Says High Skirts and Open-work Hose
Bad for Boys Eyes; Worse for Health
Of Districts Pretty, Giggling. Maids

Down with skirtsi At least three
inches further down.
As for open-work stockings-
away with them!
Peril Turks in these eye-pulling
articles ofsfeminine apparel. says
DR.. William C. Fowler. District
health ofiicer. and the peril is never
more present than at this season OF
the year.
DR.. Fowler wonders lately why
the sick rate Is not higher than It Is
among young wemen of the city.
-The surface of the body must be
kept warm in the winter" he said
yesterday. .The body cannot be
kept warm by keeping up activity
with the fashions in women's wear
ing apparel. From what everybody
sees on the streets now. some
women might as well not wear any
thing for all the warmth their cloth
ing affords"
DR.. Fowler stated he did not be-
lieve that wearing openwork hose
and a-little-too-short skirts would
result in a local epidemic of colds or
hiccoughs. which is the present sit
uation in Paris. He said, however.
The Washington herald., 1920-12-21

that such clothing, exposes the
wearer to disease.
People in Washington ought to
be particularly careful" he said
When one lives.in city where the
temperature is liable to drop 30 de-
grees between morning and night
one cannot take too many precau-
tions. would advise everyone &c
wear a medium-weight suit of un-
derwear-men and women-contain-
ing at least one-half wool. for pro-
lection.
I do not expect that many women
will follow this advice.Y

RAILWAY EXPRESS
CONCERNS MERGE
-Four Companies Authorized
To Join by Interstate Com
merce Board.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday approved the merger
of the four national railway express
companies as asked of II last sum-
mer. The four companies will in
the future operate under the nama
Of The American Railway Express
Company. The amalgamatiop was
asked by the express companies on
the ground that they were prae-
tically operating as one concern and
the amalgamation would be in the
public interest
A total capital of 100000 will
be pooled by the four companies
the Adams. the Southern. the Wells
Fargo and the American. The
merger was practically unopposed.
Only four States-Florida, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi and Texas-entered
objection to the combination. The
complaint raised by attorneys for
these States was that 1t would re-
suit in a combination in restraint
of trade.
In making public its decision the
Interstate Commerce. Commission
declared it was a well-known fact
that even before the war the four
major express companies were so
interrelated in their business that
they constituted practically one sys-
tenn When the roads were taken
over by the government during the
war. the commission held, the activ-
titles of the four concerns were
practically handled as those of one
concern and the few lines of differ
ence were wiped out. The COM
panies are now a single unit, and
the commission held 1t would be to
!, the advantage OF public interest to
have them operate as such.

Missing Balloon Search
Turns to AdirOndacks

SARANAC LAKE. N. Y. Dec. CO.
Airplanes and forest rangers are
scouting the Adirondacks for three
missing balloonists who left Rock
away for Canada a week ago.
Tho forest rangers have been or
dered to climb all high mountain
peaks and scan the country with
powerful telescopes. 1t is thought
the balloon may, be resting on the
tops of trees or that the men can
be located by smoke from camp
fires. The rangers will make fires
at observation towers on the high
est peaks.
On account of the scanty rations
carried by the aviators, IT is believed
the three men have perished.
Two of the airpSanes aiding in the
search were damaged in landing at
Albany Saturday.

DENIES BLAME
IN COAL RAISE
Editor Of Journal Declares
There Is No Reason for.
Increases.
tBy Herald Leased wire.)


New York. April There is no
reason why operators should In
crease the cost of coal to consumers
because of the 81 per cent Increase
the miners are to receive, and no
excuse whatever for boosting prices
from s1.25 to $3.50 a ton because
thereof, according to Ellis Searles,
editor of the United Mine Workers
Journal, in a statement issued to-
night.
Searles stated that IA per cen. cf
the 81 per cent increase had been
awarded to the miners by DR.. Gar
field, and that DIR. Garfield said that
"the "A per cent could and should
be absorbed by the operators, and
that they could afford to pay IL out
of their profits" The operators did
not pay the increase out of their
profits. Mr.. Searle said, but passed
il on to the consumers.
Now with the grant of another
Is per cent wage increase to the
miners, the operators, according. to
Mr.. Searles, are talking of advanc-
ing soft coal $1.25 to $50 per ton,
although the entire 81 per cent
wage increase could not increase
the cost of coal production more
than from 40 to so cents a ton, and
there had already been made an ad-
vance in selling price on the
strength of the first II per cent
wage increase.
"why should the operators boost
the price S1.25 to $50 a ton. even
IL thet pass all of the increase on
to the public?" demanded Mr..
Searles. He added:
"If the operators made an unrea
sonable or unnecessary increase in
the price of coal, the miners want
the public to know they are not
responsible for It,"

Cotton Famine Threatens,
Declares Senator Smith

The country faces cotton famine,
Senator Smith, of South Carolina
told the Senate yesterday in COM
menting on a report of the Director
of Census in response to a Senate
inquiry concerning the amount OF
unspinnable cotton now held in the
country.
The Census Bureaus figures show
ed, Smith said, that there are more
than 1,00O,0O0 bales of unspinnable
cotton in stock. In addition the
report said there must be much
more, but as cotton is held in 5000
separate places 1t will take some
time to ascertain the exact guam
tity.
Smith said cotton exchanges are
sending out misleading figures, in
cluding unspinnable cotton in the
available supply.
