Men profess to scorn women
changing STYLES but are secretly in.
tensely interested. Woman's concern
probably depends more on the male in
terest than on any natural love for the
pure art of clothes designing Having
passed through the various stages of
sheath skirt. split skirt. short skirt.
and sport skirt, it comes as surprise
to note that Maryland grand jury
condemns the summer style in skirts on
the ground of public morals.
Anatole France in his clever satire
on mankind relates that immortality
among the penguins did not commence
until the Devil contrived to get one of
the young female penguins into close
fitting gown in which her physical
charms were emphasized b, being al
most hidden. The Maryland jury be-
fng mere men is aggrieved. perhaps.
because recent styles have destroyed
the traditional illusion that women
floated along etherialy, supported by
nothing more substantial than-lower
extremities, shall We say? Perhaps
the jury is taking this way of getting
even for the loss.
Autumn fashions forecast longer
skirt, not as a matter of warmth, but
because it is more graceful. But
having had an opportunity to discover
that women are equipped with sub
stantial lower limbs will modern men
be as weak as the penguins? Will We
once more be slaves to imagination?
Can we forget? Isn't the sport length
skirt the golden mean. despite the YER
dict of the Maryland jury?

Many thousands of Americas loyal.
well-meaning and worthy citizens do
not just quite understand the reason
for these liberty loans. All their lives
they have regarded the United States
as the richest, the most prosperous and
greatest nation on earth. To them it
has been a land of peace and plenty,
1.-THE home of the free and the land of
the brave. In word. Gods coun-
try.
And now that war has come eight or
ten thousand miles away. it seems in
conceivable that it should be necessary
| for nation of such boundless resources,
Of such wonderous wealth and such var
led and thriving industries and com
mercial interests, to be asking its cit
izenry without regard to wealth or sta
ton to contribute to the support of the
armies it must send far aield.
America, like its people, has been
profigate of its riches. Probably the
less said of the past extravagances of
national government, the better. You
are largely responsible, for you have
seen the acts of your representatives,
at Washington without protest.
But the fact is that of the trifle more
than billion dollars of revenues an
nuallv. nothing has been saved. No
surplus has accumulated IN the treas
ury. And the rainy day has come for
the nation iii comes for its individuals.
Now we need 500, 900, 900, 900 for this
first year of war. 1t will go for loans
10 our allies; for the equipping of the
navy and the arming of the land for ces
for munitions of war and big and little
guns; for army and navy pay: for the
purchase and forwarding of the ire
mendous food supplies necessary for
army support, and for army insurance
to support stricken families.
Meantime our normal sources Of rev.
enue are interrupted and our expense
Of government increased. We must
have about $40. 500. 900, 900 more ready
cash this year than last.
And the size of your Liberty Bond
purchase will measure your real worth
to your country as citizen.

greatly aid the assessors by giving

NASlllNGTON. Feb s.
Spain and Switzerland probably will not
accede now to President Wilson'S sugges-
tions that all neutrals sever diplomatic re-
latiouS with Germany. according to reliable
intmations here this afternoon
Their course probably will be based on
the fact that they are serving respectively
the interests Of America and Germany
Ambassador HianO indicated today that
Spain probably would publish by tomorrow
some indications Of her position but he
was doubtful this would we formal
answer to President Wilson's formal sug-
gcStiunS to nCutras
Switzerland probably will take the same
course with Spain.
The likelihood Of Spanish rejection OF
Wilson's suggestion is heightened by the
fact that spain, apparently, has been anx-
tous recently to play larger part in ulti-
mate peace maneuNerS.
The Spanish Ambassador called at the
state Department today and conferred with
counselor Polk for about thirty minutes
Neither he nor Polk would discuss what
they talked about.

1920 EXPLOSIONS CARRY
AUTOMOBILE FIFTEEN MILES

How many miles do you get to
gallon" is a question much heard
among motorists. Cadillac engineers
have gone further than that. They
know how many separate explosions
there are to gallon, at least in thell
own eight-cylinder car, and just how
much explosive force there is in
drop Of fuel
In travelling distance OF fifteen
miles there are approximately 151,2OC
explosions. Hence on the basis of con
Stunning one gallon Of fuel in that dis
lance the gallon is divided up into
about ISL. 200 parts, or each about the
seven-millionth part Of gallon.
But this little drop does a giants
work in propelling the car. The very
diminutive size of the sphere of gaso
line required for a single explosion en-
ables one to appreciate the work OF
the carburetor, and the importance oil
facility for perfect adjustment If the
gasoline which goes into each cylinder
should be the one-millionth part of a
gallon less than the tiny drop required
by a certain set of conditions, the mix
ture would be about Is per cent too
lean; if it were larger by the same
amount, the mixture would be to an
equal per cent too rich.
