A learned college professor is
saying that women are not the
equal of men. because they still
retain their love of the uncivilized
and barbaric.
Many of the new fashions that
are now exploited in Paris give
some semblance to the truth of
this.
Many of the new styles can be
traced directly to the savage races
of the Philippines.
But in the barbarian countries
it is the male and not the female
that makes himself beautiful;

who decks himself with beads
feathers and other gauds.
The hat shown is called the Ig
orrote. and its inspiration was
head dress of the Igorrote head
hunter whose picture accompanies
it.
The cap crown Is made little
larger, and few feathers, instead
of tomahawk, decorates its side
but the beads and general idea
are the same, even though the
face below the modern head dress
is Miss Today and that facing II
is the head of a savage.

Whenever Dick wants to forget
any disagreeable thing he always
suggests the theater.
| do not believe the tired bust
ness man cares much for society.
He. likes his friends and pals, but
he doesn't care for formal CONVEX
sation or formal society. He
doesn't want to be obliged to be
polite if he doesn't feel like 1t.
Some way | think the hardest
work the modern man has to do
is to be polite to people he is not
particularly interested in.

Dear Miss Grey: There is
a girl in our neighborhood
who has a very bad COM
plexion, and for this rea-
son she has very few friends.
She is very neglected and
. the girls, instead Of leaving
her alone, since they will
not play with her, poster the
life out of her by calling
her names such as Pimpy,
Black Heads, etc.
We two girls have taken
pity on her, and would like
your advice about how to
make her more popular.
1t seems to us that all most
girls think of Is their looks,
the number of parties they
are invited to, and the boys.

TO WAR ON THE COLLAR.

6From the Philadelphia. Press.) A league has been formed in France to emancipate man from the starched collar-that instrument of sartorial torture which, as one of the leaders of the league puts it, imprisons our Adams apple. Once again France points the way to freedom. Is there a man anywhere in Christendom who will not hope that this cause may prosper2
 Time was when men at the most stately function and on the most cer- emonious occasions dressed comfort ably and beconaingly. In the days of Beau Brummel women might in the exercise of their divine right resolve to go corseted. but man refused to confiae any part of him in anything that chafed. He wore many colors; he wore. knee breeches-buckles on his shoes and lace at his neck and his wrists, but never did he look any the less a man than he has looked since what grace he was condemned to be disguised in the habilimentss that have for the better part of a century made him an eyesore to all artists and a prey to those twin tyrants-the collar makers of Troy and the 1aundrymen of all the world.
 Back to comfort and back to grace. Surely this is the final step in a. move nnent that has been slfbtly slowly but surely gathering headway for the last. 10 years. Increasing interest in life out of doorsEindevotion to all sorts of sports and exercise-I1as helped it. The informa.1ity of country Hfe now in these days of the motor car within the reach of so many more people that in the old days had to live so much nearer their places of business and of work, has helped it. A man may now even wear soft-bosomed dress shirt at dinner and still retain his membership in his club and the re- spect of his fel1ow-men. Surely, we repeat. it is not too much to hope thanks to France and to Anatole France, that the day when a man shall shake off the steam la.undry,s badge of servitude from his excoriated neck is at last at hand.

HUERTA RECEIVES ARMS
 FROM GERMAN SHIPPERS

Washington, May 2S-Predictions that a protocol would be. signed by the Huerta and American delegates to the Niagara conference within the next week and reports that the Hamburg American steamer Ypiranga had de- livered arms and ammunition for the federa1s at Puerto Mexico, were widely varying features in the Mexican situa- ton that engaged the president and his advisers today.
 While it would have been fmpossi- ble to prevent the delivery of muni- tfons for Huerta without violation of the truce between the federaIs and the American government, yet the in- cfdent recalled the fact that the oc- cupation of Vera Cruz was to ba-lk the landing of the very war cargo that now will reach Huerta through the Tehuantepec railroad port
 Official reports that Huerta had re- |ceived an additional cargo of war nau nitions from the Hamburg American liner Bavaria, were borne out by state ments from Mexico City that two large shipments of munitions had been received in the last two weeks. Sug- gestions of the way they would be employed were conveyed in the state ment that the federals are now well supplied with ammunition ito carry on their campaign against the constf- tzltfonalists."

Niagara Falls encouraged adninistra- tion chiefs today. It was declared that the main issues between the two missions had been satisfactorily re- solved in principle and that all re- maining to be determined was whetl1- CT comparatively minor matters would be included in the negotiations.
 Word yet was to be received from Carranza as to his attitude on media ton.
 The detention of the steamer Ba- varia at Vera. Cruz was regarded here as having little significance. While the vessel was said to have landed ammunition for Huerta. yet it was pre- stunned that General Funston ordered her held because of her lack of clear ance papers.
