Frank H. Newcomb of the United

sistant inspector of the first and second
life saving districts. acting under in
structions Of General Superintendent
Kimball of the life saving service, has
investigated and made a report on a

Atlantic coast. The plan has resulted
in the publication Of a Historical
Souvenir of the Life Saving Service of

prohibited, will be put on sale at the
several life saving stations along the
coast. 1t is alleged that less than %
per cent of the amounts paid by SYM
