Mine ACCIDENTS
TAKE Big TOLL
Sullivan Disaster SWeIIs To-
tai for Year.

Mine accidents claimed more than
twice as many lives in Indiana for
the year ending Sept. as were lost
during the year ending Sept. l, 1924,
Albert Daily, chief State mine in
spector, said today.
Forty-eight miners died in &C
cidents and explosions in the year
ending Sept. 1, 1924. For the twelve
months just ended the toll was 80.
The Sullivan mine explosion, when
fifty-one persisted, was responsible
for the increase.
Fifteen miners died in smaller ex-
plosions and thirty-three were killed
in accidents incident to underground
labor.
Greater care and safety appliances
is reducing accidents. 1t is expected
the number killed during the next
year will be less.

PARIS MODISTES HEIGHTEN
SKIRT, AND PRICE, TOO

Paris.-Short skirts have not short
ened the price Of Paris frocks. After
a month Of hesitation the Parisienne
has decided to adopt the wide flowing
skirts offered BY model makers at the
autumn fashion shows. Their brevity
promised economy, but it seems that
the outward flow necessitates Az
yards of cloth.
To add to the cost, Paris has de-
cided that it will adopt as the essen
tial material for all autumn suits the
most expensive wooden cloth ever Of
'fered. 1t is rich silky material called
zibeline, cloth at first fought shy Of
BY dressmakers, who, because Of its
price, did not think it would be adopt
ed by the woman Of moderate means.
1t sells at price equivalent to 81
yard
With four and one-half yards needed
for the flowing hem of each short skirt
prices have scared, and the little dress
maker who used to copy the Rue de
la Paix models for half their price
cannot do SO. Yet somehow her Gus
toners are none the fewer The
French treasury j empty, but its
women can seemingly quite well af-
ford to pay twice as much for gowns
as they paid last year.
We are earnestly hoping day and
night that the dear sweet ladies will
soon start in to wear their skirts a
little longer, at least down to their
knees, for we are so very bashful that
we are always fearful that we might
see something which will cause us to
turn red or white in the face.-Editor.
