THE WEEKS NEWS In PARAGRAPHS

The contract to build the furnace
pit, concrete foundation, and other
cement work of the new Holly Beach
passenger station of the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad Company, has
been awarded to the Seaboard Cement
Stone Company. The furnice pit will
be much larger than any water tight
compartments SO far constructed OIL
Five Mile Beach. This most difficult
work has been intrusted to the Sea-
board Cement Stone Company be-
cause of its success in the construction
of a similar compartment for the
Wildwood station. Work upon the
new Holly Beach station will begin
at once.
The tenant houses being erected on
the corner of Young and Holly Beach
avenues, for real estate agent Oliver

walking a Lost Art.

Time was when everybody walked
and thought 1t no disgrace. For then
walking was only a degree slower
than the quickest means OF locomo-
ton. and by that token respectable.
But who thinks OF walking now? II
you go into shoeshop where 30 styles
OF fine footgear are offered. you won't
find a shoe you could walk Z mile in
without being crippled. and though
you call for the best grade OF stock
ings, they are worn through the first
time you put them on n you go afoot.
Nobody who Is anybody is expected 20
walk any more. The trolleys and the
devil wagons have made walking in
tolerably slow. and the alrships. when
they come. will doubtless abolish II
for good and all. And that is prog
ress. The voice which clamors for
stockings that will wear or shoes that
are easy t. voice out or the past,
the echo OF dead traditions.-Llfe.
