Summer Girls Compel
Life Guards to Watch
Hour Longer at Surf
Atlantic City.—Summer girls have
refused to abide by the "daylight
saving"' hours for bathing while the
sun remains high in the heavens and
officials have surrendered to de
mands that life guards be kept on
for an hour 1 later each day. Meal
hours and other summer activities
of the resort are strictly regulated
by the new time rather than by the
sun, and as the life guards are al
lowed to report later in the morn
ings the new plan is giving general
satisfaction.
' | Would-be patrons in bathing suits
•|are to be curtly refused any sort of
j drinks in the saloons and cafes of

among the bathers. Also the new
law is aimed to prevent securing
liquor by soldiers and sailors of the
fighting forces who might seek to
liquidate while they are out of uni
form and in surf rigs.
All June records for the number of
bathers were topped last week, when
over 100,000 entered the surf for

macker, speaking for the crowd, in
formed the patrolman that they did
not Intend to do so. At this period
Winn attempted to place Hammacker
under arrest. The rowdies resenting
this move wrenched the patrolman's,
mace from his hand and proceeded
to use it on its owner.
After some difficulty Patrolman
Winn succeeded in placing Archie
Hammacker and Edward Dailey un
der arrest. He took the pair to
the borough lockup and returned to
the West Side, where he found Mil
ler. He then placed him in the lock
up. George Dailey was arrested by

Many at Capitol. The "plain
people" of Pennsylvania, as mem
bers of the Church of the Brethren
style themselves, have certainly
shown their interest in the State Capi
tol this week as the register of the
guides shows. The Brethren have
been thronging the corridors of the
f'apitol and have not missed much
in the way of the attractions of the
building. It is one of the pecular
ities of this sect that when there is
any gathering in this section, such as
the annual conferences which have
been held frequently at Paxtang or
Hershey, that they make a point
of visiting the Capitol. While hav
ing opinions against public office
they are greatly interested in public
buildings.
Good Fishing. —Commissioner of
Fisheries, Nathan R. Buller, who
has been surveying the results of
the planting of bass in the streams
of the state says that there should
be excellent bass fishing this year,
the first under the new fish code in
Pennsylvania. The season will be
gin on July 1 and fish wardens say
that there are plenty of bass in the
streams in the central section. Under
the new regulations there are
changes in the catch. For instance
only twelve black bass may be taken
when the season opens and 25 of the
rock, white, strawberry, calico and
other varieties and 25 is also the
limit of the wall-eyed pike or Sus
quehanna salmon. The frog season,
which starts July 2, will also be
governed by rules. The commis
sioner does not anticipate any
trouble with the new regulations
and says that while there have been
numerous arrests for illegal trout
fishing they have been palpable vio
lations and the letter to wardens
to be sure that more than 25 legal
fish have been taken in a day before
making arrests has had a good ef
fect.
