RATTLE OLE SKIRTS

BATTLE OF SKIRTS
The conflict between the long skirt
and its knee-length sister is steadily
growing more bitter and more desper-
ate.
1t has degenerated, as it inevitably
must into a contest of streets-a battle
between Fifth avenue and Broadway
And, sisters Just because Fifth avenue
is Fifth avenue and Broadway is
Broadway. don t rush in too early and
decide that it's all over but the cheer
ing. Fifth avenue has been defeated
before in this never ending contest for
style supremacy and may be again des-
pite the fact that Paris is definitely
allied with the "Avenoo" folks
The "come back - of the long skirt
is not popular with Broadway, because
Broadway works and the ease and com
fort of the short skirt has worn an i'll
delible place for it's self in the mind
of the American girl. The knee-length
skirt is "smart -; it has "snap' and
ginger. 1t is not hard to fit; requires
less goods and frankly, there are very
few women living who do not believe
but that they present much more eff
fectivc appearance i'll the short skirt
than in its trailing prototype.
And what makes this popular adher
ance to the short skirt even more re
markable is that it has occurred i'll thu
face of the desperate efforts of Ameri
cans and European dress manufactures
who have exhausted every effort on th'
part of press agent and ballyhoo tt
make it appear as if the abbreviated
skirt was doomed to be relegated bacl
TO the beaches and chorus, TO dat
however the American girl has not beel
appreciably stampeded.

MONEY PRESS TOO
SLOW FOR PRICES

MOSCOW, June l6.-Prices of food
and clothing increased $50 per cent in
Moscow during the first ten weeks of
1929, according to official statistics
just published. They are still going up,
faster than ever, largely due to the fail
in value of the paper rouble.
Rapidly as the government money
printing presses are working, they are
running losing race with the high
cost of living. The government has
not been able to publish roubles fast
enough to make up for their decrease
in publishing value.
Figures for December, 1921, show
that while the quantity of paper money
in circulation was increased 50 pc,
cent during that one month, prices went
up 100 per cent on the Moscow mark ket

THREE C'S IN FEDERATION,

Character, Capacity, Capital, are the
three big "C's' in club work accord
ing to Mrs. Edward Dexter Knight.
Mrs. knight, who is a past president
of the State Federation of Women s
clubs, is strong advocate of the
proper financing of the work. She
contends that the great organization
of women however lofty its ideals, can
not function successfully without econ
omic independence. She says with its
finances as they have been the organ
ization is like u big business concern OF
character and capacity, lacking capital
to make it Il sound working power, and
without rating from a financial stand
point.

GIRLS AUXIJIARIES

les have been formed by many clubs in
the federation and have proven quite
an addition for good to the work OF
the women. Mrs. w. A. Fitzgerald
says of these organizations:
cit seems to me the auxiliary offers
a splendid avenue for better under
standing between the young and older
people in the community. And at Il
time when so much is said in criticism
of the forms of recreation provided for
youth, ] think every woman s club can
render q distinct service to it's com
munity in assisting to secure worth
while and wholesome entertainment.
Many of the clubs are giving the use
of their buildings for musicals, picture

CLUBS TO FEATURE
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMS

The long ballot of the Nocember
election viii bear many measures and
the state president urges that all clubs
in the California federation to feature
legislative programs early in the fall,
with arguments for and against propos-
itions. As American citizenship is to
be stressed next year, there would
seem to be no other way in which clubs
can better use their time than in build
ing their memberships up to intelligent
use of the ballot and in helping others
to do likewise.

Actuated by Loyalty.

An amusing story Of the king Of
Denmark's recent visit to Greenland
was recently told by NJ. Aagaard Of the
Danish legation, to members Of the
Danish club In London.
As the royal yacht was approaching
Greenland dark speck became visible
on the open sea. 1t proved to be q
solitary Eskimo In his little cayak
(native canoe). The Eskimo came Oh
board and his loyalty In having braved
the perils Of the sea in such frail
craft assured him the warmest Of well
comes. The king presented him with
a cigar and, what the Eskimos most
highly prize. a rifle.
On landing, the king described the
incident to the Danish commissioner
IN Greenland and asked him who the
man was. .....
The commissioner, In accents of hor-
ror, replied: 'The mans an escaped
convict. He broke prison yesterday,
stole a canoe and put TO sea. We

Increased Rail Service
Noted in San Francisco
BY LYNN c. SIMPSON.
Special Correspondent of The Star.

SAN FRANCISCO. September IL
While the railroads are still short of
men in their shops they are steadily
improving their service and the ap-
prehensions of fruit growers as to the
marketing of their crops has been al
layed. Fruit is moving steadily and
steps have been taken to increase the
number of refrigerator cars in sery-
ice.
There has been a steady increase in
bank clearings and deposits in the
last week and widening activity in
building construction. with more work
in sight than the available supply of
trained artisans can do. Retail trade
is improving.
In financial circles the drop in retail
trade is attributed largely to the
psychological influence of the labor
disturbances and that actual losses
have been magnified.
