There is at least one jealous in this city. and
he is jealous OF the beach life guards. The other
day he sent communication TO one OF the local
naners asking if ii was the duty of the guards 10
give swimming lessons their women friends and
take them rowing in lfeboats. 1t seems rather
strange that a life guard could not be nice" to
fair friend without exciting the envy Of some per-
Jealousy. 1t is very seldom that the life guards
oondescend to take any one in their boats. As for
giving a swimming lesson, most of them are SO
bashful that if pretty young woman asked one
of them to teach her 10 swim ne would have to
be carried the hospital to recuperate- AS a
rule the life guards of this city fine lot OF
men. and among the best and strongest swimmers
along the coast. The fact that there are so few
fatalities in the surf tribute TO their prowess
and capabilities.

the Atlantic City Inlet is matter that is caus-
ing the people Of Longport and Ocean City little
concern. The broad inlet is now so shallow at low
that with considerable difficulty that the
boats Of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
Company, which ply between Ocean City and Long
port escape stranding. 1t has been suggested that
some of the government money which is now being
used to dig little creeks in the interior might
be employed to better advantage if it were uti-
ized for the purpose Of widening and deepening
the harbor there and at other places along the
Jersey coast, which would afford refuge Tor yes

built little huts along the beach, saturating them
with oil and setting fire them. When they have

have extinguished the blaZes. Invariably they
have left the remains of the little huts standing.

said that any one caught throwing anything on

Company has extended the limits OF that island.
which they have been working for the last year by
the erection of bulkheads and the filling in Of a
large section, suggests the possibility that all
the landowners follow like course there will
eventually be very little water between this city
and the mainland. Chelsea Heights is being ener
