ready to consider crusade against
the wearing of silk stockings. the premise
being that this sheer and expensive style of
hosiery represents social sartorial and in
tellectual distinction particularly in the pub
lie schools?
Cleveland mother is the organizer of
such campaign in her own city. In a re-
cent burst of indignation at the snobbishness
of the silk stocking set of pupils i'm Cleve-
lands public schools, this leader. who is Mrs.
Harrison w. Ewing, voiced a protest to u
gathering of school superintendent, educa-
tors, members of women's clubs and others.
She declared that she had taken her own
daughter out of public school and sent her
to another educational institution where cot
ton stockings were not deemed badge of
poverty or mental or social inferiority

Few Wearing Silk Stockings
at Washington Irving School

But for the sake of ocular proof a visit
to one of the representative schools followed
these interviews. The Washington Irving
High School Is typical. There Mr. Zabriskie
the principal, and his two administrative as
sistants, Mrs. Thompson and Miss War; and
various teachers. declared that Washington
Irving was composite. That 1t was demo-
cratic to the core
AS the pupils trooped through the long
corridors on their way to classes. IL seemed
that silk stockings and other evidences of
extravaganza in school habilments were in
the minority. About one girl In every fifty
had on silk stockings, and the MILDLY blouse
or simple sweater predomnated.
mo class feeling exists here" said Mrs
Thompson, who was supported In this state
ment by Mr.. Zabrislxie and Miss War; 1.-THE
school is thoroughly cosmopolitan. We have
pupils that come from the upper West Side
and the upper East Side well as from the
lower districts of Manhattan. We have rich
girls and poor girls. We, have two schools,
an academic and technical school, under
one roof There is sometimes a feeling of
superiority among the academic girls where
they are separated from the technical girls:
but having them together. this feeling has
no chance to survive"
High school girls under their supervision
decide their own sartorial questions. Last
Year the school adopted resolutions disap-
proving gum chewing. the use Of rouge and
the excessive use of powder.
These class officers who represent the stu
dent body were holding one of their monthly
meetings during the investigation visit. Each
class is represented In this gathering by n

of these officers have voiced their opinions as
representatives OF their groups the majority
vote is then considered the vote OF the entire
school,
The question before the house that day
was resolution disappearing the wearing
OF transparent shirtwaists and of sweaters
instead of waists, and that the representa-
tives urge all Washington Irving girls to
practise simplicity and good taste In dress.

Extreme Frankness of
Women's Attire Re-
calls Other Periods
in Which Sensa-
tional. Styles Were
SeQuels to Wars
BY JOHN WALKER HARRINGTON.

NRIM visaged Mars capers nimbly be-
7 fore the fair, who are in scanty raj
ment clad. Every great world up
heaval, such as the cataclysm of Europe and
the drive of the Bolshevki, means that there
is a more frank revealing of the feminine
form, more extreme fashions. gauzier draper
les and more engaging wies.
Indecent Immodest! DIR. Charles w.
Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard Uni
versity, In a recent address inveighed against
the indecorum of the attire of women in
these days of 1920. Teachers moralists and
reformers have taken up the cry-the same
old denunciation which has gone ringing
down the ages ever since there were wars
and rumors of wars.
AS well seek to pen Niagara at the brink
and to loose the bands of Orion as prevent
womankind from following its natural bent
and taking a reef in it's draperies or dis
carding them almost entirely when wars
are done.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-12-12

and that of his successor, Mr.. Zabriskie, Sc
cret societies and everything that might tend
toward class or social distinction have been
discouraged
Mr.. McAndrew is in favor of adopting a
school uniform. THE MILDLY blouse is the
most suitable costume for school girls" he
declared. 1T permits of no feeling of SUI
periority, it is inexpensive, becoming and
modest. Many of the pupils wear it of their
own accord. I thoroughly approve of this
fashion,"
Neither Mr.. McAndrew nor Mr. Zabriskie
had noticed the silk stocking distinction.
They disapprove OF the fashion because it
represents extravaganza, instead of economy,
which is being preached in the city institu-
tons.

perfected.
A--France had movies at that time
but they were crude and were o-o-
duced by a very round about method.
In 1877 a device was perfected for
throwing animated pictures upan
screen Strips Of paper upon which
were painted pictures depicting mo-
ton were passed before limelights
upon a table and their reflection
caught in a mirror overhead and
against a screen before the audience
Another light was placed 20 throw a
still life picture on the screen as
background for the moving images.
Operations were conducted behind the
screen while the audience sat in front.
These pictures were little more than
crude animated drawings, similar q
the present day animated comics.

. skidded at the edge of a prccipice in
the Cumberland mountains at dusk yes

The car IL a wreck and in u Gum.

Neidenthal. James Mulgrew and Harry
Heanley are resting at Cumberland
hotel. They will come home tonight
by train.
Cartain of Detectives Souder heard
of the accident this morning, The de-
tectives who were bringing the machine
home reported that the first part OF
their mission had been successful. by
Inquiries along the way they had con-
frmed the fact that there were three
men and a girl in the machine when
Il made it's wild dash through the noun
tsins after the Pcirce murder.
BY q remarkable coincidence 1t was
the very garage in Cumberland whlCh
brought in the machine when Tread,

with a faulty battery that came TO the
aid Of the detectives, sending car to

The three detectives left Wheeling at
IL O'Clock yesterday morning.
: Neidenthal,. who Is an expert
driver, was at the wheel. The trst
stop made by the detectives. was at
Washington. Pa, where Trcadway had
said the party stopped. The garage ana
hotel there confirmed the story of big
car, identified as that which the detec-
tives were driving, and occupied by four
persons one a woman.
Washington Is thirty SIX miles from
Wheeling. The next stop the detec-
tives planned to make was at Cum6er' :
land, Md, 100 miles farther on. They
were in the Cumberland mountains with
the roads and the weather getting worse
every mile.
They drove on. feeling their way
! carefully. They had gone forty miles
