What will the future generations be
like if the girls of today continue TO
wear clothing that most vaudeville
actresses would have blushed to wear
few years ago?
The question was put today by Mrs.
Edward Beecher Finck, 1918 Pine
street. prominent clubwoman. She was
discussing the recent address of Pope
Benedict concerning women's dress,
The poutiff strongly urged the forma-
tion Of n league Of Catholic women to
fight what he termed the 'indecency of
fashion.
AT present there is no cCfcertod
action among Catholic women OF Phlla
delphia against immodest dress, said
Mrs. Finck. but the sentiment has
been against this sort of fashion Tor
many years. | think it is a universal
question. not one to he taken up only
hy Catholic women But | am quite
sure the church women will heartily
support any movement against vulgnr
dress.

this fall that American fashion makers
had refused TO accept Paris standards
because Of this indccency. know
that womeu's clubs throughout the city
are discussing the problem of dress,

WILL SELECT REFEREE
FOR BIG TOLEDO Fight


Toledo, O., June 10.-Tex Richard,
promoter of the heavyweight cham
pionship contest between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey here July 4, to-
night requested Anthony J. Drexel,
president of the army, navy and civil
ian board of boxing control, to Sc
lect the referee for the contest. Rick
ard said Willard and Dempsey had
agreed to accept the selection of the
board.
Rickard, in his letter to Major Bid

the officials to be connected with the
contest, which includes the referee
and two judges, if the board so de-
cides; to appoint the official time
keeper and to alter any conditions OF
the match, which the board believes
will be helpful to the glove sport.
Richards startling announcement
came as distinct surprise to
the score or more candidates wno
have sought to be appointed referee.
Major Biddle, a millionaire sports
man Of Philadelphia, always has been
a supporter of boxing and won some
amateur glove championships him
self 1t was said the board would re-
spond favorably to Promoter Rick
ards appeal.
Willard covered four miles on the
road this morning and boxed seven
rounds this afternoon. The cut over
Dempsey's eye did not permit the
challenger to do any glove work.

With a quota of 200 associate mem
hers mt $1,000 in cash, and Week
in which to do the job, the loyal work

The total number of memberships
obtained was $40. and the cash sub
scriptions totaled $1,002, County
Chairman Joseph r. Wilson announc-

and it was confidently believed that
the final results would bring the mem
beers close to the 200 mark and swell
the cash correspondingly.
IT never saw anything like ii in my
life" said Chairman Wilson last night.
THE responses to our appeals were
almost spontaneous. The people are
to be congratulated for the manner
in which they aided in this worthy
cause,
And I want to praise the press for
the excellent and generous publicity
given the drive before it was launched
The news articles and editorials were
fine and contributed much to the sue
cess of the campaign"
Only 5000 of the amount raised viii
go to the national organization. The
