WHAT IS PROPER BATHING COSTUME Authorised Styles V»rv At Famous Beaches. (I Sunhack Suits Many Beaches. Now that the bathing beaches at Lincolnton, at Sylvia Lake, 'lie Horse Show lake and Lithia Inn are in full operation and being en joyed by thousands, what is Lin coln ton's opinion on what consti tutes modesty in bathing and street dress for women and men? Every summer season there is much to be said about this topic . in various parts of the country. Some sections ire content to let things go as they arc taking the position that for the most part people do as they please, and there isn't much use to try and put the lid on when it conies to dress. The styles, undergo so many changes reason to reason that there i? always something to be said about them. Just now there Is c rie?! being said about what is known as the "sunback" styles. These are In b* found not only in the bathing suit . but dresses for street v.er.t a:- being fashioned along this l.itv’. Whether er not there has bran any severe criticism hereabouts os • ret tome 10 light as yet. However it interesting to note what other er r are doing. It was recently !r !med that remen at the New York City beaches have been for-' bidden from wer ring bathing su.t with no back , or rather, the ne.v ing'ed sun back, but are allowed to Li:- their husbands in return fo a v-inic handout or an ice cream ertv At Long Peach however, a -ton?' 11nter up the coa'-t. kissing one'. hr:'\ nd '"n*. to' be a- dangerci r- ' ’Iking hark to a traffic cop. but rrptuns one's back, regardless of its ; • -. appear- to be a matter rt (h- - n beet.ne on the back is gc f ir • - ;p iMit."

The trouble with so many of oui family trees is that if you ex amine them closely enough you will lind they are full of saps. "A horseshoe twice was suppos ed to bring good lurk. but now you have to be pretty lucky to fmd one.'1 says the Dayton News. A press dispatch, which tells of a tad in British Co'umbr who fell 800 f-rt down the side of a mountain on i the family homestead, brings to mind the old story of that section In which a settler declared that fie had fallen off his ranch twice in one Women Trail Men In Air But Don’t Earn Money Flying I Above, Elmer Smith, who hold* women’* endurance flight record.

I International Kswsrecl) _ 'A Of 65 Licensed to Fly, None Yet Goes Aloft for Living THE first woman lias yet to cam a living by practical flying, and in exhibition aviation of all kinds no woman holds a world’s record with the exception of Miss Elinor Smith who holds only the woman’s record for the longest endur ance solo flight. Jc.sse Lankford. chief of the li censing section. Aviation Branch of the Commerce Department, believes that « better day ts dawning for women In aviation when women learn a rigidly Eet formula—best ex pressed in his own words, "a man's wray." He said that although seven women have obtained transport oilot's licenses—compared with 4,500 masculine pilots of this class—and although a total of 65 women have been licensed to fly. not one has ever engaged In commercial flying for a living. Womens ventures have b«-n en tirely In the field of exhibition fly ing, he added. 47 being licensed Vo take up private aircraft, ten to carry | .ssengers within ten miles of designated fields, and one to carry baggage or messages.*, but not passengers. Tim National Aeronautic Associa tion has established a separate field for women's records. Not one of these equals men's achievements In the same phase of aviation. Louts* McPhetridge, for Instance, holds the women's altitude record—20.270 feet —but tljig compares with the "9,140 feet altitude mark of Lieut. Apollo Soucek of the Navy. Chief Lankford sees entering wedges that will provide avenues for women's entrance to the field. The State of Tennessee, h* said. Is arranging to offer fr*« flying *ehool courses to any college student, man or woman, who wishes to take them. So Is West Virginia. These equal opportunities, Lankford believes, will Increase the number of women pilots, and they will begin to go Into the business of actual flying as Into any other career, rather than using it as they now do as a means to an end. One other circumstance, he added, will work toward women's advance ment in commercial aviation: By the time piloting becomes "as simple as taxi driving.” there will be a necessity for pilots at lower salaries than any now receive. Artificial Sunshine Brings Health Back To Youngsters 1 150 Children Hourly Treated At School In Chicago; Mercury Lamp Cause* Sunburn. Chicago—Synthetic sunshine in ; wholesale quantities, declared even more efficacious than the genuine I article. is building health and strength in hundreds of child crip ples at the Spaulding .school for crippled children. ! An apparatus said to be world' • largest mercury quartz lamp and the only one of its kind, has been constructed there and administers j treatment at the rate of 150 chil j dren an hour. After tests and experiments con ducted over a period of two weeks, the equipment was demonstrated to i a group of scientific and medical j experts by Dr Benjamin Goldberg, director of the Municipal Tubercu losis sanatorium and designer of the machine. The chief feature of the contri | ance is an automatically moving platform that carries the children through at a rate designed to give each small group the prescribed dosage of ultra violet rays Six large mercury quartz lamps are ranged, three on each side, giving radiation to every part of the body. Erch of the small patients wears p minimum of clothing for his daily sunshine bath and colored gog gles to protect his eyes from he glare of the lamps. For the first i treatments the platform moved the children threugh at a high rate of ! speed. As they became acclimated to | the artificial rays, which are ex- I tremely powerful and will cause a sunburn within the space of n min ute. the speed was reduced and the, dc. es made longer.

Woman Holds All Jobs In This City -South Platte.■■ Colo.- With tin panic fishing season Just getting into full swing In Colorado. Mr; Charles VValbrecht. one of the busi est women in the West, is prepar ing for one of the most act ti e years of her 30-odd summers as this towns ruling power. Since the death of her husba. d several years ago, Mv.i Walbrecht has "carried on" nnd ivn this haven of fishermen to the satisfaction of everybody. She occupies every office from mayor to marshal.

She does the bulk of the housework, much of the cook ing and serving of meals A typical dav for Mrs Walbrecht starts before dawn when she rooks breakfast for the early fishermen She then prepares the outgoing mail, lor she also is the post mist res, and has been for yea:s. With the arrival of the narrow gauge train that puffs its way up the Platte bringing sportsmen, comes new guests to be eared for Mail then Is distributed by the post mistress in the little picturesque postoflice. a 10-by-13 fret affair, one of the smallest in the state. Then she sells tickets to out-going travelers, for she also is the depot agent and "baggage smasher.” After milking the cows and tend ing other livestock.

What part of the afternoon is not j spent in cooking, more cleaning, • feeding the chickens and livestock, i Mrs Walbrecht is making the wives . of fishermen who lounge on the j front porch “feel at home" Then after it Is too dark to fish, the dinner hour has past, Mrs Wal brecht mingles with the crowd in ‘ her Log Cabin Inn. a small recrea- 1 tion hall where men play pool and cards. But since South Platte burned 20 years ago. the town has been tran quil Mrs. Walbrecht bears scar’s of the memorable burning of the town. John Bleu, stage driver, endeavored to shoot up the town when drunk. When Mrs. Walbrecht interfered she was shot and severely wounded. Bleu then went on a shooting orgy Bishop Wrecks The hairest Vision Of All Bv Market Plav Concord Times "The fairest vision of fifty 'yew's' has been wrecked." This is the reaction of Bishop W. M Dubose, of the Methodist Ep.i > copal church, south, to the Wli te House tea to which the wife of ’',< negro congressman from Illinois was invited by Mrs. Hoover. Bis •- j op Dubose, it will be remembered was one of the most ardent sup- j porters of Mr. Hoover in the cam paign last year, and he wielded wide influence in Tennessee tor fr.e Itepul'iKTn candidate. The Winston-Salem Journal which aided Mr Hoover by its in-j fasten! and persistent attacks upon; Oovcrnor Smith, thinks "the Bi ii op sums up the .situation pretiv accurately" The Journal believes Bishop Dubose probably had rrl erence, to the hope that many whtt5 Republicans of the South had beau entertaining since President Hoo vers election that the Republican party in the South would be re formed with the elimination of tii»! colored control that has manipu lated it in nianv sections of 'he South for years." The Journal thinks the present* of the negro woman at the tea will, alienate "the confidence and sup port of the many thousands r>( Southern people who voted lor Hoo ver last fall." It says: •'The injection of the rare tissue' n this sudden ajid peculiar man-! aer has also wrecked the vision cf he South and West, whose ini'v »sts in many respects are identicil. is beneficiaries of an administri :ion. which It was hoped would not sc tied body and soul to the power ful industrial and business. East. But now that the rdminlstratlon has ta^en such a decisive step to ward establishing racial equality, it has forfeited the confidence ar.d support of the many thousands of Southern people w'ho voted for Hoo ver last fall. ■'Events subsequent to the now fa mous White House tea Indicate thut Congressman dr Priest and colored people who share his ambitions mean to make the most of this un fortunate social equality move. Sue i procedure will, of course, serve to alienate Southern white suppoC ers of the president still further. Whatever promise of effectiveness the Hoover administration prevtou-, ly enjoyed in the South has been thoroughly dissipated now.” and wounded several, burned th* town and then commuted suicide.
