Most unprejudiced observers are
still unwilling to make any flat fore
casts on the presidential election, still
insisting that there is still time for
anything to happen. Although both
the Republican and Democratic chiefs
remain supremely confident of sue
cess, there is a distinct undercurrent
of feeling that an election right now
would result in mo choice" and that
Congress would have to unscramble
the situation developing from the La
Toilette candidacy.
The Gubernatorial campaign in
New York between Al Smith and
Theodore Roosevelt II has apparently
developed into a wet and dry fight,
with the former Assistant Secretary
of the Navy urging more drastic pro-
hibition laws than those now in force.
Natioanl political leaders are watch
ing the New York campaign closely
as the outcome there undoubtedly will
have considerable influence on the
Coolidge fight there. The Naval
Oil scandal is also being dragged in
to the limelight in New York as T. R..
was Denby's right-hand-man during
the Sinclair Teapot Dome negotia-
tions.
Senator Brookhart's demand that
Chairman Butler remove General
Dawes from the Republican ticket is
interpreted here merely as the first
step in Brookhart's bolt from the Re-
publican party to the La Toilette in
dependents. The Iowa Senator was
allied with the insurgent forces in
the last Congress and was generally
expected to support La Toilette in the
presidential campaign, although the
announcement of his intentions have
been somewhat delayed. 1t is we'll
known, of course, that a National
chairman has no authority to change
a presidential ticket and would not If
he could. Brookhart'S assault on
Dawes is looked upon as one of the
strategic moves of the Progresslves
and as having no significance outside
of that.
War to the death is going on in the
Navy Department while the board Of
officers named by Secretary Wilbur
seeks to determine the relative eff
cheney of battleships and airplanes in
the national defense. Wilbur is in
clined to agree with the old time naval
officers that the day of the battle
ship has not passed, maintaining that
it is impossible to operate airplanes
independent of surface craft. The
aeronautical officers, however, want
to see more money appropriated for
aircraft, development and are willing
to see all the battleships scrapped.
The inquiry was ordered by Presi-
dent Coolidge, who believes that air
planes will play a more important
part part in future plans for the ma

This Time the
Jokes On the
Thieves

A. w. Swanson, county probation
officer, has been enjoying a good
laugh today at the expense of some
wouldbe automobile threveS, who
tried to steal Ford car from his
yard on Brighton street last night.
The thieves evidently spotted out
the Swanson car as easy prey and
pushed it from the yard 10 the
roadway. Their they spent consider
able time trying to make it 60, and
cranked until they were tired, out.
They evidently gave it up as a bad
job and leaving the car IN the road,
went their way.
The joke was on the thieves, as
the ear is one that was taken in
trade and has not been used for
months. There never has been any
fuel in it since the probation officer
obtained it, he stated, and the
crooks took the risk and had all
their work for nothing.

Each local union must hold a

for this county to make q record
in the state by carrying off the
nonors a fifth time.
The treasurer s report showed
that four of the six unions in the
county had raised their budget and
forwarded it to the state before

PARIS, Jan. 23.-The prodigal
short skirt has returned! And girls,
it's time to diet, for by the time
spring is here there Will be nothing
between the lower limbs and the
wide world but a "nude" stocking!
It gives one a chuckle TO think
that the little Broadway girls back
home have at last put it over on The
ladies of Fifth avenue. For long
time there was a tussle between the
ladies of the chorus and the ladies
OF the avenue over this skirt ques-
tion and 1t looked as though the
ladies whose names shine on social
calendars rather than those whose
names glitter on Broadway, held the
victory.
For Broadway weakened! Sullonly
it covered up its shapely ankles and
followed the vogue set by ladies of
fashion. Not having the time or
the inclination to adopt the grace
assumed by their weather sisters,
they went stumbling along' with
the tune otis long, long way to
Trip-arary" in their hearts And
now they can trip blithely as they
please, for Paris is again going short
skirted.
Women Rebelled
Not only the girls of the Great
White Way, but American women in
general rebelled at the return of the
long skirt last season. They simply
refused to be sidewalk sweepers.
Whether an added foot of SKIRT or
foot of shin was best, left no
question in their minds. But in spite
of one s comfort, fashions must be
followed.

GREER MAY BE
FREED TN Dimes
NORMAND CASE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.-With
q motion for dismissal of the case
scheduled 40 be made during the
DAY, the preliminary hearing Of
HORACE A. Greer, chauffeur for
Mabel Normand, on the charge that
he shot Courtland S. Dimes, Denver
Gil man, is drawing to its close.
Only one important witness, Mrs.
Edith Burns, the comedienne s COM
panion, remains to be examined, IN
less the court should deny the def
cnse motion that the charges be
dropped.
Should Justice Handy overrule
the plea, then Greer Will possibly
take the witness stand in his owr
behalf, according to Attorney S. S
Hahn, his counsel.
The old court skeleton, the "cor
pus delicti,'' is what the defense
bases it's hopes on of having tho
case dismissed. So far in the pre-,
liminary, it has never been estab-
lished that Greer shot Dimes at all,
and unless this is done, the defense
claims the charge just naturally
must be dropped.
Never Saw Shooting
Miss Normand has testified she
never saw the shooting. Edna Pur-
viance, another guest at the New
Years day party in Dimes apart
nent, has said she was in the bed
room powdering her nose, and that g
the only kind of powder she smell
ed. Dimes himself, in testimony
taken at the hospital Monday,
varied from his statements immed
lately following the affair, and
said he wasn't even sure whether
or not the chauffeur had "plug
ged' him.
In fact, court observers agree,
there has been no evidence so far
to disprove the claim, should any
one wish to advance it, that Dimes
shot himself.
Upon the shoulders of Justice
Handy, sitting in all the dignified
importance which the case has TO-
cused upon him, will descend the
necessity of making hair-splitting
decision.

FOOD SITUATION In GERMANY NOW
IMPROVING, HAVE STOPPED BOARDING
u. s. Nisinformed

America is largely misinformed
about conditions in Germany. Mise
ry and starvation are prevalent en-
cugh-all too prevalent. But there
is not the selfhelp here that there
should be. Chancellor Marx made
ii clear III his Christmas message
that the nation must learn to rely
more on itself, if it is to expect
outside aid. This is a much-needed
note i'll the nations life, it is ad-
mitted everywhere by foreign OBJ
servers and clearminded Germans.
And, especially, is there some
thing radically wrong in this,
there is much wretched poverty
which for the most part is relieved
by foreign help, rather than by
greater efforts at home on the parS
of those who pay unthinkinglv the
prices asked i'll German shops.
Bad Management
Germany has 10 difficulty now
with its transportation except that
bad management leaves the rail
roads with constant deficit.
A food loan from America will
help tide over the two to three
months between the exhaustion of
this year s crop and the coming of
another harvest. The food situa-
ton is, all in all, vastly better than
in other years since the war. The
shortage above mentioned is no.

Officers Did Good Work
Following the murder, Sheriff
Gillett and District Attorney Ut.
ley, who had just come into of
flee, bent all their energies i'll an
effort to ferret out the mu"dcrers.
At one time six men were confin-
ed in the county Jail on suspicion
of the crime, including prominent
rancher, who was afterward clear
cd of the accusation. The evidence
finally narrowed down to Cazares
and MendeZ. The latter made one
confession, which he afterward re
pudiated. Ho also attempted to
commit suicide while confined in
Jail.
The trial was long drawn out,
finally resulted in verdicts of first
degree murder for both men and
the sentence of death was imposed
on April 3. Miller X. Kinds was
attorney for Cazares and the late
Wilbur w, Randall appeared for
Mendez.
