PARIS, December 5.—Blase Paris, which has the reputation of having looked upon more nudity on the stage than any other city in the world, has ruled that wom- ‘an athletes must wear more clothes. It has been the custom in Parls and other cities of France for woman and girl athletes to hold parades in the streets in their ath- letic costumes. Runners in run- ning trunks, javelin and weight throwers with arms bare to the shoulders, broad jumpers in spiked shoes with only short socks barely covering the ankles were features of these processions’ The French Feminine Federation of Gymnastics and Physical Edu cation has placed a ban against similar displays in the future. It recently issued this edict: “The wearing of loose running trunks and tights, while necessary for woman athletes competing in stadiums, appears to be unbecoming while parading on the streets, and henceforth members of this fed- eration must wear short skirts on such occasions as their clubs are called upon to parade through the streets.” “Tiger of France” By the Associated Press. ports that George gation disclosed the vigorous and Sodin s City Uses Rainwater Only.
