Has SIidell Brown Been Yamped?

Miss Olive Kline, the celebrated So
prano singer, who is vel known in
Elkins, where she appeared some two
years ago at the Grand Theatre under
the auspices of the Elkins Music Club,
will appear at the Grand Theatre in
Philippi on December and il will be
a treat to all those fortunate to hear
her. She is not only a magnificent
singer but a magnificent looking wo.
man also, and it is worth the price of
admission to see a beautiful woman
like her, even if she could not sing at
all, but she can sing, as all can testify
who have heard her. When she comes
to Elkins again she will have a crowded
house and we will be there early and
stay late.
We take the above item from the
Elkins Enterprise, and there is no
doubt that it comes from the pen of
its editor, J. Slidell Brown. What are
we to think when he writes such para
graphs as the above and so brazenly
publishes them? And he with a wife
and children and maybe grandchildren
by this time! Shame on you Slidelll

"Blue Laws" For School Girls

Conflict between teachers and school
girl students over the question of dress
has prompted the West Virginia State
board OF Education to hand down a
decision in the matter. The State
authorities not only rule on dress, but
advance ideas about how school girls
should deport themselves. Copies of
the ruling have been forwarded to all
public schoo' in the State, with recon-
mendation that the teachers make the
provisions effective.
The State educators approve a plain
AMI simple dress for school wear.
Light weight georgettes and chiffons
are deemed undesirable. Soft, cling
ing materials that reveal the form are
banned, also low necks and formal
evening gowns. Dress lengths should
be "regu ated to fit the physique of
the Individual" says the board. which
come out fiat against rolled and Cloud"
hose. Silk stockings are considered
unnecessary for school wear, and shoes
with low heels are approved.
We disaprrove of the use of eve
brow pencils, lip-stick, rouge and heavy
face powder, says the board. We be-
lieve in chaperons for all parties. in
GLIDING motor rides. We believe in
the "hands of" policy in friendship OF
boys and girls. We believe no girl
should accept presents or auto rides
from strangers.
We believe every girl should be es-
pecially particular in selecting sub
iects and words when conversinp with
boy. We believe slang should be ex
cluded from our speech. No girl
should take part in gossiping. Every
girl who comes to school immodestly
attired will be sent before a committee
composed of the lady members of the
faculty.
