The One-Piece Bathing Suit.
New Orleans. Nav 27. 1872

New Orleans, May 27, 1920.
To the Editor of The Times-Picayune
Following the notice in several of
the daily papers that Biloxi and other
bathing resorts along the Mississippi
sound had passed legislation against
the "one-piece" bathing suits and
women going bathing without stock
ings, the following excerpts from an
editorial appearing in a physical cul-
ture magazine would be to the point.
"Chicago, the home for generations
of the most painful sort of prudery,
is coming out into the light. No city
in the union has been more cursed
by laws based upon the idea that the
human body, and particularly the
body of woman, is an indecent OBJ
ject. Though none of these laws have
been repealed, the people of Chicago
have taken the situation into their
own hands, and they now bath on the
beaches of Lake Michigan in cos
tunes that allow them the free use
of their bodies. The women wearing
one-piece- costumes without skirts or
stockings! Just think of it! Chicago
has indeed made some progress to-
ward decency when it can bear such
reform without comment from
either pulpit or press. The degree of
decency existing in any community
can be measured by the extent to
which it will view the human figure
undraped, without vile or obscene
comments. Let our women bath in
a costume that will add to their vitali-
ty. health and beauty. 1t is only in
decent minds that make skirts and
stockings necessary for women when
bathing. *Itsis very difficult for
a woman to'swim in the conventional
costume Thus is she not only ham
dicapped in learning to swim, but In
time of danger is unable to swim as
we'll as she otherwise might"
The legislators of Biloxi and Gulf
coast resorts should take notice and
keep up with the rest of the world.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
TO BUY GOVERNMENT BONDS
AT LESS THAN THEIR VALUE.

The bonds of the United States
are the safest securities in the world
and the present market price, which
is very much under their real value,
offers an extraordinary opportunity
to make an absolutely safe ~invest-
ment at the high rate of return upon
the money paid for the securities.
These bonds are the best in the
world because:
This is the greatest, richest and
most powerful nation in the world.
1t has never failed to pay prompt
ly the interest and principal of it's
obligations.
1t has less debt capital than any
fother nation.
It's resources are the richest and
it's people produce more and earn
more than any other people.
Money is cheap now, but it will
almost certainly be scarce and dearer
when these bonds mature. Conse-
puently it will buy more then than
now.
Your money invested in these
bonds now has three great advan-
tages, low cost, high rate of return
ctlld IllSuSI pOWCl W tAlO
dollar you will get back.
Hon. John Shelton Williams, Comp
troller of the Currency, in state
ment issued on May 26th, has this
to say about Government bonds as
an investments:
For the first time in half a
century, those who have money to
! invest have now the opportunity of
buying the safest security on earth,
on basis which will yield, during
the life of the investment, an average
income of more than per cent per
annum. This is three times smuch
at the interest paid on United States
Government 2 per cent bonds, which
in times past have sold above par"
You can buy these bonds in such
sums as you desire through your
! bank or trust company.

FED HIS CHILDREN GARBAGE
New York Father Is Charged With
Gross Negligence of His
Family.

New York.-JOhn Peraldo, Swiss,
residing near Inwood, a suburb of this
city, has been adjudged guilty in the
court of special sessions, sitting in
New York city. of what was called
most horrible neglect of the duties of
husband and father.
Peraldo, thirty-five years old, had
been in the United States II years.
His accusers in court were his wife,
several neighbors and agents of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. During the testimony il
was shown that his wife and three
children, Linda, six years old; Edith,
three. and Joseph, eleven months,
were housed in a tumble-down shack
which they shared with chickens, dogs
and pig.
1t was found that Peraldo does odd
jobs for apartment house tenants in
New York, and that each day he Sc
lected from garbage he brought home
the food for his wife and children be-
fore feeding the pig. dogs and chick
ems. Peraldo himself lived in coop

Worry Really Wicked.


Worry is really an evidence of lack
of Self-confidence and of faith in the
power that runs the universe 1t is
a lack of faith in the power that pro-
vided you do your part, will always

bly, could by yourself alone Why
should you worry why should you
fear, why should you be anxious, when
Gods vision and omnipotence are al
ways ready to guide and serve you?
There never has. been an instant in
your life, my friend, which you could
have safeguarded or provided for with
thousandth part of the wisdom with
which God has guarded and provided
for it. 1t is really a reflection upon
him to be anxious about the future. to
dread poverty and sickness, to worry
about your business, to fear failure
in your undertakings SWEET

MANY ROADS TO KNOWLEDGE
For instance, Impudent Fake Resulted
in Opening Up the Field of
Electro Therapy.

Along the road that leads to knowI-
edge are scattered many fake-shops.
which as a rule do a fourishing and
profitable business. For tie chief
weakness of the human mind is credu-
lity
But by curious paradox. the foolish
ness factories every now and then
produce something that proves of sub
stantial usefulness to science.
For example, in New England many
years ago man named Perkins in
vented what he called a magnetic
tractor" for drawing diseases out of
folk. It was shaped like pair of
compasses, with one leg of silver and
the other of copper. When the two
points We're passed over the afflicted
part of the body the instrument, was
supposed by some electrical meaCs to
alleviate or cure the trouble.
The tractors" undoubtedly did
benefit many people,. also Perkins,
who sold them for So apiece. They
made such a sensation that scientists
took the matter up, investigating it
thoroughly and proving that magma
ton did the work. Blindfolded per-
sons We're relieved of pain by the con-
tact of couple of pointed sticks of
wood, which they mistook for the in
strument in question.
The whole business was plain fool
ishness. Nevertheless. the interest
1t awakened led to the first opening up
of the field of eiectro-therapy, diScov,
cries of which have proved of such
immense Importance to medical sci
ence.
