American Women Most
Pracb’cal On Earth
“American women are the
most practical, women on earth,”
is the statement of Mr. H. J. Mul
lahy, of the Cantilever Shoe
Store. “Their keen sense of val
ues and practical suggestions," he
explained yesterday, “have open
ed the eyes of American manu
facturers to vast new markets,
suggested new uses for their prod
ucts, and brought to their atten
tion many hidden values in their
goods.
“Take the glassware business
—>it was a woman who first sug
gested that glass could be used
for baking utensils. Then again
it was a woman who wrote to the
manufacturer of a certain soap
powder sold for washing clothes
that it was splendid for washing
the dishes as it did not harm the
hands. It also was a woman who
brought to the attention of the
manufacturers of the Cantilever
flexible arch shoe—that this shoe
had another feature besides its
comfort and corrective qualities
—namely, the flexibility of the
arch kept the heel from rubbing
against thev stocking, conse
quently was a big saver of hos
iery bills.”
Mr. Mullahy contends that
American women are extremely
practical—good buyers, and seem
to discover, intuitively, hidden
values in merchandise.

Senator Frelinkhnysen
Is Lions’ Club Speaker
Officers To Be Installed at Dinner
To Be Given at Linwood
Country Club Tonight
In a forceful speech that cover
ed various phases of the political
history of the nation during and
after Harding’s administration,
Senator Joseph Frelinhuysen ad
dressed the regular weekly gath
ering of the Lions’ Club at the
Hotel Breakers last Wednesday.
After thanking President All
man for,the privelege offered of
speaking before the Lions’ group
which included among its dis
tinguished guests, Henry W.
Leeds, the Senator stated that his
talk might be given under the
title of “Obligations of Citizen
ship.”
“I might say duties to' one’s
country, service to the nation and
loyalty as well as the opportunity
of each and every citizen to take
part in the /government comes
under that title.
‘‘I was in the Senate during the
war period and observed the atti
tude of the men who were called
to serve, and it might be interest
ing to know how near this country
was to disaster at that time, but
I am not going to make a political
speech, merely will point out the
problems that Harding had to cope
with at the time when he came
into office.”
Telling how a spirit of restless
ness prevailed when President
Harding went into office with 4,
000,000 men out of employment,
securities and Liberty Bonds de
preciating, a great army unde
mobilized and the country on the
brink of disaster, the Senator also
spoke upon the question of taxes,
discussing the Mellon plan, which
he stated was, in his opinion, the
most effective, until it was mixed
up with politics and Congress at
tempted to improve upon the work
of experts.

a constructive mind, the problems I
•were met by the administration
and met with the best results, in
cluding the establishing of a bud
get system that the country did
not possess, the speaker pointed
out the alarmingly small percent
age of those who exercises the
privelege of franchise giving sta
tistics to show the laxity of voters
in New Jersey in particular.
Radicalism as a vital problem
to be met by the people of the
country today was brought out in
the Senator’s talk through strik
ing illustrations of conditions ex
isting in parts of the United
States at present, while a direct
appeal to the Lions’ Club as a
civic body with the words, “The
people get no better government
than they desire,” concluded the
strong address.
The regular luncheon will not
held at the Breakers this after
noon with a special dinner mark
ing formal installation of officers
to take place this evening at the
Linwood Country Club instead.
“My entrant for the laziest
man in the world is Bill Spivens,
who bought a Lizzie so he
wouldn’t have to shake the ashes
off his cigar.”
Firemen Use Gas Masks
to Fight Ventnor Fire
Ventnor firemen were com
pelled to use gas masks when ex
tinguishing a fire that broke out
in the basement of the two-story
frame dwelling owned by William
H. York, 105 S. Frankford Ave.,
last week.
The fire, which resulted in dam
age amounting to approximately
?2000, was one of the most stub
born that the Ventnor Fire De
partment has encountered for
some time. Gas escaping from
a gas pipe melted by the flames
flooded the upper part of the
house, and Captain Stuart od
dered his men to don gas masks
before entering.

John’s-by-the-Sea Church, Sacra
mento and Ventnor Aves., will be
