of Boardtralk Cops.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 11.-Aroused at
strict forgery laws enforced by the beach
authorities with regard to the fair sex.
Mrs. H. d. Harrison OF Washington, In
a letter to the Beach Censor" delivered
to Chief Surgeon Charles Bossert. head
Of the beach patrol to-day entered a
formal protest against the kind of beach
attire the men are permitted TO wear
without otficial criticism.
The way men are allowed to parade
the beach makes them so repuisive that
I'm afraid to look at them even side
ways" writes Mrs. Harrison. ''Why are
you so hard on the girls, who after all.
have curves and attractions not at all
disgusting. when they are permitted to
come out on the beach without stock
ings. Why can't you say something
about the awful locking men who parade
around in nothing but a little scrap Of q
bathing suit which fails utterly to cover
their unsightly hair covered bodies.
And their limbs. they're simply awful.
and besides most men are oowiegged.
Could anything be more unsightly? The
men. not the girls. should be compelled
to wear stockings. and lc,g stockings at
that. also something to cover UP their
arms and chests Nobody wants to see
them. and they only cutter up good
looking scenery"
DIR. Bossert declares tire woman must
be a long distance observer, as the
beach cops rigidiy enforced skinny bath
ing suit laws against the men. There
has not been a day all season when a
dozen or more of the sterner sex have
not been chased from the beach to Sc
cure proper garb under pain of arrest.

The melancholy fact that artists must
eat led Arthur Reid OF 273 West Flew

the younger Greenwich Village artistic
set. into trouble yesterday. With an
ambition born of a wish for three square
meals a day he started for Harlem In
search OF a job. When he reached Hop
Lees laundry at 31s West 145th street
he glanced through the window and saw
the front room was deserted. Reid en-
tered and wac helping himself from the
cash drawer when Hop Lee. attracted by
the tinkling of the door bell, came
through a passage from the rear.
Dextrously lodging the hot iron hurled
at him by the laundryman. the artist
dashed through the door and started UP
Eighth avenue with Hop Lee In pursuit.
After he had gone two blocks he ran
into the arms Of Patrolman Francis
Schroeder. who took him TO the West
1s5th street station, where $3.50 was
found in his trousers pocket. Later
