to bis design before the warm wcntlter ap

rllrls may ro without sleeves, but not
without stoclsliiRs.
Knitted bathing suits will be permitted
if thero are skirts.
All skirts must npproacli the ttnee. Just
how nenr the knees depends on the "nrclih
teeture" of the wearer,
I.lfe Ruards will tint be requested to carry
rulers to measure the skirts. That Is left
to the. Individuality of the ballier.
Thin Rlrl.i will be allowed more liberty
In this line fliau plumii innld-".
The colors of batbliiR costumes nre not re

their material. clliiRlnu plnpensltles, may

built of serpe or some firm fnbrlo Riiiirnn
teed not to cIIiir.
Any form of hendRcnr to the feminine
heart may bo worn with the hitthlnn cos
tume, provided the surf bonnet Is not so
ornate that It Interferes with tho comfort
of other bathers.
The weatiliR of surf Mines Is purely op.

liif While the illrector dwelt rnllier nt lenKtlt
on the batbliiR Rlrls" Rnrb. he added Hint
no "tllscrciinjiclen" in masculine nttire would
he permitted. It has often been found, he
said, that mm nre more Immodest than
women In selectliiR their surf attire.
Then lie went mi to tell about the batb
IriR plans for 101":
'Fifteen tnoro men nlll be added tn the
beach patrol, l.lfe RU.irds will If divided
Into threo shifts, daytime. moonllR'.it ami
sunrise, so that bathe's will be properly
protected, no matter nt what hour they
prefer their ocean plunge There will be
no lncreaso In the number of bench sur
Rons or in the hospital equipment, for we
feel that we have made every ros'iblo prn
vision for the care anil comfort of the bnth
rs. ,
We will still enforce the edict of lnt
iimmer. that no swimmer. will be permit
ted bevond the line estnbliyhed by the life
boats." It Is usually the linritned swim
mer who tnkes tho most risks nml often
pets Into tho most dllllculty. If yon will
remember, there wcro no drowning here
last summer whllo the guards were on duty.
The city will employ about ino men nest
summer to look after the bathers, nml no
guard will bo ro-emplojed without miner
BoiiiB the annual test.
"I find It Is tho easiest tiling In the
world to maintain order on the strand.
Two nr three ilayn nfter a law has been
announced visitors ncccpt It. I felt Inst
vear that ton many rlwittu bathing rlc wern
worn. filNeii a few lllx-t ties, there were
those who ran tho gamut or Indecency.
While I concede that It is perfectly pos
sible for some women tn bathe without
stockings and still look modest, there nro
also a whole lot of women who look vulgar,
and so to satisfy .the majority of people
I have made a strict rule that no feminine
bathers without stockings will be permit
ted on tho strand.
"We aro going to do nway with beach
parties on tho strand, because the merry
makers very often litter up the beach
with ri'ihblsli and make It uncoinfnrtalili
for tho morning bathers."
That knitted, close-lilting bathing suits
are to bo tho fashion Is evidenced by the
fact that all the bathhouse barons nre
selecting models of knitted fabrics. At tho
Urlgliton Casino, tho most conservative
battling establishment on tiie Walk, tho
manager said today that ho would have to
discard other models, for patrons of tho
Casino Insisted upon t-uns-flttlns Jersey
suits.
Who knows'.' If the fad for knitting keeps
up, girls may be knitting bathing suits In
stead of sweaters next summer '.

VICE CRUSADER URGES
MINIMUM WAGE LAW
His Dcclarution Follows Unusual
Scene in Church in San
Francisco
SAX I'IJ..cisco. Jim. 2il. "A minimum
w.'iRe law tor women Is I lie necessity of the
hour."
So declared the llov. 1'aul Smith, vice
crusader, today. Ills dcclnratlon followed
an unusual scene in the Central Methodist
Kplrcipnl Church., when Bnil women of the
underworld mni'clieil to the front of tlip
liuililiiiK and deiiiuniled to know Achat it
was proposed to do witli them when the
tenderloin district was suppressed. The
Itev. Mr. Smith, following personal Investi
gation', had obtained from tho city author
ities! assurances that bis recommendations
for suppressing vice would be followed. A
mns.i-nicetinR to discuss the uutxtion was
In proRi-ess when the women walked in.
A handsomely Rowned woman Mcppcd to
the pulpit and begun spealiliiR.
"I have conducted n house In this city
for many years." alio said. "I have studied
this problem. CI rut I want to ask a iiues
tloii. 'How many of the women of your
church would accept us Into their homes
even to work?' Vim would cast us out.
Where, to? There Is not one mitotic us
who wouldn't quit this life for decent work.
Jut wo won't quit for a wage of $7 or ?8
n week. Kveii a pair of slioen nowadays
costs $10..
"I have a daudhter of fourteen. Almost
every woman here has nt least ono child.
R'liiie of them nro supporting mothers ntnl
little brothers and sisters. AVo nro iiRalnst
the lives wo lead as well ns you. Wo aro
witling to work for n decent wage. 15ut
we can't get it.
"You soy 'Our bo.vs must sow their wild
oats.' All right, "U sco tieforo you tho
harvest of those, oats.
"If you want to stop tho social evil, stop
tho new girls from coming In. Tho girls
coining In will always bo coming In us long
as conditions, wages nml education remain
,in they are."
She said all this tind a great ileal more.
She adviiiLil church women tn stop gossip
lug and rear their suns so tliey would not
start girls on the way to ruin.
"This is the saddest mouuyit of my life."
said the (lev. Mr. Smith ns nlie concluded.
"How many of you have children?"
Three-fourthx of tho women rulsed their
hands.
"Itow many of you are In this life bo
ciiiiso you couldn't tnalo enough t livo

Ilalr or the women answered In the
utllrmative.
"How many of you would work for Jlo a

Neighborhood of Sixth ami Cal
lowhill Streets Scared When
2500 Are Vaccinated
There wns a general rush for suitcases
and trunks mien the neighborhood of Sixth
and Callow hill streets awoke today.
Everywhere one looked there wns n po
llo'iimn. Knoli bluecoat stood n though
ready for action. To make mutters worse,
the streets were roped off to Spring Harden
street aril up n Seventh. Willow, Noble.
ItuttonwoMl and Marshall streets wery in
cluded In the "keep-out" section. Pozen
of plainclothes men whispered mysteriously
with the policemen.
"It's n raid." Hhouted one lajsy-eyed In
dividual from the third-story window.
"You're right," said another', "let's git."
Quickly the wotd flew from house 1o
house. "We're raided." Then ramn the rush
for personal belongings. Over fences and
down back alleys to side streets many
rushed, only to run lilump Into the arms of
waiting cops.
Some showed tight without walling for
explanations. Then they learned thnt tho
neighborhood was quarantined and all with
in had to be vaccinated.
While 151) bhiecoats maintained order
fifty phjsirlans. under the direction of Dr
A. A. Cairns, chief medical Inspector, and
Dr. It. A. Stretcher, vaccinated about 25n
residents of tin section.
The wholesale vaccination campaign was
duo to the discovery that Miner Stron. of
17!! North Marshall street, was suffering
from smallpox. He came here from llnltl
morc about a week ago. Ho was Immedi
ately taken III. Yesterday he went to the
Northern Dispensary. Kalrmount avenue
and Marshall street, for treatment. The
physicians thero discovered that Stron was
suffering from conlluent smallpox. They
notified the health authorities and Strou
wns hurried to the Municipal Hospital. Di
rector Krusen then ordered the vaccination
of all who lived near the place where the
caso was discovered.

Hardwood floors give the best service

make rugs and carpets unnecessary,
lowering the temperature. In winter
their heat-retaining qualities make your

Mrs. Sciihner pointed out that Blio Is

This "discrimination," ns Mrs. Scribner

HE scientific designing of health

has been carried to the highest
point ot specialization at

Wo have no "cure-all" shop. There is no one
model or Inst that can possibly meet the require
ments of every foot in need of correction. And
while we are oxclusie distributors for such
splendid health shots ns tho "Osteotarsnl" for
women, the Geuting "ArchForm" wonder last
for growing feet and the famous Ground'
Gripper Shoes for all the family, the greatest
surgical shoe of the age, we have carried ortho
pedics to a higher degree than any particular
last. Our experience has proven when radical
correction is needed the individual foot must
he fitted.
The leading physicians and orthopedists of
, Philadelphia send their patients and prescrip
tions to us, as we maintain a highly efficient
custom department, capable of making any
alteration or producing a shoe to meet anry
requirements.
Mr. Geuting will gladly consult with you
regarding foot-health for yourself or your
children. He will always advise when a physi
cian is necessarv.
