AUTOS AND I RAILROADS BOTH NEEDED 9 • 3 On all tides you see the extension of the automobile truck and the automobile passenger car- Men with small capital ajy everywhere buying d trucks to carry light freight and packages between city and town and 3 between towns. f All over the United States, comfortable automobile passenger cars e are conveying people between town '- oheaper thap the railroad doesit and pretty nearly as fast as the local aci commodatian trains, r Here and there railroads are ab- - andoning locomotive-hauled passenger trains on branch lines and carrye ing the people in large truck cars- > Ail this is an indication of the way things are going in transportation. It is the way the railroads themselves fc began spreading ovey the land 75 to 85 yeacs ago. f How seriously is the expansion of ! the automobile in transportation go- - ing to injure the railroads? It isn't - railroad men were much alarmed, but they are getting over it. I and heavy freight are const- ■ antly increasing in America. With . good management passenger and ' > freight traffic can be made very ' profitable to the railroads no matter j ' much light freight and packages . carried by autoes. "Hie competition of the automobile is to wake the 1 turn ui mc auiwnwiie is io waxe rne

J. Senate 'k ,'t Ertabllslrn ent ami opejation of a ' x tarry for vehicles and passengers be- 11 « tween Cape May Point or vicinity,' i_ and Lewes, Del-, is authorized in a'! bill introduced Monday by Senator'' II Bright, of Oape May. The measure" It was" drafted by the Attorney General 1 is as an amendment to the act of last s |. year which prevented the establhh- < d ment of the ferry provided for in the 1 earlier measure- 1 d Senator Bright pointed out it 1 ., would provide a connecting link be- ' tween the S'ate highway system of 1 r New Jersey terminating at Cape May ? f Point and the concrete roads of Del- ' aware, which in turn connect through ' . Maryland, Washington and Virginia a e with the main arteries of highway, 3 . travel to the south. The volume of J this travel, both originating in New * - Jersey and outside, Senator Bright K r said, amply justified the compara- ^ ; lively smaH outlay necessary to es- 0 taWish and maintain the ferry. In addition to obtaining the neces- d , sary land and building docks, the ^ . Bright brH empowers the Highway P Commission to acquire a boat or a , boats for ferry purposes.

EX-SHERIFF MILLER HURT I __AT FIRE n WILD WOT) D FJRE DEl'AHTment collides with h ROBERT MiLLER AT THE GOrfHEN FI RE, BRE A K . S< I . d 'COLLAR BONE AND SE-, d VERELY BRUISING BODY I On Thursday evening, while 1 s some young people were on their ^ way home from 8kating a fire was , a discovered in the general store oc- ■ cupied by Nelson k Smith. The I fire companies of Cape May Court ' House and Wild wood were called to the scene. While the two fire companies were responding to the < alarm an accident occurred. Mr. Robert Miller, who is a member of the Oape May Court House fire < , department, was run over bv the , engine of the Wildwood depart- 1 ment. Miller was struck hard 1 f enough to throw him 20 feet, land- < ing him on a fellow fireman. Walt ter Hurrell. thereby easing his fall * , but rendering Hurrell senseless. PONDS AND STOCKS ^ One of the querest things in big < ( buaness is that when a railroad ar- , rives at the height of efficiency in serving its patrons, the stock market t , begins to look at St with suspicion, v ' its service reaches that point, v great numbers of oomon people— es- "I pecaelly women— begin to buy its '

1 stocks and bonds, buying on its fine reputation. The stock market's favorite caution 1 to its friends is not to buy stock in a : railroad that serves perfectly and . which has, therefore, a great number of stock holders. Why? , The speculator who must be a i great student of everything pretain- j ing to stocks" and must intimately , know all stock companies and the . | histories of stocks, explains the para- 1 r(dox in this way: When it beooms pos- I ,'sfcle for people of no wealth to buv .'stocks, it means that the insiders of 1 , ! wealth are getting out- When they are getting cut, it is either because s something is beginning to go wrong or because the stock is believed to be 1 at its topmost point. As a matter of the}- allege, history shows that - pratioally always something is brewing- It vves so with the great Rock 1 Island road, the great New Haven or twice with the B. & 0-, and C (in many other lesesr instances. I People wishing to invest small I amounts of money — their savings — should always beware of "stocks." I New Havens 510 shares selling at'(| *185 for years were' looked upon >s ' 3 good as gold. In a few short years they sold down to $15, and thousnds of people suffered. If your savings are only a few hun- J or even a few thousands, buy F bonds. They are a mortgage on G property and collectable. You are L creditor. Stocks are not collect- n if you own them you are to all L intents and purposes a debtor- But j

. ev«n in the case of bonds, buy care- ! fully.- j, | ■■ ■ j. ENGAGEMENT j] Henry C. Thc-nraton announces the J engagement o yfl? daughter, Eleanor ' Hughes, to Mr. Waker Wade. Moon- j ey. of Westfiald, N. J. !
