THINK TWO DAYS TOO SHORT
Ocean City Wants Excursion
Tickets Extended to -Four
DAYS.

Days.
The Ocean City Real Estate
Board has adopted resolutions ask
ing the Pennsylvania and Reading
Railroads to extend to four DAYS
the ticket recently placed on sac
for two days at a greatly reduced
rate. Other resort bodies have
been interested in the plan and
will also make similar request
of the railroads.
President Swing Corson, of the
Ocean City body, in explaining the
reason for the desired change says
that the resort men feel that the
two-day ticket is in several respects
harmful to the hotel and business
men in the shore cities in that
visitors cannot stay over the week
ends and leave for home on Sun
day afternoons so that the hotels
do not have their patronage until
Monday morning. The reason a
request is made for a four-day
ticket is that many of the bust
ness houses and offices close early
on Friday afternoons and persons
employed in such places would
start to the seashore that after.
noon II they could buy a ticket
good till the following Monday.

Officers Will Act.

Sixty miles an hour for the big
passenger buses ON theWhite Horse
pike and only thirty miles for the
private cars will not be the rule
any longer. as the State police have
been ordered to arrest the bus dri-
vers who exceed the speed limit.
The police have on several in
stances declined to enforce the law
that says when a bus horn is SCUM
ded the private cars must make
room for the buses. Cars that run
in and out of line for miles at a
time will be hailed before squire
and fined under new order. 1t
has been found that nearly half OF

his terrible grammar. / have had

Is it wrong to keep on when l

is so poor? "BUDDIE."
/ really and truly think you had
better gives him UP, Buddie. You
say you are ashamed of him be-
fore others now. Well, you would
be more ashamed of him when he
was your husband. You see, bad
grammar is largely a habit. College
graduates often are ungrammatical
because of habits of speech they
acquired when they were children
from their parents.
If your friend was mentally alert
and eager to improve he would cor.
rect his own language. He would
be aware of his difference from
educated people and anxious to put
himself right. 1t is not SO much
the ungrammatical language thai
will cause you trouble but the at

THE REST PLACE TO RESIDE

The best possible place Of residence is in home you

notes responsible citizenship, provides the privacy which
every family should be able command encourages thrift
which in turn is directly responsible for larger bank

OF all these benefits thrift based faith, is not least
important Faith gives clear vision of the great and timer

Is home ownership worth while? Ask the man who
