 The ceremony lasted only three minutes. On the top of the oaken box 3 few flowers were scattered, They included the withered pale blue blich. presented to Clemenceau by a French corporal in 1917. and which he had preserved in his li- btary. The handful Of blue blos- sons offered by Sir Basil XaharoI, another old friend, also were among the floral offerings at the grave.
 There had been no attempt to tidy the woods for the ceremony. The Tiger for years had resisted any at tempts to clear out the briars ot his beloved woods overlooking the StyX-like river Petit Lay. The wee Is had grown w'ld. choking all paths up to the wind blown cliff above which Clemenceau chose as his final final resting place.

 It had been his theory that mans destiny was to return to nature in it's simplest form. And thus he wos returned.
 Monument at Tomb
 At the foot Of the tomb of his father and his own grave stood the marble monument which he had had erected several years ago. It was the work of the sculptor Sicard and represents q helmeted Minerva designed by Clemenceau himself from sketches he made during a voyage through Greece long ago.
 All night long while the funeral cortege of five cars moved swiftly oyer the 223 mile road from Paris the crowds had gathered, trampling the field of Colombier farm into mud. but at daybreak gendarmes from the woods.
 Even the Tigers beloved neigh bors, who for years had jealously guarded the secret of the location of his grave from curious tourists, were prevented from approaching the burial plot. The Tiger had played in those field as a boy and as 6 man he had pulled many political strings to obtain favors for his neighbors but he was not privileged to grant them the last favor of standing beside his grave as he was lowered to the "dreamess sleep which he envisioned as death.
 There were no official representa- tives of the government at the grave, only the Tigers son. Michel, his two daughters Madames Jacquc- maire and Young. his grandson, Dr. Andre JaCquemairc, two two ser wants, Albert and Francois, and a few close personal friends.
 Albert and Francois had been the last to receive the conscious good bye of the statesman. Just before his death he had kissed their hands in a wordless farewell which be- trayed for one moment his gesture of defiance to all who sought to keep him from meeting death fighting '
 Last to Leave Grave
 The two faithful retainers were the last to leave the grave. After the family and all others had de parted through the rustIing leaves. Albert and Francois stood with barred heads in the chill drizzle, lingering for one last tribute.

Boston. Aug. , P-Trousers for women are becoming an ally of the cotton industry in a fashion world which has continuously decrecc short skirts during the past few years.
 Beach pajamas. overalls and trou- sers cut sailor fashion with a pirate sash are the 1929 mode in the evo- lution of trousers which began with the boomers worn by the daring few during the bicycle craze.
 So widespread is the use of such garb becoming that the style ad- visory board of the National Asso- citation of Cotton Manufacturers suggests; in it's monthly report is sued recently that women through out the country will don pajamas for house wear. and even porch and lawn use, within a year.
 The present vogue for trousers
 'The present vogue for trousers worn with bicycling costvmes,' the report sets forth. At that time there was a loud outcry against disappearing femininity, breaking up of the home, subservience or men. etc.
 But the entrance of women into the field of war work was a diff ferent story. It was considered ., noble duty to discard feminine fri f1 pI women donned overalls in factories and uniforms were almost general.
 ''Trousers for women during tn period between 1919 and 1924 meant mems knickerbocllers. worn for any possible excuse. The idea was there to stay So fashion decided to capi- taliZe it.

 ASseSsnr Claims Dfii,e


 An interesting point involved Tn the invalidaton of the laws con- cerned former tax assessor who went into office under one law and was removed from office under an- other. The former assessor now -claims that both laws. each or which was invaldated by the court ruling. have gone back on the states i books and that the first law takes precedence over the second-ln other words he is an assessor again. Attor- ncys discussing this case said the former assessors uncertainty and ms claims might have been dissipated II the invalidated laws were reenacted one by one. Had this been done they declared the governor could have selected for signature first all those laws wanted in effect first and given approval to all others later, timing each case by his watch so that those signed first would be in effect first. Thus, if the first law affecting tn" former assessor were signed hali minute after the second. the former assessor would still be "a former assessor" As if is now. some legal minds believe he has a ''chance In the courts.'
 Some Situations Past Redemption One senator-lawycr pointed out | that the six blanket bills failed 10 I validate specific performances under some acts. the time for these per l {, I,, l., bila thnSp i in authority awaited relief from the situation created by the supreme court decision. These acts pertain i ed to a single performance or car ried clauses authorizing single per | [ormances. on definite dates. One such act was that authorizing a ref crendum in West Haven on the question of consolidating with Orange This was set for August l. i out was not held because the act authorizing it was invalidated.

 Various attorneys of either party pointed out that the supreme colr; decisicn invalidated the jury law un- Ser which the jury which convicted Gerald Chapman, notorious slayer was impanelled. If there is any doubt as to the validity of the law now, and doubt particularly as 10 the validity Of the retroactive feature of the criminal blanket bill which he- facilitated the law ther Chapman illegally convicted. was illegally hanged. Chapman was executed or April 4, 1926.
 GmlfOy1e Case Another
 By the same reasoning these law vers point out, Harold Guilfoyle Hartford slayer of Mrs. Claire Gdu- dette of New Haven was Illegally convicted and therefore illegally sen fenced to life imp prisonment. Gull- foyle was tried by three judges pro vided for in an act which was among Jy these judges.
 All the democratic leaders natural ly still hold 10 the theory expressed on the floor of both houses ycsterda :, that the only effective means of re- storing the validity of the 15O0 odd laws would have been consideration and enactment of them one by one.
 The invalidation of the laws they contend automatically gave them thf status of never having existed and their enactment by "reference' they consider tantamount to "elccting tt office a person who never existed.
