CLUB SUSPENSION
Declares He Will Not Attempt

REASON FOR THE PENALTY
Violated Rules by Entering
Baths After They Were
Closed, He Says.

Cyril A. Carroll, who was suspended
from the New York Athletic Club. said
last night at the Hotel st. Regis that
he would not attempt to have the sus-
pension lifted before next June. when It
is due to expire. The board OF gov
ernors, holding their first meeting since
they suspended Carroll, failed to take
any further action on the case yester-
day because he had not asked for REIN
statement
Carroll IS a son OF the late John f..
Carroll, former leader OF Tammany Hall.
and is well known as swimmer and
water polo player. He said that, while
he drank whenever he felt the inclina-
ton. intoxication was not the cause OF
his suspension.
1.-THE specific charge for which I was
suspended" said Carroll, was for COM

According to information given out
by the state bureau of labor statistics,
the ranking Of Missouri as thirty
fourth among all states in ability Of
its inhabitants to read or write, q
ranking recently included in articles
published by an Eastern philanthropic
institution, is far from correct. The
information upon which this false
ranking was established was taken,
the bureau officials believe, from q
report on literacy tests of only native
born white inhabitants of native
born parentage.
The bureau has recently finished an
extensive report on the problem of
illiteracy in the state, prepared for
the 1921 Missouri Red Book. This
report shows that in general illiteracy,
including all inhabitants ten years
of age and over, twenty-seven states
rank lower than Missouri. Other fig
ures given in the report show that
Missouri ranks thirteenth among all
states for total expenditures on public
schools being excelled in this respect

Whatever the convention did for the awkward squadron, it told the world that 1t must look to it's corset. The cut is most important, of course. Matronly women need no longer suffer such intense confine- ment. In the new order with a pinch here, a little curve there, loosen ing of the laces, 1t will be, "Hilda, how well you're looking"
 For the slim and girlish there should be just the proper pulling in and letting out to make the woman look like one.
 Then the color. For instance, a more elegant manner must offset d ping corset than that demanded by q white one. Pink corsets carry re- responsibilities. Especially brocade ones.
 Blues are the quintessence of fri volity. woman can have even a black one, for wear under black gowns and bathing suits.
 Speaking of bathing, one should never go swimming without a corset. Freedom of motion is nothing to freedom from fat. Special models have been designed for fresh and sal, water use.
 Then there are designs for riding. golfing, dancing, war working. And reducing. Yes, the proper corset will do Just that.
 One of the corsetieres, when asked whether there would be reversion to curfves, replied Curves or an gles. If the corset is a part of the woman, and moulds without chang ing her figure, it is the proper cor set for her. Woman must realize that her figure is hers, her very own. No matter whether style says slim or 'bouffante,' woman's first consid- eration should be self-expresslon."
 On observing the cylinder trend in modern dress designs, the layman must have been forced to the con cusion that figuring" had become a lost art.
 But not so. Nor will it. As long as it has the stanch support of our army of American corsetieres.
 An of which makes the Perfect Thirty Six" toss her head to one side a la Carmen" as she sings the gor- geously scintillating "Habanera" and huns a song that means indifference.
 But all the same the Perfect Thirty Six" as well as the "Imper- feet Forty-Two" has come to the parting of the ways when it comes to eorsets--for hate them as we may and loathe them as we do-the old fashioned wasp waist" despicably uncomfortable in the extreme on one hand, and the unattractive but de- spicably comfortable "girdle" letting out the waist to generous proportions on the other hand-corsets must be reckoned with-peradventure with out doubt

cret session empire figures were built and destroyed. Living models were produced to show the corset ieres how eorsets should and should not be worn. The corsetieres agreed that they never should not" be worn
 There were class sessions for mod els and filters. This is indeed specialized age. Corsetieres get their diplomas and their degrees.
 Filters demonstrated the disposi- ton of excess adipose.> Also that lac ing chould be done from the bottom up. There were more various fig ures than in plane and solid geom- etry, and the corsetieres met and vanquished all.
 Then, because even corset models are not flawless, there was instituted an awkward squad" This was con- cealed from the dazzled eyes of the public.
 Behind closed doors the mystic rit- uals of the awkward squad were ex- ecuted. An ample-bosomed matron guarded them.
 "You cannot go in there. The awk- ward squad is drilling" Leaning on the door, she intoned 1t 50 times for every comer. Two earnest hotel guests Insisted that they only wanted to see the green room." What . fitting spot on which to drill the battalion.
