WANTS TAME BATHING SUITS

Chicago Alderman Would Make Illegal the One-Piece Costume. Chicago, June 4. —Alderman Dunn Is having drawn up in the corporation counsel’s a supplementary bathing beach ordinance. If passed, the measure will put a stop to" mixed bathing, and the sexes will be carefully segregated in their own little precincts of sand and lake water. The one-piece bathing suits which created such a sensation when a few daring and shapely young women wore them on the Wilson avenue beaches last summer will be ruthlessly legislated out of the city limits If the other aldermen subscribe to the ordinance. It is specifically enjoined in the new bill that "in al! cases two-piece bathing suits must be worn.”
