DRESSING UP MADE AMERICA

A shoe manufactures with an eye to the main
chance suggested the other day in the course of an ad-
dress at a gathering Of the trade that through a pow
erful combination, the shoe maker. the clothes maker,
the glove maker and all accessory makers should pool
their interests and finance a high-grade campaign that
Will make American men want to spruce up and
dress up"
On the word of this witness, we have it that in
matters OF dress American men are far below the stand
ard set by the male population in Other enlightened
countries. If this inattention to dress details were
merely a question OF our not being able to afford mere
and better clothes, this maker Of shoes would let US go
unlisturbed on our undress way. But he thinks he
sees in it a matter of temperament: We could If we
would, but we went.
And so he urges his fellow-makers of wearing ap-
pared to dress US up. One may see. he says. more walk
in the whole United States. We care even less for
gloves than We do for walking sticks, We care less for
silk hats than we do for gloves We care less for spats
than we do for silk hats.
II is extremely annoying TO this better-dress advo-
cote that We wear gloves only to keep our hands warm,
and that as a rule we carry canes only when verenable
and lame. That anyone should wear a pair Of last sea-
sons shoes is to this manufacturer Of footwear a direct
slap in the face. He is going to set us right in this
matter at once. This trick is to be accomplished by
working on our temperament. 1t is to be changed to
conform more to European models. The speaker did
not tell his audience in what part of Europe he has
lately travelled to get his information about the better
dressed Europeans, whether it was in Vienna or in
northern France. that he saw fancy spats and silk hats
and canes. But his appeals to cur temperament will
have to be based more solidly on facts if they are to be
effective.
However shocking and disconcertfng 1t may be TO
the foreign better dressed gentry, it is probably true
that for the most part the American mans idea of
wearing clothes for comfort is a firmly fixed one. He
~ather suspects that some Of the accoutrements with
which this dress reformer would weigh him down are
hang-overs Of days which we thought Europeans were
trying TO leave behind them. But for all that he will
not object to anyones trying a campaign Of tempera-
ment changing.

will increase the influence of the strong Republican
states. since there is a bonus IN delegates offered for
added votes. The change abandons the population
feature without regard to political affiliations and es-
t"ablishlng something quite akin TO representation pro-
portionate to the Republican vote cast. Under the
old system Texas has delegates in number not far below
Pennsylvania. yet the latter is certainly a far more de-
pendable Republican state than the former.
1t is well that the inequalities have been wiped
cut. or SC nearly that there is no reasonable objection to
the new arrangement. The method has been agitated
fer long and, while it has been late in arriving. that 1t
has finally reached fruition Is satisfying.

PARTY REPRESENTATION

In readjuting the representation of the Southern
states in the national convention of the party, the Re-
publican National committee puts the apportionment
more nearly on the basis of the votes cast. II is com
pletion of a movement in the direction Of giving the
states that do the electing dominant place in making
.he nominations. No state is deprived Of a voice, but
where the Republican organization is merely nominal
the representation is likewise. Some OF the Southern
politicians objected to the plan but since 1t contemplates
q distribution more nearly on merit than heretofore,
there can be no valid objection urged against 1t. Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina are the worst losers. but we
do not recall that they have assisted materially in the
election of any Republican president. Any state whose
representation is reduced can increase 1t by increasing
its Republican vote. and that seems fair.
Representation based on the number OF senators
and representatives. as was the plan up to FIVE years
ago. was an arbitrary arrangement purely. It was
in no respect representative Of the voting strength of the
party. II honor goes where honor is due, representa-
ton should be founded on votes cast. The new basis

Marines To
Shield Ships
From Bombs

Washington, Oct. 6.-The first
practical demonstration since the
recent air-bombing tests of the
methods of defense to be employed
against these attacks are being
staged by marines on land, dur
ing the maneuvers now in prog
ress in Virginia.
In order to carry out this de-
monstration the main deck plan of
modern battleship will be plot
ted off on land. Anti-aircraft guns
and powerful searchlights will be
placed on the plan as they are
situated on a real ship. Further
away will be laid out in similar
fashion the deck plan Of the new
airplane carriers. From this deck
will be launched a defending
group of pursuit planes, which
will take part in the defense OF
the battleship and from the same
deck will fly the hostile bombing
planes, in order to prove the abil-
ity of both kinds Of craft in land
ing and flying at sea.
During the bombing attacks on
the "battleship" the hostile bomb
ers will carry out the same tactics
which were tried at sea recently.
but with the difference that where
the realships at sea were vitruall |
ally defenseless owing to tehir
having been stripped of armament
the land ship will be fully armed.
Thus for the first time the ectual
defensive tactics possible for I bat
.leship will be shown. Searchlights
will play at night, ferreting out
probably in the form of
he kite balloons, which will be
ired on by the aircraft batteries.

High Prices
Of Drugs Are
Crime Cause

Portland, Or, Oct. 6. - Hal
the crime in the city Of Portland
is committed by drug addicts, who
are either crazed as the result ol
taking drugs or are willing tc
commit any crime to get drugs
in the belief of DR.. George Parrish,
city health officer.
Parrish who has made a study
Of the drug situation, believes
$4,000 is being daily extorted
from men and women Of Portland
who are unfortunate victims Of
the drug habit and have fallen in
to the clutches of the drug run
ners.
Instead Of increasing the police
force to combat crime, the health
officer would round up the drug
addicts Of the city and place them
under the care and protection Of
a municipal narcotic bureau.
my PLAN" explained ParrRh,
"is to establish a bureau in the
city health office where we will
file and card-index the history and
cases Of the drug addicts and fur
nish them the necessary drugs un-
der federal license, at cost plus a
fee which will be suf-
ficient to maintain the bureau and
two inspectors.
The average drug addict, thru
underground channels, must pay
from $40 to SIS a day for his dope. |

Of the confirmed drug addict for

the same addicts
-oday are out in the city, stealing
committing burglary and some

Such bureau will virtually
tut the illegal drug seller out Of
understanding that arrest

d In doing. Finally, with such a
'ureau it will be possible to help

ge Of the drug by cooperating in
the doses and gradu-
lily liberating him or her from the
