WAVE OF reform
IN FEMALE DRESS
In Some Places Even Rolled
Hose Is Banned

Kansas City, April 8 (EFS) -
There seems to be a wave Of reform
sweeping the country in regard to
current styles of women's dress.
The other day it was Gloria Swan
son, who came out surprisingly
against short skirts and bobbed hair.
Then came word from Colingwood
n. j., that that town had made it a
felony for a girl to appear on the
streets dressed in knickerbocke rs
Now an edict Of Mrs. Mary ?. Van
Zile, dean Of women at the co-edu-
cational Kansas State Agricultural
college, forbids goods to roll their
stockings.
The girls have been very nice
about it, and there has been rush
on at the stores at Manhattan, Kan.
where the state college is situated
Dean Van Zile.
Mrs. Van Zile's pronunciamento
reads as follows:
while short skirts (knee length)
continue to be in style goods must
wear boomers which reach over the
top of the hose.
Wear raincoats buttoned over
bathing suits when going % and
from the homes to the bathing pools
in the city park.
Change the bathing suit for
street clothes before stopping any
where after a swim.
I'VE believe these standards al
ready are the standards of the ma
jority and in keeping with ideals
Of womanhood which our college is
proud to claim as hers. We are
counting on the loyalty of the wom-
en- students and the fine spirit of
cooperation they have always shown
rather than any force to make these
standards effective"

Lovers Quarrel Sent
Burbank to the West

A lovers tiff was the proximate,
if not the underlying cause of
Luther Burbank needing Horace
Greeley's advice to young men to
$50 West" He tells the story in
his life story. 1.-The Harvest of the
Years.
Il was very deeply fond Of a
beautiful yong lady"-it was in
1875, and the great naturalist was
twenty-six at the time - "who
seemed to me, remember, less
ardent than / was. A trifiing disa-,
greement, two positive natures,
probably hasty words-and ! deter
mined that my heart was broken.
"Mary and can look back on
those tragic days-for am sure
they were tragic to both of us
with smiles. Shortly after my ar
rival in California / wrote her or
she wrote me, and we resumed our
friendship by letter. The friendship
has been kept up all these years and
has been very significant to both of
us. Probably my Mary of those old
times has had many an occasion to
be thankful that took her at her
word when she told meas think
she must have-that I was not the
only eligible man in Massachu-
setts."-Kansas City Star.

Natural Reason Why
Most Gamblers Lose

DR.. George A. Dorsey, author OF
why We Behave Like Human Be
ings," has told in, the Cosmopolitan
why gamblers 'go broke" and do
not behave as human beings.
"a man of self-cOltrol," he
writes, mo matter what he has
lost, is able to keep his wits about
him, is always prepared for any
move. and when he has had enough
he knows il aud q;i;ts THAT same
man. winner or loser qiits when
he is tired ar when lie has bad
enough,
.'Phe man who does not behave
ike human being i'm gamble is
the man who, as a boy, has moi
learned TO PROFIT by experience. and
who has. not learned to use his
brain to get him out of difficulties.
but has hung on to his mothers
apron-strings or sought refuge in
flight or clustered his way out like
a beast.
And so, while we are all nat
ural-born gamblers, we are not
necessarily all good gamblers when
the stake is high or the situation
dangerous. We may fail in the
crisis; we may whine and SWIVEL
or run like whipped ours: or we
may buster and brag or fight like
senseless beasts. Or we may play
the game. There are gamblers
and gamblers"

Disuse of the Long rs"

The modern form of the letter
"s'' took the place Of the old
"f''-form of the letter very gradual
ly. For many years the round SIS"
was used in all parts of words ex-
cept the end, where the long IS"
was retained. John Bell, a London
publisher, was the first important
publisher to discard the long SIS"
and substitute the round "s' in all
words containing the letter. This
he did in his edition Of 1.-THE British
Theater," which was published
about 1775. The transition from one
form of the letter to the other was
almost simultaneous with the
American Revolution. In 1856 Ben
jamin Franklin wrote: 1.-THE round
50 begins to be the mode, and in
nice printing the long s. is rejected
entirely" After 1900 the old form
of IS" seldom appeared.

Singing Kettles

The Japanese manufacture in a
great variety of forms iron tea
kettles which break into song when
the water boils. The song may not
be perfect melody, but it is per-
haps as agreeable as the notes pro-
duced by some of the insects that
the japanese also treasure for their
music.
The harmonious sounds Of the
tea-kettle are produced by steam
bubbles escaping from beneath thin
sheets Of iron fastened closely to-
gether nearly at the bottom. To
get the best effects some skill is
required in regulating the fire. The
character of the sounds varies from
the form Of the kettle. These sing
ing kettles have been used for many
generations.

Clinking Glasses

The habit of blinking wine
glasses or tumblers together, and
the attendant wish of "good
health" originated in the days of
the Roman gladiators. 1t was the
custom before two gladiatcrs met
in combat, for each of them TO
drink glass of wine, supplied by a
friend of either of them. So that
no attempts would be made to poi
son either of the combatants, the
wine was poured from one glass to
another until the wines were well
mixed. Later, when poisoning be-
came thing of the past, this Gus
tom was reduced to the mere clink-
ing together of the glasses to de-
note friendship

 that we could hardly last to reach Si- beria. Our rations were now reduced to crackers and chocolate and this was fast disappearing. We divided the ra- tions with the understanding that each could use his choice in one big meal or string it out On the last day the food consisted of chocolate and water.
 On the last day before reaching land Captain Wilkins, scanning the white horizon with his glasses, announced that he saw a pole, which meant land. looked but could not see the pole where he pointed, Searching, l was covered a pole in an entirely different direction. The thought came to me: 'I wonder if we are seeing things, and the first hallucination is poles?
 We had not travelled long, however, before we came upon a sled track. We could tell that the driver was travelling light, because he was riding and had only a few dogs.
 We will only have to walk about 40 miles farther" said Captain Will kins. This was repeated frequently as we trudged along, both pretty tired and hungry
 Finally I picked up something with my glasses that looked like the roof of a house
 Lust a pressure ridge" said Will kins, "apd there is yet lots of walk ing"
 Finally we both agreed that what I had seen was a house; there could be no mistaking it. No smoke was ap- parently issuing from the chimney Wilkins remarked dryly: Some abandoned camp; all have gone hunt ing, maybe"
 Safety and Comfort
 Following instructions, the base planes had flown along the coast to all settlements dropping letters telling the people to be on the lookout for us People soon appeared, and shortly thereafter we arrived at Edwards road house, at Point Beechey
 The principal dish of our first meal after reaching civilization was a piece of whale skin with the blubber attacked, which had been baked. This is the first time I ever relished this stuff, and ate heartily.
 I discovered later why Wilkins was such klll-JOy when we were reaching safety. He wished to guard against the elation one feels at emerging from great danger and the nervous reac- tion that might have followed had the poles and house proved fanciies, caus- ing depression or loss of spirit to fight on.
 Anyone wishing to have polar joy ride may find a pretty good airplane perched up on pressure ridge some 25O miles out into the Arctic ocean.
