SALVATION LASSES
 WEAR LOWER SKIRTS
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, Jan. 30.-The skirts of Salvation Army lassies must not be more than seven inches above the street level, according to an order is- sued here today by Commissioner William Peart, leader of the organ- zation in 15 midwest states.
 "A few years ago we were trying to persuade our women to wear them shorter" said Commissioner Peart in commenting upon the order. The skirt that trails in the dirt gathering germs is a menace to its weorer's health; but the skirt that flaps around the knees is pretty much of a menace to the modesty of the wo- man who wears it. The skirt is about the only thing which doesn't appear to be coming down these days and a back to normalcy drive on the too short dress will do lot to protect the morals of the rising generation"

BIMINI WAS REALLY
 FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
(By the Associated Press)

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 30.-Federal prohibition officials here interested in Bimini, the small British island forty miles east of Miami which since the outlawing of John Barleycorn by the United States has become a mecca for those whose thirst was not quenched by the eighteenth amendment and which also is said to be the source of much of the liquor smuggled into this country, have ascertained that Bimini was supposed to have been the site of the fountain of youth" of which Ponce de Leon was in search when he discovered Flcrida.
 Prohibition officials credit the h. dians of Porto Rico with having known what they were talking about when they told Ponce de Leon what he would find at Bimini.
 "Bimini is running over with gold these days said one official, "and 1t Is certain from the experience we have had with liquor runners the last year or two that the marvellous waters of the fountain still flows freely"
