If brevity is the soul of wit, our
colthing is at it's funniest. Some say
that skirts are coming down peg.
They will still be high above the dust
and germs of the street, but not so
far above, by an inch.
Materials are softer and filmier
than ever. Crepes are very popular
and woods have the gauziness of chif-
fon. The lace gown is as stylish as
ever and comfort to the woman who
travels, as it does not muss.
This is to be a color season:
canary yellow, rose pink, sky Jlue
and grass green. AS the athletic girl
continues, sport clothes are to be in
vogue The incoming shoes march
along in gay shades, from rosebiush
to parchment" Shoes match gowns

A few suits are appearing for bus

color is black or navy blue. The one
piece dress is holding it's own; but
the two piece dress, of skirt and over
blouse, is also popular. Colors for

the new silk frocks that may be

The ensemble comes in the pop

as leopard or calf is very much
approved for the spring coat, SINCE

Dame Fashion Is Kind This Spring
BY HARRIET

WE owe Dame Fashion a vote OF
w thanks, for she is being eX-
ceedingly kind to us this spring.
The newest clothes show no radi-
cal changes, no arbitrary DEGREES,
but a perfection of the lines and
fabrics already established.
Skirts for instance may be knee
length-the knee itself really
should influence the selection-Or
it may be a few inches below.
Fashion has no desire to make
cariatures OF US.
Many French designers are eX-
plotting the raised waistline, but
there is no insistence upon it. The
waistline indicated just above the
hips is too comfortable and too
becoming to be relinquished.
Plcatcd Skirts
Skirts are pleated either In
front. at the sides, or all way
around, just to suit the individual.
And ii you want to get through
the spring and summer the cas-
lest possible way, you will stick
to pleated skirt and variations of
the jumper OverblOuse.
Sleeves are, for the most part,
long and rather elaborately
treated with intricately cut cuffs,
and cuffs that extend from wrist
to elbow, scalloped, embroidered,
or inset with lace Undoubtedly
the summer will bring the sleeve
less frock, particularly for sport
and resort wear.
In materials silks and chiffons
share popularity with wool. The
soft Jerseys and tweeds in pastel
colors, as we'll as the spongily
woven basket weave materials, are
absolutely the rage for spring.
For the Afternoon
For summer, the chiffon frOck,
printed or plain, or the new lace
and georgette combinations as
we'll as plain dyed lace, with the
large hat, will be the correct aft
ernoon attire.
For general wear, the simple
type of one-piece dress, with belt,
patch pockets and a simple neck
treatment, developed in crepe de
chine, printed damask, satin, or
any of the thinner crepes, will di-
vide honors with the two-piece
jumper outfit.
Hats show tendency to follow
the popularity established winter
modes. The small hat may be Of
felt, straw, ribbon, or the knitted
straws, and will shower its atten-
tion on the crown rather than the
brim, which will be quite negligi-

cut out, embroidered or plain, but
they must give the suggestion OF

the actual outline of the head is
not so definite as the cloche

BIGGEST TREE

Arizona's S Brave Women

CLIFTON-A gigantic cottonwood
tree on the Triangle Bar ranch, 22
miles northwest of Clifton at the
mouth Of Dix creek on the San Fran
cisco river, is so large that w. N.
(BilD Taylor, owner of the ranch, is
afraid it will crowd him off the place
Fifty square miles has been the range
Of the Triangle Bar at various times
during the past SO years
Taylor, in Clifton Saturday for sup
plies, said the United States forest
service has decided that the tree is
the largest cottonwood in Arizona.
Asked how big it is Taylor replied
that the tree is "a steps around, of
72 feet; 26 feet around at breast
height. He said the tree goes Is feet
up before putting out limb and
that the total height is between 125
and $50 feet. The trunk is as straight
as an arrow, he said
"How old is she?" he was asked.
'It's not she, it's he," Taylor cor
rected. "If it were she don't know
what would become of us when it
showed down it's crop of cotton, and
strangers would think they had been
caught in an Alaska blizzard and write
home about it, He doesn't produce
any cotton and for that | am thank

Nobody knows how old he is.
have been told cottonwood trees live
forever. If that is true, then this one
must nave been born before time be-
gan and was the Adam of the whole
race of cottonwoods. From present
indications, also, he shows no dispo-
sition to die, so l presume he will be
here when time merges into eternity
again"
Although Taylor talks about the
tree sometimes, it nevertheless holds
tender place in his heart, for not
far from it's enormous trunk is buried
Mrs. Piper, brave wife of the first
owner of the ranch, who with Piper
resisted until riddled with bullets,
an attack by Apache Indian raiders in
the early eighties. Piper was serious
ly wounded during the battle, but
when able to do so he summoned help
and buried his wife near the old tree.

OLD TIME RANCHER

worn bloused, as illustrated, or

the straight-line effect that is
rather more becoming to the short

the vogue for simplicity and the

DISINTERESTED WITNESSES

Three bills before the Ohio legislature deal with the
expert witness problem in trial courts One of them,
already passed by the lower house and waiting for
senate action would provide that in civil actions the
Judge of the trial may appoint not more than
three dsneresed qualified experts to investigate and
testify under oath and to make a fair and impartial
examination and true report Their compensation is
to be fixed by the county and collected as part of the
court costs.
The other two bills make like provision for criminal
and insanity cases.
All three of the bills have the approval of the Amer
lean Bar Association and the American Medical Asso-
ciation II they become law and properly enforced
they should hit directly at one of the outstanding
abuses of present court practice
The conflicting testimony of experts hired by the
opposing sides in any law has come to be rdicu
lous and disgusting spectacle 1t has not only helped
TO foster the popular conviction that the whole truth
Is never sought by either side in trial but also helped

obvious that the experts both sides cannot be equal
