the position taken today by Prof
Theodore Soares. Of the University Of

ginning with one suit and one coat,
ending with sixteen dollars for mis-
cellaneous articles, belts, rubbers,
neckwear, etc. The board allows
three hats a year, to cost not
more than $22.50 for the three.
The business of dressing women
is a big business. According to
this estimate it would cost the
country about two thousand mil
lion dollars a year. Much money,
but it is all a part of woman's
evolution, and it would be a mis-
take to check it, even to save a
billion and half. The happiness
that a new hat gives woman is
reflected in the next generation.
In China, a woman working for
a living probably spends less
than hundred dollars for clothing
to last twenty years. But there
isn't much progress in China, her
silk worms work for our women
and China is a sad nation, because
women there have never known
the excitement of shopping and
trying on.

EXPERTS DISCUSS
MANAGES DISEASE

Every expert on mental diseases In
Washington today is making long
distance examination of the man being
hunted for nighttime attacks on
women asleep in their beds.
All OF these students of mental dis
eases say they can form no definite
opinion of the state OF mind of the
fugitive until he Is caught and can
be observed.
But every fact in connection with
the case that comes to light is fur
nishing interesting material for the
men who make a lifetime work of
learning the brain secrets OF human
beings.
The facts so far shown do not give
scientific basis for the assumption
that the desperate is a maniac, the
mental experts say. And the theory
that two men may have been in
volved is further confusing. There
Is little doubt that one man attacked
the three women sleeping in three
houses, but the proof that only ono
man is involved is only circumstan-
Lal.
