Grandmother’s Bathing-Suit Barred
As Peril to Feminine Swimmer
On the left we eee • 1929 bathing suit that is the
essence of comfort and, well, safety. Above, are four
ef the cute little tricks that this season has brought.

suits that were ccnaidered very, very daring in years

Lifeguard Recommends
One-Piece Bathing Suit
for Comfort and Safety
IN DIRECT contradiction to
the usual modern edict,
the old-fashioned bathing
suit of knee and elbow length
flannel, with pantalette bloom
ers, was barred for the season
from the Wildwood Gables
bathing beach of Wildwood,
N. J., by a ruling of the cap
tain of the life guards there.
Captain Dykes said he had noth
ing against the vintage of 1890
bathing suits, except that they
hinder swimming and make It dan
gerous for the wearer to go Into the
surf.
He Is also forbidding the old
fashioned straw hats, fastened
under the chin with tape, now
used chiefly to protect horses from
the hot sun, because they prevent
the swimmer from realizing when
she Is getting out too far.
Of course, the Captain didn't go
into the subject of what would be
barred In the way of the 1929 fash
ion, but here's hoping our young
friends won’t carry his Instructions
so far as to go to the other extreme.
Take the backless suit, for in
stance. Or leave It—Just as you
choose. But whichever way you
look at It It's the very latest In
swimming suits, and you’ll cer
tainly have to admit that It doesn’t
hinder the wearer In the surf.
Up to this time the backless nif
ties have only been exhibited at the
exclusive beaches and worn by only
those who can afford to swim In the
winter time, at the Florida beaches,
the Lido, and on California sanda.
But now that swimming time is
near at hand and tha public
beaches are opening to tha common
folk. It’ll probably Just be a ques
tion of time before the Vice Squad
casta Its pure but all-seeing sye on
the uncovered expanses, and, after
that, who knows?
Human Fledgelings.
From Minneapolis Journal.
We spent an interesting half hour
the other day watching a young
robin and his mother. The young
ster was bigger than the parent
bird. One knew him for a fledgling
by his somewhat formless bulk, his
scraggy plumage, and, of course,
bv the*thrush-markings on his mot
tled breast. He certainly appeared
husky enough to take care of him
self When a sudden movement
startled the pair, his flight to a
neighboring tree was as strong as

over the lawn, cheeping plaintively
for food. She hunted industriously,
and whenever she found a luscious
tidbit she popped it into his open
teak. Occasionally he would imi
tate her methods of search, but ev
idently it did little good. He was

week or so he would be entirely in

Review of Reviews.
In many cases where American
interest control Canadian enter
prises they leave the management
to the Canadians. Imperial Oil. a
3600.000,000 enterprise dominating
the gasoline situation in Can

of New Jersey but has not a single
American director.

One could not help philosophizing
a bit on the relation of parents and
children in the human world. This
month of June, thousands of
youngsters have been pushed out of
the nest to try their wings and be
gin their fumbling flight in the
great world. They are husky and
active and independent. They look
perfectly competent to take care of
themselves. Mother frets and dad
grows profane when, after one at
tempt iind another, they keep com
ing back for a new start. Long af
ter we expect them to be wholy in
dependent, we discover that they
take it for granted that they can
count on room and board in the in
tervals of a job, or an occasional
check to eke out their earnings. We
grow impatient, and cry out at tie.
lack of responsibility and self-'
reliance of the present generation.
But, after all, they are only fledg
sible for its development from a
small carriage factory, entirely
owned in Canada. Its rise has syn
chronized with the growth of the
American company.
Similarly Ford Motors of Canada
may be regarded as a Canadian
built industry. At one time it was
controlled in Canada. Its Canadian
founder was making a success of it
at the time when Henry Ford was
too busy to think much of markets
other than the United States. Now
the company Is American control
led but Canadian managed.
This listing of home directed in
dustries might be continued at some
length, ana It would make an im
pressive showing of Canada's ‘nftis
lings. Perhaps our mouths wer«
open for parental tidbits longer
than we think. It is true that condi
tions a generation ago were such as
to instill a sense of responsibility
and independence somewhat earlier
than at present. But youth faces
an unknown world. As civilization
grows more complex, it becomes
even harder than formerly to secure
a foothold. Our responsibility has
not ceased, when we have given the
children an education and turned
them loose. We must not be too
impatient, when we find them fum
bling the ball. We must give them
time. They will learn. Life will
take them in hand and supply the
needed discipline. But long after
they are full grown and have every
appearance of maturity, they are
still children, and will look to those
that brought them into the world
without asking their permission, to
see to it that they get a fair start
and a measure of practical support.
