NEW YORK, July 26.-Those whom
the hot weather of the last few
days has been driving to the beaches
along the North Atlantic Coast have
because the water in the ocean is
colder than it has been in years at
this season
With the advent of the one-piece
suit for women, ocean bathing this
season has reached the height of its
popularity as an outdoor sport for
both sexes. if wearing a bathing suit
on the beach can be called bathing
Most OF the wearers will be found
decorating the sands on the beach
after dipping a tentative toe into the
icy waters and deciding on sunburn
as the lesser of two discomforts.
The once familiar invitation, Come
on in. the waters finfie," is rarely heard
these days. because even the attend
ants at the lighthouses make no at
tempt to conceal the fact that the wa
ter is cold. Besides. 1t doesn't hurt
business to admit the truth, since
there are just as many persons as
ever starting out from the bath
houses in search Of the ocean. al
though fewer Of them actually
reach IT.
All sorts of theories have been ad
vanced by the bathers and near
bathers for the frigidity of the well
known and justly celebrated Atlantic
which does not usually behave so
badly in late July. There are anna
teur scientists at every beach who
will inform you with all the assur-
ance of those who know whereof they

President Sees
Business Aided
By Grain Boost

Improvement in general business
conditions Is expected by President
Coolidge to result from the ad-
vances in the prices of wheat, corn
and other farm products.
The President was said at the
White House to see In the increas-
ed prices an approach toward the
long-desired state of similarity in
the levels OF farm and manufac-
tured products.
Mr.. Coolidge also is hopeful that
the new $26.000.000 grain market
ing company, formed through a
merger Of five of the largest grain
companies Of the country. Will
prove method of lessening the
expense of marketing, and thereby
benefit both the farmer and con-
sumer The Government, however,
has not approved or disapproved
the new company, as there has

authorities to pass on the concern.

W. R. & E. TRIES MACHINE
FOR ISSUING TRANSFERS
Apparatus, if Successful, Will Be
Installed to Aid in Speed
ing Service,

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company is experimenting with
a machine for issuing transfers as
another possible step toward speeding
up car service.
The appara resembles an adding
machine. On top is q keyboard with
a button for each transfer point. Near
the floor there is a foot pedal. The
conductor touches the button for the
transfer junction desired. steps on the
pedal and out comes a transfer.
II crowd of passengers get aboard,
all desiring transfers to the same
intersection. the conductor sets the
button once and the transfers will
roll out as rapidly as he steps on the
foot lever.
Whether the company will install
this equipment on its cars will de-
pend upon the success of the one now
being tried out on the North Capitol-
Eleventh street line.

Under authority granted by the

The committees investigation of

was sweeping through the Senate.
The issues removed today were taken
up then and President Coolidge pro-

the Senate had voted the committee
authority to hire a special attorney,
was taken seriously Ill and removed

While the hearings were on the

they should not be confined to the
tax collection methods Of the Treas

controversy, and Gov. Pinchot of
Pennsylvania, who voiced criticism
of the Treasury prohibition enforce

the Californian's selection upon Sem

tails as to prohibition enforcement
were constantly dragged into the
Daugherty inquiry, which Senator
Wheeler, now the vice presidential

recting.
While the question of the commit
tee going into prohibition enforce
