POINCARE IN OFFICE YEAR
United Press.

United Press.
FARIS, Jan. 17.-Undoubtedly the
mos. popular man in France is Pres
idert Raymond Poincare who, today,
one year ago, was elected by the YER
ssil.e congress. Notwithstanding it
is an open secret that the president
and his present cabinet are somewhat
at cdds. When Poincare was elected
a year ago he was considered the peo-
pies candidate. Old school politic-
ans. smong whom were Georges Gle
menceau, Emile Combes, Dubois of
the senat, Deschanel of the chamber,
Eugene Caillaux and Alexander Ri
bot, opposed him, it is said, because
it was known that he would not con-
sent to play a purely decorate part
in the government. 1t is also stated
that he would have been defeated
had the rank and file in the senate
and chamber dared oppose an avail
anche of public opinion.
Poincare's first cabinet was headed
by Aristide BRAND. 1t is known that
the views of the two men are almost
identical. The second cabinet headed
by Louis Barthou, changed matters a
little. The third and last, headed by
CASTOR Doumergue, it is claimed, is
dominated by the politicians who op-
pose Poincare, and, when BRAND got
up in the chamber and criticised its
policies, people remarked that it was
almost as If the president himself
was talking. The president has little
to do with naming his cabinet. Upon
suggestions of senate and house lead
ers he charges some one 20 form .
cabinet which is directly responsible
to the chamber.

The Southern that left Durango
this morning encountered numerous
delays on the way on account of the

impossible. The train was turned

URGES FEWER CLOTHES
FOR THE WOMEN
United Press.

BOSTON, Jan. 17-Shades of Eyel
In the very teeth of the bitter criti-
cism of the peek-aboo waist, the dia-
phanous and slit skirt, and the some
times more than half-back decolette
comes mere man timerous enough
to declare that women wear too many
clothes. Professor Charles Zeublin,
famous scientist and lecturer of Wor-
cester contends that the human race
would be healthier, happier and more
moral if women wore fewer clothes
'The best garment for each SEX y
said Professor Zueblin today, "is a
one-piece pair of rompers. If custom
inexorably dictates the addition of
skirts for growing young girls, they
can still wear boomers. The elm
ination of skirts is obviously in pro-
cess now. Petticoats have been aban-
doned, temporarily at least, and the
slit skirt gives promise of skirt
less costume in the future. And the
savings on skirt materials and petit
coats, makes expensive silk stock

men. What economic possibilities the
skirtless costume holds. Instead of
being immoral, the slit skirt is tok-

subsection. If ultra conservative
people are shocked and ultra-vulgar
people are ribald, it is because both
prefer the subjection of women.
Incidentally the corset is losing
its tyrannical hold with the result
that women's figures, when fully
clothed, more nearly resemble the
normal figure. The present vogue OF
scant clothing if it can be continued
will inevitably result in women hav-
ing better figures because deceit is
impossible in the diaphanous gowns
The alleged danger to health by less
clothing for the body, will be abund

c. II. ALGERT RETURNS
FROM CANAL ZONR

c. II. Algert the well known whole.
sale and retail merchant of Fruit
land, returned last night from ten
weeks vacation spent in various
points of interest.
He passed short time in different
cities Of interest en- route to Little
Old New York. After renewing his
acquaintance with the metropolis he
boarded steamer for Panama. His
eight days journey by sea to the is
thmus was not all that pleasant anti
cipations had pictured it. The water
was rough aud the majority of the
passengers on board suffered from
that affliction that is designated by
those who have travelled little as sea
sickness, but by the globe trotter as
ptomaine poisoning.
While Mr.. Algert had read extern
sively Of conditions on the canal, he
ton us wonderful as it is. He thinks
the millions of dollars used by Uncle
Sam to clean up the strip ten by forty
miles was marvelously well invested.
He considers that few points in the
world can compare with it in regard
to sanitary conditions. He mention
cd especially the absence of disease
breeding insects. During his nine
days stay he did not see one mosqui-
to and only six flies.
IL will be remembered that since
the canal was reported completed
three slides have occurred on Culebra
cut. Mr.. Algert tells us that FORUM
ately these are githin. a distance of
half a mile so it makes il possible
for the workers to concentrate their
efforts and hasten the completion OF
their task. The rate of progress
they are making is illustrated by the
success they are meeting with in re-
moving the last one which occurred
Just three weeks previous to his visit.
By the use Of hydraulic monitors on
the top, steam dredges in the central
level and steam shovels on the bot
tom a cut has been made in that time
20 feet deep and 100 feet wide, there
by making possible for all the steam
ers in use there to pass through.
Mr.. Aleert thinks the locks are
among the greatest wonders to be
found there. Those which are seven
ty-five, by sixty by eight feet work
as easily as door in Il house. All
are practically completed except
few minor electrical installations.
On his return Mr.. Albert had
most delightful trip en- route to New
York. He visited Cuba and also spent
little time on the east coast of
Florida
But with all the interesting places
that he found, the San Juan basin
still seems to hold first place with
Mr.. Algert Here is the land where
he has met prosperity in generous
proportions, and one that offers quite
as many attractions 10 tourists as any
point that he visited and certainly as
many TO the frugal and industrious
citizen who is seeking location.
