WEDNESDAY. JULY 17. 1912. Girl One of Daring Swimmers Who Has Made the ‘Stunt’ Popular. Another sport has been added to the various delights in the waters of Pied mont park lake. and. according to pai - ticipants who have to Conex — -r Island and other famous resorts, there is nothing as thrilling as Piedmont's own sport, The new game is <’all*d “riding the barrel" and one attempt at it can cause more thrills and screams of laughter than a day spent on tne "shoot-the chut.es," "the Hawaiian water wheel." “the slide for life." or any other of the more complicated "thrillers" for which you have to pay out good money at some resorts. One particular feature, too, is the safety of the new game. Women and girls and the ever pres ent small boy go In for the fascinating game more than me do. though tne male element at the lake is not above participating in the sport. Like Riding a B-oncho, The sport was started when a large water-tight keg. about half the size of an ordinary flour barrel, was placed in the swimming pool. On the surface of the pool the barrel bobs serenely up and down and shows little of the tricks which it really has. The least motion will cause it to bounce off the surface of the water like a thing of life. The game is for the swimmer to mount the barrel and stay astride it. No one has yet done it. but thousands have made the attempt and had th* fun of their lives in the game, while those on the banks shouted encourage ment and laughed at the ludicrous poses which resulted. Riding a barrel on the jyater is some what akin tn the Western art of riding a bucking broncho, the only difference being that the broncho is limited in what he does, while the barrel ap parently is not. Always the Unexpected. The pretty girl who takes a firm hold hold of the ends of the wooden keg and attempts to leap astride it can toll nothing of what will happen, except that she is going tn tumble into th* water in a few seconds and in some way. Right there is where the wizard of the brainless things gets in Its work. According to several theories over which scientists have labored long, the barrel should sink beneath the weight of its rider It may do that: some times it does. But the barrel is cylin drical In shape and tapers slightly to ward Its ends It does not do what it is expected to do. One time it mat tweak all natural law'- and rise higher tn the water: another time it will go to one side nr the other and these move ments are executed with lightning rap idity and accompanied by a rolling movement, the result of revolving on its own axis. Then again it keeps its position In th* water and merely re volves on its axis Whatever happens the rider goes plunging, head or feet foremost, into the water. There are Just about 1.000 other things this barrel can do, and it never does the same thing in succession," says Miss Bessie .Waits. a pretty' girl of eighteen, who leaves her home a* 04 Hill street every day and comes to tht lake fps a swim. Miss Walty is one of the most daring of th* girls who have made rhe sport popular. ENGLAND REVIVESI ’‘BLOOMER'’ PLAY Three of London's Fairest Footlight Favorites to Wear “Trouscrettes.” LONDON. July 17. — "The . Amazons.” twenty years old in its plot, its char acterization. and its humor, threatens to be the theatrical success of the sea son. and every one is asking why. The answer is “bloomers." The tree fairest actresses in. Lon don. Miss F’hyllis Neilson-Terry, Miss Marie Lohr and Miss Pauline Phase, would be an irresistible attraction any how. Hut in b|oomers "Bloomers" is not really th® word for them, though. At the very least, they ate supet-bloomers. To begin with. Mis-' Neilson-1 erry s shooting suit is all of russet-brown. The bloomers are not bloomers at all. but smart semi-tiding breeches, tight at the knee, spreading wide above, and creased down the sides. Miss Chase >n Breeches, Miss Phase, when she appears ready for a morning's fishing, wears setni rttling breeches and coat of forest green. In the next scene, however, she retreats tn a semi-bloomer, creased at the sides, but falling loose below the knee. But the sartorial surprise <sf the even ing is supplied by Miss Lohr v hen she hops over a gate in a white outfit that the smartest polo team could not im prove on. Her widespread riding breeches which were cut in Maddox street, are the last word in the tailor's art. "The thing I love about my tweed suit is the pockets." Miss Marie Lohr confided, "Look here. Two. four, six eight, nine." All Are Enthusiastic. Miss Neilson-Terry is equally enthu siastic. "You hardly believe how 1 omfort ably my suit is." she said. "1 would not have liked the old bloomers of twenty years ago at all. They were dress makers’ things, and so shapeless and ugly, if the pictures are to be trusted. But these are made by men's tailors, and I can’t tell you how much I like them." Miss Pauline Chase is not only in love with bloomers; she has evolved a theory about them. "My idea is." she said, "that if the bloomers of twenty years ago had been as nice as these, thef* wouldn’t have ' been any suffragists." NAME OF WOMAN IN WRECK PROBE SAME AS THAT OF LUNATIC CHICAGO. July 17. —Investigators of the wreck of the Denver Limited on the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy rail road at Western Springs Sunday have today discovered a strange coincidence which may have a bearing on the probe. Mrs. F. A.

Major John Brown Scarratt will treat Colonel Edward Constitution Brttffy to such a wheelbarrow ride around and about the streets of Atlan ta as never has been seen in these parts. Major Scarratt and Colonel -Bruffy are ancient enemies in the election bet ting business. Once upon a time —this is no fairy tale —the major won a hat from the colonel. That was when Harrison- was elected president not Tippecanoe Har rison (the idea!—this thing happened when John and Ed were 21, and not before the Mexican wart!

The committee came down hard on the proposition, argued for three long hours, to make a new county of a slice of Berrien and to call it Cook county, in honor of the secretary of state. It also throttled another proposal to m ike a new county of several slices of Ap pling. Ware and Coffee, and to call it Aiken. There were two delegations on hand from Berrien, one urged the new coun ty of Cook. The other advised against it. When it. came to a vote, the new county men lost out 11 to 2. The bill will he reported adversely, and can not hope to pass. The Aiken county proposal hardly got a look-in on the committee.

W Tindall, chief county proba tion officer, seeks strict laws regard ing the public conduct of children. He began today a. plan to obtain a curfew law and to effect a newsboys’ organi zation. "I am going to try to have both the laws put into effect.” said Mr. Tinclall. "We need a curfew rule in Atlanta probably more than any other thing concerned with children The news hop association might be made to co operate with officers In enforcement of the law and would certainly benefit the young boys now roaming the streets at night." Mr. Tindall's plan is to have the newsboys organized Into a club, and to get an order from city officials that no boy not a member of the club be al lowed to sell newspapers on the streets The cut-few- law is planned along lines followed in other cities. "By the two laws we would be able to prevent a. great deal of minor lawless ness by newsboys and could, also keep children from running on the streets at night unless they have written per mission from their parents.” said Mr. Tindall. 3
