Atlantic City's
Surf Warns Up

Highest Point Since Records
Were Kept-Hotel
Arrivals.

resorts summer patronage will begin TO
reach its zenith with this week end.
The great army of vacation sojourners
and all summer visitors that annually
makes this city its objective has goodly
representation tonight and will be aug
mented materially in the next ten days.
Atlantic City entertains all sorts of
conventions. but early In the week 1t
was the Mecca of one that was unin-
vited and unwelcome. This was the
meeting of the Ancient Order of Jersey
'Skeeters and 1t had many thousands of
delegates. It is the proud boast of At
lantic City that it has no mosquito
problem. The county appropriates $685.
900 for mosquito determination pur-
poses every year. and the result Is that
there is no local unpleasantness from
the pests. A corps of inspectors Is en-
ployed to go about the city In quest OF
stagnant pools. even in rear yards. and
this service. coupled with the major
work of dredging marshes and treating
the bitches along the lines that were
adopted by Gen. Gorgas In the Canal
Zone. makes the resort virtually Inn
mune from mosquito worries.
But while the local mosquito has been
vanquished. there can be no immunity
from the marsh variety that flies forty
five miles on the wind from counties
where the work of mosquito extermina-
ton has not been given the attention
that Atlantic City has accorded it. On
an Ill wind that blew nobody good came
a myriad of the busy insects several
nights ago, and many sojourners here
for the first time were given an unfa-
vorable impression Of Atlantic City as
summer habitat. Those mosquitoes
were not Indigenous to the Atlantic City
soil they were visitors. The occur
renee was the first of it's kind in several
years.

est Boardwalk palace. continues to at
