STILL SHORTER
SKIRTS DECREED
Style Committee of Cloak
Manufacturers Issues
Dictum for Spring
NO REDUCTION IN
PRICES PREDICTED
Women s Skirts Cannot Come Within
Seven Inches of the Carpet - Some
Other Features Decided Upon for
Spring Styles.

CLEVELAND, Dec S-Women's
skirts will be frankly short" for the
spring season of 1920 and the prices
for the skirts will be no lower
Such is the decree, immutable as the
laws of the Modes and Persians of the
style committee of the National Cloak,
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers associa
ton in session here.
The style committee went into par
ticularities They deereed that the
hens of fashionable women 5 skirts
shall be from seven to nine inches above
the carpet, lawn or pavement, and the
hens of skirts that adorn charming
young misses shall not approach their
pink toes nearer than 10 inches There
may be some idea of economy in this
pronunciamento; every inch of skirt
saved may cut the high price trifc.
But the style committee did not say SO.
They held a show of the modes for
| the approaching season that would de-
| light any woman and drive any man
to-St Louis. 1t was demonstrated
| that in both coats and suits there is Il
tendency to a full hip effect. \ mem
Der of the style committee said this ef-
feet is obtained by ''ripples, shirriug
and pleats = He limited that the effect
can be obtained simply by hips with
out accessories He said too that al
though pocketbools may be empty be
cause of the high price Of labor and the
scarcity of fabrics, skirts will be a
trho fuller. He said nothing about the
husbands who win pay for the skirts.
There is much embroidery on the
skirts and suits on exhibition. Also
tucks, stitching, piping and eording.
If, sir. YOU do not know what those
are, ask your ywife.
A member of the style committee is
speaking from here on, and speaking
authoritatively:
-. There is spellz yslisessity of. types
| in the spring suits that It is difficult
4 to tell which will be the most popular
The tailored suit is always good, but
even this staple model has been affected
by the tendency toward youthful lines
Charming little Elton jackets viii be
worn, some with high belted skirt
which have the effect of three piece
garment. Short box jackets are good
. Although skirts will be fuller, they
viii preserve their long, straight lines
A few of the more fancy suits show
pleats in the skirts. Sleeves may fl
snugly on tailored lines. or flare out
in bell cuff at the wrist. The three
fourth length sleeve is used on Etol
jackets, Short sport coats viii be tn,
thing for spring wear, while the longer
more dressy wraps are a modification
of the redingote. that garment whiei

Symptoms Of Disease.

Symptoms of the disease, as studied
abroad, are described in a, statement
issued by the Public Health Service,
which officially names the new sick
ness "Lethargic Encephalitis.' OF 16s
cases in England thirty-scven deaths
were recorded. The stupor varies in
duration from two or three days to
two or five weeks. The temperature
of the patient ranges from 10l de-
grees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees.
In the majority of cases a, pro-
dromal period may be recognized, but
it is not very we'll defined, the synp-
toms being the early stage of those
of the developed disease. Usually the
first symptom is simple catarrhal con-
iunctivitis and in a smaller number Of

Surgeon George w Mccoy, direc-
tor Of the hygienic laboratory of the
Public Health Service, is studying the
disease. He said:
I'VE are making efforts to secure
specimens from cases. There is not
much known about the disease, any,
way. We do not know yet whether
it is infectious or not.
This is clearly very different from
the South African disease. Both have
one symptom in comm on-stupor-
but otherwise they are different.

monest localizing sign is ophthalmo-

The most common error in dag
nosis is said to be that of attributing
the condition of the sick to tubercu-
lous meningitis.
The following statement as to treat
nent is made:
Course of Treatment.
With regard to treatment no spe-
cific method has been devised, and
the best that can be done is to put
the patient to bed and provide him
with good nursing; cold sponging is
often beneficial during the pyexial
period and tends to diminish the de-
llrium. In many instances transient
or permanent relief, with diminution
of stupor followed the withdrawal Of
cerebrospinal fluid by lumbar pune
ture, especially when the fluid was
under pressure. For the pain, numb
ness and tingltng of the limbs warmth
is the best remedy and the bed
clothes should be raised on frames.
CONSTIPATION is obstinate and often
difficult to overcome, except by en-
emata, followed by such drugs as
liquid paraffin or phenolphthalein No
hypnotics and no morphine or other
preparation of opium should be given,
and DR.. MacNalty deprccates the ad-
ministration of hexami1e in large and
repeated doses; if it is prescribed, the
urine should be carefully watched for
albumen. Daily cleansing of the
m outh and antiseptic treatment Of the
! nose and mouth should be carried out
and respiratory IMPLICATIONS system
atically looked for. Finally the pa
tient should be given to understa and
that his convalescence will last for
at least six months after the begin
ming Of the Illness
