ing girls
l begged you not to scream, didn't II
To me there is nothing quite so mad
dening as a lot of bowling people in
the water. Everyone is bound to
shout from sheer joy of water and
waves. but please shout unsteady if
you can. At some beaches nature seems
absolutely desecrated by the yelling
mob around
While I'm scolding | might as well
add that a bathing beach should be
treated with as much respect as a

debris from picnics ought to be burned
up or gathered together neatly for re
moval by the caretakers. or thrown out
to sea.
Now I've said all the disagreeable
things and with an easy mind re-
turn to the bathers.
At your American beaches, especially
on the Atlantic where the waves are
high, the rope Ginger is especially
popular
l don't believe in bobbing up and
down while hanging to a rope, be-
cause it is often dangerous. the women
especially standing just in the trough
of the sea where the waves are strong
est and where the undertow is most
severe.
Added to this a kind of hysteria com
bined with laughter and fright which
weakens the holders grip on the rope
and you have the material for many
bathing accidents and fatalities.
Learn to Swim.
Learn to swim, that Is my advice
Then if you want the fun Of bobbing
with the waves, hang on to the rope q
little further out, beyond the spot
where they break If you are torn
from your rope anchorage you VIII =
ways have presence of mind enough TO
swim through the waves as they break
over your head.
advise every woman who learns to
swim to begin very early to dive
through the waves. This gives her
confidence in her own powers, and she
will need this experience because it is
always better and less dangerous TO
dive through wave than to let il
break over one.
Begin with small waves to accustom
yourself to putting your head under
water. Some women. otherwise excel
lent swimmers. never get used to this
and will never of their own accord get
their heads wet It is much better
for the general health to wet the head
by dipping it under water, as this
keeps the body at an equal tempera
ture. OF course. when the sun is hot

The World"
Broadening out is painful process
to those past so. but Aunt Maria is
docile, and made no complaint when,
next day. her sister in-law helped to
squeeze her into a corset too tight, and
shoes and gloves too small and a skirt
too narrow.
ut seems said Aunt Maria to her
self. that to broaden out mentally it Is
necessary to grow narrow physically"
Then she was escorted to a reception,
and received her first lesson in broad

One woman said to her: well, you
ARE a stranger"
Another woman said to her: Have
you been to the dining room for re-
freshments?"
A third woman said to her: Mercy!

A fourth woman said she had heard
children could have the mumps as oft
en- as four times. and then Aunt Maria
had dab of pink ice cream, a slice Of
pale green cake, a cup of coffee, and
went home
There wasn't any doubt that the
broadening out process gave her food
for reflection, for that night she lay
awake many hours thinking of what

New York, Aug. 19.--Sam Schepps
came back to Broadway today with
a statement corroborating the con-
fession of BALD Jack Rose, charging
Police Lieutenant Becker with insti-
eating the murder of Rosenthal. For
two hours Schepps and District At
torney Whitman were in conference In
a Pullman stateroom on the train
speeding south from Albany and when
ne arrived here, Whitman said:
"Schepps has done all we expected Of
him and corroborated the most inn
portant parts of Roses confession.
You must not ask me for details"
Police detectives wanted to take
Schepps in charge but Whitman was
quick to announce that his office was
in command and the detectives did
not get their man.
Bernard Sander, Schepp's attorney.
in a statement issued to day, said:
'I take this opportunity to deny that
/ have brought any pressure to bear
on Schepps as has been charged, to
block the district attorneys inquiry
and 1 brand as ridiculous and false
the insinuations that in acting as
counsel for Schepps, represent the
esS-ealfea system
News that Sam schepps, long
sought witness in the Rosenthal muir
der case, would be here today and
that while on the train he was given
an examination by District Attorney
whitman, who Joined Schepps and
his guard at Albany, served to excite
the hope that the missing link in the
story, which Bald jack Rose told.
duplicating Police Lieutenant Becker
in the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
would be supplied.
Rose has said repeatedly, If Schepps
would tell the truth his, (Rose's)
story would be corroborated. Infor-
nation was forthcoming at the prose-
cutor's office today that created in-
usual interest at police headquarters.
II was learned that for several months
prior to the shooting of Rosenthal, Of
ficers Of the district attorney had been
quietly Investigating graft in the po-
lice department. The big grafters, 1t
was said, had been constantly sha-
dowed for four months and the Ros-
enthal killing simply hurried matters.
From members of the district attor-
neys office staff 1t was learned that a
we'll known civilian and two, possibly
four, police inspectors are caught in
the tolls
The district attorney has obtained
information that collector" for one
man high in police circles had ac-
cumulated no less than $4,000 as his
commission on collections, in the last
seven months.
The investigation into police graft
started when Becker, through Rose
1T is reported, attempted to get $3.50
from a private poker club. His de-
Ynand was turned down and one of
the members of the club informed
The grand jury will meet tomorrow.
when it is expected Schepps will be
asked to tell his story.
