FIGHT
SH0RT-SLEEVE
SUIT BAN

Atiantans who disport themselves
in the waters Of Piedmont Lake are
stirred over the edict that compels
them to wear bathing suits with
sleeves down to their wrists
AS an expression of their indigna-
ton petition, already bearing more
than 500 signatures, win be presented
to the Park Board at once. 1t will
pray. in as polite and courteous terms
as the situation will admit, that the
bathers be allowed to wear the regu-
lation bathing suits with abbreviated
sleeves.
Its wonder they don't make US
wear mittens and leg muffs," sput-
tered one OF the regulars" Thurs
day. The regulation is prudish and
ridiculous The idea that the sleeve
less bathing suit Is in the least inn
modest Is silly in the extreme.
The regulation was framed, I sup
pose, with the thought that sleeveless
suits would shatter the morality of
the city to bits. Nothing could be
more absurd"
The petition also asks that the
bathing season begin April Is instead
of May 10. f. S, knight. OF No. 400
Courtland street, suggested the petit
tons and the idea was taken up en-
Enthusiastically. Copies, to which sig
natures may be attached, are at the
