THE LEGION FLOWER THE BLOOD RED POPPY OF FLANDERS FIELD. IN PHRASE AND POETRY STILL 18 EMBLEMATIC OF MUCH IN PAST. PRESENT AND FUTURE. In a 'Very vulgar" little magazine, entitled Captain Billy's Whiz pang appeared the "Poppies," that perhaps best expresses the feelings of the rough-neck" soldier who was "there" ahd is fed up on the air;.maudlings of some ''lucky stiff" in the S.

Despite the sentiment expressed. in the poem, however, the selection of the pappy is we"- If a flower emblematic of kke A. E. F. was to be selected it must -have been the poppv' or. iflarj-uerite, both of which are to • be found, wherever American feet 'red "oyer there." Of the two the blood colored poppy best expresses the mahy things recalled whenever ^Growing- wherever the soil is thick enough over rocks o" it is a weed and a pest to the French peas*antfv. .

In no man's land, in shell hole and 3 crater, between the spiny rows of barbed wire, amid broken gunseven between the . bleaching bones too numerous to "be covered with kindly earth the poppy waved its scarlet cheerful head. To the boys in O. D. it meant many -things both grim and pleasant. It will recall days spent back from **-<- n-,,d. the co'd and cooties back in the leave or rest areas where the poftpy bloomed in vineyards of -luscious grapes, or on the marge of a e -sluggish tranouil river pr even perhaps it wi'l reca'l -the red-cheeked bi-ight-eved companion of them who s like the nopny were ever cheerful no matter what the day» brought forth. .

BOT SCOUTS AT ATLANTIC OTT j Boy Scoots, numbering over 750, 1 togged in their natty uniforms, staged their annual Field Day meet k on Saturday afternoon at the Atlantic City Inlet Park. Twenty-three troops of Atlantic ; ■ and Cumberland counties gave exh. J bitions quite worthy of the attention . they attracted from 4 crowd which , th .need the park. No troops from • Cape May County ^participated. A DAM ■ Turtle Gut Inlet is closed perraa- ' nently if the present new dam will . hold or Is made to hold. One can now walk from the Crest ® extension to Two Mile Beach"; dry- ' shod, several feet above the tide. 1 On the ocean side the sand bars have almost met near the surf line forming he ween them and the few jetty a deep lagoon— a great spot for fishipg, boating aid a general ocean front play gyOUn^. While it is sad to contemplate what might have been had thb roal. really been pushed , across there, are hopes for the future anyway, and it is well too- make good usetof what has been done at so great a cost to reputations, to taxpayers and tempers in general.' We predict that this section of £ Five Mile. Beach will prbve popular with sportsmen and resorters in general who like to play about away form the dressed-up crowds, not to mention the lovers who can stroll the unexplored i>each in uninterrupted bliss- • 1 .' ANTI-TOBACCO FANATICS I 5 The Blue Laws are coming so we'd ' better watch or the goblins will catch us. A fanatic is always in earnest - and anybody who thinks the antiTobacco variety isn't in earnest has | another think due some time soon. In a rich country like the United States, there are folk who will ,pery sist in backing fanatics with real money. When your fanatic has been elevated to a salaried position he or she isn't apt to relinquish the easy Anti-Tobacco workers are organized, and we the intended victims are , not. When you arise some early ' morn and find a fanatical minority ,has amputated your favorite joy . smoke you will "wish you had done something but it will be to late too lock the garage — it will be empty.

Otto Binder, of 1784 Columbia i Avenue, Philadelphia, an oil salesman, lies in a critical condition in Mare's hospital from injuries received in an automobile accident last Friday evening. 1 Binder accompanied by Clarence , Brewer in a Ford runabout was , driving up Surf Avenue and at-. . tempted to pass the Ford touring , car of Mr. -and Mrs. Paul Scyully j while running at a considerable rate. , He misjudged the distance and a I rear 'wheel of each Came together. , The impact overturned completely j Binder's car and he was picked up , unconscious and apparently dead and . rushed to Mace's hospital where Dr. Mace discovered' signs of life- He is * suffering from a fractured skull, concussion of the brain, contused and . lacerated wounds of the face and ear . and internal injuries but shows ani- , matipn today aluibugh little hope is , given ipr recovery. | Brewer was practically unhurt getting off with a bruised shoulder and scratches on his head and hands. Binder's par was almost demolish1 ed but .Scully's is little damaged. The victim was in Wild wood preparing the family's home on Learning Avenue for the summer. BEATS FISH STORY The ValdoSte^Times, . of Brooks Cqpnty, Georgia, gives the following example of Southern exchange: A cracker killed a hog and sold it on the Cjuitmarr market. He wanted to buy 'back a ham from the hog, and when it was weighed out to him a»d charged at the previailng market price, it was found that the hog lacked 35 cents of bringing enough to pay for the ham. Those "carry me back to' Dixie" songs don't mean a thing to us. We're going to stay where they would thrown in the 35 cents and call it square. A FIRE— NO DAMAGE Incoming autoists over the Rio Grande road Monday evening were treated to a display equalling a miniature. , Fourth of July celebration and much speculation .was -rife, as to what was burning in Wildwood. Upon investigation the fire proved to be( nothing more serious than a blazing i dry garbage dump on the west sidte.j
