RAILROADS ENCOURAGE
TRAVEL TO RESORTS
Season at Seashore Promises
Unprecedented Prosperity.
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

Atlantic City, June 11.
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.
Acquire a site in the mid-section ot
the beachfront and nwaul contracts for
the largest and finest convention hall In
America, to stand as a great white
victory memorial for the giand army

gates. t
Procure the paving, bv the state as a
part of the state's $15,000,000 high
way system, of solid concrete motor
speedwajs to Philadelphia and New
York.
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
