Late Hour Bathing
Palm Beach Custom

Palm Beach, April 11-(AP)-One
of the many Palm Beach idiosyn-
crasies which has been in effect since
the genesis of the famous resort is
that bathing is INDUCED in between
half past eleven and one o'clock.
The new conner to Palm Beach is
amazed to find the beach virtually de-
serted in the early part of the morn
ing and most of the afternoon. Upon
inquiry, the visitor learns that 1t has
ever been thus and probably will ever
be thus. For no one ever ever. ques-
lions an ancient Palm Beach custom.
Night does not begin in Palm Beach
until eleven O'Clock. The later the
party. the more fashionable it is.
Night clubs seldom get into their full
swing until past midnight. Under
these conditions, after being out late.
the social set seldom arises before
eleven in the morning.
1t is so fashionable to be late!
Knowing that any one who Is any one
in Palm Beach breads punctuality like
the plague, the bathers deem it es-
sential to make a late appearance for
their swim. e.e
In the beautiful sunlit afternoons,
there probably are not twenty persons
to be seen on the Breakers Beach.
There are various reasons: afternoon
teas, afternoon golf, late luncheons,
afternoon bridge and afternoon maps.
The proportion of bathers in the
ocean to the "bathers" on the sands
is usually about one to fifty. The
most amusing spectacle was the daily
appearance of the chorus girls from
Ziegfeld's revue, palm Beach
Nights" The girls appeared each day
in gorgeous bathing suits, some of
them hand-painted and all of them
bizarre.
Each day the many photographers
snapped their pictures standing at the
waters edge, but 1t was seldom that
the suits got wet. Like the girl in
he jungle, they hung; their clothes
n the bath houses, but didn't go
hear the water"
One of the most popular features
Of the beach to the masculine mind, is
the open air sun parlor on top of the
bathing Casino. The men go to the
roof divest themselves Of clothing
and stretch out to be slowly tanned
by the direct rays of the sun. This
pasime is INDUCED in especially be-
fore leaving Palm Beach, in order to
acquire coat of tan to take north.

Instrument to

Tucson, Ariz, April 12-(AP)-A
simple instrument - compared with
others for the same purpose-has
been perfected for measuring the In.
tnsiy OF the healing short rays Of the
sun by DR.. e. Petit OF the Mt Wilson
Observatory staff OF the Carnegie In
stitution.
The apparatus will be installed In
the Desert sanatorium here by DIR. D.
T. MacDougal of the Carnegie Desert
Laboratory.
1.-THE instrument apparatus Is capa-
BILE of great precision and will prove
invaluable in studying the benefits OF
various light waves to patients" said
DR.. MacDougaI. 1T consists essential
thermocouple sensitive to the short
rays. The chamber is mounted on an
astronomical clock which focuses q
tubular lens opening directly on the
sun throughout the day. A continue

chine needs virtually no attention
whereas the spectroscopic methods of
measuring the rays require constant
attention"
DIR. MacDougal explained that the
necessary element in the instruments
construction Is an extremely thin lay
err of silver depositedsupon a sheet Of
quartz used as lens. The silver
coating of the right thickness permits
only the short rays to pass and af-

quite by accident. While earning a meager salary as country school teacher, profession to which he had aspired while laboring on farm, young Parker attended court one day to hear a case in which his father was juror. A lawyer Of the silver. tongued variety, summing up for de- fense, made plea that so impressed the eager listener by its eloquence that he determined upon legal car ger from that moment, and immediate. ly began reading law.
 Upon his admission to the bar he en. gagged in private practice for few years, following which he was elected Surrogate of Ulster County. He at. l, tended the Democratic National Con- vention at which Grover Cleveland re- ceived his first nomination for the presidency, and upon the latter's cleo i, ton, Parker was offered the post of First Assistant Postmaster-General. which he declined.
 He was appointed to fill a vacancy on the State Supreme Court bench in 1885, and in 1897 was elected Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. Since the campaign of 1904 he has been en. gagged in the practice of law in New York as senior member of the firm of Parker, Hatch and Sheehan. He has served as president of the Ameri- can Bar Association and later as presi- dent of the New York County Law yer's Association.
 Judge Parker was a man of impres- sive stature and handsome appear ance, with a suggestion of power, courage and good nature. He was six feet tall, weighed 200 pounds, and had the proportions of an athlete. His head was large and his face that of a country-bred gentleman-strong, freshacolored and unwrinkled. His hair was reddish-brown.
 His character, as described by those associated with him for many years, was sober, sincere, unselfish and loy- al. He was charitable in his iudg- ment of others, never boastful, and always entertained a hearty scorn for display.
