DANCING MEN, BENCH
 WARMERS, IDLERS DOOMED

NEW YORK: Word from Albany that Gov. Whitman has signed the new anti-loafing bill just passed by the legislature will be the signal for the invasion by deputy sheriffs of all establishments in Manhattan where jazz bands ands dancing men furnish the chief attraction for young wo- men.

Spe- cial attention, the sheriff announced today, would be given to bench warm CTS in parks, club idlers and men who spend their time in pleasurable but sports. Sheriff Knott's proclamation to idlers concludes with this warning:
 "The possession by any man of money, property or income sufficient to support himself will not be a de fense for idleness. The penalty Is . fife of $10O or Imprisonment for three months or both."
