POPE IN LETTER RAPS I'M
MODEST GARB FOR
WOMEN

Rome.-Pope Plus, who on several
occasions has expressed his displeas-
ure over the modern fashions OF
women, condemns immodest clothing
anew in letter to Cardinal Schultz,
archbishop of Cologne.
"The entire Catholic clergy is CO
operating in the struggle against i'm
modest women's clothing" says the
pontiff. at is very painful and deplor-
able that clothing which by nature
was intended to cover the body has, in
our time, because so many women
forgot their dignity, served often to
offend sacrilegiously the sense -oi
shame and offer to everybody. espe-
cially the young, occasion for stimula-
ton of the senses"
Therefore, the pope adds, he never
fails to take the opportunity to con-
denim and check such a shameful state
of affairs.

BAY STATE TRIES OUT FIRST
AUTO INSURANCE LAW

Boston, Mass.-With mingled high
hopes and misgivings, Massachusetts,
has put into effect the first compul-
sorry automobile insurance law in the
United States. Every automobile
owner in the state, and there were $780,
600 last year, before he can obtain a
registration license for 1927, must
post a bond to cover accident lisbil-
tiles or show an insurance policy COW
ering the same risk.
Under the power of the Legislative
act, Insurance Commissioner Wesley
E. Monk promulgated some months
ago rates for the various classes oi
motor vehicles. The state was divided
into three territories, with metropol-
itan Boston paying the highest pre-
MUM.
These rates already have drawn fire
Some residents have protested that the
districting of the state constitutes dis
elimination, which is forbidden by law
Companies operating taxicabs or other
groups of cars have sought "Aeei
rate" which the attorney general has
said is illegal under the present law
Insurance companies have not looked
kindly on the rule which makes il
mandatory to insure all applicants.
