Columbus, Ohio
| ~ ERlOUSlY concerned over the
~ daring of modern feminine at
~ tire prominent members of the
Ohio Federation of Catholic So
cieties, which meets in Columbus
next Sunday, are talking of move
ment to have the federation take ac-
ton against the increasing scantiness
of female dress. In the past years
the Catholic federation has given it's
views to the world frankly on such
questions as divorce, irreligion and
the drink habit, and at it's meeting
Sunday 1t promises to go to the mat
with subject more sensitive and yet
to many more interesting than any of
the rest. Catholic leaders here say
that the Catholic clergy of the state
have become actually alarmed over
the greater and greater tendency to-
ward lack of modesty in the apparel
of women and that the time has come
when it is agreed that concerted ac-
tion should be taken. The Catholic
federation is made up of delegates
from all parts of the state and COM
prises many prominent Catholics. Sew
cal clergymen will attend the meet.
ing Sunday. AS indicative of large
Catholic sentiment, the Catholic Co.
lumbus, in its last issue, published
here, has the following to say anent
modern feminine attire: mo Catho-
lie mother should let her daughter
wear the tight skirts, the slit skirts,
the Balkan suit with its band around
the hips, and the other outrageous
fashions that now prevail, which are
designed for the demimond by men
dressmakers, who desire to attract
customers"
Charges Against Loan Sharks.
Ugly charges against loan sharks
are now being made in complaints
which have been received by the Red
Cross and the Russell Sage Founda-
ton. The complaints are that the re-
lief funds which have been given to
flood sufferers in Ohio and Indiana
are in large amounts finding their way
back into the pockets of loan agents
who have advanced small sums to the
flood victims and who are now de-
manding blood money" in the form
of exorbitant interest rates. 1t is
charged that the loan agents are most
active in Dayton and Columbus and
various cases are cited wherein they,
|
getting the money which the big
hearted people have donated, many
times at big sacrifice, to help the
stricken sufferers. Pitiable cases are
being brought to light wherein food
victims, who were advanced paltry
sums by the loan sharks are now be.
ing compelled to pay back the origin
al sum three and four times over in
the name of interest" There is talk
In Columbus and Dayton of asking
Gov. Cox to request the general as
sembly next January to strengthen
the anti-loan shark law.
Names Industrial Commission.
Insofar as can bet determined by
the prevailing sentiment here, Gov.
Cox's new Industrial commission form
ally appointed Monday, meets with
public approval. Wallace D. Yaple of
Chillicothe, who is named for the
term ending June 20, 1919, is an at
torney by profession. He was elected
mayor of Chillicothe five times and
was serving his fifth term when

ity board of awards, which goes out
of existence with the operation of the
industrial commission law. Thomas
J. Duffy of East Liverpool, who is ap-
pointed for the term ending June 80,
1917, before being appointed on the
state liability board of awards, was
for nine years president of the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters, which embraces the white ware
potters of the United States and Can
ada. During his regime among the
potters there was not single strike

appointment he had general labor
endorsement. M. B. Hammond of Co.
lumbus, who is named for the term
ending June 80, 1915, is professor in
the department Of economics at Ohio

| sidered to be we'll qualified for the

1900 firms are in the state insurance
fund and more than 10000 workmen

From the date of opening the insur-
ance feature payments have :een
growing and now reach $465,000 and
