 By the treaty of 1904, Bolivia ceded the Province of Antofagasta in which is now located one of the most i'm portant ports in northern Chile.
 Bolivia's original claim was pre- sented at the second assembly of the league, but was withdrawn and again brought before the recent meeting at Geneva.

AHA! SHORT SKIRT WAS DEVISED
 AS REFORM
Originally Designed to Keep Women From Sweeping Streets and Carrying Home Germs, It Has Aviated Considerably In Twenty-four Years.

New York, Nov. IS = The secret is out: Short skirts are a reform movement!
 But the original reformers now de- clared their idea was carried too far.
 The twenty-ffth anniversary of the Rainy Day Club has just been cele- brated here and it was disclosed that the club was organized in the n1net1eS to do away with the long, trailing dresses worn by women on the theory that they were unsanitary. Five or six business women wanted to abolish the fashion of sweeping the streets and dumping the dust on the par!or rugs at home. And so the short-sklrt movement was born
 Mrs A. M. Palmer, president of the club for the last twenty-four years, said the little group of serious think CTS decided to wear skirts four inches above the ground. "Wherever we ap- ed" she said "Men would make sly remarks upon our appearance; women in carriages looked scornfully down on us and drew their own draped. trailing skirts more closely apout them, We were looked upon as freaks When we entered the tene- ment districts on charitable missions we were stoned by small boys. It was a dangerous and humi1iating exper1- ence. Soon we had new members ana @ new club room.
 Modistes Take Up Idea.
 CT can't say just when the modistes started taking up the idea we had launched but it was about two years after we had begun wearing shorter skirts. Finally society women, who had looked aSkance from their car riages, came down to the ground and saw first-hand what our movement was doing; a few of them copied our style, and then the modfstes got busy.
 i've had marshaled statistics prov ing that the sweeping skirts worn by I7n home.
 I've were contented with the skirt which just cleared the ground by four inches. That meant comfort and free- dom for us. But when the modistes got busy it was different. First came the six-inches from the ground skirt Then they grew longer again. Some years they were wide and sometime es narrow. But try as they would they could not get the trailing skirts in style to stay again. Woman once freed of an encumTbrance like that will nev- CT revert to it again of her own free will.
 Skirts Get Shorter
 ''It was only in recent years that the movement got out of hand entire ly, and with leaps and bounds the skirts began to go up, up, up, and there's no knowing where they will stop. I think the word modesty should be eliminated from the diction- ary as useless and meaning nothing to the girl or woman of today. l am positive that short skirts are here to stay. I only hope, in the interests of decency, that we can come to a real promise on the length which will at least partially cover the exposures now in vogue."
 And the meantime the latest fashion edict from Paris is that short skirts will be worn no longer That l is to say that, while remaining re1a- lively short, the short skirt will no longer be worn, or at least-well, any | way
