Children Clamber on Shallow Water Platform Daily in Droves. Thousands of persons have visited the Twenty-sixth street beach this summer for their daily exercise and cooling off, since its opening a few weeks ago. The large platform, in the middle of the river, on which diving boards have been placed, was broken a few days ago, but the crowd has not missed it and has turned to the shallow water arid deep water platforms for their plunges. The shallow water platform is new at the beach this year, and is the most popular of any in the city. Small children, boys and girls, who do not know how to swim' climb upon the platform and make dives into the water, which is shallow enough for them to stand on bottom. Across the river is the deep water platform, and this also is popular. The platform dropped under water when a large crowd, all wishing to dive at the same time, surged to the edge. One of the regular swimmers at the river, is W. H. White, 974 Udell street, who despite his loss of one arm at the shoulder, and the other at the elbow, is one of the best

A large crowd was stationed on the back of the platform watching White, who is described as being able to go through the water “like an eel.” BATHING SUIT CODE VIOLATED BY MEN Rules Seldom Broken by Women, Guards Say. Women who have been criticised for daring bathing costumes are not the offenders this year, according to the life guards, at city pools and beaches. Instead, it is the men, succumbing to the influence of the Riviera and Florida, have gone in for topless bathing suits. Life guards have been forced to order men off the city beaches. The men do not put up much of a fuss, according to the life guards, but abashed, hurry home or downtown to buy the required swimming shirt. Rules for the women class any swimming costume which looks “decent,” as appropriate for the beach or pool. H. W. Middlesworth, recreation director, is the sole censor of what the well-dressed bather must wear. He has not blushed as often this summer as last, he declares.
