maidens offer themselves up as willing sacrifices
 The shoplifter is another nat ural and direful result of thls mania for dress. The woman who can screw no other penny out of her hard-worked husband, and vet who is bound to have things drifts naturally and inevitably into being a thief.
 What is the remedy for this: The reform must start at the ton. The women of means and position must realize that they are their poorer sisters keepers They must moderate theif ex- travagance and set an example of simpler and saner living.
 Mothers must teach their dau- ghters that there is something higher and better in life than the mere adorning of their bodies that there are wOrthieI ambl- tions than to have the biggest peach-basket hat and the most skin-tight skirt on the market and that her human intelligence was given to woman for some other purpose than to devote to a study of clothes.
 Girls must be brought up to dress themselves neatly, taste fully and attractively but in strict accordance with their means and not t ofeel that their entire happiness depends upon possessing gowns and ornaments that they have no business to ev- en think of ever owning.
 Men, who after all are the chief sufferers from WOmen's eX- travagance and obsession a. bout dress should show women that they admire them for sOme- thing better than their style or looks.
 It is idle for men to rail at wO- mans love of dress when they single out the lady in the Paris confection for their attentions and pass over the girl in the homemade frOck.
 The overdressed, fashion-mad woman of today who is ready to commit crime to gratify her
 vanity is one of the menacing figures of our time. What are we going to do about her?

STARK HAVING MAD
 ABOUT CLOTHES The Present Fashion Situation Causes Alarm by Those Who See the
 Trend of Affairs.
BY DOROTHY NIX

Anybody who follows the dai- ly papers must have been appal- led at the number of cases of shoplifting that have been re- ported of late
 Almost every day we read of women, handsomely dressed well educated and bearing every mark of gentle and refined life about them, who are arrested in the stores for stealing,
 Evidently these women are not in want. They have not been driven to become thieves by cold or hunger, They are simply stealing to gratify their desire for more tinery than their means afford. They become criminals inals for the paItry sake of the newest fluffy ruffles in meek wear or a pair of silk stockings
 Nor is thiss hooking moral de- cadence of women confined to New York. In Chicago the same conditions prevail, and since the beginning of the year Il prepos- sessing and refined looking wo- men have been sentenced for burglary, not to mention a large number who were arrested and got off easily because it was their first offense. The situation in St. Louis is not so bad.
 The Chicago women criminals were exactly the type of those in New York. They were well-to do-looking women, who had stol- en for no other reason than the love of dress. Commenting on this one of the police officials sad:
 ''l think l can see how a wo- man of limited means is prompt ed tC steal or commit robbery by the desire to adorn herself.
 Dress has come, to be a large part of a wOman's life. She knows that if she cannot dress as we'll as her friends she wid fall behind socially Hence she is determined to look just as pretty as her neighbor and will dress if she has to steal for it.
 Then there is the rivalry a. mong pretty women in respect to men. If two women are bidd-

ing for the favor of one man they know that the one who can make herself look the prettiest will win in the contest for his heart
 Undoubtedly this is a true and a just explanation of the in crease of the crime of shOplifting but it is one that does little honor to wOmen's intelligence or their morals.
 It is a discouraging thing to think the femine brain is so fee ble a thing that it can take pleas ure in dishonesty acquiring gee gawS and that the feminine prin- ciple is so weak that it cannot resist the temptation of stealing to get a coveted ribbon.
 Certainly however, this wave of pilfering among women is enough to make women of high charac- ter and good sense stop and ask themselves wtither their sex is drifting in it's mad adora tiOn of fashion and it's craze for dress.
 There is no way to blink the fact that at the present mom- ent women are stark raving mad about clothes and the mania grows with each succeeding year.
 Every season garments grow richer and more expensive; ev- cry season there is a wilder and and more insane struggle for grOtesque novelties and every sea son women think more and talk more about dress and it seems more important to them to have the latest thing.
 There was a time when the Wo- man in moderate circumstances did not expect to make herself a living fashion plate, nor to a. dOrn herself in the clothes of the millionaires That time is past.
 Today the shop girl. the wife of a poor clerk breaks her heart 1T she cannot have hand mbroid- cry anu ermine and jewels, like the rich woman. and life be- comes to her a frantic struggle to get them.
 Honestly she often cannot, sc dishonesty she, often does. Half Ol the domestic misery and di- Vorces in this country are the dir ect result of wives love of dress. They run their husbands in debt Tor clothes beyond their means they keep the poor men slaving t Oprovide for their eXtravagant needs and they drive men to drlnk oy their complaints and lamentatlonS over the finery that they crave and cannot have
 Many a man becomes an em- beZZler tC pay his wire's dress maker anC millinery bills. Many a home has all of his sweetness an upeace slain by a woman's ceaceless demand for more clothes.
 1t is also notoriously true. that most of the girls who go wrong are led astray by their desire for finery and not by some man.
 It is a terrible thing that a young woman should be willing to sell her soul for a few yards Of chiffon and a string of pearls but you have only to walk up and down our streets, or sit in any theatre or restaurant to see how often it is done,

STORM STAYS SEARCH
TWENTY-FIVE MISSING FROM
LAKE FERRYBOAT.
Little Doubt Felt That ALI Have
Perished-Gales Keep Rescuers
in Port.

ERIE, Pa, December 13.-It became
known today that thirty-eight persons in
stead of thirty-two left Conneaut, Ohio.
last Tuesday morning aboard the car
ferry Marquette and Bessemer No. ,.
which met with disaster In the terrific
storm that has prevailed over Lake Erie.
Nine of this number, all frozen to death,
were picked up yesterday in one of the
ferry's yawls. The fate of the remaining
twenty-nine is not definitely known, but
there is little doubt that all have persisted
The lifeboat found was No. 4, which
Capt. Driscoll said would be the last one
launched. There were four lifeboats on
the ferry. and they were launched in ro-
tation according to their numbers.
A fierce storm is sweeping Lake Erie
today. and prevents search for the miss
ing men.
1t was the intention of Capt. Driscol
of the Commodore Perry and several Other
captains to start out at daylight, hoping
to find other yawls floating down the
lake, but the storm deferred them.
All through the night friends and rela-
tives of the nine dead men picked up yes
terday watched in the vicinity of the
morgue. The bodies will be sent to their
homes some time today. In the mean
time the seafaring people here will take
up the search for more victims at the first
opportunity.

WORLD STORIES.
Some of the Great Myths Which
Are a Valuable Part of Life.


In the old days, before men under
stood how this world was made and
why so many wonderful things took
place in 1T every day. such. for in
stance. as the rising and setting of
the sun or the coming OF spring, the
growth of trees and flowers and the
falling of rain-in those old days they
made up stories about these things.
Since they knew OF nothing more won
derful than the human beings about
them. they imagined that all these
marvellous results were produced by
creatures like themselves. yet differ
emit, wiser and more powerful. Thus
they thought that every tree contained
a dryad. lovely girl who made the
tree grow and brought its fruit to per-
lection. And all the streams and
fountains had their naiads, the sea its
mermen and mermaids. and the life it
self of the people was supposed to
be ruled and guided by these beings,
to whom they gave various names AMI
ascribed differing powers.
Naturally they told one another many
wonderful stories about these crea-
lures. Gradually these stories got
written down; and even now, so many
thousand years later. we can read
them. Our ideas have changed: we
no longer believe In fauns and tritons
and nymphs. But 1t would be a pity
If we stopped reading these stories
because of that. For. in their own
way. these tales are as true as the
actual facts we learn nowadays of
just how the trees and plants do really
grow, and what 1t Is that makes the
sun seem to rise and set. They are
true because they tell how mems minds
grew, and began to take hold of the
problems of life about them, and tried
to explain things, and how they realiz-
ed the beauty and the wonder OF the

NORMAL SCHOOL BUILDING.
Senator Gallinger Endorses Plan for
New Structure.

Senator Gallinger. chairman of the Sen
ate District committee and of the sub
committee on District appropriations
strongly Endorsed the plan to construct a
building for the normal school in the
District.
Shortly after today's session of the Sen
ate was begun Senator Gallinger pre-
scented resolutions adopted by the Column
bia Heights Citizens Association and by
nearly a score of other similar local or
ganizations, in which Congress is asked
to provide for the construction of nor
NAL schoof building.
Il am In hearty sympathy with the
plan for building normal school build
ing. which these people have asked for,
declared Senator Gallinger before the pc
titions were sent to the desk of the read
ing clerk. 1T is something that ought
to have been provided long ago"
School officials have been urging the
construction of such a building for sew
eraI years on site which was purchased
some time ago. And the Commissioners
have expressed their approval of the
plan At present the normal school is
housed in the Franklin School building.
