A Would Be Dress
Reformer Here
Louis H. Campbelle Has One
Strong Upholder In
Chanute.

Louis H. Campbell, state repre-
sentative of Ohio, who advocates a
commission of three married men tc
regulate the dress of the women OF
Ohio, has strong advocate in one
of the business men of Chanute.
When asked how he would go
about reforming the dress of
women and what his methods of
reform would be were he a member
of the commission said "well, | am
in favor of dress reform for women.
l believe in them dressing very
plainly" don't like these hobble
skirts.' One of his listeners then
broke in with "Well, you do not
like fussy things you say, but l sure
never saw anything palmer than a
hobble skirt in my life" THAT
isn't the question. They are ugly,
and as for these hats, My own
daughter brought home a thing
that looked sort like funnel and
told me it was one of the late styles.
l think hat styles are to be re-
formed too. There is too much
rivalry among women. l don't
want any of their dress to have
spangles and things on it"
He was then asked to give des-
criptlon of what his ideal of dress
would be for street wear. He was
Of course, unable as all mere men
would be, to give an adequate des-
cription of a womsn's costume.
"Well, l would have them plain,
and clean"
He was called on to notice the
most of the girls and women OF the
town 10 ascertain whether most of
them were not dressed plainly and
cleanly too but he did not think !
more than one in fifty would come
under the list as he would have
them after he with the rest of his
commission would have made all
their laws about dress reform.

Navajo Women own Property,

While the Navajo men and boys
take care of the locks and herds, the
women own the property. 1t is the
Navajo woman who has the final say
as to the disposal of sheep and cattle.
This is not the result of any recent
movement in behalf of equal suffrage,
but has obtained among the Navajos
since time immemorial.

his mother as she looked over last
