, and has It charged to her busI "As your sway-backed professor < said, a short Journey was a serious in the old days, and as a resuit people stayed home and attended , to their knitting. If a woman Journeyed nine miles in one of the oldtime coaches she had a backache for three weeks, and so the Idea of going away from home didn't fill her with enthusiasm. But nowadays traveling I a luxury. All a woman has to do j Is to hold up her husband for the fare, : and then the urbane railway people ; do the rest, and make everything so j comfortable for her that she hates the I of ever returning home. And be- ! I of this luxury, women are for- | ever hunting up excuses for a trip j : somewhere. Kersmlth told me the I | other day that his wife traveled three j i hundred miles and back to match a . ribbon, the local stores not having the 1 1 exact shade she wanted. Kersmlth Is j Just about three cubits ahead of the I sheriff, and bis wife knows it. but she wouldn't let a small matter like tlta: interfere with her trip. "In the halcyon days people used to tallow candles and were all the better for It. There was no satisfaction in reading 1>>* a candle, so men didn't j blow in their substance for fool hooks and magazines. The candles kicked ! up such a smell that they were extin- : guished as early as possible, and so j money was wasted. Now we have , the electric light, which Is a great convenience. It Is such a thundering con- : venience. Mrs. Jamesworthy. that It Is ; greasing the road to the poorhouse for innumerable heartsick husbands. The average citizen finds It impossible to convince his wife and daughters and other female relatives that the electric Juice costs money, and so his home Is , illuminated from basement to garret every night. Few women remember to turn off the light after having it turned on. If I drop dead of heart failure one of these days, it will be when looking over the electric light bill. In th« j old days — " j "Oh, bother the old days, and th| I young days, and the inlddle-aged ' days!" cried Mrs. Jamesworthy. That Depends. "You know, my dear fellow, we j really gain by our trials in life." | "That depends on the kind of lawyer you employ." He Started Early.

TOYS I* THE ARCTIC ZONE Eskimo Children no Fend of Them m Are the Little Folks of Other Lands. In Eskimo land the little girts art as fond of playing with dolls as any other children of their sex and age. to the costumes of Eskimo people. Sometimes, says the Philadelphia Ledger. their dOIl bouses are snow huts ' In miniature, provided with tiny kettie, aoapstone lamps and other essen- ; ' tlals. The dolls are cut ont of driftwood usually, this sort of task passing many an idle hour for the father of the family during the long months of the winter night The Eskimos are wonderfully clever carvers to wood and Ivory, the latter material being obtained from walrus tusks. To amuse i the children a whole Noah's ark of animals is thus evolved. Including the polar bear, the seal, the sea lion, the porpoise, the sea otter and various species of whales. T^e animals are a collection quite different from that composing the familiar fanna of our own nurseries. Conspicuous among them, however, are the dog and the reindeer. Mr. and Mrs. Noah appear, with Shero. Ham and Japhet or their equivalents. Some of the dolls turn their heads from side to side Id a lifelike way by the help of a couple of strings wound about the neck and pulled by i a finger passed up beneath the manikin's clothing. Even mechanical toys : are not unknown to the Eskimos. One of them has a whalebone spring. I which, when released, causes an alarming looktog animal to Jump out of Sex and Muscular Strength. Two women graduates of Leland Stanford university. California, have been investigating the comparative muscular strength of men and women. ! They have reached the general con- ! elusion that any difference that exists I in this matter Is not due to sex as such, but to differences In the use of the muscles, brought about by the conventional limitations of activity or by dress. Thus women's back muscles are stronger than men's because their clothes are largely buttoned In the back. Certain of their arm muscles are also stronger, owing to the fact that they do up their hair, and also because the heavy coat sleeves of men limit the freedom of action of these mnscles. On the other hand, the forearm of men Is better developed than that of women, because women wear tight sleeves and do not customarily lift heavy weights. NOT ALWAYS A DANGER SIGN Mistaken Idea that Spitting Blood Invariably Denotes the Presence of Tuberculosis. There Is no need to become alarmed If one spits blood. It is not. ss so many think, a sure sign of consumption. foe the overwhelming majority of tuberculosis patients never have this Symptom, and the blood may come from the larynx, pharynx, teeth, atom--I ach or even the small Intestine. Dr. H. Rablnowltsch of New York points out In the Medical Journal that when we consider the great size o'f the arteries that euterrthe lung and their 1 minute ramification on the surface of the delicate air cells we should not I wonder If blood Is sometimes coughed up from the lungs. Severe coughing or straining may easily break a small branch of one of these arteries. I Dr. Rablnowltsch says the hemorrhage itself Is of slight moment. If It comes from an aneurism, death Is almost Instantaneous : If It comes from a congested area and Is limited. It Is In some ways beneficial by relieving the congested area. It has another good effect — making a recalcitrant patient obey the donor's orders. The treatment Is directed to the cause and not to the hemorrhage. Would Be Still Younger.
