CONSCIENCE TO GUIDE
BATHING SUITS IN. CAL.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S---(U. P)
-tLet Your Conscience BE Your
Guide is to be the rule for the bath
ing beauties of California this year.
The beach season got under way
here with the enunciation of this bath
ing suit principle by police depart
ments around the bay region,
Miss Angelina Vaughan, police cen-
sor at Alameda Beach, has put her
official okeh on the new suit design
cd by Marie Devourak, star swimmer
of Neptune Beach. Miss Devourak's S
suit leaves nothing further to be an
ticipated. After her first dip in the
surf life guards declared frankly that
nothing could he than whicher. To
cut off another inch would simply be
to invite disaster, they declared.
The new suits of a design similar to
Miss Devourak's which will be worn
on California beach this summer, are
tight fitting, light, and as there is
scarcely anything to hamper either
the swimmer or the cyesight, perfect
freedom of play is left for swimming.
Last years modest one-pece suits
appear cumbersome in comparison to
the present models. Stockings, of
courte, went out years ago. Even the
shock -absorbers have been ommitted
on the new 1922 model.
There is only one restriction plac-
cd on the suits by the beach police;
They must be used for swimming. and
not for promenading. Beach beau
ties must stay Off the boardwalk, un-
