unsuitable Bathing suit.

Popular Mechanics: Persons who
enjoy surf bathing, but who are
afraid to venture far into the water,
will be interested in an unsuitable
bathing suit. Outwardly 1t resembles
an ordinary swimming suit, but it is
equipped with an inflatable portion on
the inside Of the front. This bladder
is made OF rubberized material which
becomes waterproof on being wet.
The bather, after imm ersing his body
enough to wet the garment. initiates
the bladder by blowing through a
valve in its upper end.
