BEACH BATHERS take
night dips in SURF
Atlantic City Visitors Enjoy Swims
by Searchlisht.
BY JANE HILL.

Atlantic City, June 30.-Ocean bath
ing at all hours Is now in vogue at
Atlantic City. Powerful searchlights
have been erected by the city on four
of the leading bathing beaches so
visitors may frolic in the surf after
nightfall with the assurance that they
will be quite as well protected as in
the daytime. for life guards have been
divided into shifts to do duty from
sunrise until midnight.
Nocturnal bathing will be a boom
to the tired business man, who comes
down from town each day, and 1t
will also be a delight to the summer
girl, who eschews sunburn, and there
fore avoids freckles and a coat Of
tan by bathing at night.
No laws have been laid down as to
Just what the requirements OF the city
will be in regard to aqueous habili-
ments for evening wear; but the rules
regarding daytime surf robes are de-
cidedly strict. and woe befalls the
fair maiden, whose surf robe is char
acterized by brevity. The more colors,
don't scimp the cut!
A perfect thirty-six," whose cos
tune included black tights and a short
Jersey like the men wear, appeared
on the Strand in front of the Hygeia
pool, and was quietly requested to
leave the beach. The life guard ex-
planned that such a costume was per-
fectly permissible in swimming pool; /;
but the rules of the Strand did not
permit garments quite so revealing.
Bathing clothes never before were
so varied in design and texture. The
girl who faYOrs Russian attire wears
grilled boomers with a Russian
blouse, the peblum of which suggests
skirt, for the frilly boomers are far

HOROSCOPE.
Sunday, July I, 1917.

According to astrology this is a day
OF good and evil import in which
Venus, the Sun and Mercury are
in beneticent aspect, while Mars and
Saturn are inimical.
IL is day that should be fortunate
for seeking place, whether it be high
or low.
Politicians as we'll as men and wom-
en- who desire minor positions should

Romance has a strong influence
while this contiguration prevails. Love

month, but there is a sign indicat-
my sadness and separation.
Under this planetary direction It is
deemed very lucky to visit friends es-
pecially those who are influential and
likely to bestow favors.
again the seers declare taht this
month will be most significant in de-

She wears with this costume a Rus
sian helmet bathing cap. The gypsy
girls bathing suit is also short as
to skirt and worn with a broad girdle
of many colors.
Life Guards Tryout.
The last quota of lifeguards had
their try-out, which was witnessed
by several hundred visitors on the
walk. and was not without some real
thrills, for one of the applicants faint
ed in the surf and had to be rescued,
and other candidates became swamped
in managing the lifeboat and had to be
brought in. Two other men had what
DIR. Bossert, who Is in charge of the
beach, called stage fright, and all to-
gether there was a great deal of ex-
citement. Fully 80 per cent of the ap-
plicants for places on the Strand fail
because the requirements are so ex-
acting. Bathers will not be permitted
to swim in water over their heads
this summer. Lifeguards patrol the
ocean to see that no one bathes be-
yond a certain line.
Community singing. which Is so
much in vogue all over the country,
has been taken up by the bathing
girls. who bring their mandolins and
banjos to the Strand, and all the bath
ers join in singing college songs and
the national airs.
Matrons and maids are vieing with
one another in designing stunning
bathing suits to be worn on the
Fourth of July. when the city will
hold a big patriotic rally on the beach.
One of the features will be the for
nation of a human flag of bathing
girls. Visitors from the thirteen orig
inal States will form the stars and will
wear liberty bathing costumes. 1t is
expected that Gov. Edge will read the
Declaration of Independence from the
deck" of he Traymore. Former
President Roosevelt has been invited
to deliver the grafton.
Atlantic City's women "coppers,
who have been granted a two weeks
leave of absence, will go on duty to-
morrow and help to maintain decorum
on the Boardwalk and on the Strand.

Soldiers Buy
Liberty Bonds
Why Don't You?

II the soldier boys on salary of

can not the average wage Garner,

Harry Denmead from Sergeant Ralph
Wltamuth, of Company A, One Hun
bred Twenty seventh machine gun
company, at Camp Cody, -. NJ, says
that Of the 172 men or the company
1862 subscribed for $11,4O0 worth of the
bonds. The average per man was $40
worth. Sergeant Wiltamuth, who for
merly lived here, frs. became inter-

Here is what he says about the hoy

my dear Denmead: No doubt you
are busy with the new liberty loan
in Marshalltown these days, and doubt
less some people up there think it quite
a hardship, but they are doing no more
than the men who are also doing the
fighting. Out of 172 enlisted men in
our company 1872 subscribed to a total
of $11,40O worth of bonds, and there
The other men had to send money
