City's only amusement park. The big
thing that the new management is do
ing is giving everybody who comes
to the park a good time.
There are five bis hippodrome acts
that are knockouts in themselves, not
even considering the twenty-five other
big attractions, which are the best Of
their class anywhere in the country.
Now hero is something to keep
firmly in mind. Admission to the

An informal discussion on the pres.
ent live subject of the removal of the
county seat from Mays Landing TO At
lantic City was taken part in by those
favor1ng and opposing the change.
Although both affirmative and mega

the subject.

Auto Race Losers Buy Silk Flag.
Rev. J. w. Wainwright will deliver
a special Memorial Day sermon in the
M. Il. Church tomorrow, Sunday eve
ming, and has invited the following
local lodges, members of which will
attend in a body: Odd Fellows, Red
Men and Brotherhood of America.
The church will be appropriately dec
GRATED and music suitable to the &C.
casion will be rendered.
1t is expected a new silk American
flag will grace the front of the in
terror of the edifice. The flag was or
dered purchased by the male side of
the Sunday School, principally the
Mems Bible Glass, which lost out by
more than a 2 to / score to the female
side of the school in the second Lin
coin Highway auto contest inaugu-
rated last fall between the two sides
with the understanding that the los
ing contestants should buy a silk flag.
When the Sunday School highway
contest was started the male mem
bers selected the Ford car to repre-
sent them, while the females chose
the Packard, the winner of the first
race, which ended a year ago. Again
being the winner, the female side of
the school, especially the Ladies' Bible
Glass, is quite much pleased with the
results attained by the Packard.
Mileage points were scored each
Sunday by one or both cars, according
to which side had the largest number
present and gave the most collection.
Several Sundays one side would gain
by the lead in attendance, while he
other side benefited by giving he
largest Offering and vice versa. The
attendance record of both the males
and females each Sunday was COM
piled by computation on the basis of
the percentage of the enrolment of
each side.
Field Day a Great Success.
Many Present. All Pleased.
Last Monday was a big day in the
school life of Absecon, Linwood and
Northfield. 1t was the occasion Of the
ANNUAL field day exercises. which, this
year, were participated in unitedly by
the scholars of those three schools on

Of folly to deceive yourself or your
associates with regard to results
to be expected from this building.
Every estimate should be carefully
checked against known and proven
figures and conditions.
Unless a building is erected by q
large financial institution or insur-
ance company. some financing is
generally necessary. There are
many ways of financing,l but the
method in vogue in most States, ]
think. is through the sale of capital
stock and first mortgage placed on
the property or the sale of building
bonds.
Generally. after the financing is
fixed, the next step Is the prepara-
ton Of your detailed plans and spe-
cifications. At this point tits most
important that the owner and man
ager check up very carefully the
layout and specifications.
During construction the building
manager should be on the Job and
should be consulted in reference to
any changes in plans as approved.
In fact. no changes in plans should
be made without his being consult
ed and his views obtained. Here is
one Of the many individual stages
In the progress of an office building
for the manager to save an amount
equal to his SALARY or fee.

GIVES RULES FOR SUCCESS

Key to Problem, He

GIVES RULES. FOR SUCCESS

The law Of supply and demand ID
one Of the most important considera-
tions in the success Of an office
building. according to Charles e.
Horton. widely.known realty au-
thority.
The most important factor in con.
nection with the success Of an office
building IL the law Of supply and de-
mand. The question a conscientious
person should ask himself. before
launching bis enterprise is this-is
the location suitable for an office
structure? Is there, or will there be
a fair demand for space at the time
Of the completion of the building,
or will I be compelled to raid the
neighborhood buildings for tenants?
What will my location offer to
tenants beside the novelty of NOV
ing into a new building? Does the
city population and its general
growth justify this improvement?
All being answered in the affirma-
tive, you can proceed with the de-
velopment.
Let me state here, however. that
when a bank or other large finan-
cial institution has become inter-
ested in an improvement Of this
nature, 1t Is very encouraging and
usually comparatively smooth sail
ing for the owner from that point
forward.
SELECT ARCHITECT EARLY.
THE selection of an architect to
make preliminary plans is accom-
plished in the very earliest stages
of an enterprise. 1t 10 very i'm
portant in the selection of your
architect for the preliminary work
to use farsighted business judgment
because the architect who draws
your preliminary plans should be
one who designs your building.
and IT is always very much more
convenient and satisfactory IL one
is sure of his man at the start.

rienced building manager estimating
your income and expenses. At this

Many Housewives Victims Of
Diseases Due to Home
Arrangement.

The foremost woman specialists In
the American Medical Association
agree that about so per cent Of the
women who die Of disease are the
unnecessary victims Of strain OF
housework. 1t has been proven In
the laboratories set up by scientists
in the Department Of Agriculture
that IS per cent. Of the energy OF
housekeepers is wasted by the ar
ranRement of houses. especially IN
the kitchen. f.s
In all modern houses the Kitchens
should q properly arranged and
should illustrate to. the public the
value in health, of efficiency and In
telligence In the kitchen.
President Harding has said: "Tehrse
are 10000, 900 housekeepers In Amer
lea. For them the home Ii their in.
dustrial center az well as their place
of abode, and it is felt that alto
gether too little attention has been
paid to tightening the labors and
bettering the working conditions OF
these women" =.
A double drain board. costing less
than 81. will cut dishwashing half
in two. A sink the right height for
the houseworker saves strength. A
jitney wagon which can be wheeled
around the kitchen with necessary
eu uuipment and food saves many
| hours of labor In q week.
Removing the sill between the
dining room and kitchen so that a
tea.<cart may easily be run between
| the rooms cuts down the work Of
serving meals. Two shelves over
the kitchen sink, one shelf for the
kitchen stove, a rack within three
steps Of the stove. a high stool for
use at the kitchen table. a piece of
zinc on the top of the kitchen table
simple things like these save
miles of walking and many hours Of

hut TO cooperate with land owners,
and for that reason 1t will be en-
abled to have communities under

more communities near the same
