Should Offer
Rest To All
Living Room Should Have
LIABILITY and Friendly
Hospitality
DESIGN AND
COLOR HARMONY
BY BENJAMIN R. FOX


The very name living room sug-
gests the type of decorative treat
ment such a room should receive.
1t should be restful, to offer relax
alton to weary minds and bodies.
1t should strike balance between
dignity and informal charm, so that
it may at once welcome the formal
visitor and provide ease and COM
fort for the family. And it should
reflect the many-sided interests of
the life of today.
With Inability it's keynote and
friendly hospitality it's watchword,
your living room has a good start
in the right direction. Yet it will
not be a smart room, a distinctive
room, unless to these are added
beauty of design and harmony of
color. And to secure these with the
greatest economy of time and
money, home makers are calling
more and more upon the services
of trained interior decorators.
1t is difficult for the unframed
eye to visualize clearly just how
certain drapery fabrics. will COM
bine with the various upholstery
materials selected, and how both
will look when viewed against the
tone of the walls. Not only the
expert knowledge of the decorator,
but his or her wide experience in
creating harmonious interiors, In
sures a happy and satisfying en-
semble.
The walls are most successful
when of a neutral tone, serving
as background for the shimmering
hues of hangings, rugs and furni
ture. in which ones feeling for
color may find full play.

Southern Gales
Bring Rare Fish
Cobia, Powerful Fighter and
Swimmer, First Of Its Spe-
cies Caught Near Here
MANY BREAK
TACKLE AND ESCAPE

A four-pound cobia. twenty
inches long, was caught last week
at the Little Egg Harbor Inlet,
and has been the chief curiosity
of the section since that time.
The cobia is a tropical fish,
native to the South Seas, the Gulf
of Mexico and the Gulf of Lower
California, and had never before
been caught or even seen at
Beach Haven, in the memory OF
the oldest fisherman there.
Harold Driscoll, a home town
angler, made the catch on squid
bait" when he cast into a big
school of these fish. Several other
fishermen also cast into big
school of these fish. and they got
strikes also, but their fish broke
their lines and sped away. One of
those that escaped was estimated
to have been five feet long.
The cobia is a heavy-set, power
full fish and fighter to the bone.
1t strikes hard and makes long,
determined runs, tearing the line
off the reel with a rapidity that
explains the failure of all but Dris-
coll to land their fish after hook
ing them. The cobia has the head
of a cod, the tail of a pollock and
the firmness of tuna. It's ventral
fins are large and made for fast
swimming.
The advent of the cobia in
Beach Haven waters is considered
the most remarkable thing that
has occurred there in years. 1t is
believed their cruising this far
North is traceable to the prevail
ing Southerly gales that have even
brought that fish fit for kings
table, the pompano.

Boardwalk
Rent Figures
Speculation As to Just What
Storespace on the Walk
Commands
PRICED AT $4,000
A YEAR DOWN

There is always a great amount
of speculation as to just what
stores on the Atlantic City Board
walk command III the matter of
rent, land as is the rule in cases
of this kind, they have been rated
at almost a movie stars supposed
salary or the oft-talked-of kings
ransom.s There have been stories
of where keepers of hOt-dog stands
have paid as high as $1,000 for a
space not much larger than the
flat-top desk in an executives
office, and it is known that nearly
this price was paid for hot-dog and
soft-drink stands under the Board
walk in the thickly populated parts
of the. island.
One renting agent OF the Board
walk, however, has taken all of
the fallacy out of the rental costs
OF the shops he represents by
placing in bold figures upon each
window the exact amount wanted.
The rents asked prove, to some
extent, that Boardwalk prices are
almost what the storekeepers
claim they are. The annual rental
of the smallest and farthest store,
located on the second floor of an
arcade building, possibly two hun
bred feet from the Boardwalk, is
$3.50, while the highest-priced
store now for rent is listed at
$4,000 a year. Then there are
decreases. of from $4,000 down
ward to $3.50, the largest decrease
being for the stores nearest the
Boardwalk, while the lower are
for those in the immediate vicinity
of the $3.50 shop.

BANISHES GARBAGE
CAN NUISANCE

Disposing of the garbage and
constantly accommodating household
waste is constant task from which
house wives welcome escape and
relief with open arms One of the
outstanding conveniences develop
ed in recent years to tighten the
work of the housewife and promote
clean, healthful condition around
the home is the chimneyfed incin-
orator which provides instant con-
venient and sanitary disposal of
garbage and all household rubbish.
1t banishes the garbage can
nuisance for all time-eliminates
rubbish heaps in the basement or
other parts of the. building-and
saves countless daily steps to these
insanitary and inconvenient pests
which should have disappeared
long ago, with the passing of the
outdoor pump.
With the chimney-fed incinerator
there is now no reason in the world
for any housewife or home builder
to tolerate so obnoxious a source
of disease as the garbage can. This
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. (Which costs

household waste-sweepings OF
dust from the vacuum cleaner, old
magazines, waste paper, wilted
flowers, tin cans. broken bottles
everything that is no longer wanted
and which unless disposed of at
once. fights against clean, sanitary
conditions.
All this material is deposited in
the handy hopper door in the
kitchen and falls down the flue in
to the incineTator chamber in the
basement. which is lighted at inter
walls. Ca match does it), and the
whole mass burns without further
attention. Tin cans and other non

and dropped to the ash pit and later

Here Is a Formula Which
Worked Wonderfully
For One Man
BUY in FRONT
OF PROGRESS

How to make money is the
Quest of every one. Making money
in real estate is not an accident.
The owner may, not have had the
least idea OF the potential value
of the property he purchased but
his broker had, SO for that reason
it may be safe to say that there is
formula or science for making
money in the real estate field.
]. w. Wheeler, of Seattle, Wash,
offers this advice, which he has
found. in his own case. to bring
wonderful results:
Always buy a corner, preferably
not less than 100 feet on each
street.
always buy on a thoroughfare
and never on side street. Try to
get on two thoroughfares-a trans
fer point
always buy in front of progress;
not behind it, Buy between the
old business part of your town
and the best residential section.
do not be afraid to go a con-
siderable distance out: you are
young; your town is growing fast
Lower prices and easier terms
usually can be had. Buy on the

Breakfast
Nooks Increase
Attractive Feature of Homes
Built in West Atlantic
City
TYPES HAVE
MANY VARIATIONS

Among the many refinements
being incorporated in the homes
of West Atlantic City is the break
fast nook with it's many variations.
This is not exactly new so far
as the idea is concerned, nor is it
new so far as its incorporation in
houses is concerned, but it is more
popular today, and more in demand
than before. In fact, it has come
to the point in the construction of
houses that breakfast nook is
considered by many an essential,
and there are very few. houses To-
day that do not have it as a
feature.
There are many different types,
some that fold and others that are
stationary. In the folding type
there are some that collapse into
a small cabinet set against the
wall, and when not needed they
allow more space in the kitchen.
There are others that permit the
benches to fold into the table.
AS rule the color of the break
fast nook conforms with the gem
eral scheme of the kitchen, and in
order to enhance the beauty of this
feature. many operative builders
include small hanging lamp with
a shade to harmonic.
Operative builders differ in
opinion as to the proper location
of the breakfast nook, some con-
tending that it should be in a
corner more or less out of line with
the direct vision from the living
and dining rooms, while others
feel that it should be located
directly at a window, and in a line
with the door to the kitchen. Both
have their particular followers, and
there are many prospective home
BUYERS who desire either one type
or another, with the majority, how
ever, being satisfied with the
location of the nook as selected
by the builder.

Growing Demand For
Real Estate
OPERATIONS
ARE CONSISTENT
Totals of Transactions Since
First of Year Are Impress
sive Enough to Justify OPP
timistic Feeling

There is every indication that
the local real estate market will
take on renewed activity.
Anent the situation, local brokers
of established repute point to the
fact that the values remain on
practically the same level, show
ing no decrease, which is a good
indication. Investors here, confident
of the resorts future, are sticking
to their prices and feel sure that
a growing demand will be expert
enced soon.
Well-informed real estate men
also are CT the opinion that busi-
ness conditions are not nearly as
bad as many seem to believe. Since
the first of the year the deals con-
summated have been constant and
consistent, and, while not approach
ing sensational proportions, have
aggregated figures impressive
enough to warrant an optimistic
feeling regarding local realty.
Renting has been consistently
active, although not coming UP to
last years business in this respect.
Summer cottages and apartments
in desirable locations have nearly
all been leased for the season at
good prices. During the past week
or so this phase of the realty
activity has shown an increase,
the final rush of summer residents
for quarters being experienced.
Many householders succeeded in
renting their places in this period
for short seasons at commensurate
figures. On the whole, the sum-
mer renting this year has been of
a healthful and stable nature.
An increase in the number OF
inquiries received is being noted
with satisfaction in many of the
resorts real estate offices. Interest
by both loca. and out-of-town in
vestors in improved and unimproved
properties has been accelerated to
a degree to cause brokers to feel
extremely hopeful of an active fall
market. The nearby developments
particularly have been expert.
encing a renewed demand, it is re.
ported by local developers.
