at the nearest hospital tent have made son. The attitude taken by the drowning persons is sometimes queer. Usually they are scared, and often unconscious, yet one would think that the rescuers would be presented with large sums of money. According to one of the guards such is rarely the case. T suppose he said, they think the City pays us and that is enough" But" he continued, "one lady did give me fifty dollars" Per haps it was all the lady had. because it is we'll known that people of all classes and conditions go to Atlantic City. However unlike most people, this guard did not expect money, and when I asked several more they did not seem to expect a reward and be- haved as if I was asking them to take bribe for doing their duty. I once knew of two women who were just saved and that was all, and they gave the guard fifty cents. which he re- fused to take.
 Some of the queerest things have happened on the beach. and in many instances had it not been for the guards many bathers would certainly have been drowned. A young lady was bathing with several children and some young men were playing with a hand ball on the beach, when one of the young men in throwing the ball struck the young lady (who was well out in the water), with it in the eye. She was stunned, and falling. went under the water. The life guard was watching, and running out dragged the young lady to safety. She was

The patrol is prepared for this Then, too, there are physicians on the pleas ure ground with every instrument of resuscitation which is used to the last degree and medical aid given as well. Boats and bouys are always on hand and no water is too wild for these men to brave to make a rescue, and almost invariably they get the person before he has succumbed.
 One look at these big, strong men inspires confidence, which is some re- lief to the average bather They take physical exercises every day. and one morning the writer came upon some men at Chelsea (which is part of the beach), lifting great logs which they use to hold their boats, and then like athletes of the best kind standing upon each others shoulders. Many of the patrol are college men who love the exercise and incidentally make some money for their future education. Others later go into busi- ness, for in this work as in almost everything else the old and weak must give away to the young and the strong" and they last only a few years.

(" TLANTIC CITY has become the
 greatest seashore resort in the
 world, and what has contributed 1 ntowards its success as much as anything else is it's wonderful bathing beach stretching for miles along a shore line which is nearly level and sloping gradually to deep water-the longest bathing place in the world. Every amusement is offered to attract the pleasure seeker and every precau- tion is taken to insure ease and safety to the bather. The Atlantic City bath CTS pay a beach patrol to look out for this, and their beach patrol is famous for its efficiency and its courage has been chiefly instrumental in creating a feeling of safety for those who baffle with the ocean waves.
 @ Most people give little thought to his patrol until they are snatched from the jaws of death by these men whose business it is during the bath ing hour to watch like hawks for the persons who through thoughtlessness or bravado go out too far in the ocean. It is known that the best of beaches have undertows and pitfalls which even the best swimmers can not brave.

 T have seen scores of women with expensive and beautiful gowns who looked like frurups because their snoes were run down at the heels and lacked a shine.
