GIRL IN MODESTY CLASS
Head of New York Street Car Lines
Grades Conductcrette Uniform
Above Other Dress Styles.

NEW YORK. February Theodore
r. Shonts, president of the company
that runs most of New York city's car
lines, having decreed some time ago
that the "conductorettes," recently
employed to replace men. should wear
bloomers as part of their uniform,
now comes forward to defend the cos
tune against the criticism that it is
immodest.
In letter TO critics he made public
tonight the railway president says:
Compared with the distorted figure
of the days OF tight lacing. the un-
slightly hustle. the unwieldy hoopshrt
and pantalette. as we'll as the present
what shall l say--near waistless
party or theater gown. the cross-s sad
die riding habit, the average summer
resort bathing suit, the peele-a@boo
shlrtWaist. the short street skirt, with
its far -short-of-reaching high top
shoes: l repeat. compared with
these I consider the neat, businesslike
uniform of our conductorettes. with
its knee-length semi military coat
closely buttoned collar, easy-fitting
bloomers and puttee-covered legs, a
splendid example of a modest. prac-
tica. utility dress.
IF in favor of common sense and
patriotism women have courage 10
sweep aside hidebound conventions
that they may the better do their bit
why should we attempt to handicap
them with false notions of modestv
about dress?"

ARMY CRITIC. RAIDS CONTINUE IN WEST

Insistent recommendations that gen
eral officers, colonels and other line
officers of high rank be held directly
respopsible for the training OF the
officers under them are contained IN
extracts of reports from Gen. Pershing
published here yesterday. There Is un-
finching criticism of the lack OF mill
tary knowledge on several vital points
displayed by such officers. presumably
of the Regular Army. on their arrival
in France.
Cen. Pershing notes an almost total
failure to give instructions in princi-
pIes of minor tactics and their prac-
tical application to war conditions.
Of.icers from colonels down. and IN
cIuding some general officers, are
found ignorant Of the handling of units
in open warfare, including principles
of Reconnaissance, outposts, advance
guard, solution of practical problems
and formation Of attack. No training
whatever has been given in nusketry
efficiency as distinguished from indi-
vidual target practice on the range"

More Samples Taken in Hunt

TAMPERED WITH CANDY
Health Officer Says Glass Is as Fine
as Powder in Most Cases and -
Not Easily Detected.

Warning to District citizens to alb
stain from eating bar chocolates until
officials finish the analysis of stocks
! seized here yesterday was sounded last
night by DR.. William C. Woodward
health officer >of the District of Colum-
bia.
Candy of this character examined yes
terday by pure food experts was found
to contain finely ground glass, which
causes inflammation of the stomach, DR..
Woodward said. Soldiers who purchased
chocolate bars near Walter Reed Hospi-
tsl first reported the matter. to the au-
thorities.
Will Take Other Samples.
Samples of chocolate bars from va
rious Washington stores were taken by
pure food inspectors late yesterday,
following the developments in the anal
ysis of the stocks confscated by the
police Friday. Additional samples will
be taken from stores here tomorrow te
determine if the. attempt to injure the
public by this meaneSs broadly extend
ed. Thus far bar chssolates have been
the only candy found to contain glass
particles. The largest particle is no
larger than the point of a needle. ac-
cording to Dr. woodward, and it is not
possible to detect the presence OF glass
in some bars of the candy. 4 soldier
who first reported the matter hit upon
bar in which an exceptionally large
piece of glass had been imbedded-
That alien enemies, having access to
factories where chocolate candy is
made, are responsible for this whole
sale attempt to cause public injury was
the opinion of local authorities investi-
eating the case last night. The choco-
late under examination was said by
q nearby city.
Finish Analysis Tomorrow.
Promise that pure food experts will
finish their analysis Of the candy thus
far connscated by tomorrow was held
out last night by, Ors woodward. He
also said that the only kind of candy
found thus contaminated fn>the District
was shipped to Washington.
In issuing a warning to citizens to
abstain from eating chocolate bars DR..
Woodward last nigAt emphasized the
grave danger Of siass-infected candy;
and found to contain particles of glass"
said Dr. Woodward. 1.-The glass is fine
as powder In most instances and can
be detected only by close examination.
Should Await Report.
THE sensation the person feels who
eats candy with glass in it is like that
of acute indigestion. Inflammation of
the stomach follows and the ailment is
usually mistaken for a sick stomach
or laid TO some food the person has
eaten. The consequences of eating
such candy are grave. indeed. and the
danger cannot be regarded too keenIy
For the time being, l would recon-
mend that no one eat this kind of candy
until the experts can finish their anal
ysis and find out how many brands
are affected"
The local detective bureau continued
its work on the case last night, as
sisted by Department of Justice agents.
