SAYS UNDERWORLD
DICTATES FASHION
Or. Jeannette Throckmorton Of the
Iowa State Board Of Health Has
Severe Indictment Of Wom-
ems Clothes.
MORALS AND GEORGETTE
She Has Some caustic Comment to
Make on Diaphanous Material
Of Which Gowns are
MAZDA.

The susceptible masculine morals
are in the limelight again.
Dr.. jeanette Throckmorton, recent
! ly made vice president of the world
association of public health, points
out the association between morals
and dress, in the lecture she gave
before the Royal Institute of Public
Health in Brussels this summer.
Listen:
Morals and dress are intimately
Associated and never before has
Imodesty in dress seemed to be so
little in demand among our young
girls" her lecture says.
1.-THE customary street dress OF
last summer was an offense to ones
finer sensibilities, with its abbrevi-
!ated, narrow skirt, shoes designed
to attract the eye, hose likewise. thin
nest of crepe waists with only little
ribbon and lace underneath, and cut
SO low in the neck as to be really
offensive"
Take this with little orange juice
girls.
She goes on to say:
Put Something Besides Lace.
@Diaphanous materials are the
poetry Of dress. Tulle and chiffon
are beautiful, but they should be
displayed over substantial lining
of silk. The human epidermis has
other function, besides serving for
the lining of ones waist"
DR.. Throckmorton points out that
society folks and women of the stage
alone do not faunt thin clothing, but
that girls in downtown Offices COM
nit offense against good taste by
wearing too-sheer waists to work.
"The neck and a reasonable por-
ton of the shoulders, and arms may
be disclosed without loss of morals,
she says. bare arms, shoulders and
neck give the impression OF naked
ness no matter how much the rest
of the body may be swathed.
"Too short skirts may be an ohense
to good taste. Let US not make them
any scantier or shorter than they are
now. The skirt should be wide enough
for an ordinary stride, and long
enough to reach the boot-top.
Underworld Styles
'"The indecent fashions come from
the underworld. Many blame the
American girl for DOMINIC the uni
form or ner S1SLeT OF tHe uuueTnpIlu,
but we must also blame the mother
for criminal negligence in permitting
her daughter to do so-or, sadder
still, for dressing herself in these
styles" ....
Here's something for Iowa girls to
think OF:
"The majority Of girls who come
into my office in winter are half-clad
from choice rather than NECESSITY.
This condition prevails among college
girls in my state as I personally
know. It seems that women's dress |
takes no note Of season, time OF day,
or climate" Those are extracts from
DR.. Throckmorton's lecture.
She also urges the wearing of SEN
sfble shoes, and shows the Ill effects |
Of extreme, high-heeled, poorly-ftting |
footwear. A preachment against the
wearing of deforming corsets, also is
contained in her lecture.
Dr. Throckmorton has returned to !
her duties with the Iowa state board
If health.

ACKNOWLEDGES
COX AS LEADER
1t is Said President Wilson Will Issue
Such Statement as Soon as Can
didate is Mott
fled.
[By Herbert w. Walker, United Press
Staff Correspondent

IBy Herbert w. walker, united TreSS
Staff Correspondent
DAYTON, Ohio, July 29.-President
Wilson shortly after the notification
of Governor Cox on August will issue
a statement acknowledging the noml-
nee as the new party leader was indi-
Gated in the Cox camp today. lndlca-
lions were this move win be discuss
ed today by George White, new chair
man of the democratic national COM
mittee with prominent democrats in
Washington. White was prepared TO
give the nominees exact views.
From reliable sources it was learned
White and other close advisers OF Cox
are anxious for the president to hand
lover publicly the party reins.
Back of the move was the apparent
ibelief republican leaders have initial
led a propaganda campaign, the main
theme being that the president as q
result Of the white house conference
with Cox intends to dictate the nomi-
lnee's policies. The recent meeting OF
the democratic national committee In
Columbus expressed some dissatisfac-
Ition with the white house conference,
Lit was known.
Unusual interest in Cox's speech of
acceptance was shown by hundreds OF
kilograms and letters giving sugges-
lions, which he has received.
Although virtually all the speech
will be completed by Saturday and
mailed to papers all over the country,
Cox said that one of the most import
ant sections will not be revealed until
the morning Of notification day. He
declined to indicate the subject OF the
delayed section.
In response to a second telegram
from Farley P. Christensen, head OF
the farmer-labor party, asking that ne
ioin in a movement to secure the re-
lease from prison of Eugene V. DeDs,
socialist candidate for president, COX
said he would reply after his notif1ca-
ton speech. It is generally believed
the governor will decline the request.
New Party Leader.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Governor
James M. Cox, as democratic presl-
Dental nominee must be considered
the new leader of his party, George
White said here today.
The new chairman of the democra-
tic national committee, also said he
had made no arrangements for a con-
ference with President Wilson during
his two day stay in Washington, de-
claring he had come here to take
charge OF party headquarters anu
meet democratic leaders.
II will of course, call at the white
house and pay my respects, White
said. He added he would see the
president If invited to do so.
Whites statement concerning party
leadership was made in answer 10
questions about republican charges
that Cox allowed President Wilson
to dictate his policy on the league
of nations.
.eThe governor will make clear his
position on that question in his
speech of acceptance" White said.
White also discussed general cam
paign plans, financial plans, expendl-
lures and a talk he had yesterday
with Vim. G.. McAdoo.
"Mr. McAdoo placed his services
at our disposal" White said, ana
added that McAdoo would make
speeches during the campaign.

DuflnB tne past yeuli QUA pdlIoha
have been added to the lists of the
library As a reaction from war con-
ditions, the librarian makes comment
that calls for fiction have increased.
Another post-bellum influence is
found in the noticeable demand by
returned soldiers, for works on indus
trial art and social and labor prob
lens. This demand is Unprecedented
and has taxed the resources Of the
library.

Burglars Enter
Store As Mayor
Stands In Front

snverton. Or. Jan. l6.-Early sun
day evening and almost in the very
presence of Mayor Adams burglars
entered J. F. Fishwood's harness shop
BY prying open rear window Mr.
Fishwood said the next morning that
he had missed nothing and it is be-
lieyed that the mayors presence in
front of the building while the men
were in the shop frightened them
away.
Mr.. Adams, as he was passing on
First street. noticed that the front door
was open slightly. which is an uncom-
mon thing on Sunday night. He no
titled the police of what he had OBJ
served. but before the officer arrived
on the scene the burglars had made
their escape.
A shoe shop adjoining the harness
shop was also broken into the same
night. but nothing was taken. It is
that the trick was turned by
young men of the city.
