COURT LIFTS BAN
ON WOMEN S HATS
Fair Berliners Can Wear Mil
linery at the Theater. Despite
Protests of Managers.
BERLIN, lune 12. The decision of
the highest tribunal abrogating Police
President VonJagbw'a edict against tin:
wearing of hats by women tn the thea
ter is regarded by male and female
theater visitors with d Iff (tent feelings.
Last August VonJagow Issued orders
that any director permitting women to
wear their hats in the boxes or stalls
of his theater should pay a fine of $25
for each offense.
The directors appealed to the minis
tei of the interior, who -laved the or
der until the highest court had decided
on It. From the mere male point of
view there were excellent reasons for
the edict. Legally, however, the tliea
ter directors are In the right. The law
is that police orde s ate only sustain
able when upsetting them would cause
injury to the community
Such a contention could hardly be
maintained in >hc present case. v« one
director said the police might as well
forbid people with unusually long
bodies from going to the theater, and
quoted the example of a friend whom
those behind shouted at to "sit down”
until he rose from his seat and showed
that he had been sitting all the time.
Th<» fait Berliner is naturally pleased
by the abrogation of the order, for she
will not have to go through the com
plicated process of fixing on her hut
again after the preform.! net.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. J I ,\ E 12. 1912.
Experts Show Way to Pull
Drowning Person From
the Water.
The safe method of drawing a person
aboard a rescuing boat is shown in the
accompanying illustration.
Recurrences of the two fatal acci
dents at Piedmont park may be pre
vented. almost invariably, if the res
cuers in the boat which hurries to the
aid of the victims will maneuver so
that the rescue can be made from the
stein.
The -eseuer should stand near the
stern of the skiff and grasp the victim
so that he may be drawn aboard so
closely to the broad end that his weight.:
will not tip the bpat, and thus pra-
' clpitatc a second accident.
If there ate two victims floundering
In the waler, both, should be forced lo
clutch the craft as near as possible to
Hie stern. Thus, the boat will be bal
anced until both victims can be drawn
aboard.
The illustration is posed for The
Georgian by Miss Vera Thomas, of At
lanta. a skilled swimmer. Tile picture
shows the weight of three persons on
tlie sl'crn ami the craft fully maintain
ing its equilibrium.
