through the stage of office work, which these
girls are just now entering, can give them a
word or two of advice, which we feel Shoulc
be of some value"
As it is, conditions are SO shocking accord
ing to Miss Sibley, that one woman the head
of large banking house, recently became so
embarrassed at the diaphanous attire OF the
other feminine workers that she raised all the
windows in the office and then tactfully sug-
geSted that the girls put on their coats SO
that they would not take cold
At the recent convention OF the Natlonai
Federation of Business and Professional Women
here, where the subject of dress reform re-
ceived great deal of discussion, Mrs. Christine
R. Kefauver, supervision inspector OF the Bu-
reau of Industrial Hygiene of the New York
department of health, created mild stir by her
assertion that "many wife becomes unauiy
suspicious of her hush Ind it he has in his
employ gill who dolls up like a fashion
model" In he. opinion it was up to the mod
ance in order that the boss wife might rest
| in peace and comfort. Mrs Kefauver is not
| especially interested in the welfare OF the boss
| wives, except in so far as they interfere with
the success of business women.
| "The business woman may not realize it, but
it is not fair to herself to dress for the office
in unsuitable Clothes" she says. "The lime has
come when entering business with woman
does not mean merely the filling OF a gap
| between school and marriage. 1t means as

| She must therefore avail herself of every OPP
po,tunity to make it success. What would we
! think of man who wore dress suit t. the
office in the morning? And yet women go
into offices in gowns suitable for tea or din
ner."
If the present reform campaign were con-
| fined to the dress and manners OF office work
erS one would not attach SO much Importance
to it, but even chorus girls have become in
| fected by the desire to be seber-minded. 1t
is not unusual to find whole companies OF
chorus ladies diligently knitting while waiting
for the cues in the wings; while one 'comDany
playing here in New York has organized the
Irene Thrift club, which is an organization for
promoting the wear of sensible, muslin lin
gerie. These girls have repudiated all friv-
olous apparel of this type, and have espouSed
the coarse, practical and economical garments of
their grandmothers days.
Thus, with even the stage developing an
antipathy to frivolity, the future holds much
hope for the extinction of gladnesS. With so
many reforms under way and gathering furious
momentum, there will soon be nothing left to
| be glad about. Yes; there, would be much
hope for the weary in the future were it not
for one disquietng possibility. 2 Suppose every
body went right on being glad, anyways!

NEW YORK, Marchh 21.-The day of the
N overjoyed overdressed dear young thing,
\ full of sentiment and Illusion is drawing
to close. "GladnesS" and glad rags are going
out of fashion.
According to Miss Jane D. Rippn, national
director of the Girl Scouts, within the next ten
years women are going to abandon all creative
attempts at illusion, and live peaceful, thrifty
existence, like men. They are going to wear
plain business suits and severe hats, adjure high
influence on their exuberant gladness, eSpe-
cially while at work. Miss Rippin herself is
doing all that she can to bring this admirable
reform about.

girl that her body isn't a Christmas tree or
which to hang lot of ornaments. The young
scout becomes accustomed to the wearing OF
her own simple uniform and sees its value
Of course, she cannot wear it always, but she
is taught that the next best thing is plain
one-p piece dfess with a telt. Her scout shoes
are big and broad with low heels, and she
knows the dangers of high heels. As for cos
metics, every one of our girls comes to know
that girls who wear artificial things on their
faces have artificial things in their characters.
By taking them while they are your. this
way, and intoxicating in them wholesome re-
spect for grim and even occasionally homey
reality, it is hoped that the "too-glad" outlook
can eventually be stamped out. Miss Rippn
is aided and abetted in this useful campaign
by various WomenS clubs, including the Wall
Street club, the Irene Thrift club, an organiza-
ton of chorus girls, and A. Mitchell Palmer
whose interest is in squelching not so much
gladnesS as extravaganza.
While the campaign is invading even our
drawing rooms, with the idea of clothing them
little more fully and less fancifully, it is
particularly directed at the modern working
woman. Young women who wear diStracting
clothes to the office, and who monopolize
business telephones for protracted, mrthful
conversations with their various acquaintance
and who insist upon joyfully vampine; the boss

than they were being built. Apparently,
however, they would have been mustered

playing great tenacity and at times great

FEVER AS A CURE

sometimes a blessing in disguise Yet
~ every once in while incidents occur in
medical experience indicating this Enthusiastically.
Even fever-causing diseases of fatal posi-
bilitieS may, when mild, have beneficial rather
than baneful effects. Impressive instances in
proof have been reported in connection with
the terrible influenza epidemic.
Take, as an illustration, a singular case re-
Gently communicated bv a French physician,
DR.. Demaye. 1t concerns young man of
twenty committed to a hospital for the insane
because of an attack of mania.
This attack had followed violent quarrel
with friend. For weeks the irrational ex-
element thus caused continued When at last
it subsidized the unfortunate young fellow passed
into state of melancholic apathy with marked
enfeeblement of intelligence.
He had no idea of where he was. All day
long he would sit mutely inert, interested in
nothing Thus he continued for year, by
which time all hope of his ever regaining men

Then he fell i'll of influenza of the CASTRO

degrees. He was quickly convalenScent.
And coincidental with his convalescence the
attendants saw to their surprise that he had =

month he was discharged as sane
Compare an observation by another, ply
Sician:
"a very stupid young man, who could not
be made to comprehen, even the relation OF
an adjective to a noun, happened to become
affected with fever. A few days later he
was able to speak Latin without too much
thought, and in conversation developed ideas

Gases like these arr, of course, difficult OF
explanation. Probably the theory nearest the
truth is that offered by Arnold Lorand:
"What characterizeS fever is an elevation
of the blood circulation, an augmentation and
acceeraton. High temperature and a quickened
pulse are its most important distinguishing
features.
"a greater flushing of the tissues with blood

TURNING SHIPS INTO HOMES


That bombastic announcement by an emil
obscurity, about bridging the Atlantic ocean
with wooden ships as preliminary to win
ming the war against Germany, typif1es the
sort of wildly imaginative theoPizing which
characterized much of the reckless expendi-
lures for ships airplanes and the business of
war preparation generally. AS we now know,
billions of dollars were ~wasted4in such fool
schemes as the proposal to build thousands
and thousands of cheap wooden ships. The
idea was to scatter the contracts for these
ships promiscuously along the Atlantic and
gulf coasts, along the 2,O00-mile stretch of
the Pacific, and to give orders for ships at
every lakeside town that wanted piece Of
the huge three-billion- emergency fleet
enterprise. Several hundreds of these wooden
ships were actually built and some of them
are seaworthy, but Others as it seems, are
just junk on the shipping boards hands
Philadelphia is discussing plan to utilize
about thirty of these discarded ships as hotels
for workers, or to remodel them as depart
mental houses for families. Baltimore is in
urgent need of homing facilities, and no city
has better water frontage for anchoring
useless ships in deep mud and making houses
of them. Roofing the upper deck would be
simple cutting windows and doors In the
first second and third deck levels would also
be comparatively easy. There are eleven dis
mantIed wooden ships now in the Patapsco,
but by putting in an early claim Baltimore
may possibly obtain half-hundred more.
There would be some poetic charm about SUCH
a home, and Baltimore needs quick supply
of homes.-BALTIMOREA AMERICAN (Rep).
