Text of Resolution


 Text of Resolution
 The resolution read as follows.
 "Whereas, women in attaining their enfranchisement and admis- sion to public office, 10 the profess sions and to business, have also achieved a manner Of dress that combines comfort, healthfulness and functional beauty, and
 Whereas. said manner of dress is now threatened by commercial in. terests which, in the expectation of greater profit through more rapid style changes, are attempting to foist upon us the long skirt, tight waist and feminine details, and
 Whereas, such style changes will not only restrict the activity of women and add materially 10 the dress budget, but will consume time and atten- tion, be injurious to health and pro- duce a psychological affect adverse to the further progress of women.
 "Therefore, be it resolved, that the Connecticut League Of Women voters declare It's opposition to tue movement to change women's dress in the direction of greater restric- tion and pledge itself to use it's in- fiuence against the dictation of the new style"
 That the resolution found little fla vor with the delegates was evident as soon as it was presented on the floor. Mrs. Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington called 1t contrary to the principles of the league in that it was being considered with out sufficient investigation of the problems involved" and refused to of New Haven, the only supporter, besides Mrs. Dadourian. who claimed that such action would be in accord with the policy of the league to re- sist advertising and high pressure salesmanship as means of reducing living costs
 Mrs. Hiram Percy Maxim of Hart ford, asked the gathering to conjure Up a picture of the situation which would be created by the league in attempting to stand against the change in mode.
 Picture group Of women, all in long dresses, and among them q league member, with skirts up to her knees. It is an obviously impossible situation,' said Mrs. Maxim.

from the department, but only after the
consent of the officer concerned and the

that in the event that corps area COM

quota, to utilize Reserve officers VINO

Another unit organ has made its APP
pearance in the form of the 29th Mill

breezy, four-page mineograph sheet, 1uil
of ambitious promises for the grown

sprinkling of personal anecdotes al
fecting the company personnel.
The announcement Is made, however,
that the company has taken over prac-
ticallv the entire third floor of the arm
ory, for its quarters, and its members
have been tearing out partitions OF the
small hotel rooms and making attrac-
tive quarters. Members of the COM
mand have individually and collectively
furnished the quarters with phono-
graph, records, rugs, kitchen utensns,
lamps, pictures, draperies, and the pc
ginning of a library. However, it Is
pointed out that many otter things are
needed in the way of equipment.
Another service paper to show up is
COMPANY D Tales, detailing the &C
Invites of the organization commanded
by Capt Samuel d. Turner. Among It's
articles is one announcing that MAI.
Julian S. Diff, commanding the "a
Battalion. inspected the property OF the
company last week, and adding that ne
was "favorably impressed with its gen.
eral condition"
REQUESTS are contained in 1t for all
members having property out to turn IL

they are likely to find themselves
charged with it on the next drill pay
roll.
In concerted effort to have as large
an attendance of the units of the Guard
at the annual encampment in August,
the dates have been published TO the
various commands and each member
has been instructed to show copy OF
the order to his employer and make
the necessary arrangements for leave
of absence at the time ordered.
The men have been urged to take
this action promptly, as it is believed
that employers generally will strive to
make the necessary arrangements for
their men if given plenty of notice,
whereas if it is delayed there is pos
sibility that the leave cannot be granted.
Short notice of the time of the en-
campment which results in refusal of
the employer to let his employees go. has
been used in some instances as an ex-
cuse by the soldier for not attending
the encampment.
However, it is believed that more
men will make every effort to secure
leave this year. because Of the fact
that the majority of the organizations

SAHARA SUBWAY
Tunnel Under Desert Is Con-
sidered, With Bore at
Gibraltar.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. March ga subway across
the Sahara Desert is being seriously
considered along with the project for a
tunnel under the English Channel and
the Spanish dream of a floating bridge
or tunnel to span the Strait of Glib
raltar
Fantastic as 1t sounds and high as
would be the initial cost, no other sat-
isfactory method of rapid transit across
the shifting sands has been offered.
France is determined to run a rail-
road across the Sahara, for both eco
nomic and military reasons. Parlia-
ment has ordered thorough investi-
cation of the problem and technical
commission already has begun a study
that may require year or more. I'm
fortunately, If the idea is good, its ex-
ecution presents difficulties.
Autos Cross Desert.
For six years there have been oc-
the desert, but that form of travel is
rejected as absolutely inadequate. For
one thing, it is considered impossible to
transport troops rapidly in that way.
AS for a railroad the problem Is to
find some means of keeping the rails
clear of sand. The Sahara is not all a
dry sea of sand There are vast
stretches of barren, rocky or pebbled
surface where it is practicable to make
a solid right of way for railroad.
There are. however. at least 125
miles where shifting sands are quite as
volatile as poets and travellers have pic
tured them, where clear hard road Is
obliterated in a few hours. where hills
OF sand block the way in the morning
and by night are blown off and hol-
low bored by the steady blast of hot
wind
Some engineers have told the COM
mission the only way TO keep the sand
in place would be 10 plant vegetation,
but that would require water, which is
not there. Probably. too, the seeds

would be blown away before they took
root so that plan is deemed impossible
by most experts.
Others proposed building shields, but
experiments and observation indicated
sand dunes soon would overtop them.
Then the problem would be as it was
in the beginning.
The tunnel idea offered by a French
engineer. Paul Remy, contemplates a
metal tube supported on sort of
sunken skeleton viaduct of cross-ties
and piles. The tube would make 1t
simple to lay telephone and electric
cables across the desert and might
house, also, water and gas pipes.
In time the desert winds would sub
merge the tube in the sand, insulating 1t
from the intense heat and making
travel safer and more comfortable than
by an open-air train. The power
would be electric.

Fined for Failure to Fight Fire.

The conservation department Of the
State of New York Is dependent upon
volunteer firefigfiters to supplement the
efforts of the forest rangers and fire
wardens, and the conservation law pro-
vides that any person called out to tight
fire must respond. Failure to do so is
a misdeameanor and subjects the in
dividual to penalty. Cases of this
sort are rare, but one such was recently
called to public attention when a fine
of s125 was collected from a resident
of the interior of the State for failing
to respond hwen he was called upon
by fire warden to help extinguish
fire in the forest. The incident occurred
several years ago and its merits have
been duly aired In the courts, where
the fire warden was supported.

STARTS BUS ROUTE INQUIRY.
Utilities Commission Seeks to Reorgan-
ize Interstate Schedule.

The Public Utilities Commission has
begun an inquiry into the routes fol-
lowed by all interstate buses entering
Washington, with view to reorganiz-
ing all routes so that the BUSES will fol-
low the simplest possible routes to and
from their terminals in washington.
The investigation will also look to cut
ting down the number of terminals al
lowed to be visited by the lines, it is
understood. In some cases the BUSES
visit several hotels and terminals dur
ing their course through the city.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton of the commission by an applica-
ton of the Nevin Bus Lines, Inc, TO
change their route by adding loop
around the block bounded by Fifteenth,
Fourteenth and F streets and Pennsyl-
vania avenue in order to pick up pas
sengers at bus terminal at 1927 Penn
sylVania avenue. Their terminal is on
Fourteenth street just above Pennsyl-
vania avenue. In discussing the appli-
cation. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chair
man of the commission, remarked that
it would be a much simpler solution of
the problem for the passengers waiting
at 1921 Pennsylvania avenue to walk a
half block to the Fourteenth street
terminal than for the buses to loop
through one of the most congested por-
lions Of the city to accommodate them.
The investigation also is directed to-
ward determining whether all of the in
terstate lines follow the routes pre-
scribed in the orders of the commission
allowing the lines entering the city. 1t
is understood that already two cases
have been discovered where the routes
have been changed apparently without
the commissions opinion.
