Chicago, Nov. lo.--A sensation
was caused in Port Chester when II
became known that the Rev. Harry
B. Head, rector of St. Peters Epis-
copal church, the most exclusive in
the village, had requested that his
name and that of Mrs. Head be
stricken from the printed list of
patrons and patronesses of the
parada which is in progress for the
benefit of the Woman's club tuber-
culosis fund.
The meager costumes worn by
some young women in the parade
prompted Rector Heald's action. In
statement he said:
II am entirely in sympathy with
the Woman's club in the work it is
doing for the prevention and relief
OF tuberculosis. There Isl however.
at the present time menace to the
welfare of our nation much more
subtle and destructive and far more
difficult to combat than bodily sick
ness and disease. That menace is
the lowering Of the high ideals and
moral standards of womanhood
manifested by the tendency toward
extremes in dress, which are both
immodest and immoral"
Among the patrons are several Of
ficials of Mr.. Heads church. anoth-
er clergymen and his wife. and some
of the best known men and women
of the community.
Sleeveless, low cut costumes
with skirts reaching only to the
knees. worn by young women in
VANITY FAIR and dimp'ed knees
and about six inches OF bare limbs
displayed above them by sixteen
young women participating in a
Scottish drill caused the trouble.

Several Candidates Mentioned
for President and Secre-
tary Of Constitutional
Convention.

Lincoln, Nov. l6,-(Special,)-
Two weeks from the coming Tues
day the constitutional convention
for which delegates were elected re-
Gently. will gather in Lincoln for the
purpose OF agreeing upon a new
constitution for the state, which will
be submitted to the voters at the
next regular election.
The most interest just now ap-
pears to be directed toward the or
ganization of the convention. Al
ready several candidates have an
nouncea their Willingness to serve in
the capacity of president of the con-
vention. Among them are John
Heasty of Fairbury, member of the
state senate in 1918; w. A. Sellek
OF Lincoln, member of the 1911
senate; {. {. Flansburg of Lincoln,
+, M. Pollard of Nehawka, former
congressman from this district and
a member of the house in 1897 and
1871; a. ]. Weaver of Falls City,
and Charles L. Saunders of Omaha.
The latter MAS served in the senate
III the years 1905 1905, 1907. 1918,
1917 and 1919. He was president
protein of the senate in 1907 and
acted as governor during his term
while both Governor Sheldon and
Lieutenant Governor Hopewell were
out of the state at the same time.
For secretary of the convention
there are two candidates so far,
Clyde Barnard of Table Rock, who
was several sessions chief clerk of
the house and secretary of the sem
ate three sessions, and Will Hitch
cock, chief clerk of the house at the
last session. Because of his expert
ence and acquaintance with the
work, most of the men who have
served with him in legislative SEES
sions, appear to favor Barnard.
However, Hitchcock is said to have
the backing of some we'll known
men
There may be other candidates for
the presidency loom up before the
session convenes, as there are some
pretty strong men composing the
membership of the convention.
+ So far most of the delegates who
have come to Lincoln appear to
think that the session ought not to
last long. They think that. the old
constitution is a pretty good docu-
ment and that if it is dressed up to
meet the present conditions that it
will be about all that ought to be
done. There appears to be strong
prejudice against i'll any way maxi
ing the constitution a legislative
document and that the functions of
legislation should be left to future
legislatures.

MARCUS LIC1N1Us CRAssUs.

The Romans of the later days ate too much. The noble Roman whom we celebarte today, Marcus Licinius Crassus, who was killed at Haran in Mesopotamia on Nov. 21, B. C., 5, and who was one of the famous first Tri- umvirate, with Caesar and Pompey, thought in bushels, not in breakfast foods. To win and to hold the popu- lace he once gave an entertainment at which 10000 tables were set; and distributed corn to last each family for three months.
 The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire began in luxury. Luxury was carried to an evtent that seems like the phantasies of a dream; but it is true. To excite the jaded palate and to outdo another patrician, great Ro- mans had broiled nightgales' tongues served at their banquets---the height of brutality, it would seem. Another tempting dish was peacocks' gizzards. After gorging themselves, many gen. tlemen actually would retire from the banquet and tickle the palate till vomiting ensued, when---the system
 being purged---they could return to
 table and begin again at the feast
 The remote countries of the world were ransacked to supply the delicacy of the Roman appetite.
 Marcus Licinius Crassus, born in 10f B. C.. had assisted Sulla in S2 B. c. in overthrowing the Marian party, and
 was rewarded by him with grants ot land which gave to Crassus the title or surname of Dives (the rich '') He would have been deemed by Aaron | as a worshipper of the Golden Calf, il he had lived some thousands of years before. His scent for wealth was ex- | traOrdinary. The man trafflcked 1T i slaves, loaned money upon usury worked mines and built houses. IT | B. c. 10 he was Consul with the grea1 Pompey; in 65 B. c. became censor 1 Tn 60 B. c. the famous First Trium- l virate was form med---Caesar, Pompey Crassus. He owed this position to his l enormous wealth. PHny said that his country estates alone were wortf 1 2, ,OOO, eco pounds.
 He obtained the province of Syria | the Syria that again today is the bone | of scontention among rich nations shall France govern it, or England | or shall it be under the sway of tn
 new King of the Hedjaz. Crassus wa:
 ambitious to be known as a grea warrior and conqueror, and he en tered upon a war with the Parthian
 who led him on into the deserfs o
 northern Mesopotannia where hi l forces were defeated. Two days afte :, the defeat Crassus and his officer
 were treacherously slain.

ACTORS LIFE STRENUOUS
 ONE AT BEST

The life of a popular actor is as strenuous as that of an active politi- elan. Paul Gordon, one of the most popular actors Broadway has ever known, is coming back next week in a new play which will have its pre- ntere in Buffalo, and then come into New York for Metropolitan approval MT. Gordon has been giving many hours a day for rehearsals, and has missed his outdoor exercise to which he became accustomed while serving in the A. B. F.
 After a recent rehearsal he went out to & golf club for a round He was decidedly off his game, and the caddy who accompanied him looked on with a patronizing air. Finally the actor could stand it no longer, so he ventured to apologize to the caddy.
 'I have not held a club for a long time," he explained, "and I am afraid I am rusty"
 The small boy looked upon him with disdain. After the statement had been repeated he consented to an- swer
 "oh," he replied, then you have played the game before?" And with that the incident vas closed

SOMETHING OF MUSICAL INTEREST

Critics, erudite and learned critics, differ on many essential points in music. At a gathering of singers re- gently this questf 5n was being dis cussed. It was appointed out that a singer appeared the evening before, and the following gay the musical critics divided on the quality of her voice. She was recorded as a drama tic soprano, lyric soprano and meg 70 soprano. This is not fnfrequent, and suggested to Helene Flanders, herself singer of note and a re- markedly interesting musical artiste in general, an amusing illustrative story.
 They remind me of the little girl who was questioning an elderly gen. tleman in a railroad car," she smil- ed. "He had inquired her age, name and family ant edents and finally it was her turn. She asked him the names of his little girls and was told that he didn't have any. Then she wanted to know the names ot his little boys and he again replied negatively. This surprised the tot
 nightly, and in bewi1derment sh, looked up at him.
 What are yours?' she inquired.

A GOOD STORY CONCERT
 SINGER TELLS

Madame Ruano Bogislav, the not ed concert singer, has a fund of good stories, and she is as liberal with them as she is with her wonderful songs which she sings in New York and the fashionable centers where art and society gather together
 One of Madame Bogislav's favor ties concerns the recent arrival in New York of negress rom one of the ''black country districts of South Carolina. So remote from civ ilization are some of these sections that this old negress had lived all through the war without even know ing there had been one. Hence when she came to New York and saw the soldiers parading Fifth avenue she was at once interested.
 Who am dey?" she inquired of her daughter, who was in service in New York. The daughter explained that they were tour boys.'' ''Whar dey done been?" she fur ther inquired. She was informed that 1 they had been fighting.
 Pears to me-" the old man con- c1uded, pears to me laik dey is mighty big boys to be fightin" How come?"
