On some of the hot Sundays thi i summer more than 500,000 flocked to the spacious beach to enjoy the cool sea breezes, lunch on the sands, and take a refreshing dip. But most of these thousands pay but scant attention to the rollercoaster, freak shows or other amusement diversions. The two decades between 11*00 and 1920 marked the golden age of Manhattan's famous resort. It was during this period that the hotels along the shore were jammed with guests, the midway the mecca of thousands.

THALBERG DEATH DEEPLY MOURNED . ' Final Rites Wednesday For “Boy Wonder” Os Movies Hollywood, Sept. 15—(UP) —The: 'movie colony, quiet and saddened,, j today awaited last rites for 'lrving | ! Thalberg. 37-year-o’d "boy wonder" ; of the Cinema industry, who died, unexpectedly yesterday from pneu-| monia. The executive's beautiful widow., Lscreen star Norma Shearer, went [ into seclusion with membet 1 ? of herj I family immediately after Thalberg'si | death. She waa reported near col-1 [ lapse. The funeral will be held tomor- 1 i row. The Rabbi Edgar F Magnin, i Southern California ttdigious leader ; robably will < undv.< t the funeral I services.

~ were at their peak and were t nationally known. Transportation was cheaper ■ than before the turn of the century > and the millions who lived in 1 modest style in Brooklyn. Man- ' hattan and the Queens found it within their means to' take frequent excursions to the huge amusement park. Ingenious promoters invented I new rides and devised new attrac- • tions as fast as the old ones lost • in favor. The games of chance attracted a huge play and fortunes ’ were made in a season by those who managed the more popular ■ attractions. Movies, the automobile, radio and modern newspaper have taken much of the color out of the midway for the generation of today, however. No longer do they thrill to the somewhat naive diversions which once Intrigued Coney's thousands of visitors. Admissions have been reduced without avail. The golden age of the amusement park seems past and Coney Island appears to be headed for extinction!

KNOX FINISHES MONTANA TOUR Reiterate Statement Life Insurance Policy Insecure Aboard Knox CampH.ign Train, | Helena, Mont., Sept. 15 (U.R) | Frank Knox. Republican vice presidential nominee, today concluded I his Montana campaign tour with I the assertion that ‘'profligate squandering" ot public funds by [ the Roosevelt administration has I made "no life insurance policy secure.'* This issue has been joined, he said, by President Roosevelt, with governmental economy to conserve the peoples’ savings. Knox's contention was prompted; ! by a conference scheduled today I between President Roosevelt and I insurance company executives which Knox said was called "to consider the state of the companies they represent." It waa believed here that the Insurance conference would prepare data to refute Knox’s charge at Allentown. Pa., that “no savings account is safe” unuer new deal j fiscal policies. Knox tore up neaxly all of his address originally prpeared for last night at Helena, to write an entirely new last minute speech directed at the president's insur--1 ance conference today. i Knox quoted Mr. Roosevelt’s 111)32 campaign addresses in an effort to prove that he advocated [ the same policies the Republican , party espouses now. "Since the present adminlstraI tion took office in 1933 the value 1 of life insurance policies and every savings account has been reduced.” Knox eaid. The reason for this, he charged is that the interest rajte on fed- ■ eral bonds, many of which are I ; life insurance investments, is now j 1 so low that they are not satiefac- [ I tory investments. i "Insurance companies," Knox said, "are as safe as the Rock of ; Gibrajtar, but it is the administraI tion of the American government i j that is unsound.” Knox asserted that "it is high ' | time the government should be 1 ' worrying" about the stability- of its financial institutions which , the new deal is undermining by k ! profligate squandering." . — ° ' ——— Soviet Government Charges New Plot Moscow, Sept. 15— (U.R) —The, '' Soviet government announced to-1 ! day- the discovery of a plot by , : , Trotzkyists to sabotage construc- ■ tion of the huge dam at Vakhstroi : 1 on the Vakhsh river. ri Comrade Toltostopiatov, said to II be a follower of the exiled 80l1 shevik leader.

Any old RAGS? Any old SHOES? YOU remember the man who said he owned a suit for every day in the week—the one he had on. All of us, these past years, have had to make our old shoes and hats and dresses and suits do double worn them months longer than usual simply to save money. Now that things are brigher, i’s a good idea to take stock and stock up. While fall’s still young, invest, if you feel able, in a new suit, a new hat, a new rug for the living-room, perhaps a new refrigerator, or a vacuum cleaner! Prices the likely to be lower than you expect — and after all, don’t you deserve a change of scenery, personal and household? . One word watch the advertising in this paper carefully before you buy. Real money can be saved by judicious buying — and judicious buying is often a matter of first reading the advertising columns! Read them today and reap ... more for your money!
