NEW YORK. November 2S.-
There'll be no regulation Of skirt
lengths. no ban on bare knees. no
outcry against the bobbing of
tresses or the parking of corsets
by her employees when Miss Annie
Mathews takes over on January l
the Office to which she has Just
been elected as register of the
county of New York-the richest
political plum that has ever fallen
into the lap of a woman in New
York. If not in the entire United
States.
Not that the s12,ooo-a-year reg
ister-elect hasn't very decided
ideas on clothes and all the allied
arts so precious to women. Indeed.
she has spent the greater part of
her forty-odd years studying the
clothes problem, first as dress
maker, then as designer and finally
as an importing modiste. But she
has even more decided ideas on the
question of personal liberty.
4 am opposed to all prohibition"
she said. "It Is impossible to make
women or men moral by legisla-
tion. The human race can be Inn
proved only by education that will
make them appreciate the good
and the artistic.

ployes ask for my advice on

A movable steel dam, placing Of
which is described by government
officials in the office Of the United
States engineer here as q remark
able engineering feat, is nearing
completion In the north canal at
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
The most remarkable feature of

swinging Of the entire framework
of the dam, weighing approxi-
mately. eighty tons. into place at
one time. This was accomplished
by means Of stiff leg derrick on
either side of the canal.
The dam will have been installed

throne"
In those days. says the Prote
Voussa. Greece was represented IN
Washington by junior and unfieged
member of the diplomatic service
named NJ. Drakopoulos. This young
diplomatist, having misinterpreted
the instruction of the then prime
minister, the late NJ. Rhallys, briefly
communicated to the American. gov
ernment that there was no occa-
sion to announce the return of King
constantine to the throne. inasmuch
as he had never ceased to be the law
fui sovereign of Greece.

rms is said 10 have created the
impression that the obligations as
suHhed Dy Greece during the Veni-
zelist regime would not be recoe
nized. To eliminate this impression
the Hellenic government categori
caHy declared to Prof. Edwards
Capps. then American minister in
Athens, that Greece fully recognized
those obligations.
according TO the explanation given
here, Constantine was, however, not
recognized by the United States
owing to the action of European
power which declared that if the
United States government recognized
constantine that power would recog-
n'ze the regime in Mexico.
More ConciIfatinE Attitude.
However, the Protevoussa, says, the
European power in question has now
assumed a more conciliating attitude
and on the other hand relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
have appreciably improved. 1t is,
consequently. says the premier's
organ to be expected that the Con
stantinian question will now be set
tied SO far as America is concerned.
1t" is regarded as urgent that a
Greek special delegation should go to
the United States, since it is almost
impossible for the Greek government
TO be In constant touch with its dip
iomatic representative in Washing
ton. owing to the great distance
separating the United States capital
from Athens.
