but you base your protest against
additional rental on your own ability
to pay, do you not, and not upon
the operating cost as submitted by
the owners?" asked Aattorney Minor,
of Minor and Roland. representing

my protest is made after some
con sideration of the operating cost,

swered former Senator Thomas.
1T takes nearly 20 per cent Of a
senator's income to pay for living
quarters Of ordinary comfort and

possible to pay such rent and still
make ends meet. Rents have gone
up. but salaries have not"
Former Senator Thomas said he
occupied another furnished apart.
ment at Meridian Mansions before
occupying his present quarters, for
which he thought he paid $50 for

You paid more for the furniture

IT thought I was buying the fur
niture every month and not getting

WAS II good furniture?
"Oh, swell furniture, swell furni-

In his original description of tho

Short Skirt Is Doomed
To Pass Into Discard,
Says English Artistic
Feminine Legs Are Fast Seeking
SecIusion Behind Longer
Dresses, Hetty King Con-
fesses.

The American girl gives too much
of a cabaret performance on the city
streets with her short skirt, display
Of legs, and rouged and lipsticked
countenance to be really well dressed
from the standpoint Of an English-
woman. In the person Of none other
than Hette King, the famous Lon
don character singer, who IL appear.
ing At the Shubert Belasco this week,
and who discussed American styles
with q Times reporter.
II hate to be critical" began
Miss King. but really such attire
would not be in good taste on tho
streets of London. And you know
hate to see the pretty and charm
ing American girls ruin their looks.
Why, see pretty girls making
themselves hideous."
Ultra-stagey Makeup.
The American girls are putting on
rouge at 10o-candle power. Now ex.
actly what mean by that" con-
unued the singer, herself a fashion
expert In London. "is that the
American girls put on rouge such as
theatrfcals do for a stage setting
that must be heavy under a light OF
100 candle power. You know for the
streets such a makeup is too heavy.
But, really. the Parisiennes are
the real artists when Il comes 10

Jingoists.

War between Japan and the

er and traveller, told the Washington

yesterday in Hotel Lafayette.
Japan does not any more want
war with US than we with her." he
declared. Japanese, a. q whole.
are not angry over the California
situation. but are hurt. Japan 10 no
as we treat her right"
The subject of Mr.. Russell's ad-
dress was Problems of the Pacific"
which, he told his audience, cannot
be settled until politics In the Orr.
ent are settled.
THE entir Far East Is looking 10
the United States for guidance" he
said. Our own Government 10
founded on democracy, freedom and
justice. and with these three cardinal
virtues to our credit the Far East
has implicit faith in the United
States.
AS an illustration Of the kindly
feeling China holds TO the United
States, the speaker. who has just
returned from q tour Of the Orient.
told of seeing pictures Of George
Washington carried in street parades.
Summing up the whole problem,
the speaker declared the solution
could be found in four concrete prop
ositions, viz: Recognition by the
United States OF the Far East, q
friendly understanding with japan.
recognition of the Chinese republic
and withdrawal of United States oc-
cupation in the Philippines
Through the medium Of these
four acts on the part Of the United

the Pacific will be found" he de.
cIared.
