BISHOP OF ELY ARGUES
 OVER THE SHORT SKIRT
SOn-in-I.aW of British King Also Joins in This Unique
 Debate


 London, Feb. es (UP)-The ven- erable Bishop of Ely and the Royal by-Marriage Viscount Lascelles, the kings son-in-law, are debating the authorship of new form of cam paign against the modish short skirt. The campaign started with this rhyme:
 Half an inch, half an inch, half an
 inch shorter, The skirts are the same of mother
 and daughter. When the wind blows each one of
 them shows
 Half an inch. half an inch more
 than she oughter"
 Viscount Lascelles announced that the bishop was the author. The bishop, in an article, denied author ship but contributed another rhyme of his own:
 Mary has q little skirt,
 50 neat, so bright, so airy:
 Tt never shows speck of dirt,
 But it surely does show Mary"
 The bishop qualified his statement by adding to the last line: At least insofar as the portion of her below the knees are concerned
 Once started on the campaign, the bishop is going through with it, ill the same indirect fashion.
 1T think modern fashions have robbed women, and especially older women. of a measure of grace. dig nifty and charm which is associated with the dress of previous genera tions," he said.
 Flowing robes not only enhance physical perfection. but also modify or conceal physical imperfections which modern dress emphasizes and proclaims. There are many women who cannot really afford to be so candid about their ankles and so on."

DO,u cantc011le!

Today, and every. day, a lot of women count their time to suffer. As regularly as the months come round comes pain that is borne in silence. "It's Nature," women say. But it isn't!
 Women who have always had the hardest time. have no pain at all from the day they discover Midol.
 Midol is the special preparation of specialists. and is not a narcotic. It does nothing to the menstrual process. It does stop the pain-in five to seven minutes! So 1t is only common sense to use it. And 1t costs just 50 cents, at any drugstore in tiny carrying case of aluminium.

The Washington times., 1928-12-11

FerhapS the best or these tales Is
one KLEIN told on himself.
About 25 years ago, KLEIN says,
John J. McGraw presented to him
silver ball-and-strike indicator at
y dinner in the umpire'S honor
Klein never used an indicator, pre-
ferring to keep the count in his
head, but carried 1t in his hand in
every game FOR sentimental reasons.
A number of years subsequent to
the presentation McGraw protested
Klem's reckoning on balls and
strikes on a Giant batter. He main
tanned that Bill. had called too
many strikes.
KLEIN stuck to his guns, as
usual. and after heated argu-
ment McGraW asked to see his
indicator. The arbiter said he
did not use it, but handed it
over.
BY an odd coincidence the instru-
ment registered the count the Giant
manager contended it should. KLEIN
reiterated that he never consulted t
and insisted it just happened to be
set that way. McGraw, however.
remained unconcinced and to this
day thinks KLEIN offered this alibi
because he did not wish to acknowl-
edge he had made a mistake.
Many instances of Klem's hard
poiled attitude toward disputatious
players might be cited. but an in
cldent that occurred in an exhibi-
tion game b"'ween the Robins and
the Braves at West Palm Beach
last spring is typical.
BIZ rendered a decision the
Braves did not agree with and
Arthur Uevlin, one Of their coaches,

Devlin approaching, and when
Arthur was within 10 PAGES Of him
he wheeled and shouted. before the
coach could open his mouth and
in tones that could be heard all
over the park, Il said no."
DevIin stopped, hesitated a
moment and then retraced his
steps to the dugOut without

| Although many players are irked

most of hem concede him to be
the best arbiter in the league, and
secretly admire him for having

Even his bitterest enemies never
have accused him of dishonesty.
Klem's rectitude was proved be-
yond a doubt at the time of the
historic play-off game between the
Giants and the Cubs in 1908. A
gambler attempted to fix" Bill
and another umpire by the name
