DRESS REFORM is
BADLY NEEDED.
ADMITS LEADER


what DR.. Smith says will have the ef-
feet he intends.
Thinking women are all studying
the dress problem. but they see no
definite solution. Women themselves
feel antagonism to the extreme style
that is called Partisan. Detroit wom-
en do not follow what the stores say
are the leading up-to-date styles.
They prefer To dress much more
simply.
II believe that society women
should take mp the question of dress,
realizing the effect that their mode
OF dressing has OH those who are less
fortunate They should set an ex-
ample in high ideals for those VINO are
less blest in many ways than they.
Some day We shall wake up to the
fact that we spend more thought and
money on our clothes than We do on
our charities"
DO you think the slit skirt Is i'm
modest" Mrs. Ashbaugh was asked.
The question goes farther back
than slit in the skirt" she replied.
Our attitude toward dress is very
funny. when you think Of II; ii differs
ton DEGREES that a dress which Is
proper at one time Of the day, is i'm.
modest at another But ! don't be-
lieve that the majority of women are
immodest"
Another prominent club woman,
who asked that her name be withheld
said:
Women are protesting as much as
the preachers against the prevailing
styles. But they are not responsible
for them. The styles are created by
men. The stores carry these styles
and nothing else, and you must wear
them. II you do not want to appear a
fright. You can't get anything else.
Il do not think that there is in
territorial immortality in women who
wear the present styles, even though
they do have to raise their skirts very
high to climb aboard street car,
or to straddle puddle at the curb"
Nine. MCGOWAN ?Boersig. costumer
at No. &c Alfred-st., who has seen
some OF the latest models. said:
I'm inclined to agree with DR..
Smith that no modest woman would

SCANT CUTTING
DONE ON BUDGET
OF POOR BOARD


was allowed, but the aldermen refus-
ed to add &c the payroll a woman so
cial service worker at an annual sal.
airy o; $1,000. A new item OF $4,000
for the maintenance OF an ambulance
was allowed.
The boards request Of $66,643.7S
for provisions for poor families was
allowed to stand. although II Is over
s16,0OO higher than the amount al
lowed last year. The aldermen also
hesitated to cut an item Of $4,000
for fuel, $2,723.52 for medicine and
$5,018.11 for burials, all these being
increases over amounts previously
allowed. the commissioners success
fully arguing that 1t costs more. not
only to live. but to die and be buried
now than year ago.
The request for money for shoes
and clothing for poor children was
cut from 1920 to $1,000 and the item
for house rent for destitute families,
from $4,424.50 to $500. Several
other smaller cuts were made, but as
general rule the aldermen did not
have the heart to swing the ak as
hard as they would have liked to.
The city treasurer's once was al
lowed two extra clerks at $1,100 each.
The city plan and improvement com
mission was allowed to increase Its
request from $4,000 TO $500 to com
plete plans for the conformity OF
streets in territory adjacent to the
city limits on the north, east and
west.
The aldermen displayed an unusual
amount Of artistic appreciation In the
handling of the requests from the
| Art Museum and the School of De
sign. The School Of Design was al
lowed $16,930 for maintenance az
against $4,000 allowed by the city last
year.
Clyde H. Burroughs, acting director
of the museum, received an unexpect
ed salary increase of $500, making his
annual salary $4,000. the same as that
paid to the director of the School OF
Design. The aldermen also allowed
him $4,000. an increase Of $500, fol
bringing art exhibits to Detroit. Al
that the committee succeeded In cut
ting $500 from the museum budget.
The committee ON claims and &C
counts, of which Aid. O'Brien IL chair
man. inspected the school buildings
and visited prospective school sites on
the east side Of the city, Wednesday
morning. The aldermen seemed fav
orable to the boards request for q new
high school and two primary schools
all to be located In the Seventeenth
ward. The committee will meet al
$3.50 o'clock, Thursday morning, in
the Board OF Education rooms to take
up the school budget.
1.-The members OF the committee
have already agreed on number OF
cuts, and when we are through. with
the Board of Education budget. there
will be very little left for the esti
majors to do" said Aid. O'Brien.

AFFINITY OF B
l.. d. BURNETT IS y
DETROIT WOMAN


INA
$4,000 alleged to have been secured
by Burnett. has received q statement
from police ofiicer and his wife, who
are vel! acquainted with the French
woman.
The oflcer stated that Mrs. French
II the former wife OF Bert French, =
Detroit saloonkeeper. and was divorc-
ed from him four years ago. shortly
before she became known to Fort
Wayne people as Mrs. Lyman ID. Bur.
nett.
She did china.painting. and had stu.
dos on Washington-blvd., Cherry-st
aud Sixth-st., and prior TO that time
worked as janitress In the Detroit Col.
lege OF Medicine. following her d.
vorce from her husband.
Four years ago. she told the police
ofYicer that she was going to marry
Burnett, the horse dealer, and Was
going to live with him In Fort Wayne,
Ind, but admonished her con6dants
that they had better not say anything
about Il, as her first husband was OF q
jealous nature. and might kill her
and her lover II ne heard of It.
The policeman did not know OF Bur
nett's wife here, and paid little 1t
tention to the French matter, until
the disclosure OF the bank scandal. and
OF Burnett's double life.
A furry was caused In police head.
quarters. Tuesday afternoon, when
Supt Downey learned that Burnett
had called for his property" taken
from him when he was arrested, and
that the property" had been given
to him. 1t consisted OF big horse
shoe scarf pin, set with diamonds: .
gold watch. chain, and diamond-set
locket, and ring with q three-carat
stone.
The furry was caused by the fact
that Supt. Downey had been served
with papers OF attachment for the
property. In behalf Of the Central Saw.
ings bank, which attached all OF Bur-
nett's available assets, to cover it,
loss from the overdrafts.
Burnett was sent for. but taken to
headquarters, did not have the Jew.
elry. and refused to tell where II was.
Meanwhile, on his arrival home. he
had tossed the jewels into his wife's
lap, without q word.
His wife. who had fought for her
husbands love for years, knowing
that there was another woman. and
who had finally become embittered
after the disclosures In the bank
scandal. took the jewels to police
headquarters. and turned them In, re
lieving a rather tense situation for
the department.
| Supt. Downey had failed to notify
Chief Of Detectives Palmer and the
property clerk, Edward Andre, not to
turn the jewelry over to Burnett on
demand.
