Country people who get to
the big cities are amazed at
the shortness of women's
dresses. Many seem to CON
slider IL indicate, even vulgar.
In reality. however. those
short dresses are exceedingly
sanitary. vastly more than the
long sweeping ones our moth
ers used to wear. II is the state
of the mind and not the length
of a dress that breeds indeli-
cacy and vulgarity. The hu-
man race would be in much
better condition if the dresses
of our women were even short
er than they now are. Free
dom of movement means bet
ter health and greater
and vitality, and
without these humanity would
soon cease to be.

Just Resting.

and wants a rest. He wants 10

That about represents the
business situation today.
II has been moving at a wild

Der of years, and now the per-
iod of relaxation is at hand.
II is resting. and sizing up
the situation before il begins
another gallop.
We have much the same
thing at every presidential
election.
As the time approaches for
the incumbent TO retire from
office business interests begin
to wonder what the new man
will be---WHAT HE WILL DO.
Capital always has an eye open
for breakers ahead. II never
goes blindly onto the rocks of
uncertainty.
After the new president has
been inaugurated. and uncer-
tainties begin to crystalize into
something definite, business
will be able to make a fairly
accurate survey and determine
just what line of action il is adj
visable 10 take.
That, in all likelihood. will
mark the beginning of the end
of our period of commercial
rest.
Now idle wheels will spin
again. Men will return to
their occupation, and the bust
ness world will soon be at nor
NAL again.
We see nothing in the pres
ent situation TO occasion alarm
We see every indication of
an early return to activity.
Let us husband our strength
and our resources and await
with confident patience the day
when the tide begins to turn.
We will not have to wait.

rapidly depriving the people

is depriving his body of that

CAT SCORED USUAL VICTORY

Feather in the Cap of the Ever.

There is an enchanting story told by

Japan of nine centuries past, Of the
emperors favorite cat herself a
spoiled beauty. She had received a
cap of honor and had been raised to
the third rank Of nobility, with the
title of WiyObu-no-Ototo, or Chief Of
the Female Attendants and was a
cat Of many graCes. Unfortunately,
on a day Of disobedienCe, her lady-in-
waiting summoned the emperor's dog,
Okinamaru, to startle her into good be-
havior. he barked obediently, and
the cat dashed madly behind the
screen, where his majesty sat at break
fast, and sought refuge In his arms.
The emperor much shocked, sent for
the lord high chamberlain, and pro-
nounced sentence on poor Okinamaru.

He was now an outcast on dog island,
"and none so poor TO do him rever-

life easier without the hollyhocks, but
it is interesting to see that the eternal
cat is victorious as ever. The dog is
vanquished the lady-in-waiting ruined,
and the cat lies in the emperor's lap
and purrs. So was it always; so will
1t ever be, writes L. Adams Beck in

Curious Notion Held by Spanish Mon

Charles V, king of Spain and emperor

his life he conceived the curious idea
of rehearsing his own funeral, not be-
cause he wished to have the event 90
off without a hitch when the time
should come, but because he thought
the performance of the ceremony
would rebound 10 the credit and WELL
being of his soul in the after-world.
His friends sought to dissuade him,
but, deeming 1t a holy act, the ruler
went ahead with his preparations. A
catafalque was erected and the serv-
ice performed The high altar, the
catafalque, and the entire church
shone with wax lights; the friars were
al in their proper places and the
household Of the emperor attended in
deep mourning THE pious monarch
himself was there, attired in sable

and gave his taper to the officiating
priest as a symbol Of his desire TO
yield up his soul. Not only once, but
for many years, until he finally died
in 1853, Charles V performed this
strange ceremony annually.
