ARKANSAS SLAYER
 IS GRANTED PARDON

(By International News Service)
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. l. - For the first time in the history of his administration Governor T. C. Me Rae has exercised his pardon power by committing the sentence of NJ. F. Jackson, sixty-eight-year-old slayer, who during 1911 served two weeks of a ten-year sentence, escaped and re- mained unmolested on his Mississippi county farm for ten years.
 Jackson was convicted of staying John Holland, bad man." in Decem- Der, 1910, being actuated, he con. tended at his trial, by the motive of self defense. Public sentiment ap- parently favored the old farmer, as no attempt was made to arrest him following his return home after he had escaped.
 Due to a persistent desire of his landlord to sell the farm on which Jackson resided, the aged tiller was taken into custody and returned to the penitentiary. The sheriff of Mississippi county wrote Governor McRae a letter explaining his reluc- tance in arresting Jackson. He would not make the arrest, he said, unless ordered to do so by the state.
 Following Jackson's return to the penitentiary the governors office was besieged with petitions from statesmen and citizens throughout Arkansas urgiag the chief executive to pardon the old man so that he might spend the last few years with his people.

MILADY CALLS
 CORSETSBACK
 FROM DISCARD

LOS ANGGELES, Aug. 1.-Take a good, firm hold on both strings and pull, for the corset is coming back.
 Waistline circumferences will be- come small, also. This will mean added strain on the corset strings. more rigid dieting and additional rig ors of excerise.
 So far as youthful femininity Is con cerned the corset has been away for long time.
 The boys have missed it--in the Ishadowy corners where stolen hugs were surreptitiously exchanged and in the full glare of the electric lights, where the arms of dancing partners were entwined.
 The girls have missed it - in not having a firm foundation for stocking supporters and a rigid anchorage for detached skirts.
 Yet, femininity Is to again don its armor," said Madame Adele. a widely known corsetiere, formerly of Paris, who is connected with a popular Los Angeles establishment that caters to the worlds best-known motion picture actresses.
 If one will refer to history, espe- cially the history of France, it will be found that after each great war wom- en go back to what were formerly popular forms of dress" continued Madame Adele. During the World war the women of France dressed as simply as they could and with the greatest freedom to be possibly ob- tained. Now they are going in for common.sense corests. and the move ment is spreading to other sections of the world.
 But, with the return of corscts as la proper and fashionable form of dress, one must not presume that the loldfashioned heavy-boned corscts jwil come into favor, for they won't The popular corsets of the immediate future will be light-boned or elastic webbed creations, leaving the figures of their wearers entirely natural and "ery supple.
 Tt is my belief that American Women will become educated to the Icustom of having their corsets prop erly fitted An improperly-fitted cor. set is not only bad for the health. but is a poor investment, for it will not give good wear
 "High-gradc corsets will cost just a little more than before the war. but the change will not make much differ cnce 10 American women, for they usually want the best quality of every thing in their apparel.
 Since Los Angeles has become the worlds capital of motion picture pro duction is has become a great fashion center It is now almost an a par with New York in that respect. and if It continues to attract as many fine stores as in the last few years it will excel Paris in many respects before another decade has passed"
 But, anyhow, corsets won't join the dinosaurus. the great auk. tine dodo bird and other historical but extinct species, for they're coming back in popular favor.
