Bare Ankles and Arms
Paris New Year Decree
To Save Cloth, Sleeves Will Be
Eliminated and Skirts
Shortened

Little hope for anything but scant
attire for women in 1920 was enter
tanned by Jules Kurzman, a milliner and
modiste, who returned yesterday from
Paris on the Holland-America liner
Nieuw Amsterdam.
The prevailing fashion for the spring
and summer and perhaps for the fall
and winter would demand sleeveless
gowns, he said. In their desire to
cconomze in the use OF cloth Eu-
ropean fashion makers have decreed
that women shall wear unusually short
skirts--skirts cut about midway be-
tween the ankle and the lnee-and if
necessary stockings and boots will be
abolished entirely The bare leg and
sandals will be in perfect keeping, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kurzman, with the short
skirt and the sleeveless frocks.
Mr. Kurzman said the people of
Europe are spending money fast and
furiously, as they have the impression
that excessive taxation will take their
cash anyhow. There is shortage of
cloth and great demand for fabrics
of all sorts. So marked is this short
age that the women of France are
paying as much for cotton cloth now
as they paid for silk before the war.

City Urged to Operate

Commissioner Grover A. Whalen, of

Solved with Consummate Skill

washington Post. lndt
The Republicans of the United
States have met and solved with
consummate skill the two problems
of defining their battle plans and
choosing their leader. They have
mixed courage with discretion in
shaping their platform. and have
nominated candidate who has more
points of availability and fewer
handicaps than any other man con-
sidered for the nomination. The
natural law of the survival of the
fittest operates with memorable force
in a great national convention, where
all factors are in open competition
individuals do not know all the fac
tors involved. but the whole conven-
ton knows them all. and the inter
play Of these factors lops off the
weak and thrusts forward the strong.
Warren G. Harding is an American
of the finest type. He owes his NOM
ination to nobody except the dele
gates representing the Republican
party. If they had not found him to
be the most suitable candidate he
would not have been nominated, for
the delegates voted as they pleased
or as instructed by the voters. They
sought a winner. and when they had
sifted out the points of availability
of each candidate they selected
Harding.

Where Does Il Come In?

THE American college is today in
Tested by superfiuous and conflicting
organizations College men and wo-
men are too much exploited by walk
ing delegates who organize endlessly
because they are paid to do IL. The
socialist wants an inter- collegiate So
cialist organization with chapters
everywhere. The temperance work
er wants all to join the prohibition
clubs. The oratorical league would
plant its local unit in each college.
The single taxer would organize one
group and the woman's suffragist
would organize another. Meanwhile
where does education come in?
This pertinent question is asked by
President Faunce in his baccalaure-
ate sermon at Brown University. He
concluded we must turn from mocha
nism to spontaneous action without
which there can be no true life. But
amid all the confusion which he
points out where is one to find in
spiration to the spontaneous, and
avoid being a composite reflection of
conflicting propaganda? In other
words where does education come
in and being added" leave off?

A Job for the vies President

The nomination Of Calvin Coolidge
has given remarkably increased i'm
petus to the change Of opinion re-
garding the vice presidency which
has been noticeable for some time.
According to the Constitution the
wee presidency is an Office of great
potentiaiity in case Of the disability
Of the chief executive; otherwise as
far as actual and specific duties are
mentioned it is Of comparative insig-
nificance. Men might be able to pre-
side over the Senate who could not
be President.
In accordance with the liberal in
depreciation Of the Constitution
which has become necessary to keep
pace with the growth of the nation.
the vice presidency can be made an
ONCE Of great importance and use
fulness in itself. The physical i'm
possibility Of a one man government
TO attend to the multitudinous inter-
ests of the country has been fully
demonstrated. II is not good nor
right fol-. the man or the country.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
Calvin Coolidge will not be a vice
president Of the traditional type He
is not the kind Of man who could be,
and If we can form any opinion Of the
sentiment Of the nation toward him,
he viii not be allowed, even if he
would, to sink into luxurious oblivion.
The suggestion Of an Ohio judge
that the vice president be henceforth
made general manager Of the United
States was commented npon in these
columns some time ago. Comment
ing on a similar suggestion made by
Senator Edge of New Jersey. the
New Orleans Times Picayune says:
Serving in the capacity suggested
by Senator Edge. We fear that the
vice presidents lot would not be q
happy one. Exchange Of his present
ease and leisure for the carking cares
Of q difficult and perhaps thankless
Job as assistant business manager
might intensity the present shortage
Of vice-presidential aspirants.
This evidently was written before
the Chicago convention adjourned.
Governor Coolidge has never been
known to side-step things because
they were hard or disagreeable. He
does not go about looking for trouble
but whatever is pat up to him he ia
ces fairly and squarely and with un-
commonly good common sense.

Harding and Coolidge make a
clean. unmistakable, acceptable Re-

the country a Republican ad-
