Shall the women of America stan
dardize their street dress? Two thous-
and women, delegates. alternates and
visiting club members of the Thirteenth
Biennial convention of the Federation
of Women's clubs answered the fore
going question in the affirmative at an
open conference of the home economics
committee of the federation.
The committee had spent two years
in investigating the practicability of
the plan, and as a result it was prepar-
ed to introduce a resolution favoring it.
Gowns for evening wear are to be ex-
cluded from the proposed limitations.

Nathan, president of the Consumers
league Of Louisville; DIR. Josephine Z.

child hygiene; DR.. Benjamin K. An
drews, of New York Teachers College.
and Lady Duff Gordon spoke in favor
of the proposed plan. Lady Aberdeen
was an interested auditor. Miss Helen
l.. johnson, chairman of the committee,
who presided at the conference, declar-
ed that after a study of years she had
arrived at the conclusion that a stan
dardized street dress for women, on a
par with, the conventional sack suit Of
the men, would not only make the !
American women more dignifed in APP |
pearsnce and department, but would |
reduce her dressmaking bills by one
half. Manufacturers whom she con-
suited. Miss johnson said, were in
hearty sympathy with the plan. Lack !
Of a conventional standard, Miss John !
son said, was directly responsible for
what she characterized as "the freak
ish and almost bizarre dress of the
American women Of today"
women should strive for simplicity |
and .modesty in the dress, Mrs. Edison !
said. The ever-changing styles of |
today are responsible for street dresses
that not only astonish, but horrify.
The latest style, it appears, calls for
abbreviation Of dresses at top and bot
tom. in some cases beyond the bounds
Of modesty."

The W0mans Club
tEdIted By rhe woman. clnhl

An indoor civic parade was the pic
turesque and pleasing method by which
the Woman's club Of Owensboro re-
viewed its work for the past year at
the final meeting for the spring, held
Friday afternoon at the armory. In
the eight years of its existence the
club has accomplished many things for
the good Of the community, and few
steps have been taken toward making
Owensbore a healthier, more beautiful
or more desirable place which have not
either been initiated or heartily sup
ported by the club.
The idea of an indoor parade. by
means of which all the activities of the
club might be presented concretely to
the members and public, was carried
out effectively.
While civic parade has been gwen
by the state federation this was one Of
the first ever undertaken by town the
size Of Owensboro, and was wonder
full success, being interesting and in
structive. II will probably Re made an
annual feature Of club work.

Mrs. Burdette. for years an advocate
Of dress reform, who aroused country
wide discussion by wearing white for
mourning on the death of her husband
some time ago, was as emphatic as Mrs
Edison in her remarks. She defended
her detection from the custom of wear
ing black mourning. why wear black
for the guest of heaven? Mrs. Bur-
dette asked. HAS your psychic sense
given you conception of the effect on
your your soul of wearing certain
colors?' Women's clothing should ex.
press her philosophy of life, Mrs. Bur.

expression Of her artistic soul. II
should be simple. but expressive of
honesty and courage typical of woman
kind. But" Mrs. Burdette concluded
THE chief question; Can you afford
your dress?"
Food, shelter and the child also were
discussed at the conference. Miss
julia Lathrop, chief of the children's
bureau. declared the growing infant
mortality rate IN this country should
be given serious attention by the gov

front, pulling away slowly but surely,
many a weary knot separates Ty COBB
from the leadership in the American
League. Ty has advanced into second
place, gaining three points on his last

corresponding gain, and the relative
positions Of the men remain unchanged:

$3.50 with pride. Cobb views q marx

BROWNS IN MAD RUSH
FOR TOP OF LADDER

The St. Louis Browns are making a
mad rush for the top of the American
League percentage column, and have
established a seasons record of thir-
teen consecutive victories.
One reason for the success of the
team is the fact that the men have
been camping out in the baseball park.
II has been so unbearably hot in the
Mound City that the players could not
sleep for more than an hour or so in
a night. They complained, and Fielder
Jones conceived the idea of pitching
tents in the ball park and having the
bows get their rest there.
A little research into the baseball
life OF Fielder Jones will reveal the
fact that his teams invariably put on
a squirt toward the top during the
middle or latter part Of the season,
which usually consists of a prolonged
winning streak of anywhere from ten
TO twenty straight victories.
Last year as manager OF the 81.
Louis Federals. Jones led his boys on
a victorious road trip. putting together
thirteen consecutive victories. which
put the Terriers in the pennsnt hunt.
where they stayed the remainder Of
the year, losing the flag by less than d
point.

10 Devel0b Big
Team for Penn
Quaker Coach Holds That Small
Men Often Make Great
Gridiron Players.

Bob Folwell. coach Of the University
Of Pennsylvania, does not hold to the
idea that size makes the man on the
cridiron. lie wants as many Of the
big fellows as he can get, but he IN
tends to give all candidates uniform
and the chance to make the team. He
cites several instances of where little
men make names for themselves on
the football field, naming among others
Bill Tow, who played quarterback at
Amherst four years and never weighed
more than 118 pounds in his football
uniform; Pishon, of Dartmouth, who
was never much above 100, and Gus
Welsh, of the Carlisle Indians, who
PLAYED four years and never weighed
more than 1875 pounds.
When talking of his plans to develop
a team at Penn Folwell said;
81 will give a uniform to every man
who turns out. Sizes don't count with
me. You can never tell how good a
man is by his shape. Some OF the boys
are now kicking the ball at Franklin
Field. Hene Miller turns out about
twice a week and Charley Remming and
Lou Little are fooling with the charg-
ing machine The official call, however,
is for September II, at which time the
varsity will report at Langhorne, Penn.
"The practice at Langhone will be
open at all times and any tourist who
wishes to motor out TO watch US VIII

became the greatest quarterback of his

The call to arms issued by the coach
has been sent far afield to Ben Derr

There have been few youngsters who
have climbed the ladder at the same

was elected captain Of his aggregation.
From Los Angeles young Terry
jumped 10 Stanford University, and
still continued to show such good
brand of baseball that he made his

Naturally the publicity that came to
Zeb through his college baseball
brought scores of minor league clubs
who were anxious to persuade the lad
TO sign a contract.

tone that carried conviction. "Once

His endless delays fret the batters,
