New Msmbers-Plans Nearly Per-
fected for the Drive.

Mainland Post, No. 81, of the
American Legion is completing
preparation for it's drive for a
permanent home, the drive to
start March 6. A building com
mittee has been appointed by
Commander Anthony ]. Corio,
consisting of Robert Cozens, Will
lam Biggs, Harry Davidson, Adel-
bert Adams, Corey Candy and
Clayton Ingersoll. Headquarters
will be established at some down
town point, and the drive opened
with parade in which there will
probably be three bands and other
music. Prominent men of the city
are endorsing the Legion drive
for funds for the new home.
At the joint meeting of the Lee
gion and Ladies Auxiliary a social
time was enjoyed with refresh
ments. Several new members
joined and the Legion adopted a
slogan, Every Member Get a
Member. A strong effort is go
ing to be made to get a 100 per
cent. membership by March list.
In the next couple of months dues
will be raised and entrance charg-
ed.
Members of the Post are pre-
pairing the 1926 edition of "Chien

Plans OF The
Railroads
Impending improvements ir
Service and Changes
in Routes.
Pleasantville Transfer

For some time there have been
many reports of impending i'm
provements by the railroad com
panies to the shore resorts. Prob
ably most OF these will not be rea-
lslized for maf1y years, but there is
a strong probability OF radical
change before long.
one of the most important pos
SibilitieS is the use of the high
speed lines over the Delaware
River Bridge for electric train
service out of the new Broad
Street Station to the shore. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has now a
franchise that permits it to run
an elevated structure or tunnel
from Broad Street Station down
Filbert street to the Delaware riv-
er.
Ocean City is asking for a short
line to save the roundabout route
that compels trains when close to
that resort to detour by way of
Sea Isle City. 1t is possible that
the Pennsy will continue to use
the Reading tracks from Tucka-
hoe to about Fifty-fifth street,
Ocean City, and at that point di-
vide trains so that one section
will go south to Sea Isle City and
points on the Stone Harbor
branch.
Connect at Pleasantvile.
The Pennsy now uses the Read
ing tracks from Winslow Junction
to Tuckahoe, and the change
would necessitate the use of but a
few miles more to save the long
present detour. There has been
some talk Of a branch from Ham
monitor south, and also the extern
sion OF the Atlantic City electric
line from Mays Landing to Ocean
City, but this does not seem like
ly, as the company has an electri-
fed road from Pleasantville to
Somers Point and Ocean City 1t
can use There is some authority
for predicting that the company
will connect UP the two roads at
Pleasantville so as to give through
train service to Ocean City in
stead of compelling passengers to
change cars at Pleasantville as at
present
The change to the trolley cars
which often are already crowded
with passengers has long been a
source of complaint that the Penn
sylvania Railroad says will be cor
rected at an early date. The re-
sorts south of Ocean City are ask
ing for later train service, both to
and from Philadelphia. Ocean
City and Atlantic City have practi-
cally the same late train service.

Cold Tea Trick
To Fool Thirsty
Used in Portland

PORTLAND. Dee. 30.-Thc old
time cold tea trick for fooling the
thirsty, which bobs up in Portland
from time to time, made its appear
ance here again this winter.
In these days when good liquor
costs real money, a bit of cold tea
in bottle with an imposing label
will sell for several dollars and
without much trouble, according to
LEGAL prohibition officers.
A record of sale shows that c.
NJ. Campbell, negro, sold two bot
ties of tea to pair of thirsty
scOfflaws in a downtown hotel. The
bottles bore labels of Canadian
whisky and were decked with a seal
and other trimmings. just as the
sale was made two prohibition
agents stepped in and arrested the
purchasers and seller.
Campbell later was released, the
dry agents admitting that the sale
of tea is no crime.

IMPROVEMENT
in RETAIL MEAT
INDUSTRY NEEDED

Need for improvements in retail
marketingl including better bust
ness methods in operating stores.
the use of adequate equipment and
refrigeration. Il reduction in labor
turnover, and the education of con
Sumers to a knowledge of grades of
meats. is urged by the department
Of agriculture following q survey of
the retail meat industry in 90 cities
over the United States.
Fifty per cent OF nearly 4.5OO
housewives declared that their deal
crs handled either the best or y
very good quality of meat. when as
a matter of fact only approximate
lv 9 per cent of the cattle slaughter
ed were probably of these qualities,
the department says.
The survey was made under an
appropriation especially for this
purpose. and was made in three
parts including methods and prae-
ticcs Of retailing meats; margins,
expenses and profits, and consumer
habits and preferences in the pur-
chase and consumption of meat.
OF the three groups, including
producer, distributor and consumer
the consumer is recognized as WELD
ing the strongest influence on pro-
duction and distribution. More de-
finite knowledge Of consumer pre-
ferences and buying habits is con-
sidered Of value as an aid in ad-
justing production and distribution.
The department urges stringent
enforcement of practical sanitary
regulations in connection with the
methods and practices of retailing
meats. Most cities have ordinances
governing sanitation, but in many
cases the department found that en-
forcement has not been made fully
effective. Adequate retail equip
mcnt and refrigeration, accounts
and careful bookkeeping, and tho
elimination of unscrupulous dealers
are recommended.
There are signs. says the depart
