1heHapperSays

Recently I noticed in the news, said the Flapper, smoothing her brief skirt across the bend of her neither extremities, "that Board of Educa- tion member in Newark, N J., emitted a squawk about visiting the high school and seeing girls showing their bare knees. We'll, why did he peek into the gymnasium? He goes on to say that he complained about it to the high school authorities and made several other visits there and saw more bare knees.
 'Shocking! I'll tell the world and associated planets, it was. I mean his going back there and not shutting his eyes when he arrived. He might ss well have walked into dynamo room and touched a high tension wire not expecting to be shocked as to go back to that high school for a couple of looks. Still, I'd say man as easily shocked as that ought to have sent woman teacher ahead to look the knees over and see that they were properly covered before he got within eye-shot.
 "I wonder if men who yip about faPpers' bare knees think that afore- said knees are mans sole monopoly for exhibition purposes. Look at the coaceited smirks on the faces of those Scotchmen and Swiss and Tyrolcse mountaineers and others who feature pair of bare knees per man when they pose for their photographs. No body rises to denounce them. We all know that they're scandalously healthy, either because of or in spite of their bare knees. Why shouldn't girls have bare knees? They were
 
 acquired artificially.
 Would people rather see the dunce cap than the knee cap in school? They pay high prices to crowd into shows to see bare-kneed girls, and we poor inexperienced young things can only judge by appearances that that's what they like. If men in a body stayed away from such shows to reg ister disapproval, and f1ocked to see thickly-dressed girls, we happers would muffle up heavily. Until then we may cover, but we'll never bend our knees" e.

ASKS FEDERAL TAX
ON AUTOMOBILES
New York District Attorney Thinks 1t
Would Defer BOOtlegging and
Auto Thefts

WASHINGTON. May 12-Prosecut-
ing officers and representatives of state
automobile associations took opposite
sides yesterday at the house ways and
and means committees hearing on the
automobile registration bill of Repre-
sentative Mills of New York. The
measure is designed to cut down whole
sale motor car thefts by requiring that
ach car be stamped with a federal reg
stratiOn number at a cost Of so to the
lwner AS revenue getter it would
produce approximately S26.0O0,0O the
first year and S6,000,000 for each sue
eeding year
Joab III. Banton. district attorney of
New York county, speaking for the bill,
declared it wen1d be the greatest deter
rent of bootlegging and major crimes
which, he said. are facilitated by the
Use of automobiles.
"In New York city" said Mr.. Banton,
in 1927 there were 6,SOS automobiles
stolen and in 1920 there were 5,129, or
about S6.000.0O0 worth of cars. This
bill would have prevented that loss.
There are today in New York city auto
mobile firms that make it a regular
business to manipulate stolen cars so
that they will not be identified. \ ma
chine is stolen today and tomorrow you
would not recognize it. The engines and
bodies are changed numbers scratched
out and every identification mark IS
erased from the car as 1t was origi-
nally."
Members of the committee sought to
eetpliSh the fact that the entire matter
could be handled by the states, but Mr..
banton sand 1t would be impossible for a
state law to reach the offenders. The
automobile crooks. he said, have ready
market for the machines, knowing that
the state laws cannot reach them. If a
federal law was passed under which it
was possible to prosecute those having
machines whose Identification marks are
lnutilated. the market for stolen cars
would be eliminated, he asserted.
