CITY'S MARBLE CHAMP TO SEE FAMEDRESORT Jersey Play Spot Makes Great Preparations for Lads. RINGER STADIUM, OCEAN CITY, N. J., June 12.—When The Times marble champion, representing Indianapolis, visits this resort for the national tournament, which open June 22, he will see one of the nation's most charming seashore playgrounds. Ocean City enjoys an unique position among the Atlantic coast resorts. It is among the oldest and yet most popular spots along the Atlantic ocean. The city is situated about sixty miles from Philadelphia, Pa., and boast of an eight-mile expanse of fine, hard beach along the ocean. Cooling breezes constantly sweep the city from the waterways by which it is surrounded. Bathing beaches in the resort have become famous throughout the country. The long expanse of beach provides an excellent playground for thousands of pleasure sekers who throng the city during the summer. Beach Is Safe The beach constantly is patrolled by a sturdy battalion of life guards, which makes swimming safe for young and old alike. No fatalities ever have occurred along the protected areas on Ocean City’s beach. Ocean City’s boardwalk takes first rank with other resorts of the world. It is amply fringed with rest pavilions and park benches where visitors may view the magnificent sweep of the Atlantic ocean. Along the miles and miles of sweep is a glittering aray of shops, stores and theaters. Here one may buy anything from jewels to articles usually sold in 5-and-10-cent stores. Behind the line of attractive shops and stores is a luxurious expanse of hotels—great hostelries where Ocean City’s visitors are quartered in style and comfort. Chief among the city’s attractions is the huge music hall, where daily band and orchestra concerts are given by leading bands of the country and Ocean City’s own municipal and American Legion bands. Pier Cost $250,000 One of the newest and latest allurements of the resort is the $250,000 municipal pier, just completed. Tire pier contains the only overocean solarium inclosed in vitaglass along the Jersey coast. The structure is planned to intensify health-giving ultra-violet rays of the sun. Another exceptional sight in the city is the large convention hall, where convention are held annually by groups from all parts of the country. For those who prefer tennis and golfiing Ocean City is equipped adequately to suit the demands of the most exacting. The city has built and maintains twenty-two clay courts. These are located near the beach and are open every day except Sunday. Plans were being completed here today for entertainment of the boys who will come here late in the month to participate in the national marbles tournament. City officials have taken great interest in the forthcoming appearance of the nations premier marble shooters, and a program of interest is being prepared.

NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL COMPOSES WALTZ Doris Jean Conner Will Play Her Own Composition at Piano Recital Tonight of Mrs. White’s Pupils. GENERALLY it would be considered sufficient for a 9-year-old child to play the piano fairly well instead of being a composer at the same time. Tonight at the piano recital of the pupils of Mrs. Frances McClure Light at the Wilking Music Company, Doris Jean Conner, 9, 1101 Eugene street, will play one of her own compositions. The child has written a waltz which she calls “Jean’s Waltz,” and her name on the program looks very commanding.

F Sharp Major” and “La Campanella.” Miss Conner will open the recital with a Bach number, “Minuet," followed by “Secrets of the Attic,” by Beach. Jeanette Andrews
follows with “On a Silver Cloud” and “Pollewog.” Patricia Sprague will play “The Clock” and “March of the Wee Folk.” The first boy on the program will be Richard Hesfeelgrave, who will play two numbers. Jackie Farr will follow with “Banjo - Pickaninnies.” June Gardner will play “Gretchen and Her Wooden Shoes,” followed by Mary Batchelder
playing “Twilight.” Then Magdaline Snyder follows with “Valse Lucille” and Lillian Starost follows with “Gypsy Airs.” The program is full of youth, even the numbers reflecting it. n st tt Indianapolis theaters today offer: Horace Heidt and his Californians at the Indiana, “Up Pops the Devil” at the Circle, “Born to Love” at the Ohio. “Strictly Dishonorable” at English’s, “Laughing Sinners” at the Palace, “Maltese Falcon” at the Lyric, “Daddy Long Legs” at the Apollo, and burlesque at the Mutual.

Early Lite to Be Studied Since the meeting is being held on the Pacific side of America, in a region where the problems and possibilities that lie in the ccean figure largely, a prominent place on the program has been given to a symposium on problems in oceanographic research, under the chairmanship of T.

NEW ERA NEAR IN U. S. FOREIGN SERVICE RANKS Recent Law Creates Higher Rewards for Service in Other Lands. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 12.—A new regime in the foreign service, which many state department officials believe will enable ambitious men of modest means to carve out a successful career, will be inaugurated under an executive order putting into the effect the provisions of the recently enacted Mosses-Linthicum bill. This order, just made public, is designed to throw financial safeguards around the career officer and improve the quality of America’s representation abroad. Under the new regime, young men entering the foreign service will not have to wait several years for a salary increase until they can be advanced into a higher “class." Raises of SIOO annually in the lower grades and S2OO in the higher may be obtained yearly by officers doing efficient work. The poor man’s burden also is alleviated by “representation al-

Other provisions designed to protect the foreign service officer and attract ambitious young men are: 1. Voluntary retirement after thirty years, regardless of age.
