‘DON’T GO NEAR WATER,’SLOGAN OF SEA BEAUTY One-Piece Suits for Real Swimmers—Where Do We Go From Here? ANKLE-LENGTH IN ‘6o’S’ By FREDERICK J. HASKINS. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Following a onference with a bathing suit buyer and connoisseur, added to considerable ;>ersonal observation and Intensive research, we are In a position to give our readers the latest official dope on the seaside situation. The big buyer sat Imclt in his sanctum and nursed an insignificant mus--tnche and a foreign accent. "The men's’ bathing suits this year? Oh, they will be about the same as usual —plain and conTict stripe effects." And he waved his hand to dismiss the utterly boring subject of what a man wears when swimming. ‘‘Well, how about the women?" , "Ah!” The authority beamed. His mustache assumeed an angle indicating Joy and pep. He informed us that he had jus; bought a velvet bathing suit which was a triumph and which. In addition s o its other charms, might be worn in the water. The cost of this trifle, named Carry Ha Home —Carry for short—was Sob.r.;), and there was a muff to go with it to protect the batner's hands from the beat. Carry was produced for the edification of the reporter, and the buyer, who was now fully warmed up to his discourse, confided the momentous secret that scarfs of rubber to match bathing caps will be worn this year. He further prophesied that bathing suits will be worn In the mountains ss a novelty next season. |iO “KICK” IN SUITS MERELY. But there Is not much kick in talking abont bathing suits in a store, or even in looking at them on blonde wax models. A nearby beach yielded more authentic information as to what is actually being done In the various beach circles. s * A copper-colored life guard treated to grape jnlce, loosened up more than one would think possible. He almost wept over the new order that forbids guards at that particular beach to flirt with the girls. He said that It made It harder to protect human life, because the girls all said he was an old crawfish, and that If he couldn't be polite, they wouldn’t let him rescue them any more. The guard admitted that conditions are worse at several New York beaches where policemen have been given pistols and authority to use them if necessary, to keep girls la one-piece suits and stockingless knees out of sight. One-piece affairs were barred at his beach, the guard said, but there was no law against fancy costumes, and he pointed out a young woman clad In a purple suit that was almost au evening gown. In fact, it was mire than an evening gown, for It had all the low neck characteristics of a woman's full-dress uniform. and the shortness of skirt made It a bathing suit besides. The wearer tripped lightly down to the sand, settled a red rubber handkerchief •round as much of her shoulders as possible (the buyer said they would be wearing ’em) and proceeded to look unconscious for the benefit of more fully attired bathers. NOT CREATED FOR SEA DUTY. Obviously her beruflfled and fluted costume was not created for sea duty. The life guard said It reminded him of a girl who took a strictly beach bathing suit Into the water by mistake. The suit had depended mainly on glue and dry weather to keep It intact, and he had to rescue the young swimmer with a raincoat. The dry land bathing suit is the most striking type this year, but It Is not the most usual. Girls as a rule put on a bathing suit In order to go Into the water, and suits •re getting more practical to meet the needs of the athletic young women. The one-piece suit, unhnmpered by skirts and superfluous material. Is rapidly gaining approval, though it still shocks some people and is barred at a good many beaches. When police headquarters and beach superintendents get reconciled to It the bathing suit will presumably change •gain—that Is, If Its past can be taken for the future —for the bathing suit has always been a steadily changing Institution based on the principle of novelty and shocks. No one has, apparently, written a complete history of this important garment, or even a treatise showing its Influence on history. Out of the bathing suit's hazy past a few scenes stand uot In relief. One of these Is a description of the German baths at Baden nearly a century before Columbus started out to make America famous. The report la by a Roman gentleman who traveled to the baths for gout and who was, as the neighbors had said he would be, altogether surprised. He wrote a letter to a friend about it, and years later it was published as an example of what awful things the Europeans used to do. What the Roman visitor saw was very like an aqnatlc cabaret. The ladies floated about in the water wearing Greek draperies and wreaths e* roses. They flirted and exchanged shafts of wit with the large audience which was always gathered on the shore to applaud. Gentlemen on the sidelines flung roses and coins Into the water to the prettiest girls, and the mermaids, the debutantes of the middle ages, dived for them and quarreled pleasantly among themselves for the favors. Men who came In where the ladles were taking the water wore garinenta something like linen dusters. DINNER SERVED WHILE BATHING. At dinner time tables bearing meals were floated out so that the bathers could get the benefit of the medicine waters while enjoying a dnner party. Afterwards those present played games at the floating tables, or sang and played musical instruments in the water. The bathing suits of the time were, as we have mentioned, of linen or muslin, though at some resorts where men and women bathed separately, a necklace and wreath of flowers were considered adequate costume. After this, there was a gap In the bathing suit's career. By 1860 men were beginning to wear one-piece suits as the practical thing for swimming, but the women were ail sewed up In blue serge from choker collar to ankle-length bloomers and a kneelength skirt besides, for extra protection Even at that it was not considered quite proper for ladies to appear in public in bathing suits, especially if men iwere bathing nearby. The radicals of the day took great pains to demonstrate that these enveloping bathing suits were modest and suitable and Insisted that eventually the public would get used to them. But as soon as the public stopped talking about the ultra-fashlonabia bathing snit of ISOO, beach styles skipped along !
Planes Will Carry Mail to Alaska |g cT Route of New York to Nome flight.
The war department has announced complete plans for an experimental airplane flight from New York to Nome, Alaska,-and back. The expedition, composed of four machines of the DH-4B type, manned by army aviators, will start from Mitchell field, L. 1., on July la. The immediate purpose of the experiment is to show the possibility of aerial mail service between inland cities of
to a point where people could continue to be shocked. Itloomers got shorter, necks got lower, sleeves vanished, until the one-piece bathing suit for women was evolved. Where the bathing suit can go from a one-piece affair is a question which a conservative-minded person would hesitate to answer. The Annette is already a masterpiece as to conservation of material and strictly businesslike cut. Maybe, like the human race, the onepiece bathing suit is a finished product. NOW , GIRLS , BE BRAVE FOR THIS Lover Capable of Forgetting Sweeties in Dreams! LONDON, July 10.—There Is always someone trying to smash love's young dream! It will no longer do for lovers to swear to their best beloveds that every night they dream of them. "The sincerest of lovers is quite capable of forgetting the existence of his love during his dream life,” said Mr. William Archer, lecturing on ‘'Dreams" before the Royal Institution recently. He was aware of no evidence, that lovers frequently dreamed of their beloved. Moat of the dreaming of ordinary healthy people, he went on, bad no more portent than the shapes imagined in the dying embers of a fire. Consciousness Is only the surface of an unfathomable ocean. Dreams are dredges by which these depths may be reached, for they furnish memories of which the waking mind leaves no trace. "It Is very strange that we should all be leading two lives, the one rational in the real world and the other irrational and fantastic In the world of the brain," ho said. “That men are Irresponsible lunatics for eight hours out of every twenty-four shows that roan was not intended by the Almighty to be a rational being.”
Farmers’ Problem to Care for Wheat CONCORDIA, Kas.. July 10.—With prospects for a record wheat crop along the central branch this season, farnieri can’t find a place to store grain. Lumber Is too scarce for building bins. Steel tanks are so slow In delivery that they can not be assured. County agents have advised farmer* to store as much grain as possible if they insist on thrashing from the shock. Agents advise holding the grain until fall for thrashing. Because of the car shortage the bulk of the 1919 crop has not been moved and It Is, doubtful, farmers say. If any of the 1920 crop can be moved. Harding 1 Would Have V. P. in His Cabinet MARION, July 19.—Senator Harding announced today that If he is elected president, the vice president will be Invited to participate as an ex-officio member at ail cabinet meetings. The republican nominee believes that such n course would elevate the office of the vice president and would cease to make him a virtual figurehead in the nation’s affairs. The president, by calling in the vice president, would have also the advantage of additional counsel from his "chief partner,” Harding said. Returns to Germany HARTFORD CITY*, Ind, July 10.— Philip I.auck, 44, a native of Germany, but a naturalized American citizen since 1900, w.’ll leave Aug. X for Hamburg and Haingrund, his native village, for a visit. He has not been back since he left for America in 1898.

LLOYD GEORGE IS TARGET OF SUFFS And Asquith—Well, He Almost Had Head Punched. LONDON, July 10. —"We have to stand against the tyranny of sex, of class, of economics, and. above all, the tyranny of militarism and commercialism." This was part of an impassioned speech made by Mrs. PethlcU Lawrence at Klngsway hall recently. Lloyd George, the prime minister, was tbo cause of a certain amount of ironic laughter during the course of the meeting. A message was read from him expressing bis disappointment at being unable to be present at a meeting In which be was “so deeply lntereeted." It was fairly evident that the women present did not take much stock In the "depths” of his regret. Mme. Suzanne G.'lnberg, one of th first women to be enrolled at the Parisian bar, gave a very excellent address In French and In English. Mrs. Saropine Natdu, a well known Indian poetess, said that the suflrage movement, by the way It had extended to India and the east generally, had proved the falsity of Kipling's state roent: "East is east and west l* west, and mver the twain shall meet." “Women," commented the speaker, "have transmuted the Impossible into the regions of achievement." MDb Lena Ashwell told of the old days of militant Suffragism. Bhe confessed that she loathed Mr Asquith, and said that If It had not been unladylike she would have willingly ‘‘punched his head." Miss Ashwtoll was anothar of the women who asserted that all the power of womanhood would be devoted to ending the possibility of warfare. She r.n (luded: "The Intelligence of women Is going to be used to see that there will be no more fighting." Miss Maude Royden, the woman preacher, who is to be the first of her sex to deliver a sermon from tha pulpit formerly occupied by John Calvin In the Cathedral of Geneva, touched on the Inequalities between men and women where pay, morality and the pulpit are concerned. * , Women from South Africa and Japan also gave short addresses

WHY NOT TOUCH LIKE THIS TO ALL HOLDUPS? Gallant Turkish Bandits Kiss Fair Fingers They Rob of Jewels. ’TWAS A MERRY STICKUP MARSEILLES, July 10.—No pirate of the Spanish Main had any more right to call himself a “Jolly sea rover" than the band of carefree Turkish raiders who went through the passengers of the French steamer Sourah off Batum recently just like an oid-tlme train robber In the west. The story of the holdup has Just been told here by Capt Mattel of the Sourah, which has Just reached port on the return trip. Gallantry was one of the conspicuous traits of the band. They bent low over the hands of the women passengers before proceeding to despoil them of their rings. They begged pardon before breaking open a trunk which they Imagined contained valuables. They were polite to the commander and the crew and said “Au revolr, bon voyage!" in the pleasantest tone imaginable when they left with their booty. WAS PLEASANT PIRATE BAND! If Capt. Mattel had read a certain volume of sea stories by an American author he would have sold that the chief of the band was "the pleasantest pirate who ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship." Here is part of the captain’s story: "We left Batum on Mtay 6 with about 000 passengers, of whom a large part were French. "The twenty-five bandits who finally held us up came aboard with tickets and passports in order. “They were quiet and affable, although I remembered later that they professed to be bolshevik!. ‘‘We were on our way to Trebizond when about 8 o’clock In the evening the bandits, who had taken up strategic po. sitlons all over the ship, covered m*- and my officers with revolvers and announced that they owned the vessel. "They proceeded to demolish the wireless installation and while a dozen of them kept watch over us the rest went through the saloons and cablus. "They Inspected everything. •TWAS WITH EXQUISITE GRACE. "They broke Into trunks. "The pirates were very gallant, especially tokrird the French women passengers. “I saw two of them. Georgians, I believe. who bowed with exquisite grace before one woman who was in a panic of fright, and tell her In passable French not to worry. “They took her bag. emptied It and handed It back with thanks. "Others kissed the women's hands and then tactfully drew Jewelled rings from the fingers they had Just embraced. "The loot amounted to about 2,000.000 francs. "One Frenchman loat 130.000 francs •nd a Persian passenger was relieved of 700.000. “At 1 o'clock In the morning the chief of the band ordered Capt Mattel to sail toward the coast. "When about a mile off shore the hand commandeered two boats and rowed away, shouting ‘Bon voyage,' and waving their hands to the passengers." WISHES rHONE RATE R VISE. The Sandbank Telephone Company, Tipton county, has filed a petition with the public service commission for an Increase of rates.

Surrender of Villa, Federal Ultimatum MEXICO CITY, July 10.—Only unconditional surrender of Francisco Villa, bandit leader, will be considered by the Mexican government, It was officially announced today. This was a flat refusal of Villa’s armistice terms, published in El Universal yesterday. The official statement said Villa was no longer a military problem and the government forces were capable of defeating him, making negotiations unnecessary. HIGH PERCENTAGE IN QUAIL HATCH Twelve of Fourteen Eggs From Riverside Produce Chicks. Twelve of the fourteen abandoned quail eggs sent by Julius Kitting, superintendent of Riverside park, to the state game experiment station for incubation have hatched and a dozen healthy quail chicks are the result, Frank Hasselmsn, supervisor, writes to officials of the department of conservation. “This is a remarkable record," says Mr. Hasselraan, "as the eggs were sent parcel post by the ordinary mail delivery." It would be considered good if 50 per cent of chicken eggs sent the same way would hatch at this time of the year, he claims. Wonderful progress is being made at itds station, where the state is experimenting with the propagation of game birds and small fur bearers. Out of thirteen quail hatched from a setting of fourteen eggs, Mr. Hasselmnn says, oniy one bird died and this one incubated a day behind the others and iiad to be assisted from its shell. At 9% weeks of age these birds are feathered out, and at 18 days old, when be opened the door of their enclosure they rose en masse with a burr of wings. Three of the chicks escaped, and the wings of the others have been clipped t > in-event their sudden departure to the open. While quails hatched at the station mature rapidly it is interesting to uoie that it takes five 1-day old quails to weigh one ounce. Young turkeys at 2 days old average two ounces. Experience has taught that in propagutlng wild game bird life the danger in rearing both pheasants and quail 2a not In underfeeding but in overfeeding. They must be fed a little at a time and often, to imitate nature so far as possible in the wild state, where they find a bug here and a seed yonder. Fire regular feeding periods each day are maintained at the station. At this time there is at the station six wild turkeys, fifty seven quail, twen-ry-seven Mallard ducks sixty-four English pheasants eleven golden pheasants eight silven pheasants. The station keeps about thirty bantam bens, used for In cubattng the quail and pheasant eggs. Boy Smothers Fire; Saves Sister’s Life WABASH.

MAN WHO BROKE JAIL KEEPS NERVE Hardacre Tries to Meet Cellmate Aboard Train. Attempts to recapture the fifteen federal prisoners still at large as the result of the Marlon county jail delivery last Monday morning took anew form today as a result of a bold attempt on the part of Harry Hardacre, one of the escaped prisoners, to communicate with former cell mates on their way to tbe federal prison at Atlanta, In a special car in charge of United States Deputy Marshal C. E. Whicker, who returned yesterday afternoon. Deputy Whicker said the train was nearing Lexington, Ky., last Thursday night, when a man came to him and asked to speak to Harry O’Havre, one of the federal prisoners. The man, who he afterward .learned was Hardacre, became lnsistant, Wicker said, at which he asked him the relations between O’Havre and himself. LEAVES TRAIN AT LEXINGTON. Before the train reached Lexington, Hardacre left it, Deputy Whicker said, and it was then that one of the prisoners told him that the mun was Hardacre. A search of the train was made, Deputy Whicker said, but Hardacre could not be found, but an inquiry the next morning brought to light that Hardacre was a member of a -“arty of marine recruits who had ooarded the train at Cincinnati with orders to report to the forwarding station at Atlanta. Noncommissioned officers in charge of the party said that Hardacre had enlisted Monday at Cincinnati under the alias of Harry E. Denny. Nothing had been seen of him since tne train left Lexington the night before, the noncommissioned officers said. PROMISES TO REPORT AT ATLANTA. Information received upon his arrival at Atlanta, Deputy Whicker said, was that Hardacre, using the name of Harry E. Denny, had telegraphed to Atlanta the night before that he missed the train at Lexington while at lunch and that he would report to marine officials at Atlanta as soon as the arrival of the next train. The Atlanta police will keep on the lookout for him, he said. Failure to report to the marine authorities means that Hardacre, alias Denny, will be liable to courtraartial for desertion and he was already under an Indictment by the Marion county grand
