dbeetopmeat of the Main da-

shers Boad during the pest three rton has been moat marked. Few of the old, unpalnted houses remain, the •real majority having been modernised sad improved, and a number of hew ooes built. Particularly notlceable, too, is the character of homes gotag up along this road. All substantial, mad indicate that this highway will eome day be a boulevard lined with fine homes, rivaling ths Shore Road from Somers Point to

'hsseori, in Atlantic County.

What effect the. Beasley's Point rtdge, when boUt, and the Cape

Perry will have on Shore t^ty valftee is, of course, prob-

lematical, but It is a safe bet that the values along this highway will skyrocket when the Aral boat lands at Cape May, and the first auto panes from Somers Point across the Bay to

BeesUr* point.

ladleative of the development of the Shore Road is a certain small farm near Court House that sold two years ago for fSfiO. The owner held K a year and sold It for $2,600; the aew owner In turn sold it for $3000, and li wes again sold soon after for $4000. and the last owner a short Upse ago refused $4,500! This would have been labeled as a fairy tale, or a wild dream, a few years age. Real wtate on the Shore Road is *w a gilt-edge Investment, moel anywhere from Beasley's Point

Caps May.

At last the great army of taxpayers are oomlng Into their own. Salaried men. receiving less than $6,000 year, are numerous and the burden of their complaint against federal taxes has been great.

! Something to Think slbout By F. J. WILIER OUR TONGUES YN THOSE dear intimacies la the * sacred environ* ot borne, in leglaUUve balls, in the tragedies cf love and war, in our business ret .lion* with one another and In all the affaire of life, the tongue plays the leading role. And this It continue* to do from the moment It frames its first word until it ceases to function and the certain goes down on the final act. It is the most potential power tor good or evil, capable of filling hearts with the utmost Joy or breaking them beyond repair. To suffer day after day under the tosh of a tongue that to conth-uonsly upbraiding, that cracks and snaps apo* the slightest provocstion, and often withou* any provocation at all, to a punishment which sensitive mortals cannot long end are without wishing for an early return to the

duet

In the boose of nagging tongues, happiness rests on a precarious bees, liable at any moment to toppte ever and break to pieces. Marriage under such conditions to not an Arcadia, bnt a land of terror where s few cruel words may sweep a home from its comfortable founda-

tion.

Husband* and wiver are amiable and kindly enough until mischievous longues break loose and open bostliitlea. Then there to too much heat In the air for endurrnce. In tue torrid temperature both lose their self-respect and the wxr to on until the verbal fight ends between the contestants In the open divorce court. But the tongues whose tragedies are seldom told are those Inarticulate members that neither praise nor censure. Often a heart to hungry, but miserly tongues starve it to death. An affectionate wife wait* years for a word of love or admiration. She waits monthc and yesrs for tt, bnt it never to spoken. Losing hope, she fades sway as * rose in the chili winds cf autumn. And this U equally true of husbands whose i are perpetually Icy In the repelling atmosphere of wives who have forgotten the old love story and lounge like mute* at their own ftre-

dde.

Bestow smiles and encouraging words while the days are yours. Tell your wives and husbands that you love them. Tell them oftee and see their face* brighten. Experience each day the came ecstatic Jcy that was yours when ths wedding march was singing. <•.
