would buy bonds, and when Liberty

offered that; no one had to take his

anyone had right to buy bond for

The season of Coney lslanding, step
ping along with summer, is swiftly
moving to a close. On Labor Day,
September 2, the gates at Coney will
close upon a season that for splendor
was unrivalled by any of the % sum
mer seasons that were before, Gin
cinnati, as a wartime city with va
cationists who are stay-at-home va
cationists, found Coney Island and is
continuing to find Coney Island as
the one best bet in this section of the
country.
The millionaires and the million
airesses along with the heirs and
heiresses to millions and additionally
the shopgirl and shopman, housewife
and college girl heretofore thought of
faraway places and train rides in con-
nection with vacation days as absolute
necessities to vacation days. The
June and July vacationists discovered
that Coney Island is the equal and in
most cases, the superior of any out-of-
town resort and the August vacation
lists are learning the same thing.
1T is the heighth of folly" said
Miss Rosella Arnold, of Chicago, one
of the most brilliant singers in the
theatrical world, "to consider the dis
tant places as vacation places in these
hurried days of railroad traffic. 1t
certainly is not comfortable on the
trains, these hot days, nor is it patri-
otic to be taking up space that should
