One of the semioccasional flashes that
reconcile us TO the more than frequent
dulness of the deliberations of "the Con
gress" is this bit plucked from the Con.
gressonal Record. The time of that
august body was being taken up with
discussion of a $4,000 appropriation for
a California park. The dramatis persons
are Mr.. Borand, of Missouri, and Mr.
Longworth, who will be remembered 10
society circles as the. husband Of Alics
Roosevelt:
MIR. Borlard-The chief attraction Of th!
pa rk is that II contains active volcano, and
Just the volcano is particularly active
so there is no occasion for putting any improve

Mr. Borland--Yes.

Banana Is City of Future,

At the mouth Of the great Kongo
river, here as wide as an arm Of the
sea, stands the important city with
the picturesque name of Banana. The
Importance of Banana lies in the fu-
ture rather than the present. 1t is the
port Of entry to that immense wilder
ness filed with a thousand undevelop-
ed possibilities known as the Belgian
Kongo. If Belgium comes through the
war with her African empire intact
Banana will probably grow into the
leading Belgian colonial metropolis. At
present it is little more than a name
and a possibility.
Banana consists of an excellent nat
ural harbor and a village Of a few
score homesick Europeans. Consider
Ing the Importance Of Kongo trade
even today it is surprising that local
development has not gone farther.
There is no adequate wharf or pier.
There are no adequate unloading ia
cilities. There are only stretches Of
sandy beach dotted with noble palms,
great mangrove trees with their multi
tudinous earth gripping branches, a
pier Of rotting and battered piles and
native canoes with their ebony oars
men. The prospect is beautiful in a.
natural way, but there Is a surprising
lack of Industrial development.

TO BE WORN SHORTER
But Abhreviation of Woman's Skirt
Is Small Matter.

Skirts are to be shorter and scant-
err Such is the prophecy of that
mysterious arbitress Fashion, whose
DEGREES, like those Of Fate, none may
resist. The question has already
been raised by masculine censores
morum. who naturally know nothing
of the matter, how a restricting pro-
cess can go on with due regard to
that modesty which, as the Gaelic
proverb has it, is the beauty of WON
en-. The obvious answer, is that
mcdesty is hard to define. 1t resides
rather in the wearer than in the
gown The standard of one age is
not the standard of another. Have
not those who made the loudest out
cry against the short skirt already
learned to appreciate its fitness? If
abhreyiation is to be carried still fur
'ther, woman may be trusted to make
1t alike pleasing to the eye and salts
flying to the moral sense. Seneca had
the notion that the law VIII permit
things modesty does not sanction.
But that is plain man-made law.
Fashion is another matter What
ever is, is right. in this case. Let
not ignorant man imagine a vain
thing.
There is a complaint. too, as to
"trouserettes." which the wartime la
bors of women have done so much to
make popular This is clearly an out
come of mere prejudice. The new
garments are more becoming than
those "pantalettes" which our grand
mothers wore in their youth. They
have the virtue Of fitness for their
purpose. Is not that one test of pro
pTiety? Is it not the supreme, test?
To wear bathing suit in street,
ball gown in the morning, This sug-
gests a lack of that nice discrimina-
ton which is the basis of modesty
1T depends on the way it's done
was the refrain of one popular song
A working philosophy of life is
summed w in these simple words
Short skirts or long, trouserettes or
ogeralls. Lovely Woman viii look
her best and subdue the heart. Nor
does she need TO be, as the Puritan
Milton said. richly gay in gems ana
wanton dress" to do IT, Whatever
she wears must be becoming. Phil
