What is a Vamp7

Limited PreSS Leased wire SerV1ce.J
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. 18.-
Short skirts plus lace stockings plus
low necked waists plus drug store
compilations equal-a vamp.
, This problem in moral mathematics
was worked out here today by Police
Chief Joseph M. Quigley, in discuss
ing the cause and effect of the f1frt-
ing nuisance.
The chief maintained that If there
were no vampires there would be no
Washers and that every woman who
dresses immodestly comes automai
cally within the category of vamp
regardless OF how high her morals
may be.
$50 long as women continue to ap-
pear in public in costumes which, to
say the least, should be reserved for
the BOULDER, they will be regarded by
men as a walking invitation to men
to start Irritation" Quigley said.
II do not believe that a modesly
dressed woman has anything to fear
anywhere. I never have been able
to figure out why women and girls
dress-or rather understand paint
themselves the way they do. Assured
ly most of them are entirely inno-
cent OF any wrong motive. But as
long as they have the outward ap-
pearance of welcoming flirtati5n,
they will be accommodated"
