Western Women
 Use Rouge And Wear Knee Skirts

Washington. April 6-Alice Rob- ertson, Oklahoma, a lady member of Congress, today gave her impressions of the Cigarette smoking women of the east" with their rouge and knee skirts.
 When it was suggested that they proved a bit of q shock to a citizen of the COW country" she said calmly:
 You can see plenty of women in the southwest with rouge and skirts shorter than they ought to be. Some of them even use more rouge than the women in Washington and New York. The people out there aren't going to let the east get ahead of them in anything if they can help it
 If the up to date skirt had more width and a little more length it would be sensible
 T don't call these extreme styles with the bodice cut too low and the skirt too high. immoral. If they were immoral they'd attract the men, but they don't. They disgust them Wo- men dress that way not to attract the men. but 70 get ahead of one another.
 Maybe you've noticed that it's the women with the -scrawniest necks and legs who wear the lowest waists and shortest skirts observed the lady from Oklahoma"
 T don't want any one to think I'm not loyal to women. I'm a wornan's woman, but now it's a 5O-50 proposi- ton with me- I was elected to rep resent both men and women.'
