R. NJ. White in writing the follow
ing letter. from, The East, suggests
that there age other "dimples" be-
sides those in the street that are
civic problem. His letter follows::
Southampton, Long Island, N. Y,
July 26, 1919.-We notice by the Led
ger that Mayor J. F. Harrison is en-
route East, and we wonder if he has
in mind getting pointes on how to
control the antics of the fair sex if
Mexico ever has a bathing beach on
East Lake. The mayor of Rockaway,
village near here, has more trouble
with the dimples of the beautiful
bathers than Mayor Harrison has with
the "dimples" in the streets Of Mex
leo, and he has just as hard time in
getting clear Of them.
Where is the poor Rockaway nymph
to go now? Barred already from the
beach if unconventionally clad, today
She is banished even from the soda
water and other shops.
And why? Because about 80 per
cent Of the nymphs have been stroll
ing around minus stockings, and
many Of the others wore only socks
on their feet. The indignant Rock
away merchants simply will not stand
! for such exhibitions, 50 in mass meet
/ ing assembled they decided recently
not to sell them anything or allow
them on their premises.
! The scantily clad mermaids, some
Of the tradesmen declared, have beer
in the habit of sauntering into th'
stores in their Shameless attire---o'
shameless lack of it--and shopping
with as much noncbalonso rs if the.
were in Fifth Avenue.
. "They won't pull any more Of tha
, stuff, was the gist Of the agreement
= There has been a great rush TO Rock
away to observe at first hand the con

It pere cent have been wearing no stoet

d not to talk to the newspapers. Mayf
Mcmahon said when asked about u
I complaints against the sirens;
At Il would be violating my orders
h | were to talk to representative
the press about this matter"
Besides, the police are kept bus
2 shooing away the crowds that w2'
il to see for themselves.
