The ''ten-inch deadline" for skirts is deereed by the Fashion Art League of America.
 . It seems at first blush that this would make the skirts of short wom- en too short and the skirts of long women too long. But it doesn't.
 The league says that all women, short and tall are about the same height from heel to knee and thus the ten-inch deadline is fair to all.
 Besides styles are designed to make

FIRE CHECKS URGED
FOR WALTER REED

The House Rules Committee yes
terday, following hearings on the
Mcleod resolution asking for a
Congressional investigation of the
fatal fire at Walter Reed Hospital,
decided to ask the District Com
missioners and the hospital authori-
ties to cooperate in a movement to
protect the building from danger Of
future fires.
Col. J. D. Glennan, cOmmandant
at Walter Reed, told the committee
that he has asked the construction
quartermaster for tions
as to how the danger of fire in the
barracks can be decreased, and that
he will act upon the recommended
tions as soon as received.
IL is not expected that the Rules
Committee will ask for a Congress
siOnal investigation of the recent
fire. as provided in the Mcleod bill.
but that the hearings before the
committee will be construed as an
Investigation.
The committee feels, it was said,
that the District Commissioners and
the hospital authorities will ar
range, as a result Of the hearings,
for the installation of additional
are plugs and fire alarm boxes.

ANSELL ATTACKS
PLUCKING BOARD
in ARMY SYSTEM
Says Baker Uses Means
To Hurt Hundreds
Of Officers.

Appearing before the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee yesterday,
s. P AnselI, former acting Judge
Advocate General of the Army, ac-
cused Secretary Of War Baker of
setting up an iniquitious system of
recIassification under the army re-
organization act that has resulted
in the disqualification and discharge
Of hundreds of good officers.
The witness supported practically
all the charges made by Represent
ative Caldwell. of New York, that
personal prejudices in the War De-
partment had been responsible for
the mistreatment Of the regular
army men which precipitated the
inquiry. One Of the worst evils
Of the system that is employed, An
sell said. is the virtual denial of
full and free success to the records
Of defendant officers.
Accused officers" he asserted,
ARE compelled to go on trial with
out introducing their full records
and the War Department refuses to
permit counsel for them to see the
full records. They explain that it
is their policy not to permit the
records to be examined until the
court of inquiry convenes and then
we are given only the black marks
against these men. We get nothing
favorable on which to draft a brief
or defense"
Ansell told the committee that he
knew of several cases where officers
who haev spent their entire lives
in the service had been discharged
through this practice.

HOLDS STOWAWAY
BREAKS U. S. LAWS
State Department Notifies
Labor Branch That O'CaI-
laghan Violates Code.

Acting Secretary of State Davis
yesterday notified Secretary of Labor
Wilson by letter that the State De-
partment holds that under the laws
of this country Lord Mayor Donal
O'Callaghan, of Cork, being here
without a passport, is a vioIator of
law and subject to immediate depor-
tation.
President Wilson. has the power
to make an exception of the Lord
Mayors case, but the State Depart
ment presumably is rejecting White
House views, and deportation pro-
ceedings appear Inevitable.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, who is
responsible for the Lord Mayors
being released in the custody of his
attorney, has made no statement
since the State Department an
nounced its assumption of jurisdic-
tion. 1t was explained that the State
Departments letter of notification
had not been received, but there was
an obvious disposition to bow to the
will of the department SO much
closer to the White House.
In announcing the dispatch of the
letter to the Secretary of Labor, the
Acting Secretary of State announced
that the solicitor of the department
had gone into the law carefully and
had found that the Lord Mayor
should be deported. He declined to
specify the future course of the de-
partment.
