Completion Of Famous White

Celebrated.

Because of Atlantic City's wide
fame as healthful and glittering
playground, and for the further rea-
son that most everyone now and then
cherishes a desire to visit the re-
nowned seaside resort, there was
more than strictly local gladness ana
concern in the recent opening OF
splendid and modern new boulevard
between Philadelphia and the City

Following an address OF welcome
by Mayor Edward l.. Bader, of Allan

tableaux portraying the progress of
the State generally, and Atlantic City
particularly, from the early days
when only Indians roamed the Jersey
wilderness down to the present, with
its alluring panorama Of joyously
romping bathing girls disporting
Themselves upon the silver sands and
in the foaming surf.
simultaneously with the pageantry,
there was more or less speech-making
by many notables, and Atlantic City,
as host to the assembled thousands,
left nothing undone to make the &C.
casion a memorable one.
Automobiles were furnished free to
all visitors, and a tempting luncheon,

FARMER AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Make Farm Only q
Suburb and Land Has Increased
Greatly In Value.

The biggest booster for good roads
In the country today is the farmer.
A few years ago he felt that the por-
tion Of his taxes used In the construc-
tion Of permanent highways epre-
sented a benefit only to the motoring
tourist and the city automobile owner.
The farmer argued that he was pay
ing for their pleasures, and the result
was superstition against the good
roads movement. which, unfortunately,
has not as yet been entirely overcome
In some sections Of the country.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled In val
ue; when the merchandise for which
he has telephoned In the morning can
be delivered by noon OF the same day ;
when the market for his own produce
is brought hours nearer; when the
winter and Its following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-all this
because Of the improved highway
which makes his farm only a suburb,
as II were, of the nearest city-he
naturally becomes Woodworking
and hard-voting enthusiast for good
roads.-Leslle's.

Argonne post Of the American Legion
at st. Paul, Minn., was attending
school In the Kansas university when
his money ran out. A letter forwarded
TO him from his native state told
OF the work Of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education in Minneapolis.
Through disability incident to his
service as a flyer, he was entitled to
the Federal educational aid Without
sufficient funds to make the long trip,
nevertheless he set out to appear be-
fore the board.
Three days in box car, coal
gondola and the tenders OF three
passenger trains conveyed him to his
destination. Several fast changes Of
cars, unusual maneuvers and debates
with trainmen were necessary, but
the aviator came through smiling. One
mail clerk proved friendly, but that
train was bound for Chicago. After
two more trials he found bunk on
some coal and woke up the next
morning in the st. Paul yards.
Placing his case before the board,
he was classed "Section One" en-
titling him to tuition, supplies and
training pay until he completes his
course.

While friend wife Is enjoying her

a few jobs that he might as well get

the warm days are In the ofiing and

inspection and take the necessary
measures to put It In 6rst-class shape
for the summer use.
When II comes to overhauling a cal

clined to overlook the cooling system.
This Is a mistake, for there is nothing
more vital to efficient operation and
performance. At this time OF year ev-
cry car owner should give the cooling
system, including the radiator, water
jackets, hose and pump, a thorough
cleaning.
The best way to do this Is to drain
the water out of the car, then fill up
the radiator with q weak solution of
soda and water. Having done this, let
the engine run for ten minutes or so.
Then drain Off this liquid and replace
II with pure water. Again let the en-
gine run for few minutes and again
drain the car. You will then be ready
to fiil your radiator for regular use.
This is advantageous because II
cleans out the radiator, water jackets,
hose and pump thoroughly, freeing
them from deposits. especially those
left by anti-freezing mixtures used
during the winter. which, II allowed
to remain In the car. would probably
rot the hose and do other damage.
Taking this simple precaution not on.
