At Boston, Mass, the climax has

Will Leave Teheran Soon.

At Teheran, Persia, w. Morgan Shus
ter, the American who was recently
dismissed as treasurer general at the
demand of Russia, took the matter of
having some one relieve him of the
duties of his former office into his
own hands. He had made repeated
representations to the cabinet of his
desire to leave as soon as some one
was appointed to relieve him
These representations had no effect,
so the American turned over the books
to Frank Cairns, his first assistant At

Persian customs, as acting provisional
treasurer with committee of Persians
to assist him.

AGAINST THE CLlNGlNG STYLE
Writer, Possibly for Personal Reasons,
Denounees Proposed Change
In Mems Clothing.

This is-well, let's say amusing
this dictate of fashion that men
must wear in 1914 clinging garments
isn't it? Because some Of us must
either adopt pads or endure the
mockery Of the masses while parad-
ing in the guise of human scare
crows or Punch and Judy shows-if
clinging duds do master masculinity.
And some of us will lose one large
subject of conversation and laugh
ter, for we won't any longer be able
to criticise the garments Of our sis
ters, wives and affinities. If any one
consideration can do more than an
other to prevent the general adop-
ton of tight styles for men this loss
of critical opportunity is likely to
be the thing, isn't it? 1t never will
do to give ladies an opportunity to
turn the batteries Of laughter on the
masculine half of humanity, will it!
OF course a compromise may be ar
ranged-but compromises seldom
wear well, do they1-Detroit Free
