WoMAN's DRESS. -

WOMAN'S DRESS. - The clergy
in Milwaukee is up in arms regarding
woman's dress. I do not believe that
the present mode Of dress is instru-
mental in making others sin. That
which causes indecent expressions
and insults are the shows men and
boys are attending. Billboards on
the sidewalks look bad enough with
out going in to see the real show.
Half length sleeves, round cut or
shaped neck, not cut too deep, are
respectable and comfortable. The
skirt length, between ankle and shoe
mouth is sanitary and comfortable,
especially for mothers when carrying
Youngsters. There are fewer street
car accidents since the shorter skirts
have been worn. The health dept
also has had less work because Of
them. 1 believe in girls dressing pref
tily because God made every flower
beautiful and everything divine

RECOMMENDATIONS One Picker
ing cites my HillstrOm article and
whangs me for an enthusiast given
to absurdities. Not knowing Picker
ing, I half suspect this ridiculous crit
icism to be a joke.
HillstrOm was forced to accept an
advocate whom he had rejected. Lat
er, a capable lawyer took hold,
glanced at the jury, then whispered:
Joe, guilty or not, you're lost" The
experienced lawyer had seen, as
Pickering stated, a jury of order
loving people" under sealed orders.
After the trial and condemnation,
a sovereign European power protest
ed and Pres. Wilson interviewed. Gov.
Spry refused clemency and then, as
one of the pardon board before which
the case came, upheld his guberna-
torial opinion. Hillstrom's attorney
subsequently was debarTed from
practice in Utah for charging Hill
strOm's murder to the rich and holy
clique that misrules Utah. This out
tit has prescribed the l. w. W., which
includes Bill Haywood, who was born
in Salt Lake City. Bill and his boys
may fear some things, but it is not
stOckyards by-product.
HiIlstrom was shot to death by be-
ings who received $40 per head for
the job. It mattered nothing wheth-
er he had killed one grocer or twelve
ex-slave-drivers or nobody at ALL He
was the poet Of the L w. w. and he
must die.
Pickering drools about "a brawl
over some woman" and deprecates
such characters" etc. He may safe
" void his low innuendo, since Hill
strom is dead, for big Joe HiHsuOm
resembled Abe Lincoln, who also had
affairs" with women. A normal man
deems it an honor to take a shot, if
necessary, for a woman, and those

Eficiency in the household

Efficiency locks toward the saving OF
steps and the elimination of waste effort.
Let us housewives therefore begin by
taking up all the floors in the house.
With no floors. countless steps could be
saved. and there would be the decided
advantage of having the whole house
thrown open, with one room being as
easy of access as another. Any one work
ing i'm one of the upstairs chambers, for
instance, could reach the kitchen in no
time if there were no floors intervening.
This little change in the running Of
the house could be effected over night
and with very little trouble. All that is
needed is a saw and another saw. These
can be procured from any saw dealer.
Having procured the necessary i'm
plements all that remains is to take up
the floors. which is a process exactly the
reverse of that of laying floors. (See
article on Laying Floors next Sunday.
Order your copy from your newsdealer
early)
Once this reform is put into effect the
difference in running the house will be
noticed Immediately.

And in this query you but express the
wonderment of many scientists, for it is
a point over which there has been much

On the other hand. it has Deen argued
that ielly-fish can have no real sense Of
shame or they wouldn't behave as they
do. This. of course, is good point, and
serves only to make the question a hard
er one to answer.
No matter which side Of the argument
YOU take, it is agreed that no good can
come of plaguing jelly-fish or making
them feel de trop. If anything you can
do or say will make the day bit happier

lures, surely Science would be the last

tory and compared with the newly-dls-
covered skull. with the following start
ling deductions:
Cd BY comparing frontal elevation A
in the skull with the corresponding ele-
walton A in the foot practically no SINH
larity can be detected.
(2) In the case of the skull the man
dible B is curved, while in the foot the
nhalany is. or would be if it were drawn
correctly. curved; but in the one case
the curve is convex and toward the
souamous-temporal, while in the other
il is concave and away from the tarsus,
which makes the entire comparison as
good as useless.
CD The cruX of the proof comes IN
the similarity Of the skull itself to the
foot itself. which is clearly shown in
Chart 3. Here it will be seen that the
anthropoid must have walked on his
head. because, search as they would, the
diggers could find no feet within any
reasonable proximity to go with the
skull. and the thing certainly had to
walk somehow or it never could have
got to the place in which it was found.
Therefore. as will be seen by consulting
Chart 3, if (a) the entire anatomy, all
parts assembled, consisted of one skull,
slightly soied, and (b) tits granted that
some kind of locomotion was necessary,
the obvious conclusion is that this office
as well as the digestive functions and
the exercise of swimming, was per-
formed by the head.
