SHOWS LESS MEAT
IN COLD STORAGE

Cold storage stocks of meats and
la rds in the United States on May
/ were less by 2o2.00o,o00 pounds
than on the corresponding date last
year. and less by 100000 pounds
than on April l of this year. ac-
cording to a statement issued yes
terday by the Institute of American
Meat Packers.
The statement quotes reports Of
the United States bureau of mar
kets that the cold storage stock of
meats and lard on May l amounted
to 1.le1, $4,000 pounds.
Since the United States consumes
in excess of 52,0o0,ooo pounds of
meat and lard daily. the quantity
in storage on March l would have
been sufficient to fill national needs
for only about % days IL the coun-
try had to depend solely on these
stocks for immediate consumption"

PRAISES
AMERICAN GIRLS

NEW YORK, May 2s-"I prefer
to talk about the weather-the-
well. anything but relatively" said
Prof. Albert Einstein to reporters
today on the eve of his return to
Europe. The exponent of the theory
Of relativity sails for Germany to-
morrow on the Celtic.
Il hope you will not make me
talk relativity," he said to inter-
viewers. Il have been talked to
death on that subject"
And so he talked about women.
Il think American women are
lovely, of course" Prof. Einstein
said. There is no distinct type, as
far as / can see. But they dress re-
markably well. All classes of girls
dress like European aristocrats.
For instance, girl passed me on
the street who looked like a queen.
She was dressed not only in the best
style. but in perfect taste. thought
she was the daughter of a million
aire, but she turned out to be a
typist in this hotel. Why, even the
working girls dress like countesses.
This is a wonderful thing"

Long Beach Enforces
One-Piece Suit Ban

LONG BEACH, L. l., May %
The rule against one-piece bath
ing suits was rigidly enforced
here today. 1t was understood,
however. that one or two young
women attired in the tabooed gar
ments got past the censors.
Ten or fifteen girls were re-
uuested to leave the beach when
they appeared in one-piece suits to
test out the new ruling. Those
who actually went in the water
were allowed to go stockingless,
but the beach paraders were forced
to don at least half hose. About
$4,000 visited Long Beach today.

BATHING BEAUTIES
DEFY CENSORSHIP
Hawaiian Law Fails to Make
Waikiki Beach Un-
popular.

HONOLULU. NAV 29.-When Sem
ator Stephen Desha. a clergyman
Of Hilo. an island of the Hawaii
group, came to Honolulu for the
biennial session of the territorial
legislation after a considerable pc
riod of Information in his nativ"
habitat. the sights that he saw at
the beach at Waikiki resulted In
the enactment of new law. And
this is what he says:
NO person over IA years old
shall be or appear on any road OF
highway within the Honolulu dis
trict. city and county of Honolulu,
in a bathing suit. unless covered
suitably by an outer garment
reaching at least to the knees"
Niolators were to be fined not
more than $50.
The Desha law was designed TO
give pause to young and older
mermaids who had been in the
habit of dashing through the
streets of the Waikiki district clad
in bathing suits which made Mack
Sennett's girls look all dressed up
But it didn't give them much
pause.
The Waikiki beach beauties still
fly along the highways and by
ways, en- route to the surf, wear
ing suitable outer garments, but
hardly covered by them. save
around the neck, the rest OF said
garments huttering in the breeze
like the tail of a comet in a hurry
to go somewhere, with most ev-
erything Senator Desha' wanted to
cover up still available for optica'
appraisal. The spirit, not the let
ter. of the law is observed, but
thus far no arrests have been made
in an effort to make the word
covered" in the law mean some
thing. The sight at Waikiki still
exercises a strange fascination for
elderly tourists
