left into Fourth street, anE the Penus
Grove ferry over the Delaware River -
in sight. You take this ferry across 10
Penns Grove, and once more are on your
way to Atlantic City, sixty miles distant.
The first twenty-four miles of mis- road,
as far as Franklinville, is good dirt road
From there on 1t is good gravel. over
which you can travel as fast as may suIt
your wishes.
Some people prefer to make the trip
going via Philadelphia and crossing over
to Camden, then down the White Horse
pike This route is some forty-odd miles
longer and besides makes it necessary
to pass through two thickly populated
cities in addition to congested suburban
territory.
If one tires of Atlantic City and wants
TO see some of the other Jersey coast
resorts, which by the way are well worth
visiting. they can motor on down the
coast to Ocean City. 1t. too. is built on
an island, but unlike Atlantic City. which
is more Of q transient town, Ocean City
is distinctly a city of homes. For sew
eral miles along the ocean front there
are many beautiful villas. mostly the
homes of Philadelphia business men who
during the heated season of the year
commute.
Continuing on down the coast, there
is Sea Isle City, and still further down
is Stone Harbor Beyond is wildwood,
and down where the coast of Jersey
loses itself IN the Delaware Bay is Cape
May. quite a resort for Washington peo-
pie.
For those who want TO motor home. II
is only necessary to retrace their route
as far as Sesville, where a road can
be taken that leads up through Tuckahoe,
Port Elizabeth, BridgetoR, Quinton, sa-
lem and on into Penns Grove and thence
across the ferry to Wilmington and once
more on the homewsrd route.

through clever architectural effects. and the
two combined make up one of the most
beautiful structures along the Great Wooden
Way. Chief among the features Of the new
structure will be the roof garden restaurant
above the top floor. capable of seating 900
people.
A new cafe and lounge room as COM
plete as any in the country has been installed
in the lower exchange of the new structure
as a companion attraction to the roof gar
den. In the old building. also. have been
installed new furniture and carpets through
out, with paintings and other accessories
that produce an unusually harmonious and
pleasing effect Patrons of the roof garden
will be able to see for many miles over the
ocean, so great is the height, and as this is
the only attraction of its kind along the
Boardwalk. there is every reason to believe
that it will be literally patronized.

THE old and new Hotel Rudolf to be
known hereafter as The Break
y ers," will throw open its great "
story addition June Is, and more
than ST 100000 has been expended on the
structure since work was commenced at the
close of the 1915 season. The extensive
improvements planned for the old Rudolf
were completed in December, and the struc-
ture which has attained such great popularity
among those who express a preference for
the upper section of the beach proved to be
a revelation to its former patrons. The
lobbies were enlarged and redecorated, the
dining-room was increased to a capacity of
400, French windows opening on large
verandas were installed in the exchanges,
and the entire building was repalnted to
harmonic with the new addition then well
under way.
Elaborate and artistic as were these i'm
provements, however, they have been sur
passed in the luxurious appointments of the
new building, which is now so near compile
ton. Both structures blend harmoniously

LOCAL RAILROADS PREPARING ID MEET
 STRIKE SITUATION
Embargoes Placed on Ger tain Classes of Freight to Be Effective This
 Week

Local railroad officials and repre-
 sentativesi of the brothedhoods are prac-
 tically unanimous in the belief that the
 brotherhoods of railroad men will
 strike Monday morning at o'clock,
 eastern time. This will mean o'clock
 Monday morning in Birmingham.
 Preparations are being made by the
 railroads in anticipation of the strike
 to facilitate the operation of the trains
 as much as possible. The consensus of
 opinion among railroad men is that in
 the event of a strike not wheel will
 be turned for from "A to AS hours.
 All railroads have placed embargoes
 on perishable freight, effective between
 now and Saturday night. The Frisco
 embargo is effective now and no
 freight of any kind will be taken to-
 day except perishable, live stock and
 explosives, and that only on condition
 that it will reach it's destination by tomorrow at noon.
 All the other embargoes on the dif- ferent lines are virtually the same. All railroads operating out of this city have also received notification not to sell any sleeping car tickets to des- | tinations reached by sleeping cars aft CT a. m. Monday.
 I E. D. Levy, general manager of the 1 Frisco lines, in communication to J.. H. Doughty, local agent. declared that all men belonging to the union who re-
 n1ained loyal to this company would be given the utmost protection and nothing will be permitted to interfere with their l position or seniority, regardless of the result of the strike.
 It is announced that some of the rail- roads are making prepara tions to replace 1 the union men with others at the time 1, the walkout comes. Advertisements have appeared in the local papers inviting men | to enroll for service.
 l The points in controversy between the | railroads and the men are very intricate l and the average layman has difficulty in {, understanding just what either sides con- l tentions are. Railroad officials claim that 1 the demands of the men will mean an in- crease in wages of from % to 40 per cent, while the brotherhoods say this is not true. The employees claim that the | whole proposition of the brotherhood is | that the eight-hour day means eight hours work for the men engaged in yard work and minimum speed basis of 121s miles 1 per hour for those employed in road l freight service.
 | The railroad officials say that the eight hour day will mean the tearing up and l replacing of terminals at other points at | a cost of millions of dollars in addition to the wage increase.

ann,ied will learn of the sincerity Of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile Tn desiring that one of the points be chosen.
 ARE NOT DISSENTING
 That reviewing body need suffer no em- ba rassment because each city asks the nr,vilege of being heard in presenting such facts as may be valuable in deter mining the location of the bank. We are not dissenting among ourselves just pe- cause each believes that it's own point contains some favorable advantages for the establishment of a federal land bank to serve this district Each city wants the bank, to be sure. but our larger WIS., iou in behalf of the state of Alabama is none the less clear on account of our respective aspirations. It has more re- gently developed that nearly every state has two Or more cities asking for con sderation in this matter. After all, is 1t not indicative of q greater degree Of public interest within the confines of a single commonwealth, to have number of points within 1t seeking an unusual portion in the practical application of the machinery of the new law which is in- tended to provide capital Tor agricuiturai development to create a standard form of investment hnscd upon farm mort gages and to ci -.alize rates of interest upon farm loans? Will not this wider
 
 public interest appeal to the members of the federal farm loan board? We are confident of it and, therefore have come to the belief that Alabama need no longer apologize for having number of candidates for this important designa- ton.
 The Alabama citizen. in public or pri- vate life. may continue his interest in having federal land bank located in Alabama If he has good reason for being an adherent of one of the three cities, heecan further the chances of his state by exerting an influence in behalf of the city of his choice. If he is neutral in his feelings for these cities. he may urge a consideration of the claims of all of them. leaving to the judgment of the board. to which Is committed the task of selecting, as to which 1t shall be. It is in this spirit that Birmingham shall pre- sent her claims in the strongest possible manner. Our arguments will be for Ala bama and our own city. They will not be arguments against Montgomery and Mobile. We shall expect those cities to pursue q like course.
