NO PEEK-A-BOO

Director of Public Safety Is
sues Edict to BatherS.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 29.-Openwork
bathing suits have been tabooed in
Pittsburg, where the public of both
sexes has shown disposition to
battle in the different lakes and ponds.
Director of Public Safety Edward G..
Lang has just issued an order that the
police must see that every bather,
male or female, who takes plunge
inside the city limits "be suitably and
completely clothed from neck to
knee" and the police are empowered
to arrest any one bathing in trunks
on the charge of indecent exposure.
Director Lang said this afternoon:
Il took a look about town where
people were bathing and 1 want to
say that some of the bathing costumes
were the flirnsiest affairs l ever saw.
They were absolutely indecent and
have decided to put stop to it. Here.
after there must not be so much OF
any ones person exposed, and if they
insist on trunks, etc, why in a cell
they go. The women have got to
wear stockings, too, and gowns with
high necks.'

WILEY IS 0BJECT0R
Refuses to Follow Directions
He Gives to the Amer
lean People.
HE BELIEVES IN EATING.

Washington, July 29.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, organizer of the
government poison squad and advo-
cate of everything that is good and
pure in the food line, has at last been
discovered. Not only does he refuse
to take his own medicine, but he de-
clines to follow the summer diet pre-
scribed by him for SO,OO0,OOO or co.
100000 other Americans during the
hot weather.
In recent warning to the public he
advised the eating of stewed prunes,
peaches and cream and cereals and the
drinking of ice water. Some one,
who didn't take kindly to this sugges-
ton, decided that DR.. Wiley was not
carrying out his own recommendations
because, if prunes be excepted, the
layout" which the doctor Endorsed
did not stand to make folks fat, and he
was gaining avordupois in manner
absolutely shameful.
A few days ago the noted chemist
was finally run to earth in a Pennsyl-
vania avenue restaurant Furnishing a
meal that might have we'll graced the
table of the hardest working farm Ia
borer in the land. 1t embraced
crabs, the large sort) one large steak
special salad, some mugs of musty
ale, and the usual trimmings. When
cornered DR.. Wiley acknowledged the
corn.
Its true, I'm not following my own
directions" he explained, but then
you know a pure food inspector some
times has to do things that are dis
tasteful" Then he pushed his chair
back from the table, folded his hands
across his stomach and smiled.

The Effort Of His Life q Failure.


W. S. Gilbert had novel experience
before he wrote for the stage, when
he was barrister waiting for his first
brief. 1t was long in coming and
when it did come Mr.. Gilbert deter
mined, of course, to make the effort of
his life.
He was intrusted with the prosecu-
ton of an old Irish woman for stealing
a coat, and when he began the speech
that he had prepared and rehearsed so
carefully, the old dame at once began
to interject: ooh. ye divil, sit down.
"Sure, now, he's loier, yer honor" "Sii
down. We spalpeen!" Hes known to
all the perlice, yer honorr' After some
minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked
the recorders Intervention, but that of
fetal was too busy laughing. So the
effort of his life was not success.

THE Blackboard.
Invented In The Year 1920 by a Penn
sylvania Doctor.

Invented In The Year 1920 by Penn
sylvania Doctor.
Though the name buck board" is ap-
piled to thousands of carriages, few
people know how the word came to be
used.
Back around 1920. says the American
Vehicle, in explaining it, when the
transportation of goods, wares and
merchandise was almost entirely by
wagon, a DR.. Buck, who for many
years afterward was the military store
keeper at Washington, was in charge
of military stores en- route to army
posts in the southwest.
In east Tennessee much difficulty
was experienced by reason Of the rough
roads, and there were frequent mis-
haps, mostly from the wagons over
turning.
DIR. Buck overhauled the outfit, and,
abandoning the wagon bodies, long
boards were set directly on the axles
or hung below, and the stores were
loaded in such a manner that there
were no further delays from break
downs, and the stores safely reached
their destinations. In special emer-
gency, too, the load could be shifted
or taken off in a hurry.
The idea was probably not new, but
DR.. Bucks example was followed
especially when roads were rough. and
soon much hauling was done by the
use Of wheels, axles and boards only.
Now we have the blackboard. both in
carriage and automobile forms, con
forming closely to the original idea
though few suspect the source Of it

There has been lack of patronage
for the various recitals and concerts

tickets are given. In fact it has

Present Giving Worse Than Tippins

Present Giving Worse Than Tipping.
The trend of the times makes itself
felt in the matter Of presents and
present giving. In the days of our
grandmothers these tokens of affection
were few and far between and were
marked by a stern simplicity. But we
have changed all that, and the up to
date riot Of presents means a deadly
drain on our bank balances.
The tipping tax is bad enough, but
the burden OF countless presents can
give it points and a beating.-London

CINCINNATI, Feb. Though
the first ball in the big tournament
of the American Bowling congress
will not be rolled until tomorrow
night, the delegates to the gathering
have already begun to arrive in
considerable numbers. The size of
the advance guard is evidence in it.
self that the tournament this year
is destined to be the largest and
most representative that has ever
been held since the organization Of
the congress.
AS the present officers are practi-
cally assured of reelection without
contest, there is nothing in the way
of politics to excite the delegates,
but the fight for the next meeting
place of the congress is rapidly TAX
ing on an interesting and lively
character. Detroit and Pittsburg are
the rival contestants for the tourna-
ment next year, with the first-named
city apparently setting the pace.
