efforts to eliminate every condition

falls below this figure, with about 20

feelinu The Moon'a Pulse.

That the moon is not the rigid solid
body that has been believed, but that
1t is subject to periodic pulsations, is
the discovery recently set forth by the
astronomer r. Puiseuy before the
French Academy Of Sciences. 1t would
be impossible to describe here the
elaborate method by which he ascer-
tained this fact. Sufficient to say that
his discovery is based upon study Of
photographs Of the moon taken at the
Paris observatory from 1904 to 1909.

OCEAN CITY, new JERSEY,
A PROSPEROUS DRY CITY
Steady Growth for Thirty-six Years Without a
Saloon in the City-Now Complete City
with Electric Lights, Gas and Water

Ocean City had a great start. and
Ike a good text, that is a big help to
successful results. Yes, Ocean City
was q big, robust, healthy out-of-doOrs
baby. Hygienically pure and free from
artificial stimulants. it just grew.
There never was such a baby on the
South Jersey coast, and everybody
was interested in its diet and bringing
up. and there were quite a few who
firmly believed that no baby could
thrive who wasn't raised on the bot
tie. And so ours was quite an expert
ment to them. But, pshaw, it never
even felt the need of a bottle, and
naturally 1t grew just so much faster
and sturdier. and. like the Hebrew
children, had a roster. healthier cOun-
tenance, and more Drawn than older
competitors on the Old-time diet. Then,
soon the doubters got wise to the
situation and concluded the baby was
doing fine and had every chance for
q great future. So they, too, came
and helped in many ways. Still there
was enough contention over it to de-
yelop its moral and physical strength,
and to establish self-COnfidence, and
today, in the perfection of young
manhood, 1t is bigger. healthier and
wealthier than some others old
Thirty-tive years ago the projectors
Of Ocean City started on the prOpo-
sition of making the desert blossom
as the rose. Everyone who views its
delightful development can Judge how
far success has rewarded the efforts.
Ocean City's assessed valuation Is
now nearly nine million dollars, and is
made up largely from values in de
hghtful cottage homes such as few
other resorts can boast of. 1t is par
excellence the City of Summer Homes,
occupied by their owners whose chief
ambition is to get the maximum OF
clean enjoyment out Of the invest
ment. To introduce Ocean City to
new frieAds there are quite a NUM-
Der OF attractive cottages, bungalows,
and paTtments for rent at very rea-
SON . rates, in desirable locations,
eXpCI fence having shown that usual
~ one years renting makes an owner
Of his own home for the second.
As Ocean City was put on the wa
ter wagon right from the start for a
peTmanency, II has been the great
object of its government to secure the
very finest quality of that liquid, and
the artesian flow which supplies its
many homes is the purest chemically,
of any water supply on the coast.
The unique and ideal location Of
tiOn Of prime Importance in the resort
economy OF this State. 1t Is the CEN
ter Of the stage as things stand to-
day. and in close touch with each Of
the other beaches, coming by train
or auto. You have all the Cape May
resorts to the south, and all the others
on he north, with good railroad and
frst-class auto connections.

Hotel Columbia.

The Hotel Columbia was purchased
by the present owners in the autumn
of 1918, and was, during the winter of
l9l3-l4. entirely remodeled and i'm
proved-rebuilt-at very large ex-
penditure. New electric elevator, new
electric lighting and water pumping
plants were installed. and baths. hot
and cold, were placed in various loca-
tiOns in the hotel, so that there are
private baths for each suite of rooms.
new modern steam-heating appara-
tus has been installed for the fall.
winter and spring seasons.
The location OF the hotel Is most ex-
cellent. From the broad and we'll
shaded plaza there is a view OF the
broad Atlantic Ocean, from which are
waited before the breezes cooling sa-
line ozone. To get the benefit of this
health giving and refreshing comfort
each room is admirably arranged.
In addition we have a dairy, with a
herd of pure stock Jersey cows, and
our milk and cream are as pure as
can be found. Our herd is inspected
by the health department of the State
Dairy. Commission. regularly, and we
have a pride in our farm stock.

ability in its citizens OF a very high
order. and its city government de-
mands the very highest efficiency IN
every department. and especially in
the public utilities. The result is, the
best lighted city in the State a sew

plant
1t is a popularity of Ocean City's
beach that. no matter where your
home may be located there are the
same excellent bathing privileges and
equal safety as at any other point on
the seven miles Of ocean front. and
the protected bathing grounds extend
the whole distance.
The lavish hand with which nature
eEYironed Ocean City makes. and will
ever make, the most delightful setting
for this home city resort. The big
sweep Of Great Egg Harbor on the
west, with the background of ever
green pines and the green savannahs
studded IN between. is a revelation
liShtfully with the sentiment and
policy of Ocean City's moral standard.
Great Egg HarbOr is a land-lOcked
sheet OF water lying from north to
west OF Ocean City about seven miles
in length by two to three in breadth
1t receives the waters OF three rivers,
running between wooded banks from
the southwestern water shed of the
State. Every fisherman will recoG-
nize these conditions as ideal, for the
only sport they know. while the sail
Ors, rOwers. and paddlers find every
attraction for their enjoyment Along
the Ocean City Shore of this bay are
scores of the most attractive boat
houses and bungalows. Tourists rum
ming the Inland Waterway" route
will find the channels well marked
through these waters and get a view
of Ocean City strong enough to make
a visit of investigation a necessity
and pleasure.
The city's music pavilion Is a unique
feature of this resort. Herein are
given daily concerts in the afternoons
and evenings by Harrison'S famous
band. employed by the city.
1t is very noticeable to anyone con-
vCrsant with local conditions that
every seaside resort has special
phase OF attraction to which it loves
to call attention and to which it de-
votes itself more forcibly than any
other. Ocean City's greatest claim
for popular recognition lies in its deep,
fun and pervading moral atmosphere,
free from the evil influences Of alco-
hOl by compulsory enactment at the
start-its tone has been elevated very
much above normal conditions and the
sanCtity OF the Sabbath has fortified
civil code, bringing the patronage of
the best classes of every community
to her shores, because OF these con-
genial conditions.
The visitor will find within the bor-
ders OF Ocean City about sixty miles
of splendid highways, where automo-
billing is a delight. tennis courts of
up-tO-date construction. and attractive
croquet grounds. The Ocean City
