NANCY WYNNE'S MENTAL FOG In reading the Evening Ledger several nights ago,' we noticed an arti<le purporting to be the work of one Nancy Wynne. It ran this way: -Who would have believed ten Tears ago that Cape May would comeback as it has." Then this Wynee person went on to say that sherwas amazed at the number of c°ttages ope neti, and the crowd on the ^beach- one even saw bathers! Nan, you may be assured that Cape May has NOT COME BACK. Wfhav* ALWAYS b«n THERE. Every year for the past ten years, during which time you evidently failed to Visit us, we have had cottages epen, crowds on the beach, and— yes, even bathers! We venture to say that you were in a mental fog when you wrote your -dittle piece. Read our city advertising. Note particularly such phrases as "Here, the visitors is not merely one of the eummer folks' 'but a member of a great rollicking family — ," and "Bathing from Protected Beaches " . . • I>id vou ever hear anything so absurd as "rollicking family" apgjied to 4u r cottage colony? Do we want a "rollicking family resort?" WE DO NOT! ATLANTIC CITY ADVERTISING Protected beaches. It may mean anything,. But what doe* it bring to your mind? Asbury Park, with its dangerous surf roped in for safety. LIFELINES! Now connect this ridiculous advertising with an ATLANTIC CITY ad: vertising agency.

I am syil a patient in the U. S. P. H. Hospital, No 42 Perryville, Maryland. : The. talk among lots of the Maryland people, which I have talked with is that they expect to take a trip to Cool Cape May this summer. They were a!| in hopes th? Ferry would be running this jummc: ..from Lewes to Cape Ma>'. I noticed one of our road signs on the main highway, near thg HaVre 'de Grace Bridge. It" look's like-a big summer for Cape May. The heat in Maryland is something aWil. There " . is "no place' like Cape -May after all. Remember me to all the boys.

THE CLE6G HENDEE CASE THE CA8E ARISING FROM THE r ARREST OF OFFICER CLEGG ■ BY MAYOR WILLIAM C. HEN- 1 1 DEE - WAS HEARD AT CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE JUDGE HENRY H. ELDREDGE. Wild'-vtmd, June 30, 1921. , Attorney Lloy* secured the release ; r of Mr. Clegg on points of law which i stipulated that when art arrest is - made for disorderly conduct the - County Clerk must be notified withh>) ten days by the Justice ntalgng the committment. This it appears was » not done according to Mr. Hendee's own statements he did not know the - law on the cAse. Attorney Lloyd - further called the attehtion of the b Court to the fact That when the Jus- : tice fails to make the reports to the 3 CouVity Clerk he himself becomes ■ guilty of the charge for which he j made the committmen}When the papers in the case were 9 called for and Solicitor Hand was asked what, he knew of the case, 'it 1 was disclosed that the Mayor had failed to consult the Solicitor and had , left him entirely ignorant of the - facts in the matter. 3 The .only records in the case that ' could be produced was the docket in . the hand® of City Clerk Winterburn r which he had in his possession when called upon. - Judge Eldredge suggested that a j "Truce" be called until after thej. [ election on July 12th and stated tha^* he was aware that this case had gris- • en from political feeling and further i " that he. The .Judge, was fully awprel J of "the bitterness of the fight.in this ) city. Solicitor Hand agreed | with the ; .Court that the entire affair has been irregular. Mr- Hendee upon leavingUhe room paused at the reporter's table and J requested that they not publish a 3 statement to the effect that he had . been reprimanded by the Judge as had been done before upon the same | case. If not reprimanded, Mr. Hendee was certainly not complimented , , upon his action.
