WORKS REITERATEs STAND

Following the conference Mayor
Rolph said to The CaIl's correspond
ent:
'The senator merely reiterated his
stand on the bill. We had heard so
many disconcerting statements re-
garding his view on this matter that
we determined to come and find out
for ourselves. The senator has clearly
defined his idea. 1t is matter of prin-
ciple with him.
WANTS STATE TO SETTLE MATTER
He does not want to see this mat
ter decided by congress. as he is con-
vinced it is question that should be
left to our state legislature. He per-
sonally has no objection to the bill,
and is entirely willing that the state
settle the question. He told us he had
no sympathy with the nature lovers.
I'VE came to determine his exact
stand. and the conference was entirely
satisfactory to u.s."

BULLETIN

Oliver Dlbble, attorney for Lieu
tenant and Mrs. Charles H. Slingsby,
received a cablegram from London
today from the barristers employed
by Mrs. Slingsby stating that copies
OF Mrs. Slingsby's correspondence in
the case have been given the San
Francisco attorneys of the Slingsby
opponents. This settles the accusa-
ton that the Fickert letter in the
possession of George A. Knight was
stolen from the safe of Dibble.
After he stepped up to bulky
James Brennan and told him he was
a liar in Judge Dunne's court to-
day, Andrew Thorne uncorked the
big surprise in the Slingsby case

ssFickert wanted to get possession
of the original advertisement I have

strike the next minute.

Southern chivalry rose to the occa-
sion when the Mayor of Clarksburg
W. Va, rendered "the apologies Of
Clarksburg," to two young women
arrested for wearing slit skirts, and
added that he thought the costumes
artistic and becoming"
But mayors made of sterner stuff
are everywhere filming women for
wearing indecent" clothes. and all
over the country the question of the
morality of the present fashions has
become a lively issue. 1t is not
merely that ministers In their denun-
cations, allege that Mother Eve IN
her fig-Ieaf apron was more modestly
dressed than her slit-skrted diaphan-
Gus daughters or that millions Of
purists are crusading against the
feminine costume, but Legislatures
pass laws for it's regulation and the
police in scores of cities are busy
making arrests for wearing it.

so curiously agItated over matter Of

After all. Is the diaphanous tight

Ecency all in the observer? The ques-
ton is calculated to provoke con-
troversary worthy of the silly season.
But why women in bathing suits,
