JUAN LES PINS, Prance. (UP) This beach resort, famous for un f dress, is more undressed than ever this year. . . Last season a regulation brassiere in addition to trunks was worn. This season a carelessly tied hankie substi tutes for the brassiere, and a flimsy loin cloth for the trunks. Most ev everyone sheds the hankie while sun sing on the beach. The young generation did not start the fad. The old generation did. But the young crowd quickly adopted It. Today the beach looks like a version of the Garden of Eden. The girls even paint their lips differently. The lipstick line has jotten. to be a circle. Pouting inge nue Hps being the effect desired. If you can make your lips look like a red, red heart, you are a success, Styles In gigolos also have ohang-' ed. Last summer the gigolo had to look like a double for Clark Gable. Not so now.

Reservoir lakes, upon which It de pends for its life blood, contain bil lion of gallons less water than a year ago. Tributary streams already are mere trickles through the parch ed northwest. Continued drought will sea record low marks established along the Mississippi this summer, government engineers predict. The river is dis charging but 3,900 cubic feet of water per second at St. Paul, compared to normal discharge for this period from 5,000 to 8.000 oublo feet. Engineers explained thst the Has tings dsm held the level fairly steady here so far, but, below the new dams, the Winona station reported the level four feet lower than that of a year ago. At Winona the flow Is 11,000 sec ond feet, compared to 25,000 a year ago. I. Years of drought have drained the ' (round of waters to a low level. Mod erate rains, therefore, would have lit tle effect on the river levels, engin eers ssld. Six headwater reservoirs today con tained 4,338 million leas cubic feet of water than a year ago.

SAFETY CAMPAIGN OLD STUFF IN 1808 PHILADELPHIA (UP) Safety first campaigns did not start with the ad vent of the automobile. They were old stuff la 1008, as revealed In one of a collection of children's books recently exhibited here. The old book published In that year contains a number of "caution ary stories In Terse. One example was: "Miss Helen was always too giddy to heed What her mother had told her to shun, For frequently over the street In full speed She would cross where the car riages run." The moral, of course, was reached in the final verse when the young lady who disobeyed hor mother was struck by one of the many carriages. EAGLES DUEL ALL DAY ASTORIA, Ore. (UP) An areal battle to the death of two male bald eagles for possession of a mate was witnessed by residents of the Youngs Bay district near hers. Participants were a veteran, who had lived there with hi, mate for more than ten years and a young freebooter who cast covetous eyes on the female bird. The eagles fought for almost an entire day, separating, then charging- together. Occasionally tufts of bloody feathers drifted down. At dawn the neat day they continued but the old bird was weaker. Final ly he plunged to the earth, dead. The conqueror took possession of the nest, the female apparently ac cepting the change as a matter of course, P.O. SPy GALLERIES 1 KANSAS CITT, Mo.
