'Womam's Dress of the Day
What about women's dress?

Shall the law step in and lay down rules in
field that properly belongs to modesty alone?
Women themselves are raising these ques-
tons, and women are answering them. Some OF
them. notably the Lincoln (Neb) Women.s
club, have appealed to the legislature of their
state to enact laws that shall oblige women to
do under penalty what their sense of proprie-
ty should lead them to do of their own motion.
The Lincoln women declare that many of their
sisters-girls and matrons-are going to an in
decent extreme in the low cut of their bodces,
fore and aft, in the brevity of their skirts, in
transparency of fabric, in disclosure of body
contour and in the broad expanses of bare cpl
dermis.
Note these words from the lips of Mrs.
James Griswold Wentz, president of the Wo-
spoken by her to the Federation of Women's
Clubs:
'We are welcoming the soldiers who have
returned from the rain of shot and she'll. Shall
we face them with greater danger here? Every
woman who leaves her home in half-nude state
to attend dance or dinner represents such
danger"
Mrs. VENTS question is more pertinent
than impairment. Her choice of the adjective
half nude is not fundamentally rreproach-
able, but from the standpoint of her purpose
it is we'll within the bounds Bodces that pro-
vide no covering in the back from the umteenth
vertebra up and only part covering in front
from the continuation lines of the til number
deeted by censor) rib open to question as
well as to pattern.
"There should be no doubt in the mind of
any person of clean life and high ideals" added
Mrs. Wentz, as to what constitutes ndecency
lin dress"
That seems to be the meat of the truth, and
At also seems to be up to the individual woman,
rather. than to lawmakers, to decide where the
shne should run between .propriety and i'm
propriety. Minneapolis Tribune

Ethical Aspect of sex War;"

The prophesied battle of the sexes" has
commenced in earnest, apparently possession
OF jobs IS conductors on tramcars being the
bone of contention. DR.. Anna Shaw, ardent
champion of woman's cause, lays down the
broad principle that wherever woman may COM
pete with man on equal terms she should be
permitted to do so. As an abstraction this may
pass muster Even in practice, it has had ample
exemplihcation; indeed, among many savage
and some civilized peoples, woman has been not
only permitted, but actually required to assume
the heavy work, her lord and master enjoying
the privileges that come with the possession OF
some arts in which woman can not compete
with him on equal terms.
A deeper significance, and one that may
have its effect on the future of the race, resides
in the proposal made by DR.. Shaw. While with
out loss of dignity nor in excess of chivary man
comedies equality to woman in all things where
she aspires to that distinction, and superiority
in those she yet clings to a. her own, always
there fingers the question as to just where the
separate stations should be divided.
In the case at bar the ethical side has been
obscured for the moment in its sentimental
aspect. Here women are asked to relinquish
to men places assumed while the latter were
called to military or other more ardent duties.
Similar conditions have come to pass elsewhere.
Conceding to woman her right to economic in
dependence, it may we'll be questioned whether
she is justified in achieving it through such
methods. Woman has penetrated industry by
many channels, and ever man has been found
demanding and insisting that she be accorded
the same treatment her brother receives as re-
CARDS wages and other elements of employment.
Justice is the support of this policy and as such
it is the practice rather than the rarity in
America.
But Dr. Shaw's contention in the present in
stance apparently constitutes violation of the
ethical rule of competition. Possession may be
nine points in the law, but the deciding one is
how was that possession established. Men and
women will continue to compete for jobs, for
the new conditions make nothing else possible,
but it should be on basis that will not build
between them barrier. Their relations ought
to rest on finer law than that of the talon

How the War Nav Be Ended.

Senator Lenroot has pointed out one way by
which Americas participation in the war may
be brought to close without waiting for the
presidents proclamation. 1t is that congress
pass a resolution, declaring that state OF war no
longer exists. The president cannot start war,
but must wait for action by congress; conversely,
congress can end war without waiting for the
president. This is suggested in connection with
the mooted point as to whether the United
States would remain at war with Germany after
other nations had signed the peace treaty, in
event of delay by the senate in the ratification
of the convention carrying with it the League
of Nations. From Paris it was proposed that
a modus vivendi be drafted to 60 along with
the treaty, to bridge over any interim following
the cessation of war by other countries and the
time that this country might take action.
Shrewd observers see in the situation thus de-
veloped move by the president to force the
senate into accepting his views. This effort at
coercion is so very obvious that one less de-
voted to having his own way on every point
than Mr.. Wilson might not resort to it. The
answer to it will probably follow the line sug-
gested by Senator Lenroot. That would super
sede any plan devised in Paris for bridging over
the interval will leave the case between the
senate and the president to be decided later.
