Mountains Draw Many Greatest vacation oar in history! Never before liae the American pert pie felt the need o n period of 'rest i and reereation s-o Keenly us now, and never before have they so well deserved It. Little wonder, the.n, that summer resorts everywhere 7mountains, sea shore and country arc looking forward confidently to a capacity season. ! VitU the war over, and peace a near fact, and millions of soldiers home from overseas, nnd general readjustment in , 'full swing, the tired business man nnd i his no less weary family can afford to sit back nnd take things easy for n ' time. They not only need it, but they also have the money to pay for it. Many of the hot wather resorts are opening earlier than usual to accom modate the early emigrants from the cities, and travel shoreward nnd to the hills nnd forests nnd the fishing grounds already Is growing heavy. High prices very evidently are not going to. in terfere with plans to take a well-earned fling at being young nnd carefree nnd , lazy, if you please, for the customary two weeks longer, if ou're one of the lucky number. Railroads Encourage TraicI Relieved of the greater part of the burden of traffic incidental to the prose cution of the war, the federal railroad administration, coutiary to its nttitude toward rcsoit trael last year, is spend ing a huge sum of money this summer in advertising the resorts themselves, advising vacationists as to the best ' routes and encouraging summer travel i In every way possible. In most instances, train nnd boat service to the rendezvous of the city dweller on a- holiday is far more ade quate as to frequency, nnd operated on faster schedules. The vacationist with limited time, nnd making n long jump by rail from his home city to his summerl playground, will not bo subjected this year to the long nnd annoying delays imposed during the war, when the fastest express trains were sidetracked and held up to give the freights of the ordnance nnd quartermaster depart ments and the troop trains the right of way. Resort hotels, anticipating crowded houses, have been 'renovated and ex panded, and new establishments have been built. At the seaside places in New Jersey, there have been many boardwalk improvements, nnd new amusement features have been added. Summer colonics are springing un along bayshoro and riverfront in New Jersey and Delaware, and in the mountains nnd nlong the lake shores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Hamp shire and Maine. Vacation Grounds Nearby Atlantic City, the largest seashore resort in the country, naturally claims J a large part of Philadelphia's summer patronage1 because of. its proximity to ., this city. But other New Jersey re sorts, according to nil indications, will be well patronized by Pliilndelphians this season, including Wildwood, Cape May, SeaIsle City, Ocean Grove and Asbury Park. Society folks having their winter and spring residences here nre ' going to Maine and New Hampshire in ) large nirtnbers, and others hnve chosen '( to spend the hot months in the moun tains of Virginia and West Virginia. Judging from the large number ap plying to the railroad administration's travel and resort bureaus forv informa tion, travel to the Rockies and tho Northwest, nnd to the Canadian Rock ies, will be very heavy this summer. The Great North Woods in Wisconsin and Michigan are calling to those who love a .life out of doors without tho frills found in the more crowded places. Here bunting and fishing' aboun to the de light of the true sportsman, as well as Tin the American Rockies.

Somebody, just who is not material for his philosophy is not chal lenged once said when Atlantic City Rtops doing bic; things in a large way to hold its premiership as America's greatest plajground, it will begin to slide biii'kwnn'. He had in mind, no doubt, (lie sequence of events through which tliis resort, nltnost as well known throughout Europe- and in some parts 1 even of Asia as it is upon this side 'of the gieat waters to the east and the west, had evolved in not a great number of years, as the life of cities Is meas ured, from a fishing village, a few huts used onlv in midsummer, by the side of ' a friendly sen. What this philosopher, unheralded to fame, believed he foresnw as a possi bility predicated upon the eclipsed ca reers of other resorts once popular nnd I prospeous, has no part in Atlantic City's pogrom for this post-bellum year of 1010. Marking time or sliding back- Iward has ixiught to do with the sea shore metropu'is Philadelphians started upon the road to fame. To the contary, the international Ihnven of play seekers nnd health seekers, whence come the re nowned of all nations nnd the classes and masses of the great American Union, is bounding forward serenely confident that onlv the prologue of its itorj has been wiitten. .Still .More Uig TKngs These arc some of the things Atlantic City plans to do during the next twelve months: Throw open the doors of another great hotel, a twelve-story fireproof caravansary modern to the minute, rep resenting an inestmcnt of $2,fi00,000. l'.egin the construction of nt least two more great hoatelries, one in the select region of Chelsea, the other in the up town hotel belt.

Think Program Feasible This, it micht be said, is a big nro- ! gram for one year, but Atlantic City I does not regard it as otherwise than I logical and perfectly feasible. It is by ' doing just such things that this com I muiiity of aggressive, optimistic people, 1 supremely certnin ol a great destiny oe , cause of climatic conditions and geo graphic situation, has made this mar velous playground, thirty minutes by air from the cradle of American independ ence. It will be obesrved here that At lantic City, being an nirport, is already ( beginning to measure distances by aerial ' courses. Atlantic City, to bo quite frank, has no alternative than to keep right on doing large things for the retention of its existing clientele, now measured only by the boundaries of the land of the Sj,,i tree, nnu tne signing up oi more anovg ..in ...... ... -....,. i i.nn .... ,i.... t jt?
