 And so. when they appear on the stage to regale the eyes of New York's men about town'-and there are plenty of girls in the audience too they present a spectacle that sometimes brings out smiles.
 A peaches-and-cream complexion, a dimpled Cupid's-bow of a mouth, a lovely head of bobbed hair, a cos tune carefully designed to give the wearer chance to show that the excellence of her complexion is not confined to her face alone but ex. tends to her shoulders. neck and arms. And then. oh, horrors, a heavilytanned neck and shoulders, with the thinnest of white stripes marking the position of the shoulder straps! Do you wonder that Flo Ziegfeld is willing, for this once, to align himself with the reformers?
 It's tough" moaned "Ziggy." when the subject was preached. Tt wouldn't be so bad if only their faces got tanned-grease paint could take care of that. But when they get tanned all over. what, ask you. is the use of having Joseph Urban to cook up a swell color scheme and spending a mint of money for cos tunes when the girls are all olive drab and don't harmonize. There should be law against these low. cut bathing suits."

These nam. moth guns are located in four turrets Of two guns each, and fire a shell weighing 2,100 pounds for a dis. tance of more than twenty miles These guns are fifty-seven feet in length. and for each full charge ap. proximately 4SO pounds of powder are required
 The secondary battery consists of fourteen five.inch guns, carried for use against torpedo boats. subma. rines and small craft In addition the Maryland has four three-inch anti-aircraft guns, a three-inch land. ing gun, six thirty-caliber machine guns and two underwater torpedo tubes for firing the largest and long est range torpedos.
 The Maryland was launched March 20. 1920. and recently completed speed trials off the Virginia Capes The technical description follows; Length, 624 feet; beam. 971a feet; draft, 30la feet; weight S2,000 tons; speed, 21 knots; propellors. 4: shaft horsepower, 3O.OO0; oil capacity, l. 100000 gallons; oil capacity, 1,40O., 900 gallons; oilburning boilers, &.

White, Black Preacher,
 Jailed for Toting Gun
tBy International News service)

(By International News service.)
 CLARKESBURG, w Va, Aug. 16 White. black, is in jail. No, this isn't a color scheme, nor a checker game. It's about the Rev. J. White, negro preacher, of Reynoldsville. At least, he is entitled to prefix the ministerial title to his name.
 The Rev. Mir. White was entirely too handy with his gun. There Is a drastic anti-weapon statute in West irginia, famed far and wide as the Johnson ipistoltoting law. And the least a magistrate or judge can do under 1t is to fine a man $50 and slap him in jail for not less than six months.
 The Reynoldsville preacher was lucky at that. as he drew the mini mum sentence. which was imposed in Magistrate T. c. Nicewarner's court Mrs. Lorena Taylor, of Key noldsville, swore that the Rev. J, White not only "toted" the gun con trary to law therein made and pro- vided, but that he also drew 1t upon her and threatened to kill her with 7.' -,-.essa--. --~.s--~-a-s,

IMPRESSARIO OF JAZzDOM JOINS IN DEMAND
 THAT LOW-CUT BATHING SUITS BE BANNED
By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
 NEW YORK. Aug. 16-This busi. ness of low-cut bathing suits has Flo Ziegfeld on the run.
 The eminent impresario of the ia. nous Follies disapproves most heart. fly of the latest modes in beach wear, which send a young girl out on the sand with her tender skin practically unprotected against the burning rays of the summer sun. He thinks it's all wrong.
 "Ziggy." for once in his career is in accord with the reformers. They are protesting against the too-ample display of the uncovered female body. So is he-when the display takes place on the beach.
 For. be it understood, Mir. Zleg. fields objections proceed from no moral ground Pray don't take this to mean that the gentleman in ques- ton does not believe in morals. He does, but his ideas on morality are a trifle different from those of Dr. Wilbur Crafts or the Rev. George Bowlby.
 "Ziggy's" objections are purely practical. Low-cut bathing suits and bare legs interfere seriously with the color scheme evolved by Jo. seph Urban for the latest Follies The girls go down to Long Beach and Southampton over the weekend. acquire a healthy coat of tan and .cohfsr back with their nscxs,- shoul.
