Pope Ageinst Immodest Dressing.

Pope Benedict XIV at the Vatican in
Rome, is pursuing his campaign against
the present styles Of women's dress.
which he condemns as "immodest and
un-Christlan." His Holiness instruct.
ed all Catholic women unions recently
to refuse to receive women who dress.
ed so immodestly as fashion demands
at the moment.
The Pope has caused a circular n
be sent to the rectors of all churches
chaps and oratories in which il is
expressly forbidden to allow i'm.
modestly dressed women to enter
Catholic places of worship.
The circular defines as immodest
low necks, short sleeves and immodest
skirts. The Vatican is taking I'D the
SUBJECT very seriously and has in
structed bishops to see that move
ment against immodest clothes is mr.
gained in their dioceses all through
the world.
80 unless styles change in short
tne, an organized campaign will GER
taInly exclude Enthusiastically dress.

Nature in the Nude.


The frosts, the rains and the bolster
Gus blasts have stripped the trees of
their green robes of summer and they
stand naked-but unashamed.
The leafy tent which the big maple
made in your dooryard last June is
now but a tracery of twigs against the
sky. Its delicate fretwork is for the
most part as rigid and motionless as if
stamped from steel, for it no longer in.
vites the vagrant zephyrs for a romp
and even the Northern gale drives
through its skeletonized body with al
most as little resistance as a ghost
would offer.
Yet it is still beautiful. We can now
study the great limbs of which there
was no hint beneath its summer
drapery; the huge, swelling muscles
where the limb joins the trunk, the
point of greatest strain. Note, too
in the case OF the forest maple, tn,
perfect balancing OF weight, which is
the secret of the straight, columnar
bole.
Observe how the oak throws oui
great, brawny, horizontal branches
which suddenly turn and lift skyward
with an abrupt taper, in order that tn
multitudinous leaves Of the growing
season may receive their share of sun
light. The branches OF the elm, or
the other hand, shoot upward first am
then turn their tips outward and down.

end is secured.
IL you learn the trees in the spring
and summer, with leaf, flower and
fruit as your guides, you must learn
them all over again in the winter. III
is bit battling at first, for all botanical
manuals seem to assume that trees are
to be studied only when in verdure
But it's all the more fun for that.
Now the only clues in your arborea
detective work are the bark, ooth as to
texture and color; the habit of branch
ing; the twigs, by their alternate
opposite position; the leaf scars anI
the shape, size ana color of the buds
which some persons may be surprise
to learn are all finished before the
first frost.
But soon you come to recognize q
tree just as you do friend instinct

you may in time rival James Russell
Lowell, who implies in one of his
poems that the etching against
moonlit sky enabled him to name any
New England tree.
And il is true that trees look mo-
alike in summer than in winter. In
their winter nakedness nothing is con
cealed; their individuality is blazoned
to the discerning eye. The infinite
variety of Nature in accomplishing
the same end is revealed.
Trees, then, become more than trees
to US. They become living entities.
and we begin to Undue them with the
aspirations and sentiments which we
ourselves cherish. We begin to un-

"The Unpaid Debt We Owe the Soldiers

Treasury has to add some more. The

Debt" the New York Times editor
tally depicts conditions that are req,
rehensible. Service men have no:
been treated so cruelty and thought
lessly here, but isolated cases of neg
lect have been discovered by officers
of the Harry Ray post.
The editorial of the Times follows:
There has been a great deal of fine
talk about paying our debt to the
soldiers. How much performance is
to be given to these easy promises:
The people of three states are paying
the debt by blithely voting indiscrim-
mate bonuses, money that will be
quickly and unproductively spent in
many or most cases by the sound
heneficiaries' and can only be tenn
porary dole to the disabled. For them
permanent provision on a far-seelng
plan must be made. Has it been made:
What has the government done?
There are three often interlapping, col
liding, imperfect organs for the care
of the disabled-the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, the Public Health
Service, the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Training. With the best intcn-
tons the government does business in
the lame and clumsy traditional gov
eminent way.
You go before this or that board to
get examined. When you present
yourself for examination, you find that
the board has decamped. In the
course of time you are ground out OF

A concrete case illustrates the re-

says that, if the illness of a soldier

contracted in the service, the physi-
clans of the Public Health service

Notre Dame versus Indiana is the al

vance there are prospects OF NVely
skirmish. But the eyes OF the rams
will follow Gipp, whose performances
throughout the season have put MIN IN
line for all-American honors when the
experts pick their mythical teams.
The Notre Dame-Indiana game is
the headline attraction OF the games
on Hoosier gridirons tomorrow. Other
contests Of Indiana teams are as 1ol-
lows:
Northwestern and Purdue at Evans
ton Rose Poly and Butler at Terre
Haute. Indiana State Normal ana
Hanover at Hanover.
Purdue Has Chance
Purdue, having lost the two con-
ference games it has played this sea
son, has an opportunity tomorrow TO
improve it's standing. Northwestern
has not displayed great strength and
the Boiler Makers should have an
even chance of scoring victory over
the Purple. Purdue's conference de-
feats came at the hands of Chicago
and Ohio State, two strong teams.
Northwestern has been defeated by
Wisconsin, Indiana and Iowa but
scored a victory over Minnesota.
Purdue's showing against North
western will give direct line on the
relative strength Of Purdue and In
diana, the Crimson having defeated
Northwestern here 10 to Z.
Wabash College is celebrating
homecoming today with game be-
tween the Little Giants and kalama-
zoo Normal. This is the third invasion
of Indiana by the Normalites. They
defeated Earlham last Saturday but
lost to Notre Dame early in the sea-
son.

its own gridiron, will be out Of town
