THE CORSET IS COMING BACk--STYLE DEGREES ITS RESURRECTION FROM THE
 DISCARD TO PRESERVE MIL ADY'S SHAPE

Los Angeles, July 5-Take a good, firm hold on both strings and pull, for the corset is coming back
 Waist-1ine circumferenceS will be- come smaller, also. This will mean added strain on the corset strings, more rigid dieting and additional ri gors of exercise.
 So far as youthful femininity is concerned the corset has been away for a long ti&e.
 The boys have missed it-in the were surreptitiouSly exchanged and in the full glare of 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.
 'Yes, femininity is to again don its armor,'' said Madame Adele, a wide ly- known corsetiere, formerly of Paris, who is connected with a pop ular Los Angeles establishment that caters to the worlds best motion pie ture actresses.
 eff one will refer to history, espe- cially the history of France, it will be found that after each great war won- en go back to what were formerly popular forms of dress" continued Madame Adele. During the World War the women of Paris dressed as simply as they could and with the greatest freedom to be possibly ob- tained. Now they are going in for common-sense corsets, and the move ment is spreading to other sections of the world.
 To Make Contours Supple.
 'fBut, with the return of corsetS as
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-07-05

a proper and fashionable form of dress, one must not presume that the o1d-fashioned, heavy-boned corsets will come into favor, for they won't. The popular corsets of the immediate future will be Hght-boned or elas- tic-webbed creations, leaving the if gureS of their wearers entirely nat ura1 and very supple.
 "It is my belief that American women will become educated to the custom of having their corsets prop erly fitted. An improper1y-fitted cor set is not only bad for the health, but is a poor investment, for it will not give good wear.
 ''High-grade corsets will cost just a little more than before the war, but the change will not make much diff ference to American women for they usually want the best quality of everything in their apparel.
 Since Los Angeles has become the worlds capital of motion picture production it has become a great fa- shion center 1t is now almost on a par with New York in that respect and if it continues to attract as many fine stores 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, the dodo bird and other historical but extinct species, for they're coming back in popular favor.

REPORTS OF ORE
 BODIES RICH IN GOLD

The Pas. Man, July 5-Go1d fe- yer has temporarily displaced ex- citement here incident to the rush to the oil fields, and prospectors are leaving daily for the scene of the re- ported rich mineral strike.
 Reports of ore bodies rich in gold content having been uncovered come from several sections, but the richest is reported at Elbow Lake in the Athapapuskow Lake mineral area and east of the famous Gordon Dyke, discovered last summer. Elbow Lake is about 200 miles northeast of The Pas.
 Mining men who have visited the spot have returned here with an ac- count of a vein sixty feet wide where in free gold is freely seen. Until it is stripped, they declare, however it is possible only to approximate the value and tonnage.
 Other prospectors who have wis fed the region following the import of the strike declare that a mineral body forty feet wide and traced for $50 feet in length has been uncover heavily deposited. One prospector had two pounds of ore of which sam pies are considered the richest ever brought here.
 Another strike, the exact location of which is vague, also has thrown Peace river into the throes of gold fever. The cause of the excitement was the recent arrival of a party who investigated a claim which fur nished an old Indian trapper. about 70 miles northeast of here, with a number of small nuggets.

WHICH RAT STOLE GEMS.

Rome, July 5 - Mrs. Helen Wen ming, an AIsatfon residing in a fash fonable hotel here, recently reported to the police that she had missed a pearl necklace from her jewel case. Everything was done to find out what had become of the gems.
 Detectives interviewed hotel em- pIoyes but no clue could be found. A day or two later, one of the men searching about the hooks and cor ners of Mrs. WenniAg's room found a piece of the necklace near a tiny hole in the floor. A thorough in vestigation was then then made and from all that was found, the detec- lives concluded that rats had stolen aHax with the lady,ss string of pearls

VIRTUES vs. MODERN GIRL

Boston, July @ The girl or 1921 and her mode of dress have found another defender. He is Ralph Flanders, manager of the New Eng land Conservatory of Music.
 Have a little patience with the girl of today" he says. Just be- cause her virtues are different from her grandmamma's is no reason she hasn't got 'em. After all, there are styles, even in goodness. you know.
 For every silly modern girl can show you a hundred self-dependeut, self-supportins, eager, intelligent young women.
 Flanders declared that hygiene had considerable to do with the evolution of feminine attire.

ALLEGE PLOT
 TO DOMINATE
 SUGAR BUSINESS

Havana, July 5-The newspaper La Discussion has published a charge that 'capitalistic plot" to dominate the Cuban sugar industry has been formed and that all the Cuban su- gar centrals will be owned by for elgners. The newspaper asserts that when the Cuban sugar business is found in foreign hands, it is almost certain that the price of sugar will rise as If by magic and that the bus mess will be on an even more stu pendous scale than now.
 When American capitalists begin ban centrals." the paper continued.
 they foreSaw an era of prosperity and brought without sparing their nlil1ons ions as as many sugar properties product rose to 23 cents then it was seen that good part of the crop re- mained in Cuban hands and that the Cubans aspired to obtain the highest possfole price Then the price fell like an avalanche from 23 cents to three cents.
 First a bank crisis. then cur 1ency cr1sis There was no money TO pay for refining, nobody to buy thIS years crop from the Cubans''
 Our sugar men now find them selves owing large sums of money to lne hanks They have not been able to sell their crop. With the examination of the moratorium will T. ding commercial obligations. The sugar men will have to pay or go bankrupt
 The banks are not interested in holding sugar centrals
 on the other hand, there exists much idle foreign capital which is ANXIOUS to make a killing. Right now a powerful company is being formed to acquire every central and plantation whose owner cannot paw The properties secured, the debfs VIII be paid.

AGGIES LOSE WEIRD
GAME AT BUENA VISTA

The Americas Aggies were defeat
ed in an eleven-inning game FRIDAY
in Buena Vista by a score of 16 to
Is. The game was delayed for some
time when the Americas players dis
covered that some one had stolen
their bats several gloves and two
balls. After these had been found
buried near the ball park, the game
started.
The Americas players were several
times in the lead, but Buena Vista
would even things up in her inning.
In the eleventh inning Americas was
3 runs ahead when Buena Vista came
to the bat. By this time it was SO
dark the ball could hardly be seen.
The first three men up were struck
out, but the catcher dropped the ball
on the third strike each time, and the
players beat the ball to first. Enough
runs were scored to defeat the Amer
lcus lads.
The Americas batteries were Hines

ALBANY DOWNS
HIGH nine HERE
Husky Sluggers Prove
Too Much For Amer
icus Lads

The Americas High school baseball
team suffered its second defeat at the
hands of the Albany nine at the
playground Friday afternoon, the
score being IL to 6. The game was
a dull exhibition, though the specta-
tors were given an occasional thrill,
one of these coming when Roland
BrOadhurst, Americas first baseman,
hit three-bagger with two men on
bases, and himself scoring a few min
utes later.
The feature of the game was the
hitting "of the Albany lads, they be-
ing the heaviest-hitting high school
nine seen here in some time. They
were all heavy men, and managed to
connect with the light Americas
pitchers. Two-baggers were ordinary
for them, they getting several. Be
SIDES being the heaviest hitters and
the largest high school team seen in
Americas recently, they were also
the oldest looking school boys ever
seen here.
The batteries for the game were:
Americus-Baugh, Finley and
Pantone, pitchers; Player, catcher.
Albany-Sellars, pitcher; Harris,
catcher.
The next game to be played by the
Americas lads will be with the Col
umbus High nine in Columbus next
Friday.
