, CHICAGO BEACH SIGHTS '-
OUTRIVAL ATLANTIC CITY'S.
Chicago, Aug. 28. Some of the
sights you can see on the Chicago
( bathing beaches almost any day can
not oe reproduced . m me i.mcago
theaters on films, unless the proprie
tors want to go to"1 jail. The city
board, whose job is censoring moving
pictures, gasped in. horror and turn
ed thumbs down on a movie film tak
n at a North Shore beach, where the
elite are supposed to get their re?re
atim. ' ? : t
! "Nay, nay!" cried the horrified an
rs, as theysaw tKrAmr$n the fen
sci screen scopes t pictures of
shao!ely feminine bathers in suits
that accentuated rather than hid the
comelinessi ind curves o .the , fair
bather. JfjfaW them Way.? TKose
girls are hot pror.ei iy 'clad and jnsny
of the poSes are, too shocking "foi
words."
And so the films were deported.
But the film companies have decided
to take their "chances with tho cen
sors of other cities. In the mean
time no one has put a ban on the
bathing girls whose scantily clad fig'
ures wefe filmed.
EAT WEEDS THE CRY
IF MEAT'S TbO HIGH,
Chicago, Aug. 27. If porterhouse
steak at 45 cents a pound hurts your
pecketbook, go out in the alley and
eat a few weeds. Mrs. W. K. Jac
ques does it, likes it, and advises alf
others who are haunted by the H.
C. of L. ghost to follow suit.
"There are ten weeds, all edible,
that can be used for food," volunteer
ed Mrs. Jacques when the protest
against the "war measures" taken by
the packers in the shape of advanc
inir meat nrices reached its heiirht,
"These are the dock, nettle sorrell
pursiane, milkweed, dandelion, pig
weed, lamb's quarter, marsh mari
gold and brake fe;n. ,
'"They all make excellent greens,
and they are very nourishing. The
Chinese are so fond of purslane that
tney plant it in their gardens. At
my own farm, near South Haven,
Mich., I encourage all the weeds to
giov.. They arc not only good to
eat, nut they produce a most artistic
elfect. Improvement associations
make a great mistake when they at
tack weeds just because they are
weeds."
