Stern Colonial Laws
Barred All "Frippery''

Many laws that seem queer to
us now were passed in Colonial
times, among them the following,
issued by the general court of Mas
sachusetts in 1889:
Whereas, there is much COM
plaint of the excessive wearing of
lace and other superfiuities tending
to little use or benefit, but to the
nOurishment of pride and the eX-
hausting Of mems estates, and also
of evil examples to others; It's
therefore ordered by the court, and
decreed, that hencefOrth no per-
son whatsoever shall presume to
buy or sell within this jurisdiction
any manner Of lace to be worn or
used within our limits. And that
no tailor, or any other person what
sOever, shall hereafter set any lace
or points upon any garment, either
linen, w0Olen, or any other wearing
clothes whatsoever, and that no
person hereafter shall be employed
in making any manner of lace, but
such as shall and will transport the
same out of this jurisdiction, who
in such case shall have the liberty
to buy the same.
"And that hereafter no garment
shall be made with short sleeves,
whereby the nakedness of their
arms may be discovered in the
wearing thereof, and such as al
ready have garments made with
short sleeves shall not, hereafter,
wear the same, unless they cover
the arms to the wrist with linen or
otherwise. And that hereafter no
person shall make any garment for
women with sleeves more than half
an ell wide in the widest place
thereof, and so proportionable for
larger or smaller persons. s."-Kan-
sas City Star.

Giant Airplane VIII
Carry SO Passengers

Dallas, Texas.-Giant airships
with cabin accommodations for fifty
or more passengers will be an ac-
complished fact within the next five
years, ii. ]. McNally, general traf-
fic manager for the Universal Avia-
tion Corporation of Chicago, said
while in Dallas to establish south
western traffic department for his
company.
According to McNally, the giant
airplanes of the future will have a
wing spread of 300 to 400 feet. The
present cabin plane and fuselage,
which offers surface resistance to
flight, will be eliminated, he pre-
diets.
"a normal cruising speed of 300
or more miles per hour is probable.
The airplane manufacturing plants
are turning out larger and larger
engines. The size of the future
plane will only be limited by the
power provided by the motors. We
are now carrying hundreds Of gal
Ions of gasoline and hundreds of
pounds of baggage In the wings
and the possibility of also carrying
passengers there, thus eliminating
the cabin, is mathematical one"

earthquakes or of purposed human
destruction, for the delight and
wonder of all behOlders.
The two bridges, which lead from
the Forum side of Rome to the is

bridge across the Tiber, north of
Rome, built to carry the Flaminian

years old, which has seen steady
and hard use and still appears as
