> SEEK GOLD ON JEMSST COAST Ever drop a ring or coin in the sand nt one of the beeches thnt" dot the Jersey shore? It was just like hunting thnt well-known needle in a haystack, only more so. Probably gave up the iden of finding it after fruitless search, with Hie notion the lost article was gone for ever and aye. Co n't you believe it. Beachcombing literally spearbng, is one of the many ways in which the native sons ^ at our summer resorts manage to make a living from the city visitor. Beachcombing is an art, for the expert manages to sift a minimum of Sand with the greatest yield possible. Armed with a gravel screen, not unlike that used by mason's helper.-., and a shovel, a husky citizen of a summer resort town can t^ss^Snore sand through the wire meshes of his screen than seems possiblte for the small reward his efforts bring him. Where there is'a.boaPUwaHc, the pay streaks seem to be along the outer edge, where folks lean over the rail, and along the building line, under store and theatre entrances. Both these veins yield copper and silver and occasionally bits of gold in the form of jewelry, tfhe Liner "vein calls for hard labor. The beachcomber n.ust work on hands and knees j . because of the small space between ' the piling and the under part of the walk. For this his reward is sometimes greater. 'No claims -are staked on these dry wash mines of New Jersey. All the beachcomber needs is time and en- , ergy. The lure of prospecting for! gold in the West never held more joy than that which comes when the chink of a quarter or half dollar is heard against the meshes of the screen. Here is tangible proof of success, already minted. One beachcomber, employed as a night watchman in an officp building at one of New Jersey's coast towns, puts in several hQurs each morning ! at his sand lode mine. His weekly pan, putting it properly, runs as high ! as $10.50 in coins, with rings, false] teeth and brooches sotaetimes adding j to thg total. One set of false teeth he sold for $15, and he has several signet rings for sale at present. • His biggest find, and one in which he takes the most pride, is the recovof a diamond-st39ded platinum | bar pin belonging to a well-known \ musical comedy star. She lort in en- , tering the theatre lobby, and the ; beachcomber found it in the sand be- , neath the boardwalk. A local fortune t tdller, seeking to capitalize on. the pnbilicity, advertised that the beach- \ -comber wah successful because of the f fortune teller's advice, which was un- r true, and added to the roll of bills m j the beachcomber's pocket by way of a „ salve for injured feelings.— Newark s Hie combing on the Cape May is done after heavy winds when nature uncovers the valuables and leaves them standing on tiny mounds. s

BK DRAMATIC IESXTTAL f Coming to Walnut Theatre, Phila- * delphia. Starting Monday, February e 21st. 8 America's leading player, Guy J Bates Post. The most celebrated play r of the decade— "The Masquerader" ® comprises a combination never before equalled in theatricals, is coming to "this section. This much talked about e season's best offering — with the orige inal cast and production, revolving s stages, triple electrical equipment, ® thematic music, and nine ponderous, ' pu:-atjng scenes,' is commented on by •' ' the leading critic of Boston to the ex- 1 tent of two columns. Among other , '• oui-.gistic comments he says: "Guy 1 Bates Post kept a .capacity audience ' thrilled in response to the clever un1 folding of the story of the substitu3 tion of John Loder for his coudin, * the dissolute John Chilcote, at a time 3 when England stood sorely in need of the brilliant statesman who Shad be3 come a hopeless drug-addict. The | dual role of Mr. Post presents the best character study ever seen on a Boston sjage. Where Mansfield, in 1 his transition of Jekyll and -Hyde, 3 used various accessories to complete the illusion, Mr. Post relies entirely 1 upon his play of facial ' expression, ' manner, bearing and intonation. 'I "His contrasts between' the fine J controlled Loder and the briHiant weakling Chilcote, were wonderful , examples of detailed study of the two I men. Nothing is lacking. Even Chil- ' cote's inability to control the muscles . of his facer the indeterminate relaxed _ ! mouth, the wavering hands, all were indications of the breaking down through the use of morphia ofj what J had been a most brilliant mind. The sudden transitions from one personality. to the other must be severely taxing, for Mr. Post is scarcely absent from the stage throughout .the entire play. He is our most remarkable actor. Nothing better in stage effects has been seen in Boston, and the trice with which the ponderous scenes were transposed bespeaks much for the manner of modern j stage-craft as manipulated by that mailer Richard Walton Tully." LET GO THE ANCHOR A curate prided himself on his oratorical powers. He was describing the downward path of the sinner and using the metaphor of a ship drifting and going to pieces on the rocks. A sailor in- the audience was deeply interested. "The waves dash over her!" belthe orator. "Her sails are split! Her yards are gone! Her masts are shivered. Her helm is useless! She is driving ashore! There seems to be no' hope! Can nothing save her?" The sailor rose in his seat, his eyes wide with excitement. "Let go ,the anchor! ye lubber!" he shouted.

For this reason, farm- ' era need plenty of room — the one-room r condensed apartment would be otjl of ■ place In the country. A large falhily culls for a large home and plenty of • bedrooms — -the surrounding farm gives ; the children all the playground they [ need. In the final analysis some one ( has to raise large families to offset the decreasing birth rate In the cities due malply to congested conditions, and the | farmer assumes the burden. He has I the compensating feature, however, of s getting his children's help when they i have grown up. In the face of the ex- ; Istlng shortage In fnrro. help , this fnc- , tor becomes tremendously important. In order to keep his sons on the farm after they have grown to manhood one of the iirat things he should do is to | make home life and surroundings as i attractive as that of the cities. | For this reason he should build a > substantial, modem home. In this | home he should install as many of the i latest conveniences and comforts as his i means will permit He should build this home so that It will be attractive t both Inside and out In the case of the farm home shown I here with floor plans, that result has < been foremost In the mind nf the hnlld. t

There Is no town ordinance against i arguing any day in the week, is there?" " ■'Nope! - But if they argue now they won't get any particular attention, b'cuz everybody in town Is tired of their clack.
