70 Mile RAIN GALE
DAMAGES BEACHES
Coney Island Suffers Severely
From Storm Sweeping
Atlantic Coast.
SURF EMPTIES A HOTEL
Vessels Held Up by Disturb
ance, Passengers Come to
City by Train.

A northeast gale which reached a
velocity of nearly seventy miles an hour
at some points along the coast played
havoc with the schedules of coastwise
steamships, rolled up an unusually high
tide, which with the wind and heavy
seas caused considerable damage at
Coney Island and uprooted numerous
trees in Brooklyn Wednesday night and
yesterday morning. The storm. which
began off the coast of the Carolinas on
Tuesday. reached Atlantic City on
Wednesday and registered a precipita-
ton of SAG inches at that point.
At Asbury Park there was little dam
age reported, although the wind velocity
reached seventy miles an hour at mid
night. A number of tents were blown
down at Ocean Grove and about ten feet
Of the fishing pier at Asbury Park was
damaged.
Beach BuIkheads Damaged.
Coney Island felt the full force of the
storm and experienced the highest and
toughest sea that has been known there
in twenty-five years. The huge waves
damaged the beach front bulkheads, car
ried away life-boats, wrecked many OF
the lighthouses. and the wind tore away
the front of the Majestic Hotel about
midnight, sending 200 guests into the
streets in spite of the torrential downfall
Of rain. The damage caused by the
storm is estimated at $4,000.
Practically all of the portable stands
that lined the ocean from Manhattan
Irte 81 n
The waves crashed over the bulkheads
at Sea Gate and at the foot of Ocean
Parkway and Brighton flooded the
boardwalk At the Seaside Home OF
the ChildreTs Aid Society about 200
feet of fence which serves as life Line
for bathers at that point was carried
away, while along Surf avenue from
West Twenty-sixth street TO west
Thirty-seventh street, street car passen-
gers as well as pedestrians were soaked
by the spray from the surf dashing
against the bulkheads.
At New London, Conn, the steamers
Georgia and Cambridge. bound from
New York TO Providence, were reported
held up on account of the storm yester-
day The passengers were sent to their
destination by train.
In Brooklyn the Department OF Parks
was notified by the police that 200 trees
had been blown down. Among them
were fifty memorial trees planted In
honor of Brooklyn men who lost their
lives in France. Four gangs were sent
out to replant such trees as could be
saved and the others will be replaced
Tho heavy rain loosened the earth about
the roots so that the trees were unable
to withstand the pressure of the gale.
The only redeeming feature Of the
disturbance was the low temperature
which it gave to the city dwellers
Blankets were in demand to supplement
the mosquito netting which is the pre-
vailing bed covering at this season and
the average New Yorker was perfectly
willing to let Coney Island and the other
resorts suffer IL he could be assured OF
a cool nights sleep. Unfortunately the
weather man predicts warmer weather
for to-day, with clear skies and more
moderate winds.

NeW husbands for old
Another DSazemsS story from real life:

"You have given me new
husband" said lady recently.
"How is that" we asked.
"Well, it was this way" she
replied. "My husband is den
fist, and he has to stand long
hours every day. For the last
three years he has been troubled
with his feet. Finally they got
so bad that it was with difficulty
that he could attend his patients,
His suffering upset him to such
an extent that we had no social
life at all and he was almost
unbearable. He certainly was
hard to live with. One day a
lady patient noticed that he was
in trouble and asked him if he
were ill. When she learned the
cause of his suffering she
showed him a pair of shoes she
was wearing and advised him to
try the same kind.

DIR. Cole discovered long ago
that simply giving advice would

shoemakers would not make his
patients shoes the way he
wanted them made. So he fixed
up workshop in the basement
of his house and developed the
Anatomik.
Then his patients friends
wanted Anatomiks and other
