FEW REGISTRANTS AT
COURT HOUSE TUESDAY
Big Rush Probably Over. Women
Help With Work

Not very many registrants ap-
peared in the Court House last night
for assistance in filling out their ques-
tionnaires. For the past week the
Court House has been crowded every
day and night, and the small crowd
last night indicates that the big rush
is probably over
Judge Moss and his assistants, in
cluding several ladies, were on hand
last night as usual, but there was so
little to do that the most of them left
before 8 o'clock
A number of local women have been
offering their services from time to
time to assist in filling out the ques-
tionnaires, and their services have
been much appreciated by the men
workers.

Hindoo Prince and Missionaries.

from ASH
Never shall I forget a frank CONVEX
sation which 1 had in his palace with
his highness the Gaekwar of Baroda-
He told me of some of the measures
which he has already introduced for
the betterment of his subjects and of
the difficulties which he had encounter
ed His admiration for things Ameri
can is so unqualified as to be almost
naive, but think l was most of all i'm
pressed when he said, 81 am thinking
of calling together the missionaries and
asking them to tell me their views on
how we can improve the quality of the
native priesthood. Then l want to call
the priests together and say to them.
Look at the missionaries. See the sac
rifices they are making to help our peo-
pie. You ought to go out and do the
same kind of work." His highness
has already established a professorship
of comparative religions in the Baroda
College for the express purpose Of in
Producing the native religious leaders

therefore everything is merely ''re-
vived."
When the elbow sleeve was considered
by Paris as an American fashion pro-
jected through the demand for conVen-
ience it was looked upon by the ultra
smart French designer as part and par
eel of that workaday costumery
which the Americans demanded and
with which the European elegante
would have nothing to do. We were
called working people.
After a while Europe as we'll as
America adopted the short sleeve. and
those in this country who were fastid-
ious began to side with the French in
their belief that the fashion was inele-
CANT For three years we witnessed
streets filled with girls who wore elbow
sleeves in separate white blouses. with
Dutch necks, no collars, no gloves and
separate skirts. That was an ugly
day in costumery. Let US hopN that it
will not be revived. although there is
every evidence that the seeds of this
evil have already been sowh.

garment. sufficient change from what
has been to upset the calculations of
thousands who wanted to wear the
clothes they possessed
"a
Skirts, for instance: The slightest
flare at any seam makes even a con-
servative woman wearing such a gar
ment wish she had stayed at home or
remodeled her gown before she went
out. Fortunately. the alteration from
a wide to a narrow silhouette is mas
tered even by those who do not claim
to be experts. The seams of tailored
skirt, for instance. are merely ripped
upward from the bottom and taken in
as a continuation of the straight line
from the hips.
The hem of frocks cannot be handled
in so simple a way; but fortunately for
the economical woman. or the one
whose patriotism has made her think
that she should be economical in this
question of apparel, the French have
handed US out in generous manner
two or three very clever tricks that
will turn the old into the new.
One of them is the holding in of
low the knees, finishing in a bow at
the side.
Another trick is the gathering in of
the fullness at the side of skirt to a
straight. embroidered band, which is
strongly reminiscent of the first hobble
skirts.
The woman in the sewing room finds
delight in the fact that fullness is not
taboo. She realizes that she can have
whatever material she desires in
skirt if it does not flare away from the
hips or the knees.
What the French call the 'jupe ton
neau" has certain popularity. and the
woman who owns a skirt of this kind
