A drink of

WHEN good friends call to grace your home
to sit and talk as good friends wiil-to
dine-to dance-to play little bridge per-
haps there's no drink in all the world 50
altogether welcome as sparkling, bubbling
glass of Canada Dry"
The very appearance of the stately green
bottle, with its aristocratc crest and foil,
adds touch of distinction to every occasion.
The delicate appealing favor of the ginger
ale itself will charm your taste and tell you
something, too, of the matchless purity and
quality of this famous drink.
Canada Dry" is altogether different from
every other ginger ale because it is made
and mellowed with something of the same
expert care as fine old wine. 1t is, indeed,

Consider Health
And Privacy
Underlying Principles To
Guide One in Choosing
a Home
MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL RELAXATION
By BENJAMIN R. FOX

How much money should we put
into a house? In practice this
question is always tied up with the
more subtle one of what TO buy
with given amount Of money.
Given twelve hundred dollars a
year for housing, what is it best
to emphasize: number Of rooms,
sanitation, housekeeping conyen-
fences or location? Shall we take
a seven-room house in the suburbs
for a hundred dollars a month, or
two rooms and a kitchenette in the
heart OF the city? And there are,
of course, a thousand different adj
justments between these extremes.
The underlying principle to guide
us here is seen when we analyze
housing into its constituent parts
and note their relative Importance.
The thing of first Importance is
the ROTOR actual shelter. Next
comes the opportunity for clearly
living sanitation. Following that
is the need Tor a measure OF pri-
vacy for each individual, both with
respect to other members of the
family and the outside community.
In fact, these things are so fun
damentally important that It al
most >never pays to sacrifice them
for such other things as location,

Not only should there be plenty

West Atlantic
City Is Ideal
Features Many and Far Su-
perior To Other Cities,
Says B. r. Fox
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
HOME SELECTION

West Atlantic City as an ideal
place for residential investment
was the subject of an interview
yesterday with Benjamin R. Fox,
who built up the inlet section of
Atlantic City and who has been
active in Atlantic City building and
developing for 20 years.
Without prejudice n regard to
any other city" said Mr.. Fox, 1t
seems to me that the more one
sees of living conditions in some
other cities, the happier he is that
he is a West Atlantic City home
owner. Of course, the one family
house, such as we have i'll West
Atlantic City, has never existed in
other cities to the extent that 1t
has been developed in West Allan
tic City, but this is not the only
pronounced advantage. Just now,
on the eve of the opening OF the
spring season, there are available
in West Atlantic City, new homes
that, in the matter of price, design,
equipment, location, transportation,
in fact every way, are so superior
to anything in the form of home
in some other cities, that there is
really no comparison.
At the present, the prospective
home purchaser has an exception
al stock-so to speak-to select
from, irrespective of the price he
desires to pay for home"
Easy Financing a Feature
Another great advantage that
the West Atlantic City home owner
has that is not enjoyed to the same
extent by residents of other cities
in connection with residential pro-
perty, is in regard to the financing
Of the purchase of home. 1t is
extremely easy for one interested
in buying a home to acquire the
kind of a home he desires without
having to accumulate a very large
sum of money to be used as pay
ment on the purchase. The actual
money required may be only few
hundred dollars, the remainder OF
the purchase price being taken
care of in first and second mort
gage. Our method of financing
purchases in West Atlantic City
sections has no equal anywhere IN
this country.
Yes, indeed, West Atlantic City
represent a greater home section
than ever before and the man or
woman who has in mind the prr-
chase of a home, should realize
that, at the present time, the OPP
portunity to get the right kind of
home at the right price in the
right location las never been bet
ter"

CHICAGO WHEAT LOWER

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, May IA state of un-
certainty pervaded the trade in
wheat futures at the opening of the
Chicago Board of Trade today with
prices 1Ac to 1Ac lower than the
previous close. A great deal of
bullish sentiment exists and higher
prices are expected later, but the
disposition for the present is to take
profits on sharp bulges and replace
on breaks. Liverpool came much
weaker than due and was a factor
early. Weather conditions were not
much changed.
Corn opened &c to 1hc lower
than yesterdays close. Sentiment
is decidedly mixed in corn. Oper-
ators who have been extremely bull
ish remained of that opinion today
while in some instances those who
were buliish at 20 cents for May
were disposed to regard corn as high
enough for the present.
Unsettled weather conditions has
caused late seeding of oats and
greatly reduced acreage, but the
market needs higher prices in wheat
and corn to advance It. Opening quo
tations were &c to &c lower than
Fridays close.
Provisions opened lower.
