•We propertlee along the Delaware
Bay shore and thp seashore at Cape
May Point are. menaced by the e*
croachment of the bay and ocean.
Hundreds of thoassnds of dollars have
been spent In the p.HSt few yearn te
protect the beach front, but the sea
has washed In several feet during the
winter and It Is feared that at the next
high tide the water will get In behind
the Villa Marla and wash out the un
derpinning of thUf old four-story struc
ture and the priest house near by.
The old Hotel Sboreham and a hand

house, up near the Cape May light
house. also are said to be In some
danger. If la at this point that Del

Many experts have sought In the
past few yetn to And some wsy to
build jetties, dikes or wills which will

villa, which Is occupied by the Qer-

at Twenty-first and College avenue
during the summer months, have part

Cape May also has a serious prob
lem. Experts say that the closing of
the Inlet at the northern end of two-
mlle beach and the building of the
government Jetties at the entrance to
Cape May harbor have caused the
trouble. A delegation will go to
Washington to see If the Jetties can
not be extended # half-mile, or If a

Plague of Seals Besets
, Fishermen of Wales
Nevlri, England.—A plague of seals
along the south Carnarvonshire coast
recently put the fishermen temporarily
out of business and caused the govern
ment ministry of fisheries much an
noyance.
On one occasion the seals swarmed
Into the fishermen’s favorite haunts In
such numbers that the gunboat H. M.
8. Doon was dispatched to Carnarvon
bay. and. with the aid of residents
along the coast, who brought out their
hunting pieces, 19 seals were killed In
one drl^e.
It has been established that the
•eels have a breeding place in caves
naar Nevln, and the government Is
considering what steps to taka to rid
the coast of the nuisance. The seals
of this colony are- known as the com
mon seal and the gray, seal, which have
inhabited various parts of the British
coasts for many generations, but not in
such numbers, ordinarily, as to cause
an Inconvenience to fishermen.
* The fnr of these specimens has no
particular value commercially.
Five Memorials At
Church
-■ Drop of Ink Made^fUlioas Think,
Brother Declares.
Fletcher, N. C., An*. 26.—Gathered
here today to honor a great American
humorist who carved his niche in the
hearts of his countrymen, hundreds
of admirers of Bill Nye had wafted to
them echoes of the kindly humor of
the great American writer; a humor
ist whose works still live and bring
cheer to those who read or remem
ber. .
Five memorials in and near ancient
Calvary Episcopal church were dedi
cated here today. Besides the monu
ment with the bronze tablet in the
churchyard, there were dedicated a
boulder and tablet at the grave of the
hurporist, a flag staff, the gift of the
city of Asheville, and a memorial
shelter presented by Asheville Ma
sons.
The ceremony on this, the 75th an
niversary‘of Edgar Wilson Nye’s
birth, was impressive, beginning with
the reveille of the fighter and closing
with “taps” just as the sun sank like
a golden ball behind the deepening
shadows of the Blue Ridge. Its im
pressiveness, however, was not mark
ed by a cold formality. Several mem
bers of Bill Nyfe’s family were pres
ent and by their participation in the
services brought the assembled throng
into closer relationship with the man
whoke memory tne annual celebration
is intended to preserve!
Frank Wilson Nye, speaking of his
brother, said:
“When Bill dipped his tenuous pen
point in an ink well, it was a fore
gone conclusion that millions Would
laugh. But the resulting snicker was
not an empty guffaw. His drop of
ink made millions think; for Bill Nye
was a philosopher.”
Messages containing tributes to the
humorist and greetings to those who
would perpetuate his memory were re
ceived from many persons of promi
nence. Among them were: President
Calvin Coolidge, Gov. Ralph 0. Brew
ster of Maine, Gov. Alfred Smith of
North Carolina, Gov. John J. Blaine
New York, Gov. Angus W. McLean of
of Wisconsin, Gov. Nettie Taylor Ross
of Wyoming, Walt MacDougall, illus
trator for Bill Nye; Irvin S. Cobb,
humorist; Dr. Frank Crane, eminent
writer; Strickland Gillillan, author;
Frank Sumner Burrage, editor of the
Laramie Republican, Boomerang, Wyo.
and Frank J. Perrin, associate editor
of the Christian Monitor.

Catch Fish With Bare

Washington.—An Ideal stream for
tho laxy or Impatient fisherman, who
craves nourishment rather than the
thrill of the catch, has been discov
ered by Interior department englneerr
in the inaccessible, turbid San Juan
river, one of the main tributaries of
the Colorado In Utah.
The swiftly flowing San Juan, called
Pawhuaka (mad river) by the Navajo
Indians who live nearby, never gets
clear. At times the river runs with a/
smooth, oily movement, like that of
molten metal, so red and viscous Is It
w|th silt. At such times the fish be
come exhausted and flounder on the
surface, their dorsal fins projecting
Into the air. Then the fisherman
needs only to arm himself wtih a club
to catch a fish with bare hands after
bo has stunned It with a blow.
Airplanes Take Food to
Marooned Mountaineers
Berne.—Corned !>eef and hardtack
dropped from airplanes In daily flights
over the Alpa saved the lives of three
Swiss Alpinists who were marooned
for eight days by storms in the Mari-
oelll shelter hut on lop of the Bernina
mountains and who arrived safely, at
Pootresina.
The Alpinists hearing two days’ ra
tions. left for their climb on February
10 and were caught in a vortex of
hurricanes. They had been gone four
days when S*iss military flyers dla
corered them In the wilderness and
directed them to their shelter lint.
The flyers then returned for food
which, being unable to land owing to
the deep snow, tbey managed to fling
to the Alpinists as they swooped down
•over the hut This performance was
repealed dally until the storms abated.

The roomy country house with that
air of solid permanence which makes
It seem an integral part of Its sur
roundings, is always attractive even
In these days of one-room apartments
and disappearing furniture. Its com
fortable'"llved-ln” atmosphere is rest
ful after the complexity and hurry of
the outside world and it offers a pleas
ant retreat for one wearied by the
bustle of the day’s activity.
Here^ Is a splendid example of such
a house. Sitting close to the ground
and with the long lines of the roof
sweeping down fo the low oaves. It
might well have grown where it Is
instead of being the handiwork of
man. The whole appearance gives an
impression of simplicity, while the
sun parlor entrance, the rounded
thatch effects of rite eaves and the
arch over the front entrance pleasant
ly relieve the otherwise somewhat
severe lines, j^nd the side walls are
softened by shingles laid wide to the
weather. s
Tliis house affords more room than
could he luid with a bungalow hut the
cost of wall construction is kept down
by the drop of the roof at the front.
In the rear a‘ dormer construction
increases the second floor space and at
the same time presents an interesting
study in roof lines. The regular rec
tangular shape affords the greatest
space at the least cost. Concrete
areas at the rear provide light for the
basement laundry In spite of the low
placing of the bouqf.
The front entrance admits one'to a
central hall with open stairs to the
second fl<»or. This hall separates the
living mom, and sun parioV from the
dining room and kitchen on the other
side of the building. The ratherjarge
living room is connected the sun
parlor by folding French doors with'
the rasnft that this is vlrtnsUy one
large room across the entire side of
the house. From the sun parte- there
t a handy side eatrai&e rtachud by a
step. T'be living room centers around
an open fireplace flanked by bullt-ln
bookcases..
Directly across from the living
room Is the dining rboxn, which la
planned to secure s maximum of sun
light and Is conveniently connected
with the kitchen by a serving pantry.
This pantry affords extensive cup
board and shelf space. There is a
stair leading from the kitchen to the
basement as well* as another from the
back porch.
Off of the kitchen and connected
with it by a door, Is a breakfast room,
a feature which adds a pleasing touch
of luxury and convenience. A second
door opens from this breakfast room
Thlb the central hall and Just beside
it is a large coat closet.
The unusual amount of closet space
In this house Is striking evidence that
it was planned to please women. On
the upper floor there are five more
closets to serve Jhe thr£e bedrooms.
One of the latter is a large room di
rectly over the living room. It Is
provided with a large closet and a
separate bath. Another bath serves
(he other two bedrooms, which are
smaller but of adequate size to per
mit the convenient arrangement of
furniture.
Color Ideas Come From
Mother Nature’s Garden
A designer for a clolh manufacturer
developed one of the most successful
patterns his house ever put on—from'
studying the tones of color in a piece
j of decaying wood. A painter and dec
orator, hard pat to get a color idea
for a bedroom whose o<5cupam wanted
something different, at last went out
side and picked a wild rose. The petal
gave him an idea: light creamy yellow
for the woodwork; a pink for the
walls. “ *
Those who like thst sged effect In
glass known as Tiffany ware, and wish
lr developed as a decorative adjunct
in the colorings and finishings of other
parts of the house, need nor he dlv

the window; the beetle scurrying
across the garden walk; the tnrtlt-

record of service to car owners.
_ \
Firestone factories have
grown from a small building
approximately 75 x 150 feet
to mammoth plants having
floor area of over 60 acres—
from a capital of $50,000 to over
$50,000,000—from an annual
sales volume, of $100,000 to
over $100,000,000—all in the
short period of 25 years.
If you would like to know
more of this wonderful record,
ask your Firestone dealer to
send you an illustrated folder.
With today’s high cost of
crude rubber and other raw
materials, Firestone’s oppor

never better, due to its great
volume and special advanta
