Once Storn Sox Shows Ex
tremes in Stylos Bathers
on Boach Shun Water
LIKE CROWD OF MANIKINS
Thousand of rnnnlklns preened and
trotted, Judged and were Judged, yes
terday In the Raster parade on the At
lantic City Hoard walk.
They moved in such Mow and rrfttilnr
procession that they seemed not to move
of their own volition, but to be carried
on tome moving plane, returning now
tnd again to the place they started
from.
From mld-mornlne till Rtinset the
procession kept up until tired eyes
could no longer cltsunguisn tne prony
tew-raws of the other woman's eowu
or the perfect hnrmohy of the other
man's Easter apparel; until the weary
men who pushed chairs were ready to
drop In their tracks and no fresh
"pushers" could be had.
And in all the masses of springtime
colors, material and modes who was
there to say which or what were Amer
ica's most alluring faihlons? One mo
ment the bystander swore soft grays
and orchids were the predominating
tones. The next she was certain of
blues, mostly dark and rich. Then there
were lushes of deep brown and hennn.
Now she was sure that soft, berufflcd.
embroidered or beaded gowns of richest
colors and softest materials were most.
popular. And again she knew that
plain tailored snort suits In lovely
prlng shadeM with hats of the same
material were Just the newest and most
appropriate. She could tnke her eholre
of big floppy hats or clove-fitting toque,
of long flowing capes, or stralght-llnel
coats, ot tnis material or that.
There were onlv a few nutntlnls she
could be certain of, the lengthlnpss of
we feminine waist line, the fineness and
splendor of women's hose, so conspicu
ous beneath short skirts. She felt that
the whole Oarden of Kden must have
been scoured and the bamboo forests de
nuded to Lrnlsh the blossoms and
canes, both of which were affected by
men and women alike. The only differ
ence seemed that the women's bouquets
were enormous and their cane.s light,
while the men wore small boutonnlcrcs
and carried heavy canes.
Men Go In for Fashion
Among the men she could see almost
as wide a variety as among the women.
Silk hats, derbies, soft felts and gay
sport caps were there with Prince Al
berts, neat street suits of serges or
tweeds, sport suits of conspicuous
checks, and riding togs of latest cut.
There were pearl gray spats and gloves,
with soft toned cravats and handker
chiefs to match. There were patent
leather, dull kid and brown boots ap
propriate to costume. There were pipes
and cigarette holders, cigarette cases,
canes and eyeglasses of rnre and inter
esting sorts. There were men who car
ried themselves well and those who
slumped behind their women f.V.fr There
were those who came t he (ron nnu
others who came to see.
Of courso, there was plenty to see and
fossip about. There was the fat woman
n the sumptuous gown of coral canton
crepe. There wns the vamp in danger
ously alluring and gay attire. There
were the few young women who dared
the March breezes and appeared on the
beach In bathing attire, but remained
out of the water. And another group of
eager girls who rode horseback in smart -looking
habits.
There was the bulldog. Busier, led by
George Bamberger, creating diversion.
Buster wore a gay satin coat of royal
purple and n wee stiff silk hat of the
same color, trimmed with valley lilies.
In his mouth he jauntily held a cigar
ette In nn amber holder.
Girl With a Pig
Miss Mabel Cooke, of Philadelphia,
appeared rarrylng a snow white pig
whom she called Percy.
Among the most conspicuous costume
worn bj women was n navy blue and
peacock blue combination. Hat, gown,
long cape, shoes and gloves all car
ried out the color scheme in a sort of
futuristic design. The hat was a large
dark blue straw with a peacock blue
ostrich plume across the back. The
cape, long and flowing, had its back
ground of the dark blue and the green,
blue appeared in unusual denign over
the shoulders and again nt the bottom.
There was a striking gray und white
channelise gown worn by an attractive
parader. Stripes, perhaps two inches
wide, ran round in skirt and blouse. A
dose-fitting graj toque with a touch of
rose 'hade and gray hose and pumps
completed the picture.
Quilted "oat are n new venture
There were evernl in evidence yester
day, all with shawl collars quilted in
diamond or oval figures, with long waist
lines, and quilting nlout the bottom of
the garment They remind one of
quilted Oriental robes.
Paneled Presses Popular
Paneled dlesses were extremely pop- '
nlnr. Some of tliem might make the
tmlnitlnted think milady s petticoat was
showing through accidentally unsewed
seams. If "nc did not Know tiint red
flannel petticoats Mere tabooed long
ago, she would have sworn something
wns wrong with one Mich gown It
lengthy waist was of navy blue serge
tailored beautifully When the wear'r
stood quirt a simply made skirt wns
seams bound with black silk braid was
nppurfnt. But when she walked the
ekirt separated in panels disclosing a
brilliant red tlnnncl underskirt.
There 'Wis a lovely deep brown duve.

The neck, sleeves nnd scolloped skirt
were bound with henna color Brown

One attractive dark-haired girl wnr"
t knitted sport suit and hat of orchid
silk. Then- were a number of knitted

latter were of angorn wool. Its long

of Philadelphia, attracted most atten

and tailored nulls, hut bernufe
they were dressed ollke.
Two OlrU In Blue
Their hatf. suits and scurf" were of
the same material, a light -moke-blue
wool. Tlie suits were made in the lines
that are newest nnd best, according to

midway between the knee and ankle,

REFUSES PAY RISE
Ploi3 for Higher Wage From 67
"Short Linos" Not Granted.
Former Scale Statfds
15 UNIONS MADE APPEAL
By the. Associated Press
Chicago. March 28. The l'nttcd
States Railroad labor board today dis
missed appeals for Increased woges filed
with It last fall by fifteen rrllwny labor
unions ngalnst sixty-seven "short
lines" throughout the country.
Short lines which accepted for thctr
men the terms of the $000,000,000 wage
nwnnl of last July will not be privi
leged to go bnck to the old scale, under
today's action, however, the announce
ment of the hoird saying:
"This decision shall not be considered
as affecting uny wage increase now in
effect nor any agreement regarding
wages between any of the carriers nnu
their employes."
The board decision affects approxi
mately dOOO employes. The railroads
involved are In genernl remote from
large cities ahd provide service for smnll
communities located In nenrlv cverv
Hate. Because of the vorylng Kinds of
work performed by the employee tne
board declared It found It "impractic
able to decide on the evidence submit
ted what arc reasonable wages for the
varying work under infinitely varying
conditions" by the. employes.
The decision points out that there are
under consideration by the board sev
eral hundred grievances which should be
determined by the boards of adjustments
If such boards were in existence. It also
pointed out the diverse kinds of work
done by the employes was unclassified
und. therefore, that tt actually wns
impossible to understate the need for
standardization of rules Upon which '.o
base n wage award.
A general rules and working hearing
nffectlng the trunk lines of the country
is before the board. No set of rules,
however, has ever been applied uni
formly to the short lines. The board de
clared it was "Impracticable to deter
mine what reasonable rules shall bo In
effect on the short lines until the ques
tion of reasonable rules and working
conditions on the standard railroads has
been disposed of."
Representatives of the carriers and
the employers arc still given the right
to confer as to wages and working con
ditions under the board's decision.

MRS. FROST GETS DIVORCE
FROM JERSEY MILLIONAIRE
Wife of Sub Builder Gets Docree In
Nevada
Heno, March 2fi. Rosalind Harring
ton Frost, thlrty-yenr-old wife of Bllhu
B. Frost, millionaire submarine builder
of Jersey City, received a divorce decree
here Saturday.
Frost, twice his wife's age, sued her
in New Jersey last January, naming
George H. Hassan aR co-respondenl.
Mrs. Frost, then in Heno, Interposed
a defense ablaic with sensational
charges. Frost quit the fight and the
eastern litigation wns dismissed.
On Mnrch 1 Mrs. Frost petitioned
for divorce in the local court. She said
she was married In Newark on June
1f, 1015, and virtually from the time
of their marriage Frost practiced fre
quent cruelties on ncr.
The complaint bristles with charges
Involving other women. It says he
called her vile names and falsely ac
cused her of misconduct with other
men : also that he bonsted he could
support the handsomest blonde in New
York on $10,000 a year.
The affidavit filed in blocking Frost's
New Jersey suit characterised the boat
builder as a "fiend Incarnate."
He is alleged to have said he would
have the Legislature pass n bill per
mitting a man with money to have as
many women as he could support, pro
vided he would deposit with the state
$100,000 for each woman.
In the New Jersey suit Mrs, Frost
was awarded $i-00 a week alimony and
$25,000 attorney fees. No mention of
financial affairs was made in court here
yesterday.
The Frosts b.J three homes in the
East in New York city, In Atlantic

DR. WADSW0RTK, JR., TALKS
"Atrophied consciences' and "wo-

of the people of the preaent day, said
the ilev. Dr. unanea waasworw, or.,

nominations today In the T. M O. A.,
Arrh otreet near Broad.
Dr. Wadsworth .sharplr erltieiteo
Jihases of modern life, attacked modern
aiz, dancing, and what, he said, la an
almost nosoiuie ncgicct to wommp um.
The speaker In chaplain genernl of
the Society of tha Cincinnati, an or
ganttatlon composed of descendants' of
officers of the Revolutionary War. He
la a Tale graduate and for eventccn
years was pastor of the North Broad
Street Presbyterian Church, He for
merly was president of the board of
education of the Presbyterian Church,
and taste of the present," he aald.
"Charlie Chaplin typifies the spirit
"The people of today have atrophied
consciences, moving picture brains and
vulgarized tastes.
"It is difficult for the pastor to make
an Impression upon them. Speaking
words of wisdom to them la like casting
pearls before awlne. Their mental
power haa deteriorated. The moving
picture brain of the people Is Incapable
of retaining Impressions overnight.
"Careful reasoning Is held down by
the mob spirit which regards lta pen
sions as visions and it freedom aa
Ideals. The sense of moral responsibil
ity Is lacking today.
"Recently," he continue "a man
employed In a bank robbed the bank.
The judge refused to give him a trial,
saying that the directors of the bank
were the real criminals tor paying htm
such a small salary while entrusting
him with such heavy responsibility.
This Illustrates the deterioration of our
moral sense."
In attacking departure from "old
time rellr1on.,r Dr. Wadsworth said:
"Compared to the spiritualistic
seancea of today with their dribbling
messages, the Witch of Endor was a
reputable person In the exercise of a
dignified calling."
"Jaii," he continued, "is the
heavenly chorus dragged into bedlam.
Compare a" Beethoven symphony with
the distorted sounds ot a jasx band.
Compare the comic pictures in our press
with the works ot art of the, old mas
ters. Compare the stately minuet with
the toddle, the sermon of Henry Ward
Peecher with the cheap slang of the
evangelist wher.e even the soul Is vul
garised. "Mammon ha even invaded tbe
sanctuary. There are millions in whom
worship seem atrophied. When, a
thousand year ago, ten lepers were
cleansed, only one returned to worship
the Master. In other word, only ten
per cent of the people of that day wor
shiped the Lord.
"Out Of. ten persons today only one
tenth of a man worshltw God only a
finger or toe can be observed creeping
up the road to worship it Creator.""

Entrenching at Ekl-8hehr
Athen. March 28. (By A. P.)
Anun-Karahlsaar, an important rail
way Junction south of Eskl-Bhehr, ha
been taken by Greek forces from the
Turkish Nationalist, say a Smyrna
dispatch to the newspaper Nea Ellas.
Many prisoners and large quantities ot
war material have been captured, the
dispatch declares, and the Turks are
fleeing toward Kiutayab, about fifty
miles northward.
An official statement giving details of
Saturday's fighting says that the army
east of Smyrna occupied a line running
through the villages ot Chesne, Chaha
bal and Balmacbraid and pursued tbe
Turks to within approximately four
miles ot Aflun-Karahlssar, where tbe
attack halted for the night. It, Is said
the Greek losses have been Insignificant.
The Greeks east of Brusa have ad
vanced as far a the line drawn through
the village of BaxarjIV Klurtlk,
Guezll, Crete, north of tutrhut. These
towns are northwest of KsVt-Shebr, and
the statement seems to indicate that
tbe Turks are entrenching themselves

In White's Auditorium, Fifteenth .street

antiquated system of prison manage

and nothing more than autocracy.
"The present system of Imprisonment
tends to create nown a man dow pny

should punish a man, but we shouldn't
ruin him. The way that we can rcf6rra
the criminal In to sympathize with

New Torit, March 2A -Rene Vivlanl,
former premier of -France, now nn
envoy extraordinary . to this country
on a mission aa yet undisclosed, will r
rive here today on the French liner La
Lorraine.
The French statesman will be brought
ashore by hi personal representative,
Marcel Knecht. and Ernest Greenwood,
the representative of the American labor
office of the League of Nation, who
will take him on a cutter to Pier A.
where he is expected to land about 1 :30
p. m. He will be greeted there on be
half of the city by Grover A. Whnlen,

The narty will then to to the Van
dtrbilt Hotel, where the envoy will
remain Until tomorrow, when he will
go to Washington. On Wednesday
afternoon he will meet President Hard-
The envoy extraordinary haa power
equal to but not superior to Ambassa
dor Justerand's. Though the exact pur
pose of his visit has not been stated,
tbe purpose has generally been reported
to be to seek President Harding' views
as to the manner in which the existing
League ot Nation may be modified or
reconstructed in a way acceptable to
and to the Senate. It bas been sug
gested and denied that the envoy haa
been Rent hero to discuss the French
debt to America.
According to some accounts, the
French statesman Is to assure Presi
dent Harding of the readiness of the
great power now in the League to drop
Article X and otherwise shape the
league in such a way aft to make it
more attractive to the President and the
Ttenuhllcan leaders.
Marnl Knecht said yesterday that
the envoy woum nave very nme to
say before his Interview with the Presi
dent on Wednesday.
"After that I think be will be ready
to discuss his mission and other ques
tions with the pros. Ot cour, he may
be seen tomorrow, but from what I un
derstand of his Instructions, it I in
tended that the nature of hi visit should
not be discussed publicly by him before
bis talk witb rresmeni Harding.''
FOG HOLDS UP LINERS
Btaten Island Ferryboat Damaged In
Craah With Tanker
New York, Mrch 28. Fog barred
the hrbor gates early yesterday and
held outside the Hook a fleet ot passen
ger carriers and freighters that feared
to venture through the murk until after
noon. Among the liners thnt were
forced to anchorage were the Noordam,
from Rotterdam, and the Laptand, from
Antwerp. The fog was densest In the
early morning hour and the long
distance ferryboat had tn grope for
their slips, making some close shave in
their erratic courses.
The Staten Island ferryboat Queen,
while poking blindly on her 6 :80 a. m.
trip from the foot of Whitehall treet
to St. George, collided with the Nor
wegian Unk steamship Breifond,
swinging at anchor off Liberty island,
and was forced to lay up for repair
that m7 cost 130,000. About 160 pas
sengers aboard the ferryboat, including
several women, were startled by the
ripping out of 100 feet ot the joiner
work of the men's cabin and the smash
ing ot windows, but none was injured.
