The NeweSt Skirts
May Be Any Width
but Are Always Long
By ANNETTE BRADSHAW

~ HETHER the smart WON
" an chooses % have her
suit skirt very long or
lust below her knees, we may be
sure she viii wear the skirt of her
evening dress long. It's undouot-
edly smarter, and she realizes the
feminine charm of the graceful
long skirt.
This applies whether the skirt
be wide or narrow, and there
seems to be an even division OF
favor. The sketch here illustrates
charming examples Of the VIDE
effect and Of the narrow, each
with a skirt that's long.
At the left, we see q brocaded
chiffon velvet frock in vSIi-colored
Persian inspiration. 1t is straight
and slim, but allows plenty OF
room for freedom in dancing by
way Of a pleated inset OF jade
chiffon that grsces the left side.
The roll girdle is of twisted jade
and silver, while silver grapes
drop temptingly down the side.
The other frock is a thing Of
loneliness in white chiffon velvet
and pale flesh chiffon The chiffon
insets are held in place by round
seed pearl motifs, and they meet
at the hem to make a skirt Of
ample width.

son better shooting could be secured.
A very interesting article was read
by the president on this, by the Anne
rlcan Game and Game Fish Protective
Association, in which it was clearly
brought out that to extend the sea-
son would be to probably interfere
with the wildfowl in their mating
time, and it has been demonstrated
IN the past that when the season eX-
tended to April Both, the wildfowl
were almost completely exterlSina-
ted, and every sportsman" will
agree that it is not sport to shoot
mating birds
The question of securing quail
from the Virginia Game Farm for
stocking local points was brought up
and the club decided to ask for as
large an amount as it could get for
this purpose.
Announcement was made of tour
now being conducted by Field And
Stream consisting of two complete
outfits for camping and showing mo-
ton pictures of the work accomplish
ed IN forest, fish and game conserva-
ton, 1t is the intention to cover by
automobile the entire United States
and any city having local club and
not too far removed from the propos-
ed route can by request secure the
services of the outfit, it was decided
to try and get one of the outfits to
visit our city in the near future and
show the pictures for the benefit OF

attention that no trout
were caught beore they were within
the legal length, it being thought
that up to this time the size of the
fish would protect them.
Announcement was made of re-
cent laws enacted in the state which
should be of interest to all anglers
1t is now unlawful to net or sell
bass in this state except on Back
Bay.
Non residents must secure a IL
cense costing $3.50 TO- fish in the
waters of Virginia, no license re-.
I,qlired as yet for residents, no ang-
Ter can take more than Is bass on
any one days fishing and can not
have more than 80 bass in their pos
session at any one time: These
laws are some of the ones The
alexandria Rod And Gun Club
have been working so hard in the
past few months to have passed
and the members are we'll pleased
to SEQ sthem 30 into effect 4as It
shows, that some Of the effort Of the
clgb has been lfelt and just as soon
as these laws have been in effect
for, q feEs years the same increase
in the rIunnber OF bass will be OBJ
served as was tie case when the
Fssfe of game was prohibited ,seve,
raj years ago.
Considerable discussion was in
dplged in regarding proposed
change in the sducking season, some
time ago it was thought that the sea-
son should be made from November
lath. to February 18th, instead of
from November LIST, to January 3lst.
as now in effect, the reason advanc-
led for this change by some was on ac-
Ecount of the large amount Of ducks

long it took men to invent this
weapon. 1t appears that the bow
and arrow was not used until more
than 100000 years after the inven-
ton of the stone pointed spear!
Therefore you can see how unlike
ly it is that any one man got the
whole idea of shooting an arrow by
the aid of a bow. The invention
must have been the result of the
thinking of many brains at many
times.
The first use of the bow and ar
row was one of the greatest steps

INVENTION OF THE BOW AND
ARROW

A Stone Age hunter crept quietly
toward two reindeer grazing short
distance froEa the clump of bushes
i'm which he had been hiding. Know
ING that the deer would flee az the
slightest, sound he took pains not
to step on anything which might
make q noise, He held MS stone
pointed spear in his right hand.
At last he was close enough. He
raised his arm to throw the spear
Just as he was about to let 60
the two deer (Which had either
heard or smelled him. suddenly tos-
sed up their heads and began seam
The hunter hurled his spear, US
ing all the power of his muscular
shoulders. 1t whizzed through the
air with terrific speed, flying true
toward its mark; but the deer had
started in the nick of time. The
shaft fell so that it Just grazed the
heels of the hindmost animal.
Once more this hunter had failed!
He did not lack strength or skill.
He was as good a man with the
spear as anyone in the tribe. The
trouble lay with the weapon. 1t
could not be thrown far enough for
the hunter to be confident of Staying
a deer or = bison or a wild horse.
At times ne was able to kill these
animals, but more often he failed.
Something had to be done. Men
needed and wanted a better weapon
than the spear.
Such weapon was invented. It
was bow and arrow.

common sense in their enforce

to do fairly well.
