Have you shot the chutes at the new
Lurline baths. Bush and Larkin streets,
the handsomest bathhouse in the United
States?
There is a plunge lao feet long and
60 feet in width to dive into, and the
water varies in depth from two to nine
and half feet. The baths ara modern

of the city. In all respects they meet
every requirement of the lover of nata-
torial sport.
Certain things are demanded by the
patrons of modern bathing pavilions.
The arrangements must be sanitary in
every way; the water must be warm
enough to be comfortable, and yet suffi-
GENTLY cool to be invigorating; there
must be a depth of water to permit
free swimming, and shallower sections
to accommodate the young and inexpe-
rienced swimmer
Housed in a building that for beauty
and appropriateness of design is not
eoualed by any similar structure In
America the Lurline baths more than
meet the demands of the most finical,
or the needs of the swimmer. The
plunge is kept filed with salt water
drawn directly from the ocean from the
end of long pier at ocean beach. 1t
is filtered through a plant that cost
$4,000 to install. then passed through
the heater and conducted into the deep
end of the plunge. 1t passes out at the
shallow end.
Ranged around the plunge are two
chutes one solely for the use of women
and children, and diving and spring
boards. Running across the big tank
and dividing it effectually into a part
