War and the scarcity Of ma
teriaIs brought on short dresses, :"
said Jacques Worth. Happily,
normally postwar conditions are
bringing back normal dress comdi-
lions as we'll. There is no question
that the war lowered moral
standards and dresses were short
ened. Men were scarce and women
were obliged to vie with each other in
attractiveness. These conditions are
changed. Medesty has become the
watchwOrd and we dressmalers are
among the first to back 1t up and
support it. e
Jean Patou. another noted au
thority upon styles and one of the
leading dressmakers OF continental
Europe, gave assurances that the
trend Of Women's skirts Is now
downward.
II never did advocate dresses
above the knees said M. Patou.
Every woman cannot wear dresses
OF this sort, anyway, and ] would
prefer styles that may be worn BY
every one.
Pope Plus XII delivered his stern.
rebuke against modern. dress style
in his first Lenten utterance in the.
consistory hall OF the Vatican, at
Rome, on Sunday. He said the
Shameless immodesty OF modern
women's attire Is an Insult to the
eyes Of God.

NATIONAL PARKS
NOT FOR WORKERS
Wage Slavery in Mount
Rainier
(Bg q Worker Correspondent)

by q Worker Correspondent
SEATTLE, Wash, (By MaiD.
Mount Rainier national park is a
beautiful, cool place when the hot
winds of summer beat heat into a
workers face. Mount Rainier rises
high, capped with snow, father of
glaciers and ice-cold roaring streams.
There are many people here try
ing to get back to nature and the
soil, trying to forget the dusty re-
lentless city.
The workers are here, of course.
You find them everywhere, wherever
dirty work has to be done. The
workers are in the park, blasting
rock, digging bitches, laying cork
screw roads into the very heart of
the park. You see them here, with
shovels, picks, you see them driv-
ing trucks and teams of horses, you
see them swathed in dust.
We met one worker who had just
been fired. He had been shipped
here from Portland, which reports a
large surplus of labor, had worked
two days and half, and was then
canned" He was bitter in denun-
citation of the boss, and swore that
he was as good worker as the next.
Why" we asked him, "were you
canned them" He told US that
everything on the mountain depend
ed on the whim of the boss, and in
the present instance, he had been
canned because the boss wanted to
make room for a few personal
friends of his. And to be canned
here means something, for a fiji
teen or twenty mile walk down a
winding corkscrew road in a high
altitude isn't fun.
The workers get $3.50 per day.
This isn't as munificent as it sounds.
Out of that $3.50 they have to pay
$1.50 for board and room-typical
CANDY dancing grub, too-a like
amount for compensation and hos
pital fee per month, and few other
minor" expenses l have forgotten
now.
No, fellow workers, the national
parks do not belong to us. When
they want new road, new build
ing, a new track, a new bridge, they
call on US, but the woods, rivers,
and mountains don't belong to us.
They belong to the bourgeoisie, our
masters who can afford to take a
vacation. How long will it be be-
fore the parks are workers inter
