A WEAK LINE Good roads, vital to the present day growth of any community, and hamming more vital every day with the tremendous growth of the automobile traffic, must interest every hvinees man and patriotic citizen Gape May is becoming gradually United up with the outside world by the chain of good roads of Cape May eeunty, but there are unfortunately a Bomber of weak links in the chain- , Uris ie particularly true during the whole year excepting duringthesurri T»yw months, and the worst time is when the effect* of rains and snows r— v» the gravel and clay roads noth- , fag more than strips of mud, and , sticky, dangerous mud at that. ,

Coming into Gape May from the countryside the auto tourist or express truck travelled for the most part, at least for many miles on the t>ert of concrete roads. What must be the impression of the tourist when tic crosses the Sahellenger Landing bridge and drops hub deep into the day and mud of Lafayette or Washfagton street? Time was when cities had the best roads but it seems those times are past and one must seek the city for mod and the country for hardsurfac«d travel - Hard surfaced country roads leading into Gape May are absolutely neces aary if this community is to get its phare of the auto tourists- But Cape May should have at least one main artery leading in that is as good as the country roads- Aft present there tent one road from the north that can be used to reach this city with- j 4' encountering mud and rough go- 1 teg Hie logical thing to do is to pave •Washington street from Schel lender's Landing bridge to Franklin Street. .Washington street leads in -through the best residential section and to the main business thoroughhares without a detour. It is estimated that hard surfacing this section •arfll cost $50,000 or even leas and as -Cape May has $76,000 in bonds ma--turing in 1922 it. wouldn't be a hard Job to raise the money- I It may "be true that if we wait long ; enough perhaps the state or the coun ty wSU connect over the old route ; from Reuben Johnson's crossing at ; Erma to the short section of paved ' road ending at the Cold Spring j Grange Hall and also from that point ^ to connect with the paved section end- ( fag at Sheppard "Baylor's farm a mile outside of West Gape May. But is ft wise to depend upon such an uncertain action? Neighboring resorts can be reached by the tourist over hardsurfaced roads mid when the resorts are reached he «an travel from one end to the other ores- just as good streets- Cape May oannot afford to offer less to the travelling public than her sister re jortsAMERICAN HUMOR Montague Glass, in "Stories that bsve made me laugh," tells this one: Mr. E- V. Lucas, in one of his es•ays, cites as the two classic examples ^ of American humor, the stories — Of a man who jumped off the twenty jfive story building with his rdbber boots on into a fire net and bounced up and down so many times that the Sheriff had to shoot him to i keep him from starving to death; - i Off the jerkwater railroad that had ! the cowcatcher on the rear of the train to prevent the cows from run- | ring after the last car, climbing aboard and hiring the passengers- 1 To my mind, a better example is the advice of the Tammany boss to politicians who contemplated suing 1 the newspapers for libel- I Don't sue," he said, "they might t prove it on you-" t LIGHT LUNCHES PERHAPS • \ One — Two can Hve as cheaply as ; one, and we could do light house- s bouse." « ^ The other one — Er-yes-perhaps, if i we only knew where we could find a t vacant light-bouse^" i
