CAN'T COME BACK
Old Hoop Skirt Makes Futile
Effort in Chicago.
Wearer Couldn't Do Anything
or Go Anywhere.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Yesterday the
crinoline. hoopskirted girl tried to
come back to Chicago-and she could
MT get in.f She couldn't get into a
street car without mechanical assist
ance. She couldn't get into a Cottage
Grove avenue muzzle loader by any
device. Revolving doors were bar
riers effective as military oaroeo

elevators offered encouragement par
ticularly prohibitive.

but finds Chicago FAR too congesteo
for the costume"
Leaving the theater the first thing
Miss Palmer tried to do was to enter
an automobile. But automobiles nev-
er were made for such skirts, and even
with the exquisite assistance OF the
lovely Julian Eltinge-an expert on
crinoline-the best she could do was
to go 'over the side" like bandan-
naed pirate. boarding q treasure snip.
She tried the revolving door of the
Hearst building and had to turn her
hoops upward and roll in" Then she
tried the elevators in the same DulIo-
ing. and it was necessary to send Tor

As a final test Miss Palmer decided
To experiment with theater seats. She
went to a box office and asked for a
ticket
For yourself alone?" asked the
agent.
Yes" she said
How many seats do you need - in

And then Miss Palmer gave her
verdict.

for a century ago." she said. But not

DUTIES OF NAVAL
BOARD ARE IN DOUBT
General Board Status Is Mil
Under New Law.

Washington. (SpeciaD The status
Of the duties and powers of the in
cumbent of the newly created post
of chief of operations in the navy de.
partment will be one of serious doubt
and possible controversy during the
administration of Secretary Daniels.
1t was pointed out that any secretary
desiring to have the bureau of opera
tons fill the place that the originators
intended, would solve the question by
appointing Admiral Dewey to the post
of chief and making the members
of the general board his aides. The
general board has not statutory au-
thorization and was constituted mere
ly by naval regulations. AS result
1t has no authority and on some ques-
tons little or no influence
Mr.. Daniels brought about suitable
amendment of the original provision
for the creation of bureau of opera
tions. He has gave out an interview
declaring that he had brought about
amendment of the original provision
because it would have had the effect
Of abolishing the general board. or
at least impairing its usefulness in
the matter of the preparation of war
plans. The bill as passed still gives
the chief of operations the duty of
preparing, under the direction of the
secretary, plans for war. Mr. Daniels
admitted that IT was most uncertain
to have the task of preparing war
plans remain with the general board,
but the law now definitely puts this
duty in the hands of the chief of oper-
ations.

For Or Against.

The announcement of Hon. H. V,
McChesney, former Secretary of State
and Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, as candidate for Governor before
the Democratic primary, has created
quite a stir among the politicians. He
comes out squarely for the submission
of Statewide prohibition to the voters
of Kentucky by constitutional amen nd
ment He also advocates that the law
be imperative for several wears as to
manufacturers who have large invest
ment SO as to enable them to dispose of
or change their plants and stock on
hand. Thsre is no question but that
Mr.. McChesney will have behind him
Senator Beckham, Gen. Haley and the
temperance element of the Democratic
party, and that the race will be fought
out with Mr.. Stanley, who will repre-
sent the liberal element. 1t will be
close fight and the campaign will doubt.
less grow quite warm as the primary
approaches. Mr.. McChesney is a
splendid campaigner and will make
votes wherever he goes. The attempt
to side-track the state wide question
was of no avail and the old parties will
have TO come out either for or against
the proposition. -Harrodsburg Leader.
