WOMEN AND NEW CLOTHES

The closhing specialist of the Texas Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college thinks that new
clothes make women feel more comfortable and
self possessed and that they act as physical tonic
She thinks that much of the self consciousness and
awkwardnes which many women feel comes from
the feeling that their clothes are not right.
Cynical people may remark that the average
woman does not need that advice, as she already
spends more than she can afford on her clothes
Still, when you consider how women sacrifice for
THEN families it is hard to feel that the average
woman is extravagant If some husbands could
cut out wasteful ways in which they spend money
heir wives would often be able 10 afford new gar
ments that would give them more confidence and
contentment

AMERICAN WOMEN THE BEST

Otto Kahn. noted financier ard patron of the
arts, paid wonderful tribute to the women of this
country, in an address given before a club meeting
in New York He said the United States produces
the finest type of womanhood i'll the world.
If the women of America have developed into
superior type il is because in this country they
have been considered the equals of men. In the
countries where they restricted TO an inferior
position, they felt restricted to inferior
tasks and pursuits, and have never developed all
sides Of their personality.

of 10 .000.O light years estimated by
cluster.
That these nebulae actually belong
to one system is indicated by their
concentration as compared with
regions of the sky nearby, where the
nebulae are much scarcer. OF the 1O3
in the group, says DIR. Shapley, two
thirds are within s degrees, or 10
times the diameter of the moon, of
the center, while 81 are within 3
degrees Of the center.
That the spiral nebulae, of which
many thousands are known in various
parts of the sky. are stellar systems
or galaXieS outside the system of
which the sun is a member was
shown last year by DR.. Edwin r.
Hubble of the Mount Wilson Observa-

two of the most conspicuous of them
These two were both shown to be
about 1000, 900 light years away. and
while they are considerably smaller

Way. they are very similar to it. Dr.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, August IL.
A modified injunction against strik-
ing members of the Typographical
Union was granted yesterday by
Judge Morgan Owen to two Charles
ton newspapers, the Daily Mail and
the Gazette.
Judge Owen granted that part of
the injunction dealing with intimlda
ton in picketing. He refused to en-
join alleged interference with news
boys and advertisers, holding that NO
evidence had been presented to SHOW
any such acts.
The judge drew a careful distinc-
ton between vigorous convincing
language" which he ruled was proper
in strike picketing, and the exercis
ing of coercion through fear, whether
actual force or violence be used or
not.
The union men went on strike when
they failed to reach a new agreement
with the papers. The publishers then
announced operations on an open shop
basis.
