SHORT SKIRTS
CAUSE SLUMP

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. "a,
Women's skirt lengths, blamed
for many things, are held to be
largely contributory to the bust
ness depression by DR.. Francis j.
Tyson, professor of economics at
the University of Pittsburgh.
Trade Hard Hit
Speaking before the Young
Mems Christian Association, he
said women's styles and uncer-
tain skirt lengths have upset the
garment trade.
He said:
'The garment industry is the
supreme illustration of seasonal
unemployment. The garment
industry never can be Stabi-
lized, despite the efforts of
Ruth Hanna Mccormick and
other leaders of wealth and
position.
Sees Future Trouble
"UnleSs there Is wide
spread feminist movement to
wear standardized tailored gar
mentS, unless all women get
together and decide whether
skirts were going to be up or
down and permanently, this
and allied industries always will
have seasonal depression.

moved Harold G.. Hoffman, motor

have recently adopted such a
law and New York and Illinois
are considering similar action.
Mr.. Hoffman said:

also operators of cars, believe
the charge of manSlaughter is

luctant to indict or convict.

That's how a hero felt as he,

basement after four bandits, and
armed only with a nightstick.
A Small Fellow
Gallagher is five feet seven

weighs 100 pounds. These are
minimum figures for police eligi-
bility.
Police Commissioner Mulrooney
sent word he would like to see
Gallagher today. Gallagher said
he would rather remain in uni
form than be promoted to the
detective division.
Peewee was passing as four
men fled from the drugstore of
Samuel Perlmutter, 314 Ninth
Ave., with $88. They leaped into
taxi.
Gallagher Communicated an
other. He fired 20 shots. The
men ran into a basement at
Tenth Avenue and Twenty-second
Street.

Peewee plunged in after them.
1t was then he found his gun
was empty.
