THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 137 4MB f Ocean City's First Annual Water CarnivaL I ; Ocean City's First Annual Water Carnival is a thing of the past. | Despite the sullen moot! ol<t Jupiter I'luvia saw fit to assume in the afternoon. more saturinc than funny, the event proved a triumph worthy oi being regarded as a precident on which to improve in future years. In referring to Saturday'* brilliant spectacle as our "First Annual Viator i Arnivnl" no rellcction is intended upon the Night in Venice of many years ago. Doubtless they were spectacular in the highest degree. Old timers — measured by the number of years resident in the , city of course— were heard to declare that Saturday's pageant was scarcely an apology for the "Night in Venice." Be that as it may, it might pot bo wise policy upon their pun to stress the point over much; there may Ik some who believe with Oliver Wendell Holmes, that when a man begins to orate eloquently upon the "Glorious things of th, good ..Id days" it Is an unfaliihle sign of senility ami dotage. t Doubtless the Night in Venice surpassed anything possible at the 1 present time in the number of boats which participated in the parade. ] The conn ;tlee in charge of this year's event are not to be held responutile I'oi mat. If people no longer own boats they cannot sail them. All honor ;o the men — some of whom are no longer with us except in f memory- > no were responsible for the Night in Venice of by gone ' day. in, . wrought well, and probably it is to our shame that their'} work was not perpetuated, und the water pageant developed by this , time into .. nation-famous annual institution. Wo refer therefor* to ' Saturday Carnival us the First Annual, only in the sense that there ' appear - t. e u strong and unive/sal tlisposition to make for time for- \ i ward an annual civic enterprise. ! la inu.iy respects however Saturday's I'ugeant was a pleasing and ] refreshing . .utnge from the bathing revue which uppears to lurvc be- ] •come the i-gue on the Atlantic coast. The p . die is being fed up to nuusea with the female pulchritude. ' Then- i'pears to be a suspicion growing in the mind of the public ] that "Naln o unadorned." ami "the naked truth of beauty" was not i iatcmlei: public display; tluit the craze is distinctly retrograde, harking ba. k to iiula skirt, the skin girille, and the fig leaf. ] En pa out, an eminent German theologian has passed the theory • : that the fig ieuf of Eden came from a species of tropical palms, whose ■ hau gro.. to u size measuring from four to six feet in length and from three .. four feet in width. If the theory can be uccepted then: our anccstiai mother's kitchen apron would have clothed a dozen of her daughk < whto feature in the Bathing Beauty Revues. lliii furthermore, if the pronouncement of a university professor of psychology is trustworthy, it follows that the vogue of the Bathing Beau;;. i> ... t accomplishing the end for which ostensibly it has been developed. Nothing like a parade of beauties robed in garments designed to u veal what they are intended to conceal, and to emphasize, what tl )ty aie intended to disguise, to nttract young blood, so we are jnfonfted. And, to lie absolutely sincere, so we believed. Now however comes this provoking psychologist who declares his investigations have led him l>. the conclusion that the most anient and enthusiastic patrons of th.- bathing beauty revue, are not the young of the male gender, hut lather those of the sex who crossed the frontiers of middle, age, ami mo inclined to the cultivation of superllous adipose and' creaking joints. To the contrary, the bathing beauty in Saturday's festivities was ] found in In- proper place, participating in the acquutic sports of the afternoon. Later in the evening she reappeared with more on. Diving' ] and swimming in clinging abbrevations she looked charming; in evening attire, she maintained her dignity ami charm unimpared. The ci inmittee in charge of selecting costumes for the Queen and j ; her court are to be highly commended, it was a spectacular and: I artistic presentation, and as stated was a most pleasing departure! ! from the vogue which lias its appeal to the voluptory lurking in every ; human bosom rather than the sense of beauty in place and perspective. By and large the Bay Carnival of Saturday last provides an ex- ! ceilent foundation upon which to build an annual institution, which cannot fail to iiecorae as famous as the pageant of Atlantic City. It must not be forgotten however that the Bayside Civic Association I pioneered the movement with last season's carnival, nor should they j :« deprived of their just honors. Now however comes the welcome news that the future of Ocean City's Bay Carnival is assure. I. Saturday's triumph has fired tho im-| sgination of our public leaders to the extent that they are discussing the advisability of making the Carnival a municipal enterprise, financed in part at least out of the public treasury. The whisper pasres around that the city administrators are considering favorably the Inclusion in the next year's budget a sum of money to he ilevoted to the development of the Carnival. The advisability of appointing committees forthwith, and begin immediately to prepare for next year's event is seriously considered, j Evidently the wonderful possibilities awaiting capitalization in the '.lea has dawned upon them as probably never before. It Is to l>c devoutly hoped that the rumor will be weM founded. The city could not commit itself to a wiser policy, or a more profitable Plnn- In staging a water pagenat and carnival, Ocean City has no reason to fear competition from any resort on the coast, it may be made an annual event distinctive of Ocean City, and developed to such kn talent that it will rank equal in importance with other institutions, for which other resorts have become internationally known. Furthermore it would 'be everlastingly to our discredit, if the carnival is allowed to drag through the years a subject of charity. ( It w ,uld I* a grave injustice upon the few who are being constantly solicited. All l«nefit in due proportion from any and every movement | •hicli tends to advertise the resort, and increase the number of visitors sod patrons. Much has been said dispargingly of the one day visitor and tripper, j in tho last analysis a large proportion of the resort's patrons, are re- ! cruite.1 from the ranks of one day trippers. They must come to be! conquered and won. They will come when the city provides the induce•sent. Consequently since all benefit, all ahouid bear their share in the ; ttpeiLse entailed, and no fairer or equitable plan could be devised j jk"i that of making a substantial appropriation toward# the carnival " the budget. I Here however another suggestion has come rto us which may be . torthy of serious consideration. Should the hint meet with approval, *'d 1* found practical, now is the opportune time to make it known, j It is no secret that any form of public entertainment that tends j lur« "*op!e away front the Boardwalkjnvariahly meets with thej fronts and opposition of the merchants and proprietors of places] 0 amusement located there. This is no more than natural after all. i *reir season at best is of short duration; inclement weather for some , y>e during the season may spell bankruptcy. Furthermore, if in order k accommodate commuters and week end visitors it is decided to hold & carnival on a Saturday, the Boardwalk caterers to public enterbnmont are robbed of one of their best harvesting days. Evidently the authorities of Atlantic City have sensed the situmaccurately; consequently the pageant is held almost exclusively on Boardwalk. Even if the carnival in future year* is supported by appropriation out of the pabHe funds, either directly or indirectly. If development will be slow unless supported also by public subscrip-j jjn; consequently little could be said to the Boardwalk merchant it *" or she shows little inclination to genelfcsity towards the staging of. *«ries of festivities which must rob them of one of their best days "'business. ^ I r i

N'or will it tend to promote harmony and co-operation between the 1 | city in general, and the Boardwalk people, if the impression is created ; that the city is indifferent to the latters claims for consideration. } In view of this therefore the suggestion is made that hi future ar» | • rnngemenU should he made to have the greater portion of the wen-] iiu-'s program of festivities take pluce on the beach. How this cdfjl.l j U' arranged is a subject for careful delilieration. The underlying mo- . ] will commend itsoif ti every fair minded person, if possible ami < ' practicable. ! t It is certain that if some such arrangement were made, the Board- j walk personnel! would enter into the scheme with enthusiasm and : j abandon, and decorate the entire 'walk from the Flanders to Fourth t street with a (daze of illumination and elaborate decoration- j ' The Boardwalk would furthermore permit ten times ns many people to witness and enjoy the carnival, than can l>e accommodated on I ' the lay front.

The annual concert and dance of ; the Ocean City Fishing Club, held] , quite recently in the Ho- u tel Klamlcrs, was in every respect I a triumph of execi ih .* skill anil I r The spacious ballroom was fill-;1 i 'ed by a company of appreciative; h , music lovers. An improvised stu-j } i ge for the artists had been beau-!'1 lifiilly decorated with a profusion ' • o-- palms and flowers. ■ Musically the concert was the I . outstanding feature of the season's! 1 activities .

productions*. | Mrs Dorothy Johnstone Baseler at the iiarp maintained unimpareil ' • fame as a harpist.

In , j duet with the violin, I)' Am-j ] hrbso's famous Canzonet ta, Mrs. i I lluseler's mastery of her instru- 1 | ment was most wonderfully ciis-. ; .! played.

B-«. W More for , : Your Money Swapping things — as when our grandmothers traded eggs g for calico at the cross-roads store — gives a better understanding of e values. By measuring one thing against another we too can often I judge values more clearly. Coal and wages make up more than half the manufacturing cost of cement. The chart above shows price Jj fluctuations for portland cement, coal and wages during the past ten years. In each case 100 is used ! to represent 1913 figures, by the > Government departments which compiled these statistics. Translated into "eggs and calico" language, this chart shows that a ton o{ ^ coal would buy nearly twice as much ^ cement in 1922 as in 1913. A day's wages e also would buy more cement in 1922 d than in 1913- i ^ Thi9 means that even though coal and wages make up more than half its manu1, facturing cost, cement is now relatively 1. lower in price than either coal or wages. e j So, considering these increased costs, s j it is plain that in buying cement you get I- ; more for your money than before. 1 PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 111 West Washington Street CHICAGO c-f National Organization ^ to Imprort and Extend the Uses of Concrete ■ ■ ■■ (maCn NcwYcwt s— E I I I ^ Will I.D.C * — — — — — — — —— — — J
