SENSIBLE DRE SSING
 BY WOMEN

The Chicago swimming instruc- tor who has given 1t as his opin- ion, in answer to critics of wom- ems wear, or lack of wear, that they are dressed more sensibly than ever before in the history of civilized mankind, and that their health has been greatly benefited, seems to have all of the scientific data and statistics on his side.
 Women have become fine swim mers, he points out; they are splen- did tennis players, and can play other field games; they have set up good marks on the track, and can take turns in the gymnasium which 30 years ago would have been re- garded as dangerous to their sex.
 All of this emancipation from the monotonous doldrums of an earlier day may not be due en- tirely to the way they dress; but it must bn a corollary Of the new ideals of living that has come 10 women in such bountiful measure, With their advancement generally has come a realization that it is not necessary 10 be loaded down with clothes cramping their style and interfering with their move mcnts, which are pretty swift nowadays.
 When Gertrude Ederle swan the channel, followed by Mrs Bennington Corson. the advocates Of modernity in dress were greatly heartencd, as well they might be. "A woman could not possibly have accomplished the same feat 3C years ago" said the swimming in- structor, for corscts and other ri- diculously unnecessary clothing hampcreI her physical condition and deprived her of the muscular freedom so necessary in the dcvcl. opnent of a good swimmer. As far as physical strength is con. ccrncd, women, since they first got into athletics in 1900, have showr q prowcss equal 10 men. Physica education " taught her how tc dress soasihly and comfortably. Ii has taught her to think more free. ly and it has helped her 10 enjoy life as sh" never had chance tc before. As a result it has brought new race of women athletes" Women. in fact, are dressing more yru5,bly than men. Mans raimcnt las not greatly changed Whereas h. once had the laugl upon tho gentle scN, the latter now has much of smile for the con. scrlaliye way in which men clinl 10 uncomfortable raimcnt, Abou tho only change that has como about in mons attire is more sof collars for high stiff ones; anc they don't wear many dcrbies an! more -- two very small changes O no great consequence.

HARTFORD LOOKS TO DEMOCRATS

The news percolates from Hart ford that this is going to be good year for the Democratic party In that city. How true this is remains to be seen, but there seems to be some reason for iusti- tvng Democratic success in the state capital.
 This Is believed particularly likely in view of the scratching Of tickets that seems 10 be in sight over the battle for county sheriff. Ex- Sheriff George H. Gabb is a popular man in Hartford. as he is in New Britain, and his run against Sheriff Edward W. Dewey is eX- pected to stimulate Hartford poli- tics as nothing else will do this year.
 The chances are more than even that the city of Hartford will go Democratic, with two or three Democratic senators and two rep resentatives going to the 1egisla- ture," remarks the puissant Spring field Republican.
 If Hartford is to give the Demo- crats a good total of votes, it is more than "an even chance" that Gabb will be elected; for it is diff ficult to see how Dewey can win with Hartford and New Britain giving majorities to Gabb. II doesn't pay to count chickens be- fore they are matched, of course but sometimes they can be esti- mated with something approaching accuracy.
 It is also not to be overlooked that the northern part of the county, where Attorney-General Frank F. Healy Of Windsor Locks is the king pin. is not likely to take kindly 10 the Republican candidates. This part of the county, in fact, is regarded as the last stronghold of official insurgency.
 It is not too much to expect Hartford 10 go Democratic in an off year. IL did so in 1922, when 1T gave Dutton nearly 5000 moro votes than if did Fenn. In 1924 with Coolidge running for tho presidency, so many forgot tc split their ticket in Hartford that the landslide yielded the Ropubli- cans a mo jority of 6.ooo. There is no presidential landslide this year and Hartford will not yield G,0QC majority 10 anybody. Tn fact. the wiseacres say they have reason to think, the majority will be more like that Of 1922. 1T this Is 10 he the case Cabh can look forward tC the outcome with the Quintcssoncr Of prediction optimism.
