New York City.-There is much
discussion these days. especially by
those who have been to Paris and
seen the new fashions. as to likeli-
hood of the American woman adopt
ing the fashions as worn just now
in Paris. There are three Of these
fashion points that are the cause of
the discussions. One is the very
short skirt. another the sleeve that
is above the elbow, and the ex-
tremely low neck-line on the street
dresses is the other. My opinion is
that it won't be long before we see
all three adopted on this side of the
water, possibly modified. of course.

2. SEX
Danger!
With the sex appeal you can catch
almost any kind of a man, good, bad
or Indifferent.
AS the candle flame attracts moths
so the women of, the sex appeal at
tract men. But the wise moths and
the wise men hutter away to a safer
harbor.
1t is the easiest way to get them.
but it is the hardest way to hold
them
Even II you marry them. there 10
danger ahead.
A marriage not based on mutual
respect cannot be happy
The sex appeal does not last.
The girl who tries to catch a man
this way is very foolish. Men are
attracted geperally only for little
while and seldom to the point Of mar
riage.
Then she has to catch another and
another until her charms are faded
and gone.
In the whirlwind of passion, hate
and love are closely linked, and fire.
Quently exchange places.
II girl be unskilled in the art of
sex attraction she becomes vulgar in
the attempt II skillfuI the Intelligent
man Is apt to think, ''Who taught her
all this" His respect for her is dead.
This way is the best way to get
candy and flowers, maybe jewels, but
the worst way to try to hold a man.

Monday. There may be, he said, a
few more than one hundred names in the

tion Of whether he is an independent or
one formerly active In organization pol
itics will not figure. Decision will be
based solely on his qualifications to
hold the Office
The Town Meeting headquarters has
jut put out a pamphlet covering regis
tration matters, embodying a clarifica
tion of one important phase of the
Daix Brady law, qualifying challenges.
ANY person who is registered and
also enrolled as a member of political
party" It reads, 'may vote the ballot
of such party at the primaries without
being subject to any challenge regarding
his party membership"
This is calculated to do away with
any possible repetition of such incidents
as were frequent at the primaries in
1917, when opinions conflictcd as to a
mans right to vote the Town Meeting

STATE RECONSTRUCTS
HUMAN DERELICTS.
New Bureau Has Been Created
for the Rehabilitation OF
Industrial Cripples

The State Bureau Of Rehabilitation,
an outgrowth of experience of the state
government in administration of the
workmen's compensation law, has been
created in the Department of Labor and
Industry by Governor Sprouts approval
of a bill passed in the closing days or
the Legislature.
This bureau, which will be admins
tered by a chief to be named by the
commissioner of labor and industry, is
to care for persons physically handi-
capped by reason of Industrial acci-
dent.
Provision is made through an appro-
priation of 100000 for a survey of
such persons in the state and for es-
tablishment of relations with hospitals
to give special treatment to injured per =
sons in accord with the nature of their
hurts as well as special education to
fit them for occupations which they
may be qualified to fill after recovering
from injury.
The state may also supply artificial
limbs or such appliances as are needed
to enable them to earn a living.
The terms of the bill. which were
drawn after an extended study of the
subject by state compensation board Of
ficials, provide for care of "any resi-
dent or residents of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania whose capacity to earn
a, living is in any way destroyed or
impaired through industrial accident oc-
curing in the commonwealth.
