ciples and safeguards which enlight-
ened public opinion has sanctioned
and officially declared necessary to
the wellbeing Of the men ard women

ton industry, but in all basic indus
tries" Mr.. Jewell said He stated
them as follows:

The case was continued In court
until next week, hut outside Capt.
Baker said the trouble was all due to
the fact that a man could not be at

His accounts were short, he admitted,
saying he had reported the fact him
self. The crew came to him for pay

change rates varied. The result, Cap
tain Baker said. was that many were
overpaid because OF his inability to

THE RED CROSS DRIVE.

To thoes who contribute to the Red
! Cross in its current campaign, it
should be no small satisfaction to feel
that to no organization could money
be given with more certainty on the
part of the donor that it win be spent
wisely and economically in addition to
being spent in a good cause and large
~ at home.
: So often the criticism is made of
welfare organizations that the sums
profigate hand. The business man is
apt to think that business methods are
the last things used in the administer
ing of such funds. He is apt to re-
sent, and rightly so, seeing money he
shas earned by the. sweat of his brow
and given out of the goodness of his
heart frittered away without regard to
system.
Such charge cannot be made
against the Red Cross. II has proved
it's efficiency under circumstances
where efficiency might have been
most easily showed aside. During the
war, when governments and people
alike were none too careful in their
conservation of money or men, the
Red Cross had the extraordinary rec
ord of spending one dollar and two
cents for every dollar contributed to
its work The extra penny on each
dollar was due to the banks, bonds
and other interest paying agencies in
which the money contributed by the
public was placed.
In all its work, the Red Cross has
earned a reputation for good manage
ment That its financial matters are
not less carefully supervised than its
Other departments, is proven by the
above record What it did well in
war the Red Cross is certain to do
even better in peace, and in its pres
ent campaign the public feels that the
Red Cross asks for money with clean
hands.

THE SKIRT PROBLEM AGAIN.

critical If not cynical students o
life have expressed the opinion tha
when human ideals, principles or ev
en- morality comes into conflict with
our selfish interests, it is always easy
to determine which will give way
which must give. way.
The question of how far feminine
modesty may be forced to strategic
retreat before the forces of economic
compuIsion is under discussion by
Howard nFigg, special assistance to At
torneg General Palmer, from one an
gle, and the National Garment Re
tailers' association from another
Neither stands out as an advocate OF
immodest costuming 9 for American
women.
The difficult question is what is an
immodest gown? Mr. F'igg places
himself on record that a woman's skirt
should come below the waist. The
garment retailersc agree with the at
torney generals special assistant but
how far below the waist must a skirt
come to touch the boundary of i'm
modesty? Or, in other words, how
little ma va skirt drape below the
waist to abandon contact with the far
thest lying outposts of modesty?
The garment workers have produc-
ed skirts for autumn wear which stop
at the knee. Is that far enough below
the waist to satisfy Mr.. Special Assis-
tant Figg? He hesitates, merely fall
ing back upon his belief that wo-
mans skirt, for either fall or spring,
should come below the waist. Then
economic consideration shoulder mod
esty aside, perhaps a bit rudely.
Shall modesty as expressed in wom-
ems street costume give way to the
argument that women's garments
should be changed as little as possible
that the owners may get full service
from everything that they have?
Which shall get the decision, cur
traditional standards Of womanly
modesty or te flattened pocketbook.
And in either case what has the fed
eral governmeAt or any other govern
ment to do with it? Since when have
men become the Judge Of what is
modest in women's clothing? Or since
when have women paid any attention
to mems criticism of what they wear?
Still the problem is up for set
element, and the country will await
the final decision with interest.
