ENGLISH VIEWS.
Angus Hamilton, the English war
correspondent, who was In the field
with the Turklbh army during the
first part of the Balkan war, depicts
the "unspeakable Turk" as an entire
different person than he Is generally
considered to be In this country. Di
restly contrary to the prevalent Ini-
allles.
Accordln f.o the English war cor
.n,in the Turks were utterly

tit garlans had prepared for many years

I spite the handicap of numbers and
the inefficiency of the soldiers equip
ment, he declares they fought, with
wonderful bravery. Often, be said,
they went hungry Into battle, and
against Insurmountable odds.
Firm in the belief that the Asiatic
never will be fitted for self-govern-merit,
Mr. Hamilton blames much of
the seeming decadence of Turkey to
the voun Turks. This same unflt-
pression in America, Mr. Hamilton
declares the Turkish rule In Europe npM ,or a rfpuollcan form of govern-
has not been marked by atioot'cs.
And, as between the various peoples
who have been making war on the
. Turk, and the latter, he prefers the
Mohammedan.

long discussion of world centi,, snld

BKUIWTISG FASHION BT LAW

The Ohio legislature bas tackled a
life-sized job and bas put Itself on
record as being the 'most courageous
and erckless legislature extant In
this country. A bill which has been
preented and will probably be pas
sed provides for a commission of
three 1o be appointed by the governor
to pressrlbe the fashions to be worn
by the women of Ohio. The legisla
ture deuounces peek-a-boo shirt,
waists, peek-a-boo stockings and pro
poses in future to regulate the out
texture and degree of transparency of
all clothing worn by Ohio women.
Particularyl Is the tight skirt to
be attacked. It bas been denounied
as a peril to the morality of the coun
try. The new commission will "fix
limits of the decollete effects in
gowns, so that not more than two
Inches of the neck below the chin
shall show." - All skirts much leach
to the instep.' '
If Ohio women are like other wo
men, and doubtless they are, the leg
Islature Is going to have Its troubles.
Down In lios Angeles the city council
prohibited the hatpin, but the hatpin
has survived and women wno never
wore them before began wjarlng
them as soon as the law waa parsed.
In Massachusetts an anti-hat pin law
has been passed with about similar
effect. The law of fashion will pre
dominate over the law of the stale of
Ohio beyond the preadventure of a
doubt. .The skirts In Ohio will be
tighter, If possible.' The waists
