ARRIVES , AEROPHOTOGRAPHY UNO COAST PATROL THE BROTHERS APPLEBY. EX-jl PERT EX-CAPTAINS AND \ /PILOTS IN CHARGE \ Near about the hour of seven Tues- j | evening, a navy seaplane dropped | . ; like a bolt from the blue into theji i waters of the bay, anil steered its way ! i i to the Fourth street landing. | . | It had been an eventful flight; forji , waters of the Delaware were i I rougher than the open sea, when the I ] plane dropped that the pilot and his j ■ j companion, might refresh the inner j i j with a sandwich. j i Originally it was intended that two, , j seaplanes should make their head- ! > ! quarters on the bay of Ocean City for , i the summer ,as arranged between j i Joseph G. Champion and thcl. j Commissioners, and the au- i j til ori ties. I At the Inst moment .however, one j : j called away to the base at Lang i I owing to a lack of pipper!' I equipment.* ! The plane is of the type known airir? ) navy seaplane .designed and built expressly for scout duty in time of war; | j therefore is one of the very best constructed for safe travel and rapid j i [ flight. ' The seaplane is scheduled to be here , all the summer, and Ocean City folk : will have the privilege and pleasure,, | of witnessing • army and navy : j manoeuvres conducted "by government I , | While here the plane xyill be partly 1 for the purpose of coast patrol, and j | aerophotngraphy, and partly foj the! | purpose of carrying passengers Tor j I short or long flights. There will lie no difficulty rtr any ; j person desiring a trip to secure it, ; : for the instructions are that the pilots • are to accommodate all possible for • reasonable charges. No person could essay n flight j ■ through space with greater safety and in more expert hands. The brothers Appleby are both ex-! captains of the navy, and have trained : over a thousand men for the service.!

HEROES— MEMORIAL DAY HONORARY GUESTS A nobler tribute to America's im- j mortal hero and patron saint, Abra- ; i Lincoln, was never heard than the eloquent eulogy, delivered by the ; Rev. T. Aird Moffat, of Newark, be- ; the Kiwanians at their luncheon ' I on Wednesday. The speaker, who is an orator of , i the first rank, proved himself a mas- ! tor of his subject, and erudite sin the j voluminous literature appcrtaiiWng to ' the tragic period of American history, covered by the span of Lincoln's life' : and the Civil War. Beginning with the birth of Lincoln, i Moffat traced in chronological orider, the outstanding events in hisj checkered life. "Never," said he, "in the history of, the human race has a man risen to a ; i place of high eminence and power, who hail through life to combat, against such great obstacles." The speaker regarded the life of! ; as a striking demonstration, of the great things God has often ac- j ; complished, through commonplace! things and men. Speaking of Abraham Lincoln, Mr. George, the greatest living! statesman in England, said, "He is the j ■ most colossal character in modern history, whose fame will outlive the pyra- ; ■ Lincoln made his appearance in this ] i life in the humblest of homes and dr- j j cumstances. Far away in the wilds of Kentucky,' a poor, emaciated woman lay in the i > travail of child-birth. No kind j sympathetic nurse was there to ren-; jder aid. The nearest doctor lived ten miles1 away, 2nd the nearest neighbor almost j ' In such circumstances was Lincoln! and reared. ! Lincoln's life throughout was an unbroken struggle against poverty and I privation. When he entered the legisI lature he walked there a distance of a 1 hundred miles, carrying his pack on ; back, and when he had completed ; his term of office there, he returned | home the same way and manner. j Eventually he ascended to the Presi- ! dental Chair, and the White House. Even there poverty dogged his steps, and he was compelled to borrow money for the household expenses, until the first cheek from the govern- , ment came to his hand. In graphic language, Rev. Moffat went on to detail Lincoln's heroic i to educate himself. He had very i little schooling, and never a collegiate j career. On one occasion he walked 50 j miles to borrow a volume of Black- 1 stone, and read one hundred pages of; the book on the way home. His first slate was a wooden shovel, and his first pencil a piece of char- ! Sorrow and suffering also followed Lincoln all the days of his life. Tears and he were bed fallows.

AMERICAN LEGION JOIN I MEMORIAL SERVICE AT . PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - HEROES OF FOUR GREAf WXRS i ! J REPRESENTED— MASTERLY \J DISCOURSE - 1 The Memorial Day service held Suni j day evening, at the First Presbyterian ; Church, was in many respects an j , t unique event. Four great periods of i - j American history were represented, j r and four great wars. ( : ' Seated upon the rostrum with the ; : pastor, Rev. Chas. F. N. Voegelin. 5 1 were four men. The first man was . r ; clothed in the style of garments worn, , I during the tragic period of the Rev- ) I olutionary War. By his side sat a! - ! veteran of the Civil War. On the left ! . r of the pastor, sat a much bemerlalnl i ! representative of the Spanish-Ameri- : , c ran War, while at his side sat a young , - in kahki. It was a thrilling spectacle, bring- j s i ing very vividly to heart and mind, ! • ? ! the four great crises through which i. r the nation has passed, and during!' ^jhich it crowned itself with undying ! f - Mr. Niekerson represented the ! ' ; j Washington period of history, E. M. j " - 1 Evans stood for the (Svil War', Ray- j , I ; mond H. Gardiner, Spanish- Amer- j , ican War. and Mr. Adams, the great- j ' e est of all wars the world has ever | . c ! known. ;, i During the introductory part of the . service, the ushers presented each in- ■ ti dividual in the congregation, with a . small silk American Flag. Referring , ' y later to the matter, the pastor re- . , I : minded the congregation that on , e ! Memorial Day, the nation gave ex- . r pi ession to its deep sense of gratitude j to the memory of the men, who had \ f given their lives for country- and flag; j . , : and expressed the desire that when j I s j they visited the cemetery during the . | r week, that they would plarf the small j i flag upon the grave in which they ; t were interested ,as a small token of I his, the pnStor, and his people's; ; sympathy. It was n beautiful thought, beautiij fully expressed. .A lady gifted with a >. . rich contralto voice, gave a very pleas- - ] ing rendition of the song, "There Is , i No Death." i Taking for his text the words,; !"Men Who Have Hazarded Their i j Lives," Rev. Chas. F. N. Voegelin dc- . s ; live red one of the most eloquent and ( impressive memorial discourses, it has c I been our privilege to hear, e ; "The men who have hazarded their > . I. ' lives, the men who dared are the men ] , ' who have made history." The Declaration of Independence dej clared that all men are equal. In cer- ! ; tain superficial senses .Vliis was true. , ; In another and deeper rmi it was not true, could not be true. ' ! "Men are not born into an equal | station in life," said the preacher. (; Men are not all kitted with the same high excellence of moral character ; ( and mentality. "In every age it is true that some ! men rise above their fellows, men of J ■ 'vision, who lead the multitudes; men " who ore able to climb into the heigh t-s ' • where the voice of God are heard, and who, by virtue of a divine appoint- • ment, lead those who never leave the 1 ! valley of mediocrity. ' "A short time before the outbreak of hostilities," the preacher continued, '"'"frequently we heard it said, what n ! poor stuff was humanity after all, ! ® made of. The entire world ,it was ' y said, was steeped in gross materialism 1 " and sordidness. "Then came the sound of the war ! f drums sounding through the land, and the poor stuff was found to contain ! e its htf-oic type of manhood, men who . ° ; were ready to hazard everything xbk" i ■ '■ n high purpose, a noble principle and e'a divine ideal. "The men who dare are the seed of i, every reform in every' generation," - said Rev. Voegelin. "Notwithstanding s ; the terrible experiences through which I they passed, I have yet to hear a man ; f say who fought and returned, 'Never a again,' should the need arise and the r, call come. it, "Men who hazard their lives are the ; hope of tomorrow. The men who sit t at home cavilling and criticizing arc n , never the men to hazard. Well, would ^ I it be if such persons would first learn 0|to hazard before they dared to criti- ' cize. 1 "We have reason to thank God that 'ithe love of truth and fidelity to a ° grand Ideal, has not perished from the . I face of the earth, has not perished *" i from the U. 8. A. Men are still will- ; ing to hazard for the things they canI not see .things which must forever remain invisible to the carnal eye." A Urge delegation of the Morgan- ; Ranek Post attended, and sat thrilled ' ; by the eloquence of the preacher, and . the impressiveness of hfs message. Rev. Voegelin announced, that on ;the coming Sabbath the Lord's Sup- ; per would be administered, and that the session would be in attendance on I Wednesday evening, and the coming Sabbath moming, to reWve all who i desired to affiliate with the church. He announced further that Tuesday evening, June 18th, a pageant entitled, d "The Lifted Cross," would be given ^ in the church.

Gorgeous Exhibition of Wit, Invention, Acrobatic Skill, ' Beauty, Freaks and Frauds Progressive League Circus a triumph of Amateur Art — Thrilling Flights Through Space — Death Defying Whirl in Flame — Gymnastic Genius '• DID YOU GET STUNG? . Doc. Shakenback Hughes With His Hypnotic eye "Lamps" I he Rooster Into Laying a Leather Egg — MoonShine Beats Volstead by a Loag Neck

The Indoor circus staged by the | - Young Men's Progressive League, in j I the city music pavilion, Saturday and | - ! Monday evenings, was a triumph of | 1. 1 inventive genius and stagecraft. ' j In every respect it complied with ! e the requirements of a real circus. | ~ What foik usually expect to witness " in a circus was on display. ,1 Feats of acrobatic skill and daring ! „ are expected; a more thrilling specta-f cle was never witnessed than at the', 0 music pavilion. Abundance of) grease, paint and I II powder, are expected in a circus. It . was there in abundance, thick enough - to lie cut into chunks with a lawn s In a circus people expect to sec - strung animals of fearful aspect, il brought from the heart of the primeval forest and jungle. They were in Ocean City at the city pavilion, animals more wonderful and grotesque, than any seen in a pre-Volstead nightmare. Ixiins and tigers that smoked '"Camel s" and chew up "Five 1 Brothers"; a jackass both sections of which have more than a sneaking fondness for "Teddy Bears" and "Chickens"; a bear that dotes on oyster stew; and last but not least, a gigantic rooster that laid a football and hatched a team. Wild and savage beyond description , as the animals were, they were com- ! pletely under subjection to their master. And small wonder. ,1 By the expression on the contenance of the trainer. Dr. Carl Shakenback 1 Hughes, it is surmised that his fave orite diet is fried T.N.T., pickled , bombs and mustard gas served a la ^ Kaiser. Finally folks attend a circus expect- [- ' ing to be stung. They go away highd i ly indignant if not stung. At the IC league circus they were certainly not disappointed. Old Barnum never , stung his patrons with less compune- , tion and with greater zest. £ A large and highly appreciative q audience attended the circus, and got full value for their money whatever they expected. , On Saturday evening, gorgeous in redcoat and spangled breeches Frank , Piatt officiated ring master. 0 ! Col. Barnum-Bailey Gardiner, was q ; Major-dome, Grand Llama, and a 0 1 dozen other unprintable things, rolled _'into one; and upon him depended the o entire proceedings, and to him belongs the lion share of the praise and credit. In due and ancient* form, according i an ancient tradition, the circus opened with a Grand Procession. Gladiators ® and Athenian Dancing Nymphs, AniWmals and Gymnasts, Clowns, Freaks JJ and Frauds, inarched in solemn digU nity around the arena, the jackass "'fishing for cooties in the tail of the H | rooster, and the human skeleton plBying peekaboo with the giraffe around the fat lady. ~ The box officer was observed to re0 mark that of the five hundred spectators, four hundred and umpty nine I were named Boneheddi — quite a prolific family. After the procession, came the I Grecian dance, performed by a bevy E, of Athenian beauties, frequently seen !on the Boardwalk. Due to an oversight on the part of the committee, this number was no ; fake. The maidens performed the intricate movements of the dance, with i consummate grace and artistic perfection. The intermission was, of course, the opportune moment for the appearance of the clowns. The troupe of four fill|ed the part to perfection. Their antics caused roars of laughter, and won immediate favor with the audience. 'Later, when they had washed their , ' faces, the troupe were found to consist of Lewis Gandy, Maurice Gandy, Scott Adams and Victor Gifford. , ; The long, lank and lazy lady, with ' , the big hat, proved to be H. B. Cooper, ; Jr., and h-s remarkably clever dog, the ! Honorable Patches. r. The Honorable Patches, it might be ," ' stated was instrumental in collecting " j the sum of *135, to give the crowd of i youngsters an outing to the seashore. .. 1 The Fallofski Troupe of tumblers ' were superb in their act. Prof. E. E. iUnger certainly demonstrated his fit- , ! ness, to be physical instructor of the public schools, la his display ofacro- ' batic slrill. The troupe acquitted ! themselves with honor, Whereupon Madamoselle I ma : Vampa, appeared in the arena, with ' her trained cats. The program stated is ; that the fiercest denizens cf the jungle of ' were under complete subjection. mI j Very probably there were other rit ! creatures in the audience, who would •d ! not have objected in the least being ," ' vamped, by so charming a young lady. Id Very intelligent indeed were her animals. The lion could sit upon his in hunches, as though born to the posi>n tion, and the tiger could whisk his ty i caudal appendage, as though accusal tomed to the act. g-i There are grave doubts, however, a- that both the lion and the tiger, were : suffering from fatty degeneration of rs the conscience, when commanded to to! tell their age; for one cannot think ic ! less, than they were both a trifle more in i ancient than they claimed to be. e- Once again Dr. Shakenback Hughes ill and his trained animals appeared. The i genial pharmacist looked terrific in ; buckskin and leather. His power and | influence over the animals was sim-

s ply marvelous. His statement that i his collection of jungle denizens, were ;! j hard to educate, was accepted by the f audience without a single protest, and a thrilling sight it was to behold the I, ! tiger and the hear waltzing around the I. i arena to Murphy music. [ s The crowning act of this part of the performance came on, when the in^ x f trepid trainer laid himself flat on the _ ; ground, and allowed the animals to \ c walk over him. N Had the hind half of the jackass ,1 ; missed the step, there would have . been an cpiUph— "Here lies." h In spite of the heroic efforts -of the „ committee again, the Torch Swingers were genuine. It was a spectacular display, and in every respect worthy , of the three performers. Eventually ^ it transpired that the three performera were known in civil like as Prof. E. E. Unger, Mrs. E. E. Unger and James M: Stevens, Jr. The audience ' applauded loudly, "Ungering" for 7 more. ' Stung No. 999 then came on — and ' . the stunged were delighted. The Polo _ game was a thrilling exhibition. The [j dexterity with which the young ridera controlled their steeds, and swung '" their mallets around the hall, was as- .. tounding. What was more wonderful still, at the close of the game, notwithstanding the fact that the players " were in momentary danger of being i- trodden under feet by their ponies, or scalped by a blow from a vicious mallet, not one of the players looked e the least pale or white, k One player's horse proved absoluto- '- ly unmanageable. Nothing daunted d him, however. He picked the horse a up under his arm, and pro. -ceded with the game. I. The Mooriyn Four on the horizontal bar were above criticism. The eett « »lth which they went through their ,t performance was perfect. Prof. E. B. ,r Unger, George Gardiner, Scott Adams, F. E. Selvaign and Chas. Cox, were the scheduled players. Another, howV ever, appeared on the scene. Victor ,t Butz stepped down from the band,r stand .and matched his skill on the bar with any. Later too, Victor Butz n gave a star exhibition of eccentric ]t dancing. This act concluded by two young ,s ladies. Miss Carolyn Rogers, the I ma Vampa of an earlier act, and Lovedy d Welch, being whirled around the ber ,e in a sheath of flame. -s Peter Yunk, who earlier performed t. some wonderful balancing stunts, apg pea red in the rpje of the strong man. -I The audience Mood aghast as he trii fled with a 160 lb bar, and lifted a j. weight of a thousand pounds avoirducs pois byhis (eeth; then when Samsoni r- had retired puid the dwarf, Harry Hayes appeared and carried off the ie whole paraphernalia in his arms, /. some of the spectators invited their d neighbors to kick them. Accompanied by a thunderous out6. burst of music, Madam Buboyarrovatski appeared in her oriental dance, ic Instantly the ladies bowed their heeds i- to hide their blushes, as the naughty Sri cavorted around the arena, dad two small feathers and a string of -y beads .and the men crowded up closer Madam Bubuyarrovataki deported jf herself with the gTace of a sprite, and l0 judging by the amount of clothes she i- wore, must have come from a land h where the temperature in midwinter, c- is never below 1000 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. ic When at last Madam tore off her :c w'g. and became cognisable as Leslie 1- Smith, the ladies smiled, and the men :s wept. The performance of the Aerialiata was real stuff. No circus ever had ir a superior troupe. Prof. Upger aernt formed on the trapese, ami the rfigs tt feats of daring that caused the spectators to hold their breath. A finer all.h round athWta cannot be found, and be r, it added the remaining members of ic the troupe were worthy of their teacher. >e In addition to Prof. Unger, Chas. SCox and George Gardiner performed on the trapese and Scott Adams and e. F. E. Selvaign performed on tho rings, rs The Roman chariot race very fitEl tingly concluded the circus. It was a t- thrilling spectacle. The two drivers, Miss Jane Smith and Miss Bert Buio- zard, controlled their steeds splendH•d ly. Sad to relate, however. Moonshine and Homebrew, beat Volstead and ia Bonedry, by a long thirsty neck, th The human skeleton was reprey) Rented by Jack Acton with perfection. Ie Ralph Niekerson made a winsome Fat Lady, with a wicked eye. A. W.
