RAIN FAILS TO DAUNT
VISITORS AT ATLANTIC;
CONVENTIONS GALORE
Hikes Along Sand ON Shore Lat
est Method in Vogue for
Banishing Superhuous
Tissue
JUDGES MEET TODAY

ATLANTIC CITY. June IL. - While
Boardwalk tramplng is considered the
proper exercise for both men and women
who are anxious to reduce flesh, the more
pronounced believers In that henlthful
exercise claim that a hike along the
sand on the shore is the only proper
method to get rid OF supernuous tissue.
The course selected by the advocates of
this method is along the beach as far as
the Elephant at Margate City formerly
known as South Atlantic city. The time
Tor taking these long constitutionals Is
fixed for the early morning, but when high
tides are scheduled for an early hour the
time Is pushed back an hour or two
Rain does not Interfere with the pleas
ures of visitors here as much as it does in
other places, unless II is a steady, continued
downpour lasting for days. So the show
ers of this week were looked upon as just
a welcome break in monotony.
Tho many conventions held here this
month not only please the business men of
the resort because a goodly sum of money
is left here by those who attend these gath
erings, but for another reason that is gen
orally lost hight of by the casual observer
AS the people who come to these conventions
hail from every State of the Union, and
as they all go away pleased with the enter
tainment offered here and the excellence of
the hotel accommodations, they spread the
fame of Atlantic City as a summer and
winter resort to the four corners of our
land. and that bringes many new visitors
here at times when no conventions are held
The business interests of this city spend
n large sum of money every year to bring
conventions here, but that IL is well spent
is proven by the steady growth of the city.
The county Judges are to hold a meeting
here today, and are to hear an address on
the wisdom of the Legislature passing a law
which will allow every court to have a
psychologist in attendance at every trial
to give evidence as to the mental condi-
ton of defendants.
The Master Car Builders Convention
ended last night, but the convention of the
Master Mechanics begins its sessions to-
day. and as most of the people attending
the first lnger over the second there will
be no falling off in the big crowds that
have attended this the biggest assembly
