OVERALLS, CALICO,
MAY BE UNIVERSAL
DRESS IN THE CITY

Every Richmond man may get to
work some of these days clad in nifty
overalls and jumpers instead of the
usual 500 suit.
And feminine clerks and stenog-
raphers may wear calico and ging-
ham instead of georgette and serge.
Hundreds OF persons here are inter
ested in the progress of the overall
campaign reported from dozens OF
other cities in which persons are at
tempting forcibly to Jimmy" down
the high cost of clothes by wearing
overalls and calico.
There is much sympathy expressed
here with the movement, and there
are dark hints that all persons here
need is a leader-organizer and the
movement would spread like wild-fire.
May be Talked by Moose
The order of Moose. mentioned in
dispatches as prime mover in the
organization in other cities, has as yet
taken no action here. but Howard
Brooks says it may come up Monday
evening.
Other fraternal organizations
throughout the country are consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting the
blue jeans" and in many cities over
all clubs" have been formed. Appli-
cants are said to be swarming the
club headquarters daily to enlist in
the newly formed organizations.
Dress economy is being urged
throughout the state by school Of
ficials and graduates will be asked TO
have the utmost simplicity in COM
mencement arrangements.
Economy at Commencement
Parents are asked to use economy
in the purchase of new gowns for the
various pre-commencement events,
and school authorities deem it neces-
sary only that one gown, that for the
commencement event, be purchased.
The masculine representation at the
State Normal School at Terre Haute
has voted to adopt a regulation dress
of overalls, and threaten to 60 bare
footed in an effort to cast a blow at
/ the present price of clothing and
shoes.

BERLIN, April 17-Financial and

within year if the people do not
realize the situation of the country
and reform their methods of living,
said DR.. Wirth, minister of the treas
ury addressing the budget committee
Of the ma tional assembly today.
III we cannot bring our financial

ciples," he exclaimed Il confess l see
no way out. Another increase in
wages will soon be demanded. parti-
cularly by workers on the state rail
roads, and | shudder to contemplate

than 12,000,000,000, according to esti-
mates.
Gustav Noske, formerly minister of
defense, emphasized the urgency of
making the country know the facts,
adding: ''The people are living in a
state of intoxication. and one feels
helpless when he thinks of the posi-.
ton Germany will be in a year hence.
A debacle is certain if the people do

CONSPIRACY, CHARGE
AGAINST MOORE and
MISS MARY PICkFORD

MINDEN, New, April ia suit
asking that the decree of divorce
granted by District Judge Langan to
Gladys E. Moore, known as Mary Pick
ford, from Owen e. Moore, be set
aside was filed late today by Leonard
B. Fowler, attorney general OF New
ada. The suit was filed lin the inter-
est of the state of Nevada"
The complaint is based on allega'
lions of fraud, connivance and collu-
sion between Moore, his wife and
Douglas Fairbanks, to whom the for
mer Mrs. Moore was married a short
time after her divorce was granted.
Fairbanks Brought Into Case.
Fairbanks is brought into the case
through allegations that there was con-
spiracy between himself and his pres
ent wife to defeat that provision OF the
California law, which requires that a
year elapse before final decree of di-
vorce be granted, by having Mrs.
Moore get a divorce in Nevada.
In that respect it is alleged in the
complaint that an engagement and
agreement to wed existed between
Gladys Moore and Fairbanks prior to
Feb. Is, 1920. the date on which Mrs.
Moore came to Nevada.
heIo court IN contempt.
1he complaint refers to the divorce
as "colorable Decree" and alleges
that the defendants held the court and
it's presiding magistrate lin utter con,
tempt"
The marriage license issued by the
county clerk in Los Angeles enabling
Miss Pickford and Fairbanks to wed
is alleged In the complaint to have
been secured as part Of the fraud
ulent plan concocted by the defend
ants"
The brief stay of Miss Pickford in
, Nevada is termed a 'sojourn" and il
is charged that at no time did she es
tablish residence status within the
meaning of the law.
Charges Against Moore.
Moore came into the county "fol
the sole and only motive of having
and submitting to have personal serv
ice Of the divorce summons" the com
plant says, and also that Moores ans
wer to the divorce complaint was no,
made under oath.
Other allegations are that Miss
Pickford concealed her identity from
the Judge up to the moment of taking
the witness stand.

Gas Shortage Does Not
Affect Auto Traffic Here

Despite the slOrtage Of gasoline,
Saturdays regular auto traffic was ap-
parently undisturbed. North Ninth,
Seventh and Sixth streets with the
usual number of parked autos.
However this can be accounted for
by reason that most rural residents

School Bond Issue Failure
Causes Temporary Grants

Efforts by William Miller, Washing
ton township trustee and B. F. Whis-
sler, president of the board of educa-
tion of Cambridge City, to float a bond
issue for school improvement having
so far failed, temporary commissions
have been granted the school at Mil
ton and Cambridge City by the state
board of education according to c. o.
Williams, county superintendent Of
schools who returned from Indianap-
oils Friday.
Failure of the bond issue in Wash
ington township is explained through
the provision Of the law that a town
ship may be bonded only to 2 percent
of its assessed valuation. The amount
needed to make the improvements
would necessitate a tax levy greater
than the 2 percent maximum, it is un-
derstood.
