Saturday Night Bath
Enough, Chicago
Swimmers Say
By international News Service.

CHICAGO, July 5.-A plunge
into the cooling waters of the
good old lake is soon to be en-
joyed every day, but taking a
bath comes under the head Of
duties and every Saturday is
often enough.
This seems to be the conclu-
sion of at least so per cent of
those who patronize the Claren-
don municipal bathing beach.
Listen to the wall of Director
George J. Custer:
eve have eighteen trained
guards and a score Of attend
ants, and it takes every last
one Of them to enforce the rule
that a shower bath must pre-
cede a dip in the lake." he said
today. "F'ully half of those who
come to the beach try to dodge
the showers. They climb over
the fence, scoot through The
concessions cage or go over the
locker room walls and it keeps
us busy catching them and
herding them through the chute
that is li1Ied with showers.
Don't ask me why that's so.
And they seem to be. getting
worse all the time"

Men are easier to collect from

London Preacher Acts
Sermons Out In
Pulpit
By CHARLES A. SMITH,

LONDON, July 5.-A bold
and unique idea, aimed at cur
ing the prevalent evil of the
empty church, has been adopted
by the Rev. Ernest Thorn, Of
the Church of the Strangers,
London. Instead Of speaking
his sermon from the pulpit only
he acts the part chosen for his
text as well.
So far his experiment has
been a success and, theatrically
speaking, has filled the house.
He started his idea by por-
traying Abraham, complete
with beard and makeup, acting
scenes from the life Of the
patriarch on a specially erected
stage in his church, together
with limelight, full costume and
elaborate scenery representing q
tent pitched on the plains of
Palestine. His audience after
ward voted it q huge success.

MEAT NUTRITVE
PHYSICIAN
DECLARES
Eaten in "Modern, Sensible
Way" It Has Valuable
Food Qualities.
By ROLAND KREBS.
International News Service.

CHICAGO, July 8. - The man
whose stomach feels always as II
he had just eaten a stack of
cement usually can stop any
stranger on the street who will
tell him that we eat too much
meat and how awful 1t is.
But DIR. Herman N. Bundeson,
Chicago's commissioner Of health,
Is one who believes many persons
have cut meat out Of their diet
to their own harm.
THE leading authorities on foods, -
DIR. Bundeson told international
News Service, are agreed on the
high nutritive value Of meat. The
less fatty meats are a rich source
of protein. That Is needed for the
building OF new tissues and the re-
pair Of the old.
1.-THE leaner meats and the edible
organs furnish mineral matter.
This matter Is needed in quantity
above that found In the average
article. The iron content OF meat,
for example, compares faborably
with that Of eggs, spinach and
dates.
1T is not wise, however, that we
should try to live alone on meat.
The best rule that can be laid
down by which to regulate our
eating habits would be one that
provides for a well balanced diet.
Such diet should be made UP Of
meats, vegetables, fruits and cereals,
and these SO distributed through.
out our daily menu as to supply
all our bodily needs"
DIR. Bundeson described the op-
ponents of meat eating as per
haps the most rabid. the most
active and the most illogical" fad
dists III the broad field Of dietetics.
The most beneficial diet, he be-
lieves, is to be found in a variety
Of foods. To condemn a single
article Of food Of known value, the
commissioners thinks, is decidedly
harmful.
Meat should be eaten, he warned,
'in moderate, sensible way"

RAILS
PLANNEDFOR
LOSANCELES
New System Proposed Would
Provide More Parking
Space for Autos.
BY International News Service.


LOS ANGELES, July 5.-A street
railway, with cars Of 1O0-passenger
capacity, travelling sixteen Feet
above street traffic, with automatic
safety devices designed to eliminate
collisions and railway accidents. has
been approved by Captain Mellow
ell, head of the traffic bureau OF Los
Angeles police department, and Is
the latest suggestion for solving the
menacing problem Of Los Angeles
street traffic. The new plan was
invented by F. e. Felts, formerly
an Investigator for the chief OF
police.
Felts said recently the Los An
geles Railway Company had request
ed that he withhold sale Of his rights
on the plan until their engineers
had had an opportunity to inspect
the invention.
AS explained by Felts, the tor
pedo-shaped cars Of his mapped
railway would be sixty feet long and
would travel on rails formed OF two
fifteen-inch I-beams suspended from
T-shaped towers placed sixty feet
apart. A loaded car would weigh
approximately 1900 pounds, he said.
When installed the surface tracks
and lines now in use would be re-
moved, allowing additional parking
space for automobiles. Parking
space would also be had in the mid
die Of the street between the bases
Of the towers. Felts explained.
Captain Mcdowell pointed out
that elimination Of curb parking
and street car safety zones would
allow ''three-abreast" traffic on
both sides of the street and gave it
as his opinion that adoption of the
new system would solve the traffic
problem for at least twenty years.
