ATLANTIC CITY, July 3.-More
than 100000 men and women in bath
ing suits and as many more in the
lightcst costumes available thronged
the beaches here to-day. No such
crowd has ever before been seen at
one resort on the Jersey Coast.
The lid was lifted clean off in so
far as beach attire was concerned.
The sweltering crowd came from every
direction in every sort of conveyance,
dressed, or rather undressed, for an
immediate plunge into the sea. Even
street cars were permitted to carry
men and women in bathing suits and
for several hours they were crowded
with bathers Ell route to the beach
The rush began yesterday and con-
tinued until every room in every hotel
private house and boarding house had
been taken. Cottagers began doubling
up to make more room for the hun
dreds who had no place to sleep. At
every one Of the big restaurants hum
dreds stood in line for hours awaiting
their turns to dine. The throngs ex-
tended to Chelsea and the new Ritz
Carlton, opened last week, was full to
capacity even before late trains had
arrived.

by small feathered folk, had started
out early that morning and took it
into his head to have look around
the home of Farmer Brown, for he is
bold, is Sharpshin. Like all other
members of the Hawk family, he has
wonderful eyes. and while yet long
way off he saw Rcdhead sitting on
that post. At first all he saw was a
spot of bright color, but he guessed
at once what that spot was and head
ed that way
Now. it is doubtful if Redhead
would have seen Sharpshin at all had
IT not been that Scrapper the King
bird over in the Old Orchard was
watching and saw him coming. At
once ne screamed warning to all his
1teathered neighbors. Redhead heard
that warning and wondered what
could be going on over in the Old
orchard He looked over in that di-
rection and then-well, for lust the
teeniest, weeniest fraction of a second
his heart almost stopped beating with
fright Heading straight for him at
wonderful speed was Sharpshin the
Hawk.
Redhead did the only thing for him
to do-few with all his might straight
in-o the nearest tree where the
branches grew most thickly. He didn't
have time to pick his way among
them. He just flew blindly, trusting
to luck that he would get in whers
Sharpshin could not follow him. As
it was. he was just in the very nick
of time, for Sharpshin swept past,
brushing the leaves of the tree. and
so close that his outstretched claws
just touched Redhead's tail. Red
head had escaped.

New York City has it's Mayor Hylan

Bedtime Stories
Redhead the Woodpecker Escapes
BY Thornton w. Burgess
When all seems peaceful, then
aU0tch ont
Lest danger lark Somewhere
about. --Redhead.

Redhead the Woodpecker and Mrs.
Redhead had made their home in the
Old Orchard this year and were find
ing it very much to their liking. II
don't know" said Mrs Redhead to
Redhead, as they were finishing their
home in the dead branch of an apple
tree, "why we haven't built here be-
fore. There is plenty to eat without
firing ourselves out hunting for it,
and it seems to me about the safest
place we have yet found. About the
only enemy we will have to watch out
for here is Black Pussy the Cat. My,
how l hate Cats!"
Redhead nodded. 81 do, too," said
he. "But after all they are rather
stupid things, and if we watch out
trouble in keeping out of Black
Pussy's claws. Hawks are the ones
| fear most. I don't believe we will
have much trouble from them here.
1t is too near Farmer Browns house"
For while the handsome red
heads and black and white coats Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Redhead provoked lot
of gossip on the part of their neigh
bors in the Old Orchard. A few were
jealous. That is what they were
jealous. And some of them were not
at all nice. But Mr.. and Mrs. Red
head paid no attention to them and
attended to their own affairs. The
house was finished and soon Mrs.
Redhead spent most of her time sit
ting on the precious eggs it con-
tanned
Redhead spent his time huntisg for
worms in the apple trees, helping him
self TO strawberries in Farmer
Browns garden or catching flies. He
was very fond OF catching flies and
was almost as clever at it as Cresty
the Flycatcher. In this respect he
was very different from his relatives,
Downy and Hairy, both members of
the Woodpecker family.
AS time went on Redhead became
so used to the peaceful life of the
Old Orchard thst he became careless.
he almost forgot that danger was
possible. One morning very early be-
fore anybody was stirring in Farmer
Browns house, Redhead flew around
to the other side of the house, the
side furthest from the Old Orchard.
There he sat on post trying to
make up his mind what he wanted
for breakfast
He was SO busy trying to make up
his mind whether he wanted straw
berries or bugs that morning that he
didn't pay much attention to any
thing else. Now it happened that

Aldermen; to Justice Freschi and 9th
ers, for Vanella is power among his
people.
Weeks before the wedding gifts be
gan to pour in at the undertaking es
Enlistment of the bridegroom, at 80
Madison Street, and at his home at 20
Madison Street. So much silverware
arrived that "Rox" found it impossible
to keep track of the givcrs and smI-
ingly credited all his friends with re-
membering him. In all, he says, $10,-
900 worth of gifts were sent to him
membered him with present of silver.
Of this "Rox" was sure
"Rox' Vanella was born thirty six
years ago at GO James Street, and he
has made his home in the neighborhood
ever since. He came up, not without
struggle, from bootblack's box to
the ownership of two undertaking
rooms, the presidency of the Ragpick-
ers' Union, membership in Tammany
Hall and q captaincy on the staff of
Big Tom Foley.
Friend Of the Ragpickers
The ragpickers swear by Vanella.
His organization of the union and the
three strikes that he called on behalf
of the members have improved condi-
tions among the workers immeasurably
and wages have mounted in proportion
to the improvements he has brought
about.
Just two months ago the Mayor of
James Street met his bride be. He
crossed the river to the marble works
of Faranda 4 Son, at Laurel Hill, L. L.,
to advise client in the choice of a
headstone. Mr.. Faranda's daughter,
Sadie, was standing beside a newly
hewn monument.
81 looked at her and decided that she
would be my monument" the Mayor"
said, telling Of the meeting. "Two
weeks later we were married at the
City Hall. And now, according to the
Italian custom, we are having a church
wedding"
While the wedding guests were still
making merry early this morning "Rox"
Vanella took his bride out to a waiting
automobile which he had bought for
her and they started out on their
honeymoon trip. They will go by motor
to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, thence by
train to Chicago. St. Paul, Montana,
Spokane. Portland. San Francisco, Los
Angeles and then home
On their return in two months the
couple will occupy home on Queens
Boulevard, just across the Fifty-ninth
Street bridge. "Mayor" Vanella has
bought block front and will erect
dwelling houses on it. He and his
bride will live on the corner. with a

Taft Appointment Most
Popular, Says Daugherty
Did Not Believe Such General
Approval Possible in Aneri-
can Politics

BALTIMORE, July STATIONERY Cen
eral Harry NJ. Daugherty, who has
been in Baltimore for the last few few
days, expressed his appreciation last
night of the appointment OF former
president William H. Taft as Chief
Justice of the United States.
Probably no appointment ever made
by the President" Attorney General
Daugherty said, "has received the
universal commentator that the ap
polntn.ent Of former President Taft as
Chief Justice has received. Many tele-
grams and letters have been received
by the President and by the Depart
ment of Justice since the death of
Chief Justice White, and at least 90
or IS per cent of them have been favor
able to the appointment of former
PRESIDENT Taft as Chief Justice.
Ills recognized attai1ments "a q
profound lawyer are appreciated by the
leading lawyers everywhere. I have
seen or heard no criticism except that
which is traceable to other reasons
than those rejecting upon his ability,
integrity and qualification as great
jurist. In fact there was less opposi-
ton to former President Taft's an
pointment than / would imagine there
would be to the appointment of any
man in the United States to any Of
the higher Offices"
