BEAUTIFYING
THE DOORWA Y

About this time every year one
thinks not only of decorating the
house but of touching up the lawn
and garden, the doorways and out
side porches in every way which
may add to the charm of the homes
exterior.
Potted plants, for instance, hos
pitably placed at the doorway, tub
bed, green little things giving wei
come to the coming guest, do share
in contributing attractiveness to
the house.
Sometimes the containers OF
these so-called garden step chill
dren" are especially designed by
the architect who draws up the
house plans. Or they may be bright
lily colored bowls filed with ferns,
or painted wooden tubs with bloom
ing plants.
There are also containers OF the
classic type made of concrete. The
natural color of concrete will har
monte with any tone color treat
ment house may boast. Or the
containers may be given any color
of paint after they have been, given
coat of glazing.
Potted plants need so little at
tention in proportion to the beauts
which they give. Plenty OF water
and due amount Of sunshine OF
all sides and the foliage plants il
their narrow confines thrive gorg
eously.

Agreement
Programs of Two Stations DI-
vided Into Continuous
Broadcasting
SANE WAVE LENGTH
100 KIL0CYCLES

Atlantic City's two radio stations
WPG and WHAR, have reached an
agreement on the division of their
broadcasting time. Beginning this
week, and continuing until the Fed
eral Radio Commission sees fit to
relocate the stations, the two At
lantic City carriers will use the
same wave length, 100 kilocycles.
The programs of the two stations
have been divided SO that it con-
stitutes an almost continuous
broadcasting.
One Of the important features OF
the plan is that the "silent day
which has grown to be almost an
Atlantic City radio institution, is
eliminated. Each station will OBJ
serve a silent day Of its own, but
the other station win broadcast as
usual on that day. WPG'S silent
day is Friday under the new ar
lrangement and WHAR's silent day
is Wednesday.
Harry Cook, OF WHAR, and Di-
rector Spence, of -WPG, who, with
| City Commissioner Cuthbert, ar
ranged the new schedule, stated
that the silent day had been elimi-
mated in accordance with the policy
Of the radio commission that the
time allotted stations must be used

Protest against commercializing
The Boardwalk has been preeipitat-

propositions which have been inter
fering not only with the tone and
appearance OF the walk, but which
have also blocked the movements
of those who wished to enjoy the
freedom which they are entitled to
on the Boardwalk.
Harry Bacharach, former Mayor
ana president Of the Equitable
trust Co, mas written a letter o.
protest 10 Mayor Tuf'u in which re
says:
4 believe that the Boardwalk is
the ideal place for parades, but not
for every day in the week, and sure
~ not at the weekend unless it is
/ for a specific convention. Our visi
tors are deprived of the privilege
Of promenading on the Walk. They
come here largely for that purpose
and are no doubt willing to foregc
that pleasure for a night or two
but for a continuous proposition
they certainly must object to it
and it cannot help but prove harm
full to our resort"
, Mayor Ruffu had the question Of
disseminating the movie parades
under advisement before the Bach
arach letter arrived. The Saturday
might parade was abandoned.
Staging the Shriners' parades OF
the Boardwalk is a new departure
for the sons Of the desert, and res

Traffic on Delaware River
Bridge Way Ahead of

A proposal to increase the toll
rate on the Delaware River bridge
was voted down at Saturdays meet
ing OF the joint commission. At
I the same meeting, Joseph K Cos
tello general manager OF the span,
revealed that the traffic over the

commission unanimously agreed to
kregulate seating capacity of motor
buses passing over the bridge, pro
hibiting passengers from standing
or sitting in the aisles.
The increased toll rate proposal
was made by Theodore Boettger,
representing Northern New Jersey.
His plan was two-fold, first that he
feared the commission would be
criticized because of the inequality
in the toll rates of the bridge and

rate, the bridge would pay for itself
in seventeen years.
