CHINESE WAR IN FRISCO
BROUGHT TO AN END

San Francisco, Cal, March 25.-Because
they could not obtain gun men to fght
their battles, the Com Yorn Lee Sor and
Bing Kong tongs called off their feud last
night. In view Of the fact that four mem
bers of the CORN Yorn Lee Sor were
killed last night by Sing Long assassins
and that no reprisals have been made by
the rival tong. this peace agreement is
regarded as one of the most remarkable
in the history of tong wars in this coun-
try.
This peace agreement does not affect
the other warning tongs, and the police de-
partment has not relaxed it's vigilance in
Chinatown. 1t was because the other mill
tant tongs nave hired all available gun
men that the two tongs decided to end
hostilities. Each had arrayed itself with
other fighting tongs and they were dis
mayed to find that they could obtain no
professional killers to fight for them and
defend them.

WILL WELC COME NEW C0RSETs
Very Graceful and Comfortable Are

dorsement of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays, and the sloping shoulders of

Some of the newest Partisan cor
sets are but mere girdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea is to give one
long line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist is the cor,
set growing shorter! Far from it!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselles stays-one wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many of them are
not heavily boned, but beautifully
shaped and SO arranged that the fig
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone,
however, is the figure to be youthful
but above it as well. The high,
lifted waist line, the low bust, the
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages of time-to keep
her youthful as possible.
Very comfortable, indeed, are these
new corsets, for if they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep it supple and free above
the waist, allowing ease and freedom
of movement and perfect comfort.
