RECREATION NEWS

Three block parties have been planned for this weekend. It should be understood that some block parties are only indirectly under the super vision of the Board of Recreation Many of the individual centers which presented delightful programs dur ing the winter are running the block parties themselves as part of their programs and as a means of keeping alive the interest of those who at- tend and thus have the same enthu- siasm shown during the whole year instead of just in the winter.
 Union recreation center will run a block party on Commercial street be- tween Washington avenue and North Main street on Thursday evening.
 On Friday evening the Maplewood
 school center will entertain at a block
 party and dance on Linwood avenue

If the junior members of your family happens to be dtted out with bathing suits, rompers and nice sum mery frocks for boardwalk service, then indeed is your family ready to go shoreward. If, however, there is lack in any one of these lines, then it behooves you to take your needle in hand and prepare for the long 1ooked-forward-to days by the side of the sea-
 Small bathing suits follow very much the vogue of those of larger proportions Thus the trouserettes extend below the skirt of the suit here sketched, and thus the stuffs you would use to make it would be the identical ones used by grown-up folk.
 How about making up that smart little suit in black wool jersey and using wide white satin braid for the trimming? Or, you could make it of green wool jersey and bind it with black satin. Mohair, ratine, serge or silk might be used instead of the jersey.
 The point of distinctive charm in the rompers upon the seated child is chambray with plain gingham as a trimming. The checked gingham could be used to make the narrow bands about the sleeves to give the suspender effect over the shoulders and to make the belt which midway in it's course seems to grow into a flower pot which holds lapp1iqued flowers either of the checked ging- ham or of material contrasting in color with self-materia1.
 You will note that the suspenders extend below the belt and mark out rather large bag-1ike pockets. The

What is probably the most amazing
chapter in the involved story of
"Nicky' Arnstein's S5,00o,000 bond
theft plot was made public IN the tes-
timony of young Joseph Gluek (left)
former Wall street messenger. who is
now ia the Tombs under $4,000 bail
on a charge of being implicated In
the stealing of over $i.00O,000 worth
OF securities. Irving Gluck, the broth
er of Joseph, who is implicated I'm the
plot. is at the right OF the photograph.
While Joseph apparently let few OPP
portunities slip to gather in securities
that were easily negotiable. Irving
who IS also In the Tombs, seemed to
be eve more active aud kept an
eagle eye on the caliber of stocks that
were being carried about by other run
ners. In Joseph's confession other
brokers are implicated.
