AIRING TIME ON THE COAST.
when the Life-savInw stations in
New Jersey Have Their stock
OF Clothing 0ut.

Spring Is airing time at the life-sasing
stations along the New Jersey coast.
At every station. from Sandy Hook to
Cape May Point, wearing apparel is
taken out of chests and hung out where
the fresh sea hreezes can blow through
There is enough clothing stored at
these stations To stock a shop. There
are garments To iii menand women, and
boys and girls. Even babies afe pro-
vided. OF course the stock of ehildren's
clothing Is rather limited, as there Is
rarely eall for II. The majority of
the wearing apparel is for the use OF
men. All this clothing is kept in readi-
ness for the uufortunatcs who may he

There Is not a government life-saving
station ON the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf
coast of the United States but what Is
the pussessar OF such u clothing outfit.
The stations ON the great lakes are SINH
liarly supplied. There are stations
where there has seldom been need of
this clothing. but springtine never
passes without every garment, hat or
shoe being well aired This is "a duty
which one of the patrolmen must per
form each year On the other hand
there are stations along the Atlantic,
especially ON the New England coast,
where there is little opportunity of
airing the stock of clothing, shipwrccks
being so frequent that the supply of
wearing apparel is constantly becom-
ing exhausted. Most OF the clothing Is
supplied By the Women's Benevolent
seameu's Aid Society of New York.
la speaking of these contributions of
clothing, Capt, Kit Ludlam, keeper of
the Stone llarhor On. j. life-Aaving
station, said. 1.-THE last time had oc-
casion to resort 20 our clothing chest

In the cases of several States,
especially where no representative
was present, the committee were
chosen from the same town because
they were better known TO those
present. This was the case with
Minnesota. Most of these have
accepted the position and are quiet
ly organizing their States, accord
ing to the constitution and by
laws as printed. 1t is hoped and
believed that by the time the an
nual convention meets here in
Chicago. Aug. 10th, that delegates
representing bona fide local councils
in every State will be present.
Any number of persons may or
ganize local council by sending
to the secretary for a copy Of the
constitution and bylaws, and call
ing together ten persons. 1t is
estimated that at least ten persons
may be found in every community
who will pool their strength for
race benefit. If this is 50. there
should be a splendid meeting in
