A rather sensible Bath man re-
marked regarding the unlimited ex-
element on the part of some of the
Shipping City's ladies over the fact
that party of lads undertook to re-
lieve their sufferings from the intense

the Park, without bothering to don
even a one piece bathing suit: 1t
was probably a case where the boys
were overcome by the heat and We're
not responsible for their actions"

So the indications point to the very suc- cessful carrying out of the plans ot the navy recruiting party that will be here from December g to I6.
 The number of applications for per mission to join the navy came as g surprise to members of the local ex- emption board. The answer seems to be that many young men, brave as any, looking ahead, prefer life in pros pect on a vessel of the fleet rather than in the army service and the lia- bility of goin ginto the trenches. They know that in the navy they are al- ways sure of a comfortable place to sleep and that their meals will come with punctual regularity. "If I die, sea as on land.' So the navy for mine"
