MODERN
BATHING GIRL
IS RIGHT
From MONTAGUE SMITH
Bournemouth, Apr. 10. SCIENTIFIC approval of the costume of the modern bathing girl was given here this week-end at the conference of the Bri- tish Health Resorts Association, when Pro- fessor Kestner, of the Rowett Institute, Aberdeen, described the results of recent experiments in the curative effects of sea air.
Briefly, his conclusions were that the more you take off the better you are.
Professor Kesiner was formerly Professor of Physiology at the University of
of Hamburg, and with German scientists he has been study- ing the effects of sen env

LONDON'S HEALTH
As the result of the stimuli of the aca, sun, cold air, and cold water, the capillaries of the skin learn how to regulate themselves to changes of temperature, and children can bathe in the sea and play unclothed in the open air, even in winter, without a decrease in body temperature.

Millionaire In Modern
Palestine
Jerusalem, Apr. 1.
TWENTY-SIX-YEAR-OLD bank clerk in Tel Aviv will be Palestine's first millionaire if his claim to the fortune of Jacob Bergman, former Director of the Jewish Colonisation Association, is admitted by the Jaffa Court.
Mirlam Hochberg testified in the Supreme Court in Jerusalem last week that her son Henri was Bergman's illegitimate child. She had met his father, she said, while in Cyprus with her late sister, then Bergman's wife, when she was sixteen years old.
Witnesses are to be called from Cyprus. Bergman was a merchant in Paris, and the French Government are disputing Henrl's claim.

I grabbed the knife in astonish- ment, and picked it up. The fork, stuck to the knife blade aa if by magic, came up with it.
The waller leaned over, and topped me on the wrist,
