Harding" We are told in an ar
ticle in the New York World, by an
American authority on mems tailored
clothes, "it' is said, is likely to go
down as the best dressed president
since Garfield who has been called the
most fastidious Of them all.
When he was in New York recent
ly," the sartorial expert goes on, for
The unveiling of the Bolivar monu-
ment, Mr.. Harding was mpeccably
clad.
He wore a two-button cut-away OF
dark oxford gray. bound with braid,
light gray striped trousers and but
toned shoes. His shirt was white silk
with black stripes. His four-in-hand
scarf was of black silk. with diagonal
white stripes. HIS collar was high
band fold. Especially marked was the
f. of his clothes.
Mr.. Wilson was always dressed IN
the mode. but tailors used TO complain
continues this comparison Of presiden-
tial attire. "of the way his garments
set Mr.. Taft had a habit OF wearing
his coats unbuttoned until they fell
in comfortable but unlovely lines. Mr..
Roosevelt paid little attention to his
clothes and always felt most at home
H. those in which he knocked around
"Mr. Mckinley made far better
appearance than his vice president.
Mr.. Cleveland like most men OF
great bulk. did not look well in
his clothes and Mr.. Harrison was too
stuff in his bearing to give his a
chance.
Mr.. Garfield was even, more of
dandy in his dress than Mr.. Arthur,
who took the conventionalities very
s, riously."
From the above description Of the
presidents habiliments on the occasion
OF his unveiling the Bolivar monu-
ment. and from photographs which
we have seen of him, Mr.. Harding OBJ
viously goes nattiy dressed without
wearing anything flashy,
This article from the World mas al
ready appeared in what We believe is
the leading magazine devoted to the
designing and Interpretation of mems
STYLES. So il seems the tailors are alert
TO hold up the president as criter-
ion of their handwork. Mrs Harding,
100, has contributed something in
the way Of good taste in women's ap-
rarel. AS a result we have Harding

And since women have the vote who
knows but that a candidates wife
may invite or repel sympathy among
the fair voters for her husband mainly
on account Of the way she dresses.
While the two candidates extol the
righteous principles of their respective
platforms, will their wives discourse
on the cardinal colors and their shades,
while one champions the fierce colors
tf Spain. will the other promise the
' ogue of the quiet and restfu tints Of
Japan.

ground that Community League

10 play no team which would violate
this ruling. In the seventh inning
with the score IT'S in favor Of

but later decided to play under pro-

the game forfeited. since five min

there was, however, no umpire. as
the umpire had taken a place on

NAVY WILL TRY
Indirect firing
Plan Is to Make Battleship
Iowa Unseen Target for
Air Attack
OLD VESSEL UNDER
RADIO CONTROL

WASHINGTON. July IA. New
strength is coming TO the American
Navy from the heavens. The navy
Is willing to greet its new fighting
arm-the air force-with open arms
Although the bombing tests which
are now going on Off the Virginia
Capes, in which air craft are given
fair opportunity to demonstrate their
effectiveness against naval vessels.
have failed to convince the men OF
the navy that battle fleets can be
conquered from the air alone. they
have succeeded in convincing naval
officers that air forces can be Of
great aid to the navy in future war
fare. There is a decided sentiment
in the Atlantic Fleet in favor of in
creased appropriations for air forces,
together with increased appropria-
tions for the development OF fighting
surface craft. The navy on the seas
want huge. fast airplane carriers in
order that air forces may be depend
ed upon as weapons OF offense as
well as defense in any war that may
spring up in the years to come
With the use Of aircraft the navy
expects TO develop successfully a new
venture in naval warfare-indirect
firing. The Allied fleets used in
direct fire in attacks upon land de-
fenses during the World War, but Il
has never been successfully used in
naval battles as yet. The men OF
the American Navy are convinced
that. with the air Of aircraft, they
can develop an accuracy in indirect
FIRE which will be deadly to the enc
my.
Indirect firing is nothing more
than shooting at an unseen target.
The target being found miles and
miles away by the airplanes, its To-
cation and range being reported by
airplane, and the fire directed by
mathematical precision from a bat
tleship within range, but out Of sight
of the enemy Indirect firing can
be accomplished at range of from
10000 yards upward. according to
naval officers.
The armies have used indirect fire
in the World War with success. The
navies have used il in attacks on
land defenses. Now come the
American naval officers to develou
indirect fire on moving enemies al
sea II can be done, they are GER
tain.
The old battleship Iowa, under
radio control. is soon to be a target
for the big guns OF the big fleet. and
while plans have not been published
IL Is generally whispered about the
fleet that the Iowa will be subjected
10 an attack by indirect fire. II the

rect hits upon this maneuvering

women Elders
NOW IN BRITAIN
Presbyterian General AS
sembly Votes to Admit
and Ordain Them
CHALLENGING OF
JURIES OPPOSED

LONDON.-At the recent session
In Newcastle the General Assembly
OF the Presbyterian Church OF Eng
land decided to admit women to the
eldership and deaconship and au-
thorized their ordination as such Of
fee bearers.
The committee reported declaring
no barrier in principle to the ad-
mission OF women to the ministry,
proposing that there be prepared
for the next assembly a reasoned
statement on the subject and recon-
mending ministers to invite women
OF gifts and conservation to give ad-
dresses in church. Women. II ad-
mitted to the ministery, are to be
licensed by the Presbytery but to
resign on marriage. After a long
debate the principle was affirmed by
156 votes 10 124.
The practice OF challenging wo-
men jurors on the ground OF sex is
causing growing dissatisfaction.
Prominent women have drawn up a
bill which they hope to introduce in
the House OF Commons this sum-
mer, the chief points of which are
that all married women whose hus-
bands are qualified for jury service
shall be similarly liable' that no
Judge or chairman of quarter ses-
sions can claim that a case should
be heard without women jurors II a
child or woman is concerned in the
case. either a prisoner or witness
and that in a criminal action neither
the accused nor the prosecution may
raise an objection to women jurors
on account OF their sex.
The Brighton and Hove branch OF
the National Council OF Women. rep
resenting sixteen local women's or
ganizations, has adopted a resolution
affirming that women must accept
the responsibility Of jury service and
all It entails in the interest OF the
community and OF justice and en-
phatically protesting against any disi
tinction being made between the
sexes in regard TO jury service.
