PROBLEM OF THE SKIRT
CAUSES MOST CONCERN AMONG
WOMEN PLANNING CLOTHES.
Designers Are Making Struggle for
Less Full Skirts-Waist Line to
Be Smaller in the New
Designs.

The designers say that there will be
struggle for less full skirts before
the winter is we'll advanced. That is
a drop of poison in the present cup of
happiness. Women have shown en-
thusiasm and gratitude for the reten-
ton of the full skirt; they are glad
that there is some chance of using the
suits of last spring.
If the designers win out in an effort
to bring back narrow skirts before
the new year, then women will find
themselves compelled to buy new
clothes or go in for the process of al
teration, if they would be in the
fashion.
What About the New Skirts?
Each of the women who are regard
ing the prospect of buying new clothes
for the autumn is far more concerned
with the skirt than with any other
part of the costume, unless it be the
| nerve-racking knot for the woman
| with a long face to unravel
The truth concerning skirts is that
so many varieties are offered, no WON
an need actually worry. Even the
full tunic is admitted. True, the skirt
beneath the tunic is not as narrow as
it was last November, when Jenny and
Callot flooded the country with skirts
| that had a narrow line about the
| ankles, but sharp contrast is still
| made between the tunic and the lower
skirt. Both are cut circular and each
| is lifted at the hips, for the umbrella
shape rules on a majority of the
gowns. When this wide circular cut
is thoroughly understood and well
managed, it is far prettier than the
skirt which is full at the waist and
narrow at the ankles
Waist Line Is Smaller.
This season such fuIlness at the
waist line will be eliminated to large
extent, which is good news to all but
| the emaciated women. The cut of
skirt which is widely adopted and
dominates the field of clothes is what
was once known as the umbrella skirt.
| There is no better name for it. 1t fits
the waist, is smoothed out over the
| hips, falls Imply around the ankles,
| its fullness folding up on itself, and
| with a hem sometimes irregular and
sometimes even.
There is no struggle to keep the
| fullness from falling in front of the
knees; for that idea of squaring off
the front of the gown and putting the
fullness at the side is evidently put
back on the shelves with last years
| fashions. 1t was never attractive, but
| 1t was tolerated and accepted because
| it was one Of the ways out of serious
sartorial disaster

The taxicab has always been con-
sidered one Of the most expensive
means of transportation ever devised
by mortal man The rapidity with
which taxi meter piles up miles on
miles of costly travel has been a IA
vorite topic of the jokesmith and the
cartoonists for several very profitable
years. The advent OF the cheap and
efficient automobile should have
wrought a change in this condition
long ago. but evidently city people
have become so accustomed to being
robbed in this fashion that it is only
very recently any material reduction
in taxicab fares has been announced.

charge twenty cents for an average
trip in the business district. The
trend once started downward. still

National defense. merchant marine,
and rural credits-these are the three
most important subjects to be laid be
fore the national Congress at the COM
ing session of that body. 1t would be
hard to say which of the three is more
important to the welfare of the ma
ton. To some extent they are hand
in hand. AT least an enlarged mer-
chant marine must be supplemented
by an increase in the navy. since
America must be prepared to protect
her ships upon the. high seas if they
are to be of any value TO her. In this
connection the announced support of
Charles F. Falconer, president of the
Merchant and Manufacturers Associ-
alton, is of more than passing interest.
Mr.. Falconer considers that the Nc
Adoo plan of a naval auxiliary mer-
chant marine, which shall serve as a
part of a permanent American mer-
chant marine is one of the immediate
needs of the country. He does not
believe that private enterprise will
build the ships under the new Sea
mems Act. and thinks. accordingly,
that it is up to the Government.

The American people have pro-
nounnced propensity for the terms
"record-breaking.p Largest in the
world" and the worlds greatest" We
want our athletes TO be world heaters.
our industrial enterprises TO be second
to none in magnitude and Importance.
Such spirit is commendable. An ar
dent desire for supremacy in all lines
is the strongest possible incentive to
increased effort and steady progress.
But the tendency to call everything
that we do. everything that We produce
"the best ever can be overdone. Es-
pecially when superlatfve adjectives
are applied to our naval achievements,
there is danger of luuing the people
into a sense of false security. Our
latest warship, the Nevada. for in
stance, has been grand-iloquently pro-
claimed 'the most powerful fighting
machine in the world" The man who
wrote the line didn't pause to consider
that European nations have ships as
large as the Nevada, making so per
cent more speed, and carrying, for all
we know, 16-inch guns to the Nevada's
l4-inch guns.

est. Military and naval training are
Just now the fads of the hour. With the
advent of peace in Europe the fad will
pass, and the American people, who
are like most other people, will leave
the business of protecting the coun-
try" up to some one else, some one
whose trade il is to look after the ma
tional defense. some one who is paid
to do it. In consequence unless there
is some element of obligatory duty
about these schemes for developing of
icers, hospital stats and power boat
auXiliaries, they will die out as rapidly
as they have come into being. Every
body is willing to be fireman when
overwhelming conhagration threatens
TO mar the peace and security of their
existence; but when the disaster is no
longer imminent, when il is merely
question of small, insignificant fires,
and drudgery, none of us care to per-
sist in the arduous drills and monoto-
nous routine necessary to make us eff
ficient firemen.
