10 THE OREGON STATESMAN; SALEM, OREGON, , WEDNESDAY-r.MQRNING FEBBUABY 1, 1928 IE ra Order Now Reversed; 'Street m Sweepers' Said Injur ious To Health Long skirts for women. "stret wepers," as they were called, were the bane of mrr 25 years In almost erery paper conld be found articles condemning, the lengthy apparel and the only ones. Apparently, who favored It were the cloth manufacturers and the women themselves. "If women ofily realized the dis astrous results to their health and that of their posterity, of fads and fashions and especially feminine vanity," they would certainly turn over a new leaf," opined one edi tor. The editor attacked the long fkirt on two grouDds s a bear er of bacteria, a tut ' as apparel which strained the ligaments. Finally, the editor appealed to feminine vanity. "I often wonder," he wrote, "how the women would feel if they tould see the masculine smiles nd hear the remarks that follow in the wake of a flowing train or street sweeper as It Is called for woman is surely not imper vious tonhe approbation of the lord of creation." v "The skirt Is indeed a MiionV question and one that ahowa lime Indication of eolntlonrThe whoie -question rests solely, on -woman's realization of the evil." The Westminister Gazette of England printed the following poem In an Issue of February, 1903: Mode of woman's attire Skirt, skirt, skirt Mod of woman's attire In it she walks with footsteps trite Picking up dust and mire. Sweep, sweep, sweep Through filth and flood and dirt; It neejds must be, 'tis fashion's decree! So she trails the trail of the skirt.
