Modern Clothes Designed To Give
Corsetless Erect

In none OF the illustrations OF In
door and outdoor costume is the corset
evident These froeks apd the sport
suit are appropriate for any age OF
feminlnlty-according TO fashion now
but only a very young girl, slim and
firm ef muscles could wear such cos
TUNES absolutely without corset sup
port. Modern clothes are built TO sug-
gest natural figure lines. but the hs-
ure lines must approach as near as
possible natural perfection before the
clothes are donned; and this effect in
most cases can only be achieved by
the wearing OF a flexible, cleverly cut
corset OF absolute syppleness and
comfort Not forgetting the lndispens-
able brassiere which holds the flesh
above the corset in Arm, trim lines.
Two Illustrations show the perfect
corset in standing and sitting posi-
tions. The wearer OF this corset. in
her frock or tailored suit would have
perfectly natural figure lines and
would seem TO be wearing no corset
at all.

which always makes a heavy waist
line in time and the line Of the back
will remain straight below the waist
line and not have that ugly matronly
curve which thrown-back hips always
give.
A friend meets you on the street
and exclaims: How we'll you look,
my dear" Quite inyoluntarily you
draw up and take the correct position,
chest lifted bit and the muscles
around the waist supporting the torso.
See to it that you keep that position
grow in the habit Of holding it--and
do not slump back into your corset
the moment your friend has passed
on. The naturally perfect figure that
has less need Of corsets has these
strong, supple waist muscles. In youth
they are almost always firm and sup
pie, but in later years woman allows
her corset to do the work Of holding
up, and more and more she slumps
down upon--or into-her corset and
the waist muscles become flabby from
want Of use If the figure is inclined
to be fat, the fat Will settle around
these useless waist muscles and the
waistline will grow gradually heavier
and more ungainly.
Exercise viii Aid A Good Corset
So, no matter how beautifully your
corset flts, keep your waistline trim
and strong with simple exercises and
by that much will YOU ward off the
appearance OF advancing years
The first exercise is the exercise Of
correct posture just referred to: Hold
your chest up and make your wais
muscles support your diaphragm unit!
you DO this naturally. without think

By Kruttsehmitt.

Washington, d. G., May IA table
showing what sums had been expended
for railway operating expenses and
taxes from 1917 10 1920. inclusive, was
submitted to the Senate interstate
commerce committee to-day by Julius
Krdttschmitt, chairman of the board
Of the Southern Pacific, who appeared
for conclusion of his cross-exsmination
in connection with the committees in
quiry into the railroad situation.
The total Of operating expenses and
taxes for the railroads. according TO

MEXICO WILL NOT
SIGN PROTOCOL
As a Condition to Recognition BY
United States, Says Pres
ident obregon.

Mexico City, May Ia Mexico can
not and will not sign formal protocol
as a condition to recognition by the
United States, President Obregon an
nounced to-day in referring to Presl-
dent Harding's policy, as outlined IN
dispatches received here on Tuesday.
He said he had received letters recently
from friends in Washington who as
sured them they saw in President
Harding, Secretary OF State Hughes
and Assistant Secretary of State
Fletcher, three men with extremely
cordial feelings toward Mexico, who
apparently were inclined to establish
relations between the two countries.
Although President 0bregon has in
sisted that this government cannot
sign a formal treaty, or protocol, II Is
known here that an informal exchange
of communications between the two
governments. which would be tanta-
mount to formal conferences, would
not be rejected by the Mexican govern
ment. Friends OF President Obregon as
sert that he is willing TO give the Unit
ed States any information il desires
relative to conditions in Mexico As
surances have been given as to safe
guards and guarantees for foreign in
vestments and various public declara-
tions by President 0bregon indicate he
believes such assurances are ample
and sufficient to prove the nations
stability and its right to recognition.
Referring to Great Britsin's evident
intention to withhold recognition until
safeguards are given, the foreign office
states that the Mexican government
wishes at all times to return all CON
fiscated property to its legitimate
owners and TO pay for damage suffered
during revolutions.
Not for one moment the state
ment added, docs the Mexican gov
ernment wish 10 abrogate its promises,
much less to appropriate goods belong
ing to another, either foreigner or a
Mexican"

THREE TOWNS CTR.
OF BITTER STRUGGLE
Growing Out of Disturbed
Conditions of Long
Duration

Williamson, W. Va, May l3.-The
people of the upper Tug river valley
where a battle ragged yesterday be-
tween forces of the state and ritiemen
hiddn in the mountains, awaited to-
day some news concerning the request
of Governor Morgan that federal troops
be sent into the district.
Captain Brockus, commanding the
little force of state troopers who held
the towns OF Merrimac, Sprigg and Al
burg, had so disposed his forces late
last night as to hold in check the at
tacking forces in the mountains.
Reports from the vicinity of McCarr
on the Kentucky side of the river were
that the firing continued intermittent
until late in the night, but there was
no information that the list of casual
ties, one known dead and two wounded
had been increased. A report from Me
Carr that one of the attacking party
had been killed was not confirmed.
David Phillips and J. c. Mccoy, who
were arrested at Sprigg by the state
police in connection with the shoot.
ing of Harry c. Staten, state prohibi-
on officer, soon after the firing start
ed, it is expected will be arranged TO-
day.

police stationed at Sprigg, one of the
towns in yesterdays battle zone. Re

mountains had been resumed soon aft.

The attack on the mining towns Is
declared b ythe authorities to be an
outgrowth of the disturbed conditions
which have prevailed along the upper
Tug river with varying intensity since
detectives sent TO evict miners from
last May 10, when a party OF private
company houses at Hatewan became
involved in conflict with the people OF
that town. Detectives and three of the
towns residents were killed A strike
of miners in this section was called
last July and has since been IN prog.
ress. On two other occasions federal
troops have been called into Mingo
county to restore order.
