CUISINES men have great deal to be
thankful for this season. If women had
taken to wearing the new styles at work, they
would have suffered a collapse which would
have made the stock market crash seem in
significant by comparison. With women spend
ing valuable time trying to make trains and
elevators without catching their sleeves and
trailing skirts in the doorways or being forced
to walk about at q Snails pace not very much
work would have been accomplished. am
sure there would have been many casualties.
AS it is, in the evening, when many women are
wearing the new styles, they have dificulty in
getting around. It would have been much
harder to manipulate those frou-frous during
the day.
After all, clothes must be suited for ones
daily life; and If only for economic reasons.
women were forced to revolt. They could not
give their full attention to their work when
dressed in the long. trailing skirts. A woman
who is conscious Of her clothes all the time and
must constantly be careful of them Is bound
to have her work suffer-and her disposition,
too.
Even in the ball room, where the long
gowns look charming, they aren't practical be-
cause they restrict q woman's movements. She
can't dance with freedom IL she fears that her
skirt may tangle in her feet or that her Romeo
may awkwardly trip on it.
But the SaddeSt thing of all about the new
eccentricities is that they add to q woman's
are youthful, but only the very young girl can
swallow that sales talk. The fiapper style made
a woman younger looking, and she would be
foolish to change to q gown, with q couture to
match, which added even one year to her ap-
pearance.
1T is more than mere vanity which prompts
a woman to try to look as youthful as possible
She knows that If she appears to be young it
has happy psychological effect on her spirit.
She is inspired with the confidence and en-
thusiaSm of youth. In the business world and
in some of the professions this is an important
asset. Many a woman's livelihood depends on
the fact that she looks young and she can be
grateful that the happer clothes aid her to
turn the trick. 1t would be nice, too, If the
older man could get such assistance.
However, while like the flapper style,
didn't at all care for the ultra forms of It
which afflicted us last season. The very short
skirts, the fat figure and the closely cropped
hair weren't bit attractive. Few knee points
could stand being exhibited to such a degree.
While I think that American women have
pretty legs, yet there are many who could bene-
At from longer skirt. Possibly" smiled Cobb,
these might be the women who indorSed the
new mode so intellectually.
"At any rate, I'm relieved that legs will
continue to be legs and not mysterious limbs
Since the Happier style became fashionable legs
have been regarded with the same equanimity
as arms. which is the way it should be. The
long skirts may make for feminine seductive
ness, bat they would destroy that splendid
camaraderie which exists between the sexes

today. think woman can be just as FEM
mime and appealing in short skirts And that's
a mans view on the subject" twinkled the
author.
Mr. Cobb was asked whether he thought
that the old-fashioned mode of the nineties
would bring about return to dignity ana
manners, as their advocatorS are inclined to
believe.
It don't see where the long skirts would have
anything to do with it." he answered. During
the greatest periods of licentiousneSs and loose
ness women wore the longest skirts, the highest
coiffures and the biggest hats. Any one who
thinks that change in style might mean q
change in manners is suffering from delusion.
Men," he continued as an afterthought. "are
very much interested in women's clothes, be-
cause they are naturally affected by them.
However, don't suppose they are in any posi-
ton to criticize or TO pass Judgment on them.
Women, at least, are brave enough to change
from one style to another. II anything they
try to Guido each other In being the first to
wear a new mode. But we cowardly men can
only cling to an antiquated. uncomfortable, un-
hygienic and unbecoming style.
The effort made last Summer to adopt the
Scotch pants or the pajama suits aroused q
glimmer of hope in the hearts of men. Possibly
in the course of another century or two we
may be able to pluck up sufficient nerve to wear
one of these models. II we could wear q COM

THROUGHOUT the interview he was rather

Summer.
Cobb once believed it would have been i'm
possible to suggest to q woman that she wear q
simpler, more busineSs-l dress to work. She
insisted upon arraying herself as though she
were going to garden party. Today he finds
that most women show better taste in their

hold higher positions. 1t is only the young
girl who is just breaking into business who

WHIPS
UP WAR FRENZY
Antagonist of France.
Italy Grows

For a third time in few days,
Mussolini breathed fire, this time in
Milan, hurting the most direct
threats against France, and thus eX-
posing to the fullest extent the I'M
usual sharpness of Franco-Italian
antagonisms in the Mediterranean,
especially in regard to the colonies.
eve are well enough informed of
the spirit dominating some of our
neighbors. Today the Italian
people are an armed people, sure Of
their destiny. We must be prepared
for any surprises of tomorrow"
Thus Mussolini spoke before well
over 100000 gathered in the Cathe-
dral Square in Milan. Several times
the crowd shouted: Down with
France" according to capitalist
press reports.
Referring Is the hostile comment
on the other two of his war speeches,
Mussolini said: you have heard my
speeches at Leghorn and Florence.
These speeches had the merit, among
other things, of causing a great out
cry on the part of all those geese
who have appointed themselves the
defenders Of pacifist capitals in va
rious nations of Europe. Never was
a clearer spectacle of human hypoc-
risy SEEN" Thus Mussolini boasts
of his own frankness as one of the
makers Of the coming war.
AS all news from Italy is strictly
censored and nothing that displeases
Mussolini can get out, it is very hare
for US to judge how the Italian
masses responded to these speeches
However, it is clear that aside
from voicing the imperialist ambi
lions of the Italian bourgeoisie ant
partly serving as a warning, from
Italy as we'll as from Great Britain
to France for its attempt to domi
nate the Continent by the plan o.
the United States of Europe, these
speeches by the chief war monger Of
Fascism were also intended for the
purpose of testing the ability of Fas
cism to mobilize the Italian masses
for war. At the same time they
were also aimed at melting the Ital
ian masses and whipping them int
shape for the war that is inevitable
In this sense, these speeches rep
resent a step in the preparation fo,
the coming imperialist war as wei
as a symptom of its drawing near
nearer than most people are willing
to believe.

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS IN
INTERNATIONAL DRIV E
TO AID INDIA STRUGGLE
Enlarged Secretariat Meets in Berlin; Will
Send Delegation to Break Past CensOrs
Finds Workers. and Peasants Throwing Off
Deadening Gandhi Theories and Religion

The League will fix the date of a
general solidarity week for India, in
which collections will be made for
the anti-imperiaIist fighters in In
dia, and to send delegations to India
to break through the iron-clad cen
sorship and veil of lies spread over
the country by the British impe
rialists.
Visas have already been applied
for for a special delegation to India
by the league. Those chosen at the
May 10 meeting to go are: Bridge
man, ENGLAND; Campbell, Scotland;
Fimmen, Holland; Nejedly, Czecho
Slovakia; Muenzenberg, Germany;
Barbusse, France; Dimitrov, Bal
kans.
"~~~'~l attention will be paid to
building the league in England, to
the treacheries Of the Second Inter-
national, and the policy of the eX-
PEELED League member, James Max
ton, and of the Independent Labor
party in England was stigmatiZed as
treachery to the colonial workers.
The All America Anti-Imperialist
League, U. S. Section, belongs to
the World League Against Imperial
ism and For Colonial independence.
Latest reports from India feature
a fight at Bacca between Moslem
and Hindu partisans, in which seri
Gus injuries are said to have been
received. The fight, so useful to
British imperialism, seems to have
been precipitated by an agent-provo-
cateur's murder of a Moslem.
A sentence of two years rigorous
Imprisonment was inflicted on Nand
Chank in report from Delhi, which
characterized the victim as a men,
Der of the depressed classes. The
British policy is thus seen as long
term rigorous imprisonment for the
depressed classes" while the bust
nessmen and professional class Gan
dhists get a few months or days
simple Imprisonment.
There were further arrests yester-
day at Wadala salt works, and this
time crowd of Indians stoned the
police, injuring one of them.

There are increasing signs that
