DESIRES LOOK INTO THE PAST Old-T imer Wants Clock Turned Back also Old-Tiro Styles The following poem was discovered among a lot of old papers by a Mau pin man, who .had transcribed it many years ago. It was given to u'. and we publish it as the desire of some who are against the prevailing :hort hair and short skirt styles: Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight, Give ur. a maiden whose skirts are not tight. Give us a girl whose charms, may be few, Are not expored by much Jeek-a-boo. Give us a maiden, no matter what "?e, Who won't use the street for a vaude ville stage; Give us a girl so sharply in view, Dress her in skirts that the sun won't shine through. And give us the dance of days long gone by. With plenty of clothes and steps not so high. And turkey trot capers and butter milk glide-, And hurdy-gurdy twist and wiggle tail elide. Then let us feast our tirpd optics once more On a genuine women, as cweet as of yore ; Yes, Time, please turn backward and grant our request For God's richest blersing, but not one undressed.

The Electric Sun employed Henry J. Bivalve, C. P. A., (Clamgrowers Protective Association) to make, a thorough investigation of the lead ing restaurants (and some that are not leading.) In ' 530 plates of chowder he found no clams. In 264 plates he discovered traces of clams. In 128 plates there were one-half clam in each plate and in one plate he actually found one clam. Incidentally many of the portions sampled contained chopped white rubber bands and one even contain ed a synthetic clam made of gela tine and dress shields. The re. tsurant in which the one clam was found in the chowder, is now out of business. We stand squarely for federal control of chowder and for rigid enforcements of three clams per chowder as a minimum. Write to you congressman at oiice. or call a cop.
