The Hoop Skirt Is Coming.

The purists are going to have
their inning and the jazz skirt is
doomed. Those who have refrained
from drinking wood alcohol for
fear of going blind during the brief
skirt epidemic need have no such
computations in the future. A
prominent French fashion journal
says the hoop skirt will be all the
rage within one year.
The first hoop skirt was designed
by Omar the Tentmaker and the
idea was later used by p. T. Bar
mum to house his congress OF
freaks and animals. So far as his
tory goes Omar's design was first

BY AUSTIN WEST.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
LONDON.-One by one the main
supports Of the Sim Fen campaign
in Ireland are being swept away by
the government forces.
For a long time the Sim Feiners
found it comparatively easy to snug
gle war equipment into the country,
but the gradual requirement Of con-
troll OF all ports and systematic
searching of ships has made it in
creasingly difficult to obtain fresh
supplies. Even the smuggling out
Of the country Of wanted men, dis
patches and anti-British propaganda
has been reduced to a minimum.
The task OF defeating Sim Fein-
ers in this manner is in the hands
Of the Auxiliary Division Of the r.
l. c. The majority of its members
are ex-naval and their experience is
so varied that between them they
could muster crews to navigate any
craft from a submarine TO a super
dreadnought. Searching squads in
charge of officers inspect vessels. A
merchant ship having picked up her
pilot proceeds into harbor and is
boarded by customs officials. On
arrival in dock she is met by the
Auxiliarles' searching squad.
Most Of the firearms and explos-
ives smuggled into Ireland are pack
ed in cases labeled as common mer-
chandise.
Passengers disembarking by tend
or from the American liners, as well
as passengers aboard the mail boats
from Kingstown TO Holyhead. are
scrutinized. All along the coast
yachts, vessels Of every type are ex-
amined. Even small fishing boats
of unfrequented villages by the sea
do not escape search.
These activities are causing great
embarrassment 10 the Sim Fein
leaders. who are finding it no mean
task to obtain a steady flow Of mu-
nitions necessary to carry on their
/ campaign.
