REFORM MOVEMENT
All Asked to Cooperate In Bringing
Fashion to More Sensible
Standard.

All women are asked 70 cooperate
this spring 10 the bringing OF the
fashions to a more sensible as wen as
beautiful standard. They are asked
70 eschew extremely tight skirts, I'm.
modestly low nccked waists, sxtrem.
ely high heels and outrageousiy big
hats. All women arc asked ID dress
modestly and decantly because OF
Eloral and economic rsasons. They
are not asked oatciany to do his, but
the women concerned ia the move
laent TO have American fashions for
American are trying to work
up enthusiasm among all women Tor
sensible practical clothing, n :. looks
az though they will suece Il.
Spring is naturally enough, the
time when women pay more atten-
ton to their clothes than at possibly
any other season of The year. AS ev-
cry one knows, it is because the world
itself is putting on a new garb, a
more cheerful n than she has been
wearing for many months, and 4
that makes all earthly clothes look
sad and worn. As a consequence,
mere mortals do their best to Neep up
with nature, and the spring fashions
are the result.
The subject Of clothes seems TO be
a modern one to modern women, but
one Is tempted to suppose that ancient
Rome had just as warm discussions
among her women and her men, her
fashion makers and such-as to the
fitness and the morality of clothes.
Modern women, it seems, will, if left
alone, make their fashions more sen
sible year by year, and for this pur-
pose, the women who are interested
in fashions from a moral and n
ical standpoint, and a standpoint of
beauty and charm as well, are trying
to revolutionize dress
Not exactly revolutionize it, either,
for they admit that the present mar
row skirt has its advantages, as does
almost every other article of wearing
apparel that the modern women uses,
but they are trying to have the skirts
net too tight, the hats not so big, the
gowns at a modest length with regard
to hem and neck, shoes of a sensible
pattern and medium low heels and
above all, American fashions for
American women. These subjects
are discussed at club meetings, be-
tween friends at many kinds of meet
ings, and at the present time it seems
to be an all absorbing topic.
In connection with the subject OF
dress and what has been recognized
as its relation to the high cost of liv-
ing and the question Of morals, the
women of the country are being edu-
Gated through various channels and
by many means, as to what is the cor
rect thing for them TO wear. Clubs,
those wonderful organizations which
accomplish so much, especially where
women are concerned, are taking es-
pecially well to the subject Of reform
in dress, and within the next few
months there will doubtless be a de-
cided change for the better in all
fashions of womens clothes.

GOVERNOR ORDERS
MILITIA INSPECTED
CAPT. SLOAN IN CHARGE
WILL DETAIL RESULT OF IN
VESTIGATION TO WAR DE-
PARTMENT.

Little Rock, July 30.-Acting on
command of Acting Governor j. M.
Futrell, a special inspection of the
Arkansas National Guard has been
ordered by Adjutant General B. w.
Green, to begin August a. Capt. A.
! B. Sloan of the United States army
will make the federal inspection and
Major w. c. Bradford, assistant ad-
jutant general, will make the inspec-
ton for the state of Arkansas.
This inspection has been called in
an effort to account for the missing
property of the militia. 1t was the
loss of this property that caused the
United States war department to
threaten to withhold federal aid from
the Arkansas militia. Much of the
missing property has now been ac-
counted for and it is believed the spe-
cial inspection will reveal the where
abouts of most of that which still is
missing.
The order for the inspection issued
by General Green says the inspection
and unserviceable, issued to the Ma
tional Guard for its use, except such
will include all property, serviceable
articles as may have been condemned
and ordered dropped before the date
Of inspection.
