It is summer again, and time for the
athletic girl to don her sporting togs and
sally forth to the beach for her daily
trip to the golf links and tennis court for
a game, or to the mountains or rivers for
tramps or rows.
She Is a fetching creature, this athletic
girl, aglow with life and health and so
modishly attired.
The nature of many of the summer
sports is so similar that practically the
same costume may be worn for various
occasions. The very foundation Of the
athletic wardrobe is the shlrtwaist and
skirt-a plain tailored waist with short
full sleeve and low, soft collar. and a
short walking skirt. These may be worn
with equal propriety, modishness and
comfort on the golf links and tennis
court, for mountain climbing and boating.
The only two sports which necessitate
their own particular costuming are bath
ing and horseback riding. The bathing
suits Of this summertime show little va
ration from the accepted type, except In
the trimmings. Mohair and taffeta SILK
remain the favored materials, with black
and blue the favorite colors. Young girls
still in their teens are wearing very smart
suits In that golden brown shade popu-
larized so early in, the season by the
vogue of glossee brown kid footwear.
But older girls and matrons choose the
darker-colored suits. A touch Of color
relief may be introduced in the collar and
sleeve bands in the form of landings,
piplngs, or even stitchings Of red, white
or light blue, these being colors which
are not affected by the salt water.
The lace-trimmed bathing suit is nov
city, as is also the princess shape. The
latter Is shown In q soft, dark satin,
shirred at the waistline and several
inches above and below, and fastened in
the back. 1t is perfectly plain or trim
med with bit of coarse lace, edging the
cutout neck and the short puff sleeves.
The lace-trimmed suit is more or less
elaborate, and is, therefore. used more as
a beach suit when one lolls in the sand
and basks in the sunshine.
Since women have broken down public
prejudice against riding astride designers
and makers of riding habits have likewise
grown courageous and departed from the
regulation black cloth habit which has
SO long been the accepted type Of Co.'S
tuning for this sport. The advent of the
semiftting hip-length coat In street cos
tunes was followed closely by Its adop-

ABE RUEr's GUHjT.

Sudden aud altogether unexpected
was the dramatic change Of plea from
not guilty to guilty, by Abe Ruef, the
notorious San Francisco political boss
Yesterday Though mountain high were
the charges against him, and tightly
drawn the net OF inconvertible evil
dence in which he was enmeshed, it
never occurred 10 even his closest
friends that he would openly acknowl-
edge to all the world that he was
criminal. But that Is what he did. for
mally and after a long and earnest
conference with his attorneys VINO
doubtless advised him that such pro-
ceeding. embarrassing and humillating
though IT must have been was the
short cut towards partial extrcation
from the difficulty into which he was
plunged through long years Of polltl-
cal corruption. True he said he was
not guilty of doing the specific things
to which he plead but his plea that he
was guilty will stand as correct in the
eyes of The law and the public as we'll
Sane men viii not believe he would
declare himself guilty If he were ipno-
cent. and his statement to that effect
viii be taken with a very liberal dose

have been acquitted and that he an

from suffering is a thin story. To adj
NIT all that they have been denying
for months is queer way 70 save them
from pain and chagrin. 1t may be de-
pended upon that Ruet was guilty
charged, and that he saw no possi
bility Of escape, His frank admission
that he had connived at bribery and
that he had acted FOR and with Mayor
schmitz IN many of the scandals that
has made san Francisco a stencil in
the nostrils OF American municipalities,
win not benefit him at this time as that
Was generally known any way, just as
Is his other confession that no had con-
tributed much To- lowering the standard

LOCAL OPTION CASE
pissxsissed in 4Cirs.ait Ce,a->--Opinion
of Judge Smith

The appeal of the citizens petition
ing for local option election, that
was carried from the decision of the
board of supervisors to. the circuit
court by their attorneys, was brought
up for hearing by Judge Smith last
Tuesday, and after being shown by
Hon. Leroy Percy it made no dif-
ference what decision he would make
in the matter, that under the State
law no election on the question could
be held this year, the judge, without
hearing further argument, dismissed
the case.
Briefly stated, Judge Smith holds
that the board of supervisors was in
error in permitting the withdrawal OF
names after the petition was filed.
but the appeal was dismissed be-
cause in Judge Smiths opinion, if
the petition should be remanded it
would cause the election to be held
within sixty days of another election.
the August primaries, which is pro-
hibited by statute providing that
no local option election shall be held
within sixty days of another election.
The appeal was therefore dismissed.
The ruling that board of super
visors can not permit withdrawal OF
signatures from petition for local
|option election after same is filed Is
of the most vital importance to the
prohibition cause, for efforts to Sc
cure elections are often defeated
through these Withdrawals, reducing
the number of signatures below the
Ione-third of the qualified electors re-
Fquired by the statute. If this de-
cision stands a supreme court test il
will be very easy matter to secure
local option elections IN the saloon
counties of the State. Likewise, in
some counties it will be easy to Sc
cure elections for the purpose d
bringing the open saloon back into
exist>nee.
