DURANGO COUNCIL TAKE NOTICE


The city council at its monthly ses-
sion last night empowered and in
structed the police force and the su
perintendent of streets 10 see to it
that all sidewalks in town are cleaned
and kept free of snow and ice. That
il after a reasonable time after n snow
fall, and the proper warning the prop
erty owner shall neglect to clear walks
abutting on his property, the author
tiles shall attend to the work and tax
the costs against the property. This
is eminently right. Aside from the
inconvenience to the public generally
from uncleaned walks, the city is held
responsible and may be mulcted in
damages should pedestrian fall and
sustain injury from an Icy uncleaned
walk. II is therefore its duty to see
that walks are kept cleaned and 1t is
empowered by ordinance to do so. The
task of shoveling the snow from the
ordinary 25-foot walk is an insight
ficant matter and only the most mex
cusable Incidence is responsible for
its not being done.-Telluride Journal.

SHIRT WAIST MAKERS
AIDED BY THE WEALTHY

No strike in the history of the world
has aroused deeper human Interest
than the present struggle OF the shirt
waist makers of New York against
their employers. Not that their al
legged wrongs are more unjust or bur
densome than those inflicted on other
workers, but because the struggle has
aroused the sympathy of the rich and
For the first time women OF wealth
have joined their weaker sisters in
their fight for humane treatment OF
those obliged to earn their living In
shops and factories. College girls and
residents of the Bowery and ladies of
Fifth avenue and those of the slums
are working shoulder to shoulder for
a common cause. They act as pickets
before the same factories and they
ride to the police station together In
the patrol wagon. In a number of
instances they have occupied the same
cells.
Passing over the merits OF the con
fiict we see great hope In the broad
spirit of humanity that the strike has
developed. II shows that the world Is
growing better more Just, more hp-
name. A few years ago such an out
pouring of women of wealth and posi-
tion in the cause of their weaker sis
ters would have been inconceivable;
the strike would not have been any
affair of theirs. Those inclined to vio-
lence have been cautioned and checked
by the better educated of their sex
funds TO carry on the struggle. At
every turn the spirit of sisterly love
prevails.

ouSTING A MAYOR.

Illinois has a law which requires the
ousting of incompetent sheriffs by ad-
ministrative procedure under certain
conditions But the sheriff is the only
officer singled out for such treatment
Mayors are exempt, no mater what
they do, short of being found guilty of
felonies by criminal juries.
In Nebraska mayor also can be
put out of office for neglect of duty:
The governor of Nebraska had the
case of the mayor of Omaha before
him. The Omaha mayor was accused
OF failing to enforce the s o'clock
saloon closing law. The mayor was
against that law and the governor for
1t, but after full hearing the gov
ernor decided that the mayor had
come near enough to doing his duty
SO that his expulsion was not in or
der. Probably the existence Of the
law permitting expulsion was all that
held the mayor to his duty. Certain
lly the unpopular 8 o'clocq law was
enforced in Omaha much more rigor.
ously than our liberal Chicago l
o'clock ordinance ever has been ell
forced
Whatever laws one may favor, GER
tainly all parties ought to be agreed
that provisions which make for the
strict enforcement of those laws are
highly desirable. Provisions for the
removal of Incompetent and negligent
officials or by the operation of the re
call are useful. If such provisions are
accompanied by an effort to distribute
the spheres of local and general gov
eminent so that conflicts of interes
do not arise between localities. muci
may be accomplished toward the puri
fication' of politics.

SMALL WAISTS NO LONGER
IN FASHION


The dressmakers say that the aver
age waist measurement this year 1t
rs inches. Women with good figures
own up to so inches, and one dress
maker who sews for well-dressed
women says that the smallest waist
she has fitted in two years is 26
inches.
The doctors and health reformers
threw their hats to the skies in Joy
fulness. 1t is they who have preached
from the housetops anent the terrify-
ing evils of tight lacing. Fashionable
women paid no attention 10 either
class.
When Paris set down the law for
large waist. women followed it like
sheep. Whether this reform is per
manent or temporary, no one knows
not ever the corset makers.
One thing is certain. IL remains in
style for this winter. The new corsets
are built on these lines. There is nc
use trying to pull them in, for they
won't pull: and the woman who wants
to lace will have TO go back yeai
or two in corsets and get old models
| American women are not going Il
the extreme that the French womei
are, in padding the front of the gowr
at the waist line with an oblong pill
low to keep it straight. We allow
some curve in al the waist line bu
precious little in comparison with thu
curves of other days.
The wonderment of II is that womel
do not care rap agout the size o
their waists. All they fret about Il
the size of their hips. They will g
through any martyrdom TO keep thes'
on straight line at back and sides.
Not much discomfort is experienced
in doing this with the new corset II
truth. It IL the most comfortable anal
that has been invented and perfected
In our time. Dress historians can no
go back TO n period since Catherine
de Medici evolved the boned stay an,
introduced II to the world, when I
was SO easy In fit.
Even in its infancy II was perm
cious, for de Medici made II cour
rule that the waist should be only L
inches. and women brought all kind

of Ills on themselves by adhering TO it.
Even Elizabeth of England who intro.
duced the stay into British society, al
lowed a trifle more latitude, for the
beef-fed women of Britain were not
as easily compressed as the chocolate
fed women of France.
1t is a far cry from these days to
ours, and, while the map of the world
has been changed, the shapes of cor
sets has remained the same.
The small waist died hard, and some
women there are who still think the
hour-glass figure is the mold of form.
But they look hopelessly outclassed
by the woman with the healthy figure.
1t is only in their own minds when be-
fore their own mirrors that admira-
tion Is to be found
II is rather remarkable to hear the
trades against the extra-long corsets
by those who have not looked into its
comfort and its physical advantages.
great deal is heard of the way the
heavy bones bruise the flesh. The
truth OF 1t is the bones are not con.
tinled beyond the ordinary and com
Portable length.
The stiffened coutil or brocade
makes the bandage around the abdo-
men, and 1t can be pulled as tightly
as a woman wishes, for 1t is no more
or less tha the bandage that physi-
clans often urge every woman to wear
1t supports the sentitive organs and
keeps them from being attacked by
cold. II gives a strong support to the
lower muscles of the back and the end
OF the spine.
Another comment often heard
against the modern way of adjusting
the corset is the way that the flesh
by the hands into the waist of the
corset 1t is true this is done for the
purpose of gaining a better figure. yet
physicians indorse 1t. 1t keeps the
abdomen from sagging, which it is apt
to do when it gets fleshy.
OF course, the greatest advantage of
all in the present corsets, and the
modern silhouette, is this large waist.
When u woman does not try to pull
in below IS inches 1t means that her
waist is not CONSTRUCTED. that her d.
gestion has froe play and that her
diaphragm is left unhindered.
OF course, there is the other side.
There always is. There are women,
usually misguided girls, who attenu.
ate their figures TO degree of absurd
lity. They do without meals, almost
lap their corsets, cut their clothes as
though they were building tube in
stead OF gown, and are obsessed by
the belief that the more they resemble
a lead pencil the more fashionable
they are. Flesh is bad; none but the
Turks uphold 1t; but the figure mat Ii
reduced to a phantom has not beauty
or charm in any country at any time
One wants to reduce curves II the,

to make the American figure look like
the French figure, for the latter /!
