Mitchell starrs Fireworks

Brigadier General William Nit. chell, former Chief of the U. S. Army Air Service and stormy petrel of that branch, started the fireworks that lead to speeches which, at times, had the assembly in turmoil. His own fiery speech was followed by many other re. marks and eventually many of these were stricken from the rec ards.
 The former Chief of the Army Air Service argued heatedly that while Europe is honeycombed with new "so-called commercial air lines which between night and morning may be turned into mill. tary weapons" the United States has been standing still.
 "It has been proven that a s15,00O-airplane can destroy in a few hours $7O,00O,OO0 worth ol battleships," Gen. Mitchell shout ed.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21. = Of 72 representative boxing and sporting writers who are here to attend the big heavy weight championship battle, 38 today said they were con- fident that Gene Tunney would win. Twenty-four of the remainder picked Jack Dempsey to regain the title while ten refused to go on record.
 Despite this predominancc among the writers of senti- ment for the champion, which naturally would be cs1rocted, there is a growing feeling on the part of the public, at least in that sec- tion represented by wagers, for the challenger, as is evil denced by the dropping of odds to six to five with prospects that it will be even money before the two men step into the ring to- morrow night.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Fl. - ln the fall the voters fancy turns to thoughts of politics, platforms and parties. Women are no ex. ception, it seems, to this rule, and organizations interested in the politicaI expression of women are laying plans for approaching cam paigns.
 Announcement has just been made by the Woman's National Democratic Club in Washington, D. C.. that during the early autumn it will stage national contest for the best Democratic slogan in 1928. This is the outcome of the widespread interest aroused by local slogan contest held by tho Club in May. which brought in not only a large number of entries from club members but comments and suggestions from all parts of the country.
 It's Not Partisan
 The National League for Wom- en Voters is not affiliated with any party. It's members, however, study the programs and accom- plishments of each. Suggestions for political study are being made now to members and chairmen of it's committees for choosing the topics which they will discuss with their colleagues before the p'i- maries begin.
 "The tariff is subject that all thinking women should be study ing" says Mrs. Harris T. Bald win of Washington, D. C., chair man of the living costs com mittee of the National League of Women Voters.
 "When reviewed in terms of Paris gowns and luxuries, the tariff seems far away and vague, hut when seen in terms of nee essities of life such as sugar. salt, cotton thread. knit goods. and cutlery, 1t becomes a grim reality" Mrs. Baldwin pointed out.
 Our sugar tariff bill is yearly about s216,OOO OO00. Is is too high or too low? Women as purchasers should consider this seriously"
 Women as voters must con- slider the tariff earnestly also when they cast their ballots because the party in power to a great extent controls the tariff main tained by the United States"
 Mrs. Baldwin has had exten- sive governmental training in mat ters dealing with living costs. She also attends all Congressional hearings and floor debates on legislation related to subjects in the Living Costs program.
 Before her marriage in 1922. Mrs. Baldwin was an. expert n the U. s. Department of Agri- culture, and in three years travel. ed in virtually every state con ducting special campaigns.
 Study Prohibition
 "Wet or dry?" is another ques. tion for which many enfranchised women believe they must find an answer.
 Members of the Women's Chris. tian Temperance Union through out the country will pay special attention to the question of pro hibition 5n all elections. At i,s annual convention just held in Minneapolis, Miss Laura volstead daughter of the author of the volstead Law, urged the assembly to pay attention to the political fields.
 With primaries approaching. with minor elections to be held locally and with choice of presi- dential candidates soon upon the voters, she urged the women to

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-Reg-
ular Army officers today may exercise
their own judgment in the choice of
undergarments, but it was not always
thus. A musty volume was recently
unearthed in the library of Col. Frank
c. Bolles, commanding officer of the
Preside of San Francisco, which dis
closes the fact that no less person
than Gen. George Washington. first
commander,in- chief of the American
Army, prescribed the color of the I'M
derwear which higher ranking officers
would wear.
The order was issued by Gen. Wash
ington at his headquarters at Short
Hills, n. j.. on June IS, 1880. and
read in part as follows:
The major generals to wear a blue
coat with buff trimmings. yellow fac
ings, white or buff underwear, with
two stars upon each of two epaulets
and a black and white feather i'll the
hat"
An injunction to soldiers to appear
tight but decent in those days might
cause recruiting stations to enjoy a
land office business. but Gen. Wash
ington had only the welfare of his
men in mind when he issued the fol-
lowing order from his headquarters in
New York on May 6. 1875:
80 AS it is absolutely neces-
sary that men should have clothes
and appear decent and tight, he ear
nestly encourages the use of hunting
shirts, with long breeches made of
the same cloth, gaiter fashioned about
the legs, to all those yet unprovided."
That the morale of the Continental
Army was greatly affected by the diff
ficulty of obtaining proper clothing
is indicated by the resolution which
Congress passed on October s, 1875:

Il SAMARKAND. Turkestan. March
24.-Turkestan is in a ferment over

By the Communists. The campaign
TO abolish the veil and liberate Moslem
women from the harem is gaining
great momentum. To date more than
5000 women in the Samarkand dis

4 The new emancipatory movement,
however, has been attended by some dis
astrous results. Mohammendan priests.

from the use of the veil by women
and the present clustered life of the
harem, have spread proclamations at.

naent as renegades, heretics and bias

numerous acts of violence by faEatical
Mohammedans not only against ad-
vocates of unwilling, but against
