In This Town There Lives
Deserving Young Cripple
Who Wants Work.

Out on Prospect avenue there is today

overwhelming odds, and he is ready to
forget his misfortune II some one will
extend ever so slightly the helping hand.
This young man has written a let
ter to The Times. The directness Of

His letter says:

The above Ia not an appeal for
charity; 1t is q request for work, In
spired by the belief that in city of
more than 10000 souls there is some
body who has. an extra job for a shut

The letter was sent to the Mail Bag

While You Have Hair

It's safe ten to one bet that the
young man who uses PARTISAN Sage
as an occasional hair dressing will
never grow bald.
There's a reason, of course, and it's
q very good and sufficient one.
Dandruf germs cause falling hair
and falling hair means thinner hair
and In due timo badness.
PARISIAN Sage prevents badness,
by destroying the cause OF badness
the little persistent vociferous dan
drum germ. .. H..

preparation that abo1ishes dandruff,
stops falling hair and scalp itch, and

Many young women as we'll as men

Swimming LESSONS
At BATHING BEACH
ARE DISCONTINUED
Fee System Illegal, Says
Counsel, Unless Returns
Are Made to District.

Following consideration OF an opinion
by the Corporation Counsel, the Com
missioners today directed that the prac-
tice OF giving swimming lessons at the
beach for pay be discontinued. Corpo-
ration Counsel Thomas holds that all
fees collected at the beach must be
turned In to the collector of taxes.
Orders to govern themselves in accord.
ance with the decision Of the Corpo-
ration Counsel were given the guards
today by DR.. w. B. Hudson, superinten-
dent Of the beach. 60.
"The result Of the decision will be
that practically no instruction In swim
ming will be given at the bathing
beach," said DR.. Hudson today. Dur.
ing the regular hours the pools are
too crowded to permit OF special les
sons. The beach employs three guards
whose duty 1t Is to. safeguard the lives
Of the patrons, and they will be directed
to give their entire time and attention
to that work.
Guards will advise and coach begin
ners, but will not be permitted to en-
ter the pools for the purpose Of giving
individual instruction.
I'm teaching a person to swim the in
structor must give his entire attention
to his pupil. so 1t can be readily seer
during the regular hours the guard,
would not be fulfilling their duty ir
looking after the safety Of other pa.
irons"
The total amount received by tn,
guards for giving swimming lessons
this season, according to DR.. Hudson
is approximately 500. A number o.
recent requests for private instruction
have been received. but the applicants
permitted.
The practice of giving private swim
ming lessons for fees at the beach hal
been in vogue since its establishment
in 1891. but It's legality has never befor'
been questioned.
