SCHROEDER FOR "AU NATUREL"

Now that Councilman Sheldon has been
appointed official censor of bathing cos
tunes by the Omaha Rod and Gun club
he feels that he may soon be in a worse
situation than he was wnen two thugs
attempted to hold him up.
Many suggestions already have been
made to the Sixth ward councilman as to
Just what style of bathing costume should
be given official endorsement. Judge Berka
a colleague in the council, has strong
leaning toward "A comfortable modesty
shrouded in baggy style of dress. The
water will reach the body, anyhow" says
the judge, and that is what people so In
bathing for, primarily. Let the suit be
decked with flossiness or ribbons, if you
will, but let it also be a complete cover for
the shapeliness OF outline that lies at the
base of the censorship"
The Fewer the Better.
But mermaids don't wear clothes" says
Sheldon, and 1 know from experience that
the fewer clothes one has on the more
JOY there is in the water"
Councilman Schroeder, being constructed
on Apolo-like lines, insists that bathing
ought to be regarded just as any other
healthy sport, The human form entirely
unadoned Is perhaps Objectionable to
everybody but artists and physicians"
said the handsome Seventh ward leader.
However, IL is so easy to go to extremes
that l have been advising Sheldon to seek
the happy medium, that will at once make
the human form a pleasant sight to see
and still allow free play for the limbs.
Conventional standards now permit a boy
to have ever so much more freedom in the
water than girl, and there is serious
question il this is altogether right"
Flynn Suggests smoked Glasses.
Street Commissioner Flynn has recon-
mended that beach loterers be compelled
to wear heavily smoked glasses. And
would make that apply to women as wei
as TO men. Such glasses have a deceptive
