The most memorable day in the history of the local wigwam of the Improved Order of Red Men came on Saturday last when their new halt was officially dedicated and the | corner stone duly and ceremoniously laid. Miss Virginia Smith, the young j daughter of William H. Smith, contractor, by whom the hall is being | erected, and who is also the Bashaba of the Allied Tribes of Atlantic County, had the honor of ( performing the important function. ] Escorted by. Warren Smith, and ; Elizabeth Wriggins, both of whom were clad in the picturesque costumes of the prairies, and carried ; flags, Miss Virginia spread the , cement, and declared the stone duly ; and properly laid.

Following the ceremony, the spectators adjourned into the hall, where an instructive address was I delivered by Past Great Sachem William Atkinson. "Twenty-five great suns past," said the speaker, " Kalmia Tribe was organized with a membership of thirty-five. Ten great suns later, the membership had in- ( creased to 109, with a wampum belt of $1,600. The history of Kalmia Tribe has been one of steady and gradual progress. Four great suns ago, however, the tribe experienced quite a revival of interest and activity. Diligent members scoured the forest for palefaces, to the end that now the tribe has a membership of 253, and $6,882.00 in the wampum belt.*' Not only had Kalmia Tribe prospered, continued the Great Past (Continued on Page Six) Most Wicked Woman and Meanest Man Dr. John Handlcy to Name and Describe Both Sunday Evening Despite his ability both as a ■ preacher and a scholar, Dr. John Handley has chosen a hard task for himself for the coming Sunday. At the evening sendee, so he announces, he will undertake to name and describe the "most wicked woman, and the meanest man in the Bible." Human nature was much the • same in Bible days as it is at the present time, Dr. Handley states, consequently, he fears not that his 1 discourse will not be applicable to ' the age in which we live. Many 5 will be eager to learn who were - these notorious people, and what * constituted the wickedness of the ' one, and the meanness of the other. The morning service will be de1 voted to the administration of the 1 Communion, and the reception of J new members. Special music will be rendered by the choir, under the directorship 6 of Prof. Harry H. Lake. a ■ ■ —

A BASE RUMOR IS I I DENIED BY BUICK ' j Local Dealer Calls Attention of Public to Propaganda "A report is being circulated to the effect that the Buick Company j has been sued by one of its com- 1 petitory for patept infringement is j ' absolutely untrue and without' foundation in any way, shape or manner. "As long as the buying public continues to appreciate our present design, as it certainly seems to, there is no intention on the part of this company to make any radical changes. "We feel that you are entitled to the above information as a contradiction to propaganda being circulated by competitors who desire to retard our sales. You can emphatically state that such reports arc absolutely without any foundation whatsoever." The above statement emanating from the Buick Company came to us through their local representative, Joseph Scrivani, of the Central Garage. Open competition upon, merits is fair and just; but false accusations deserve to be "nailed to the countfer." 1 i

LOCAL DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA WILL ATTEND AT CHURCH "CHALLENGE OF PATRIOTISM" SUBJECT OF SPECIAL DISCOURSE The Ocean City Council, Daughters of America, will attend in a body the evening service #at the First Presbyterian Church, next Sunday. In this manner, and very appropriately will this splendid patriotic order observe Thanksgiving Day. It Is anticipated that the Council will be strongly represented, special and concerted efforts being made to that end. The preacher of the occasion will be the Rev. Chas. F. N. Voegelin, who has elected to speak on the topic, "The Challenge of Patriotism." In his inimitably frank and forceful manner, Dr. Voegelin will discuss what are the principles of true patriotism, and the insidious agencies that are at work endeavoring to undermine the very foundations of the Republic. The service will begin at 7.30 o'clock. At the morning service, Dr. Voegelin will speak on "The Red, White and Blue of Christianity." This also will be a Thanksgiving ; service, and in the course of his; discourse, the preacher will at-! tempt to illustrate the close and j vital relationship between religion! and the principles represented by the Flag. Special music will be rendered, in perfect keeping with the day and the visitation.

The Fuller Brush Man in Town : The Fuller brush man is coming to town. Every housewife knows by personal experience or hearsay, who is the Fuller brush man. He comes with a full line of clothes, hat, nail, flesh, stove, in fact, every kind of brush imaginable, and behind each brush there is the guarantee of the company. A brush will last a lifetime. The Fuller fibre broom is the best any person can buy, and being the best, is obviously tfys cheapest. The Fuller Christmas sets constitute ideal presents. The value of a gift is measured, of course, by i its usefulness. They can be used ' every day through the year. A finer present, no man could , wish to receive. I Mr. Smith, the Fuller man, will ' be around to visit the citizens of [ Ocean City in the very near future. Should any person, knowing of the ' Fuller products, be in haste for * them, or wish the representative to I call at some special hour, arrangei merit* can be mad by letter to 12 if North Street, Cape May, N.

PUPILS OF SEVENTH GRADE Tu PERFORM CHARMING OPERETTA PERFORMANCE WILL BE AT THE STRAND THEATRE DECEMBER 7th

Under the direction of Miss ljouisn T. Corson, Musical Directress of the Public Schools, the pupils of the Seven ill Grade, Mrs. Ketcham's section, will perform a charming written operetta entitled "The Golden Apple;" The libretto is written and based upon one of the earliest legends of the Olympian Era, a theme to which poets and musicians have directed their genius ever since the days of Homer. In the background stands Olympus, the abode of the ancient gods. Dryads and Naiads, Oreads, Nymph and Satyrs frolicked in forest •ami rippling stream. Upon rare occasions, a god would marry a mortal, and the event was marked with great ceremony, and the entrance into the sacred grove.

It is said that at the wedding feast of Pelcus, the grandson of , Jupiter, and the little sea nymph, Thetis, a joyous event was marred ■ obvious reasons was omitted from the invited guests. In her anger . and revenge, however, the neglected , goddess, crept into the assemblage . unseen, and threw a golden apple , into the midst of the throng, with , instructions that it should be pre- , sen ted to the most beautiful of the . goddesses. Juno, Minerva, and Venus were the three rivals for the coveted honor and prize. Unable to decide himself, or rather unwilling to decide said Helvetus, Jupiter sent Mercury to escort the three divinities to Mount Ida, with the request that Paris, a shepherd, should make the award. Paris favored Venus; and Mercury hastened to Olympus, there to make known the "Decision of Paris." Around this plot the operetta is written an atmosphere which lends itself to music anil dramatic treatment admirably. The cast will be represented as follows: Jupiter, Carl Bassett; Apollo, Osborne Corson, Jr.; Paris, Frank Lanzara; Mercury, Ernest Kent; Pan, Ralph Davis; Juno, Evelyn Baker; Minerva, Jane Groves; Venus, Evelyn Chester; Hebe, Marie Downs; Diana, Mary Collisson; Thetis, Jessie Haefner; Oenone, Edith Henderson; Mars, Joseph Lawless; Vulvan, Harry Jones; Neptune, Richard Grace; Hercules, Daniel Barlow; Peleus, Howard Brad way; Elfins, Oswald Adams, Chas. Adillizzio, Wallace Blizzard, Stanley Craven, Thomas Chattin, Albert" Denzel, Kenneth Loper; Eris, Katherine Johnson; Dryads, Naiads, and Oreads, Mary Ash, Elizabeth Button, Ella Booz, Edna Collins, Lolo Fort, Helen Gohs, and Ruth Hampton. The performance of this operetta will be given in the Strand The- ! atre, on Friday evening, December ;7th, at 8 o'clock. Children will be admitted for 10c i and adults for 25c. It is to be hoped that the effort Y of Miss Corson and the pupils will be properly recognized.

TURKEY SUPPER NETS OVER $300 TO LEGIONAIRES LADIES' AUXILIARY DECIDES TO DIVIDE PROFITS WITH THREE WORTHY CAUSES The effort of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the American legion have again been crowned with success. The profits of the turkey supper given at the First Presbyterian Church amount to $308.36. The enterprise and initiative shown by the ladies of the auxiliary are worthy of unstinted praise and emulation. Whatever they undertake to do has been successful, and all members co-operate with absolutely disinterested abandon. The supper itself was a triumph of the culinary arts, and all who attended were received most cordially. The ladies have decided to devote the proceeds of their efforts to three most worthy objectives.— 8100 V-ill be devoted towards the Morgpn-Ranck Post Band; $100 to the Post Building Fund; and another' $100 to the Convalescent Home in Monantieo to provide a heating plant for the institution. Thf home, we are informed, is ready for the official opening, as soon as the heating plant has been instated. To the ladies of Ocean City's Auxiliary, the disabled soldiers will owe the comfort they will enjoy during the cold months of

wintef. Th« donation towards the Building Fund is but one of many con- \ tributions made by the Auxiliary, and it will not be lacking to any effort on the part of' the ladies if the Legion House is not a thing of the near future. The help rendered to the band is in one sense a gift to the community as well as the L«gion; for the band will be an asset the city stands in great need of, and one which will be of inestimable service. Th* ladies desire to publicly I thank th eneople of Ocean City for| their loyal support, which made the sapper so great a success as a sociar function and a financial gain. Entertained at Cards Mr s. Hazel Harris entertained a party of friends at cards on Thursday in her home in the Browlee Apartments. A very enjoyable time was spent, by this one of the last organized of society clubs. The guests included: Mrs. Velma Mould. Mrs. Sara K. Anderson, , Miss para Smith, Miss Mary Fox, , -Miss "Louise Morris, Miss Doris •Bauerlin* and Miss Justine Kress.

SCOUT EXECUTIVE OF ATLANTIC CITY DELIVERS INTERESTING TALK ■ Boy work, boy culture, and the Boy Scout movement formed the general topic at the noon-hour luncheon of the Kiwanis Club on Wednesday. The speakers of the day were:1 Scout Executive Harold B. File, of Atlantic City, and Dr. George Jones, pastor of Trinity Church, who is also an active worker In and exponent of the Boy Scout movement.

Mr. File, in the course of his r address, gave some interesting *ta- j tistics of the progress made in Boy i Scout work in the sister resort. i At the present time there are i 764 boys divided among the various 1 troops, with one hundred devoted t leaders. The educational powers * of Atlantic City were lending all the assistance they could to the 1 work, having agreed to allow them 1 free use of school buildings. i The lions, the Kiwanis, and the 1 Rotary Club, of Atlantic City, were < doing splendid work for the move- | ment, the speaker said, in parti cu- i lar the latter body. The Rotarians had spent fully $10,000 in provid- ] ing and equipping a Scout camp,, j The boys were In all manner of , ways encouraged to give their < sendees to the community, and particularly valuable had these sendees been found in the work of entertaining conventions. The lads served a* messengers, and placed themselves at the beck and call of visitors as guides U sraricms parts of the city. Dr. George Jones followed Mr. File in an impasslonnte appeal for the boy of the age, and paid high tributes to the work done by Scout 1 e a <1 or s throughout Atlantic County, The addresses were followed by a lengthy and Instructive discussion in which several members of the local club participated. Dr. John Handley offered two suggestions worthy of consideration. Firstly, he thought that the club, together with other civic organizations, should make an effort to have a

probation officer elected for the [ ! county. Other counties had the 1 services of surii a functionary, ami many a boy had been rescued from the stigma of criminality, and won over to a better mode of living through their efforts. Dr. Handley further suggested that the club should hold a father and son banI quet, and that the boys of the com- | munlty should be brought into closer fellowship with those who i were morally responsible for their, welfare. Both suggestions were approved, and the Board of Directors was instructed to prepare ten- • tative plans to present before the club. J. R. Jones and Lawrence M. Lear were the lucky recipients of ? the nttendance prizes.

Justice Ware Goes To West Virginia Police Justice Francis H. Ware left this resort on Wednesda> bound for West Virginia.

I President Smith, at the last meetI ing of the Young Men's Progressive League on Monday, stated that the Girl Scouts of this city desired the League to appoint a member to represent the organization upon the advisory board of the Scout movement The members expressed themselves in full approval of supporting the girls in their efforts, and President Smith appointed Dt. W. P. Haines to represent the League. Five new members were received on Monday, the president declaring the ballot favorable on all. Albert L. Ingram, Fred Manly, Harold Hiltpold, J. H. Becotte and D. G. Townsend were the names added to the roster. Prtrmw- Vtwkhrt1«l<»r GhnHwirk inrormer rreenoiuer ^naawica in-

troduced the matter of approaching the City Commissioners with the view of securing an appropriation towards the Hallowe'en Carnival. The speaker emphasized the point that the effort should be made, before the Commissioners made up their budget for the comyear. Eventually it was made known that the Executive Committee would take the necessary steps as suggested. Andrew C. Boswcll desired to know if the League could not add a billiard table to its present recreational equipment. He expressed the opinion that if such could be done, it would be the means of bringing in several new members who were billiard enthusiasts. The suggestion met with the approval of all, and President Smith appointed Frank E. Darby, Andrew C. Boswell, and John E. Trout as a. committee to deal with the matter. John E. Trout, as chairman of the Sinking Fund Commission, announced that letters had been sent out to all members who were behind in their payments on bonds. He requested that all should make an effort to meet their liabilities, In order that the League might in turn meet its liabilities at the banks. The work of remodeling the League Home is proceeding rapidly. The game room has been plastered and will in the course of a few days be ready for interior decorations.

TWO FIERY GROSSES DREADED SYMBOL OF KLAN BURN HERE 1

OCEAN AND BAY REFLECTS FITFUL BAYS OF FLAMES SATURDAY NIGHT Two large crosses, the ominous warnings and symbols of the Ku Klux Klan, were discovered burning in this resort on Saturday nightThe crosses hail been erected, one on the beach front at Eighth Street, and the other on the bay front of the same thoroughfare, thus including the entire island in their significance. As far as can be learned, no indications of activity was observed around either of the two places. No person was seen near the vicinity to create suspicion until tongue* of livid flame began to shoot up , into the darkness of the night. The secrecy associate*! with the , affair, and the rapidity with which the crosses were built and lit, bear the earmarks of the famous organization. It is said that the Klan has a . very large following in this resort, d and that meetings are held weekly.

Whatever the burning of the crosses may Indicate Is a matter of speculation. Vague* and contradictory rumors are in circulation. Apart from the burning of the two crosses on Saturday, if these in' deed were the work of the Klan, | the organiiation ha* shown no ; other aigns of actvity. Whether the scene* ©t Saturday hare any association with similar one* in neooautvUle, Sotners Point, and Atlantic City, i* also a matter of pure speculation.

| Local residents are said to be on the lookout each evening for I further signs of action. The police i tstat* they hare no information concerning tW affair, other than I I that which Is current gossip.
