But 70 Oftset This, Caprici0uS Woman Fl0u1tS the Slare Anklet, Ancient Symbol 0f Servihty to Man

This incident shows the male atti- tude. They want the woman to be mis- tress of the situation. It tiatters their dominance. When a man exchanges roles with the woman, be 1t remer- bered, and tries to be the captivator, his dominance gets away with him and he becomes sadistic.
 The second emotional reason or mo- tive for short skirts as worn by all women today is the exhibition of self. It is an old and true saying that every woman is an actress. She wants to show herself, draw attention.
 But do not forget that the one-piece bathing suit and the nude esthetic dance spring from vomans love drive tn submit herself. So when the skirt gets above the knee woman feel. she is giving herself.
 Now what is the effect of the short skirt on the nature of men and women? 1 repeat, the exposure of women's legs is one of the greatest constructive forces in civilization. It gives what is virtually continuous love stimulation to both sexes. This was totally lacking with the long skirt The short skirt gives construc- tiv. stimulus to physical love, whereas the long skirt smacked of the harem and it's hidden affairs
 The effect of the short skirt is cumulative, in that it keeps active the sex drive. which biologically is neces- sary and wholesome. As have pointed out, if skirts should go above the knee. the result. strange to say, would be more "moral' in the reformer sense, despite the carpings of the old generation.
 If women went back to the long skirt there would be revival of the street corner loafer watching women pass on windy days. Forum ately, today we are more moral in the best sense of that word than we were with the long skirt. The long skirt was q challenge to the dominance in men to break down a barrier. Under that regime there was less true love.
 If we examine the morality of prim- tive races, say as in the old South Sea Islands we have records to prove that in this cline, where men and women were nude, the people were happy, joyous. and more nearly lived a social life free from love combat
 It may be said with great truth that

by Sargent of the Countess of War wick and her son and the romantic painting called "The storm" by Cot?
 Walter Pach. celebrated art critic, painter and lecturer at the conserva.. tive Metropolitan Museum of New York. has started a furious contro versy by denouncing some of the most famous painters in the world ding Sargent and Cot, as false artists. He comes out flat footedly in book called "Ananias, or the False Artist" and says that many paintings such as "The Storm" are bad.

Is the final court of resort and control.
 It must be realized that women are sensitive, if not sensuous,. creatures end get a big kick out of their bare legs. So short skirts are not a style.
 It is a commonplace of science that all woman's receptory nerves remain attached to the love centers, whereas men have greatly developed inhibitions which disconnect these sensations from the emotions. In other words, we say man is thick skinned and not sensitive like woman.
 Therefore the woman accustomed to clothes when divested of them frees by this act many of her sensa- trns to allurement. This is why . woman in such conditions often reg isters the attitude of "helplessness," whereas a true, manly man in a bath ing suit reels physically stronger.
 As part of the ideal dress of the future, woman may or may not con- tinue the use of cosmetics, such as the lipstick and her "warpaint," though she probably will. This is one of her captivation and inducement weapons.
 As for her hair, it is inconceivable that for so long time she will con- tinue to disregard this captivaton weapon. Man, who has thrown it away, will probably return to it in the proportion that he finds woman more or less difficult to please.
 In discussing matters of dress, it is to be remembered they are not at all trivial, that nature has sought bio- logically to arrange the attraction of the sexes so the species may propagate and survive. Violent departures, ar ranged CT devised by money makers, lead to corruption and extinction of
New Britain herald., 1929-07-25

clothes have been the curse of the northern or white race, with the reser- vation that women should relatively wear more clothes than men. to keep their captivation balance.
 One of the curious manifestations of the emotions that crop out in the clothes of woman of today is found in the anklet or woven chain about the ankle. That $ a submissive trend that comes from frank exposure of the body and a symbol of the thrill woman gets out of being chained up.
 What about the ideal clothes of the woman of tomorrow? l have shown why she cannot go back to the huddle of the long skirt, with its dust-sweep- inss and its immoral functions But what will this creature wear to. morrow?
 If we consulted the wisdom of the ancients, we would put woman back in the harem, with the veil and the drapery skirts that hid her completely. That is the only true and exact man. ner of scX separation before marriage. Many peoples. among them the Chi nese, wrapped women up so completely that even her feet were encased.
 This manner of dress leads too far into impractical speculation. For the near future and the purely ideal psychological dress, certainly the skirt should be the halfway skirt for our civilization. Thereby woman indicates the proper amount of submission and yet retains her captivation appeal.
 Styles are too often considered as having a fundamental part in dress. Styles are merely the using of love emotions by the noneymaking ap- petite. Taste is a compliant matter, and should So govern and modify clothes inasmuch as the love emotion

 A host of questions are involved. Aside from the desatable ground Of the effect of the scanty clothing of women on the drygoods trade and the fashions, as we'll as that of health. the whole mora nature of men and women has been stirred in this age when too many are goddess.
 will show later in this article that the exposure of women's legs, merely to pick out the example of the evident result of short skirts, is in my opinion one of the greatest constructive forces in our civilization.
 But first let us examine the prob lem in detail.
 The drive behind bobbed hair is mostly and largely the expression of the new dominance and freedom of woman. She goes into business and sports and doesn't want to be bothered with the long, poetic. and beautiful adornment provided her by nature. As will be remembered, the custom came in during the World War, a releaser of emotions and destroyer of conventions, when women began to emerge from the harem-like life and surroundings.
 However. when we come to the lip stick, the sleeveless dress and the short skirt, old possessions of the bou- doir and the theatre brought outdoors by the World War, we are digging far deeper into the social life of our times. We touch sex, the seat of the emotions
 These three have two emotional mo- tives behind them.
 The first ia to vamp men, to serve the captivation drive of women to make men love and admire them. But there are shades of length and dis tinction which many women may use but do not understand
 For instance, the captivation drive cannot be enforced if the skirt is far rhove the knee. At that point the ef. feet on men is to make it a sign of sub. mission rather than induc
 This fact was lately pontedly illus trated in New York night club and restaurant where the women waitresses had bare legs and too-short skirts. Many of the men customers thought this too bad, pitied the girls and so told the proprietor of the place. She saw her fault in psychology and had the girls lengthen their skirts.

RI Times Speciot

Ry Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. 28.-
Approximately 900 students, most Of
whom are of mature age, are taking
high school work by correspondence
through the Indiana university ex-
tension divisions correspondence
study bureau. Offered primarily for
adults who have been unable to
complete high school courses, but
now wish to do so, according to Miss
Louise Rogers, secretary OF the
correspondence study bureau.
Miss Rogers announces the en-
tire four-year course has been prac-
tically completed by correspondence
through the bureau by Howard H.
Koenig, New York. Mr.. Koenig en-
rolled in September, 1924, at the age
of "a and at the present time has
completed 14A units Of the required
16, which is equivalent to a regular
four-year course. He is working on
the remaining unit and half and
expects to complete the entire course
within a short time.
"Koenig has done excellent work
at all times" Miss Rogers said. His
record card at the present time
shows twelve AS, which is the high
est grade that can be made; seven
Bs, and one G. His purpose in taking
this high school course is to obtain
New York state professional
qualifying certificate OF chiropody."
The courses offered by correspon-
dence are prepared almost entirely
by successful high school teachers,
and each represents definite
amount Of work to be covered just
as in regular residence study. The
courses have been arranged so as
to coordinate with regular resi-
dence work. They are designated as
unit and half unit courses. A unit
represents an amount of work
equivalent to a regular high school
course in which a class meets five
times a week for period of thirty
six weeks. The length of time re-
quired for completion of a unit de-
ponds upon ability and application
of the student. An effort has been
made to plan the work on the basis
of twenty assignments for each unit
of credit.

Convicted Woman Tells OF

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Sept. 28.-Miss
Irma Bitzinger is back at the In
diana Woman's prison today to re-
sumo serving a two to seven-year
term after relating here how she
perpetrated $500,000 Swjndle by
starting with $780, She was brought
back to Fit. Wayne, scene of her
operations, to testify in bankruptcy
proceedings brought by creditors.
She was sentenced in June.
Kept Interest Paid
The prisoner described her system
as follows:
81 had a personal note of my own
that was due and I didn't have
enough money to pay 1t off. So 1
went to my friend, Mrs. Lynn Stahi,
and asked her for 500, saying that
if she would only give it to me, I
would give her $25 for the use OF
it when I returned the 500 two
weeks later. She consented and I
planned to pay off part of my note
with it and with my salary of $3.50
a week, but when the two weeks
were up I could only pay her part,
so she told me to keep the 500 and
I paid her $50 for the interest on
the use of the money both times.
81 kept using this same 500 and
finally when my interest kept COM
ing due, I branched out to others OF
my friends, getting 500 with the
same amount of interest, then $500
and $500, leaving the principals I'M
paid, but paying 5000 as interest on
the $500 loans. 1t just started that
way, and the scheme evolved from
that.
81 kept getting in deeper and
deeper, taking all the principal l
borrowed to pay off the commits
sions and interest. And March l.,
when everything kept piling up, I
saw that the whole thing would
crash. I tried desperately to pay
off all the interest and part of the
principals due, keeping nothing for
myself then in all that I took for
investment.
Honesty Not Doubted
Il told my clients that I could
buy bonds at a premium at the Lin
coin National bank where I former
ly worked. No one seemed to dis
believe me. I was the only one to
know that it was dishonest.
Every one believed and trusted
in me. Sometimes when their pay
ments became due and 1 had to go
out and get other money to meet
their payments, they would threaten
me saying that they we're going to
investigate, but as soon as I paid
them they would say nothing.
Il never kept the money on my
person for more than one hour. I
merely received it and paid it out
again as commissions or interest. I
sometimes would have $4,000
wrapped in a piece of newspaper
tied with string in my brown
purse. I never kept the money over
night

AIRPORT GRASS |
SUGGESTED BY
PURDUE EXPERT
Mixture Including Clover

Favored.
BIZ Tim cs Special

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Sept "a
With increase in air travel and at
tendant development of airports in
principal cities of the state, the
Purdue University Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has had numerous
inquiries as to the best grass to be
used. to withstand the hard usage
administered by the wheels of
alighting planes. The most recent
inquiry was made by officials of the
indianapolis municipal airport, who
consulted Professor A. T. Wiancko,
head Of the agronomy department.
The recommendation made by
the Purdue man for providing
resistant sod for the landing field
is as follows:
Bluegrass, 10 pounds; red top, six
pounds, and timothy three pounds
an acre to be Sowed this fall, before
Oct.l5. Next spring, two to three
pounds of white clover to the acre
should be sowed.
According to Professor Wiancko,
the timothy will establish itself and
make rapid growth next spring
and summer, while the bluegrass
and redtop, which grow more slow.
ly but form a denser sod, will in
time crowd out the timothy, leaving
a tough, dense sod.
The clover which viii be seeded in
the spring will also make a rather
rapid growth and will persist more
or less with the bluegrass and red
top. The last named is included in
the mixture principally because it
thrives better than bluegrass on wet
or acid soils.
The recommendation made to the
Indianapolis airport officials is
practically the same as the pasture
ton of the Purdue
agronomy department except for
the fact that the seeding for
pastures is not quite so heavy.
Wiancko stated, also, that a similar
mixture, without timothy, had been
used very successfully in parks and
on golf courses.
