SHARP AWARDED I PIER CONTRACT WORK STARTED THIS WEEK ON P COX'S PIER- ASSURED COMPLETION EARLY THIS SEASON. STORES MUCH IN DEMAND Sherman <S. Sharp, contractor of this city, was awarded the contract e for the construction of Cox's Pier and 0 by Hunt's Theatres, lnc-, at|n director's meeting in their general if offices. 1324 Vine street, Philadelphia, Tuesday of this week. |s It is expected that by the time this , e paper is in the hands of its readers, j > I a ntimber of pilings for foundations •• will already have been driven. Mr. j J ! Sharp states that the same zest that , e I was back of the construction of the I Hall in record time will be | c j back of this new pier work and that I it will be completed for occupancy v I this season. r I H. A- Green, of Philadelphia,- will C | be in Cape May during the erection 1 I of this edifice representing the archi- 1 1 jtects. Andrew J.

It is ! thought that now they represent the I" acme of perfection both from c (the standpoint of utility and archi 1 tectural beauty- t ' A novel arcade has been incomor t lated in the completed plans, which I will extend along the front of all the 1 j stores. This will make it possible f (to pass from the pier proper to any 1 of the stores without being exposed ) ] in inclement weather- This will al- c so take the place of unsightly awn- % rings which would otherwise be neces- ( sary for protection from the sun. - The flooring under the arcade, as ( I well "as the pier entrance, will be of , mosaic tile The superstructure of 5 j the arcade will be of ornamental de- , 'sign in keeping with the approved or- j igjnal drawings. i The reader will readily realize that , this structure, when completed, will , | be one of the prides of coast resorts , of the permanency of con- , \ 1 struction gained b" the use of brick ( fronts to the stores, copper cornices;, together With the summery effort ere- . ated by the growing grass plots and j shrubbery in front and" the pergolas , above. j It is understood that practically all 3 the store space has been reserved , through J- E- Taylor & Son, real es- j • late brokers of this city. This fact n proves the contention of local busi- , ness men that the demand for new beach front enterprises in Cape May . is ever present. 1 Mr. J- P- Cox,' while in Cape May j ! the early part of this week, stated, 3 • that the construction work now in , • progress is only a beginning^ of the j "'fulfillment of plans which his com- . ' j.pany has in view for Cape May. Ne- , 'jgotiations are now being made with ' | leading operators of various types of , 'I outdoor amusement devices.

CLUB I HELD MEETING PROGRAM MEETING HELD IN £ HIGH BCHOOL BUILDING. DR POWDERMAKER WAS THE SPEAKBR | The urogram meeting of the Women's Community Club for the month I of A^iril was held on Thursday after- j [noon, the 20th. at tw;o o'clock, in the j I High Sdhool building. £ | The meeting opened with a violin I s 'solo by "Mr- O-'-enheim who is.beinrr : < entertained by Mrs- Fred Tomidcins. j 1 Mr- Onp^iheim rendered first the! "Lullaby, from "Joceiyn, " and gave i 1 Mendelsohn's' "Spring Song," for an 1 1 encore. I i ] This being the month devoted to j 1 Ichjld hygiene by our urogram com- 1 v •nittee, <|ie speaker for the afternoon < 1 ! was Dr. Alice Pawdermaker, State 1 1 ! nutrition specialist from the State jc College. . I It was previouslv requested that 1 1 (this be an open meeting, as the State 1 : nutrition workers have no experi- J 1 jment station in this section and they it that this is a subject of such]( (great interest that it -"viuld reach as < many as possible. ' Dr. Powdermaker in short says:|c ! "They want folks to know what good \ nutrition means, they want women to j 1 to plan meals by planning 1 -l 1 them." She said the simple foods 1 1 that were immediately applicable to 1 1 us were first milk- Nothing takes]! the pla^e of milk, the child grows on milk because milk provides 1 1 the material out of which the bodyjj It is the growing foor each 1 1 child in the home should be provided] I with one quart of milk a dav and 1 1 each adult with one pint a day. She | also said that in time certain 'arts I j of the (ody wear ^>ut and we must I < prortde material for the new parts if 1 ' you warn to keep on the high plane 1 of nhv=ical well being all your life. 1 If you have one quart for each child 1 the home and one Dint of whole ■ milk, skimmed milk or buttermilk a 1 day for each adult, you will find 1 yourself bu;ldin- your meals around 1 milk. You will have more custards, < creamed soups, etc., besides drinking (more milk and as milk is essential as 1 a body builder v-u will have «mod ■ ; ] bone, strong muscle and "ood blood. 1 The second group of foods were 1 fruit-s and vegetables. Fruits dhould, 1 [ eaten- twice every day. Either can- 1 1 ned, djj#d e- fresh, and greens should 1 ; eateh all the year round, even ■ • though they must be canned, at least : five tithes a week. i These keep the machinery moving 1 and tone up the body- Meat is not essential. We don't need it, but we 1 ' it in moderation if you want. ; t Meat, fish and poultry have no es- i ' sential \-irtues- The ener~v for our , ! bodie must come from foods such as ] fat, sugar and stanch. Cereal is our : cheapest form of ener1 We should have at least two vege- 1 table? besides potatoes every day- ( ] And very little fried foods, for they ; ® are made hard by frying and stay in . > the stomach man" hours, thus holdir (the otvc- foods iq the stomach also. ■ '(The - 0 v is a machine with which , you can -'.-J things with apparent im- ; puni' . !>ut sooner or ^ter you pay up for it Dp Powdermaker laid 1 ! treat -tress on the fact that children | ' shoubi not be allowed any coffee or , - tea, as it was absolutely pernicious 1 ! to children, who surely need no rtimu- • | lant ' f any kind. She also said the , norma!, healthy nerson was unusual. - We hro given oretty good machlns ; to star. with, but treat it badly.

CAPE GOD FISHERMEN HERE LANDING IS ! SCENE OF ACTIVITY. FISHERMEN SHIPPING BY TfcUCK TO NEW YORK AND BOSTON V (By E. P. States, Jr.) It was Easter Sunday morning as I strolled onto the new dock at Schel- 1 Landing, meeting Captain of the Gloucester mackerel schooner "Lafavette; Captain Nickerson, of the schooner "Restless," and ! (Captain Murphy, of the schooner ' 'We ley Senate " • - •When I asked the hardy New Eng-j fiehermen if they were going to the cup back to the United | in the International Fishermen's Race, next fail, they al! chor- | used that you can bet your last doland mortgage your house that the (blue noses will not keep the cup an- | other year. I Three beats are now being fitted (out for the Tace. The "Puritan," one and thin-v-eight'Soot over ail, ! out of Gloucester the "May'flower," and the "Yankee," one bun-' (dred and forty-five footers, hailing jout of Boston. ! It is dollars to doughnuts. -said the I deep sea skippers that Marty Welsh j will coach the skippers of the three j in the elimination race so well I that the boat . that is chosen will' be | well versed in the tricks of the Canadians so that the cup will be bnought I back to America. Captain Peeples then became talkaI tive on his fdrtv-two years experi- | ences at sea. He said that the hardert that he had ever seen the wind ! blow was off George's Bank, when it ninety miles per hour. I Captain Peeples said that one of the -Ifunnieat things in all of his experi- ■ j at sea was off the Grand Banks years ago when a big blue sharic i that was easily eighteen feet long, tried to swallow a big piece of ice, thinking it was food- The skipper • said that the big fish would swim up ■ to the ice and sink his teeth into it, I and the ice would roll over and over, I giving the big deen sea fish the time . of his lifeWhen asked about mackerel fishing ; the three captains all agreed that it I one of the biggest gambles in the • world- They -oointed out the fart that 1 one of the two masted wind jammers I. fitted out could not be built for less • than Seventeen thousand dollars withI out nets- Each boat carries from • thirty to fiftv nets. These nets cost] 1 fourteen dollars and fiftv cents each ■ this year, but last vear they cost, : twenty-two dollars. Then the sky>1 re'rs pointed to the fact that each • schooner must carry from four to] • seven- domes, which are built b'- one ] • firm in Massachusetts and these small i " dories that are not over fourteen feet j : will outlive almost anv sea. Two ' men man these little craft, but areseldom lost, but Gaptain Peeples said • that the schooners are sometimes cut • down off George's Bank by transat- ' liners in the heavy fogs of • spring when the ice bergs are coming south. The skippers said that the ice • this year would be very heavy on ac1 count of the severe winter to the - north of the banks. The schooner are operated on a co1 operative basis, forty per cent to the • boats, and six# - per cent to the ' crews. Seven men are usually carried : on the schooners. There are sixty Italian boats and ' eight v American manned craft in Cape May harbor fishing out of the ' The boats go about ninety to one - hundred miles off shore and about I [thirty-five miles south of Winter • Quarter Lightship while fishing out of I Cape May harbor. When the- leave | I here their. next point is Sea Girt, and] - 1 then Newport and Now Bedford- ' Captain Peenle? soid that the Am-| • erican pco-le did net eat enough fish, ' while in the old daws fish was the ■ | staple artie'e of food- Americans eat | 1 seventeen -ounds per capita, while! j "he Japanese eat one hundred pounds] 1 The skippers were all loud in their j ■ praise of the coa.-t guard service j ' ] along the coast and said that when ' I they learned* that Captain J- J. Hut- j son. of the coast guard cutter Kicka- • ; roe, had h»en stationed at Cape May. j | they sent up a loud cheer when the , • I news 'eachod Gloucester. Captain Hut son is the idol of fishermen both -jon the Atlantic and Pacific coast, and r is the hero of the wreck of a cutter 1 in the ice off Alaska some years ago_ • I Many thrilling experiences were ' ] told by the skippers about fishing- ' They catch jn their nets anything ^ I from porpoise? to sword fish. This. • I they sav, is the most thrilling, with ' ] the exception of keeping out of the way of big whales in the little dories I off the Grand Banks off New Found- • | land when the" are fi«hir«r for cod in( I winter. Captain Peeples said that he had fished on the Grand Banks and on : George's Bank for codfish when ikwas eleven below zero. In summer time and. at this season of the year each one of the fishing • boats carry about five tons of ice and ' as soon as the mackerel are caught ' the- are packed in it. Captain Peebles said that the boats ' go out after mackerel at night because in daylight the mackerel could not be seen at any distance, but at night a shoal of fish would make the - sea look like silver because of the , phosphorus of the fishWhen asked if any of the men in = the fleet made money enough to retire. Captain Peeples pointed to -the

ARBOD DflYIS SETIOD 1912HARDING HAS PROCLAIMED APRIL 22 AS A GOLi DEN ANNIVERSARY OF ARBOR DAY Officers of public instruction and of civic and commercial organiza- ] tions were urged by the president "to unite in thought and action for the 1 preservation of our common heritage - by planning such educational and instructive exercises as shall bring be- " I fore the people the disastrous effects I of the present waste by forest fires • and the need of individual and col- - lertive efforts to conserve the forests ( and increase our tree growth for or- * nament and useArbor Day was first observed in 1 Nebraska in 1872 as a tree planting } movement, for Nebraska in those days was almost a treeless state. The planting feature has never been .the most important one in New Jersey, , aowever, tor nearly half the State is naturally forest land- The greater , emphasis here is placed upon the care ( and development of what nature has > already so generously Provided. j "A complete Arbor Day program „ in New Jersey," said C. P. WElber. I State Firewarden, "should emphasize t the dependence of evety ia dividual upon the products of the forest, up- . on the wisdom of growing these pro- . ducts near at home, as we may, in- . stead of payin". as New Jersey does, j $5,000,000 yearly for freight alone on > timber from the rapidly exhausting supplies of the south and west; upon , the necessity for keeping the woodI lands, if we are to have them as-play-5 grounds and as the home for the mul- . titudes of birds, animals and plants , which only thrive where there is for- ' est- * "Let Arbor Day be a day for plant- } ing trees where they are needed, along highways, streets, in public !' grounds and school properties, pro- ^ vided that the trees are carefully " tended after they are planted, but also make Arbor Day a time when our ^ dependence on the woodlands is pointed out- And for New Jersey, let it t also teach the lesson that we have the forest, but that it needs protec- ^ tion; that when protected it needs de- • velopment and improvement and that • ~ both of these things are possible and . j profitable and essential for the jyel- , 1 fare of the State and of its citizens." CATHERINE S. LEINER d I Miss Catherine S. Leaner, aged 58 e years, died at the Hahnemann Hos1 pital on Wednesday morning, where tjshe had been a patient sufferer for n the part six months- She was a e - native of Germany, bavin® lived in i this country about forty-three yearst Miss Leiner was a member of the - Methodist church, this city, and a f lady highly respected and much esz teemed b- all who knew her.

In (several cases the- said they could obr tain liquor right on the docks where e (they went into port but it was a rare n thing to see one of the fishermen - ] drunk- Captain Peeples avered that - if it was put up to a vote of the men '. of rum or no rum in the court! ry that eithe fishermen would vote against it. n The largest catch of fish in the h mackerel fleet was -fifteen thousand ■I I mackerel caught' by. the schooner Lar i fayette. Captain Peeples, last year off Cape Ma". All of the cantains <■ agteed that the outlook for this r- year's catch looked very bright, and ? were loud in their praise • of Cape ; May harbor- The skippers all said h they were goin® to use their influence t- to have the entrance at Cold Soring s dredged to a de9»th of thirty feet so - thpt big steamers could get into Cape n | May. as they say it is the finest hare bor from Portland to Charleston, S.C. n When asked if the foreigners in the s fleet would eventuall- drive the Americans off the sea, Captain Peeples i said that it would never come sfnd r that American fishermen in times of 1 peril, were much the best, as thev t never lost their heads. This has been proven time and again. Captain s Peebles paid high tribute to Jim Con- - nelly, the famous story writer, sa"i ing that his stories were true to the t life of the Cape Cod fishermen. (? A great many of the captains and crews of the fleet are members of church and are lonein- for the time i for a rest on shore. This was brought - out when it was mentioned that the s day was Easter.
