"Government troops are leaving

Bishop O Shea's telegram has been

"Conditions are uncertain. At

Merchan ts Puzzled
As To Skirt Lengths
Preferred By Women
With the descent of the
women's dresses are coming down. How fast they are com
ing down, how far they are coming down, and if they will
fluctuate as does the tl.erraometer,
ts a question which is being debated
not only on street corners and at
smart teas, but by a class or peopi.
who are vitally interested finan
cially in Just what the women are
going to do the managers of the
various department stores and spe
cialty shops in Salem.
"Say. if you can tell me exactly
what the women are going to wear
this winter and next spring and
summer. I'll give you a thousand
dollars." said B. E. Sisson, manager
of Miller's store in despair. ."What
dresses do you see on the street?
Short dresses, of course. And yet
the girls are buying long dresses
for afternoon, and the evening
gowns are very long. When the
Literary Digest devotes two whole
pa?es in one of its issues to the
subject of hemlines, and illustrates
it with cartoons and pictures, It
means that the interest in the new
styles la nation wide. But that
doesn't say what the women are
going to wear next year. It looks
to me like the wholesaler is going
to skin the retailer both going and
coming . . . caught him with a lot
of short dresses, and then stock him
up with long dresses, and catch
him again when the style changes.
What are the women going to wear
next summer? I don't know. Yes.
we're buying the long dresses. The
women are asking for them; but
I notice we sell a short dress for
every long one. It seems to be
fifty-fifty."
J E. Law, manager of the U. O.
Shipley store, is positive that long
dresses are here to stay, to remain
long even after the thermometer
ascends in the tube. And he is not
only convinced that the long hem
lines will be here for several years.
but that the style is most attractive
and sensible. "Why, women we
couldn't get to consider a long-
skirted frock a month ago are in
here now and won't even notice the
few short skirted ones. All our
new stock has the long, irregular
hemline, four inches and below the
knee for afternoon frocks, very long
for evening wear, and from two to
four inches below for street and
sport wear.
"If youTI notice, it's the girls
who a year ago wouldn't be seen
in dresses longer than three inch
es above the knee cap who are now
appearing in the sensationally long
skirts. There are always some peo
ple who have to go to the extremes.
But I think it would be a relief
to the women themselves not to
have to pull their dresses over
their knees every time they sit
down. I've noticed the change in
demand for the long dresses just
during the past fortnight, and I
think Salem women have accepted
the new styles enthusiastically.
"We still have the short dress
for the small or short woman"
said Miss Sophie Kafoury at Ka
foury's store. "But the long dresses
are the most popular. Personally, I
think the medium length dresses
are both sensible and becoming. I
think from the length of dresses
now that women are suiting the
hemline to their own individual
type, with the result that styles
will be the most charming and in
dividualistic they have ever been.
The sport dresses and street dress
es are having stright hemlines, with
drapes or circular pieces in the
skirt, but the afternoon frock and
evening gowns are as fussy as
fussy can be.
"I can tell you exactly what the
spring dresses are going to be,"
said Mrs. Dena Mack, of Mack's
specialty shop. "The sport frocks
are going to be two Inches below
the knee cap. made with a straight
hemline, either pleated or plain.
The afternoon frocks are going to
be four inches below the knee cap.
with the more formal frocks very
long with some part of the skirt
raised higher. The evening frocks
are extremely long. And the waist
line is wherever it happens to suit
.the style of the frock; either the
wide girdle, placed from the hips
up to the normal waistline, the
princess or the silhouette waitline,
which is very popular for the af
ternoon gowns. And that's what the
frocks are for the late winter and
will be for the early spring."
WEALTHY WIDOWS
ON MM LIST
Wida-A-s cf wealthy men comprise
the largest single "sucker list" in
the United States and are ready
victims of unworthy enterprises,
Albert L. Gruetz. of the Title &
Trust company, of Portland, told
the Rotary club Wednesday noon
in speaking on wills and estates.
Men may have full ccnlidcnce in
their wives, but it Js sui prising the
general incompetence they show
when It cones to administering
the affairs of an estate or in mak
ing safe investment, he said.
Wills are the oldest known docu
ments and alio the rr1at important
signed by man. Gruels declared.
It is more the duty of the owner of
a small estate to make a will than
it is for a larger estate. Trust
companies are today taking the
place of the individual executor or
trustee and are characterized by
their permanence. exp2: ience and

BULL OF STONE
FROM ASSYRIA
FORCHIGAGO
Chicago (n One guardian to "the
gateway ot ancient Assyrian splen

40 ton stone bull has spanned civi
lization to rest in the museum of
the new oriental institute of the
University of Chicago.
Tl.e bull, unearthed last spring In
the palace ruins at Khorsabad, As
syria, has Just arrived on the Uni
versity campus In a shipment ot
relics which includes 125 tons of
frelze work from the corridors of
Sargon's palace, three mammoth
slabs of wall relief, and relief por
trait of sargon, Unuelf, in heroic
size.
Professor Edward Chiera, who
headed the expedition which un
earthed the ruins, said the bull was
used by Sargon to impress his pow
er upon envoys from tributary re
gions. It measures 17 to 18 feet.
The relics are said to be some of
the most beautiful examples of As
syrian art -yet discovered.
An improvised winch' and a three
ton truck were enough to trundle
the bull from the palace site to the
Tigris river but it was necessary to
route the stone mass on a 1500 mile
circuitous journey from New York
to Chicago because the flat car on
which the body section was loaded
could not pass through the regular
tunnels.
