Chicago, Jan. 19.--Flimsy garb of girls spells peril to the race, Dr. Clara P. Seippel, eminent woman's ~ @pecialist, yesterday.

Now we have the girl of etraight lines, not the well-proportioned girl of yeSteryear. "The girl of today, dressed in thin silk hose, short skirts and satin pumps, has no protaction against the cold. She may as well wear no- thing from the knee down: This causes the body to become frail, as the bodily heat, so necessary to pro- "per development, is dissipated. A ago girls were mutfied ears to feet, as men are today. - "The modern girl has an insati- able desire for candy. This is be- cause heat of the body is spent rap- ddly,' due to scant dress. It is nat- ure's way of trying to furnish more me for the tissues.' Dr. Seippel stated many of the ills of womankind are caused by con- _@tant exposure over a period of years. This condition is aggravated, &he said, by the present day tendency of young gins to stay out late at ight, thereby missing the rest so Mecessary to proper development. mt was reached by hinese and Japanese delegates the coal and {ron mines in isochow leasehold in Shantung bbe operated by a company to be ¢ under a special charter by @ Chinese government. eagues, i | It is expected that a decision in [the Bullock appeal will be handed {down Thursday afternoon by Hon.
