Political

The last week of the campaign be-
fore the election Tuesday found the
various candidates. with the excep-
tion of President Coolidge, busily at
work in the field delivering their parting
broadsides at opponents before re-
tiring to await the choice of the
Nation. President Coolidge delivered
no speeches and confined himself to
| a letter to American Legion officials
in Chicago outlining his views on the
Constitutions; a telephone message
from the White House to a gathering
of Jewish philanthropic societies in
New York. and an informal talk to
advertising men who were his guests
at White House breakfast Wednes-
day morning.
The other candidates wound UP
their campaigns in the East. Gen.
Charles G. Dawes, Republican candi-
date for Vice President, delivered his
final campaign address in the East in

turning to Chicago. whence he trav
eled into the West, invading Missouri.

Overwhelmingly repudiated it at the
polls and swept into power the Con-

heavily.
One of the many interesting fea-
lures of the election was the fact
that more women voted in Great
Britain than ever before.
Candidate La Toilette, who has
been indorsed by the American Fed

Dental choice, received a hard blow
Thursday night in New York when
the executive council Of the Central

stride is not shortened, or mineing, but
can achieve its full, normal length.
This new pose, or rather pOise, was 30
successful in the fashion salons that the
pretty models began only . few months
ago to practice il on the streets. 1t was
new and graceful. Soon chic French
women began to take it up. In a few
weeks it was being initiated across the
channel in England, and nov. in America
It can be seen on New York's Fifth
avenue, and is already beginning to make
its appearance in bathrooms everywhere.
From the standpoint Of mere feminine
vanity, its strongest appeal lies in the fact
that the direct front or back view Of

double line, beginning at the hips, and
tapering down to a central point 1t the
toe or heel. And perhaps through some
optical illusion it makes the feet and the
ankles look smaller.
AS a proof of the fact that this new
style Of locomOtion is closer to tho per-

o. k. TO ON innovation
After Analysing the
--latest Freak Gait

FASHIONABLE American girls md
women are adopting a new style
Of strolling, which they call the
"chalk-line crawl"
It consists Of placing each foot directly
in front Of the other, with the toes turn
ing neither in nor out, but always pointed
straight forward as If one were walking
along line actually drawn on the pave
nent or the ballroom floor.
When this latest fad appeared it was
promptly denounced by people who oppose
all innovations as an "insane, unnatural
craze and q silly pese."
But science, for once, takes sides with
whimsical fashion. DR.. A. s. De Painter,
British anthropologist, and other scientists
who specialize in the movements Of human
beings and animals, declare that the
''chalk-line crawl" while slightly exag-
gerated, is closer to the ideal and "nat-
ural' way of walking than the ordinary
method with feet apart and toes pointed
slightly outward.
"1f notice Is TAKEN" DR.. De Pam
ter says, "of the best types Of un- Thr
civilized races, and Of bipeds, this =. H1
will be found to be the natural ST.

method of walking-straight legs

gain direct progression.
"The foot becomes much I'm
proved in structure and strength
by the habit, and far from being
a pose-or, rather, in spite Of the
fact that it may be pose dictated
bJ fashion--this new way of walk
ing seems a sensible concession to
Nature"
Women who have adopted the
fad may be pleased to know that
1t has the o. K. Of science, but
they are not concerned about
such matters, primarily. The
crawl" is becoming popular be-
cause it makes the feet look timer,
keeps the skirt draped more

gliding motion to the figure.

TUNED with wide, short skirt, wooden
stockings and flat-heeled shoes, the effect
was splendid as she swung down the
street. But after all, there was nothing
feminine in it. 1t was; in fact, nothing
but an imitation Of the masculine way
Of walking, and while it looked all right
with athletic clothes, it bordered on
'1e ridiculous when the walker wore
dainty, French high heels, sheer silk
stockings and clinging satin skirts.
The fourth innovation never "caught
on" popularity, and was not even given
name. 1t consisted OF walking with the
stomach thrust slightly forward. It
sounds ridiculous, but as a matter of fact.
II woman is graceful and perfectly pro-
portioned, such a posture produces a
smooth, swinging grace that is artistically
Of old Greek and Roman friezes. But
in order to "get away with it, girl had
to have the figure and the confidence of q
Greek goddess to begin wjth-and
slender one, at that.
The newest walk, the "chalk-line
crawl" is perhaps extreme, if practiced
with such fidelity that the feet make an
absolutely straight line, but the tendency
Of nearly all girls who wear high-heeled
shoes Is to "toe out" too much, and both
health and beauty experts agree that
general moderate adaptation of this new
fad would improve the carriage of many
modern women.

'front.' OF each other, but they keep them
very close together laterally, and walk
with each foot pointed almost directly
forward.
The American Indians and other
primitive types walk in much the same
way, and for slow, long-distance running,
they toe straight forward. If they vary
from the straight line at all, it is usually
inward, toward the position known as
'ipigeon-toed," because this seems to give
more traction, and q better forward
spring. No savage runner ever sprints
with the foot pointed outward.
The "chalk-line crawl" is the fifth Of
the fads and innovations in fashionable
feminine walking during the past few
years.
The first. just before the World War,
was the tiny, short, Inincing step, not
desirable In itself, but forced on women
by the "hobble skirts" and other tight
fashions Of the day. It was neither
practical nor pretty, and soen
went out" with the style Of dress
n ing that made it necessary.

"debutante SLOUGH" q lazy,
Sinking walk, with the shout
ders sagging. It was de-
nounced at the time by
health experts, and rightly,
& because it slackened all the
muscles, and interfered with
deep breathing. 1t probably
originated from the fashion
for flat chests, and the fact
that curves were unpopular.
The third fad was a
healthy reaction from this
extreme, and was called, for
lack Of better name the
p athletic stride" Girls walked
with long, swinging gait, with
shoulders thrown back, chest ex-
banded and head in the air. This

BOSSES CLAIM
Echoed By Pennsy's Non
Union Employees

Philadelphia.-The company union
of the Pennsylvania railroad sees no
difference between a public utility and
private corporation.
In objecting to railroad legislation,
this union" declares that railroads
have the right ITO manage their own
affairs as other industries do" The
railroad management circulates this
resolution, and contributes another
misstatement by putting this title
over the declaration: "What EN-
ployes Think"
Resolutions of this character is the
stuff that publicity agents and prop
agandists prepare for company
unions" to indorse.
There is no similarity between a
private corporation and a pubic util-
ity. A private corporation receives no
favors from the state. Eminent do
main, for instance, cannot be applied
for the benefit of a private corpora
tion, as in the case of railroad.
No court hesitates to maintain these
marked differences, which are so well
understood that it remains for a
union-smashing corporation. to have
its company union" utter contrary
sentiments and then announce to the
world that these employees think.

only their money invested. If the in
dustry goes bad they can get into
another one. But the worker has his
life invested. If the only industry in
which he is skilled worker goes bad,
his means of livelihood lis gone"
It is because the union wants the
industry to be healthy one is the
reason the manufacturer is asked to
aid the workers in removing onerous
conditions, said the trade unionist.
"An industry that is rapidly being
disintegrated; that is being disgraced; !;
that is turning into mad and unsuc-
cessful scramble for money; that
finds the quality of it's product con-
stantly growing worse, is bad indus
