Temple Garments Greatly Modified
Church Presidency Give. Permission
Style Change Optional With Weare

Coming, not as an order. nor as rule
to be rigidly enforced, but rather per-
missive in character is a recent outgiv-
ing of the first presidency of the
| Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. 1t concerns the garments worn
by members of the church who have
been married in the temple, or who
have participated in other ceremonies
performed or rites observed therein.
While minor notifications of the
temple garment, it is said, have been
made at various times during the past
years, the latest order in permission is
regarded by younger members of the
church as most liberal and acceptable.
Among the older membership the op-
tional change is variously received.
Some of the pioneer stock look upon
any deviation from the old order as a
departure from what they had always
regarded as an inviolable rule. Others
of long standing in the church accept
the change as a progressive move in
tended to add to personal comfort.
Old Style Uncomfortable
In the old days the temple garment
was made of plain, unbleached cotton
cloth. Unbleached linen was as far
afield in "finery" as the devotee was
permitted to go. No buttons were used
Oh the garment Tape tie strings took
their place. The garment itself was I'M
comfortably large and baggy. But de-
spite these imperfections the old style
garment is faithfully adhered to by
many of the older and sincerely devout
members of the church. These regard
the garment as a safeguard against di-
sease and bodily harm, and they be-
lieve that to alter either the texture of
cloth or style, or to abandon the gar
ment altogether would bring evil upon
them.
One good woman of long member
ship in the church, hearing Of the
change that has recently come about,
went to the church offices and uttered
fervid objection. ~ shall not alter my
garments even if President Grant has
ordered me to do so. My garments now
are made as they were when [ was mar
ried in the endowment house, long be-
fore the temple was built The pattern
was revealed to the Prophet Joseph
and Brother Grant has no right to
change it," she said.
Explanation was made that the first

sion to those who so desired to make
the modifying change; that any mem
Der of the church who preferred to ad-
here to the original style was at perfect
liberty to do so.
President Charles w. Penrose says
that modification of the garment is ell
ective with each individual member of
the church who has gone through the
temple. The change in style is permit
ted for various good reasons, chief
among which are promotion of freedom
of movement in the body and cleanli-
ness. Formerly the sleeves were long,
reaching to the wrists. While doing
homework the women would roll up
the sleeves. If sleeves were to be rolled
up they might as well be made short
in the first place for convenience, it
was argued. Permission to abbreviate
is now given, but it is not an order and
is not compulsory, it is explained.
Is Generally Welcomed
Encasing the lower limbs the old
style garment reaches to the ankles and
is looked upon by young members a.
baggy, uncomfortable and ungaUly.
The young of the gentler sex complain-
ed that to wear the old style with the
new and finer hosiery gave the limbs
a knotty appearance. 1t was embarass,
ing in view Of the generally accepted
sanitary shorter skirt. Permission is
therefore granted by the first pres1-
dency to shorten the lower garment
Also buttons are permitted to take the
place of the tie-strings.
Young men Of the church, especially
those who take exercise or play games
at gymnaSiums, favor the shorter gar
ment. The permission granted is hail
ed by them as a most acceptable and
progressive one. Altogether, and eX-
cept in a few instances, the permissivc
is welcomed as a sanitary
move and change looking to the COM
fort and health of those who wear tenn
pie garments.
Instead of the old style, coarse, un-
irritating material of which
temple garments were once made the
finer knitted goods, and even silks, are
now used These materials and modi-
fed styles are officially approved, but
such alterations are optional with each
Individual, and by no means compul
sorry, church officials desire it under

 Patrons must not be rushed while they are eating,' said Miss Baker. They must be given ample time between courses and dishes must not be removed prematurely.

INVESTIGATION OF EMIGRATION
 RECOMMENDED
Trained Workers Suggested to Leave Sweden Instead
 of Routine Laborers.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. S-The emi- grafton from Sweden of highly quail fled engineers, expert foresters and agriculturists, of especially trained industrial workmen rather than of unskilled laborers and ordinary far mers. is recommended by Dr. Adrian Molin, an authority on the subject of emigration. Since there must be emigration of some kind, argues Dr. Moln, it would be better for the home country, and would insure greater success for the emigrants themselves, if those who establish q new domicile in America and else where were persons of professional or technical equipment.
 Swedish statistics show that, be- tween the ages of 15 and 50, there are now 100000 more persons en- gagged in gainful occupations than were in 1913. This surplus has been taken care of partly by increased work in the industrial world, and partly by emigration while the re- maInde,r about 38,000, at the end of

American Steam Shovels Demolish Walls of Paris
 

PARIS, Jan. 8.-American steam shovels, left behind in France by the American army. are speeding up the work of demolishing the forti fled walls of the old city to such an extent that it will probably be com pleted in five years, instead of the 25 years it doubtless would have taken by pick and shovel.
 The work started in 1919. and it's end seemed so far away that no one concerned himself with the outcome. Now the end is virtually at hand, due to the efficiency of American machinery, and the astonished people of Paris foresee the inevitable battle between Paris and it's suburbs over the extension of the city limits to include the entire department of the Seine.
 As soon as the wall is down a law will be introduced into parlia- ment consolidating the suburban towns of Boulogne, Neuilly, Levallois, Saint Denis. Pantin, Charenton, Vim ,ennes. Ivry and good many others with Paris. The suburban communi- lies say this is too much honor. They prefer to go on living a modest suburban life, to share in the splen- lors of the capital Besides. they reckon the cost will be greater than he honor.
 Paris replies that the suburbs will enjoy the improvements that will be made on the site of the fortifica- ions. and that therefore they should come in and share the expenses.
