London Views the
Fashion Show

London, July 17.-Observing the
fashion world go by from a bench on
London's "Rotten Row" one sees that
the seasons modes tend to more con-
servative skirts, higher waist lines,
picture hats yard wide and point ed
American shoes. The dressmaker's
intent seems to be to cover up what
was once uncovered. Ankle-length
skirts, voluminous sleeves, high neck
liEes and loose-ftting gowns that
subordinate the contour of the body,
seem destined to restore woman's
lost charm of mystery.
Most frocks are of the futtering,
flowing order which, caught by the
breeze, look very graceful. Foulards
are. taking the place of georgette and
erepes of laces. Hats are circled with
posies instead of being covered with
plumes. Parasols are of foulard with
wallpaper designs, or figures of green
parrots or love birds. Long, narrow
feet are the craze of the moment, and
Slender, high-heeled shoes of snake
skin are coming into vogue.
For evening attire backless frocks
with diamond or pearl supports are
popular with some women of fashion.
Many evening gowns are of a new
cloth Of silver or gold that resembles
molten metal and that shimmers and
glistens brilliantly under the electric
light. Trains are inclined to be short
er, and are usually Of gold or silver
net. The new transparent cloaks
which are being worn are trimmed
with white, grey and black monkey
fur.
Very little jewelry Is worn; only q
simple chain of jade or amber, or a
Chinese Mandarin's collar of teak
weed beads.

Oxford Universiy
Now Admits Women

London, July 17.-Oxford Univey-
sity now. admits women freely to its
degrees and to @,univeIsit member.
ship, but Cambridge still locks its
doors against them. Naturally the
women don't feel bit grateful for
such glimpses. They want the doors
unlocked.
The women from the Cambridge
Colleges of Newnham and Girton
have demanded admission to degrees
and University membership on the
same terms as men. Not long ago
1900 of them signed a petition to
this effect. The reply given by the
university was polite. but unsatiss
factory.
Within the last two years Cam
bridge has voted and countervoted
on various proposals to admit women
The only proposal which it has ac-
tually carried---and to this practical
effect has not yet been given---is that
women who are qualified for degree
status may obtain titles of degrees
but not real degrees.
In making this half hearted offer
Cambridge is proposing to treat wo.
men just as it formerly treated Jews
and Nonconformists, whom 1t also
tried to satisfy with the titular de-
gree until Parliament stepped in and
Compelled the University to abolish
its determinations of creed.
Now women want Parliament to
intervene and compel Cambridge to
abolish its discrimination against
their sex. And signs are not lack.
ing that Cambridge itself Is begin
ming to see that it will not pay to
keep the women knocking at their
doors much longer.
A deputation consisting Of several
members of Parliament, the heads OF
Girton and Newnham Colleges anG
other friends Of the movement recent.
ly talked with Mr.. Fisher, Minister
of Education. The Minister made il
quite plain that. he was on the side OF
the women and would do all he coulC
to persuade Cambridge to open its
doors to them. Parliament also was
undoubtedly on their side. Cam.
bridge was looking for a grant from
the Exchequer, he said, but it was not
llikely Parliament would vote it while
cambridge continued to exclude wo.
men. If Cambridge found that by
keeping women out the needed money
also would be kept out she wou!d
probably quickly decide to let them In
it might not therefore become neces;
sary to employ legislative pressure to
force her to open her doors.

C.pnilcrlon:

Gentlemen:
l find pleasure in adding Voc.
expressive of my interest in a Aerial
Transport, and in the presentation of
(! e subject which is being made by the
s:efJnautical Chamber of Commerce.
The history of civilization is largely
the history of communication. Each
stage of progress seems to demand
and develop improved means of trans.
port. The steamship, the railroad and
the motor car have been devised arc
utilized. Now we enter a new D ,ast.
1t is real distinction to Ameri,a !.
be known as the birthplace of tn, air
plane; it should be our concern IA,
this act shall not languish, but ia,
IN It's practical application we chai'
lead the world. An amazing dey ,iop
ment will take place in the near f,.tur,
in the utilization Of the air as q ,nedi
rm of transport and communication
hs government, We are aiming t
provide this art with necessary ga.
antee of law, and with such fac; +,
as may be possible through the el,
couragement of airways and ton.
nails. But for air transport qu'cn
to achieve the important place t !.
destined to occupy, it must have pub
lie interest and support. I hope you,
efforts in this behalf may be proiuc
tive of most gratifying results.
Very truly yours,
Warren G.. Harding.

Boxing Season has Been Poor

LcnGon, July 1.-THE English
bJNing season is usually considered
ended by Derby Day. This year it
has been poor. The shortage of
competent performers in the three
heavier divisions was never so
marked as it is today" says an Eng
lish sporting writer, "and among the
little men there is hardly anybody
with real punch. Manifest sue
cessors to jim Driscoll and Jimmy
Wilde, who in all probability will
not be seen again in a serious con-
test, are yet to be discovered"

the remainder of the year. During
the rainy season it flows inland with
depth sufficient to float steamers,
During dry weather it flows outward,

New Petroleum, Law
Viewed With Favor

Caracas, July 17.-The oil industry
is4 greatly interested in the passage
by the Venezuelan congress of new
petroleum law which is said to be
more favorable than any previous
similar law of this country, and to
afford more workable conditions than
any Latin-American law governing
petroleum development.
Concessions for exploration are Sc
cured from the government in zones
'of 10000 hectares each, for a period
sof, three years Sand for the payment
of two cents per hectare as a tax.
Within this perion the contractor has
the right to select up to one-half of
each zone for exploitation. There is
practically no limit to the amount of
acreage allowed to one contractor, al
though there is nominal limit Of
100000 hectares for exploration and
one-half this amount for exploitation.
A bove these amounts the financial
ability of the purchaser governs.
The exploitation period is 40 years
instead of 80 years as formerly. An
initial tax of two bolivars per hectare
or l6 cents per acre is payable at
the beginning of the exploitation
period, and annual rentals of two bo-
livars per hectare are collected for
the first three years, four bolivars
per hectare for the succeeding 27
years and five bolivars per hectare
for the remaining 10 years of exploit
tation.
Formerly the contractor was
obliged to select his quota of acreage
in parcels of 200 hectares each, in
cheekerboard fashion, leaving an
equal area as national reserve.
under>the new law the parcels are of
800 hectares or 1926 acres each and
these may be grouped as desired.
The government receives 10 per-
cent royalty except in areas 200 or
more kilometers distant from the sea
or from Lake Maracaibo,, or in the
areas south of the! Andes, the produc-
tion from which pays only seven and
one-half percent royalty. In similar
areas taxes are reduced to one-half
- In former laws the contractor was
obliged to deposit guarantee
amounting to as much as 81 per hec-
tare to insure compliance with the
terms, of his contract, but no. such
guarantees are now required.
Former contracts may be adapted
to the new law simply by announce
ment of the fact to,the Ministry of
Fomento. 1t is probable that most
OF the companies and individuals now
holding such former contracts will
choose to operate under the new and
more favorable code
1t was tthe intention of the Ven
ezuelan authorities to create law
that would be practical and sufficient
ly attractive to stimulate the devel-
opment of this important branch of
the national resources. That they
have succeeded is evidenced by the
interest being shown not only by the
oil companies already operating, but
by the increasing number of rep
resentatives of petroleum interests
now investigating conditions in this
country.

MARCUS MAYER AND FAMILY
 OF SEATTLE IN SKAGWAY

Mir. and Mrs Mayer and son Mar GUS, Jr., are in the city among the excursionists. Skagway is familiar ground to Mir. Mayer, who made his first trip to the city when it was nothing but an extension of the beach, just beginning to be settled with tents. Next month will bring around the twenty fifth anniversary of his first visit.
 Mir. Mayer is of the firm of Mayer Brothers, Jewellers, Seattle, and pro- bably is the originator of nugget jewelry for the north. He has many experiences to relate of the early days of the camp when men carried packs, or made two week-carts just wide enough for the trail, since any conveyance was in demand for the transportation of goods toward the Summit.
