Track Atmosphere
You will be amazed at the way
they have tricked up Atlantic
City's SIS, 100000 civic auditorium
to provide the atmosphere and
the surroundings of a race track.
In fact they even improve upon
Laurel and Bowie for the pari'
mutuel agents Who circulate
through the balconies, not only
to sell you a ticket Of the hounds,
but cash the same if you are for
tunate enough to pick the doggie
who comes closest to catching
the mechanical rabbit.
This is well organized sport and
both natives and boardwalk trav-
elers drop in to risk 50 or more
on the racing hounds. There are
10 races a night, eleven on Sat-
urday and special nights.
The main auditorium floor en-
braces a regulation size track
with an enclosure surface re-
sembling a green lawn with
spraying fountains and all the
appearances of a Belmont Park.
At one end is the odds board
with space reserved for the win
ming prices.

REALTY CHANGES
IN ACT GRANTED
Trade Commission Passes
on Question Involving
Securities.

Virtually ali changes asked by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards Ia the regulations governing
the administration of the securities
act of 1888 have been granted. The
changes asked by the association Swere
to relieve certain types OF real estate
securities from the provisions of the
act. Rulings of the Federal Trade
Commission grant the exemptions.
Baldwin b. Bane. chief OF the Sc
curities division of the Federal Trade
Commission, has been appointed to
similar executive post in the newly
created Securities Commission which
will act as a control board for stock
exchanges and other securities mar
keting. According TO statements here
the new board expects to take over
the functions of the securities divi-
sion of the Federal Trade Commission
about September /.
According to the new regulation
promulgated by the existing board.
real estate mortgages to a total OF
$50 900 will be exempt from the pro-
visions of the securities act of 1893.
The Real Estate Association had asked
for exemptions up to $50, 900.
Under certain restrictions, real
estate securities TO a total of 100000
also will be exempted from the pro-
visions of the act Chief of the re-
Strictions is that such securities be
sold for cash in denominations not
less than $500. This, it is pointed
eut. is done with the thought of pro-
tecting small investors. Provision is
made. however, for isues in smaller
denominations to come under partial
restrictions of the act. This also is
in line with the recommendations Of
the Real Estate Association.
The Real Estate Association. by
brief and by personal appearances be-
fore the Trade Commission, had re-
quested these changes. Its argument
was that the securities act placed I'M
due restriction on home financing,
which would vitiate the attempts of
the Government to stimulate home
ownership and home building.

VIRGINIA WILL GET
LEGAL RUM SOON
Sale to Begin Within Two
Weeks Through Dis
pensary System.
BY r. L. c. BARRET.


RICHMOND, Va, March 10.-With-
in two weeks liquor will be legally sold
in Virginia for the first time since
October 30, 1916. One of the chief
accomplishments Of the General As
sembly session of 1884 was the enact
ment Of the liquor control act under
which the State will dispense intoxi-
cants
AS passed by the General Assembly,
and finally approved Gov. Peery, the
act substantially follows the recon-
mendations of the State committee of
Is which made an exhaustive study
of the systems under which liquor is
sold in Europe and the Canadian
provinces.
The act sets up an alcohol beverage
control board of three members, ap-
pointed by the Governor, which is
given wide powers. State liquor stores,
probably 100 or more, will be estab-
lished throughout the Commonwealth.
From these any person who is not a
minor may purchase as much as one
gallon Of liquor at a time, but there
is no limit on the number of times
Under the law a man could buy a
gallon and put it in his car and then
return in five minutes or less and
buy another gallon.
Hotels and restaurants will be per-
mitted to serve beer or wine, but no
hard liquor. The law prohibits drink
ing of hard liquor in public places,
the term specifically including high
ways and hotel dining rooms, lobbies
and corridors. Drinking in hotel guest
rooms is permitted, but the liquor so
drunk must have been purchased from
a State store.
Penalties regarding illegal liquor ex-
tend to the buyer as well as to the
seller, but the buyer is given i'm
munity If he testifies against the boot
logger.
A local option provision permits any
city or county and towns of more than
1000 inhabitants to prohibit the sale
of liquor within their respective limits.

Republicans and Democrats alike are

give West Virginia some of the live

the only Republican so far men,

made no statement relative to his in
tentions, though it generally is be-
lieVed he will seek another term
Since the election of 1882. when the
State went solidly Democratic for the
first time in 40 years, the Repub-
hcans have made no open effort to
whip their organization together, but
there have been signs that younger
members planned taking greater
hand in party affairs and they may
try to bring out a new face for the
senatorial honors.
Democrats Hopeful.
Meanwhile the Democrats are
hopeful of victory and a half dozen
party leaders have indicated a desire
to run. These include former Sena-

Gray Silver of Martinsburg, promi-

and former Gov. John j. Cornwell of
Hampshire County, now chief coun-
sci Of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road, with headquarters at Baltimore.
Recently Cornwell issued a state
ment saying that he was giving Sc

This had the effect of quieting re-
ports concerning other possible can

replace the Newark City Commission
with an elective city manager.
Two of Hague's chief ieutenants in

The Hague organization does not want
them displaced in May, few months

The city manager movement has
gained great impetus due to dissatis-

If it succeeds and Ellenstein and
Duffy are displaced by a group new to
