beach to similar one for whites;
and now the matter has been taken

Ladies Skirts Again Will
Be Shortened According to
Latest Authentic Reports

CLEVELAND, O.-The National
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacture
ers' association met here yesterday
and approved style recommendations
for next spring and summer.
Skirts as an average will be worn
ten inches from the ground and in
extreme cases fifteen inches.
Sprightliness of style as we'll as
of color emphasizes the new spring
creations.
The slenderizing silhouette con-
tinues the foundation for the. new
seasons styling. Many new varia-
tions in the cut of garments are in
troduced, including the tunic theme
and circular cuts, but in all cases
the garments are worn so as to
achieve the straight line, slender
type.
In sport coats the mannish cut
will be strongly evidenced.
The shorter length skirt will have
its influence upon the styling of
new spring coats, which will be
somewhat shortened in length.
Materials will be soft, at least in
coats, and number of new shades
will be worn, including rose ash,
woodland brown, tiger eye, golden
oak and many new blues, greens and
tans.

METHUSELAH REACHED
RIPE AGE OF 969 YEARS
so SCIENTISTS REPORT

WASHINGTON-The theory that
the ancients made their years far
short of the regulation 365 days and
that therefore Methuselah was not
969 years old when he died, was at.
tackled here today by Prof c. S.
Longacre of the Church of the Sew
enth Day Adventists, a teacher of
biblical exegesis.
Referring especially to an analysis
by Prof Russell T. Crawford. Uni.
versity of California astronomer
who, he said, had recently placed
Methuselah's age at 80 years, Prof.
Longacre said that if it were true
that the ancients reckoned their
years by monthly cycles Adam was
n years old when be died and only
nine when Cain was born.
eff Prof. Crawford has trouble be.
lieving that Methuselah was 969
years old when he died" said Prof
Longacre, what is he going to do
with Enoch, Methuselah's father, by
making him only five years old when
his son was born, according to Prof
Crawford's own monthly cycle com
putation. How can he reconcile the
record in Genesis, the seventh chap.
ter, where it says the flood came
in the six hundredth year of Noahs
life. in the second month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, and
further states that the waters pre-
vailed upon the earth hundred and
fifty days." In the eighth chapter
of Genesis it says the flood prevailed
five months, proving that the an
clients reckoned thirty days to each
month.
"All this shows that the ancients
knew all about days, months and
years and that the same number of
days were in a month then as are
in our month now"

BLACKS OF OKLAHOMA
TRY TO INITIATE STYLE
SOUTHERN BRETHREN

HENRIETTA, Okla.,-Across the
main street of Boley, an exclusively
colored settlement in this state, ap.
peared the warning: white man,
don't let the sun set on you" The
sign was ordered removed by fed
eral authorities who threatened to
discontinue the postoffice of Beley
unless the order was obeyed.
In ordering the offensive sign
removed from the street, the fed
eral officers pointed out that 1t
might be necessary for white Of
ficials in the postal service to
visit Boley, and it might also be
necessary for them to remain over
night III the line of duty. 1t was
also explained to the citizens that
such signs were unwarranted and
a menace that could only tend to
keep alive the racial antagenism
that would but result in injury to
their community.
1t is said that the sign was the re-
suit Of high feeling among members
of the community over the attempted
arrest of John Owen, City Marshall
of Boley by Sheriff r. H. McKinnon
(white) who charged Owen with
election irregularities. This Incl
dent was followed by a rupture be
tween the races resulting in the
arrest of five colored men who
appeared in court charged with incit-
ing colored against the whites and
held in $1,000 bail each. Bail was
furnished iand the men are at
liberty until the trial.

DOCTORS HAVE PLAN
TO END SUFFERING OF
PATIFNTSSAY REPORTS

COPENHAGEN-A bill which would
authorize physicians under certain
conditions to take the life Of a pa
tient without incurring punishment
has been introduced in the Danish
Parliament by Minister of Justice
Steincke.
According to the old law, the
taking of a patients life at his
special request came within the de-
signation of murder or manslaughter.
The Steincke bill says:
If action is undertaken in order to
release a hoplessly ill person from
severe and inevitable sufferings, pun
ishment may be waived under ex-
tenuating circumstances.
A wise provision. Many old. help
less incurable persons, suffering the
tortures of the damned, haven't the
nerve or have too much religion to
commit suicide, and yet they daily
drag through unspeakable misery,
because the doctor prolongs instead
of shortening their lives. Life has
far too much suffering and many
people now are wise enough to
realize that God is neither blamable
for their condition nor responsible
for the indiscretions that caused it,
