INCLOSE MANHATTAN
BATHS WITH NETTING
No Sharks Can Get Through
This Wire Barrier.

Work has just been finished on COM
pletely inclosing the bathing beach at
Manhattan Beach baths with an extra
heavy steel wire netting. This net
ting has been so constructed as not
only to keep sharks out a considerable
distance from the bathing beach, but
also any other large fish there may be
in and around the waters surround
ing New York, as with some Of the
bathers any large fish might be looked
upon as a shark. To guard against
this and to doubly assure the patrons
of the Manhattan Beach Baths, the
company has gone 10 considerable ex-
pense having this work done. and in
so doing has at the present time made
it the only place of bathing in and
around New York City where extreme
measures have been taken to guarantee
safe bathing.

I'VE started in to read this volume

This is a dinky yarn of feller who
lets off more jokes in five minutes than
any other fire eater in the terrestrial

have a wider sphere, more room for
his elbom than this little one-horse
planet affords. He hasn't got room to
do himself justice here Saturn or

their status as union men but for the
purpose of constituting an important
reinforcement of the railwaymen's s
union.
