T THEY (Continued from Page 1) apt to wear extreme clothes than any other type, so there is no connection between crime or at least getting caught and extremes in wearing apparel. Probably the women as a whole will wear these abbreviated clothes until they conclude they'll make more of a hit wearing, something else." MRS. CHESTER FRAZER. proprietor of The Vogue, said: "There is going to be lots of fussiness and the skirt length is going to be about the same for afternoon and street wear. Evening gowns will be longer. They will be short in front and quite long in the back." MRS. L. G. CURTIS, 24 S Myers street, said: "Well, I hope they don't get any shorter and I hope they don't get real long again. I think about 12 Inches from the ground is a good length, then they are not too short and they are not so I long that they drag In the dirt, r I don't think they will ever ret eo long again. I like the me. dium short skirt, AARON A STILL, of the A. A. Clothing store, said: "I think they are bound to change, for feminine styles go from one extreme to the other. Skirts will be longer. They are wear ing them noticeably longer in California, especially San Fran cisco. They are wearing skirts much longer in Paris." JOHN SUNDIN, local tailor, aaid: "Women's styles, may go up or they may go down. Wo cannot do anything about It. New York predicts that they are going up." EARL PAULSEN, mortician connected with the Clough-Hus-ton parlors, said: "Styles as they are right now suit me'per fectly and I hope they remain as they are but I know they won't."

The trouble with this system of collecting for weed cutting done by city employes, is that the lien gets on the books and stays there.

(AP) Ef forts to drag the United States in to discussions of the Rhineland occupation were frowned on to day in public statements by Chan cellor Mueller of Germany. He said that the Germans wish ed to avoid, above all, any sem blance of a "united front" against America by linking Interallied debt and reparations with the eva cuation of the Rhineland. He explained that Germany hoped, before the end of next week, to attend- a conference or delegates representing, countries which have troops In the Khhie land. Such a conference, he said, would include Italy, despite the fact that there are no Italian troops of occupation. Chancellor Mueller recalled that foreien minister Briand had de clined to discuss the withdrawal of troops without the participation of other interested nations. For this reason he supposed that the French government would take the initiative in summoning a con ference. He sad that if the question of reparation payments had been raised in connection with evacua tion he would insist on the fixa tion of a lump sum to be paid by Germany. Credited to ttiis total, he declared, must be those pay ments in kind alrea? made, such as ships and Saar valley coal.

The argument was settled by the court ruling that "scandal ous" testimony concerning Mrs. Melius' habHs would not be per mitted. During the argument the defense attorney revealed that his case would be based on an alleg ed fall suffered by Mrs. Melius in the summer of 1926, in which Hahn told the court she sustained a gash that necessitated medical treatment, and that a similar fall a few days before her death caus ed the injury to her head which contributed to her death. Defense Gets Started -The court's ruling of the after noon session prevented the defense calling witnesses to testify to such circumstances also, the court holding that no evidence had been submitted to show that Mrs. Mel ius sustained any such fall or In jury just previous to her , death, but that testimony had been giv en showing that she suffered a head injury from a violent blow and that the defendant had ad mitted beating the woman.

"Don't let them fool you," he declared, "they cannot amend the constitution as congress is consti tuted. ' Both democrats and re publicans in my state endorse the prohibition law and that is true of many states. I believe in a prosecuting attorney who enforc es the law.

(AP) Prohibition and farm relief and not the religious question, no mat. ter how much talk there may be about it are the two big issues in the presidential campaign, John J. Raskob, democratic na tional chairman, declared at na tinal headquarters here today. "I dislike to recognize as fact that the American people are making religion the issue of this campaign," he said. "I don't be lieve they are. I think the so called religious issue is being greatly exaggerated, largely on account of the publicity it has re ceived. "I think the efforts of those en gaged in a vicious campaign of religious bigotry will have ceased to be effective long before elec tion day. It is difficult to conceive of the American people being in fluenced by propaganda tending toward spreading religious hatred hatred of any kind, particularly religious hatred.
