Letters To The Editor
Words Are Carriers.

10 the Editor.
Someone has asid, Words are
things" but l say, words are
carriers" Sometimes they carry
knowledge, or they may carry in
formation. Sometimes they go
freighted with error-other words
are loaded with truth.
A man puts much of himself
into his words. Some men are
like ship. They go to some port
and take on freight. In this case
they store it in the mind as in
the hold of a ship. When the
words are discharged they seem
as packages.
have known a few persons to
go to the bottomless pit; then,
taking on freight. the words are
thrown out. They explode and
throw out oaths and cursss-and
as they explode you can almost
small the sulphur.
Others, and sometimes the
same ones, gather up filth and
dirt and hurl that into the air,
and when they hurl themselves
at you, they almost blind you,
and the odor is sickening. All
these are unpleasant words.
In Pleasantville we are, sup
pose, to see pleasant things in
others and then talk about them.
Going from the funeral Of a wo-
man who lived in the eighties,
her son said, Il never heard
my mother speak an unkind word
of any human being"
Oh, of how many of us can
that be said. That woman used
only pleasing words.
In Pleasantville we are all sup
posed to use pleasant words. We
see the good in our neighbors and
we talk about the good in them.
Our words, when they are explod-
ed, are supposed to throw out
fragrance, bright, beautiful and
pleasant thoughts.

CATION.
The President Hotel, or any 9th
er of the great hotels in Atlantic
City for that matter, is not to be
exploited willy-nilly by any Allan
tic City newspaperman or newspa-
per. The President Hotel is an
institution in which every person
in Atlantic County takes a pride
and an interest, although one may
never step inside of it.
The President Hotel typifies the
progress and spirit of Atlantic
City. 1t is new and modern. It's
cost, from site to furnishings, rep
resents millions. The people Of
Atlantic City, the people of the
Mainland and the people of ali
Atlantic County point to it with
pride. It is testimonial that At
lantic City is going forward and
that it is maintaining it's position
as the Worlds Greatest Play
ground.
Any damaging statements about
the President Hotel or any other
great hotel in Atlantic City are
likely to be resented by. 9th rs
than those who have a direct,
financial or personal interest in
the hotel. While the President
Hotel may be patronized by the
world at large, it's safekeeping
rests with the people of the COM
munity in which it stands.
Not only is the President Hotel
a structure of beauty and pride to
Atlantic City, but it is an asset
to Atlantic County.

WELCOME TO ATLANTIC CITY
Camden Post)

Atlantic City is the latest to
develop the parking complex"
Starting this week, all those
who motor to the shore for a dip
must not leave their cars on any
of the streets leading to the
boardwalk-except for period
of two hours, or less.
Instead they must drive cou-
pie of miles north, to the airport,
park there, and ride back to town
on municipal bus, especially
provided for the "parkers."
OF all the asinine parking the
cries, Atlantic City's wins the
medal.
For a city whose sole industry
is that of entertaining tourists,
it seems ridiculous that law
should be passed which will di-
rectly drive tourists away.
The Airport parking idea is
Mayor Bader's scheme. 1t is our
guess that Atlantic City's bust
ness men will become so sick Of
it, after week or two, that even
the great Bader will have to mod
ify his "No Parking in the City"
edict.

Press Contest
Concluded from Page ~

With honors thus far about ev-
emily divided, candidates in The
Press now famous prize CAM
paign are preparing with feverish
haste and intensity to make their
final stand for victory before
midnight next Saturday-the
close of the second period schel-
ule of votes.
Surging forward at the rate of
several thousand votes a clip, all
of the leading candidates are
dashing through the final days
at top speed-straining every
nerve in their final effort for SUI
premacy.
False Stories.
It is no doubt natural, with
such intense interest being shown
in the great race that some can
didates would attempt to discour-
age others by circulating rumors
more ingenious than accurate.
One hears of immense vote re-
serves "stored away" to dumb
found participants in the end.
But the tales one hears are so
highly embellished with frills, so
utterly uncomfortable, that their
untruthfulness is readily appar-
ent.
These exaggerated stories hurt
no one but those who attempt to
circulate them. The real contes-
tants are those who are too busy
either to listen to or be bluffed
by those would-be buffers.
Ten o'clock next Saturday night
is positively your last chance to
enter subscriptions, and secure
second period votes. Make every
day, yes, every hour, count while
the time counts most.
Very Close Race.
The entire race is so close that
any one of the contestants can
forge to the front and cinch the
coveted honors while the present
big vote schedule is in force. In
deed, the outcome of the whole
battle depends almost entirely up
on what each individual contest
ant accomplished during the next
few days.
Some hard work and real hust-
ling will undoubtedly be seen this
week. And is it any wonder?
Some four of the hustlers are 60
ing to win the lovely cars, five
or six others prizes of large val
ue, and other live wire contest
ants will receive the cash awards.
Isn't that sufficient compensa-
ton for the very best hustling
almost might and day" that one
can make for so short a period OF
time?

Grants of Franchises

AS it is well known, there are
pending several applications for
bus franchises between Pleasant
vile, Mortified, Linwood and
other Mainland points and Allan
tic City. Among the applications
filed is that of the Boulevard Ser
vice Company to operate ten bus
es on an Atlantic City-Absecon-
Somers Point route. This applica-
ton was to nave been given
hearing by the Public Utility
Commission at the city hall in
Atlantic City, Saturday. A. j.
Purinton, general superintendent
of the Shore Fast line, George A.
Bourgeois, counsel for the trolley
company, and representatives of
the Atlantic City and Suburban
Railway were present to oppose
the application.
Finally word was received, indi-
rectly, from George Ulizio, one of
the principals in the Boulevard
Service Company, that the hear
ing was off,"
The Mayor and City Commits
sioners expressed sympathy with
the Reading Railroad in it's de-
mand that steps be taken to cur
tail operation of interstate bus
lines in order to avert reduction
in the train service to the resort.
Mayor Bader said it was mere
ly question for the City Commits
sion to determine what protective
procedure should be adopted in
view of the city's dependence up
on the railroads for the bulk of It's
transportation requirements.
Commissioner Anthony Ruffu
said he was opposed to anything
that might force the railroads to
curtail train service or obstruct
the consummation of plans for
further improvements, such as
new terminal facilities that the
public has been so persistently
clamoring for.
After building up railroad SER
vice to Atlantic City until the re-
sort is known the world over as
the city of perfect transportation,
A. T. Dice, President of the Read
ing, said in his letter to Mayor
Bader, that the railroad finds the
investment Improbable, largely
on account of unrestricted motor
bus transportation.

Be No Exception.

BY the Associated Press
! Those who have been asking what's
! wrong with the weather this year are
; not likely to have their curiosity sat
isfied by the Weather Bureau.
! In the first place, the scientists
there say there is scarcely a more
I abused expression in the language
. than the term unusual weather"
! Weather always is doing unusual
: things, they say, and if it wasn't, it
: wouldn't be usual.
! Not Remarkable" Half Year.
Z Pressed further, they concede that
: the Spring and early Summer of 1925
: may have been a bit freakish, but
{ they refused to admit that, taken as
"a whole the country over, the first
! half of the year could really be called
s very remarkable.
) The observers summed up the situa-
i tion in about this way:
! Spring was retarded in the North
east. Cool temperatures prevailed,
with few exceptions, until July, when
: normal heat set in. Moisture was
deficient. Conditions improved. how
ever, early in the Summer.

torrid spells in its history. This re-
EiOn, usually. temperate throughout

Parts of North Carolina. South
Carolina and Georgia were held in the

drought until the middle of June.
otherwise the South had seasonal
weather. Conditions also were ap-
proXimately normal in the huge area
between the Mississippi and the Rocky
Mountains.
East Cool, West Warm.
While the South Atlantic Seaboard
and Central West lacked sufficient
rain during the Spring, it came in un-
WOnted torrents in southern Califor-
mia.
The Weather Bureau officials are
reluctant to generalize, but one condi-
ton they have noted so often that 1t
has come to be axio0atic. When eX-
treme heat prevails in the western
half of the country, the eastern half
is cooler, and vice versa. The same
divergence applies to cold.
