Official approval encourages women
to don the short skirt. The State
Board of Health of Connecticut,
through its secretary, DR.. @. A. Lind
ley, describes long skirts on the streets
as pickers Of fifth. The short skirt is
especially commended to teachers as
guarantee to that extent that microbes
Will not be swept by 1t from the thor
oughfares into the schoolroom. Not for
teachers only but for all women is the
short skirt to be commended for out
doors. Its advantages are many. 1t
enables woman to walk more freely,
throwing her shoulders back, keeping
her hands and arms for defense in case
of attack or accident and at the same
time protecting her from ENHANCEMENT
In wheels OF other distractions in case
OF runaways. For this reason me iron
tradition of the long trained saddle
gown has been broken. That tradition
sacrifices more lives among women
riders than all other causes Of horse
back fatalities. The hygienic virtues
of the short skirt are so obvious that
tney need no recapitulatiOn. Even on
the dry and clean walks of private
grounds and dwellings trailing skirt
Is liable to garner microscopic germs.
The dust of city finds its way
through the closest doors and windows
and burrows with its pests in carpets.
For city streets the long skirt is an
amazing sign of stupidity on the part
of the wearer. The hour may arrive
when ordinance will forbid crossing
sweeping by textures certain to trans
port danger from ordure and sputa into
public halls, churches and schools to
the peril Of humanity. 1t is perversely
claimed by some too fanatical oppo-
nents of the common-sense skirt that
all women wear the short skirt out
doors now except those whose feet are
not properly shod or are otherwise I'M
presentable. This is clearly SANDER.

Man Died from Expo,ure.

A strange man by the name of Bert
Church died at Morbonia hospital, Dav-
export, as the result of exposure. He was
found unconscious in the city cemetery
about week before. He had been seen
staggering about that vicinity for several
days, but those who saw him thought he
was intoxicated and paid no attention to
him. 1t developed that his system was
full OF typhoid germs, but this was dis
covered when it was too late to help him.
1t is thought that the man tramped from
Cedar Rapids. He formerly lived at
Dixon, iowa, where he had family. He
was separated from them, however.

Profit f,on, Cows.

1t is estimated that the cost of coS
for one year for food alone Is abou,
$25, says the Farniers' Journal. Thh
amount she must return to her owner
before she can make any profit, and
yet there will remain the cost of the
labor and shelter, for which she will
pay with the manure, as it possessed
value, as well as tho milk. If TIL
farmer cannot get enough from the Govt
to pay for the food she eats he will
keep her at a loss. At $25 per year
the cost is about cents per day. The
price Of the milk in market will deter.
mine the value Of the COW. If she pro.
duces $500 quarts Of milk in a year,
the cost of each quart will be reduced.
All cows cannot be kept for one year
at SO low cost, but rs there must be
an expense for the COW whether she
proves valuable or not, the dairyman
should seek the best. in order to reduce
the cost.

Action In the Case of George f. Cripps
of New Haven,

New York Dec. 6.-At the meeting of
the board of contest of the National
Trotting association to-day the board
refused to renew the temporary rein
statement of George F. Cripps of New
Haven, Conn, who was expelled several
years ago for entering a horse named
Yaler Girl under the name of Lucy NJ.
In the case of the National Trotting as
sociation vs. George F. Cripps of New
Haven, and George D. Rinker of In
dianapolis, and the bay mare Belle
Mine, formerly Surprise, 2:161a, Rinker
was expelled and the mare suspended
until the unlawful winnings of the
mare are refunded for proper distribu-
ton and the recording fee of $50 for
changing the name of the horse is paid.
The case against Cripps was filed away
as the board had already refused to re-
new his temporary reinstatement.
