FUN AND FASHIONS

There is phase of the convention of the Fashion Art League of Amer ica, being held at Chicago, that is of real importance. Well dressed Amer tcan women no longer find it neces- sary to go abroad in quest of the latest modes" declares the president of the league. This is of great importance, not only to the fashion artistry of America, but to the American textile industry"
 This. indeed. would be satisfactory If it were true. and every honest ef- fort of the league, or other body, to make it so is worth while. But it is feared that as yet this situation does not exist, and that women are still looking to Europe for styles and perfection in the art of costuming. It Nill be an achievement indeed when

they have been committed in the past. Strikers, therefore. should be restrain ed from such acts and unions should be restrained from encouraging or tn- spring them, If 1t Is shown they have done 50. It would seem to be per- tinent issue, in regard to restraining acts of union officials, to show whether or not they have been guilty of such inspiring or such encouragement. Thus far, in reading the events and charges of the afidavits submitted by the government, but one case of vio- lence on the part of an official of the shopmen's union has been noted, and 1t Is doubtful If this act was to be taken as being performed in his of- ficial capacity or as part of conspir- acy fostered by him as an official.
 No mistake should be made. The most energetic action should be taken to stop organized violence-to stop all violence. That part of the injunction which will do this should be upheld and enforced strictly The point at issue now, however, is whether or not there exists a conspiracy to disorgan- ize transportation through violence, and the affldavits, secondary evidence in many cases 1t is alleged, and indi- rect evidence it Is admitted, are being introduced in evidence to show that conspiracy. It will not be until after this evidence being introduced by the government is all in that a decision as to a modification of the injunction, If it is granted, will be made or the motion to grant any permanent in- junction at all is granted or refused. Meanwhile, it is repeated, it is inn portant for sympathizers with labor as we'll as those whose interest tends in the other direction, to note the ev1. dence that Is being presented.

sH1RTsLEEvEs AND THEATERs


 Good manners make life just a bi more pleasant for people who enjo! decency. A world made up of people who tried to keep as clean as possible would be more peasant world to live ill than one wherein the people made no attempt at cleanliness A world in which people tried not to bunny into others on the street, or step or their toes, would be a more pleasant world than one wherein everybody walked just as he or she pleased, re- gardless of toes and other accessorie. belonging to other people.
 A vast majority Of the people of the world like decency and decorum. The, like to have pleasant things about them. to see pleasant sights. Certain conventions have been adopted as tending to make the world pleasanter Certain people laugh at these conven- tions and do not follow them. Occa- sionally they offend others by making themselves unpleasant, either by loud talk or by carelessness of appearance Opinions differ as to what talk is loud or unpleasant, or what is a secmy at- tire and what is not.
 One of the conventions universally agreed upon is that men should keep their coats on in public places unless it is so hot that the wearing of a coat is absurd Tn the theater, for instance it is not considered especially good taste for man to remove his coat Of course 1t is ridiculous that men should be obliged to wear a costume that is uncomfortable when women dress otherwise, but such is the con- vention and, unless the weather is es- pecially warm, it is convention which makes for added propriety in public places.
 DOIllt lHeH ldll III to the T1Dlt O1 carelessness because no suggestion has been made that such carelessness is improper. Some men remove their coats in the presence of women in public places without even imagining that they are doing anything out of the way. And some of these men would be the last to do anything that would stamp them as ignorant of the ways of people of refinement. It Is merely suggested and the statement made on information and belief" that men in theaters who know what is proper do not remove their coats.

16 Year Old Daughter Takes Part in Knife Fight With
 Relatives

Rockmount, Va, Sept 13.-Helen Bridges, sixteen, covered with knife wounds, today told how she and her father Lewis Bridges, fought with knives and guns with his brother, Lacey, and brother in law, Posey Shively and killed them both.
 The fight took place Saturday. Bridges and his daughter sought shell ter in the home of farmer, where their wounds were dressed. Then they made their way to Rockmount, where they told their story
 The girl said the bodies would be found beside the road, about fifteen miles from here. The sheriff and two deputies found them there.
 Bridges said the two men attacked him while he and his daughter were travelling along the road. He said they attempted to stab him, to death When his daughter went to his assistance, they attacked her too. There was a wound four inches long across Helen Bridges left breast. Other wounds were on her right side and right arm. There is also a deep gash about three inches long on her neck.
 Lacy Bridges hit my father on the head with a rock,' the girl said, then they pulled knives out of their pockets and began cutting him. I went to his assistance and they cut me. They fought all over the road and in the bushes. l did all I could to help my father.'
 When my father got them both down they did not get up. We lay on the ground several hours, ex- hausted and bleeding. Then we went to a farmers house and had our wounds dressed"
