Immediately after arriving at I'll

their attention to the proper cloth

the young girls, whom they sup
piled with dresses, petticoats and
shoes in place of their haggy trous-

so delighted with the change that
this mode of attire has become gen

Are we making any demands at all

by and commencing those who have
the courage to fight this monster ?
Are we making it easy for those who
have information concerning violations
to bring that information into court ?

enough, for example to say one word
of praise to the officers to the court,
or to the witnesses in the recent case
