SKIRTS TO BE SHORTER

Short skirts to be shorter than and in addi-
ton they are to be Of the cnging type. This is the
fashion news sent out from Chicago recently and is
stated to be the dictum of the Designers Association
its last revue held in Porkopos The news is rather
startling denoting that there will be still greater ex-
posing of the underpinnng of the ladies' the state
men is that there will be several inches taken off the bot
tom of skirts The most remarkable feature of the state
men is that it eminates from Chicago The windy city is
authority pork products and crooked politics;
wheat and grain gambling, mostly done with stacked
decks mail order houses and Jim Ham Lewis; but be-
ing the leader of fashions and the dictator of styles
feminine is something heretofore out of its class.
What effect this shortening Of the skirts will have
the balance Of the feminine it is too early even
guess at 1t is possible this razeeng of the skirt be
accomplished this time if not than three inches are
taken from the bottom without causing hiatus in the
tout ensemble 1t certain though that the proposed
shortening has gone to about the limit unless there is
also to be shortening of the corset and drawing up Of
the straps and buckles that hold up the hosiery
and heaven and the women only know what else. The
average corset is rugged with as many straps as sub
urban street car and they must be for some purpose
Maybe if fashion makes another cut we may find out
Anyway Chicago has issued the decree and whatever it s
if it is the STYLE it will be followed bindy as blind pig
Also the style will materia but the difference in
price will not be material unless it to grow larger
the garment gets smaller.

Spectacular Plungers
Cleaned Up Good Sums

New York, Dee. 20.-The most spec.
taeular stock market plunging Wall
street has known in nearly two years
has had as its principals Burton Cas-
ties and "Barney" Baruch, two of the
most daring operators in the financial
district, according to stories told by
brokers today.
Baruch, who is said to have many
close friends in Washington official cir
cles, is credited with million dollar
cleanup during the past few days. Yes
terday he began selling United States
steel common heavily when that stock
mounted to 1l6 after the first dispatch
es on Lloyd George S speech reached the
street. Castles, who is better known as
a cotton plunger, bought steel at the
bottom and carried it profitably for an
hour. At the crest of the upward move
ment both men, acting Independently
according to reports, turned to the bear
side and launched great drives on the
market, dumping thousands of shares OF
stock.
Barueh is said to have closed out his
accounts with an immense profit. Gas.
ties, according to some reports, lost
some of his paper profits in the sudden

A DEALER IN DIAMONDS

An American. apparently a dealer in stolen diamond rings. was taken into custody night before last by Con- stable Estrada and yesterday the man was turned over to the county authori- ties, who purpose to investigate the case more thoroughly. The dealer had diamond ring, according to local jeweler, worth at least s200. and he was endeavOring to soak it for $2o- which he said he must have at once in order to meet the first payment on the ring which he stated he had orig inally purchased from a woman for S50. The man had operated in Mesa, too, but not encountering success. he had come to Tempe. and the local con- ctable immediately nailed him. The man told a pretty straight story but it is believed that his arrest will lead to the apprehension of the real guilty party.
