He de-j fined in brief, zoning as the proper! enntroi of use and occupancy of resi. I It latcaine very evident as he pro-1 -reeded, that Mr. I'earl had familiarized himself thoroughly with the principle., of city planting, and zoning as ; a component part, and that, moreover,' 'a- had investigated to considerable! . -.te nt, how far Ocean City, up until ! the present time, had suffered through; the lack of sufficient legal authority ; and machinery to control the, creation of buildings. He cited examples, several scattered; ,..ver tile city, where the erection of a garage adjoining a* private resilience, j and the erection of a building for busipurposes in the heart of -a resi-; dental district, had considerably affected injuriously the property values He cited instances also of residences,] io,ek built and equipped with every •>■1.-1 convenience, which were practical!: unsalable at proper value, be- ; rains-. the prospective buyer, in the ab- ! cure of an ordinance to the effect,! could Is- given no assurance that noth-i it. the neighborhood woul.l ho built, lit h would deprive him of his legiti- ' mate .-bare of light and air, or depreciate the value of his investment. Other members aided in the discisbringing still .further evidence . .i argument in support of the . Particular emphasis was laid upon the. necessity of a thorough ueducational -campaign, before taking any .definite steps in the matter. If an or•iiuanee were passed, it should receeive the uni|ualified support of the majority of the "citizens of the corn- ' i unity. It was necessary that the public, ih general should lie made to see the need of such an ordinance, for the last resort, the people rule.-, ' Ttt the present time the city is practical 1> without any protection against freak building. The restrictions are far incd equate, to induce men of wealth to come into the city, and build homes of a style superior to just an Finally, it was decided that the Young Men's Progressive League, : huuld go on record endorsing the prois. al of zoning the city, and that a communication to that effect should I,' sent to the Board of Commisli transpired thai all prcpurulions for 1-adies night to lie held May 1st, • i>- complete. \ gorgeous time is promised, and an elaborate program of cntertalnImi t outlined.

The demonstration will lie given In an udjoining room, so that all attending the Latliea' night festivities, may en joy the advantages of both. The attention of the league was directed to the unsatisfactory condl-

turn of the Weatherby road, from the J county line seawards. The Cumber- . land section of the road Was. above criticism, whereas, from Uie county " line, to the place familiarly known as 1 the Cranberry- Farm, the road is be- ' coming impassable, bearing with its .•numerous holes and ruts a close re- , semblance to a Switchback track. 5 The necessity of keeping the road in a good condition is of supreme importance to Cape May County, forming as it does the main route to and from its seaside resorts. Cape May e County depends almost exclusively upt- on the tourist. The tourist travels e where the roads are at leas^frec from c spine dislocating jars, and tire splity | ting nits. , t The League passed a resolution, in- - structing the secretary- to write to the , n Cape May County Freeholders, urg- . ing upon theni the necessity- of im- ; i- .mediate improvements, before the be- J i- ginning proper of the tourist season. . n The condition of As bury avenue : ;- came under djscussio.i. The fear wa>»! rj expressed, that, at the pr--e.it rate of ' i: progress, the season .von: I he up>n; 1 us, while the main thoroughfare would i- 1 be under excavation and impassable. 1 •- , The league gave instructions to the ' i- i secretary to communicate with the 1 s City Commissioners upon the matter. ' r. Next week will be Clean-up Week. \ e 1 The league went on record pledging il i their heartiest support to the move- ' h ment. Not satisfied with merely the 1 y passing of. a resolution, divers ways 1 n and means were considered, whereby 1 the league could render more practi- 1 d|cal service to the city during the . week.' !-, Finally, it was decided that the ■ i- League should have printed 200 cards, , i- calling the attention of the public to i f- ' their share in the work of cleaning I ts up. and a committee, comprising of William Kautchman and George W. s,j Plaut, were .appointed to secure the , y cards, and have them distributed , :- throughout the city in the most prom- . ;- inent places. j , i- !

MONSTER DEMONSTRATION OF KIWANIAN SPIRIT-CHARTER PRESENTATION NIGHT MEMORABLE EVENT-GREAT SCENE OF ENTHUSIASM, GENIUS, ART, BEAUTY Big Chiefs Deliver Stirring Addresses Kiwanians Raise Roof With Spirited Songs — Ladies and Gents Resplendent in Gorgeous Head-Plumage :* ■ f KIWANIS CLUB PUTS OCEAN CITY ON MAP

Henceforth let Mhc world know it there is a duly constitute^ and bap- a tizeil Kiwanis Club in Ocean City. The T ancient tongue of the Chippewa will . be heard in the city. The builders f, laid, truly and sound, the cornerstone of a superstructure which C( •'the future will regard as one of the L ; chief assets and glories of the city. j I The spirit of Kiwanis is permeating, s: , through and through, the fabric of.h . American national and social life. InjT . the domains of politics, commerce, art fi . and industry. Us influence is being I f; , felt, lifting men into higher ideals, | tl ■ inspiring them into unimagined ; f. ! of moral and spiritual con-i » quest. It is proving to be the strong- 1 n , est tie between America and Canada. tl i If the meeting held last evening at e - the Bi.-uuTHF Hotel, may be regarded s as an Index of the future history of i KiwaniAJn Ocean City, it lies not. / ! within tm power of human intelli- , gence, even to surmise the measure of ^ ) influence it will exercise in fashion- j, r ing the future history of the city. „ r Sufficient is it, and gratifying to a ■ know, there are 75 men, social and h j civic leaders in the community, who « 1 are pledged to practice and perpetuate " the Kiwanian code of private and so- y . cial morality. President "Bill" Collisson was in his 1 ' i element. Seldom does it happen that i "- Ike twin and the office fit so well to- f gethcr. From the cry "go" to the ,< grand climax, he engineered' (pardon s the pun) the festivities as only an s engineer could. ' c The singing of America, and the impressive invocation* prayer, tleliv- . ered by Chaplain Dr. John Handley, . , was u fitting opening to the program. | , Prof. James M. Stevens' spirited c and eloquent address of welcome, gave J . the keynote to the entire program, j f The learned pedagogue, carried his r . audience into the cloudland of peotic ecstasy. Enthusiasm roso upon a . tidal wave. Facetiously he expressed . . a wonder, that he had been selected . to perform such an important duty, ? with so many heavier men present. J ,. That prof. Stevens is not over-encum- , bcred with superfluous adipose, isjv , well known. Nevertheless, we would j ' ,■ have the "Bro/tssor know, that in : ' Ocean Qty« measure men from the 11 chin upwards, and not from the chin f downwards, consequently the committee had shown great wisdom jn se- ' - lecting him to deliver the address of v ' welcome. : A departure was made from the f <- . usual procc'lure in Kiwanian circles, > I p when President "Bill" galled upon their • ladies to introduce their escorts. Very ■ " creditably indee<l did the ladies per- t " form — the president with his cus-is 1 tomary urbanity helping the bashful;; l ones over the ruts. [> The presentation of the attendance' prize was an interesting feature, the * committee excelling themselves in « generosity. Mrs. Irving Fitch received l a lovely bouquet of roses, and Mrs. t E. M. Sutton a costly diamond pin. t „ Fortune smiled upon Russell H. s Nulty with X new hot of the very lat- i est style and color, while Dr. Chris- » ' tian, as befitting one of the pain-mak- t I i ing profession, was presented with a i J pane. Doubtless the gift will very t materially increase his sympathy with = 1 his patients in the future. The grand denouement of the eve- I I n ing, however, was the appearance of i |p the celebrated Russian ballet dancer, Signiora BubayarravotakL This was ' the celebrity's first visit to Ocean City, I and oh. boys, it was scruxpptlous. Clad 1 ® in three strings of beads and a feather, I I she cavorted to and fro, tripping the i fantastic toe, and displaying her „syl- ; phian charms, to the utter demoral- i ization of the opposite sex. .How the men crannied their necks forward. ; t And tell it not in Gath, rumor has it •j that a church elder, and a few deacons were mounted on chairs for a better * view. Fortunately, 'he preachers j : present had J»een provided with front ; seats. , • ,i Alas and alack! after her wonderful ! 1 performance the cruel enchantress un- j jl masked, or rather unwigged, and bei hold it was merely a naughty young I man, no other than Leslie Smith, son of Capt. Herbert C. Smith. The lool of chagrirr and disappointment, on the faces at the speakers' I table, was pitiful to behold. Notwithstanding it was a brilliant impersona- j tion, and high tribute to the perform- ; I" er's histrionic abilities. Miss Margaret Ebcrbach then cap- ■ tivateil the audience completely with! her magnificent voice and artistic j singing. Her singing of the Waltz I song from Lu Bohemc was brilliant. -Jii response to persistent encores Miss! Ebertiach favored with two other se-| lections, entitled, "Kiss Me Again,"! and "Oh Mr. Piper. ; Lewis James Howell, gifted with a; bass voice of wonderful range and; quality, entertained us with a master-! Iv rendition of an aria from, Rossini's i opera, "The Barber of Senile," suntf1

Italian with perfect pronOUnciation, fi anil as an encore sang, "The Lilac ti ; Later these two artists sang the . J1 duet, "Lore is Meant to Make ' Us Glad," in a charming manner, ac- " companied by Miss Ferryman Howell. ® In his.xtiring address, Rev. Francis " McCallion, of Camden, demonstrated a marvelous erudition in the " ; history of the State of New Jersey. ■ j The speaker juggled with dates and ^ I like a wizard, and revealed " facts of interest and importance in a | past of our State, which probably I " knew. ; A fluent speaker, ami a thorough ' master of his subject, he hold the attention of his audience to the very! end. . ( International Trustee Ellwood 9. s brought greetings from the j, JjOernational to the Kiwanis Club of ( T)cean City. It is to be regretted that Turner was pressed for time, for j, unquestionably is a native born j afterdinner speaker. His ready wit g and sparkling repartee, his inex- . fund of Humor and anecdote | \ delightful. He emphasized the growing import- i! of the Kiwanis moTemenl in the t j social and national life of America. spirit of Kiwanis was in itself f umlefinable. At the present time, the comprised 70,000 nembers, t drawn from every callmg and profes- t sion, banded together to make them- n selves potent factors in the making d of the future history of America. Mrs. Louise Elilridge Weir, the wife r of the city engineer of Wildwood, 1 proved herself an absolute mistress of I the violin. Her execution of * Sarasate's Zigeuner-Wcisen, a fan- s tasia of Gipsy dances and folk songs, the air of the Hungarian mountains, was perfect in technique and feeling. ' j Lieutenant Governor William S. Em- ( address was an able exposition w of the principles of Kiwanis. I'roba- ' f bly the most effective senteqec which j ] fell from the speaker's lips, were the 1 words, "Be worthy always to receive I ; and merit the approbation and the en - ! dorsement of the ladies." We live in ] ! democratic age, he said, and no man ; hope to be of great usefulness to • his age and generation, unlesa pre- - pared to work in hearty cooperation j with other men. He commented upon the social value', of the Kiwanis movement, in that it j i mpn of the same trade and ! profession into closer fellowship, one ' with the other, and of consequence in- j ' a better mutual understanding and I ' i appreciation. "Lea riling to see good|" ; in another fellow amplifies the goes I in us. I Atlantic City Kiwanis Ciub, of > which the Ocean City Club is airuffshoot. was represented by the vive president. Dr. W. J. Carringtxm. En- i . thusiosm was the siibjeet of the Doc- : tor's brief address, which he defined | , inspired by the gods. Enthusiasm is the secret of all achievement and ■ success. The men who had made history were men of groat enthusiasm, of i whom, Roosevelt and Lincoln were - typical examples. i The task-- confronting the Kiwanis Club in Ocean iCty, was to keep the ■ of enthusiasm burning brightly ! and constantly. Now, the honor of presenting the ; Charter fell to the Governor Joseph , B. Hottel, of Trenton. This, Governor i Hottel did with consummate grace. , felicitated the Club upon the occa- ! sion, and must hpve struck a respon- - sive chord in the heart of every man - and woman present, when he appealed ; to the Kiwanians, they could seek . always to exemplify in life, the great t principles of their fellowship. He a spoke of the perils of the present age, r its defiant challenge to authorite', the s hatred fostered "between nation and t 1 nation, the passion for pleasure, and the disregard for <tety and responsiI I bility. -: It should be the task of every Ki- - wanian, to set before the world and ? all men, an example of right living d and right thinking, which would be! an inspiration, and a counteracting; - force against the evil tendencies of! i' the age. In presenting, the charter, he ex- j - ; pressed the hope that the Kiwanis : - Club of Ocean City, would continue . its career of usefulness and service in! » : the community. h 1 It was evident that in receiving the c , charter, and responding to the graciou.z I words of presentation, the president, t. ! W. H. Collisson. Jr., was laboring uns ! der great emotion. He pledged the Uyiwanis Chib of Ocean City in at- " ! Ipfriance to Got mar Hottel. to the i principles of Kiwanis, and to the serv- j i ice of America. d ; No words of praise can be too flat- j r- ' terine. in speaking of the committe- 1 '.- who had charge of P»e if 'program and- in-! t i ft
