Communications will not be eonMdered unless signed. Secretary of the Navy Denby has Issued an order transferring enal burning battleships from the Pacific to tie Atlantic Flget, and oil burners ffom the Atlantic to the Pacific., The effect of the change will be to combine in each fleet all vessels of the same type of fuel consumption. In addition to that manifest advantage it will bring the coal hurners nearer to their source of supply and the same is true of the oil burners. Creator economy and efficiency in operation are sure to follow the reorganiz- ' Since March 6th Attorney General Dougherty has dropped 46 special attorneys and 70 special agents from the Depa^ment of Justice. The reform has brought a saving to the De- ' partment of about $500,000 a year. As an evidence of the extravagance be Xjueathed to Mr. Dougherty by his predecessor in office, he cites * the case of one special attorney who was carried on "the Government payroll -at an annual salary of $24,000. ■ AIR YOUR OPINIONS The STAR A WAVE invites a discussion of the question in its columns, "WHETHER OR NOT CAPE MAY COUNTY NEEDS A PURCHASING AGENT." The Grand Jury of the April Term has recommended that the ofice be dispensed with. A cumber of citizens think that it is a good thing, and claim that the bounty agent has saved enough since incumbency to pay his salary. If you have any opinions on this question, send them in, signed.

ATLANTIC CITY BUSY AGAIN We have always known that Atlantic City's hostility to Cape May would atop at nothing but the recent exploit of the Atlantic City "Press" is conclusive evidence of this and proof also, oi the. fact tiiat old Ananias gained his renOwn as the champeeb liar of the world before Atlantic City got into action. They have a big flight of mosqquitoes at Atlantic City, have them every year- now and always and the residents and visitors to this Babylon are kept jumping and smacking and dapping so that_they "Wely have time to keep filled up on the various liquids which they affect in defiance of the constitution of the United States. Cons«|uently, even the daily distortion of the temperature records has been Unavailing to keep the residents from getting hot, "bilin" hot in fact, and they blame, it all on Cape May, Cape May, still on the map, cool1 and comfortable and without mosqiRtoes even after fifty years of systematic Atlantic City misrepresentation in print and out of print. These million candle power Ananiases and others of the Atlantic City breed of asses have the everlasting nerve to say that it is "Cape May Mosquitoes" an ani(nal which doesr.'i exist, which is troubling them and the wind from the northwest most of the time and all sources for the propagation of mosquitoes in Cape May County, within twenty miles of Atlantic City, thoroughly drained under the guidance of our expert Coynty Mosquito Commission and the pest gone to mosquito heaven. ' The undrained hundred or so sqhftre miles of meadows in and around Atlantic City are the real mosquito danger to a large section of the coast when the wind is from the north'ard and east'ard to blow them - down to the South'ard." Please note that it would take a south or suuth west wind to blow them north from ^any point south of Atlantic City, even if such a thing were possible. However, we are perfectly- happy over \he matter. The million, candie power Ananias admits that Cape May is not afflicted with the pests and visitors to Atlantic City' sbou.d prolong their lives ai d insure their happiness by removing with all speiJ to Cape May. Eventually they will do Jt— why not row?

Cape May's block was up in the comer, entirely surrounded by larger and better ads- It wa6 striki- ingly decorated with a fat, pudgy* I- bathing girl, who reclined gracelesslj E beneath the protecting cover of a :• specimen of the species 6unshade y (long since extinct), d Now it Is well known to everybody ^ that the purpose of advertising is to a paint a desirable and true picture of y that which is offered to the public, i- The ad we saw painted a picture that t was neither desirable nor true. If d the picture it did paint had not been II so detrimental to Cape May, it would 0 have been a huge joke, though a rathn er expensive one. g The first point that It advertised is that at Cape May, the visitor is not merely one of the summer colony, bul a member of a great rollicking faro ily1. What ignorance, or what delib- '• erate design caused the ad writer to d select the term that most flagrantly c" misrepresents the character of Cape s May Summer colony and residents f alike have no doubt laughed long and ■s loud over this statement It IS i-in* b ny; but in a sad sort of a way. "Roly licking family resorts" are numerous on the coast; . readers can think of many of them. But forbid that Cape y May should surrender its distinction, i" built up by years of more truthful, e skillful and beneficial advertising 3 forbid that Gape May should rever.-e e its policy successfully maintained for s so manx years, and in one false but e damaging advertising campaign, ford sake all of its traditions and become >' classed with the "rollicking family," s Shoebox Excursion type of resort. "" Another point advertised was Cape n May's "protected beaches." Cape May e does not have protected beaches. It *' has a natural, beach, the best in the ' world, and absoliiley safe without protection. Now protected beach e ; 1 may mean anything. It may mean life guards, but it doesn't because every resort of any consequence has y a force of life guards. But whatK ever it might mean,, this is what it y suggests. A oeach that requires ar- ' tificial protection. LIFE LINES, and all the other devices employed by ' less fortunate resorts with dangerous precipitate beaches. But this Is bow y we advertise our famous beach, the ■* best and s if est in th$ world. "Pro:r tected beach" indeed. Now in the ' comer of this ridiculous, misleading and detrimental advertisement, you • will see the trade mark of an ATe LANTrC CltY ADVERTIJING l' AGENCY. 0 Does the matter become any clear ,e er? ie We are a newspaper. Do you 11 think that we would hire another * rival newspaper to advertise the merits of our publication? You a-e * a business man, a professional mar., a worker. Would you let your rival in your occupation blow your horn * for you? -Would you trust him to do " it; y NO YOU WOULD NOT! Then why do you think Cape May ' trusts its rival to blow Cape May's ' horn. 0 We charge no malice nor design to 0 those who hoodie Cape May's adver-

WILDWOOD COMMISSIONERS } RECALLED; NEW MEN ELECTED | That which has been said to be '*the impossible"* like a frightening / ! shr-dow faded and retreated into the very . possible on Tuesday, July 12th, ( wheq C.e Mayor and -the remaining commissioner of the city were recalled c • an-.l a former co:nmissionef failed to return to the coveted Mayor's chair. « Tired and disgusted with the -conditions reigning at CityHhU the people C demanded the recall of the incumbents and an opportunity to select their , " own men for the directors of the City's destinies. W. Courtright Smith was t ; the man selected to fill the highest office and to succeed Mayor William C- ff . Hcndee. J t Ralph L. Carll, a Wildwood boy and clean'cut business man was -select- * t eti„ as Mr/Smith's running mate to succeed Commissioner of Finance OUver, * Bright J : Alfred Taylor, successful business man who has been identified \with > 1 the activities of the island for years, independently running was accepted I 5 by tha people as meeting every requirement that they had in Inind and Mr. r Taylor went on their ticket to fill the office left vacant by former commis-' J sioner F. E. Smith. £ Wildwood "has been the battle ground for many interesting political bat- } • ties but never was a battle waged like this one. Mothers with babes in J ! their arras or in their cars outside canvassed every house in the city to plead - for clean government and support to elect their candidates which they felt , ' sure will give that government to the city, so that "when our «hildreto are / 1 growing up in this city they shall have proper environment-" J Already tired with the mess of the city's affairs in general the voters *J quickly responded to the plea that was irresistable and rose to the occasion. ] Every play and turn that had ever been successful in the political game in S years past was brought into action without avail by- the Old Regime. They £ were fighting a* new force combined with tlje forces over which they had * always been successful before. The new force not be reached. The J women would not be denied. When the American woman wants something, 3 Tthe legend, she always gets it, and so it wfls. j Early in the "day the voting places were kept busy — a Significant fact ^ as an early vote usually means a change of sentiment or a determined body S of voters who are not waiting to be "talked to." And more significant when i it is realftffed that this election came in the busy season for most of the d E voters. '' , , From early morning until the polls closed the fight was silent, grim and J ' unrelaxing. Came seven oVdock and the close of the pojls and at every poll- 1 1 ing place an interested— yes anxious— group-»-of each side of the fight- i ' Would they do it? Had the fight been won or lost? I Then the partiM lists began to seep out and the trend was at once ap- ? 1 parent— The old regime was passing, then — the final returns that were C ' even beyond the hopes of the people. The returns were aS follows: , d \ ; WILLIAM C. HENDEE, For Recall ; 1 »lst W. 2nd W. 8rd W.

And the city stood bv, > • proud of the appearance these three new managers of the city presented. i ' The people feel throughout the city that these men have, a big task be- I fore them. A task made doubly hard by the condition of the city's affairs i ? at the present time. At the same time the people are backing these men to | 1 fulfill the requirements and are aware that they do not have the wonderful ? ' "lamp of Aladdin to rub and wish the many, things done and have it so., The j 1 people realize it. will take months at least to clear up the mess that has » ^ been accumulating for years, but they are confident IT WILL BE DONE! j 5 The commissioners in an interview were high in their praise of the ; Loyal Citizens and said: "The commissioner? appreciate the loyal support J ' given by the Loyal Citizens of Wildwood." .
