The House Military Affairs Com
mittee today weighed testimony Of
Col. Hugh L. Cooper. Governments
consulting engineer and designer
of Muscle Shoals, Ala. that the
Government and not Henry Ford.
should develop the great power
project.
Further hearing on Ford's offer
to lease the property from the Gov
eminent, was postponed by Chair
man Kahn until Monday to give
the committee members opportun-
ity to assimilate fully testimony
which some Of them characterized
as shooting holes" in the Ford
offer.
The extent Of the development
project at Muscle Shoals was
brought closer to the committee by
Cooper's testimony and there was a
disposition today to demand that
the committee Join the Senate Ag-
riculture Committee in making q
personal inspection.
Cooper, though protesting that he
appeared before the committee
neither to urge acceptance nor re-
lection of the Ford bid. was re-
garded by some committee members
as being hostile to Congressional
approval OF the Detroit mans pro-
posal.

A reader of our FIRST article
has asked ne to apply the
principle Of our Art in Dres;
to the specific fashion prob
lens of today, especially TO
skirt length and waist line.
Is it not a sign Of the times
that serious minded men
educators and preachers
should consider these CUES
tions in the light of a great
social problem affecting our
moral destiny4
But the woman who realizes
that her only problem Is TO
find outer expression for In
ner beauty will not be misled
by any fashion decree. II Is
true that as q general fact de-
signers plan for shorter skirts
one season and for longer
skirts another season; but
this does not justify the swing
of the pendulum from fifteen
inches in one case TO one ineI
In another case.
Assuming that there IS q
vogue for a shorter skirt, and
that common sense has ap-
proved the general principle,
then the simple problem is to
determine in each instance
whether six inches, eight
inches or twelve inches above
the ground would be mos
suitable for the individus
figure. A stout woman andi
short skirt is excellent IA
terisi for caricature. Let us
clearly remember that ths
purpose Of the longer skirts
TO add length 70 the hgrfe'
and if that aim is justihed 70
any individual case then the
longer skirt should be chosen
Fundamentally, the question
of skirt length is a question
of the line Of the hgure
rather than of length. Con
