Why?

What do-w Ocean City expect to gain by sbeh a course that she cannot obtain as an integral part of Cepe May county, or haa not already obtained? It is claimed by some of tnsse advocates that Ocean City haa not been accorded the consideration the deserves. In proportion to taxes paid, in ths distribution of improved roed

favors.

But win this claim n.W good? Have ths prop^ar: diets carefully amlned the records? We are aware that Ocean City Is a very large tax paying unit, the largest In the county and destined to become a ftill greater contributor to the County Treasurer's strong box. for not only is the resort growing rapidly, but taxable values are sing by leaps and bounds. This very fact Should be the strongest imeut In fsvor of Ocean City remaining a part of Cape Mey county, for wealth dominates, and if not now. in the very near future. Ocean City will be the controlling factor In Cape May county. Could she hope to. acquire such an ding if she cast her fortunes in with Atlantic City? Of course not, and on second thought we think the annexation propagandists will admit ■ much. Then what is to DS gained? Nothing But the risk is Invited f losing much.

LANDS OF ADVENTURE FEAR Strange People ana Soeses Abound Bear Our Large Cries erejns who keep their gase much on the horizon often miss the things they would like most to see close at hand, says Adventure MagaIt is so to seeking adventure, in traveling, in thinking too much terms of thousands of miles. Often, Just around the corner lies en unknown land, aa strange aa anything to be found on the far aide of the continent. Strange people live In the recessee of the Ramapo and Cataklll Mountains in sight of New Tork City and to the Adlrondacks, the Green Mountains, the Alleghenies. When the urge to wander far comes, aad one haa only a week * vacation or porhaps two weeki teems almost useless to try to crowd Into so short a space of time the experience, travel, adventure for which one longs. But It should not be fo.gotten that the strange aad unusual Is wlthto day's run of any city, any community. In the United Stater Cut from Chicago He the Lake Michigan marshee, the shell riven, the sand dunes, the back countries of many river bottoms. Maine. New Hampshire, western Massachusetts lie within a dsy of Boston. St. Louie, with the Minourl, Mississippi. the Osarks. has fewer varieties of Interesting jack country than, for example, Philadelphia. We are accustomed to think of the great West aa a land of varied interests. Life in Nevada Is simpler, has fewer variations, than can be found within a day's run of Albany, New Tork.

PLATIHITM IS PRECIOUS Six Times as Valuable aa Gold—Columbia is Chief Producer Gold has hitherto been regarded as the meet precious metal, but for gold one mure now wrirte platinum, say* Tid Mlis. for whereas gold can bought for ISO an ounce, platinum la saleable, even to the dealer In clous metals, at ISO an ounce! New platinum fields in the Northern Transvaal have Just been discovered. and this is the first time platinum haa been found within the British empire in any considerable quantity. The biggest producer of this most precious of all metals is Colombia. In South America, which In 19Z3 turned out 4S.000 oun whilst Russia, which probably haa the greatest potentialities for producing platinum, supplied in the ■ year SS.000 ounce*. Such figures Illustrate the comparative rarity of platinum. In < pari son even with gold, the world production of which runs every yeer Into millions of ounces. The world's consumption of platinum last year was 40.000 ounce*. Today all the best dltoonda and the finest pearls are made up in platinum.
