GIRLS FEET MOST POPULAR
Chaplain Of Senate Gives Views In
Dress Reform Movement

Girls feet are more popular than
their faces, these days, no matter how
attractive the latter are"
This failing down in the regard
of men" is lamented by the Rev. Thomas
w. Davis, chaplain Of the State Senate,
in his answer to the letter sent to
clergymen of the city by the dress re-
form committee. with headquarters at
800 Widcner Building.
DIR. Davis had some other things to
say about the feet of the fair sex. He
has no objection to silk stockings, he
declared. but
"It's the showing of them that
hurts"
DR.. Davis is strict on waist and
skirt dimensions. allowing one inch be-
low the neck in the rear and two inches
in front for waists and six inches above
the ground for skirts. Sleeves should
be required on evening gowns. Form
disclosing, tight gowns, according to
Mr.. Davis, "detract from the natural. :"
As for "peek u boo" waists. his only
answer is. "Our mothers did well with
out them
As to smoking by women. Mr.. Davis
says:
Feminine smoking is the immediate
result of associates who are loose in
their habits, persons who have thrown
all their home taught laws to the wind.

must be few. have slipped far away from
the type Of mothers who rocked the

MENTIONED AS CARDINAL
Pope May Honor Archbishop Dough-
erty, Rome Dispatches Indicate

Dispatches from Rome indicate the
selection of Archbishop Dennis j..
Dougherty. head of the archdiocese Of
Philadelphia, as the choice of Pope
Benedict for the Office of cardinal.
There is likelihood the consistory
in Rome will meet this month to make
the appointment. If the session is not
held before the end OF January. the
appointment will be deferred until May.
Archbishop Dougherty is at this time
in Cuba. and because it is necessary
for the recipient Of the cardinals honor
to be present when the choice is made
it will be necessary for him to sail
direct from Cuba to Rome, should his
selection be determined upon and the
session of the consistory be held late
this month.
1t is understood the pope has decided
the United States shall have four car
dinals hereafter. and that Archbishop
Dougherty and Archbishop Mundelein,
of Chicago, are the most likely candi-
dates. There is vacancy caused by the
death of Cardinal Farley. of New York,
but the elevation of Archbishop Hayes,
of New York. is regarded as uncertain
because of the short time he has been
an archbishop.

VAUGHAN MANAGER

Calls Horse Show Ban on Stable

SAYS HE EARNED PRAISE

Petty jealousy was hintcd at today
by Patrick OCOnncll. manager of the
Broad Lawn stables, as the reason for
the disqualification of the Vauclain
horses by the Association of New York
Horse Shows.
Much comment has been aroused by
the action of the New York body, as it
is the most drastic move made In re.
cent years against any exhibitor and
carries with it the stigma of poor
sportsmanship. By the ruling of the as =
sociation all Of the horses now in the
large stables at RoscmOnt are forbid =
den to participate in any shows given
under the auspices Of that body for q
period Of one year. and O'Conncll was

old hackney pony. Mysterious, as Little
Fire Lady in four year old class OF

to petty jealousy at the success of our
horses. When our pony was entered
knew of no rules that prevented Il
two year-old from competing with
four year Olds. As to the two names
used, the pony is registered under botl
names; we were not trying to conceal
the little mares identity.
| "It is my opinion that the Broat
Lawn Stables should have been praised
for the showing of the pony in a class
of much older animals. There were
many discrepancies in the case of Other
entries in the same show, and it is very
peculiar that Mr.. Nauclain was singled
out for punishment"
O'Connell said he hoped it would b'
possible to take legal action against thu
association. as that would be the Onl,
manner of countcring the body's ruling
