ASSAHS ASTOUNDED
COPS WITH GOSPEL

John 6-37: You must be born
again Every new born babe re-
quires the milk of the word.
Heaven and earth shall pass
away Heaven means the heaven
that the rich and dignified beings
of this world have made their
heaven.
THE word became flesh there
fore, His people are the word.
(Signed) Walter John Meakins.'
The police are incapable of COM
pretending the meaning of the
weird epistle in as much as it re-
fers to the new born babe. but it
is suspicioned that Walter John
Meakins had the new born cops in
mind while his pen scrawled those
words. However, Meakins' bible
hasn't been found.

DANGER IN TIGHT LACLNG;
NATIONS WAR ON CORSETS

When the dainty actress gets
into her stage clothes and squeezes
the last button into place, they tell
you that a 10 inch tape will just
about meet around her wasplike
body.
There is much satisfaction in
this for Mile. Polaire, for to have
the smallest waist in the world
means fame to a prison on the
stage.
But in everyday life the popu-
larity of the squeezed in waist is
waning. Students of hygiene. gov
eminent officials and even the die
tators of fashion, in every country
in the world, are beginning to
frown on the squeezed in waist.
Normal school students in Rou-
mania are compelled by law to go
uncorseted. In Bulgaria, teachers
wearing corsets are forbidden to
enter schoolrooms. The car of
Russia has set his royal foot down
and for five years the girls and
women of his family have worn no
corsets.
Even in Paris an effort Is being
made to induce girls in the public
schools to give up corsets. To this
end corsetless beauties are being
exhibited in the public schools.
Eminent French doctors attrib
ute floating kidneys" and numer
Gus other ills to the direct influ
ence of tight lacing as practiced BY
society women and popular beau
ties. They also claim that in some
cases that the liver is strangulated
to such a degree that portion Is
detached and becomes a moving
tumor.

An attempt to convert the po-
lice department or to fathom their
interest in their own spiritual well
fare seems to have been made by
Walter John Meakins. Meakins
complains of having been robbed
of bible while rooming on River
side avenue, name of the place not
mentioned, and in informing the
police of his loss, endeavoring to
learn what development has been
made in his case, writes the fol-
lowing:
MY request requested my
landlady, by commission, to inform
you of my bible having been
taken from my room on Riverside.
Should you recover, don't hurry
to return it to me, but let the
force read, mark, learn and in
wardly digest it's contents.
