Flesh-Colored Hosiery Popular at
Atlantic City.
Special to rhs washinstOu HsraId.

Special To Ths Washington Herald.
Atlantic City, n. j., June A-The
Boardwalk maid and bathing siren
shared the stage in rivalry for at
tention in the great early summer
throngs here today.
Atlantic City again uncovered its
quota Of overnight" fashion, and
Americas Playground" was never
gayer. The patriotic tone was car
ried out universally.
The Liberty Bathing Girl made ner
debut She created quite a stir in her
modish blue suit. white stockings, and
red bathing cap, with white stars.
The latter design Is a replica OF the
head garntture OF the Goddess OF
Liberty. These gaps are becoming n5
<others blue and many white, with the
stars white in the first two and blue
with white hats.
The bloomer girl was also popular
on the strand today. Perhaps the

costumes had something to do with
the revolution
FIesh-COlOred Hosiery Seen.
Flesh colored hosiery Is worn to a
great extent. One trim maid showed
rather war-like proclivities by wear
ing stockings OF this color with all
kinds of implements Of war stamped
In black. There Is a breach imminent
between the beach maiden and the
city as the result Of the ruling
banning the stockingless bather and
against extreme styles in suits. She
considers the edict an infringement on
personal rights, and guards have been
threatened with legal action after
Offering the warning that arrests
would follow unless the orders from
the front were obeyed. Several at
torneys have been consulted in the
High top Russian boots are back in
vogue. The increased price of leather
makes little difference to maid or
matron here. and besides, she prides
are of every imaginable color, but
plain whites and black are mostly
worn or used in combinations
The most spectacular suit worn on
the strand today was of flesh tricOt
de sole enCTusted with mermaid
scales in blue. gray and green. and
worn with ceTulean blue bodice.
Flags In Bracelets.
The summer girl is always devel-
' oping new angles not only to display
her patriotism, but to attract atten-
ton. Her newest Is the tucking OF a
small silken American nag in her
bracelet or at tight wrist band which
dances. The national emblem is also
pasted on the back OF her hands.
There are flags embroidered on her
hosiery flags on her wOrkbags, pOck-
etbOoks, and flags everywhere. The
Stars and Stripes creep out some place
here or there on about three of every
four persons on the Boardwalk.

Half-cent Raise to Be Sought

Whether the Pere Marquette, which

fares to 2Aa cents failed by a compare

INTERESTING CITY OF CHINA
Urga, In the North, Chiefly Celebrated
for the Number Of Its Pictur-
esque "Holy Men,"

One of the least-known cities Of
China Is Urga, where sand, squalor and
holy men are the predominating fea-
lures. Yet the place is not without
interest. Urga lies at the edge OF q
desert in North China, and its people
are most un-Chinese in appearance. 1t
Is said that every third man met there
is lama. The chief lama In Urga
Is as great parsonage In the North
as the Dalai lama half century ago.
Thousands upon thosands of lesser
lamas adore him and tens of thou
sands of the populace in their turn
adore lesser lamas. There is also n
college for the study of religion In
Urga, so that holy men In all stages
of holiness are present In great num-
bers. There are frequent festivals,
with great spinning Of prayer wheels
and making of offerings and ceremo-
MES of publication, eliminating In the
grotesquely beautiful devil dance by
certain of the lamas In their horrible
robes and masks. The populace Is
used to the religious atmosphere,
though. and 1t Is the pilgrims from the
country round who are chiefly i'm
pressed. They include all manner Of
mysterious folks who live on the track
less steppes Of inland Asla--herders
by trade and doubtless robbers and
caravan bandits by vocation In most
cases.

viii Not Fight EquaIizers.

The Michigan state board of tax
commissioners Is not going to recon-
mend to the legislature or to Governor
Ferris for transmission to the legisla-
ture that the state board of equalizer
ton be abolished and that the tax
commissioners figure on taxable val
ues be taken in lieu of the report on
the state board of equalization.
Two years ago the commissioners
asked the governor to request the
legislature to put the state board of
equalization under the control of the
tax commissioners. Governor Ferris
has received the new recommendation
OF the commissioners. 1t had been de-
cided some time ago to repeat the re-
quest of two years ago, but since then
the recommendation was voiced by the
Michigan state tax conference. by the
Grange, the Michigan Association Of
Farmers clubs and by the Cleaners.
Hence, the commissioners thought
the question should be left to others.

Good Coal From Refuse.

Various devices for economizing
fuel have been brought to notice In
Holland since the war caused diff
ficulty in procuring coal. 1t has
been found that 20 to Is per cent of
combustible material remains in fur
mace refuse and device has been
constructed which preserves large
part of 1t. The refuse is finely ground
and placed In liquid with a specific
gravity little greater than that of
water. This is said to be very cheap,
generally a refuse from factories. The
mass is agitated, the heavier particles
sink to the bottom. while the combus-
tible material floats and can be scooped
off to be used in the furnace. 1t Is
stated that 200 tons of refuse will yield
3S tons Of good fuel.

May Reorganize Securities Board.

Ii the supreme court of the United
States upholds the constitutionality of
the so-called blue sky law, the Michi-
gan legislature will in all probability
be asked to consider bill whereby The
securities commission will be reorgan-
lied and board appointed whose
members can devote their entire time
to the administration of this law.
Under the present statute the Michi-
gan commission is composed of the at
torney general, the state treasurer and
the banking commissioner. who Is
chairman of the board. The law re-
quires the commission to meet at least
once week, and because of the in
creasing work In their various depart
ments, it Is almost n physical impossi-
bility for the three state officers to
meet oftener and consider the work Of
the securities commission.
1t is believed that 1t would be a
much more satisfactory arrangement
to have permanent commission to do
the work outlined by the blue sky law.
While there is tendency to decrease,
rather than to increase the number of
state boards and commissions, the fees
received from brokers and new compa-
MES would be more than sufficient to
pay salaries and expenses, and a per-
manent board could be made practical
ly self-sustaining. This plan will nat
urally be abandoned, If the Supreme
court of the United States says the
statute Is void, but should it be sus-
tanned there is every reason to believe
the commission will be reorganized to
some extent.
Since the law was placed on the
statute books two years ago the COM
mission has passed upon 527 applica-
tons, of which 451 were approved and
% were disapproved. The balance
have been withdrawn or are held up
for further investigation. The fees re-
ceived by the commission total approx
imately $4,000. a.

HeIme Makes Final Report.

The swan song of James w. Helme.
dairy and food commissioner, In the
shape of his last official report to Gov
ernor Ferris, has gone to the state
printer. The burden of the entire re-
port is that the dairy and food depart
ment of Michigan can be made to pay
for itself and at the same time do more
work for the people.
"Had the legislature not taken away
some of the work l was doing" says
Mr.. Helme, II would have turned in a
lot of profits for the place myself.
II could suggest dozen laws where
by sufficient revenue might be OBJ
tanned by This department to sustain
1t, and no one he oppressed or injured.
This Is the correct way to reduce tax
alton in the state.
"We also need in this state law
requiring that the sale of all commodi-
ties be made in quart measures or
multiples thereof. The next legisla-
ture ought to pass specific law bar
ring from the state cider vinegar made
from dried peels and cores"
Mr.. Helme repeats his recommends
ton for pure liquor law" which he
made two years ago, as he insists that
with the state dry it will be more need
ed than ever. Such bill, according
to Mr.. Helme, "would have brought In
several thousand dollars revenue to
the department, all of which would
have been paid by people outside the
state. 1t may be said that the state
will go dry and thus take away this
revenue. Such Is not the fact for liz,
uor will still be kept in every drug
store in Michigan"
