ATLANTIC CITY, ". J.. July 4.-From
time immemoriai legend and history tell
OF the people journeying toward the sea
Its call has been potent In all ages and
in every latitude and men have risked
their lives upon its fluid, cold and pitiiess
bosom since anthropic animals first learn
ed the rudiments of navigation by pad
ding a log with arms and hands.
And the call during this present sum-
mer season OF 1914 is just as strong
down here in Atlantic City as II ever was.
and perhaps a little stronger. And the
thoughts OF the inland dweller not yet
able to get to the edge OF the deep in
this present summer are here In the
booming surf. the ebbing ripples. the
musical gurgles and the sibilant whis-
pers Of the buvoling water on the sand
And the recoIlections become more vivid
as the reader reads-the warm sun, the
white. glaring beach: the smell OF the
salt water in the nostrils, the cries or
the seamews, the song Of the sea.
And all this is waiting, waiting. wait.
ing for the land-weary dweller who Will
come, who must come, to the sootnlnS'
lulling sea.
There is too much 'spooning" on the
beach, according to several writers 10 the
local newspapers. and too many couples
people will look. All along the white
sands. complains the writer. large and
matronly women who are as modest as
modesty itself when fun clothed forget
themselves when dressed in the haoih-
ments of the surf and Toll on the sands
| something awful.
All of which has been put UP to the
police authorities, and then down TO the
bathing cops. with the result that the
'spooners'' and the "lollers" had better
watch out
The entire length OF the bathing beach
is in use these early and baimy July DAYS.
and the natty new beach guards are
keeping sharp lookout for possible swim
mers IN trouble.
And the scene is Of real seashore. with
the yachts in the ofing. with great YES
sells bound up and down coast Tar on or
the rim Of the visible world. and with
merrment and laughter and happiness
| on the sands. 1t is the Sladsome summer
time at Atlantic City and all the world
| is in bathing.
| The Boardwalk is being widened from
Virginia avenue to Pickle Pier Inc
great concrete piiings have all been sunk
deep into the sand and the cross-eeams
are being placed. Within week the
workmen will begin laying the additional
planking, and by the middle OF July THIS
section of the Wooden Way will have
width of sixty feet, affording the august
throngs sufficient room for action"
