FASHIONS IN. HORSES TAILS
Odd Designs That Have Been More or
Less Popular at Various Periods
of History.

Horses tails have been subjected to
curious changes of fashion. In the
time of the Stuarts the English coach
horses tail was worn long and flowing,
and was cut square. It was adorned
with ribbons on gala days, and
weather; thus a certain harmony was
preserved between the wig of the mas
ter and the tail Of his horse.
By the time of George II short wig
and a pigtail had taken the place of
the flowing curls in which the cava-
liers Of Charles l and the rakes of
Charles IFS court delighted.
The brilliant idea occurred to Lord
Cadogan, cavalry officer of that
period, to reduce the tails of his dra-
COON horses to short dock. Possibly
this was done with the view of saving
his soldiers the trouble of cleaning
those long tails and avoiding the
nuisance Of the splashes uniforms and
accoutrements must have received
from such hair streamers. Or it may
be that the debased taste of the age
made him think the appearance Of his
regiment was really improved by
bobbed tails. That is a question which
history does not decide.
The next step was to turn bobtails
into plugtails by cutting all the hair
from the last two or three inches of
the dock Having thus succeeded in
disfguring the headquarters Of dra-
COON horses, some individual devised
the additional barbarity Of cropping

IMPASSE AWAITING !
FRENCH CHAMBER
Millerand Refuses to Resign DA
spite Demand Of Socialists.
Situation Confused.
STRIKE OF PARTIES URGED
Herriot to Be Asked to Refuse
to Obey President.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 31.-On the eve of the
opening session of the new chamber
of deputies, political observers to-
night were unable to see clearly the
port toward which the French ship
of state was heading under the in
fluence Of two directly opposed cur
rents-the insfstence of the Social
lists that President M1Ileran6 retire
and the equally firm decision Of the
president that he remain at the
Elysee Palace.
The political situation which 1t
fore the inaugural session of the
chamber continues to be confused
with the complications multiplying
rather than diminishing.
Socialists to Aid Radicals.
The Socialists, according to the re-
suits of the meetings of their de-
partmentaI sections. appear disin-
clfned to authorize their members to
take part in the new government, but
this question will be finally settled
at the party convention tomorrow
morning. The expectation now is that
they will offer their support Ia
the radical government, but that they
Will propose as IL primary condition
the resignation of President Millerand.
NJ. Millerand. according to his
closest advisers. is entirely dfsin
clined to leave the executive mansion
at the behest of any party. He will
remain at the Elysee unless both
houses of parliament clearly express
the sentiment that he ought to go.
Hope to Force Retirement.
The Socialists. in view of this an
titude, will, their leaders say, pro-
pose to Edouard HeEriot, chief of the
Radical Socialist party and potential
premier, that he refuse to accept the
mission to form the government at
the hands of NJ. Millerand. BY a gen
eral strike of the leaders of the new
majority who might be called upon
to head the new government, they
hope to oblige NJ. Millerand to retire
as did Casimir Perier under simila +
circumstances in 1895.
The Elysee. it is said, will fight
this move by a message to both
houses based on constitutional prece-
dents, warning parliament of the
danger to the present regime IL the
chamber is allowed to dictate in this
way to the only branch of the gov
ernment which has thus far shown
any stability under the third republic.
1t would be Premier Poincare who
would be called upon to present such
a message and Radical circles are
somewhat alarmed at the possible
consequences which some experienced
| parliamentarians consider might go
| as far as the dissolution of the
chamber even before it gets to work

By RANDOLPH LEIGH.

The national OratOrical contest,
which comes to It's climax in Memo
rial Continental Hall on Friday eve
ming, is an attempt to have the basic
principles of the American govern
ment restated in the language OF
youth-for youth. 1t is composite
of many suggestions. In one sense 1t
might b. called insurance against
political boredom.
A very eminent lawyer contributed
imm mensely to the idea, though uncon-
rest of his life to lecturing on the
Constitution to students of America.
He also planned to secure 100 others
like himself tif such could be found)
to swell this barrage of lecturers.
Then this counter-suggestion was
made: Instead of 100 men talking
down to the youth of the land, why
not get 100000 young people who
would first familiarize themselves
with the subject and then pass on
their concepts in the fervent lam
guage of youth"
Thirty-seven Papers Aid Plans.
Hence this contest. which is a quest
for the three secondary school stu
dents with the highest capacity for
Interpreting and popularizing our
system of government. Into 1t have
been woven. quite frankly, elements
of school and sectional rivalry-and
even of high romance.
The project has been financed and
conducted by thfrty-seven metropolis
tan newspapers in all parts of the
country. With them more than 500
other publications of various types
have co-operated in giving publicity
to the undertaking, in connection
with which nothing whatever has
been offered for sale.
Fundamental to the success Of the
contest has been the assistance OF
the school authorities. whcih, in
every community, has been unstint-
ing and marvelouslySfruitful.
The eliminations proceeded by
classes, schools, groups of schools,
etc, until the winner IN each maJOr
newspaper territory was selected.
Since 1t was impossible to have the
thirty-seven champions speak in the
final meeting in Washington, the
country was divided into six major
zones, in each of which six cham
pions would compete for a place on
the final national program. The Dis
trict Of Columbia, as the scene of
the final meeting, was arbitrarily
made zone in itself, which amount
ed to giving It's representative Dye
to the finals.

Emphasis throughout has been
placed on the moving power OF the
Grafton, for no mere essay, weakly
delivered, could possibly produce the
desired results. On the other hand
the contest has been strikingly free
from the ranting and paving of the
air SO often associated with public
speaking Consequently the finalists
will be thrilling, but not acrobatic.
And properly SO. After all, oratory
