Fashion Says
Athletic Style

Clothes designers have done all
in their power to make men look
athletic in the 1880 spring styles.
The international Association OF
Clothing Designers, after consid-
ering the masculine fashions back
ward and forward, sends out this
report:
"This appearance (speaking Of
athletically styled models) is ac-
centuated by a broad, square APP
pearance Of the shoulders and the
slimness of the waist and hips. A
shortening of the coat tends to
promote an appearance of breadth,
From the breadth of the shoulders
there will be gradual tapering

Spring Chapeaux To Fit
Every Contour of Face

III 3 ( s 49, . - ~
Hats, hats, hats! Hats with
brims, hats with bows, hats with
flowers! Straw hats, felt hats, fab
ric hats, and more straw hats!
Hats for you, hats for me, hats
for the lady next door!
But we must be careful how we
choose our spring headgear, for
with all the freedom in design,
there is the danger of going astray
and purchasing a hat that is un-
suitable to our type Straws, OF
course, are the favorites, and are
woven and blocked into many novel
effects. Trimming is simple and
striking. Panamalaque and bakou
are popular. For the afternoon,
several models show a combina-
ton of lace with the straw that is
softly becoming.
Beware the wide, dropping hat
except for garden parties. It is
woefully out of place anywhere
elseI The turned up brim and long
back are the newest notes. Bows
of wide, soft satin ribbon alternate
with bows of narrow grosgrain
and velvet in favor. The sweeping
Gainsborough slant is repeated in
other of the spring hats.
Navy blue, 'fbrighter" navy blue
and linen blue will be the reigning
colors. Light, bright green's, and
black accentuated with a touch of
color will share honors with the
blues. Brims turn up and down,
but are generally narrow and re-
strained. E -

AS for shoes, the strap pump of
black or colors with contrasting
binding, afternoon pumps of kid
trimmed with reptile and buckle,
and evening slippers with high,
modified Franch heel are worn this
spring. The straight spike or the
Spanish heel has yielded to the
curving French influence.

SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE

An ironical situation that exists in our
present mode of living is called to mind
by the statement of Admiral Richard f.
Byrd that his South Pole expedition is
$4,000 in debt
almost every day" the admiral is
quoted as saying, Il receive calls for help
from some of the men who were with me
and | cannot turn them down
The Byrd expedition was a splendid
example of devotion to an ideal and of
self-sacrifice that it might be consum-
mated. The men in the ranks who did
the rough work of the voyage, did it
without complaining ami d terrible
weather conditions. They were as much
inspired to be part of an undertaking
that would bring honor and glory to their
country as the admiral himself was.
While these men and their leader feel
the pinch of need, we read of gangsters,
beer barons, racketeers and their ilk
rolling in wealth, maintaining small
armies, living like kings and defying the
government which Byrd and his men so
loyalty served.
A nation that permits the two condi-
tlons to exist has something radically
wrong with it. We have known of many
congressional appropriations that We're
lar less worthy than one to liqudate the
Byrd debt would be-
There was no hesitancy in saving
plenty of nice words about the Byrd ex-
pedltlon, or in bestowing few more or
less empty honors upon those who took
part in it. Doing something practical
to aid 1t is something else again.

JOIN THE RED CROSS
W. c. COSTELLO,
Manager

FL Centros Red Cross roll call is now
on, and will continue for the next two
weeks.
During that time very resident who
can afford at least dollar, should be
enrolled among the wearerS of the but
ton which signifies the wearer as one
taking part in the greatest humanltar-
ian work in the world.
1t is needless to dwell at length on the
work the Red Cross does. Honored by
having the President Of the United
States as its head, it contains hundreds
of willing and devoted workers ever
ready to answer the call of human dis
treSS.
No major disaster occurs without the
Red Cross being on the scene with a
promptneSs that is astonishing, ready to
do its work Be it fire, flod, famine or
trouble of any other sort, the Red Cross
is on hand with food, clothing and shell
ter.
In the fiscal year ending June 80,
1880, it gave relief in SO states, in eight
of them relief being given three times
and in 10 states help was given in four
or more disasters. 1t operated in "a
veterans bureaus and government hos
pitfalls, giving aid to more than 26,4S6
sick and disabled veterans monthly.
Locally the Red Cross has functioned
100 per cent. Little of its actual work
gets into the public prints. 1t works be-
hind the scenes, but the worthiness of its
activities can be attested by any court
officer or those whose work places them
in contact with the poor and needy.
One dollar is not a great deal of money
for the most of US. 1t represents the
price of one moving picture show for a
married couple. Surely there are few
who cannot sacrifice this much to help
a worthy cause.

INEXCUCABLE STUPIDITY

1t is difficult to understand how two
trained railway men could have permit
ted San Franciscos Wednesday night
trolley accident to occur.
A passenger drops coin while the car
is in tunnel, it falls to the tracks, and
the conductor gives the motorman sig
nal to reverse his car so that the coin
may be salvaged. The signal is carried
out and another car following closely,
crashes into the first I'M uring 13 persons,
two so seriously that their legs had to
be amputated.
One of these latter victims is boy of
13 who is cruelty crippled for life. The
other is the head of a family badly in
need of his support.
Railway men are trained from the out
set to play it safe at all times. The safe
tv factor is stressed above every other.
The crew on this particular car had re-
ceived such training, yet they deliber-
ately ignored it. Of all places to disre-
gard rule they picked out the very
worst-a tunnel.
We have heard of railway tragedies
in which the crew was made the goat
for company negligence or bad equip
mcnt. This present case seems to be one
where the company is made the goat
by couple of the biggest nit-wits inag-
Unable. If they don't face criminal
charges for their dumbness it is an in
dication that there are many more dumb

Timidly the animal ladies un-

Well might the rabbit lady ask

ROOM - FOR IMPROVEMENT

Harry Carr wonders in the Los An
geles Times, how Monday nights fatal
auto accident at Coyote Wells could have
occurred when there is so much room
there.
Apparently the distinguished journal
ist has never driven that particular road
at night. If he was coming this way
some summers night with bunch of
young demons driving hell for leather
passing him at so miles an hour and up,
he would readily be converted to the be-
lief that there is no room out there at
all.
The surprise to us is not that this par
ticular accident occurred, but that more
do not occur, especially in the summer
when the great race to see who can get
down from Jacumba the quickest, is
staged every Sunday night.
This particular stretch of highway
needs attention and needs it Immediate
ly. The surface is bad and the road is
too narrow. For a main travelled high
way it is not what California road
should be.
These remarks are offered without
any idea of excusing or explaining the
Monday night tragedy, which is yet to
be considered by a coroner's jury.
