TIGHT SKIRT HOP
LATEST AT SHORE

ATLANTIC CITY, March si-Extra-
ordinarily tight skirts have evolved
toelng-ln stride. a kind OF "hippety-
duck hop" the welrdest kind OF walk
imaginable on the boardwalk. Lack
OF space for side-action locomotion in
some OF the excessively narrow gar
mecss. which are scarcely more than
two feet in circumference. 20 all ap-
pearances forces the welrers to place
one foot In front OF the other as they
walk with a singular swing which
throws the toe beyond the center line
Of gravity and makes the preservation
OF equilibrium a matter OF no little
difficulty.
Sections OF the Boardwalk which
have been treated with the new her
ringbone decking are favorlte stamp
ing rund for th ught-skirted legions.
They have learned TO avoid other Sec
tions surfaced with straight-across
plank.ng because OF the danger OF
catching their toes or heels in the
wider intcrstices. with embarrassing
consequences. Chairman have found
that women who wear the tightest
skirts walk out from their hotels
and ride back The hobble accordingly
has been a distinct gain 10 the chair

JoNEs REcovERs VERDICT.

In the suit OF Holmes Jones against
Richard Hopkins to recover S27i.40 for
granite screenings, a jury in Superior
Court this morning. awarded the plain
tin sal 90. This was the smallest
amount that could be awarded.
Jones claimed that he sold Hopkins,
who was engaged in some road work
here, a number OF tons Of screenings,
and that the defendant paid all but
s27i.4O for the material. He asked also
s5.42 interest.
Hopkins contended that he purchased
the screenings Z ON the J. A. Bader
Company, which had sold to Jones the
quarry with the provision that 1000
tons OF screenings be reserved for him.
10 was from this reserve supply OF the
Bader Company that the screenings for
which Hopkins failed 70 pay was taken,
IL was held.
The court charged the jury that 10
must award at least s4i.33 TO the plain
tiff and in addition any other amount
that It should decide rightly belonged
TO him.
Considerable litigation has resulted In
the courts concerning the ownership
OF the screenings sold Hopkins. Jones
was once before court on several
charges Of larceny OF the material. but
was dismissed.

CHESTER, March 2i.-Like some mod
ern Cornella OF the Gracchi, proud
mother Chester spread her jewels be
fore 5000 persons yesterday at the Edg-
mont Theatre. these treasures her ma
tive and foster sons and daughters who
ranged from the governor Of the COM
monwealih TO wee Giacomo. llewellyn.
Pleiro. Pierre and Stanislaus, many Of
whom came in maternal arms. The Oc-
caslon was the beautiful. impressive
and virile pageant OF "Chester's League
Of Nations" a pioneer effort In Amer
icanizatiOn by community service that
blended a patriotic note for the i'm
migrant with all the picturesque
touches OF raiment, music and folk lore
OF these pilgrims from the Old World
Governor Sproul, however, played
more than a passive part as one OF the
treasure trove OF Madame Chester. TO
him. as the foremost citizen OF Penn
syivanla. fell the opportunity to well
come his foster brothers and sisters
TO a larger part in the affairs OF the
nation, state and city.
So the occasion furnished glory
enough for everybody, but no small
share went 20 the Misses Elizabeth
and Ruth Burchenal. Theirs was the
conception Of this novel occasion, the
fist OF its kind in The country.
The Playhouse was not large enough
10 seat those who iourneyed TO the
place.
At the outset, 70 the strains Of the
national anthem. soldiers and sailors
who had fought over there came
marching into the theatre, an escort
TO the colors. Captain William II.
Helllwell commanded this detachment
OF color-bearers, bearing the standards
OF the nation and the city Of Chester.
While the cheering was intense, no
greater curiosity was aroused than at
the sight OF Robert +. Nixon, OF 1i9
Caldwell street, Chester, who wore
three wound stripes on one arm and an
equal number OF service stripes on the
other. Those in the left arm showed
e 'ghteen months overseas in the thick
with Company X, Of the Ninth Infan-
try Of the gallant Second Division. The
badges on the right arm were the trib-
utes that showed he had been wounded
at Chateau Thierry, Nerdun, st. Mihiel
and Thiancouri.
As the emblems were placed in their
nanklng position on the stage the en-
tire audience sang America to be
followed by Mayor Mcdowell, who In
troduced Governor Sproul as the fore
most citizen OF the Commonwealth"
Governor Sproul was vociferously re-
ceived. and his speech was translated
into italian. Polish, Greek and Russian
10 the audience by Emil BiaccO, C. +.
