CAPTA.II IyILKIIIo D C1I)S;5 UNDER
 ARCTIC MA SUB CONSIDERS PLAN NC MORE DAN GEROCS, EVEN LESS, THAN
 AIRPLANE FLIGHT

NEW YORK, March 30, (P)- 3.r Captain George Wilkins an- -.ounced he is considering voy- .ge across the North Pole in ,ubnlarine either this or next year.
 Commander Sloan DanehoWer, vecnnlcal expert of the Lake Sub .larlne Company, who plans to --aVlgate the craft, said the sub -.!elslDle which will be used is be- .ng 11tted out at the company's works at Bridgeport.
 Wilkins said the idea of sup- marine trip across the Arctic Sea las been in the minds of designers and explorers since 1899 when Simon Lake, advanced it.
 Stefansson and Peary both con- sidered it.
 On the face of it it seems risky as a mathematical hazard. I con- sider it no more risky, even less so, than an airplane flight over the Polar Seas" Wilkins said.
 The trip will be undertaken dur ing the month of July and will last only two or three weeks The submarine will be equipped with a special diving lock through which a diver might be sent out to blast the ship free from retaining ice; it will also have a bar sloping up from the bow to the coming tow CT to ease it under unseen ice bergs.
 The undersea craft will carry a large quantity of chemicals with which to melt ice Wilkins said there was dire need for such a trip in order to get information at to the depth of the ocean and ,o determine if it is of conical de- 0reSsion or a basin. Data concern ng currents would also be ob- aimed.

LUTHER BAKER |S HUNG FOR MURDER
 IF SHERIFF WOOD
CONDEMNED MAN WENT TO SCAFFOLD CALMLY; OUT
 WARDLY UNMOVED

WALLA WALLA, Mar. 30. (F- Luther Baker was hanged at the penitentiary for the murder or Sheriff Lester Wood, in Vancouver, May, 1927.
 The condemned man went to his death calmly, outwardly unmoved during the proceedings, as well as during his last night in the death cell. On the scaffold he thanked prison officials for their kind treat ment since he was brought to the penitentiary. Thanks were his last words. His brother Ellis, serving a life term for the same murder, visited the condemned man yester- day afternoon.

edict of Paris? Or will she, for once, exert

who find the bobbed hair not only more COM

GA S for the skirts. while they are already a
bit longer, / do not believe they will
return to ankle length-at least for daytime
wear. The fapper simplicity Of dress gives
greater freedom of movement and greater COM
fort. 1t is naturally the most practical sensible
style to wear, whether for business or sports
purposes Most important of all, it is healthier.
Instead of the body being swathed in extra
yardage, it is left free and unhampered With
short skirt one isn't liable to collect the dust
and germs of the street and so subject one
self to the risk Of disease. Just when doctors
are Fundamentally indorsing the modern style
Of dress, 1t would be absurd to return to old,
unhygienic fashions.
"A few inches of skirt below the knees,
though, win be an added improvement to the
style, giving the Inuch-needed dignity and grace
that have been lacking, besides being boon
to the woman who does not happen to possess
q pair of perfect legs.
"A point that most every one is inclined to
overlook is that clothes should interpret the
spirit Of the day. The spirit of our time is that
OF youth and freedom. Certainly long, cumber-
some skirts are incompatible with this spirit"
Mrs. Oelrichs felt that psychologically the
happer style was OF such benefit to woman that
1t would be distinctly for her good to adhere
to 1t, even If Paris regarded it as passe.
"As Is well known" she said, clothes have a

"Of course, one may say that the reason why
the average woman today Is so young for her

physical stagnation by keeping her mind active.
That is very true, but without the short skirts
the slim figure and the bobbed hair to give the
happy psychological effect, she would have more
difficulty in hiding her birthdays and in being
interested in the affairs of youth. The fuller
lines which Paris is trying so hard to make
popular are bound to make woman look older
to say nothing of devitalizing somewhat the
feeling of youth.

success in their attempt but this season finds
them gaining more headway. The styles seen
in the fashion magazines and the smartest
shops give every indication Of approximating
those of the nineteenth century.
On the other hand It needs only casual
observation to- see that the great majority of
women are still ignoring these sartorial changes.

The World and All
SHOES
By Charles y. Drtseon

About one man in ten still asks for high shoes in a
New York shoe store. but fewer than that percentage
actually buy the high shoes. The statesmen are obliged
to confess that they have very little choice Of styles in
high shoes. A nationally famous shoe company that
made forty styles Of high shoes for men only five years
ago, now makes only four such styles, and next year
may reduce the line to two styles.
In brief. the high shoe for men is about gone, ex-
eept, as a means Of bracing very weak ankles, or for
old men who think it not worth while to accustom
themselves to the growing demand for low shoes.
As for cold ankles, they can be protected by spats
or wool socks. l have two friends, however. who have
their high shoes made 10 order, and insist upon the
hooks for easy lacing. in place Of eyslets, in the upper
part of the shoes.
Chiosgo's tastes and demands in shoes are exactly
the same - New York's. | am told by the sales mana
GER Of : national shoe store chain. The percentage %
high shoes to low runs the same in Chicago. and style
Is Just as much valued there as in New York.
N st. Paul and Minneapolis more high shoes are
sold in the winter than in most other large cities, due,
probably. to the prevalence Of a little more snow.
Many men Of middle age have worn exactly the
same model Of footwear for twenty years. In some
cases the uppers have been discarded, but the last and
model remain the same. Men have a tendency to stay
with a certain make and style Of shoe. once they find
one that H. comfortable. This is particularly true Of
men who have had foot trouble.
In New York competition IN the shoe business Is
fast and easy for the customer 20 sense. There is one
block on Forty-second street, from Fifth avenue Ia
Sixth avenue. with stores on the uptown side Of the
street only. since the Library and Bryant park occupy
the other side of the street.
IN this one block, on one side Of the street there
are, as | write, sixteen shoe stores. most Of them sell
ing women's shoes only.
Between Broadway and Grand Central Terminal. on
this same Forty-seeond street, there are more than
thirty shoe stores. and az least enc Of the mems shoe
stores remains open al night.

stated publicly, and also privately 70 him.
Before congress convened in December / gave oct
a statement to the effect that on account of the farm
relief situation an extra session Of congress was in
evitbale in ny judgment. and that il would include
revision Of the tariff.
When Mr.. Hoover arrived in Hampton Roads on nj.
return from the South American goodwill tour. he va.
handed a statement from me to the effect that in ny
iudgmsst Ar extra session should be called on or about
April IL. to consider farm legislation and a resdjust
ment of some Of the tariff rates.
on his arrival in Washington I saw him personally
and repeated the suggestion I had made to him in writ
isr. i was my belief then, and still is. that BY hold,
inE the tariff hearings during the short session o.
congress, 4 proper tariff bill could be drawn ard ready
for action in the house by April Is. At the same time
I suggested that In order to save time the senate have
ready a farm bill. and that consideration Of the farm
bti should 20 on in the senate while the tariff bill il
being considered IN the house. As soon as considers
ton Of either bill i finished 1t would 20 10 the othel

In my opinion no other general legislation should b
taken up al the special session since concentration
upon two important matters would mean not cnl,
quicker. but better results in legislation.
