FINDS EVIL IN CORSETS
Doctor Van Lennep Points Out Their
Danger to Physical Health
Of Wearers

DR.. William B. Van Lennep, fs-mer
dean of the Hahnemann Medical College,
Of this city. made an attack on corsets In
a paper, entitled "a Contribution to the
Surgery of Glenard's Disease" before the
annual conference of the Pennsylvania
State Homeopathic Society, at Buena
Vista Springs, Pa.
This is what Doctor Van Lennep saws
concerning Glenards disease and corset
wearing:
Liver complaints are usually due to
corset pressure or tight lacing. Trouble
usually appears to the young girl In this
connection after the inception OF the
corset life. Nervousness and hysteria. de-
velop sooner or later and they naturally
become languid and listless. Their pain
is largely caused by traction upon the
diaphragm stretching the plexus OF the
nerves after eating, when standing or
after walking.
These conditions can be successfully
overcome by operation and the fixation
OF the dislodged organs. Belts and band
ages, In the case OF the young, are OF
no avail. and only tend to increase the
rigidity of the abdominal muscles. Cor
sets are undoubtedly the cause OF the
sagging of organs attached to the alb
dominal wall"
The athletic girl. the girl who plays
golf and tennis, and also wears corsets
while engaging In these sports, is In great
danger. according to DIR. Van Lennep.
He says that active exercise stiffens the
abdominal muscles and that girls who
live the strenuous athletic life should be
warned.

FEMININE DRESS RIVALRY
WOMANS SLAVERY TO FASHION
Popular Actress Refutes the Theory That Women Dress
to Please Men-Women Dress to Outrival Each Other

"TNHBRE Is an old-time fallacy'" de-
i olared Grace Carlyle. attractive lead
ing woman in Brother Masons," that
woman, IN her seeming efforts to emulate
the example OF the peacock, does SO TOT
the sole purpose OF attracting and pleas
ing the opposite sex. Nothing is further
from the truth. Not one man In thou-
sand appreciates the difference between a
Paris model and n 6th avenue creation
and every woman knows II. OF course
most men can appreciate the general ef-
feet Of a we'll ll-groomed woman, but as Tor
distinguishing between the newest mode
and the vintage OF the autumn before
last the male sex, as a whole. Is as igno-
rant as the native OF Timbuctoo.
II have a married friend who stretches
the family income to the breaking point
in an effort to keep up with the latest
DEGREES of fashion. Whenever her hus-
band reproaches her for her extravaganza
she invariably replies, We'll, l am only
dressing TO please you; don't you want
to see me look well? That usually settles
the argument, although the distressed
husband would probably love her Just as
much IL she wore her last years gown
or her last winters furs.
But with the women it's different.
Every well-dressed, well-informed woman
knows what's what In the matter OF dress.
Women are their own severest critics, and
Il is to please the members of her own sex
that the average woman risks domestic
unpleasantness and family squabbles IN
order to acquire the newest creations of
the modistes and milliner's art.
'woman's slavery TO the god of fashion
is particularly trying to the woman OF
the stage, for II is expected Of her to be
seen In the very newest modes. The
women who go TO the theatre expect tho
actress to give them the first view of the
newest models and these days the fasn-
lone change so frequently that the gowns
worn at the beginning OF a run are anti
quated toward the close of an engage
ment.
1T isn't at all unusual for me to invest
In three different sets of costumes during
the run Of single play, and as advance
models are rather expensive, this require
ment constitutes a drain on the actress
income.
while the stage is not an arbiter of
fashion, 1t helps to govern and moderate
the ideas of the designers art Those
who fashion our gowns and bonnets real
tze that the wearing of certain styles on
the stage will give them an impetus and
subsequent popularity and try, therefore,
to introduce them behind the footlights
AS the actress is usually endowed with
common sense and good taste. it follows
that she will not wear anything on the
stage that would not be appropriate on
the street or In the drawing room. There
fore, in creating their sartorial designs,
the dressmak .rs and milliners do not go
10 lengths beyond those commensurate
with good taste and good breeding"

MRS. JOHN EDLEMAN
1Ol YEARS OLD TODAY
Attributes Her Long Life to a
Happy Spirit and Avoidance
of Trouble

Congratulations were showered on Mrs.
John Edleman, 3i4l North Broad street,
who reached her 101st birthday today.
Many floral remembrances In addition to
messages and cards from friends and
relatives were received at her home.
Mrs. Edleman attributes her long life
largely TO a happy spirit and avoidance OF
trouble. Knowing her policy In this con-
nection, no one has told her about the
great struggle in Europe, and she is OF
the opinion that all Is serene among the
countries of the world Her birthday was
marred somewhat as the result OF an acci-
dent a few weeks ago when she fell and
dislocated her left shoulder.
When she was 90 years old, Mrs. Edle-
man broke her right hip, but prior TO
that her life was one long safe journey.
She recalls Philadelphia when II was a
pleasant little city and when any point
beyond Broad street was In the out
skirts. She was born in Philadelphia
September II, 1914, and always made her
home here. She makes her home with her
granddaughter, Mrs. Edward Moll.
Mrs. Eldeman's husband died fifteen
years ago. In addition to her daughter.
two Of her grandsons are stlll alive.

VACANCY IN BOARD
OF U. OF P. TRUSTEES
Alumni Backward in Proposing
Man for Samuel Dickson's
Place

II the various alumni clubs of the Uni
vcrsity of Pennsylvania have their way,
a Western man will be presented as the
choice of the General Alumni Society for
the vacancy on the board of trustees of
the University caused by the death of
Samuel Dickson. BY O recent ruling the
board of trustes permits the alumni to
fiji every fourth vacancy, with the pro-
vision that the man selected must be
acceptable to the other members Of the
board. MIR. Dickson's death made the
first vacancy In the board since the rule
was adopted.
There is considerable surprise however,
on the part Of officers of the General
Alumni Society because so far alumni
organizations have taken no action
toward nominating candidates. The
trustees of the University have stipulated
that the board of directors of the General
Alumni Society shall name the man for
the vacancy, but ir order to get the best
man available the officers of the society
more than a month ago sent word to all
the alumni associations throughout the
country and to all organized classes ask
ing them to suggest names. From these
candidates the board of directors expects
TO select one name.
It will probably not be until late this
fall that the vacancy is filled. The board
of directors of the General Alumni So
ciety. which consists OF GA men. does not
meet until October. and 1t is not believed
that the consensus of alumni opinion will
have been obtained at that time
on account OF the furore raised over
the refusal of the board of trustees to
reappoint DIR. Scott Nearing to a pro-
fessorship in the Wharton School II is
thought a great deal of interest will be
taken in the selection of the alumni
trustee this fall.

FEW "STENOGS" ARE OGLED
Not One in a Hundred Find Employ
ers to Be Washers" Says
One Agency Manager

The statement of Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
president of the Women's Homestead As
sociation, in Boston, TO the effect that
the average employer ogles his stenog-
rapher, offers her boxes of candy and
sits as close to her as possible during
dictations,, that also the stenographers
submit through fear of losing their po-
sitions, Lay apply to Boston, but not to
Philadelphia, according to E. o. Ander-
son, manager of the Underwood Type
writer Company's branch In this city.
The Underwood Company maintains a
free employment bureau, which in August
secured places for 6Si stenographers.
The records of the employment bureau
show that in less than one per cent. of
cases have employers made advances to
their stenographers. This shows, in Mr..
Anderson'S opinion, that cages are not
needed, but that a serious intent upon
the part Of the stenographer to make
good at Ler position will secure IL for her
permanently
Eighty per cent. of the stenographers
placed by the Underwood Company are
among the pretty girls for which Phila-
delphia is famous. and rs per cent. prove
their efficiency by retaining their posi-
tons Many of them have risen to posi-
tions of trust as private secretaries.
At the Office of the Remington, Victor
and Royal typewriter companies, Mr.. An
derson's statements were emphatically
corroborated by the managers.
Stenographers who were awaiting en-
ployment in some of these offices were
interviewed, and expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Smith did not know what she
was talking about
And one pretty girl said that Mrs.
Smith herself needed confinement in a
cage for her disparagement of the thou
sands OF girls who earn their living
pounding the keys.
