TIGHT SKIRTS
RUIN FIGURE
German Doctors Say That
Style is Not Right
Making Women Knock -Knee~i-
DreSsmakers Disagree With This
Physician.

Berlin, June 24-The chief dress
makers Of Berlin takes issue with pr.
Francke, the Munich physician. who
declares that the tight skirt is ruin
Gus to the figure and is producine a
race OF knoCk-kneed women The
kaiserln, after long opposition has
finally adopted the tight skirt for
herself and her daughter, Trlntes>s
Victoria Luise.
Meantime DR.. Francke stands to
his guns. He says:
Il have arrived at the following
facts regarding the development uf
the human body. Boys and girls are
usually born somewhat bow legged,
and both soon become knock kneed,
so that in the third year three-quar-
ters Of all children are knock-kneed.
This soon disappears in boys, and in
the twenty-third year 80 per cent OF
men have straight legs.
With our women knock knees re-
main in the majority Of cases through
out the whole Of their lives. Al 4s.
50 per cent Of all women are knock
kneed. Much blame attaches 10
skirts which directly prevent the legs
from being stretched out straight and
vigorously.
.'The wives Of savages are only
slightly bow-legged. The wiser our
women are the more they will exer-
clSe ana the WlOeT ana SnOTter VIII
their skirts be-"
"Nonsensei' is the emphatic reply
to this of the manageress of Messrs-
Spltzer court dressmakers. The tight
skirt has not spoiled the figures OF
any of our customers and no fear
that it may do SO is likely to arrest
its growing popularity. If the num-
ber Of knOck-kneed women Is in
creasing the cause must be sought
elsewhere
Professor Paul Strassman. an e:ni-
nent woman's specialist, said: II have
failed to notice in my practice any
Of the disQuieung symptoms suggest
ed by my Munich colleague. Wom-
en- have always been more predis-
posed to be knock-kneed than ,len-
Fight skirts are certainly to be pre-
ferred to tight corSetS.''
lT. Max Imnelmann, distin-
guished specialist, said: '"The light
skirt neCessa rily reveals the presence
of knOck-kneeS, and that is a bless
ing in disguise, because it hits tho
pride of women and makes some Of
them see before it is too late the ne
CeSSlty for exercise or treatment for
the Improvement Of the figure. I
know no bad physical effects which
can be traced to the tight skirt.

University Of North Carolina taken
retrogressive step IN Abohshlng the

the demands of the complex and ex-

TO annihilate a department that Tor
the past eighteen years has been the
means of giving employment TO a
large band Of ambitious young men
working their way through college?
These considerations and perhaps
others, have led thoughtful alumni,
who are impressed with the duty Of
guarding jealously the welfare of
their alma mater, to freely ask the
question: was the abolishment Of the
University Press a wise step to be
taken?

SHOULD KICK OUT
SENATOR PENROSE
SO Asserts Colonel In Letter
to Senator CIapp, Head
of Probe.
(By Federal Telegraph Wireless. }

OYSTER BAY, Long Island, August
2S.-(Special to The Advertiser) Col
onel Roosevelt declared today that
Senator Penrose should be ousted from
his seat in the senate for the testimony
he has given regarding the campaign
contributions to the Republican cam
paign fund of 1904. Colonel Roosevelt
said that he had taken this stand in
letter to Senator Clapp of the senate
committee investigating the campaign
contributions which the Rough Rider is
now preparing. The Colonel made the
statement after he had read what pur-
ported to have been part of the testi-
mony given by Senator Penrdse at the
hearing of the committee, to the effect
that he, Penrose, had advised John ID.
Archbold, of the Standard Oil Com
pany to make a second contribution to
the fund.- "lest they encounter trouble
in a certain high quarter"
Colonel Roosevelt added that in his
opinion, this was an offer of protec
tion from the government, in return
for contributions, and that it did not
differ materially with the sale of police
protection in New York.
