LONDON, April 21—'What is con
• sidered as a return to the time of
j the Blue Laws, is observed in some
German cities. In Munich, the po
1 lice have been authorized to act us
censors of women’s dress and have ;
: been ordered to arrest all women
; who at’e dressed too conspicuously.
It is said that the first victim
! of these instructions was a young j
woman who was on her way to meet ,
an officer. 5.ho was taken to the
poltye station and compelled, accord
ing to a newspaper report, to wipe
| the powder and rogue from her
fare before being permitted to leave j
the station.
In Leipzig, boys and girls under
IS years of age are prohibited to
enter restaurants and saloons ex
