Change the Rule

The management of the Bathing Beach is to be CON-
GRADUATED on its achievement but rule it has an
nounced is very unfortunate in its effect 1t reads:
MIXED bathing of adults only viii be permitted on Sun
day."
Doesn't this prevent the who wants to teach his
children to swim from taking dip with them On the
day of the week. Sunday when is convenient the
whole family to get relief from the torrd sum- would it not
good thing permit elders to teach their children how to
swim? One father writes US thus:
"The rule did not exist last year and one little lad
at least started to learn to swim at the age three and
his mother also began to learn This little lads Daddy
thought that by the time the present summer was over
both his wife and would be able swim and looked
forward with pleasant anticipation to the task teaching
them, only to find that the days it is most con-
venient to do So he cannot. 1t is VERBOTEN"

ity."
ann not so sure of that" the
other spoke seriously. "You, of
course, have burlesqued the situa-
ton; but ! wonder if life, with the
stimulants and narcotics eliminat-
ed, may not be more vivid, more
scintillating, more electric than
ever before? You remember what
Tolstoy says, that few really in
tellectual men would tolerate the
world as it is if it were not for
smoking and drinking. Unquesr
tionabiy they do soothe our rest
lessness. No one on a morning
after feels much like charging the
citadels of injustice; and, some
distinguished exceptions to the
contrary, a pipe or cigar fits in
better with a pair Of slippers and
an easy chair b. the fireside than
with riding boots and a seat in the
saddle.
1T is always a wrench to give
up old and settled customs. Beau
Brummel and his associates would
no doubt regard the best efforts
of our present high rollers as very
tepid, Just as Lucullus would have
regarded the Beau Brummels with
unflattering scorn. Still, / must
admit that it is hard to picture the
revelry of carnival time in a world
bereft Of cocktails and censored of
cigarette smoke.
81 refuse, though, to be a pes
simist. One can't forget that the
superb, literary Towering Of the
Elizabethan era in England came
before Sir Walter Raleigh had sue
ceeded in grating the jimmy
pipe habit on his fellow-country-
men; and that the great, intellec-
tual periods Of history had as their
tipple beer and very light wines
rather than 'usquebaugh.'
$50 it may be that all the jollity
and good fellowship will not go
out of the world with the pass
ing of these two vices. 1t may be
that our sons and daughters, with
their brains clear and unclouded,
will find more pleasure in the d.
versions of the future than we do
in the smoke haze which envelopes
US and the tall glass at our ell
bow"

1--WE all agree that nationwide
prohibition is coming in this coun-
try, and coming fast. Well, isn't
the next step a possible ban upon
tobacco? The use Of it is a purely
artificial appetite. No one has
ever claimed for it, as some do for
alcohol, that it has the slightest
food value. So, if we are going to
get rid of one bad habit by legisIa-
ton. why not make a clean sweep
Of the lot? Some States have al
ready taken a stand. against the
cigarette. and practically all of
them forbid the sale of tobacco to

as they fell into an argument
and apparently forgot that a
woman was present and that it
was necessary to pay her polite
attentions and discuss those fri
volities which are supposed to en-
gross the feminine mind.
One of the men was from a
"dry" State, and he was advocating
prohibition up hill and down dale.
Facts, figures, and statistics-com-
parative bank clearings, compare
tive tax levies, comparative per-
centages of crime and pauperism
flowed from his lips as he sought
to bring those Of the unpersuaded
East to a conviction of sin.
Obviously he didn't have to.
AS some one has aptly said, There
is no argument in favor of whis-
key" And they all seemed willing
to agree with his contention. But
like many another special pleader
he was not satisfied with proving
his point. He kept on hammering
away at it, piling Osso upon Pelion
to substantiate his claims, until !
saw to my joy-for love a battle
of words-that he had reused in the
other men a spirit of perversity.
