General v. Girls

School superintendents throughout Jugoslavia received, last week, a peremptory reminder from General Pera Zivkovitch, portly and bemedaled Prime Minister of Dictator-King Alexander I (TIME, Jan. 14).

"You will make no exceptions,'' ran the General's order to the superintendents, "in enforcing the inflexible rule that girls wearing short skirts or silk stockings or using either lipstick or powder are not allowed to enter any public school.''
