Custer Abandoned

Northern Pacific railways g.
year-old Big Horn tunnel in eastern
Montana was retired" July 7
when main line operation began

Bathing Suits
Cause Crisis
In Milwaukee

MIL WiS.-DlhS d 8Oou
many other cities throughout the
United States this spring, Milwau-
kee was greatly concerned over
what constituted proper, decent
and adequate covering Of the fe-
male body"
Unlike other cities, however,
Milwaukee's concern made the
newspapers and became. in some
degree, national property.
1t all started with the request Of
Chief John w. Polcyn from the
city attorney for a ruling on what
was proper bathing attire.
Two things brought on the I'M
usual request. One, summer was
just around the corner and that
meant bathing suits of the French
type would soon appear on Milwau-
kee beaches; and two, it was antic-
ipated that competition among strip
teasers might reach a point where
Arbiter of Morals
Well, anyway, the assistant city
attorney wrote the chief an opinion
in which he suggested the man
on the street" be questioned as to
what he thinks of brevity in femme
attire.
The assistant city attorney de-
clared, 'The test must be how far
the community has gone in the &C.
ceptance of strip tease shows and
French type bathing suits"
mot wishing to set myself up as
an arbiter of morals and having
insufficient knowledge of what
norm the community has reached,
I should hesitate to give a definite
opinion on how much clothing a
woman's body should have" he
wrote.
The assistant attorney went on
to say that a model appearing be-
fore a class of art students may be
in her birthday suit, but that is
considered art.
AS to strip tease shows. he said,
the test is whether the show sis
aimed at exciting the desires of a
normal person to the point of de-
pravity."
How Moral Is Milwaukee
The chief said police had re-
ceived complaints about 'the scare
ity of clothing bordering on indie
cency worn by some female enter
%tainers."
The assistant city attorney sug-
gested that if shows appear to be
indecent, police can issue cleanup
orders backed by disorderly con
duct warrants.
But the whole problem, he re-
ported, still SINNERS down to the
question: How moral is Milwau-
kee?
''In the absence of a Statutory
definition of the word obscene we
may assume that it must mean
the present critical point in the
compromise between candor and
shame at which the community has
arrived"
Other cities throughout the coun-
try have been discussing the same
problem. A Milwaukee wit, how
ever, made light of the entire
problem with the verse:
Mother, may / go out to swim?
Yes, my darling daughter,
But check the police if you
have a whim

12.-The Ku Klux Klan was
blamed today for forcing high

performance by Graham Jackson,
Negro musician.
Both Klans operating in the
area, however, denied RESPONSE
bility.
Mr.. Jackson, a favorite of the
late President Roosevelt, now lives
in Atlanta in a reproduction of

said he received a telegram signed
by Miss Lavada Baggett, class
sponsor. saying the program had
been called off because of circum-
stances beyond our control"
Publisher Blames Klan.
The publisher of a small South
Georgia newspaper, who asked not
to be identified, said the cancella-
ton was due to intervention of
Klansmen from nearby Iron City.
He said Klansmen called on
school officials in person and
warned them not to let Mr.. Jack
son appear and that they threat
ened to boycott advertisers in the
Seminole County High School
program.
This newspaperman said he re-
ceived a card through the mail
signed by "the Citizens Commit
tee Of Seminole County," This
card, he continued. said the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Jackson would
lead eventually to a breakdown of
segregation and Negro children

"The ordinary lis volt light

Even the best wiring system
needs little attention now and

quent outside check for broken
insulators, frayed insulation, and
loose or sagging wires that may
contact trees or other obstruct-
ions. Inside buildings, defective
outlets or switches, loose con-
nections at functions, damaged
insulation or worn fixtures can
cause fire or electrical shock.
Appliance cords need frequent
attention. When defective, it's a
good idea to discard or repair
them Immediately.

Feeding Care Reduces
Sheep Disease, Loss

With increasing interest in
sheep production and a national
need for maximum increase in
number, the problem of how to
feed greatest efficiency is be-
coming more important, say D. S.
Bell, Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station animal husband
man.
Summertime feeding problems
are few because with good pas
lures, salt, and water and a
parasite control programs to go
with these, most of the nutri-
tional and health needs of sheep
are provided. During winter,
however, when ewes are preg-
nant or nursing, nutritional needs
are more critical and must be
understood and satisfied.
Some diseases are strictly
nutritional in origin; that is
they result when animals do not
get all nutrients they need. Some
of these diseases are: Pregnant
eve paralysis, calcium deficiency
goiter in the newborn lamb,
protein insufficiency, and Itiff
lamb disease, continues Bell.
At the same time, if an animal
does not get enough nutrients in
its diet, it may be so weakened

abolition of school districts which
do not, or cannot because of
limited pupil population or fin
