LONGER SKIRTS CERTAIN.
GAY Embroideries and Striking Color
Schemes.

Chicago, September 15.-Gay
embroideries on dark frocks,
lacy effects for evening wear
and striking color combinations
with skirts down to ten inches
from the ground, will be characteris-
tic of winter styles for women, ac-
cording to the Fashion Art League
of America. Gowns will be fashioned
after the lines of the figure, but not
form-fitting, the league announced.
Sleeves will be tight from shoulder to
elbow, with a decided flare below.
The newstyles will be displayed at
the annual convention of the league
next week.
''The day of following fashions like
a flock of sheep is over" ALA Ripley,
president of the league, said: "Wom-
en- in America are women of affairs,
and our fashions must appeal to the
conservative taste, contrary to the
edicts of Paris, which demand that
costumes be created for the actress
and demimonde.

Dog Actors Barred From Beaches.

Chicago.-Volunteer dog actors
which frequent Chicago bathing dur
ing the summer have been banned by
police at one north side beach be-
cause the crowds they collect along
fashionable Lake Shore Drive db-
struct traffic.
A half dozen dogs spend most of
their time during the summer months
at the beach, ready to dive, chase
sticks and catch balls thrown by any
one who will stop to play with them.
Chief of the canine entertainers is
Dixie, pedigreed Airdale with the
temperament of prima donna, his
own set of stage, or rather bench
properties and a list OF tricks which
cause scores to line the shore, walk
any time he consents to perform,
which is usually from morning until
late in the evening.
Dixie likes to attract attention, and
he has his own method of collecting
a crowd. He brings with him to the
beach two sticks, each about foot
long, and a cork ball the size of a
baseball. Selecting prospective as
sistant for his act, Dixie offers either
the sticks or the ball to be thrown
into the lake.
Retrieving the prize, the Airdale ig-
nores his first friend and stops>a new
passerby, repeating the process until
a large crowd is collected. He rarely
offers stocks or ball to the same per-
son twice in succession, depending on
his impartiality to keep the greatest
number of people interested.
The dog has perfected his act until
he is able to catch a ball thrown to
him from a distance of fifty feet or
more and to snap fly balls without let
ting them touch the ground.

NO SOLICITING OF FUNDS.
Rescue Home Commander Says 1t
Means Closing.

Ofangeburg, Sept. 15.-Mayor Liv-
ingston has issued an order prohibit
ing the public soliciting of funds for
the American Rescue Home here. The
order, states the mayor, was based on
affidavits charging immoral practices
at the home. The commander of the
home, Major W. L. Griggs, told the
mayor his order means the closing of
the home. However, it is still open.
Major Griggs denies immoral prac-
tices at the home and defends its op-
Grafton. He exhibited petition sign
ed by several hundred citizens, many
of whom are influential and promi-
nent, protesting against any action
which might tend to hinder the op-
Grafton of the home. The petition
also states that the home has accomp-
lished much good in the community.
The petition is addressed to the city
council, but has not as yet been Off
cially presented to that body.
The local home is said to be a
branch of the American Rescue
Workers of America. 1t has been in
operation here for the past six years.

LUTHER TO MAJORS.
Former Carlisle Boy Signs With Chi
cago White SoX.

1t will be of interest to fans
throughout the entire state to know
that Punk" Luther, star Newberry
college moundsman, who has pitched
stellar ball for Sumter this season,
has been signed by scout for the
Chicago White SoX team and that he
will report to them after the compile
tion of his college course next June.
For the past two seasons Luther has
been regarded as the best college
pitcher in the state and it was ru-
mored some time ago that several
other big league teams were after
him. Luther has all pitcher needs,
speed, a sharp fast breaking curve
and a change of pace. In addition
he has splendid control. His career
in the big circle will be followed
with interest by his many friends
and admirers throughout the state,
who confidently believe that he will
stick and become a star.-The State.

"Well, he tore into the job this
morning only about fifteen minutes

noon, or, to be absolutely accurate,
twenty minutes short of it, replied
Farmer Field; Except, Of course,
stopping now and then to scratch
himself or tell a funny story, and
once to have an argument with an
oldest inhabitant about the weather
back in 1879, and occasionally to get
a drink of water or yawn or take a
chew of tobacco or look off across
the scenery, and one time to snow a
little boy how to work puzzle. and
afterward to explain the League Of
Nations to an innocent bystander.

TRAFFIC STOOD STILL.
Man Forgot Clothes in Turkish Bath
and New York Was Startled.

Traffic at the Brooklyn end Of the
Manhattan bridge came to an absolute
standstill during the rush hours this
morning when the ''absent-minded
professor" of movie and comic page
fame came to life, says New York
dispatch.
Frank Bye, of the traffic squad was
swinging the 'stop' and "go" sema-
phore at the entrance to the bridge
when he noticed crowd coming
down Nassau street, He halted mo-
tor traffic to let the pedestrians cross
the plaza when he found himself the
center of a swirling mob.
Somewhat to the front of the
crowd he spied Albert Hackerman
walking briskly as if to work, but
without stitch of clothing on his
back.
Bye made dive at the nude figure
and wrapped his coat about it, showed
it into the police booth nearby.
"Where are your clothes?" the po-
.liceman demanded.
ION my back, where do you
Think" Hackerman replied.
''No, they are not; you're stark
naked"
''Well, 1 had them on moment
ago."
The policeman, puzzled, looked
closely on the modern Adam before
him and noticed the body shone as if
freshly scrubbed. When Bye asked
Hackerman whether he had taken a
bath he replied he had, and mention
ed a Turkish bath about quarter of
a mile away.
81 lay down for a while after the
BATH" he added. ''Then got up and
started for work"
In the shelter of an ambulance
from the Cumberland street hospital
Hackerman was taken to the baths,
where his clothing was found.

How, Fast Do Birds Fly?

The speed of birds has been much
exaggerated, we are told by an edi-
torial writer in The Scientific Ameri-
can (New York; Every one, he says,
who has watched the flight of the
swifter birds has made his own esti-
mate. The speed attained by the
carrier-pigeon, the duck, and the
4 faster of the sea-birds has formed
the subject of endless guesswork.
Birds incapable of doing more than
40 to so miles an hour have been
credited with 100 and over. He con-
tinues:
1--WE remember reading somewhere
the serious statement by man, who
was both naturalist and huntsman,
that when he was lying in wait for
ducks he had seen more than once
flock of geese pass overhead across a
certain measured stretch of landscape
that must have been going at least
1G0 miles an hour.
'eNew the fact of the matter is that
nothing is moredificult than to judge
<of the speed of any object through
the air by mere human observation.
Foreshortening due to perspective
alone renders it impossible to tell
just when a moving object passes
above some fixt point on the ground,
and almost invaria bly, the estimated
speed is far beyond the actual. At
the present time the highest well-au-
~thenticated speed in that of homing-
pigeons, some of which have reached
a speed of so miles an hour.
"But now comes Col. R. Meinerz-
hagen, noted ornithologist in Great
Britain, who has recently published
some data on this subject in The Ibis.
which is the leading English journal
devoted to bird life. The Colonel
states that during his antiaircraft
duties in the course of the war, he
trained his men in instrumental
work by making them take observa
tion of the flight of birds. These he
collected and then confirmed their re-
suits by instrumental work himself.
He tells US that the speed of birds,
as thus accurately ascertained, is far
below what it is popularity believed
to be, varying from 20 to 40 miles
for the smaller Passers to from 40 to
SO miles an hour in the case of wad-
ers. Those speeds represent steady
flight: but when a bird is frightened
by an enemy, or when it is pouncing
upon it's prey, 1t can accelerate great
ly for a limited time. He estimates
that for short distance the swift
can reach a speed Of 100 miles an
hour.
''The airplane, therefore, has great
ly surpassed the swiftness of the birds
both in it's power Of sustained speed
and in it's maximum speed. From 100
to 120 miles an hour can be maintain
ed by many Of the standard machines
and we know that last year the rae
ing speed was carried up to from $50
to 100 miles an hour.
Where the birds still greatly sur
pass the human flying machines is in
the matter of taking off and alighting.
The sea-birds, and all birds, in fact,
by changing the angle Of incidence of
their wings, are able to reduce their
landing speed at rate which the air.

proach."
