and COS III the second. IL IN fair
trim and given an even break IN

Burtner Is II garaester.
A weakness III his game Is the
inability to steady himself on an
unusually slippery runway. This
is due largely to the fact that he
takes a longer run than the av'

Wooden bathing suits: An snswer
to the prayers of timid souls who
long to swim but are afraid to go
near the water.
This innovation In the realm Of
what the well-dressed bather
should wear" was introduced here by
several fair water nymphs. who ap.
peared on the beach garbed in suits
made entirely of thin spruce veneer.
Their owners claim they are al.
most as pliable and comfortable as
wool garment and are as buoyant
as a life preseryer, to say nothing of
the fact that moths find them en-
