Editor, West Atlantic City News
We people who live in Atlantic
City are always talking about
Atlantic City being in its infancy
and | believe that it isl, being in
the Real Estate business talk OF
Atlantic City's possibilities all OF
the time.
Now. if We are telling the truth
and believe what we say, why not
try and save the Railroad Comp
any's money and build terminals
out far enough at this time so
they ont have to do it over
again tomorrow. AS | believe
nothing can stop Atlantic City's
growth westward, look ahead
today and not regret tomorrow.

HOW WEST
ATLANTIC CITY
STOOD THE STORM

the great storms which are dread
ed so much along the coast, are
broken and their force spent before
they reach West Atlantic City,
While the residents at many
other points had to use boats TO
get to and from home, We were
able TO move about on dry walks.
l have lived in West Atlantic
City for sometime and experienced
all kinds of weather conditions;
in fact. | have experienced every
element and condition which may
affect the charm of home
location.
In addition to having a house
here, one has a wonderful home,
with homelike surroundings,
beautiful lawns. shrubbery and
flowers so much appreciated by
the home lover. 1t is near the
Boardwalk and the Worlds Play
ground, yet it is Far from the
maddening crowd"
While we are in the midst OF
restful surroundings, we are just
a step to the Boardwalk and to
amusements which are varied and
to be found to suit every taste.
By using the Reading or the
Pennsylvania, commuters to
Philadelphia may save As minutes
daily in going to and from their
West Atlantic City homes. By
motor one is only eight minutes
from the center of Atlantic City
while you can get to any point il
Atlantic City by trolley in abou
/ twenty minutes.
/ With each passing month We
are treasured by all kinds o
events and by the ever increasing
interest shown in West Atlantic
City home developments that W,
selected the finest place for on
home.

Playing Around In The
Worlds Playground Today

Washington's Birthday has not
fallen on Tuesday since 1921, and
the visitors arriving in the Worlds
Playground by train shows an in
crease of nearly rs per cent since
then. Distant travel was particu-
larly heavy and both the Pennsyl-
vania and Reading railroads car
ried many extra trains.
The third annual convention of
the Association of Highway Officials
of the North Atlantic States, at the
Ambassador, attracted several
thousand delegates from this area
for five days. New highway pro
jects, road treatment and technical
subjects were discussed with inter
esting social features during the
evening, A Might in Venice" at
the Ambassador pool was one of
the program highlights.
Reopening of the Submarine
Grill of the Traymore brought an
other social center to the beach
front. Several large affairs are
being planned for Washington's
Birthday.
With the entering of bonds and
other legal qualifications of the
contractors all was placed in read
mess for starting of the superstruc-
ture of the municipal convention

monies are being arranged by city
officials and civic organizations

THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL

When Dr. Lambert L. Jackson, Assistant Commits
sioner of Education for New Jersey, visited this city he
ye advice that is sound and valuable because is
based upon actual experience.
Build High School that will take of the
student population for the next five years was DIR.
Jackson's comment to Superintendent Horstick and
Principal Wilson of the Pleasantve City school system
This is conservative advice cleaned from state wide
knowledge of educational needs and their tultIlment
and is worthy of serious thought
Pleasantville has nearly doubled its population in
the last three years and with future brighter than the
past we can the acquisition of several hundreds
of people every year. proportion of those several
hundreds be students of the High School age,
and Pleasantyie will be making very serious mistake
if it builds High School that is only adequate tor the
needs of 1923 1929.
The present High School is inadequate even tor The
present needs and year it will be overlaxed that
informed by Superintendent HOrstick pupils
will have to be handled part time A system OF
shifts in any type of school, is unsatisfactory 1t is
hardship on the pupils, the teachers, and on the
mother of a family who has than one child in the
school.
The School Board and Board of School Estimate has
very wisely chosen school site of sufficient size and con-
venen location entirely suit the needs of Pleasantve
for High School purposes for many years to come The
location in Ansey Park is 800 feet wide and 2oO feet
deep, with the 80 foot Franklin Boulevard in the front
and 90 foot the other three sides 10 build
High School building that in few years be added
to or entirely replaced would be folly.
1t is the duty of every citizen OF Peasantyllle who
realizes that the foundation structure of future citizen
ship and usefulness of the community lies in the well
educated boy and girl graduate of High School, TO
back the Board of Education in endeavor to follow
Dr. Jacksons advice and build High School that will
take care of the needs of the City of Peasante for at
least five wears.

STOCKINGS
 NOW SOLD AS PAIR
This Is the Latest Thing in
 Hosiery Service

New York. March Ii tUP)-Mor- als are absolutely shocking in the stocking world. Until now not a breath Of scandal has ever touched the hosiery counter. Stockings were carefully mated in color and size and remained mated until one of the pair became enfeebled when mate was cast into the discard along with it. There was no second mate loahng about to take the place of the de- ceased.
 Now, however. until rips do us part" seems to be the idea. A ho- siery merchant has started idea of selling three single stockings as a
 pair" He believes that one stocking Of 3 pair Of two always gives out be- fore its mate and by having q third stocking the purchaser can still have the benefit Of pair. Three Of a kind are worth more than pair, accord ing to this merchants logic. Fer haps the extra cost on three stock ings will make Up for the waste in discarding a pair when one stock ing gives out.
 For several years women have been buying two like pairs of stock ings with economy in view. Thus, when one stocking got run, one still had a run for ones money with the three remaining stockings, Math- eInatlcally 1t was a good idea and perhaps the idea of buying three stockings instead of pair" may prove even cheaper in the long run.
 The tlapper vogue for metal ank- lets which were worn about the ankle under sheer silk hosiery is probably responsible for the new stocking anklets. A circle or band Of darker thread than the stocking ex- tends about the ankle being woven into stockings so as 10 give the ef- feet Of narrow metal anklet. Usual iy the circlet is of the same shade as the heels. Heels, you know, are darker than rest of the stocking lately. This two-tone idea is used on gunmetal stockings with black heels and on light parchment stockings with dark. tan or brown.
