Sport and Morality

There is much more than 8 grain of truth in the contention of a Massachusetts woman that athletics will conduce to health fer and more normal lives for women. The same may be said of men. The men and women who take plenty of exercise in golf, tennis, swimming, baseball and rowing will not be as often heard of in divorce courts 8s those whose leisure is spent in idleness.
 Healthy bodies and clean minds go oftenest together. That is one reason why sports for young or old are encouraged. It is the reason colleges urge their stu dents to do gymnasium ' brk and join the athletic teams. The re- creation centers of large cities, the playgrounds, football, and baseball parks, the full swim ming beaches and public golf links will all have their benefi- cent effects on the bodies and minds of tue coming generation.

 On the Branch case and the Sealy case may rest the length of the term of court
 If indictments are found in these two cases it would probably take a week each to try them.
 There are several cases against tho board of supervisors and others over the report of Expert Willis, but 1t Is not known if both sides are ready for trial and these cases might go over.

More Water

At special meeting some days ago the city council and H. w. Blaisdeil, who came here from Los Angeles for the purpose, entered into a satisfactory agree ment by which residents of Yuma west of the new schOolhouse block will be given sufficient water supply, the town to use four more fre-plugs to reimburse the company Electric light, telephone and gas service will also be extended to this portion of the town.

The Bolster Gown

The fashionably dressed wom- an hereafter must wear two chemises-one underneath and one on top.
 This is the latest dream oi those who make clothes for women and which was exploited at the opening of the annual con. vention of the Chicago dress makers club.
 Officially, the new idea is char acterized as the "Greek chiton, but a Parisian article" it being explained that this appellation was used for the purpose of making it "go down easily, much as a branded peach once helped dose of quinine. The thing is really an "outside che. mise" and was invented to help out the top end of a contraption just now which is the "bolster slip gown.
 To make ''bolster slip" gown:
 Anything wilfd do for the neck yoke and sleeves. Take some something you had last year and turn it.
 For the remainder of the dress take piece of cloth as long as you are from under your arms to the top of your shoes-and it $ going to be largely of some ori ental stuff with oriental colors.
 Next, measure how much you are around right under the arm- pits, and that's what the width must be. Cut it square and then sew the edges together. Sew it tight, because-well, it's got to be sewed tight.
 When it's finished 1t will look if you're slim-hke $ section of stovepipe or an eBpty cream roll.

 To get into bolster slip" gown:
 Stand the gown on the floor underneath the chandelier. Use small sized step ladder to get up above it. Grasp the main part of the chandelier firmly with both hands. Draw the feet up under the arms, then slowly wriggie into the "bolster slip from the top to the bottom.
 Never sit down in a "bolster slip" gown. There would be d report like something ripping and it would have to be sewed up again.
 The "outside chemise" is to be hung over the "bolster slip" gown. A glance in the mirror will show perfect telegraph pole lines and you are correctly dressed in the 1911 fashion.

OF course, when Vermonters discuss the
reapportionment Of membership in the
House Of Representatives Of the sixty
second Congress that is to be based upon
the census of 1910 and hold for ten
years, they do so with evident concern,
lest the result be the reduction OF the
states representation from two members
to one, as has been frequently intimated
might be the case.
However, if this immediate interest
can be waived for the consideration Of a
more serious aspect of the matter, The
