DANCE HALL
GIRLS FACE
NEW CHARGE

Not content with the 3O-day
sentences given to dance hall girls
in police court week ago, police
officers filed charges of vagraucy
under the state law Friday against
d3 of the prisoners. Attorneys
appeared for the girls, and all
cases were set over until Dec. %.
The only evidence on which the
girls were convicted as Migrants
under a city ordinance was the
fact that they we're employed in
dance halls. Attorneys for the
Girls say that they will make a
bitter fight against the new
charges.
Attorney William Ball Of Be-
attic appeared Friday in behalf Of
Mrs. Blanche Learmont, one OF
the girl prisoners. Mrs. Lear
mont had escaped from the quar-
antine station Friday morning.

aside.

Right here someone suggested
1t might be converted into heavy

Our cub could stand the strain
no longer. With the assistance of
one of the office smokers she

one, weighing several pounds
lighter, with a plain rubber bit
at two-bits less.

Girls Girls; When you buy
that Christmas pipe for your Sam
my, don't get one that will put a
kink in his jaw, or one that will
bite a hole in his tongue, or one
that'll make his arm lame when
he carries it.
This warning is issued today
because our famous girl cub re-

"war daddy" went out and got

Boys, you oughta seen that
pipe! All loaded down with gold
trimmings, weighed like a sledge-

chorus.

sporting editor.
All the brightness faded out of
