Woman Has All
N The Advantage
... From Getting a Haircut to Col

- By YL C. Test
„ Sometimes - I wish I was---or
were—a woman. Somehow, wo.
men appear to have so much more
fun.
Take the apparently simple
mat£er of a haircut. Deciding to
have my scant locks shorn a bit,
I drift into a barber shop, listen
to the expression of the barber
on the topics of the day, accept
any sort of a bizarre hair trim
ming decided upon by the barber,
pay for the job and depart. Fur
me the matter of securing a hair
cut begins and ends in thdt
barber’s chair. ■>
Not so a woman. Suppose a
maid or matron evolves the idea
of having her nair bobbed. Does
she dodge ,off ,-to barber or hair
dresser and have the job done?
She does not. First she must
_ consult family, friends, neighbors
and any others within reach con
cerning the matter. Already she
may have decided in fter heart to
join the ranks of the bobbed, but
she does not say so. Indeed, she
. has all the fun of listening to
opinions from all sides, securing,
it may be, a lot of entertainment
out of the process of, weeding out
the false from the true voice of
friendship and classifying with
true feminine instinct those.who
. hope that she will look' like a
fright when she has t taken the
bobbing plunge.
her fun does not end with the
bobbing. " There > remains the
thrilling experience of hearing
neighborhood opinion concerning1
. the matter of possible improve-'
ment in her appearance. When I
/ get one of these modern haircuts
for men all I get is-a series of
laughs; when a woman gets a
haircut she has the satisfaction
of receiving encomiums by the
peck and the interesting job of
decision as to how many words
of praise are expressions of
honest opinion and how many are
merely catty means of covering

^metaphorical “jieedles” as soon as
she is out of hearing:

PACKARD TAXI SERVICE j
Venlnor Observes
Memorial To Harding
^Traffic Halts, Services Are Held
and Mayor Issues Proclama
tion. Stores Close for Inter
vals and Banks For All
Day
All Ventnor, uniting with the
rest of the nation, paid its last
reverential tribute yesterday to
the late Warren G. Warding,
former president of the United
Stages. Besides the impressive
services held in most of the local
churches practically all of the
places of business were closed
for all or part of the time. All
social activities were canceled. or
postponed to another date.
Motion, human and vehicular,
was stopped at eleven o’clock. At
this time every person in Vent
n'or, regardless of creed or de
nomination, stood with bowed
head and made an offering of
prayer to the Almighty while the
dead President awaited his final
resting place in the little ceihe
tery at Marion, Ohio. The scene
of Ventnor, quiet and still, in
reverence for the burial of War
ren G. Harding, was one of the
most memorable incidents in the
history of the city. .
Acting Mayor Carleton E.
Adams, issued a proclamation re
questing that Friday be solemnly
observed as a day of mourning.
The City Hall, draped in black,
and with its flag at half mast,
was closed the entire day. Both
of the banks had their doors shut
to business. The Amusement
Publishing Co., publishers of the
Ventnor News, closed its plant
at eleven o’clock.
The Friday evening dancq held
■weekly on the Ventnor Casino
and Pier was canceled out of re
spect for the burial of the dead
president. The elaborate card
party planned by the members
of the Colony Club of Ventnor
for Friday afternoon was post
poned and will be held this Mon
day. And '.in every respect
Ventnor assumed an atmosphere
of solemnity and gravity that
was a' fitting memorial to_War
ren G. Harding on the day of
his burial.
Margate Finances Excellent
Margate City enjoys excellent
financial prestige according to re
ports made at a meeting of the
Sinking Fund Commission last
Thursday afternoon. The' Com
mission includes Mayor Risley,
City Commissioner Norcross, Al
bert M. Freas, Lorenzo Bye and
Julian'Ireland. Election of C. K.

boy who had wandered from his
home, was found Thursday after
noon by Mr$. Joy, 4925 Win

over to Chief Frings. After mak
ing inquiry at the Annapolis Ave
nue fire house, Morris Zeitman,
the,boy’s brother, came for him
and took him to his home at 4134

Impressive Memorial Services, conducted by Rev.
Dr. Louis E. Wein, of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church
of Atlantic City, and Charles Scheuer, President of
the Amusement Publishing Company, were'held in the
plant of the company which publishes the Ventnob :
News yesterday in honor -of the mtaoro of the late
President Warren G. Harding. Both office staff and
mechanical force attended the ceremonia) held when v
the Amusement Publishing Company plant was closed at
11 A. M. as mark of respect to the dead chieftain of
the nation. In his opening prayer, Dr. Wein said
in part: “Out of the depths of toil and strife the
entire world seeks the peace which the world cannot
give but which now has come to a man who was a
great leader and a great man. Rising from the rafriks
of those who toil to the greatest position of power wi
the world Warren G. Harding has been an inspiration
and a blessing. May Thy mercy descend upon the
loyal wife who stood a bulwark of strength to aid
the-man who held the fate of nations in his hand;
grant her Thy peace. And upon him now in high
office may Thy benediction come that he may lead
this nation to new and higher things."
The following splendid tribute to the late President,
a close personal friend, was paid by Charles .
Scheuer:
“Warren G. Harding belonged to us all. The hand
of fate suddenly has swept him from the checkerboard
of life; bu\ it is not the end. He has returned, some
where. He iived bravely and to much good purpose.
Achievement was with him e'ven unto death. As time
rolls on, we will find that what he said and did were
but effects the cause of which not only contains the
secret of his genius, but is his real and enduring legaey
to humanity.
“He lived a balanced life, full of love, joy, harmony,
rhythm, proportion, poise, and last but not least,
understanding. The measure of a man is not, Ts he' 1
labeled this or that,’ but is, ‘Is he just,’ and by this
measure Warren G. Harding was a whole man and
having found peace within, he pointed the way of
peace to all mankind."
... Charles Seheiier then presented the following
poem: V '
THE PASSING OF PRESIDENT HARDING
It may have been that in your singing
A discord lingered, now and then;
But through your life, as music ringing,
Comes clear and true your love for men.
One would ask for rhythm sweeter
To equal this fair theme’s demands;
I’m sure you’ll smile at gbod Saint Peter
And just shake hands.
The services closed with singing of “Nearer My
God To Thee,” and benediction pronounced by Dr.
Wein. ' > >

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Publisher of tjie VENTNOR NEWS announces with
regret necessity of discontinuing the special Saturday illus
trated section of this publication. Tremendous demand for
the issues already published containing the pictures of promi
nent residents and visitors snapped on "the bathing beaches
has entirely exhausted the supply of fine “coated” paper
necessary to do justice to the photographs when presented as
etchings. As the particular brand of paper cannot be dupli
cated to reach the ventnor News office of publication in time
for the two remaining issues of the special edition planned,
it has been deemed wise to discontinue this section for the
present season.
