MANY FAVOR
NIGHT BATHING
Tidal Basin May Be Lighted
For Custom Like That
In Other Cities.

That Washington should have the
dement's Of night bathing at the
Tidal Basin Is a thought that is be-
coming more and more fixed in the
minds Of those who have enjoyed
the brilliantly lighted beaches Of
other large cities and who noW.
havef TO leave the local beach al
dark.
st. Louis and Chicago have in
stituted this plan and Of the hun
dreds Of thousands that swim
nightly at those two cities. the
casualties are so few that they 90
not need TO be taken into consider
alton.
Large cities have found that
many persons are not able 20 en-
10y the beaches before 6 o'clock IN
the evening and these demand 10 be
allowed 20 use the beaches at night
The plan followed in other cities
is to have many arc lights strung
/ along the beach that light UP the
water. the life lines and the floats
sufficiently for both bsthers and
, guards TO be as safe as in daytime.

A representative distributor de-

as soon as prices show firmness, but
that big shippers are apparently
able to locate abundant empties
