Paris.—Bathing suits for sum
mer show two distinctly different
classifications; those meant for
wear in the salty water and those
intended for lounging on the beach
and bathing in the hot sun.
Suits that support the water
come in jersey and are usually in
one piece but give the appearance
of being in two. A delightful one
called “Thetis*" has the upper part
in white and the notched trousers
of black, blue or green. It has the
monogram on the top at the base
of the deep V neckline or on the
small belt.
Striped bathing suits for the sea
are great competitors with the
fwo-colored plain-toned suits and
the plaid patterns shown for the
beach. Stripes are almost always
fh vivid shades, while plain colors
range from the pastel tones which
Jenny uses so delightfully in such
combinations as pale pink with pale
blue or deeper tones, such as navy
and even black. "Meduse" ' is a
characteristic Jenny water-suit
Which marks the use of two colors.
Here pink and blue jersey unite
through inlaid zigzag points. The
skirt is detachable and makes a
scarf if one prefers. The matching
CAp is of helmet type.
In nearly every instance, the
bathing cap matches the costume
or one of its notes.
- Sun-bathing taffeta or other
gji^. “Niaid” comes in two colors of
crepe de chine. “Nereid" has a
plaid pleated skirt which may bo
removed. “Ecossais” is made by
combining taffeta with plaid in
jiayy and white. There is a plain
bodice, pleated skirt and sleeveless
«*bftt with pockets, not to mention
a charming black leather belt pip
ed with silver.
"^his^eaT, more of the dress
makers ihi»n ever have brought
ddt striking beach ensembles in
khree pjpebs. One of them is show
ing a lovely one in white taffeta
With a Whtte cape which can be re
moved. Dodier's “Acquinaia” is a
f#»orite for bathing ensembles.
, The sleeveless coat with broad
bands of trimmings is an import
ant feature of the ensembles. Dre
eoll makes charming ones in man
darin style with wide flowing
sleeves. Poiret puts white fur about
a blue and lame mixture.

Coney Island Has
Lost Child Record
(By International News Scrvic. >.)
New York.—More children are
“lost” at Coney Island than any
other place in the,country, accord
ing to officials of the New York
State prison commission.
In a report on the condition of
the 28th police precinct at Coney
Island the prison .'onivnfsuon re
vealed that from Mav 30 to Sep
tember 20, 102(1, a total of 2,838
children were reported lost at
Coney Islnnd.
As high as 100 children were re
ported lost in one day last sum
mer.
So many boys and gills have
been lost at Coney Island in the
last few seasons that this year live
lost children’s stations were estab
lished along the beach.
, The prison commission said the
police should not be compelled to
look after all the "lost" children
who are broughT to the station
house. The report said, in part:
<"The police of this busy precinct
should not be required to under
take the care of these children with
the many other important matters j
i.i which_I]heir services aro needed.’
The commission reecrmfufiadeu
that representatives of the New
York City police department con
fer with officials of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil
dren in an effort to work out a
plan'which would provide for the
case of the lost children and Coney
Island.
Mayor And Court
Have No Appeals
(By International News Service.)
Atlanta.—North Atlanta, a sub
urb, has a court of law probably
the only one of its kind in the
United States. It is called the
“Court of Conciliation," and its
success may he seen in the fact
that no eas" once taken before it
has ever been appealed to a higher
court.
No lawyer is permitted to plead
for a client in the court of con
ciliation, because they “frequent!/
eluter up the wheels of justicce.”
Dr. A. S. Uibby, mayor of North
Atlanta and dean ot the school of
commerce and hank at Oglethorpe
university is founder of this court
and he is the sole magistrate.
The litigants are permitted to
talk over the disputes with Dr.
Libby,’who then decides and hands
down his opinion, which so far as
North Atlanta is concerned is
final. A number of property dis
putes and matrimonial, difficulties
have been straightened out, it was
said. Court is held in one of the
classrooms of Oglethorpe or when
the school is closed, in the parlot
of Dr. I.ibby court,” said Dr. TJbby
“The procedure is informal. There
is not limit as to the amount in
volved; a case of any size is ac
cepted, provided either side cannot
employ counsel or use the regu-t
lar courts. A lawyer may plead
his own case but otherwise law
yers are barred. With that excep
tion it is* just like any other court.
Cases are decided according to the
substantive law and not according
to arbitrary opinions of right and
wrong.”

MEDICINE HABIT IS

(By International News Service 1
London.—The habit of swallow

Gov. Small In Battle For Vindica
tion. To Make Battle His Most
Stirring Battle.
(By Louis Humphrey, INS Staff
Correspondent. 1
Springfield, 111.—Illinois politi- \
cians are girding themselves for a
clash of unprecedented bitterness
at the next election.
New hatreds and alignments
have risen in the “Sucker State,”
threatening overthrow of existing
combines'hnd even the political life
of some prominent in shaping the
stale’s destinies.
The fight for the governorship
promises to be marked by extreme i
bitterness.
Gov. Len Small, whose adminis
tration ruled the late session of
the legislature with a firm hand, ,
is expected to be a candidate for
election. If he is, he will exert
himself to the utmost to win, as he
is smarting under recent payment
to the state of §650,000 which
counsel for the state alleged was
due for unpaid interest on state
funds during Small’s term as state
treasurer. The governor himself
claims the payment unjust and that
he was forced to settle for inter
est which certain banks received
on state funds.
Three Down-Staters
As already self-announced enemy,
for gubernatorial honors, he must
fate Attorney Generay Oscar C«r:
strom, under whose command the
state’s counsel agreed to the out
of-court settlement between Small
and the state over the alleged un
paid interest.
A third strong entry for the po«t
probably will be Secretary of State
L. L. Emmerson, undoubtedly a
candidate ancka political enemy of
the governor for years. Emmerscn
is perhaps able to poll the largest
personal following in Illinois.
All three of ihese downstaters,
to whose number may be added
John Oglesby, son of Illinois’ Civil
War governor, Richard Oglesby.
And Chicago, smarting under
what she believes unjust treat
ment by the last legislature, may
hold the deciding cards.
Whether she will back one of
the- downstaters with all the pow
er of the Thompson-Lundin, De-'
necn-Crowe factions or whather
the factions will split, is a matter .
for conjecture.
