Atlantic City, Aug 10.— (UP)—
A series of tremendous waves
struck the beach at Atlantic City
to-day and the terrific undertow
carried 40 bathers to sea.

about f.O persons.
Frank Carr, 04, of Washington,

brought in but he was dead when
rescusltatlon work started. Several
others rescued from the tremend

jured seriously.
The series of waves, starting
with, one described as being eight
feet high, struck in the; center of
the beach where about GO persons
were gathered . A strong under

Pulling them out Info the ocean
as more and more of the heavy
combers rolled in.
Screams of the entrapped bath
ers attracted crowds. Mothers,
whose children were on the beach,
raced to the foot of North Caro
lina avenue and shouted for their
child rcn.
Captains Alexis Miller and Rich
ard Hughes, in charge of life
guards, collected seven guards In
cluding Allen Turner, Captain of
the Princeton University swimming
team, and started rescue work. The'
guards put out a life boat which
overturned, spilling the rescuers

the Atlantic City surgeon’s force,
Joined with the rescuers and they
formed a human chain. One by
one the bathers, nearing exhaustion
from the force of the undertow,
were pulled back to safety. Many
of those rescued were near ex
haustion but were revived once
they were carried Into the beach.
The waves, Ur P.ossert said, were
entirely different from any ho had
seen In his 25 years experience at
the New Jersey resort.
"It was some sort of a freak
wave,” he said. "I never saw any
thing like it. I can't imagine what
caused It. I doubt If it can be ex

The tax for the year of 11*31 Is

3-10 of a mil over the 1930 tax.
The reason for the increase Is the
proposed betterin' nt of street light

The district committee Is hard at

that will give the district an in

There will also he lights at spe

considerable more than 100 watts.
The Increased cost of this better
lighting system will III' 18 per cent

The district is not carrying a sur

Gains And Losses
About Balanced At
Closing Of Market
Trading Became Dull After the Early High—Sales
Were Away Lower Than Yesterday

New York, Aug 19.— (UP)—
After reacitng from early highs,
the stock market turned dull and
prices rallied slightly. Around
the end of the fourth hour gains
and losses about balanced and the
net results for the day was zero.
The JJow-Jones averages fig
ured at 1:30 showed a loss of
0.33 in the industrials; 0.03 in
the rails and 0.17 in the utilities.

unchanged In the average.
Hales to 1:30 p. m. totaled 700,
000 shares, against 1,300,00 shares
In the corresponding period yes
terday.
The falling off in business when
the market turned reactionary was
hailed in bullish quarters ns a
good indication for eventual re
sumption of the advance. It was
likewise a restraining influence on
the bears who remained aloof from
the market.
Oil shares maintained fractions
of early advances which ranged
to more than a point. This group
was sustained by reports from
western oil fields indicating short
age of crude oil which would
bring prices up sharply.
ltallroad shares were Influenced
by a drop in car loadings for the
week of August 8. However the
selling was not carried far and af
ter Pennsylvania had equalled its
low for the last decade, the whole
group met support and came back
to around the previous close.
Atchison improved on that figure
and around the beginning of the
fifth hour it was selling at 138 V4

Steel common which touched
89 came back a point and other in

steady tone. Safeway Stores was a
