Army Fliers Eager to Bomb Warships

A RMY aviators are eager to fight a
n real duel with the navy. While
admirals and generals have been ad-
vancing and disputing claims that the
airplane is far superior to the battle
ship as a war weapon, army pilots
have flooded the office of the air serv-
Ice director with pleas that the mat
ter be settled under real war condi-
lions.
They have been all wrought up since
Josephus Daniels, then secretary of
the navy, offered to stand bareheaded
on deck of a battleship and let
Brigadier General Mitchell, head Of
the air service in the war, take a
crack at him with bombing airplane.
Lieut.. G. G. Moseley, victorious pilot
in the recent airplane race at Mineola
field for the Pulitzer trophy, would be
"tickled pink" at the opportunity Of
real fight with the navy gunners.

Honoring the Soldier Unknown Dead

in the World war, have lately done
honor to the unknown dead of their
armies by placing with fitting cere
mOny the body of an unknown, uniden-
titled soldier, respectively in West
minister Abbey and in the Arc de Tri-
Omphe; and
Whereas, animated by the same
spirit of comradeshlp in which we of
the American forces fought alongside
these allies, we desire to add whatever
we can to the imperishable glory won
by the deeds of our allies and com
memorated in part by this tribute to-
their unknown dead: Now, therefore,
"Be it enacted, etc, That the Presi-
dent of the United States be, and he
hereby is, authorized to bestow with
appropriate ceremonies, military and
civil, the congressional medal of hon
or upon the unknown, unidentified
British soldier buried in Westminster
Abbey, London, England, and upon the
unknown, unidentified French soldier
buried in the Arc de Triomphe, Paris,
France"
1t aow seems likely that we are to
have the same sort of a ceremony
here in AmeriCa-that an unknown
American soldiers body will be brought
home from France and buried at Ar
lington,. or possibly even in the capitol.

No u. S. Rights Have Been Surrendered

When the time comes, it was de-
clared, the United States will be found
demanding: Recognition of right to
a cable base on the Island of zap, a
right now being contested by Japan
which has the mandate over zap.
The right to oil privileges in MesO,
pOtamia extended to nations affiliated
with the League of Nations, a right
contested by Great Britain.
The spokesman for the adminstra-
ton today said 1t would not be the
policy of the administration TO he at
all fiamboyant or bOastful or belliger-
ent in the handling of foreign prob
lens growing out of the war and sub
sequent treaty negotiations. But this
much he made plain: The rights of
the United States in world affairs ex-
list today right here just as they ex-
listed on the day of the armistice.
No one has surrendered any of these
rights; no one had any authority to
surrender such rights.
The rights of the United States could
be altered or curtailed only through
treaty properly negotiated and rati-
fed; so far as the United States is
concerned there is no such treaty.

TINE directoire, late eighteenth
Il century and certain Spanish in
1luences in the styles, are all disput-
ing the claims of the straight-line or
chemiSe DRESS to pre-eminenCe. The
best American and French creators of
costumes appreciate the adaptablity
OF tatfetas and organizes, to bOuffant
skirts, and the charm of a flavor of
quaintneSs in the silhouette that is too
attractive to be ignored. Therefore,
in the passing show of spring styles,
among those present, and present in
considerable numbers, there are such
sprightly dresses as are pictured here.
The frOCk at the left includes a
tunic among its assets, over a much
narrower .underSkirt-a plain and in
conspicuous affair that plays only a
small part in the composition of the
dress. The tunic and bodice divide
honors in points of interest BY means
of cords about the hips and at the
bottom the tunic achieves a hoop-skirt
effect, and it is decorated with flat
puffS of the taffeta. The peasant
waist also employs these puffs as a

TEMPLES IN DEEP JUNGLES
Seem to Have Been Forgotten
by Father Time.

In the heart of the jungle in Bur-
ma, where the tiger and the lizard
keep guard, and herds of wild ele-
plants roam smashing through the
underground you sometimes come
upon sights that make you doubt you
are on earth. You may break through
cordons of vine and thorn and STUN
BILE upon crumbling temples, ancient
of days, so ancient-as time goes in
the moist tropics-that neighboring
villagers cannot tell you who built
them there nor when. Some are vege-
tatiOn-covered heaps of rounded
bricks; some preserve the changeless
traditional form; bell-shaped, with
lofty pinnacle surm0unting basal
tower-tottering, but untumbled. No
trace of road may lead to them, no
remains of old villages nearby.
"Old, unhappy, far-off things, and
battles long ago" may have devastated
their sites and driven their people
like chaff before the storm. Once
their spires were surmounted by gilt
tering caps of purest gold; their cor
ners watched over by idols of jeweled
eyes and awesome mien; carving re-
lieved their snow-white slopes-nOw,

Around one o'clock that afternoon,
black gowned and heavily yelled, she
parked her sedan far down the lire,

TT SEEMS that this spring has fav-
n ored us with a greater wealth Of
beautiful millinery than can be re-
called for many years. SO many new
materials have been added to those
that have been long established as be-
longing to headWear, that there is an
amending variety in the displays: lines
are graceful colors pleasing. One
makes little journey in quest of
new hats with a disposition to buy
more than are needed, for they are as
alluring as fairy tales that never
grow tiresome, with new and unex-
pected chapters added to those we are
already devoted to. 1t is consoling to
reflect that prices are not quite so high
as they were year ago-but they are
still high enough, and this is no fairy
tale. Materials and other costs Of
production have not yet reached a
pre-war level, but they are settling.
In the meantime whatever else fate
may deny her, every woman is en-
titled to new spring hat. She will
find among the displays a few at least
and perhaps many, that enhance her
good looks, for there are shapes sor
every face and type and colors that
are sdbtly flattering. 1t is worth while
to look carefully FOR them.
A group of summer hats Is shown
here in shapes that have proved very
generally becoming. At the top a

A Loving Cup
BY MARTHA M. WILLIAMS


Mrs. Gleason sat down with bang
Few women are equal to that, but she

Whatever she did gave an impression
of noise and fnality. Her husband
was certainly of those classed as
ciphers on the wrong side of signif-
cant figures.
She was tired-dead tired-yet sat
bolt upright, going on with the knit
ting that had occupied her fingers
while she made the tour of orchard
garden and barnyard. She had found
them, each and several, deserted. That
was sufficiently aggravating, but not
quite the worst The Benton boy had
fetched a scrawl from. her absent hus-
band: Caught on jury-dunno when
I'll be home" Considering that it
was mid-October and fine suEshiny
weather, with slue of hard work ac-
cumulating, it is plain the lady had
reason to be angry.
Now, to be very angry and have
nobody to quarrel with, breeds a par
lous state of mind. Had Jimmy Rand
known the situation he would have
realized the fact and waited. Instead
he burst in, the incarnation Of happy
love, crying joyeusly: Miss Sue, Nan
says Yes, and Granny says Yes-now

know good old Pete don't count"

pany of an equally classy veil, having
irregular dots scattered over a fine,
but open mesh. Just below it at the
left lovely leghorn effaces its upper
brim and crown in favor of strips Of

ing over the brim's edge. 1t is a model
that speaks the language of youth. At

straw with embroidered flowers
strewn over it, and a wide ribbon
drops over the top and sides. At the
left a brilliant hat OF satin and
highly lustrous braid suggests o
coronet and is a stately affair suited
to many ages. Crepe de chine and
ribbon make the elegant hat that
comes last in the group, although 1t Is
the brightest star in this galaxy. The
faille ribbon so cleverly used to form
the brim is in darker color than the
crepe de chine crown. A very hand

WASHINGTON.-No American rights
w have been surrendered because of
the war and none of them will be
surrendered. This tersely expresses
the basis of the Harding foreign policy
as outlined today by an authoritative
official of the new administration.
Although no positive assertion was
made, 1t was clearly indicated that at
the proper time the United States
would have an influential spokesman
to present its cause before the league
and to stand rigidly for Americas
claim that it aided to bring about the
victory over Germany and will not sur
render any American rights protected
by that victory.

PETT|COAT RULE
PROVES SUCCESS
IN WYOMING CITY
CBy Associated Press).


Jackson, Wyo., June jackson, af-
ter a years trial of petticoat govern
ment, has found it good. Half CEN
fury ago the first jury of women to
be impaneled in the United estates
was drawn in Wyoming and twenty
years later Wyoming insisted, and
won its point, that it be admitted to
the Union without one single change
in its constitutional provision giving
women equal suffrage rights with
men. Since then the feminist move
ment has developed astoundingly.
And so, when the votes were counted
at Jackson Tuesday night, they show
ed the following results:
For mayor, Mrs. Grace Miller, 81;
L. W. Spicer, 81.
For councilmen: Mrs, Genevieve
Van Veleck, 81; G. R. Blaine, 10; Mrs
Faustina Hainght, sc; Almer Nelson,
IS.
Just a year ago this picturesque
little western town, with a population
of 526 by the latest census, nesting
beneath the beetling peaks of the
Giant Tetons in the heart of the fam
ed Jackson's Hole country, startled
the nation by turning out its man
made administration and installing a
town government made up entirely of
women. The victory was all the more
notable because of the fact that Mrs
Rose Grabtree had been elected to the
town council over her own husband.
Evidently the women Of Jackson had
decided to spoil the towns glamor-
Gus reputation as the rendezvous for
bad, bold, two-gun desperadoes.
The exact issue in the campaign a
year ago is a matter for argument
but whatever it was the women won
decisively. This year it was the same
thing over, three to one landslide.
During their years tenure. the five
women of the towns administration
to keep Jackson clean, NOR
ally and physically and in addition
they brought about a number of mu-
nicipal improvements. They trans
formed what used to be country lanes
into city streets; they acquired site
for a cemetery to take the place of
the old, familiar burying ground; and
they are now working on a plan for
a modern, adequate water system to
replace the present system of irri-
eating bitches fed by nearby Cache
creek.

symptoms of a desire to become the
seat of government:
THE Titusville Star-Advocate

make a new city there, selling lots
for enough money to build the state
house. Our idea has always been that
Baldwin was the logical place for the

it suits us"
