Many readers will have noticed in
the papers that in a number of cities,
towns and summer resorts in the
past few months it has been neces-
sary for the authority of the law to
interfere in the matter of women's
dress. Things have actually gone so
far in more than one place thai the
police have had instructions to send
women home to change their clothes
under penalty of arrest
This is certainly a humiliating
state of affairs To begin with, it
seems most unsuitable that men
should have to interfere at all in
matters of this kind. and the women
who commit such extravagances of
dress do so because they are lacking
in sense; they have been taught to
be dolls and playthings for men in
stead of responsible human beings,
says the Camden Daily Courier.
At any rate, it is quite natural to
conclude that a woman who is seen in
public wearing garments that are OBJ
viously uncomfortable or that are SO
unsuitable as to call down the au-
thority of the law is certainly a
woman who thinks more of attract
ing attention from strangers than she
does of her real purpose in life. I'm
fortunately there are a good many
of us who think more of how we look

But you will never get to that
little building unless you do it by
stealth or force. Erickson works
there from morning till late at night.
He is so absorbed in his work that he
will see no one unless it be impera-
lively necessary. Frequently his
servants have to bring him his food.
He is even impatient at this inter-
ruption.
II have received intimations that he
is confident that he has captured this
force and believes that apparatus
which he has invented will do more
for mankind than all the other in
yentions put together"
Some three or four years later there
came semi-official announcement that
Ericsson had perfected his sun motor.
He had made apparatus by which
some portion of the energy that is IN
the SUMS rays could be secured and
stored and then utilized for power
purposes. When I heard this re-
called what MIR. Bushnell had said to
me. But it was afterward announced
that Ericsson had overlooked one
thing and that was the commercial
practicability of his invention. The
motor would do everything he canned
for it, but at a cost of installation
and operation far in excess of the
cost of energy produced by burning
coal or by water power. Some years
later scientists found a better way
than Eriesson's, for they learned how
to capture electricity and to utilize
| it with commercial practicability.

Y Y LETTER
H. B. WALKER
WILSON'S HUERTA POLICY
Star stan Correspondent.
star bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Oct. IS.

Star bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.
In the opinion of those close to the
administration, and of President VIII
son himself, the latest developments
in Mexico fully vindleate his policy
in refusing to recognize Huerta as
the constitutional ruler of that coun-
try, and effectually silence the critics
who have been urging such action.
With Huerta apparently not in ac-
cord with constitutional law IN
Mexico, the end of his regime Is ex-
pected to come soon. 1t Is believed
here that his latest action will quick
ly result in. alternating from him the
support he has retained among in
fluential Mexicans, and that his
downfall now is matter of only q
very short time.
While the Mexican situation had
been supposed to be slumberlng more
or less for the past few weeks, ana
was not attracting the acute interest
given it in the newspapers at the time
of John Lind's arrival there, there
has been at no time any loss or IN
terest at the White House or In the
State and War departments. Re-
lieved of the glare of publicity Whlcn
AIIRQOed
the Presidents personal representa-
tive. has constantly been in close
touch with the government here, and
through his dispatches and those OF
Charge d'Affaires OShaugnessy, the
President and the State department
have been daily apprized OF every
shift and movement in Mexico, both
on the part of Huerta and OF the
constitutionalists who are making
war upon his regime.
DIR. Bayard Hale. who spent several
months in Mexico as special repre-
sentative of the State department,
has been, since his return, daily
visitor at the White House and the
State Department, and from ms mt
mate flrst-hand knowledge of Next
can conditions, the President has been
kept as thoroughly informed of the
meaning and significance of each en-
gagement and movement on the part
of both sides In the war, as though
he were himself on the ground.
For months it has been no secret
that the svmpathies of this govern
ment. unofficially of course. have been
entirely with the leaders and armies
that have been warning against
Huerta, and there has been confidence
at the White House at all times that
within reasonable time Huerta
would be disposed Of, either by the
victory of the constitutionalists in the
field or at the ballot box.
The new attitude of Huerta is IN
terpreted here in official circles as
his loss of hope in being
able to secure the election of a sue
cessor of his own selection. This be-
lief paints the picture of Huerta's
and the ASSASSINATION OF
senator Dominguez and the dissoly-
ing and arrest of the Congress, are
interpreted as the acts of a man at
the end of his rope.
In the face of the events of the
last few days in Mexico. the Presl-
dent is engaging in what would I'M
automatically be called quiet
chuckle at the expense of the sew
eral countries which some months ago
gave official recognition to Huerta..
