Bare Knees And
Arms Defended

Atlantic City, n. j., Feb. pa
warning to would-be rcformcr, of
girls' dresses to drift somewhat with
the tide of womon'S fashions. even to
seeming extremes, because the tide is
too strong to be combated in these
times" was sounded by several Of the
speakers at the National Educational
Association conference in Atlantic
City.
"Al that We want in the dress Of
Young women today" declared Miss
Mary G. Robinson. of Bangor, Maine.
addressing the Nat onal Association
of Deans of Women in the st. Charles
ais responsibility from the knees to
the shoulder blades, we can expect no
more.
Open Minds Needed.
1--WE must strive to keep an open
mind on these matters, we must re-
member that the things that shocked
us five years ago cannot possibly
shock US now We will have to drift
with the tide of public opinion. none
of us can understand fashion in
woman's dress, if il is coming, its
coming. and that all there is to it.
There is no indocency in bare
arms, nor in bare knees. If we are
not used to seeing them displayed by
our younger sisters, we must begin
now to get accustomed to them.
There is no harm in such things.
Older Women Jealous.
"Dress has been problem. and a
big problem for women ever since the
time of Eve. am not trying TO bring
our clothing back to the standards in
the Garden of Eden. but it is my be-
lief that the scanty attire affected by
the younger set in these modern
times is at least more respectable
than nothing at all.
1.-The truth of the matter is tha1
most of us older women envy these
clear-skinned maidens in more or less
revealing styles of dress, we envy
them their wonderful bodies, their
complexion, their skin, their beauties
and charms physically, and, yes. we
envy them, too, their miraculous i'm
munity in all sorts of stormy and
frigid weather, clad in the Shecre st
silks. to colds, to disagroe4ble all
mentS that the contrary elements
shower upon US more ancient ones"

AUSTRIAN YOUTH
Will BE STUNTED
Three Famous Physicians Join in Re-
quest for Assistance.
(By Associated Press.)

VIENNA, Feb. 1S.-Three inter
nationally known Austrian phSsi-
clans have Joined in statement to
the effect that Austrian children will
remain permanently stunted in
growth unless adequate relief is
given Immediately. The physicians
are DR.. EiseIsberg. Vienna brain spe-
cialist and one of the leading sur
geons of the city; and Drs. Lorenz
and Pirquet, the latter the inventor
of the tuberculin test and for two
years professor at Johns Hopkins I'M
iversity.
The statement. which has been
made by request. says:
I'VE, the undersigned, wish to
bring to the attention of the world
that recent statistics gathered in vi
emma show Austrian children subnor-
NAL both in weight and height. Re-
cent examination Of apprentices in
Vienna revealed that boys of II years
of age have an average height of
five feet two inches, instead of the
normal height of five feet six inches,
and that their weight averaged 101
pounds instead of a normal weight
Of la IL pounds.
'Alto xether we may state that at
the end of Juvenile growth the aver
age boys of Vienna are about four
inches below normal height and
about is pounds below normal
weight. Girls are correspondingly
stunted.
1--WE also believe from a medical
standpoint these children will never
have their normal weight and height
but will go through life in this
stunted condition. We believe that
children of succeeding age and class
es. unless given sufficient food, will
also remain undeveloped and so go
through life.
"An awful proof of under nournish-
emnt is great distortion. caused by
ricketts,, Of limbs of nearly all the
children who come to orthepedic
wards.
"a most depressing fact is the fire.
| quent occurrence that young boys
and girls, asking for relief of severe
pains in their feet or legs, are ascer-
| tanned to be dragging themselves on
broken bones which had cracked
noiselessly and given way on account
| of the unhealthfuI condition of their
| emaciated systems. Such deplorabIe
| developments were unheard of previ-
Gus to the war, and can now only be
combatted by giving children ade-
quate and. sufficient food"
