A False Alarm
Turning In a falae alarm U, or at
least should be, regarded m a terloua
offense.
Apparently there are a feW lame
brains in Camden with a moronic
test of things unlawful and dangerous.
The Chronicle takes this occasion
to suggest to Mayor F. N. McCorkle
and the members of the city
council that some action be taken to
put a stop to this pastime of hoodlum?.
- This comment Is prompted by the
turning In of a false alarm of lire |
from the residential section of the
city a few days ago. It so happened
that rain had been falling, creating a
driving hazard. Fire apparatus is
obliged to maintain speed In responding
to an alarm. Motor apparatus of
any kind when traveling at a speed of
40 or 45 miles an hour over a wet
pavement Is dynamite In the event of
a skid. Why create a menace Just
for the moronic thrill of soolng the
bright red Are trucks dash over the
boulevards.
Every time the flro apparatus
loaves the Are station iu response to
a call, It moans an outlay of money
wfhlch ' comes from the pockets of
Mr. Taxpayer. There Is the added
wear and tear on tho apparatus, there
Is the consumption of gas and oil,
there l? the ever-present danger of a
real Are getting a good start when
the Are company Is chasing around
because of the act of some simpleminded
moron. ;
In a northern Michigan community
where several of those moionlc mind
rd Individuals resided, the city fathers
solved the problem by offering a
cash reward of $50 for the Identity
of the fnlseatarm boys. There was
always some member of the gang,
whose avarice was aroused by the opportunity
to cash 1 ti by squealing, ITie
vest was easy.
The Chronicle suggests a similar
plan here. If the reward results .in_
the arrest and punishment of tho
false-alarm moron, it will bo money
well spent.

Sims Memorial Hospital at Lancaster.

Perth., team with Ben Forney, a
No. 2 player from the same clufb, played
with Charlie DuBose and Joe Bate*
of the Cpol Springs quartet and In
the early stages of the game looked
certain winners.
This group garbed In ths yellow
silks ran up three points before the
blue of Mulberry registered. The
first chukker was scoreless for both
sides, but In the second Bates opeued
the counting with a free shot that was
good. Robertson added a second. At
the start of the third chukker Bates
scored. It was not uhtll the close of
the third chukker ittut Burns began
to get his target eye working. He
scored In the third, fourth and fifth
and another shot In the fifth stopped
a few Inches from pay dirt and In the
scrimmage that followed the ponV |
kicked the willow home. Carl Lightfoot.
playing a hangup game at Nq.
2 for Mulberry, udded a score In the
fifth for good measure.
Probably the most striking feature
of the game was the breaking of the
Seaboard train Jinx which has beset
the polo field for some forty or more
years?according to the story told by
Home of the oldsters. It was claimed
that In the forty-odd years polo players
wore In action there has not been
a single Instance where the polo players
were In action when the Seaboard
northbound passenger train passed
over the western end of the polo area.
But Thursday the riders were hard
at It when the clioo choo roared past.
Aiid in the wo^gs of Postmaster O. P.
DuBose, "that's that."

Citizen Says Census
Taker Missed Family
A lateral appeal has bun
prominent reside/it# of the city to the
general pubU^to Cooperate 'In the
taking of tlt^MO ceuaua by 'reporting
to the HlmW of commerce. If
any have beeu missed by the census
enumerators.
Henry Savage, Sr., In a meaaage to
the chamber of commerce stated that
If there are many luatancea similar to
the one In his own home the Onmden
census will be shy by many hundreds
of registrants. <fr. Savgj;? stated
that whereas there are six people In
hla dwelling, but one has been recorded
by the ceuaua canvasser.
'That la but 16 per cent of the total
and If there are many other aimliar
Instances -Camden la going to
show a falling off In population," aald
IVfi*
The dhamber also reports getting a
notice from a colored .family residing
near the Kirk wood hotel property to
the effect that no one has been canvassed
in the family.
The..chamber of commerce has announced
that reports of people being
missed by the enumerators should be
made to the chamber of commerce at
'once, phone 67, and the chamber will
I see that the censug board Is informed
of the mlaaes.
"CAN YOU THINK?"
An official report made public Mon-1
day shows that one-third of the total
population of New York City received
"relief" In some form or other In
the past six years.
Also the cost of this "relief" was
over two billion dollars. And this two
billion dollars was not plucked off
bushes. Money does not grow that
wuy.
That is for those of you who pay
the taxes for meeting the appropriations
for sdch bills.
Can you think?
If you can, how long do you think
the American people as a whole can
continue to feed and "keep up" one
third of the population of the big cities?
These cities, most of them, dre
broke. They are lip to all legal limits
as to borrowing.
Yet they cannot quit, cannot dissolve.
Property valires depend on
keeping their populations.
But can the rest of the country always
carry this load on Its back?
