HoIIinger Tries to Find Flaws
With Ordinance; Lawyers
Call it "Weak"

Benjamin F. HOllinger, city super
visor, tried TO sit on Larsen's famous
dimming ordinance last night, but he
was squelched by the mayor. who took
advantage Of the new rules to hush ul
the chairman Of parks and play
grounds. The mayor smiled as he did
so, Mr.. Hollinger frowning the while,
It looked like q "free-for-alP' for q
moment, for HolIinger had risen and
declared that the dimming ordinance
was q joke, and that some of these
times lawyer would get busy and
pick II to piecea We ought to get
hold of 1t and straighten It out
Hollinger was saying. when he was
hushed with q roar. from the inventor
of the Larsen trailer"
What dye mean-pick to pieces 2
came the query.
Il simply mean that this ordinance
has to do with machines that are in
operation. not those that are standing
on the streets" Hollinger parted. and

going to get around that fact. Ma.

the ordinance which he had long ago
learned by heart.

gIeefully; at says while being operat.

I've been talking about. There is
nothing about leaving It standing out

It WIS at this moment that Holm
ger began to read the ordinance In its
entirety, but heswas hushed by Mayor
Lane, who raped on the table and
called for new business.

Larsen stated that as far as he was

but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats, sugars and starches of whst
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the tissues

readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and does
