By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Atlantic City is a city of leg*. Everything and everybody In Atlantic City exhibits their legs. Even the piers show their legs, with as mnch unconcern as thousands of hu- I man beings, who frolic in the sand and the ocean. I spent the Fourth of July at Atlantic City with E. Roltare Eggleston, manager of Keith’s, and other members of nis party, consisting of Mayor Charles Jewett, (Bill) Herschell and the Hon. Robert O. Tucker. The mayor and the host of this wonderful party decided that. Indianapolis legs would add BMBMH future beauty Rl ; to the big ocean < Honor and our est bathing have not in the past seen very much of oiar -ore. ■ •s Ag thß t w, * bold swimmers RTT-t v a failed in their STYLE A attempt to get the Hon. Mr. Tucker in Kellerman attire, because Tucker looks like a million dollars in a wheel chair, as he reclines thoughtfully on his famous caue. they decided to land in the Atlantic. And lor three hours the theater manager and the mayor of Indianapolis frolicked in the ocean. I have always refused to appear in pnblic in a bathing suit and I balked in trying the experiment at Atlantic Ci'y on the Fourth. To be candid, 1 weigh only IK pounds with my clothes on and I refuse to start a panic by taking off some of my weight and appearing in a two-piece bathing suit. The other reason is that when I weigh 105 pounds I am in the "pink” of condition and I did not want to remove the pink by a coat of sunburn. While Mr. Tucker was wheeled over the board walk. Bill Herschell, the Hoosier poet and close friend of the late James Whitcomb Riley, and myself hoofed It over the famous walk. BUI told me that I would fail on my first visit to Atlantic City if I did not eat a "hot dog” sandwich and I——Bgß 1 drink a g'ass 1 '•'\ -| - . f of orange ; M Juice. So the J, x t.

shock when he reported that we had ■ seen a bear swimmer. There are two kinds of bathing suits at Atlantic City. Those that are made for the water and those that are made for show. Less than half of the bathing clad folk on the beach actually go into the water. The other half strut about In the sun. The men just as much as the women. MEN AS VAIN AS THE WOMEN. The stay-outs of the water; that is, the female part of the tribe, appear with their faces made up like a chorus girl's. Their stockings are marvels of hosiery art. It is those who have the nifty shapes who do the walking. The fat ones and the ugly ones are the swimmers at Atla#!c City. The million-dollar dolls strut about in their bathing beaches and at times their stunning costumes lured the masculine members from the surf. Frankly speaking, I think the prevailing leg at Atlantic City is of the ham fat type. It seems that- fat women have taken to bathing. The slim ones strut about on the beach. The difference between the water bathing suit and the strutting bathing garb Is about $75. I am confident that some of those strutting beach dames spent hours perfecting their toilet, and what i a shame it would be to let the Atlantic Ocean wash away their handiwork. If some ever went into the ocean I am sure the good old Atlantic would resemble a rainbow. The vainest thing in the world Is a woman who puts on a bathing suit for walking purposes alone. A bathing suit is made for the water, not for the sun, bat, oh. boy. how the sons of the board walk stared at what was below the bathing suits which never dip in water. It would be a crime if a sudden rain should arrive and dash some water on these priceless outfits. Some of the women wore high heel shoes and that kind of foot wear was never In-

BARE LEGS ARE TABOOED. The Atlantic City beach has It on our Ravenswor.. The women at the Indianapol'j beach do not wear stockings but at Atlantic City the women must at least have stockings on. I guess that is because there arc So many swell women hosiery stores on the board walk. Legs are everything at Atlantic CPy. The shapely ones never go near the water. ‘Legs is legs’ whether in the water or on the beach, but they differ in shape and the kind of stockin’a on ’em. Men, women and children, proses--1 sional men, actors, men who wear the : cloth, rich men and the make-believes, honest men and crooks all meet at the j beach. This is the land of show and -exhibition. It is the land of legs. You will not be shocked, as everybody is j happy at Atlantic City, whether they I are in the water or on-ibe beach. I And let me say here that the mayor I of Indianapolis was one of the best swlm- | mers there.

MAN OF MYSTERY LANDS ON BEACH RIDING ON RAFT Ijnknoum Scares Bathers and Puzzles Police—Can Not Give Name. NEW YORK, July 7.—A silent, mysterious man’of the sea, riding in from the ocean before the tide on a plank, caused timorous bathers at Long Beach a fright and gave the police of the seaside, resort something to think about. Floating in from the open sea the man was at first thought to be a bather on a raft. As the waves brought him nearer It was seen that he was fully dressed and that his appearance was not that of a

bather. He sat erect and motionless on his plank, and when he arrived at the beach, strode silently ashore, disregarding the calls of bathers. Only hLs lower garments were wet. Judging from the direction from which he came, he must have traveled for hours In the water. When Patrolman Cornelius Monahan asked the strange arrival his name, the

PROBLEMS Y > OF The.By-Prodiict Coking Business 18. Coal Supply and Finances In several recent statements we have explained most of the factors in our problem of coal supply. We have shown how essential it is to get coal of suitable quality and. how many conditions may arise to prevent us from getting the coal after we have bought it. These are all technical operating problems. But not less important is the financial problem. Coal cannot ba obtained without paying for it. In times of shortage or panic we have to pay very high prices for a considerable portion of our supplies. In normal times prudence requires us to buy a large proportion of our supplies under contracts running over several months. To guard against interruptions we accumulate stocks far in excess of immediate needs. Two very serious problems confront us at this point: 1. Buying coal in advance of immediate needs and accumulating stocks far in excess of immediate needs, there is always danger that the current market price will go down, leaving us with high-priced coal and contracts on our hands. If the price of coal goes down, the price of coke is almost certain to follow it. Therefore, whether we have large stocks of coal on hand when the market breaks or have converted the coal into coke which we still hold we must suffer a serious loss. We cannot “hedge” as the miller does, because coal is not standardized and handled on exchanges. We must simply stand the loss. At no previous time has our loss from the decline in coal prices been so great as at the present time. We still have on hand—fortunately not a very large proportion—some coal which cost ns $13.00 a ton and which could be duplicated today at $6.00. And after the break came in coal prices last December we have received very large quantities of coal on contracts which ran until last April at prices averaging over $7.50 a ton. This means a heavy loss—prac- / tically all of which was incurred in assuring our ovens a sufficient supply of coal for operation during the months of heaviest gas demand, 2. Aside from the actual loss due to shrinkage in value of coal supplies, the maintenance of suitable supplies involves a heavy financial burden. Suppose we should undertake to build up 60-days’ reserves by the first of next November. That would mean approximately 125,000 tons of coal in stock. That quantity of suitable coal could not be bought and laid away on the present spot market, but would have . to be bought for delivery running up to the beginning of winter. The cost would not be less than $6.50 per ton, or a total investment of of over SBOO,OOO. This would have to be altogether apart from all other working capital used in the business. To finance such a reserve in normal times is not a small matter; but in times like the present it is complicated by the fact that we still have on hand in the form of coke all the coal reserves which we provided for last winter, together with further accumulations during the past spring. The large stocks of coke which we now have on hand represent previous coal supplies which cost us considerably over sl,000,000. Therefore, the financing of necessary coal reserves which would require SBOO,OOO if business were normal, now requires about $2,000,000. No winter comes without bringing up these many vexed problems of coal supply—and the greatest of these is the financial problem. Not that our coal supplies become a problem only in winter—for there is no time when they do not require constant attention. But the problem becoides especially serious in winter because of our obligation to keep up the city’s gas supply. This prevents us from handling onr coal supplies strictly from the point of view of coke demand, as we should otherwise do. CITIZENS GAS COMPANY

man saemed unable to answer, and could only write two meaningless words and “America.” Thinking that food might improve the man’s condition, Monahan got him a meal. The man ate, but sparingly. And he kept the same strange silence. A search of his pockets reveladed two religious emblems, a few pennies, a camera

lens and viewfinder. A clergyman wi called. At the sight of the priest the man burst into tears, but said not a word. Pending a physician’s report, the pelice are operating on the theory that the man is a heat victim and had shoved off from nearby point on bis plank In quest of a cooler climate.
