cafe life.
July visitors will find the cup that
cheers has increased in value along
with lot Of other commodities This
is especially true of whisky. A glass
of beer still costs the same, but the
size Of the glass has diminished.
Aviation school Opened.
Aviation Is going to be one of the
chief industries at the shore. A new
company has been formed, with Glen
II. Curtiss, president. to operate the
Curtiss Flying Station of Atlantic
City, the object of which Is to train
students for aviation service in the
war. B. H. Kendrick, whose aero
planes have flown over the sea here
for several years, is vice president
and general manager. Ten students
are now enrolled In the aviation
school, and in six weeks will prob
ably be qualified to Join the aviation
corps of the United States army. In
cidentally, war fees are now charged
to carry passengers in the air The
bargain rate of a dollar a minute
has been increased to SIS for a quar-
ter of an hour flight.
A round of festivities In aid of the
American Red Cross characterized
life at the shore this week. Chief of
these was the Red Cross ball given
on the Garden Pier Friday night.
Several hundred people enjoyed the
various folk dances of the allies, one
of the big features of the ball, which
netted a large sum for the Red Cross.
Another profitable undertaking was
engineered by Mrs. Joel Hillman, who
was captain of a hundred pretty girls
in Red Cross uniforms, selling fiow-
ers along the walk. Bridge clubs
gave up their prizes this week, and
donated the money to the Red Cross.
Various hotels arranged diversions
that helped to raise the fund.
Municipal Market Planned.
Atlantic City women are going to
help solve the high cost of living by
opening a municipal market. This de-
cision is the result of a tour they
made of the farms of Atlantic County.
where they found the farmers ship
ping their produce to the big city
markets at very little profit, to be
reshipped to this city and sold at ex-
orbitant prices. They are now look
ing for a site for the market, and If
none is available they will hold an
open-air market in some public square
certain days of the week. Shore mer-
chants do not look at all kindly on
this new activity on the part of the
woman's service committe for home
defense; but the women, nevertheless,
have decided to see the matter
through, and II necessary they will
get up at in the morning and use
their own automobiles to carry the
truck to market.
Nearly all the pedestrians on the
Wooden Way are wearing badges oW-
ing to the large number of conVen-
tions in session during the week.
Girls continue to ply their knitting
needles, when out for a walk, and
1t is noticeable that they are not en-
gagged on war preparation, for they
are using yarns OF the gayest hues
that have no relation to war usage.
In spite of the war. Atlantic City
is looking forward to a banner sea
son. Samuel P. Leeds, president OF
the chamber of commerce expressed
the sentiment of that organization
when he said: ut has been Atlantic
City's experience that when the big
cities become torrid, tens of thous-
ands gravitate to the shore as mat
ter of habit. They will be more GER
tain to come this year, because they
will have more money to spend. one
Of the best signs for the season Is
that we now have more persons here
than were here on the corresponding
date a year ago.
