Matron
in Latest Modes

The World war of 1914-'18 is re-
sponsible for the present trend of the
mode toward feminine grace and COM
parative maturity. Lest this sound
overly dogmatic, says a fashion cor
respondent in the New York Herald
Tribune. we hasten to explain that it
is merely q theory, but it is an ex-
ceedingly tenabe theory, based on
close observation.
The premise is patent enough. A
cursory glance at models worn at the
Ritz in Paris is convincing evidence
that flaming youth is no longer the
motivating force of fashion. Not that
there are any traces of decrepit age
ON the frocks, but the atmosphere of
graceful dignity that is infinitely
easier on the eyes. Obviously, there
must be reason for the retreat of
youth and we append our solution.
The great youth myth of the pres
ent decade was unQueStiOnahly
founded on the liberating influence
of the equally great war. Costumes
manners and morals were all sub
jected to radical revision by the
debs and subdebs of 1917 and the
older generation was powerless to
stem the tide. The reason was easily
evident. Here was a group of girls
ranging in years from about eight
cen to twenty eight, who. because OF
the dearth of men, were suddenly
thrown into more responsible posi-
tions than their Victorian mothers had
ever dreamed Of Some were Liberty

HUNGER STRIKER
 PUZZLES RUSSIANS
Maria SpridOnOVa, Idol Of Peas,
 ants, Refuses to Eat

Riga, Mar. 9.-Maria spriridonova. probably the most famous of all Rus sian women revolutionists, is on a hunger strike in a Moscow prison and 1t is reported that the Bolshevist officials are about to deport her to Turkestan.
 Emma Goldman and other radicals have been exerting every effort to have Spiridonoya released from Rus sia, that she might recruit her brok- en health in Germany. But Moscow officials are apparently afraid to let her leave Russian soil. SheFis the idol of the peasants and Is believed by them to. have charmed life.
 As a young girl spiridonova bomb ed a Russian provincial governor who was notorious for his brutal treatment of the peasantry. She suf- fered every indignity at the hands of czarist officers and was sentenced to death. But this. young school teacher who had made such a battle against the inhuman treatment of the peas- antry was too we'll known to be exe- cuted, and was banished to Siberia.
 The 1917 revolution brought her back to Petrograd. and although she was not a Bolshevist, she induced the social revolutionists of the left to cooperate with the Lenine forces, and became a powerful factor in the congress of soldiers, sailors and workers which brought the Bolshe- vist government into existense and hastened the end of the Kerensky regime.
 But Spiridonova was opposed to the Brest -Litovsk treaty. She battled against the shipments of grain and cloth from starving Russia to Ger many, and opposed Lenine's efforts to arraign the penniless peasants against the thrifty peasants who had managed to buy a few sheep and COWS. In the All-Russian Soviet con- gross in July, 1918, Spiridonova open ly assaiIed Lenine's policy and defied the German ambassador, Mierbach, who was subsequently, murdered.
 Since that speech Spiridonova has never been a free woman. For a time she was in a sanitarium and the Bolshevist authorities declared she was mentally irresponsible. Later she has been in various prisons and under guard in villages near Moscow, But at all times she has realized her steps were dogged by the secret police and she has more than once appealed to the officials to throw her back In jail. She said she preferred actual confinement to life under con stant espionage.
 Emma Goldman and other liberals who have seen Spiridonova frequent ly in Russia scout all suggestions that her mind is affected.

Amsterdam, Holland, March g. That Americans seem 10 take far more interest in Dutch Guiana than do the people at home, was the plaint of Baron 4, !. Van Heemstra. Dutch governor of Surinam, who has been spending q business vacation in the mothcrland.
 To an interviewer the governor mentioned the activities of a strong American exploration syndicate, whose experts passed through Para maribo last month and who are now prospecting for gold in the interior of the colony
 German industrial firms. the go- vernon added, also have shown great eagerness in taking up various deHe- lopment propositions, but curiously enough the Dutch themselves are not coming forward very readily, except for a proposal to erect a sugar re finery in the colony.

CAPITAL VS. LABOR k FIGHT WEARS END
PrOi. Carver Sees Re-DiStribu- tiOn of Property Ownership

New York, March 9,-The United ! states Is experiencing a re-dIstribu- tion of property ownership upon a scale which promises to end the struggle of capital versus labor in the opinion of Corporation chiefs, educators, government experts and labor leaders expressed in speech es prepared for delivery today be- fore the smi-annual session of the Acaremy of political science,
 The four chief phases of this movement, as outlined by Thomas N Carver, professor of political economy at Harvard, are;
 1.-The increase Of savings dc posits: c--the growth of industrial insurance; S--the rapid Increase in the number of employees and custo- ners who are becoming sharohold- CTS in corporations; 4-the rapid de- velopment of labor banks
 Without revolution, but rather by an evolution which does not require any radical change in American property laws, Is this diffusion of property taking place, said Prof. Carver.
 Four factors which combined in the past 10 kocp opportunity from the masses are now being eliminated, he said. continuing;
 Low wages. produced by free nr l1Iar vented the mass of wags workers from getting money to invest. The restriction of immigration has re- moved this hindrance,
 "The enormous waste of money on drink dissipated such savings as iaboring men might otherwise have made from their low wages. Pro- hibition Is tho ending to remove this hindrance.
 "Fraudulent promotions and tha consequent loss to inexperienced in Vestors not only dissipatcd such sums as were invested but discour- aged others from trying 10 invest. Blue sky laws, regulation of the in- vestment of trust funds, voluntary agencies such as advertising and better-business clubs are removing this factor.
 William Trufant Foster director of the Poilak Foundation for eCon- omic researCh Boston spoke of popular ownership of property as a stabiizer in national hard times.
 "The more extensive the distribu- ton of securities among consum- CTS" he said, the steadier the flow of purchasing power to consumers Is likely to bo. The income from securities flows more steadily thar wages. No matter what happens tc a workers other sources of income his stock in a great CO-cOrpOrator yields him fixed return"

JUDGE SAYS CHANCE
 18TH AMENDMENT
Nevada Justice Convinced That
 Il Has Been Failure

Reno. New. March g. Frank II. Norcross. former chief justice of the Nevada supreme court, author of a resolution in the state legislature calling on congress to assemble n national constitutional convention to amend the eighteenth amend ment, declares that universal con- tempt of the law Is being instilled in the minds of the country's citizen ship. He believes that the eigh- teenth amendment to the federal constitution should be substituted by a provision empowering congress to prohibit or regulate the importa- ton, manufacture and sale of liquor. thereby placing the entire question in the hands of the national legis- lature.
 With such a modification of the eighteenth amendment, in his opin- , ion, congress woul dfeel free to en- act moderate liquor legislation that would command the respect and support of the country at large. Such legislation, he considers. should not permit the return of the saloon, but probably should allow the sale of liquor under some such system as that prevailing in several provinces of Canada.
 Explaining his position, Judgc Norcross says: T voted for the Nevada prohibition act and support ed the eighteenth amendment. But I am convinced that they have fail. ed. AS a consequence we are living under a national law and state sta tutes that are being openly flouted by millions of people.
 Congress can never have free hand to deal with the situation un. til we return to the correct principle of making the constitution the re- pository of congressional power and not itself a penal code.
 "Too radical legislation has al. ways failed to accomplish desired re suits. Natural laws control pena laws, and there are fixed limits be wound which penal statutes canno go and be generally respected. Thert are extremists who believe that ever the moderate use of intoXicants il harmful. On the other hand, ; large portion of the population be lieves that their moderate use is no wrong. For q minority or even ; majority of a free people to impos' their particular ideas upon a larg' portion of the population havin, radically different views has neye yet been successfully accomplished.
 Judge Norcross added that if tho states themselves called a constitu tional convention, the question could be removed from politics an, solved. This would not b. possible he said, by any other method, a congress, even though a majority o its members were opposed to thu eighteenth amendment, would neye initiate a resolution for its revision

.5OO ACTORS IN
 PASSION PLAY
Big Brothers of Chicago NH
 Give Performance in March

Chicago March 9,-Feeling that no efforts at an adequate charac- terization could escape some un- avoidable sacrilege, the Big Broth CTS, an organization of Chicago busi- ness and professional men, in their production of the Passion Play the revenue from which will be diverted 10 their work among delinquent boys of the juvenile court, decided to use a statue of Christ in portraying that role.
 The first performance will be given
 March IS with a cast composed of nearly 800 Chicagoans, each serving without pay and selected 10 play his part yearly through the next decade. 1 A sculptor has been employed for
 months contriving to give the statue supreme beauty, dignity and life
 likeness that would better express , he reverentlal spirit of actors and tproduCcrs. Through the use of Ger
 man prism glass which, when used IS a lens, lmparts a seeming moVe-
 ment to the statue, and through the use of moveable limbs, 1t has been the lighting arrangements of the production, indistinguishable from real life.
 1 A voice will issue from the stage, 1 speaking the words of Christ, and
 the words will seem to come directly from the statue of Christ itself. But
 no one outside the cast will know what actor is speaking the words. The cast has been rehearsing for more than year, No member will be permitted to capitalize on any 1 reputation made in the play and all are pledged to refrain from profes- sional stage work during the de- cade. The Big Brothers, casting about for new ways and means to
 meet the suddenly rising criminal activities of boys in Chicago, hit up-
 on the plan of dramatizing some re-
 lgious work. They decided upon
 the Passion Play, which will be pro- i duced in utmost reverence to obtain money for boys work,
 In the temple scene, a recreation
 of the actual structure has been planned. Jewish rabbis have con- tributed historical data, lending gi- gantic Candlcsticks, altars, curtains and fittings that have been preserv- ed as exact copies of the Jewish art
 and religious worship of that time. The rcnding of the Veil is to be ac- complished by an ingenious electrical arrangement whereby a bolt of lightning will be seen to strike, while Judas prostrates himself on the floor.
 The CrucifXion, with it's three crosses in silhouette against a blind ing light, and the kneeling women, has been rehearsed to obtain com- iplete perfection.
 A choir of 150 male voices, who
 will take tho place of an orchestra, will sing and chant throughout the
