VENTNOR HAS ITS
Spring CLOAK
Residents Prepare For Coming
Summer Season - Gar
denerS Busy
OIL FISHING REELS

Yentnor City, known the world
over for its beautiful homes and
gardens, has put on it's spring
cloak, and many Of the shrubs and
hedges have blossomed from under
their winter coverings for the first
time.
Quite number or summer homes
were opened 0y owners who plan
to spend the summer near the sea
and away from the hustle and bus
tie of the city. Nearly all the
beachfront houses, stretching for
blocks along the strand, are row in
the hands of painters whose colors
add to the beauty of their architec-
tural lines. All styles, from the
demure Swiss dwellings in the vi
entity of Dorset avenue to the bold
Spanish houses, with their red tile
roofs and green stucco finishings
are represented in this grand array
of architectural cleverness.
Gardeners are also busp men this
week, for nearly every home in this
resort has a garden adjoining it.
Some seem surrounded by them
All sorts of blooms and green's are
blossoming. The rose trelIis also
are turning green. Yesterday there
was hardly one box covering stand
ing, for as many of these houses
are vacant all winter, the owners,
in order to protect whatever shrubs
there are in the gardens, erect
large board fences all along their
properties. Some Of the trees and
bushes there are said to be worth
thousands of dollars, as many boast
plants which have been transferred
from foreign nurseries.
Avolyn avenue, located in the
central part of the city, and called
by local architects and builders,
"the dream street of Ventnor," is
also taking part in this grand
spring opening. On this street
alone. four distinct types of archi-
lecture are represented.
Another sure sign of the coming
summer noticed last week was sew
eral prominent men oiling up their
fishing reels in anticipation of great
catches off the Ventnor fishing
pier. George Bratten, comptroller.
is beginning to talk about his gar
den in the rear of his home on N.
Weymouth avenue. This fact is
anough to convince us that summer
is here.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's non
stop flight TO Mexico City is his own
original idea and would have been un
dertaken hed he not received an invi
tation from President Gales. it was
learned today from an authoritative
source close to the famous airman.
Four weeks ago Col Lindbergh set
tied the matter in his own mind to at
tempt a nonstop flight to Mexico City
i'm the interest of promoting interna
tional air commerce between the
United States and the republics to the
south of the Rio Grande.
AT the time he confided this ambi
ton to a few intimate friends he pro
duced paper listing several other long
distance nonstop flight projects which
he hopes to undertake, but the nature
of these are being guarded by the
colonel's conf1dants in Difference te
his wishes.

Therefore. it was declared. Presi-
dent Gales invitation was somewhat
as an antl-climax to the plans. That
the noted pilot planned such an aerial
voyage soon reached the ears Of
Dwight w Morrow. American Ambas.
sador to Mexico. who, it is thought,
told Mexico's President of the project,
which resulted in the formal invita-.
ton.
Since the New York Paris fight, Col.
Lindbergh has established himself in

reasonable care and precautions are
