body else" A year or two ago. when it became evident to the directors oi the Casino nt Monte Carlo that Cannes was gradually robbing the famous re- sort of its most glittering habitues, Miss Maxwell was employed to stage grand revival and to make Monte Carlo the 0n-plus- ultra of summer resorts. While the result of her activ- ities. the Monte Carlo Country Club is as much like country club ln the American sense as is Bailey's Beach at Newport. her creation Is a delight ful and very beautiful summer haven for those who wish Co bathe pleasant ly, lie in the sun, eat delicious food and enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramas that the Mediterranean has to offer.
 This Monte Carlo Country Club is situated over on the Cap Martin side of the Principality of Monaco. One drives from Nice and Beaulieu and Cap Ferret past the road that leads Co lovely Monaco itself, up into Monte Carlo. through the town and past the Casino towards Cap Martin, then sud- denly the road dives downward and the "elub" is found nestling at the foot of huge precipice and front ing the great thrust of Monte itself.
 Miss Maxwell. though she has now severed her connection with Monte Carlo and her name Is apparently un- known to the managers of the club, attained much publicity for her pro- iect with the importation of a rub Der beach of the type that was used SO successfully at Rye, just outside of New York. The idea was that where there was not a beach beach must be made and American ingenuity pro vided the idea of a solid rubber found ation. The result is none too happy for the rubber ends before one reaches the water and there is an intervening stretch of rocky and uncomfortable sea edge. But one cannot carp at this lack of perfection. Otherwise the Country Club" is delight.
 Just within the entrance are bath ing houses that are the last word in luxury. They contain wash basins, chairs, foot tubs and shower baths of fresh water At right angles to the bath houses. one aseends from the rubber beach by means Of long low flight of stairs to the pool. the big gest we have ever seen and with a great flow of crystal water pouring constantly into Il from the sea. Fac ing the pool is the terraeed restaurant with gay umbrellas and awnings, the usual dance floor and an orchestra, which plays when wanted at luncheon and ten time. Beyond and complet- ing the xemi-circle of the cove is most modern and delightful hotel with beautifully appointed rooms and each with q balcony giving on the beauti- 1ul view Of Monte Carlo.
 At the Monte Carlo Country Club enc follows the usual regime of the resorts Lunch by the pool with its great splashinQ fountain, then Q the bath houses and sun baths on the parapets of the pool or down on the rubber beach Then plunges or an hour 0r 50 of watching the beautiful

 Monaco.
 Possibly because. when on the Ri- Yiera. one is usually in a great hurry going to and fro between the gayer resorts. the fine old town of Monaco itself Is usually neglected by the tour ist, unless he mounts "The Rock. as it tx known. to sec the wonders Of the Marine Museum erected by the late Prince of the tiny state that exists without taxes because its support is contributed from the winnings of the great gambling Casino 9n the twin rock beyond, Monte Carlo. Yet for us, Monaco itself has more charm than almost any spot along this color fui and picturesque coast.
 As the motor comes down from the Moyen C0rniche, near the famous lit- tie church built tn cave In the rocks. one turns abruptly to the right and begins climbing through beautiful botanical gardens that wind upward to the town itself. There is about Monaco q deliRhtful theatric charm. The gendarmcs wear costume whose design must have been chosen tE Iy4. ,.E L. ..t1 Ca carly Nienneee opefetta. The closely packed town is a backdrop Of houses ln all the pastel eolofs of the rain bow. The streets are spOtlessly clean and nowhere does one see any sign af poverty or need Gay bougainvillea and clematis vines tumble over high walls that secrete beautiful gardens. Al the very tip top of the rock there is an open place and around it's four sides are grouped the chief public build ings, the principal one of them being the Palace of the Hereditary Princess. < little walk away and overlooking the sea you will find an open air restaurant where the visitor may lunch pleasantly and quench his noon day thirst with that beer for which Monaco ia famous throughout France.
 After lunch, and before plunging into the dark mysteries of the Marine Museum. second. if second. only to the Acqnarium at Naples. the visitor should ramble about the neat streets Of the lovely city. with quaint shops tucked away here and there and lovely quiet villas sleeping ln the sun. AL ways within sight is that other Rock. crowned with the Casino, a contrast iu fiction and fact Co the sOmnoIent life Of this Monaco which it's gambling activities support.

Cannes

Cannes
 We can think of no section of country in the world that contrasts m every way as does that portion oi the French coast called "The Riviera from winter to sum mer. Geographically. the summer Riviera actually extends, from the mouth of the Rhone to the Italian border and includes the various is- lands that lie off the coast from Corsica to Porquerolles. But even more contrasting are the classes of visitors who give life to the coast. Where the stately, smart residents of villas and hotels live the eonven- tlonal life of the winter season. the summer residents are given to the opposite extreme and life becomes the very essence of comfort and in- iormality. The starched bosom shirt gives way to the barred torso and ladies, who, in tho winter months ap- pear In rivalling costumes of the Paix, dance, dine and live their sun ny days in the comfort of scanty pajamas and wide-brimmed hats.
 From Marseilles to the Esterelles, the summer Riviera is largely the property of the French. Here. all along the rocky coast. they have built--and are building in this era of great French prosperity and af- fluence,- hideous little villas that cling to the rocks above every tiny sandy bathing beach Cassis, La ( infa Randole and the benches of Hveres are their happy summer bath ing strands At St. Raphael, the Eng fish still hold to their winter hotels and residences Charming old St. Tropeze has become the hunting ground of the gayest of summer crowds. including not few of the artists and inhabitants of the Left Bank in Paris. St. Maxine on the other side of the bay is equally gay and sporting. Then around the foot of the Esterelles to Cannes and the international invasion begins.

It requires a few days to become accustomed to this new summer life. It Is not long. however. before one discovers that one is happiest doing as quickly as possible what the Romans do. To camphor go the rigid costumes of summer cities. Paiamas and beach hats for ladies, short sleeved shirts open at the neck and flannel trousers for the men and linen or canvas sandals for both and one is clothed in the regulation cos tune for any hour O. the day or the evening. For the male, at least, all this is q blessing and a relief. No where else in the world can man be so comfortable in the heat of sum mer as on the Riviera

Juan les Pins


 One visit to the beach at Juan les Pins sufiieed us for the season.
 This excellent sandy stretch. few years ago known as the best along the Riviera has suffered the usual ef- fleets Of overpopularity and too much advertising. An American promoter who has been investing many millions of francs in the Riviera resorts is largely responsible for turning Juan les Pins from pleasant watering place into a crowded beach resort that excepting the differing languages and varied natioHalities of it's visitors, has .ts counterpart many times re- peated along our own Jersey coast. The center Of activity Is the truly beautiful and modern Hotel de Prov ence with it's attendant Casino just across the way. The beach, narrow in comparison with the wide spaces of our American beaches shelves sharply downward into the sea. Every available space is as crowded with human flesh as are the beaches at Coney Island on a July Sunday. In the Casino itself the gambling crowd sits at the gaming tables from late afternoon until early morning. Slight iy clad youths and maidens dance from noon until far after midnight
 Aside from its crowded beach Juan les Pins furnishes sufficient amount of picturesque interest. The grove of leaning pines which gives the resort its name centers the town. There are excellent little restaurants and shops in the side streets and if one would see this summer Riviera at it's gayest, then a visit to the dancing garden known as "Maxim's" in the hour before sunrise will reveal the holiday crowd at a dawn breakfast of scrambled eggs and champagne. and ali to the ineessant strains of throb- ping jazz.

 There came a day when We took the hideous road from Cannes through Nice and over the beautiful Moyen to Monte Carlo to see the new and inappropriately named Monte Carlo Country Club" whose whole be- ing and design is attributed to the energies of Miss Elsa Maxwell. the American lady from California who has become known in certain Contin- ental and Manhattan circles as the indefatigable organizer of amusing parties. Miss Maxwell, it was. who started the craze for parties where everyone arrives costumed as some

In the summer months, the great Casino down on the Quai is closed and at the far end of the Croisette, where the road turns to go inland for moment before taking to the coast and Juan les Pins, new play house has been built, bearing the totally inappropriate name of the Palm Beach Casino. Here is a great bathing pool with tables all about it, a dancing floor complete with gigolo and tango orchestra. Within are the tables for bouie and baccarat. a stuffy and uncomfortable bar, theatre and an enormous restaurant with windows that look over to the islands of St. Honorat and Ste. Marguerite The bathing beach, as are So many beaches on the Riviera, is inadequate. The water is heavenly blue and clear and in this extraordinary summer. delightfully."- bfaeing. From ten in the morning until the far reaches of the next morning. one may dance. bathe, gamble and eat and drink to ones hearts content If you like summer casinos of this type then the Palm Beach will please you.
 Something happened to us on our first visit to the Palm Beach. We arrived near nine for dinner on a perfect night. As We entered the building, unfortunately we eneoun- tered two of those characters SO we'll known to European resorts. One of them was an old lady with a paint-besmeared face. The other was a slim, well-dressed young man. Wait ing as We were we could not but overhear-though we did not try not to hear-the aerid conversation that went on between them. The old lady had, 1t appeared. been playing al bac- carat and had lost a considerable amount of money. The young man was berating her soundly and in no uncertain terms. Whether he was her son or 'eher ami" we never knew. He finally hustled her un- tremendously into a waiting motor car and in two languages sent her home, weeping.
 Inside we found the bar hot and airless. A few forlorn people were watching a dull movie. Beside us sat q rather distinguished looking Frenchman with two young girls in evening dress and two young men whose sole costume was made up of polo shirts. white hannels and sandals. A radio loud-speaker bel lowed forth the ear-splitting efforts of a Paris soprano and made con versation impossible. A few sultry souls drifted into the dining room. Something about the place annoyed and bored us SO we entered the motor again and went back to the Croisette and dined in the heavenly evening on the terrace of the Miramar hotel with the sea before and beyond and the lights of myriad yachts twink ling in the distance.

Thanks to the fact that the Lido of Venice. once discovered by the mob. became little too popular for vari. ous Of the more exclusive summer sun-seekers, someone suggested going to Cannes out of season. The result is the present dangerously increasing popularity of the Cote d'Azur in the months of July and August To Cannes come the plutoeratic French and many English and plenty of Americans Juan les Pins, just next door. k the paradise of the French bourgeoisie and the Central European tourist. not unlike our own Asbury Park in aspect and genre.

Monte Carlo presents itself today as one of the most at tractive of all the summer resorts on the coast, as yet, happily. undiscov- cred by the mob.
 It is still a little disconcerting to those who have memories of the dour days of Victoria the Good. to arrive at Cannes for the first time in the summer season and find the platform of the gare crowded with gentlemen in bathing shorts and sandals and Little else, and ladies In the sheerest Of filmy silken pajamas. Fresh down from rainy, damp Paris and still clad in the harness of civilization. the visitor looks on the waiting crowd with some perturbation. All this lack of clothing seems. at first glance, not d little unnecessary but rather exhibitionistic.

URGE BILL ENFORCING
LOCAL WAGE SCALE
Builders of Government Works
Must Pay Washington Salaries
Under New Measure.

A bill TO provide that all contractors
doing building work for the District
government would have to pay laborers
and mechanics the prevailing wage
scale in Washington was recommended
to members of the Senate yesterday by
John B. Colpoys and E. J. Murphy,
representing the buy-in- Washington
committee.
They had in mind the possibility Of
inserting a provision in the appro-
priation bill, but were advised it should
be handled as a separate piece of legiS-
lation. They conferred with Chairman
Capper of the Senate District commit
tee and Chairman Bingham of the Dis
trict subcommittee on appropriations.
The bill would require that the fol-
lowing clause be inserted in all propo-
sails for estimates on municipal prof.
ects: Provided that all wages paid me-
chanics and laborerS working on con-
struction projects as provided for in this
bill shall be one prevailing scale as es=
tablished and paid in the District of
Columbia"
Mr.. Colpoys and Mr.. Murphy explain
ed that this would put all bidders on an
equal competitive basis and also would
tend to prevent impairment of the
standards of employment of all build
ing trades, mechanics and laborers.
They said that placing this clause in
the proposals would give notice to out
of-town bidders of the wages to be paid
on District work.
