SLIT SKIRTS HEALTHFUl
U. S. Official Doctor Says Airy
Clothing Is Better
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, oct. 21.-Modern fem
mime dress Is not so bad after all. when
health is taken into consideration, says
DR.. w. G. Rucker. assistant surgeon
general OF the Public Health Service.
His opinion is based on the theory that
in the past-also frequently at present
Americans are inclined to wear too
much clothing in cold weather.
Contrary to some arguments, DR..
Rucker insists that slit or scanty skirts
are not necessarily menace to the
health. Wraps and overcoats, he says,
should be worn when the weather is
frigid but for indoors the clothing
should be light.
Don't overload your body with
heavy garments" he advises. silt
skirts and diaphanous gowns are not
menaces TO health in cold weather. On
the contrary, the woman who wears
the present styles will be less liable to
catch cold than the one who crowds
her body with heavy woollens these
chilly days"

LBy Telegraph 10 The Trituncl
Boston, Oct n-In answer TO the state
ment by Ex-Governor Sulzer that BLU
lithic interests gave 5000 to Arthur Nc
Lean, treasurer of the New York state
Democratic Committee for the 1912 cam
paign John Dearborn, treasurer OF the
Warren Brothers Paving Company, stated
tonight that no such check had passed
through his hands, and that the books OF

the right TO investigate any such state

also grant licenses for other firms 10 use
our patents on a royalty basis. Thls
company has never been interested In
politics. for 1t Is not necessary for the life
of the company
what he's excited sulzer about our
company has been the great amount Of
work we had been doing for the State OF
New York and the big demand for our
class of paving. When ,Sulzer first came
into power he cancelled a 100000 contract
we had to build roads through Long ISL
and. He did 1t through Highway Com
missioner Carlisle for the good Of the
state. The matter is now In the courts.
"There had been so many petitions from
cities and towns for the Warren type OF
roadway construction during the preced-
ing Tammany administration that when
Mr. Sulzer got into Office he thought the
demand for our type Of paving subject
for investigation. We have done much
work I'm New York Stat, since that time
however. and the petitions continue.
"A reporter for q New York newspaper
The World spent several days In our
offices here four months ago investigating
similar charges. that we had made under
handed contributions 80 political cam
paign funds. and that leaders in Tam
many Hall were large stockholders in our
company. He was given access 10 all
information he asked for. and he found
nothing to substantiate those charges"

for your good letter OF the 18th inst.

Magazine for November has not reached
you. | am to-day addressing and mall

you.
THE article represents much study on

important matters OF penology TO public
attention. and 1t has attracted, I find, a
great deal OF attention and some criti-
cism. Most OF the criticism. however, Is.
so far as / know. very complimentary.
II has, at all events attracted attention
TO me as student of new and interesting
social customs. 1t was not. strictly
speaking, intended for popular reading,
but only for the more Thoughtful class Of
people.
II hope you will return TO us altogether
restored to health. BE assured OF my
very best wishes"

an attorney, attacked the newspapers.
He said in part:
THE newspapers are making cowardly
attacks We come out in the open and
take part, and they characterize it as
criminal.
GIVE US the press of Dana and Greeley!
Let US return to tho better times in
journalism. We are indorsing to-day a
press that vilifies and attacks us, while
refusing TO print our replies 20 their at
tacks. even after We offer 10 pay for their
publication.
yellow journalism and hypercritcal
journalism is what is served TO us to-day.
They give us talk of high ideals on one
page and reviews Of lurid plays and
novels on the next. We dare not leave the
latest magazines on our library tables for
fear our wives and daughters may read
the material they print. These maya
zines will wreck decent society. They
will damn the soul and pollute the heart.

lawyer, introduced as a personal friend
