BLOW To ROMANCE
IN MIXED. BATHING
English Doctor Finds It Is Rea-
son for the Falling OFF in
Marriages

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The recent bath
ing season. with it's increase of mixed,
bathing in this country and numerous
rather startling pictures i'm English
weeklies of scenes of Continental re-
sorts. has been productive of some re-
markable statements in the papers, but
nothing more remarkable than the writ
ten protest of a Croydon doctor against
mixed bathing. He says:
Il don't believe that one Young man
out Of fifty wants to marry the girl
ing is giving the death-blow to mar
riage. In times gone by men were en-
tranced by the sight of girls daintily
sprang from a kind OF worship of some
thing which charmed. Are bare necks,
bare arms, and bare legs, with ugly
skull caps, bewitching spectacle? We
may admire graceful dancing upon the
stage. What effect has the ungraceful
topping of women in the water?
The desire to harpoon rather than en-
watched two very pretty and graceful
girls in walking costumes, who i'm
pressed me with their elegance. l saw
them waddle into the surf and try to
climb on a wooden horse floating in the
sea. / saw them return to their ma
chine and emerge in their walking
costumes But they were not the same
girls i had seen them bathe!"
The ideas and opinions of various mel
and women were obtained by the Daily
Mirror. A young author gave an inter
esting mixed bathing view. II quite
agree that mixed bathing-at least ir
England-is very apt to lessen my affec.

beloved in such an awful attire must
be terrible shock. And then. unless
she is q swimmer. the spectacle of her
clumsy gambols in the water IL apt to
make him lose a little Of that awe and
worship which he had previously felt
toward her"
An ordinary young man of twenty-six
gave this actual instance Of the dam
gers of mixed bathing-from the girls
point of view:
To bathe nicely is perhaps the most
difficult of all arts for girl" he said.
'T was recently stopping at a little
south coast town with some friends.
There were two very pretty girls stay
ing there who were adored by all the
men-until they went bathing. Then
they were simply frights.'

friends" he said.
AT Ostend or other popular seaside
resorts on the continent the women s
bathing costumes are usually very
cls,rming. and, indeed might be taken
for ordinary dresses. OF course, i
know some of them are much scantier
than even the modern evening dress
but / should say these are much less
numerous than the others. But In Eng

Although the warmth of spring is
beginning to be felt in the air, and

thing of the past, it is not to be
imagined that the Boys department

secured during that time surely are a
good lively bunch.
Next week is vacation week in the

There will be more doing than ever.
Included in the program for the holt

MELLEN PROTESTS
FULL CREW BILL
NEW HAVEN PRESIDENT WRITES
80 GOVERNOR sULzER ABOUT
MEASURE.

President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
has written the following letter to
Gov. Sulzer of New York, protesting
against the so-cal1ed full crew BILL
IT am advised you will shortly have
before you bill for approval which
is known as the Jackson full crew
bill and I trust you will pardon. me
for bringing TO your notice serious
objections from the standpoint OF a
corporation doing a very large bust
ness within the State OF New York.
This lays down a rule providing
for a certain number Of men on each
train regardless Of the work OF the
train in question.
Express freight trains involving
but little work, where the crew is
rarely called upon to leave the ca
boose, and express passenger trains,
where there is practically no work
whatever deyoIving upon the crew,
are required to be manned with sub
stantiallY the same number of men
as local trains, both passenger and
freight, where there is a very large
amount of work to be done and the
size of the crew is regulated only by
the number of cars in the train.
s'Such a bill adds seriously to the
operating expenses of railroads doing
business within the State of New
York and contributes in no way that
I can see to the safety Of passengers
or performs any useful service in con-
nection with the train. 1t adds in no
way additional security.
"a similar bill was vetoed by your
predecessor in office and also by GOV
Foes in Massachusetts,
eff the matter were left to the Pub
lie Service Commission and each train
were manned according to the necessi-
ties of the work to be performed by
the same there would still be objec-
ton, although much that is now OBJ
5ectionabIe would be eliminated.
