DOUBLE CONTEMPT OF COURT
Ger. Gilman Marston Was Thoroughly
Disguised With Court and Will
ling to Pay for 1t.

The following anecdote Is told OF
Gen. Gilman MarstOn, a once famous
New Hampshire lawyer:
General Marston was attending
court at small country town when
young attorney made a motion that
was denied by the court. The young
man demonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling of the
Judge. So vehemently did he do SO
that he was fined $40 for contempt of
court. An older attorney took the
matter up, and he was fined a similar
sum. Still another, who thought he
stood a little better with the judge,
endeavored to straighten the matter
out, but he, too, enriched the Golfers
Of the state by paying "ten-spot" for
contempt.
General Marston was then seen to
rise in his seat and advance to the
clerks desk. Taking his long pocket
book from his pocket, he took out
two $40 bills and laid them on the
desk.
"What is that for?" said the Judge.
81 want you to distinctly under
stand" said the general, shat have
just twice as much contempt for this
court as any man here, and 1 am pay
ing for it,

SKIRTS TO BE LONGER
ANKLE LENGTH is DECREE OF
PARTISAN MoDISTES.
There Will Be Difference Of Opinion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of the Change,
but II Seems Sure
to Come.

The great majority of women are
too restless and uncertain to let one
costume follow in the footsteps OF
another and no dressmaker Is suffi-
GENTLY persuasive to make them see
the advantage of this course, but
the fact that it has succeeded should
be lesson to those who indulge in
themselves too free a fancy in the
field Of costumery; all of which Is
not very far away from the subject
of wardrobe efficiency, because it deals
with the problem of how to save
money and vitality.
There is no reason to discard full
tunic over a moderately narrow skirt
this season, simply because you
owned one last season; if it was not
becoming, then there is an excellent
reason for never getting it again;
but if it was satisfactory, there Is
every reason to repeat it when the
new fashions offer chance.
1t is not possible to put finger
definitely on any certain assortment
of clothes from leading house and
say that it shows a tendency toward
longer skirts, but there is strong
feeling in the air that the movement
is to this end. The cables from Paris
regarding the actual gowns that
smart women are wearing tell of the
frightening of street skirts by at
least three inches; instead Of escap-
ing the boot top, they escape the
ankle. Both Jenny and Cheruit have
lent themselves to this change. There
are few women who can produce a
new fashion through their exploita-
ton of it in Paris today, but no one
can fail to find significance in the
fact that the leading houses and the
leading women have joined in new
movement.
In this country two notable houses
have put out skirts that touch the
floor, but they are not attractive;

Harm Done by Hertzian Waves

Harm zone ny HertzIan waves.
Ever since the extensive commercial
employment of wireless telegraphy,
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves Sc
riously affect organic life. In fact,
some have even suggested that laws
or regulations should be enacted to
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate, Dr. G. Abel-Musgrave recent
Iy asked several questions on the SUBJ
ject to be answered by number of
prominent German scientists. The
summary of their answers was that
wireless waves have no influence on
organic life, nor do they alter climatic
conditions, although it is true that
certain electrical stresses are capable
of accelerating rainfalls.

value at present, because it's sponsors
are important designers, and what
ever they do is followed up by some,
If not many, fashionable women.
There are many who think that 1t is
difficult thing to choose between
very long, full skirt and a very
short, full skirt, but it seems to me
that the latter is by far the better.
Even in dancing, it is more graceful,
and if the new fashion for wearing
high-laced boots of brocade or satin
in the evening prevails, the shortness
of the skirt will be attractively Offset.
