ESHORT SKIRTS MAKE'EM EAT''

Lecturer Would Cut Living Cost by
Changing Fashions.
Philadelphia.-Short skirts and silk
stockings made girl eat so much she
becomes bad tempered. ..
An inch from the skirt means a
pound of beefsteak inside.
Highly colored dresses are very dan
gerous and make girl irritable.
A calico dress is better than imita-
ton silk.
A woman's first duty is to make her
self as beautiful as she can.
These are few excerpts from the
law of clothes laid down by Miss Jane
Newcomb. State college extension
lecturer, in a talk to a group of women
at the Friends Central school.
Miss Newcomb first gave warning
that the. less girl wears the more she
must eat to keep warm. In the day of
short skirts and high living costs Miss
Newcomb has in her investigation into
the folly Of fashions come to the con-
clusion that to lengthen the skirt Is to
shorten the grOcer's bill.

FATE PLAYS STRANGE
PRANK WITH SAILOR
After Crossing Ocean In an Open Boat
He Loses His Life In River

Lora1n, o. Ludwig Eisenbraun. a
German sailor, who was drowned here
recently in Black river, was treated
very strangely by fate. Eisenbraun
was the hero of one of the greatest
teats in marine history, achieved when
he crossed the Atlantic ocean in a
nineteen foot dory.
After encountering furious storms at
sea, facing death a score of times in
MS fran open boat, he lost his life
when his hand slipped on an lev rope.
which he was using to climb to the
deck Of lake steamer on which he
was a Waterman. and fell back into
the river.
On April II, 1908, Eisenbraun sailed
from Boston harbor in his dory, Co.
lumbus II. On Nov. % of the same
year he locked his craft at Gibraltar.
once In storm his boat was can.
sized, and he lost water and provisions.
He righted the boat, and two DAVIS
later was reprovisioned by a British
steamer.
He steered his craft against a Sleep
ing Whale, and the aroused monster
nearly capsized him.
Eisenbraun had been a sailor on the
great lakes for five years. He was
forty-eight years old.
