SOCKLESS CRAZE
DRAWS PROTESTS
HOLLYWOOD, April 10, Hollywood's bare-legged fad drew a broadside of protest today from indignant preachers and clubwomen.
"It's a disgrace—Hollywood is degenerating to a state of savagery," declared Dr. James Whitcomb Brougher, famous Baptist person.
"The movie actresses who parade the streets without stockings have exceeded the limits of decency. They should be banished to a desert island where all they need wear is shumshine and cocoanut oil."
"Fighting Bob" Shuler, noted Methodist divine, believes the film colony has gone "morally bankrupt."
"We are lowering our ideals to even notice the things that the motion picture actresses do nowadays," he said.
"They can run around without their stockings or without any clothing if they wish. But they are setting a bad example for the nation's young girls."
"It will be a shame if stockings are relegated to the same scrap heap as the corset. I wonder what they would discard next."
Mrs. Marion Whiting, prominent society and clubwoman, questions the "sanity" of women who appear on the streets without stockings.
"There must be some strange reason behind this extreme style," she said. "A track athlete removes most of his clothes for an obviously good reason. Something, perhaps the desire for advertising, has caused the actresses to appear on the streets with part of their clothing removed. It is true they are merely seeking notoriety, they are certainly acting in bad taste."
Mrs. Agnes Zucarra, another prominent clubwoman, declared she was "shocked" at the "apparent immodesty" of the screen stars. "But," she added, "the short skirt looked evil several years ago and we finally become reconciled to it."

If the fashion of going stockingless wine favor with younger women of the county we will have to accept it like we did the short skirts."
Meanwhile the no-stocking craze swept on, and it was reported that shop-girls and coeds had joined the ranks of the bare-legged on Hollywood boulevard.
This caused Mrs. Helen M. Laughlin, dean of women at the U.S.C., Southern Branch, which is situated near Hollywood, to deny that any coeds had discarded their stockings.
" Certainly, none of the university of California girls are going without hosiery." Dean Laughlin said. "They have better taste than to adopt such an extreme fid."
YORBA LINDA
YORBA LINDA, April 10. (Spl.) The petition being circulated for the merging of Ilinda and Yorba Linda elementary school districts to form a new and larger district known as "Yorbolinda" is meeting with the approval of many residents and already has a large number of signatures at the C.O.F. meeting held the middle of the week, the matter was presented by residents from Ilinda and speakers, for and against, were heard. If the union takes place, hot hplaces are in factor of remaining with the Fullerton Union high school.
If Ilinda remains with Brea, they will, of course, have to support the plan of a Brea High school district, which is what the majority of Ilinda residents seem to wish to avoid.
The matter is to be soon settled and if the petition is filled, the documents will be laid before County School Superintendent R.P. Mitchell, to take the necessary schools to merge the districts.

SPIRIT WRAPPINGS BY LOVE BLACKBIRD
MALDEN, MASS., April 10 — Strange scratching noises coming from under the floors of a dwelling house here threatened to upset the peace of the household.
At first Mr. and Mrs.Ralph B.Wilton and Mr. and Mrs.Fred King, occupants of the apartment house, were mildly curious when they heard the strange noises. When the scratching continued for several days, however, nerves began to fray.
King decided to brave the unknown "spook" and ripped up several floor boards.
Out popped a big blackbird, blinking his jetty eyes as though dazed by the sudden return to sunlight. How the bird got under the floor could not be explained.
It is fine to suffer for others except when your wife's conscience hurts you.
