 AFRAID THEY'LL GO TOO FAR

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The skirts of Salvation Army lassies, at enc time the shortest of any worn on the streets of America, must not be more than seven inches above the street level. according to an order issued by Commissioner Wm. Pearc, leader of the organization il fifteen midwest states.

''The skirt that trails in the dirt gathering germs is a menace to the wearer's health but the skirt that flaps around the knees is very much of menace to the modesty Of the woman who wears it. The skirt is about the only thing which doesn't appear to be coming down these days and 2 back to normalcy drive on the too-short dress will do lot to protect the morals of the rising generation"
 The order will afec5 every Sal vation Army woman in TT countries and colonies where the organization operates, with the possible exception of China and Japan, where most of the lassies wear trousers.
