A legislative effort to curb the

the next Congress, it was learned
today.

The tremendous development
Of chain stores, the growth of

increase in the number of bill
lionaires has alarmed not only
the progressives but many con-
servative leaders. Even Senator

Government would have to check
the amazing concentration Of

In a speech before the Mary

Here You Are Again!

Again the issue of short skirts is raised. FLAP
pers" says the Associated Press ARE responsible
for some unemployment" Which it explains as
the gist of speech by Miss Frances Perkins.
New York State Labor Commissioner, at the
home of Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt.
The lady labor commissioner commended that
garment workers instead Of catering to youth
full demands for the latest modes, should heed
the average middle aged woman, and they'd
have business at normal pace throughout the
year"
Evidently the lady labor commissioner Is her
self middle aged If not average" but what we
wanted to note was that Miss Perkins ideas
match nicely into the Trotskyite theory of the
economic crisis recently revealed in this column.
with the single difference that the Trotskyites
claim the long skirt caused the crisis while the
lady commissioner thinks it is the short skirt.

Coroner William B. Gibson, presid-

caused by drowning, committed by
some person or persons unknown.
The decision was given following

District Attorney Alexander Blue
OF Suffolk county had expressed
little interest in the trip, however,
and was inclined to believe that the
men, DR.. Leslie Richie and his son,
were not connected with the case.
Dr. McAuliffe, in response to
Questioning by the district at
torney tCday, laid particular en-
phasis on the skull fractures which
Ceilings received at the hands of
his assaiants.
In his opinion he said, Ceilings
would have bene unable to speak

vealed by the autopsy, he said.
Although the immediate cause of
death was drowning, as shown by
water in the lungs, Ceilings prob
ably would have died anyway from

testified.

MEETS ELKS FOR LAST
 CAME OF YEAR
Moose Hope for Chance as Title Rests on Vic-
 tory by Veterans

For the last time this season on the regular schedule, the Elks and American Legion clubs in the City League are slated to do battle. Up- on the outcome of the game rests the Moose hope for a chance to enter the Little Worlds Series.
 If the Elks win, there will be no need for post-season schedule as they will then have sewed up the second half championship. They also won the first half, and their victory in the final section would automatically give them the 1881 title without playoff with any club.
 But if the Veterans are able to turn back the Bills, the Moose still will have slim chance to go into post season series. It would give them a chance to tie the Elks for the final half title, forcing a playoff for that, then, by winning it, Little Worlds Series.
 The Elks have won eight and lost two games, and tied once, with the Moose. The Moose have won five, lost four and have two tie games, the second dogfall being with the Vets. If the Vets should win tonight, and the Moose take the three games they would then have. to play, the two lodge clubs would be tied with eight wins and four losses each.
 The Elks probably will work Jimmy Manning on the mound again tonight. Although he work ed 12 innings Sunday, the rest has been sufficient for him. Coughlin will work behind the bat Pete Schmitz probably will hurl for the Vets, Ellis may have to do the re- ceiving as Blake, his regular back stop, left for the south Monday. The game starts at 6:3o pm.
