' SHORT
t ,,. The subject of women's short dresses still comes in for
much discussion in and out of the newspapers. Many per
sons, both women and men, seem to be convinced that they
are improper. It often seemed in the past, as if the women
had handicapped themselves terribly for ac,tive work, by
the old custom of wearing long skirts. How they ever could
get around in such messy garments has been a mystery to
the men, who would have as soon consented to wear a heavy
pack on their backs. ' Any -custom that is thus contrary to
: nature, and to the free use of the human body, cah hardly be
considered necessary for reasons of propriety. Our notions
of what is proper or improper need to be considerably mod
ified by the demands of health, comfort, and convenience.
However, the tendency of both women and men to follow
like sheep after the arbiters of fashion is something amaz
ing. The men can',t say . much, considering the servility
with which they follow the latest styles which prescribe a
form of uniform for them. Still in the main, the men can
Jiot be driven by the style masters beyond a certain point,
fhe women, in1 spite of their vaunted independence, are a
jittle more submissive on this point. If those mysterious
forces that establish fashions in Paris, London,' or else
where, should order them to wear dresses, down to the
ground again, they might do so. The short skirt style has
made all kinds of havoc in the textile business, and the mak
ers of such material no doubt would like to persuade the
women to return to the former styles to some extent. ' Yet
one would guess that the younger women, who have exper
ienced tho comfort of less restricting garments, will hardly
return to tho long skirts without a hard fight. '

' 'v For the second time in its political history the state of
Illinois has seen its purchased choice for United States senator-
'rejected by the senate.,- ;t)enied,l by a-vote of 48 to 33,
the privilege, of taking the oath of office, Frank L. Smith
now awaits only the formal verdict on! the slush fund alleged
to -have procured his election before being turned back to
the' commonwealth that failed to profit by the senate's evic
tion, a few years ago of his -predecessor, William Lorimer.
The fate of Smith and Lorimer, as well as the forced resig
nation of Newberry of Michigan, proves that the senate will
maintain tho integrity of its personnel at all times and that
- it is absolutely futile for any state to elect to that body any
person backed by a huge sum of money, and especially money
contributed by personally interested corporations. The sen
ate's action in the Smith case may be taken as an accurate
forecast of the fate awaiting Vare of Pennsylvania and
probably Gould of Maine, as well, although the hitter's case
is not quite analagous to those of the others. , Party control
and prestige may suffer for the time being by senatorial
1 house-cleanings, but in the end both the senate and tho party
are gainers and most assuredly the nation is better satisfied.

worth.

.This department of moral uplift and cleanliness has al
ways been a strong advocate of the Satiddy, night bath but
now comes one of our prominent citizens to take issue with
us on the question, quoting no less authority than the good
ol' Queen Elizabeth herself. The followin' astoundin' infor
mation from a gossip sheet of the time of the dame says,
"The Queen hath built herself a bath, where she doth bathe
herself once a month,; whether she require it or no." So
there, from now on let your conscience be your guide.
Heck Baker, Omar's little boy, purchased some chuck for his cows
this week and a near-sighted clerk gave him a batch of egg food mash.
Heck fed it to his cows before he realized the mistake and now he's
lookln' for a chaser for the brutes. We suggest a shot of moonshine
as it doesn't go so bad in an egg-nog.

I curt hear parents say, "Jtiiit

OUR CONVERSATION CORNER
. Tit for Tat
Johnny, ago five, was building
a skyscraper out of his blocks.
Along comes Klstor Susan, aged
four, and knocks them over.
Thoreupon Johnny steps on Iho
I'aco of Susan's doll. Such events
are a common occurence in out
household. Is this the normal con
duct ot children?
Young Motlier.
Answer Are you provoked by
the quarrel or by the noise they
make In quarrelling. As Kruest
Abbott puis It, "The trouble with
us pretentious grown-ups is that
usually when we undertake to stop
a quarrel bcause it Is disturbing
we elude ourselves into thinking
wo have some high moral purpose."
Punishment In tho particular case
you cite should bo on the basts
of lack of courtesy and not on that
of lighting. Tho conduct Bmt'ly
Is not nhucvmal.

I.lltio Ksther was witnessing
for the first time a eat carrying
a kitten by tho nape of the nock.

good shako, then said: "You're not
fit to be a mother. You're hardly
fit to bo a father!"

undoubtedly you are familiar with
this quotation from Ruskin:

youths the shapes of letters and
the tricks of uumbors and then
leaving them to turn their arithme

to lust." . ' '

education, to books only. But lot
Kuskln speak again for: me. 1
' '''It would be part of my scheme
of. physical education that every
youth in the state-'-from the
King's son .'downward' - should
learn to do something finely and
thoroughly with Ills hands, so as
to let him know what touch meant;
and what stout craftsmanship

and to Inform him of many

ling off a" plank, ' or draw a fineH
curve without' faltering, or lay a
brick level in its mortar, and has'1
learned a multitude of other mat-.
ters which no lips of man could
ever teach him. . He might choose
his craft, but, whatever, it was,
he should learn it to 'some suf
ficient degree of true dexterity."
Even book diploma fellows get in

LaBarba Risking
Title Tonight in
BoutWith Clark
(Associated Tress Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. Elky
Clark, bristling little Scotch cham
pion of European flyweights, will
trade punohes tonight with Fidel
LaBarba, king pin of the worlds
112 pounders, in the first interna
tional title match of 1927. The
bout is scheduled for 12 rounds at
Madison Square Garden.
Speed and hitting power have
made .the 21-yonr-old Californiau a
2 to 1 favorite despite Clark's long
record of knockouts among 1-Ju-rope's
little men. The Invader,
who seeks world honors at the ago
of 29, has floored 20 opponents in
10 battles staged over a period of
five years. Both champion and
challenger employ an aggressive
Btyle. ,
Clarke, accustomed to 0-rotmd
matches In Europe, is considered at -a
handicap over the 12-round route,
where Ial)arba's speed is expect
ed to pile up a lhrge margin of
points in tho early rounds. The
bout will start at 10 p. m.
SCOT VS. FILIPINO
NEW YORK, Jan. 21. A wee
fighting man rfom Scotland, Elky
Clark, will try tonight to take
Great Britain its first world
championship since the days of
Jimmy Wilde, the "mighty atom."
Clark, holder of tho European fly
weight, meets Fidel, world cham
pion from California, In a 12-round
fray for tho crown at Madison
Square.
Clark must match the ring sag
acity of a scarred veteran at a
speed and confidence of youth In
his quest for world honors. A 112
pound Scotchman, who won his ti
tle from Francois Morracconchl, of
France, in a 20-rou'nd engagement
at London In Octcber, 1926, Is
now 29 years old. Labarba Ib
' scarcely 21.
Clark bases his hopes of victory
on furious hitting power. - lie ha3
scored 20 knockouts in 40 profes
sional bouts. The Callfornian,
however, because of his greater
speed and sharp punching, has
been made a 2 to 1 favorite.
Clark's chance of carrying the ti
tle back to Britain would be great
er, experts believe, it the bout
were of 15 -rounds or roor.
