Nine years later, when DR.. Newell
had become 4 member OF Congress from
New Jersey, he spoke before the House
on the necessity OF federal life saving
and gave the points of his plan for such
service, based on his study of the prob
lem during the years between the ship
wreck he has described and his election
to Congress. So ardently did he cham
pion his plan that he drew to his sup
port Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy
Adams, among other influential men-
bers OF the House. and when the light
house bill came over from the Senate
the House inserted 4 clause providing
for an appropriation of $1,000 for the
establishment of eight life saving sta
lions and their equipment on the New
Jersey coast between Sandy Hook and
fLittle Egg Harbor; the Senate concur
ring in the amendment.
The next year DIR. Newell secured an
appropriation of $4,000 for the exten-
sion OF the service from Little Egg Har-
Dor to Cape May, at the southermost
end of the New Jersey Coast, and the
Government was fairly launched in the
work OF life saving.
The new service, the first few wears OF
its existence. more than justified the ex-
pectations of Dr. Newell and other ad-
vocates, but there came tine when ii
got to be Il political plaything and
speedily feel into disrcpute. though there
was never lack of herosm on the part
of the crews. All this time the service
was limited to the Atlantic seaboard :;
that is, what service there was, with
the stations closed a good part of the
year by the Governments parsimony.
In the later sixties, when Congressman
Sunset" Cox took up the cudgcls in
behalf of the service. it had become com
pletely disorganized. By 1871 it had
been reorganized. thanks to Mr.. Cox.
and this is the organization that exists
to-day, the like of which is to be found
nowhere else on the globe. Canada is
the only other country maintaining life
saving service not volunteer, but it is
not to be mentioned in the same breath
with ours.
Since the seventies the service has
been extended all along the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards. the shore of the
Gulf Of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
While a majority of the nearly three
hundred life saving stations are to be
found on the Atlantic seaboard, due to
the storminess Of the Atlantic and IFS
heavy commerce, and while it is of the
work of the Atlantic coast crews that
the public hears oftenest, it is never
theless true that the life guards
elsewhere are every whit as brave
and go to as extreme lengths in

edges of the cloth the coat was tried
on and fitted before stitching the gore
to place. The inside edges, that is, the
edge of the gore nearest the center, was
left unstitched to permit the introduc-
ton of the ends OF narrow tailor stitched
straps of broadcloth. also of the same
shade as the suit. These straps were a
scant half inch in width and were cut
into inch and quarter lengths. The
one end of each strap was placed under
the inside edge of the overlapping cloth
and held in place by the stitching. The
free ends of the straps were tackled over
the opposite edge of overlapping cloth
and fastened with small braid ornaaents
made as those described above NThe
flat collar and the cuffs were trimmed
with shaped empiecements of the. velvet
slip stitched to place.
The skirt, which was of the circular
variety, presented a more difficult prob
lem. 1t was ripped from the band, the
back plaits and placket opened. and cut
apart through the center of the front,
into which a very narrow gore Of velvet,
not wider than four inches at the bot
tom, was introduced. This gore was
cut the full length wanted The skirt
was then fitted to velvet yoke which
had two nine inch tabs at each side The
edges of the velvet overlapped the cloth
and were stitched to place. Narrow
straps of the broadcloth crossed the vel
vet panel in front and at the side; these
had the braid ornaments at each end.
The suit is much handsomer this year
than last, and no one would ever sus-
pect that it was renodeled, for the
clever trimming touches give it all the
air of an exclusive and individual de-
sign.
