STATE HAPPENINGS
TOLD IN BRIEF
THE HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK IN
TENNESSEE PREPARED FOR
OUR BUSY READERS.
TO LENGTHEN SCHOOL TERMS
Rural Schools Have Average Term Of
1877 Days-Expect Seventy coun-
ties to Increase Session.

Nashville.-Tennessee rural schools
will have longer terms this year than
ever before, So counties having report
led to the state educational department
tplans for extending the number of days
school will be in session. Between
50 and 70 counties are expected to in.
crease the term.
The Sc counties in 1920-21 had an
average term Of 119 days. The aver
age last year was 1872 days and this
year the average will be 10 7days.
This increase is largely due to the
Increased state aid now given the sew
eral counties and the basis on which
this aid is apportioned. Under the
acts OF 1921 each county is required to
maintain term OF at least five months
before it can share in the state equal
izing fund. During the scholastic year
1920-21, before this law was effective,
the school term in IL counties was
less than 100 days. During the past
year 1t was less than 100 days in only
one county, and during the present
not one county will fall below this
minimum.
II is fast developing into a race be.
tween the smaller counties to see
which can get out of the minimum
To-day column. All OF the So counties
reported to date have succeeded in
getting out of this class and IL is ex-
pected that the remaining 40 will be
equally fortunate.

Skirts This Season
Will Be Much Shorter

All eyes in the dress manufacturing
field are now turned to Paris and what
Parls is about to say in regard to
styles for next spring. From the man
ufacturing standpoint the fall season
is about over. Most of the production
from now on and through November
viii be for the purpose of filling reor-
ders from retailers who bought light
ly earlier in the season. Leading man
nfacturers and designers are embark
ing on every steamer sailing for
France. Some of the earlier travel
ers have already left and the coming
week will see q great number on the
big ships in search of new ideas, new
si~lhouettes, new fabrics and new trim
mingB for the adornment Of the ladies
of the country after the SHOWS of
the winter of 1922 and 1923 will have
gone.
David N. Mosessohn, executive di-
rector of the Associated Dress Indus
tries of America, said recently that the
dress manufacturers now arriving in
Paris have open minds for new
thoughts in dress.
'"They realize that the new season
depends upon what they are able to
bring back in the way of STYLE" he
points out. Zone of the phases of the
situation which will receive their close
attention is the skirt length. The pres
ent fall season brought in the long
skirt, and since its inauguration and
presentation to the American women
there has been much publicity which
would indicate that the question of its
acceptance is still unsettled. From
Paris, too, there are whisperings that
the spring season will bring forth a
shorter skirt than prevails at the pres
eDt time.
'"There is no doubt that the real

ICrees and they broke camp at
once.
Two mounted policemen con-
trolled Sitting Bull and his
band of hostiles after they had
crossed the Canadian line fol-
lowing the Custer fight. Hun
'dreds of Mounted Policemen
died on the trail in the frozen
north in pursuit of criminals.
The Mounted Police have a ira
dition that their men never
quit hunting a criminal and
never forget a crime. But they
also tempered justice with mer-
CIV, and their archives contain
the records of hundreds of men
who were corrected in errors OF
Judgment or action, and were
directed toward right paths.
Comparatively they were few
in numbers, but they developed
enormous power that was exer-
cised for good. The old west
erners on the American side re-
member them with respect. LII
assense Fort Benton, Montana,
was once their headquarters,
for a Fort Benton merchandise
ing firm, I. G. Baker d Co,
acted as official p~aymasters OF
the police for the Canadian gov
ernment, and in the 70s their
saddles and much other equip
ment were made at Fort Ben
ton. The Northwest Mounted
Police always co-operated with
the authorities of the law on
the American side, and there
was little friction between
them.

THE BERTHA'S RETURN
Deep Collar Comes to
Add New Quaintness
to Long-Skirt Dresses
BY ANNETTE BRADSHAW

The deep bertha reappears in fash
IONS from time to time. For the past
few seasons everything has tended to-
ward the small collar of Peter Pan
type and the plain straight-across neck
line. Now the bertha is coming back
to be named new again.
The sleeveless mode makes the ber-
tina especially effective, for it can drop
down over the armhole to give a grace
full line. Two smart versions of the
bertha fashion are shown here, one
for afternoon and one for evening.
The afternoon mode, at the right, is
in toast brown crepe, which introduces
accordion pleating in its bertha and
panels. The panels drop from the
waistline at either side. while the frock
is girdled in bronze links strung to-
gether by q chain Of bronze and set
with amber stones.
Metallic lace is highly popular this
season. The green-blue taffeta evening
mode shown here is not unmindful Of
the fact, for it insets metallic lace in
the skirt and drops a deep f%lounce of
It to form a bertha over the shoulders.
The bertha, like the skirt, is shorter in
front than in the back.

.s.5 bscause she made it herself.

$50 because she made it herself.
A tea gown, also of her own design
and making, was a heavenly thing in
white chiffon wei yellow, the skirt
of the overdress bound in gold metal
braid and with a gold braid belt, in
which she looked like a Greclan god
dess.
Another heavenly tea gown which
she made up at lite expense was OF
shell pink charmause, with q deep band
of lace as the baae. Then with a little
more than a twoX yard remnant length
of white chiffonl embossed in white
velvet, she made b long trained jacket
by simply measuring the waist length
in the back, allowing for a low bloused
effect, drew the straight length Of the
goods over the shoulder. and caught
the top ends at both sides of the waist,
thus making sleeves, an extremely
classic thing complete.
Dolores never used ornaments on
dress or in hair. Somehow it would be
like putting rhinestone buckles on We
nus sandals if she did.
A stunning evening wrap. also of her
own designing, is made of gold and
black metal brocade. lined with apple
green satin, hanging in straight lines
and closing on the left shoulder. The
lining is extended to make the sleeves,
which are deep, but not long, n the
collar. made Of the goods, is monk
shaped.
A shell pink evening dress of chiffon
| which Dolores said was a so cent a
yard remnant, pre-war goods, had the
same simplicity of design, draped, but
totally without tinsel or bead.
Walking is Dolores health secret,
Her beauty secret is the sublime gift
of a generous Providence. AS she is
English, walking is and always has
been second nature to her. An obser-
walton she made on Partisan pulchri-
tude was that the French women do
nor walk well because they never put
on walking shoes. Just returned from
a trip abroad, she further observed
that the American women are much
better dressed than the Paris or Lon
don women. The American women
carry themselves more smartly and
wear clothes better. They put them
Oh and wear them as if they felt them.
There are more good looking women
in America than in England or France,
she says, bat for outstanding distine-
tive beauty the London woman stands
supreme.
Look at Gladys Cooper" she add
ed. "She is gorgeous; tall, with heav-
emily features. Blue eyes-O, amaz-
ingly beautiful"
IF there are any more at home
like Dolores" I said unhesitatingly,
we better get into the peace league
right away"

In the widest days of the
northwestern frontier the sight
of one Scarlet Rider aroused
more fear and respect in the
breasts of malefactors than q
hundred soldiers would have
done. That was because men,
bers Of the police could not be
bluffed. It was do OF die with
them. When General Sir Steele,
commander-in-chief of the Can

the war, was a sergeant in the
Mounted Police, a camp of hos

man, Sergeant Steele rode into
the camp, and while the Indians
were shooting and shouting de-
fiance, he rode to the lodge Of
the head chief and ordered him
to move on. The chief, with
defiant glare, refused to obey.
Steele dismounted, brushed by

least for several season. It is expect
ed, however. hat a skirt length, gen
orally acceptable to the women Of this
country, will be evolved az the pre-
dominating style for spring. 1t will
probably be shorter than the present
long skirt and longer than the extreme
skirt which marked the flapper of the
land for two or three seasons.
at is expected, too. that the
st~raightline silhouette will again rep
resent the leading style element in
dresses. AS long as women continue
to wear the straightline corset and
the girdle, form fitting dresses and
other outer garments will undoubted-
" remain relics Of the past. Then,
too, the straightline has met with al
most universal approval, which is an
