London. April 17 --- The lord chamberain's office and fashionable modStes of the West End of London and in Paris are at great var lance as to how long the skirt of a fashion able gown should he.
 -Four or five inches from the ground" is the edict of Queen Mary which has remained un- changed for several years in spite of the eX- posed knees which Paris designers have been ravoring
 Women presented at the court of St. James have been compelled to listen 10 the dress regulations set forth by the lord chamberlatn's office and there Is no indication that there will be any modification in the rule about skirt lengths.
 Many drcssmakors have made requests that the regulations be altered to allow this years court dresses to bo eight inches from the ground, but their request has been refused by the queen who thinks that enough considera. ton has been shown 10 present fashions by al- lowing trains 10 be IS Inches long instead of the former regulation length of four yards. Fashionable dressmakers In London. how. ever, say eight or nine inches from the floor Is tho really smart length, especially for young women. The shortening Of tho court trains has done much to improve the grace of depu- tantes' walking and curtsoying before the royal throne. Long trains have been responsible for many social tragedies at courts One foreign woman became so entangled in her train at recent court that she fell flat.

TUGBOAT MEN ARE
 BACK ON THE JOB
Strike Settled With Increase
 in Wages

New York. April 17 R,-Three thousand striking. tug-bodsmen, whose precipitato walk-out threat ened 10 paralyze an unusually busy weekend In New York harbor, re- turned to work today with most of their demands satisfied. The strike lasted just 24 hours.
 More than 10 vessels, including r passenger liners, due to sail today were facing serious disarransement of their schedules before tho strike was settled.
 The situation already had become acute when the agreement was reached last night. Two trans Atlantic liners, tho La Savoie and the Berengaria. were tied up at Quarantine, and the Olympic and the Pennland, departing, left their piers with only one tug each. SeV- cral usually are employed 10 move these biz ships,
 The boatmen and tow-boat own CTS reached an agreement at meet ing of their respective organizations, the New York Tow boat Exchange and the Associated Marine Workers.
 A hundred tow boat owners op- erating most of the 400 privately. owned tugs in the harbor, signed 1.-the agreement. Several hours earlier, 6 separate settlement had been reached with nine Of the com panies. including the Cornell Steam boat company, which operates 60 tugs.
 The workers were granted a 10- hour day, and compromise wage in- 1 creascs of from sl0 to $o5, instead Of the s10 to $50 raises they asked. They also were promised increases Of from 65 to S5 per cent in allow ances for food aboard the tugs. A part of the credit for the set tlement was attributed to q media , tor for the United States department of labor, rushed here from Wash ington. T. J. Williams, the federal mediator, ard NJ. J. Began. media tor for the New York state labor de- ! partment. persuaded the strikers to accept the compromise wage agree ment. and conferred at length witl, the owners 10 induce them to ac- cept the other demands.
 Even the strikers themselves were surprised by the speed with which an agreement was reached. The As 1 sociatef Marine Workers ordered the walk out unexpectedly Thursday night. The organization, though formed In 1929, had never before , tested its strength in q strike. and 8 prolonged struggle was antici- | pated.

Botanist Recalled as
Ben FrankIin's Friend

When Benjamin Franklin returned
from his long stay in England, where
he had spent much time with Peter
Collinson, the English bOtanist, he be-
came highly unpopular with the Amer
leans for a time, and his treatment
caused Collinson to write warning
letters to the English government, ex-
pressing the belief that America might
attempt a revolution for independence
from the mother country.
It was COllinsOn's information and
encouragement that first Induced
Franklin to interest himself in cleo
tricity and CollinsOn published his
friends experiments to the Royal So
ciety. defended him against their criti-
cism, and secured his election as a
fellow, says a writer in the Christian
Science Monitor.
AS a botanist CollinsOn obtained
many native plants from the early col
OnistS in America and distributed them
among landowners in England.
