BATHING SKIRT need
NOT Reach TO knee

ATLANTIC CITY. July 2S.-One
thing of the utmost Importance for
the guidance of summer girls has
been settled definitely and beyond re-
call. At rolates to the minimum
length of the bathing skirt. a subject
for jest until strand police last sum-
mer began sen'ing highly rescntful
young women back to their bathing
houses to make their surf garb con-
form more closely to what the police
men thought was proper raiment for
the sand. The contrC versy grew bit
ter when the propriety cops failed TO
designate a basis for computation.
To avoid a repetition ~ that ex-
.ceedingly unpleasant contention, Chief
Surgeon Bossert director of the bath
ing beach has promulgated an order
so explicit that neither summer maids
Ipropriety cops nor beach guards, who
also exercise police power, can fail
TO understand precisely what it
means.
Every bathing skirt worn upon the
Atlantic City beach must not he
shorter than three inches above tho
knee Of the wearsI,' says the ukase.
It applies with equal force, Beach
Director Bossert said, to tall girls and
short sisters. He assumes the strand
policemen will depend upon the un.
aided use of their ewes in practically
all cases to determine that the order
is obeyed.
However. in order to be prepared
for a possible challenge of a visual
ruling, a tape measure was today
added to the equipment of beach
headquarters.
Director Bossert does not approve
the new smock bathing suits They
are quite shapeless. falling free from
the shoulders over trim knickerbock-
ers. When petite maids. so arrayed
swim out beyond the "brcak" they
look like particularly attractive boys
in their loose garb.

tailed S2956333. The disbursements
for the year amounted TO S29,412.01.
The greater part of the contrlbu-
tions came through collections on gem

September Rainfall
ntf1os Is Record Breaker

The largest amount of rainfall In
any September in twelve years, or for
probably any month OF the twelve
Years, fell in the September that mas
just passed. The month will prob
ably stand as record for precipita-
ton in any thirty days for some time
to come.
The rainfall. for September was 12.4f
inches. which is nearly one-half OF
the average yearly precipitation Tor
this part of Iowa, including snow. This
unusual precipitation was caused
mostly by the two heavy rain storms of
one week which brought a precipita-
ton of Is inches in seven days.
But in addition to the tremendous
rains of this week there were other
hard downpcurs. Altogether it rained
on thirteeen of the thirty days and
five of the rail- We're an inch or more
of precipitation.
September of last year was wet
month, but the precipitation of 11,ol
then was almost an inch under the
rainfall for this September.

The Melting Pot" stirring drama
of race prejudices taken from the play

moving pictures at the Lyric Sunday
evening with Walker Whiteside in the
leading role that of David QuiXano.

pictures very wildly the persecution
of the Jews in Russia, and later shows
how America as a whole is the great
melting pot of all races of the earth.
The picture is not as strong as the
play as the speeches are lost, but
vivid scenes are shown. Inc mohs,
especially, are large and realistic.
