ATTIRE AROUSES GREEKS
Organization of Zealots in Athens Ter
rorize the Women Who Wear the
Latest Style Clothes

Athens. Aug. Fashionable wom-
en- In Athens, and foreign women who
follow the modern trend in dress, are
being terrorized by the violent acti-
vities of a local organization which
terms itself 'the Zealots of Christ"
The members of this association
have taken a vow to compel modesty
in womens dress by force. Women
wearing low necked gowns or going
about with bare arms are often rough
ly handled, and the exposed parts of
their persons are smeared with tar.
In several cases recently the male
escorts of women thus attacked have
given the roughs some very severe
beatings, but nevertheless the system
attic campaign of molestation goes on.

Letter From Mrs. Joseph Graves

Hamilton

Letter !. From Mrs. Joseph Graves
Hamilton to Mr.. Joseph Graves
Hamilton.
My Dear Husband:
The queerest thing possible has
happened, Joe dear, and it seems to
me as If 1t were direct interposi-
hon of Providence.
You remember when you were
here last we talked over the feast
bility of bringing baby to Leslie
and seeing If we could not interest
her in it.
The night before fast Leslie did
not seem as well as usual. She was
very restless. Kept moaning even
In her sleep. Yesterday morning.
much to the surprise of every one,
she called as soon as she awoke for
Jack. And when he came she said,
Il want to go home"
Jack seemed to think that she
wanted to come to our home and he
sent for me post haste. However,
before l was dressed and had gotten
to her room, she explained to Jack
that she meant their own apartment
or course every one, including the
doctor was perfectly delighted to
hear her make some request, and
within an hour we had her back in
her own bedroom, and 1 again had
taken the apartment across the hall
for myself and the nurses.
For little time she seemed much
brighter yesterday morning, although
the ride and the settling of her in
her home tired her greatly. About
noon she went TO sleep and slept I'M
til late in the afternoon When she
awoke she asked. Where is my
baby? Bring him to me-"

When Mr.. Bear cried out in terror

swan hurriedly to his side.
They found Mr.. Bear standing in
the shallow water near the shore of
! the lake.
Now, Ephraim.'' said Mrs. Bear,
don't be alarmed. Well help you.
Tell me just what has happened"
Well" Mr.. Bear gasped, its like
this: When try to lift my left hind
foot, it stays right on the bottom Of
! the lake 1t feels exactly as If an
enormous weight was holding ii
down. But l can't sec anything on it.
/ Much as I've swum all my life,

to me before"
Let me see you try to move that
foot" said Mrs. Bear
He tried.
There: It's just as told you. I
can't stir it," he moaned.
Mrs. Bear bent over and looked at
him closely. She even ducked her
head down into the water, the better
to see his feet. When she straight
ened up She was smiling.
IT'S all right, Ephrsim." she as
sured Mr. Bear. You have no reason
to worry. You've made a little mis-
take. It's all very simple"
please talk so l can understand
YOU" Mr.. Bear grumbled. Il don't
know what you mean"
So Mrs. Bear explained.
The reason why you can't move
your left hind foot" she told him. is
because that's the only one you're
standing on. Stand on your right
foot and you'll find you can move the
left one"
A worry foolish look came over Mr..
Bears face as he followed his wife's
advice and found that she was right.
Il don't see how / ever made such

MURPHY WOULD CHANGE
VOLSTEAD DRY STATUTE

BUFFALO, N. Y, November 90
Golf has been the most engrossing
topic of discussion at French Lick,
Charles F. Murphy. Tammany chief
tain, mas informed Norman f. Mack,
Democratic national committeeman,
by telephone.
Mr.. Mack yesterday quoted Mr.. Muir
ply as saying to him:
There has been no talk of presi-
Dental possibilities beyond the Gus
tomary ante-convention gossip that
every group of two or three men in
evitably indulge in about this stage
Of the national contest; we have been
neither for nor against any man in
any OF our random talk.
AS O. matter, of fact, there has not
been a single thing so seriously i'm
portant but what a par hole or a
birdie would have completely knocked
it out OF our hands. I'll make this
one exception-we have seriously
discussed the Volstead act, the in
creasing disrespect for the law and
the utter failure of its enforcement.
have reiterated my conviction that
the Volstead law should be changed
to permit each state to determine
itself the alcoholic content OF its
beverages"
