No longer dashing. but demure, the
fiapper dons long skirts, Puritan
collars, long sleeves.
VIII she abandon rouge, rolled
down stockings, bobbed hair and the
other insignia of her emancipation?
OF course she will If the new styles
demand it. And they seem to do so.
Here is her new fall silhouette
with its essential changes. Watch
for her. She'll begin to dot the
streets in a few weeks and after
that she'll grow more and more I'M

basic article to her creed, "As well

Dancing teachers predict the return
of the old-fashiOned waltz and other
conservative dances, with the coming
of the long skirt.
1t is quite evident that jazz is slow
ing down and becoming more melo-
dious.
Few regrets are expressed at the
passing Of the strangle-hold and the
toddle. they were fads, and so did
not gain a hold on the dancing pub
lie.
Those who rejoice at the return Of
the slow dances are the ones who
would assert it is not dancing that
is harmful. but the mental and moral
attitude of some dancers.
Answer to Jazz-Baby: I do not at
tempt to regulate the religious stand
ards of my readers. Dancing is good
exercise, but that Toe not mean every
person should dance.
If you have religious or moral scru-
pies against dancing, it is for you to
decide whether or not you should re-
gard them. The fact you have such
scruples might make dancing harm
full to you, whereas others could dance
without being affected.
Answer to MARY ANNE. For
utility afternoon dresses, heavy dark
silk crepes are especially good. They
are made quite simply. Some are
trimmed with an ornament; others
have Grapes, often lined with a bright
material. 2. If you are very thin,
take advantage Of the draped effects
that are being shown on this years
dresses. Wear loose dresses. Have
long sleeves, but not those that fall
back and show your hin arms. Avoid
close-ftting bodices and tight sleeves.
8. After you have dressed to avoid
showing your thinness, begin to put
on some fat. Sleep about III hours
every night. Be out of doors as much
as possible. Eat plenty Of wholesome
food. but don't overeat or you will
merely ruin your stomach and your
complexion. Don't let yourself get
excited or angry, or you will find it
very hard to gain weight.

Republican. While the vote was far
below the total cast at the last gen.
eral election, nevertheless, considered
proportionately the Republican ma
jority was almost as great as it was
in 1920. In 1920, the Republicans car
ried the third Maine congressional dis
trict with &c per cent of the votes
cast. In the recent congressional
election, Republicans polled e. per
cent of the total vote. This is the
largest Republican percentage of votes
cast, except for 1920. since the Repub-
lican party began to carry the district
in 1912. In 1910, the Democrats car
ried the district.
An important incident in connection
with the Maine election is the fact
that few weeks ago the city of Wa
terville, which is in the third con-
gressional district, elected a Demo-
cratic municipal administration by a
10000 plurality. This was claimed as
a great Democratic victory and an evil
dence of a turn from the Republican
party. That the issue then was purely
local, however, is demonstrated by the
fact that the Republican candidate for
congress carried that city on March
20 by 700 plurality, practically the
normal Republican strength.

Taxes Again.
THE TRIBUNE agrees most heart

THE TRIBUNE agrees most heart
lily with Mr.. Robertson that the
solution of the tax problem should moi
rest with politicians. Politics always
stalls and lodges and squirms and
serves only to make things worse
High taxes are the result of a popular
mania to spend freely, lavishly. The
mania is passed and the unpleasant
duty of paying alone remains.
But the governor of this state is its
chief business executive. The Tribune
reasserts its position that Mr.. Robert
son, given the authority and executive
responsibility to do so, undoubtedly
could serve in some measure to bring
order out of threatening disaster.
Taxes today is the one vital problem
in Idaho government Give US men
who can lend to that problem intelli-
gence and understanding to help us,
the people, get out of the muddle we
have willed upon us. John Robertson,
without getting the costly sense of false
economy that Alexander practiced, can
do much to help the state. More, we
think, as a governor of Idaho, than as
tax expert.

The Maine Election.

AS MAINE goes, so goes the
nation" has long been accepted
as political adage. Trivial in impor-
lance SO far as total vote cast or SO
tar as representation in the lower
house of congress is concerned, never
theless, Maine elections are always the
center of political interest. They
come in off periods when the political
barometer is not under observation
elsewhere. And the state has always
been reputed to an independent turn of
mind that results in frequent unexpect-
ed political upsets.
But if Maine is a political baro-
meter, then the nation is still solidly
